I found the new max zoom out to be very nice as well. And it was one of the major complains
Block the trolls, don't answer them, so we can remove the garbage from these forums
However this is something that is actually happening which makes you the troll. You know what they say don't you
You have to pay the troll toll if you want to get into this boys hole you have to pay the troll toll to get in!.
Also the stress test was supposed to see how much a server/ client could handle ingame, they could have just flooded the login with bots if they wanted to crash it out of the gate. So that doesn't make any sence for the poeple blindly saying thats what its for! All the other stress tests anet has done was like that.
First people exspected beta's to run smooth as if it was released. The whole idea behind beta TEST is just misunderstood. Well as time goes by, im getting used to it, and even the whining threads about bad beta exsperience doesn't bother me anymore.
But now this comes up? Now the whining about login serveres on a STRESS TEST?
It's 3 or 4 in the afternoon for the majority of the US. Are there that many unemployed GW2 fans?
different shifts, summer time vacation, lots of kids at home, stay at home parents, college students, etc..etc... why you are on a forum ?
Unemployed college student.
I wouldn't doubt that Anet are doing what they can to bottleneck the servers versus their being under stress from the amount of logins from would-be players.
Yep, that's why I'm waiting until even a few weeks post launch at least, just to avoid the madness. (and I find testing reduces my enjoyment of a game)
im expecting network lag the first week but only because Ive seen that in all other mmo launches
Why is it that every stress test someone comes along who doesn't understand what that entails. Stress tests are not for the consumer they are for the developer. The consumers are guineapigs for whatever tests the developer has planned. They are not for bug finding or preview purposes. Bugs found might be actual bugs or they are bugs created by whatever they are trying to stress.

Geeze, ease up. People are just anxious to play again. Everyone is well aware that it is a stress test. It's also an opportunity to play a really fun game if only for a little while.
Considering how stable the servers were during the BWE, I simply think they are really "STRESS" testing their servers so shit happens now, and not during release in 2.5 weeks.

Which is Server and zone capacity like last time not loging in? That was done in BWE2, I like how people are trying to pretend like this is supposed to be happening lol. Like I said earlier if they wanted to test just logging in they could have just flooded logins with bots.

There is NO miracle patch.
95% of what you see in beta won't change by launch.

I'm preety sure this is a routing test, it doesn't make sense that there's no in game lag but the servers keep booting people off.
Right now they're simulating a high end DNS attack :P

wow I just broke my record of playing the shortest time on a MMO World of warcraft was 1 second when i saw the graphics I was like WTF Rage quite now Arena Net has 3 Seconds I choose my already bad ass kick ass Charector rdy to Rock N Roll and Bang! im back to the log in screen, i have a prediction World Of Warcraft had 1 second that - 10 million subscribers Arena Net Guild Wars Had 3 Seconds = 30 million Subscribers gets me thinking like this shit is going to be smooth like Key Stone Beer!.

So yeah.....
and second shifters... and third shifters... there's quite a few of us too
Nope, but most major MMOS have a fairly even split between US and EU players, and it's primetime over this side of the Atlantic!
It's just getting worse.

A.net is oversaturating the servers, i don't know exactly why, but they are.
In game performance seems amazing, no lag, great fps, great gfx improvements, now to see if they find what they're looking for so i can play a bit.

Yeah, for the brief time I was at the character select screen, I noticed I was getting 60 FPS when it's usually locked at 30.
Nope. Granted I can't play the stress test because I'm not at home
People seem to be having connection issues. This is the point of the stress test though so ANet can get the kinks out before launch.
