			We’ll be conducting a stress test on Monday May 14 from 11 AM to 6:00 PM PDT (-7 GMT). <br />
<br />
This special test event is open only to Pre-Purchase customers who have registered their accounts. With your help, we can conduct important tests and address some of the issues we identified during our first Beta Weekend Event. During this event, all you need to do is play normally with a new or existing character on your Beta account using the same game client. Please note that since this is a stress test of our servers, you may experience some in-game performance issues. If you’ve pre-purchased Guild Wars 2 and wish to participate in the stress test, we recommend that you register the account and download the game client.<br />
<br />
Pre-Purchase customers, log in to the Beta Forums for more information and/or to download the Beta client if needed. <br />

This weekend is the first beta weekend for people who have pre ordered for the Secret World.<br />

I know a handful of us are in so let's use this thread to check in and make plans.<br />

At this time we have not announced a chapter for the game so more than anything these beta weekends will serve to to gauge how much interest there is within the guild for the game.<br />

I'll be playing.  Who else?</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>For a few months now we've been working on getting an initial group of streamers going for our AureusKnights.TV channel on Twitch.  Now that we have content streaming almost every night I wanted to get a sticky post up to encourage people to check out the channel.<br />
<br />
<b>What is AureusKnights.TV?</b><br />
<br />
AureusKnights.TV is a livestream channel dedicated to streaming the current primary activity of the guild.  Even if you are unable to play with the guild at a given you can load up the stream to see what we are up to.  Our streams also always include audio from the relevant game's ventrilo channel (where possible) so you can get a relatively full experience of what the guild is up to.<br />
<br />
We will be streaming our casual games (League of Legends in particular) as well as our guild events.  When we start doing events in Guild Wars 2 and Planetside 2 they will all be streamed.<br />
<br />
The stream also offers a chat room that is almost always monitored by the streamer so you can participate in discussions around what is happening in game as well!<br />
<br />
<b>How do I watch the stream?</b><br />
<br />
We've setup a page here on the forums with a large stream window as well as a chat window.  You can check it out <a href="http://www.aureusknights.com/pages.php?pageid=1" target="_blank">here.</a><br />
<br />
There are also twitch.tv/justin.tv APPs for iPhone and Android that you can download as well.  Get the relevant app for your platform and search for AureusKnightsTV.<br />
<br />
<b>I would like to become a streamer, how do I do this?</b><br />
<br />
We are always looking for streamers.  If you are interested you can contact RJO for details.<br />
<br />
Some things to note on being a streamer (some basic requirements really):<br />
<ul><li style="">You need xsplit or another piece of software for streaming</li><li style="">You will need your audio setup to allow you to broadcast the game, ventrilo and your own microphone</li><li style="">You will need the bandwidth and computer specs to be able to pull off playing the game while streaming</li></ul><br />
<br />
At some point in the future ehrie or I will get a guide up on how to setup xsplit for streaming.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>So now that we are past the first beta weekend and probably have more people interested in the game, I thought that it would be pretty neat if we had a GW 1 group aimed at getting the rewards from the HoM. I realize we have a somewhat similar thread on the topic, but I wanted to see if anyone was interested in actually gunning for the rewards and I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong area.<br />
<br />
The goal of this group is for each member to hit the 30/50 mark in order to get all the rewards. We would meet a few times a week.<br />
Just a group of about 4-8 people enjoying the game as we explore the content and find the fastest way of getting all the extra items.<br />
<br />
If there is enough interest in this then we can start as early as this weekend or next week (depending on everyone's schedule).<br />
<br />
I'm not sure what our class composition will be but I am hoping for at least 2 Tanks 2 Healers and 4 DPS'. We can get into it more when/if the group gets together.<br />
<br />
If you are interested then just post your in-game name, preffered role, and the campaigns you own. (Note: you must have Eye  of the North to access the HoM) That way we can see what professions we have and what campaigns we can go through.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Good evening knights,<br />
<br />
As things in SWTOR have slowed down substantially for us we are starting to slow down our presence in the game.  One of the steps involved in that process is to retire the Guild Chapter Officers who are no longer active in the game.  I would like everyone to join me in thanking the following volunteers who stepped up to help the guild in TOR:<br />
<br />
From the Empire chapter: Acestealth, Conn, Eamon, Fengbald, Mad_goku and Viveck <br />
From the Republic chapter: Chux, Mattaos and Ryath<br />
<br />
Although TOR didn't work out the way everyone hoped it would these guys really stepped up to deliver an amazing experience for the guild in TOR.  When the game was at its peak for the guild it was far and away the most successful chapter we've ever had by any metric.  We had around 200 knights playing, consuming all manner of PVE and PVP content and most importantly having a blast.  The guild could not have done it without the contributions of each and every person listed above.<br />
<br />
So thank you guys for a job well done.  I'm very hopeful that you guys will volunteer for our future chapters because the job you did in TOR was exemplary.  Thank you so much.<br />
<br />

