GW2 BWE2 - What's new?

[Giggles]

gawd, took like 20 times to get in. after char selection it would kick me because it couldn't connect.

[kokabel]

Got in! I did a bad thing and picked up a cheapish but not totally rubbish card, and installed it (after a lot of stress with my computer noobness).

But then I went to get food and post about the problem with my other card on the beta forums, and now it can't connect! Oh, lol.

[Akirai Annuvil]

Can't connet either. Error code 42 this time. Ah well, at least it's the answer to everything.

it's whining about a firewall now, i don't even have one active.....

They expanded the bank collectibles items, to include things like gem chips and uncommon crafting materials like weak blood.

...but why does my client keep playing GW1 music?

[Giggles]

finally go in. seems to be running smoother for me.

...but why does my client keep playing GW1 music?

but that's the part i love about this BWE, it adds a bit of familiarity in it mixed with nostalgia.

[Guided Daggers]

I wonder if that music is to stay or if it's just placeholder.

I'm eternally loading the Eternal Battlegrounds.
Why did they remove loading bars?
Why did they remove the Queue popup?
Why did they remove the Overflow popup before zoning in?

Changes to Elementalist skills here

Almost exclusively "nerfs" (e.g.they made Gale even worse), except a few under water Trident skills. They took away two combo finishers, removing the ability to do a Whirl combo completely.

I'll complete the list over the weekend as I am too tired now.
