    I WANT ANOTHER BWE!

    If "nearby" is 200 miles, then yes: Mayberry is near Beautancus. It's on I-40 halfway between Raleigh (east of center of NC geographically) and Wilmington (southeast corner of NC). Mayberry, NC is directly north of charlotte, near the Virginia border. Edit: now that I think of it, you're...

    I WANT ANOTHER BWE!

    I'll be spending the weekend in the sprawling town of Beautancus, NC! (No B&B resort, or even half-decent hotel anywhere nearby... Mt Olive is the nearest thing to a city nearby, of Pickle Factory (and Butterball Turkey Factory) fame.

    I've got a sweet tooth

    As a necro, I ran as AP caller with mark of pain. 3 discord necros more for the minion wall than the single spike of discord. That was mainly there to fuel my soul reaping, which kept my energy up so I could roll without ever having to really stop to regen. A single spirit spammer, a panic...

    I've got a sweet tooth

    Once you get that hero team put together that just rolls through the entire area, a full run in an hour or less is very doable. It's as safe a survivor method as any IMO. HM kilroy with lightbringer scrolls can max survivor in under 3 hours, but it felt too grind-ish to me.

    I've got a sweet tooth

    I'm partial to the FoW runs. I even logged in a second account and dragged that character along (6 hero fullrun) for the extra couple chest drops at the end. I ended up running in normal mode for the added safety, plus using a consumable or two here or there (essence) to speed the run. Not...

    I WANT ANOTHER BWE!

    Sounds like a much better B&B than I last encountered: adjacent to a noisy highway in tourist-trap-central, single room barely big enough for a twin bed, shower stall so small you can only stand half inside, no hot water, and McDonalds breakfast would seem like a 5-star restaurant compared to...

    I WANT ANOTHER BWE!

    Gotta agree on that. I'd never hear the end of it if I skipped out on an anniversary trip, no matter the actual proximity to said anniversary. My wife is very understanding of me wanting to play GW2 though. Even though it was a fairly hectic evening on that Monday stress test, she let me...

    I WANT ANOTHER BWE!

    Lol Abba... similar predicament for me: wife's grandma's bday party that weekend, so I won't get much if any time to play this go-round either.

    Apparently he was added in the May 17th update.

    I've got a sweet tooth

    Good news for those working on sweet tooth but with a glut of non-spammable sweets to work through: a new NPC in Temple of Balthazaar to exchange non-spammable sweets for spammables. http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Kazuma

    I WANT ANOTHER BWE!

    "Officially" official: no BWE this weekend. Anet is setting up more servers in their datacenters to better handle the volume of players they've had in the previous BWE and Stress Test. Once deployed, they'll announce BWE2's date.

    I WANT ANOTHER BWE!

    Translation: not in May, probably not June 1st weekend either.

    I WANT ANOTHER BWE!

    Based on the last announcement and timing, between Monday and Wednesday are the times when you can anticipate an announcement of a BWE, but not for the current week. Giving that much time between announcement and event can be used as a short-term sales boost.

    I WANT ANOTHER BWE!

    With memorial day coming up next Monday, I was just thinking how cool a long-weekend BWE would be, but doesn't look like that's in the plan for arenanet. BWE may = play time for us, but it means working all weekend around-the-clock for them.

    Reserve your Guild Wars 2 Name

    I'm bringing over my main as far as names go, but the rest will be unique. I may create them in gw just to reserve the name temporarily. Most of my alts have outlived their usefulness aside from collecting mini pets for fun.

    Game Stop vs GW2

    Gamestop had their earnings conference call yesterday, and stated that Guild Wars 2 would not be released (and therefore affect their earnings) in the current quarter. So that puts it post-July in their estimation. That seems to coincide with NCSoft's call of late q3 or early q4 at this point.

    Game Stop vs GW2

    Gamestop has had 6/26 as their date since prepurchase opened, but arenanet stated that date was only gamestop's guess since no date had been provided to them. Gamestop managers have stated in the past that arbitrary dates are assigned as placeholders when actual dates are unknown. SWTOR for...

    GW2 Stress-Test - feedback

    Broke down and purchased Sunday night, found an old link directly to the downloader, and a few hours later, had this glorious music playing on a login screen. My fear that I would work late, have 3 meals I had to cook, etc. were realized late Monday, having to work an hour over due to an...

    Stress Test Monday May 14th

    I'll probably miss this as well for any number of reasons: 1. Probably won't buy until may 25th 2. Working Monday until 5pm at least 3. Potentially working later for system upgrade at work 4. Cooking dinner/eating dinner when I get home 5. Cleaning up from dinner and visiting with...