*You’ve been revealing various roles...]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Gamebreaker.TV has an interesting interview with PS2's creative director, it is an interesting read:<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>You’ve been revealing various roles (“classes”). Are those “hard-wired,” or just “suggestions”? Basically, how much freedom will players have to customize their character’s skills and overall capabilities?</b><br />
<br />
Within each class there will be a tremendous amount of variability; weapons, tools, abilities and more that can be customized. Classes will contain discrete abilities that won’t be shared cross-class, though. For instance, you can’t outfit your Heavy Assault class with the Medic’s healing tool, but within the Heavy Assault class there is a lot of room for varying loadouts and switching up your play style based on the situation or the battle you are heading into, as well as the needs of your squad, platoon or outfit.<br />
<br />
<b>So if I wanted, could I just decide all I ever want to do is drive a tank and build up all my tank skills and basically nothing else?</b><br />
<br />
Yes, there will be extensive customization available for each of the vehicles, so if you wanted to dedicate yourself purely to tank driving you will definitely be able do that.<br />
<br />
<b>How will advancement work? Will I advance/unlock new skills by racking up kills, taking installations, winning missions, etc.? Will there be offline leveling?</b><br />
<br />
In PlanetSide 2, advancement takes the form of unlocking “Certifications” which require Cert Points. As a player you’ll earn Cert Points by playing the game, defeating other players, accomplishing goals, working with your team, etc. You’ll also be able to earn Cert Points while offline if you meet certain requirements.<br />
<br />
<b>How easily will a new player be able to fit into the game against veterans who have all the skills, gear, perks, etc.?</b><br />
<br />
One of our overarching goals for PlanetSide 2 is to make a legitimately competitive FPS experience. That means making it so that a five-minute and five-year player are able to compete with each other. To that end, we’ve ensured that ranking up, unlocking certs, and acquiring new weapons give you access to more play styles and breadth rather than more power and depth. So, although that five-year player might be more versatile than you, in a straight-up firefight, you’ll be just as likely to kill him as he is to kill you. Additionally, if you come into PlanetSide 2 as a great FPS player, you’ll be successful regardless of your “noob” status.<br />
<br />
<b>Will there be any kind of long-term goals in place? Killing each other and taking territory is cool, but do there need to be bigger strategic goals?</b><br />
<br />
We have an extremely robust strategic meta-game, especially for a shooter. Taking territory does more than just change which flag is on the flag pole, it gives the presiding empire access to specific resources and denies those resources to the others. Cornering certain types of resources to deny access to enemy empires create the need for strategic choices before you engage in major battles, giving additional dimension to the fight.<br />
<br />
<b>How often do you think you’ll add new maps/continents? Will it be along the lines of most games’ small-ish “free updates” (every three to five months or so) or more like big, expansion-sized updates (every one to two years)?</b><br />
<br />
We’re hoping to release new content on a regular basis; which may include additional features like new vehicles, weapons, continents, etc. Although, we don’t want to add new content too often because in a competitive game such as PlanetSide 2, adding new vehicles and weapons requires a certain degree of relearning the rules of the game. So rather than having those switch-ups every week or two, we’d prefer to have them a little more spaced out so the gameplay has a chance to settle in between additions.<br />
<br />
<b>How do you plan to stop hackers in the game?</b><br />
<br />
One of our biggest and best weapons against cheating will be 24/7 dedicated customer service staff who will be working to ensure that the game remains hack-free. I asked our Technical Director Ryan Elam to share some details about our anti-hacking strategies, and here’s what he said:<br />
<br />
