I give up on trying to decide a profession choice...

As of yesterday I've come back full circle to playing a Norn Ranger as my main. I don't know... there's just something about the Norn's larger than life yet down to earth attitude that just clicks with me. And the Ranger, well... to me it feels the most versatile in what they can do with their weapon and utility skills.
I also come around from Char Warrior back to Norn Warrior....

You can get the Warrior out of Halas, but you cant get the Halas out of the Warrior...

Norn warrior all the way for me

While I'd like to agree with Vrain, I'd rather have ArenaNet break the servers now and fix the problem then have the servers break at launch and us unable to play. Hell... I've been waiting for five years, two more weeks won't kill me.

I find it amusing that their page is flooded with comments like, "what kind of stress test starts at 3am???" "WTF Arenanet? why stressing the servers at offpeak times?" etc. etc.   Sounds so familiar....

It was fun to see the game again.  I am just at the point where I want my characters to matter.  I love the game and can not wait to start my story.

I gotta admit, I had to fight myself getting a little nervous after playing last night.  I know it was a stress test, but the game was unplayable last night.  I rubberbanded the whole night.  The only time I didn't was when I was in PVE areas without anyone else around me.  I didn't want to further spoil any story lines so I just wanted to do WvW and SPvP.  Eventhough I found myself pushing through, to say last night's experience was horrible was an understatement.

Really excited for the game to come out, but last night experience was awful.

It was unplayable for me for the majority of the test as well. Looks like it didn't have anything to do with the game though, one of the data centres in the US was apparently having issues so anyone connecting through it had severe lag.

Stress tests aren't supposed to be pleasant, not in the least bit. If it was pleasant, then you are one lucky guy. But in no way should we even come close to expecting a stress test to be nice.

Don't let yourself get freaked out over something that is supposed to happen. It's not like the game will be unplayable. People who pre-purchase didn't pay to play the game without any problems. ArenaNet intended to let people into the servers so they could test the game and get rid of bugs. That's what betas are for. No need to worry about anything regarding the game. :)

Also, be happy. Some people couldn't even get the client to run, like myself. I tried so many different things to try to get the client to run, yet nothing happened. Because of this, ArenaNet got over 150 client error reports from me last night. :P