“Security is a huge concern for PlanetSide 2 specifically, and all SOE games in fact spend considerable time creating and implementing security and anti-hack/anti-cheat features.  However, just like if you went to your bank today and asked them to detail how they’re protecting your money, I’ll tell you that one of the ways we protect our code is to not discuss how we protect our code.  We have code that has been worked on for over a decade to secure the gameplay of our customers and we will continue to vigorously do so.”<br />
<br />
<b>In PS1, players sometimes felt little accomplishment from taking over bases, because the bases you took over just got back-capped by single stealthers. Is that changing in PS2 and are there large enough incentives to defend against back-capping?</b><br />
<br />
Yes, the territory control system we’ve designed for PlanetSide 2 changes a lot of the mechanics about base capture and “back-capping.” Back-capping (the act of capturing a facility behind enemy lines) will still be possible but will require concentrated effort from groups of players rather than just a single player circumventing the major fight and being a nuisance behind your front lines. Defenders will be able to respond to back-capping a bit more easily, since capturing a base that’s surrounded by enemy territory will take an extremely long time and re-securing a base that’s surrounded by your own territory will be very quick.<br />
<br />
<b>Any idea when the beta will start?</b><br />
<br />
Sometime in the future!<br />
<br />
We can’t wait. Thanks Matt (and Ryan) for your time!</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>A neat undocumented feature, you can set the game to play your own sound track. Details from a developer:<br />
<br />
<br />
It’s actually in and working, but the feature wasn’t publicly documented. Here’s how it currently works:<br />
Under [Your Name]\Documents\Guild Wars Gw2Dev folder, you’ll see that GW2 creates a Music folder next to the Screens folder (where screenshots go). All you need to do to get your external music collection playing in the game is to create a playlist of the appropriate name and type in this folder.<br />
Supported playlist formats are .wpl, .m3u, .pls, .asx, and .wax.<br />
Supported audio types are everything FMOD supports by default, which includes .mp3, .ogg, .flac, .wav. aiff, and a bunch of old-school music formats, like .mid or .it files.<br />
There are eight specific playlists the game recognizes, and these are designated simply by the playlist’s file name. They are: Ambient, Battle, Underwater, City, Crafting, BossBattle, NightTime, and MainMenu. Hopefully these are somewhat self-explanatory in terms of when you might expect to hear them play.<br />
So, for example, if you create a playlist called Ambient.m3u, anything in that playlist will be heard instead of the standard in-game ambient music (the general music you hear when running around in the world).<br />
Each internal playlist can designate a primary and secondary playlist to look for. Most of the playlists will fall back to Ambient if they do not exist. This means that if you’d like to simply replace the majority of the music in the game, you can just create an Ambient playlist, or maybe just Ambient and Battle. However, if you really want to customize your playlist in detail, you can create the more specialized playlists such as NightTime or Crafting.<br />
The easiest (and at the moment, the only) way to test this is with a MainMenu playlist, since that will replace the music at the login screen.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>So now some of us have had a chance to play the game for a decent amount of time I wanted to see what everyone thinks of the different classes at this point.  What do you think you'll be playing at launch?  Or are you like me and did beta make your class decision even harder? :)<br />
<br />
The classes: <br />
<br />
<b>Guardian</b><br />
The three virtues provide beneficial passive effects for the guardian. Virtues can be sacrificed to provide similar effects that benefit all nearby allies. The virtues are: Courage, Justice and Resolve, which provide the guardian with Aegis, burning attacks and Rejuvenation, respectively.<br />
<br />
<b>Warrior</b><br />
Warriors gain adrenaline by attacking in combat. Adrenaline builds up to fuel a burst skill, which has three power-levels depending on the how much adrenaline has been accumulated. The burst skill available is determined by the main-hand weapon currently in use. For example, Skull Crack will stun the opponent for a longer time on higher levels of adrenaline. They are able to wield swords, greatswords, hammers, longbows, and rifles. Underwater they are able to wield a spear and harpoon gun.<br />
<br />
<b>Engineer</b><br />
The engineer's profession mechanic is the tool belt. It provides the engineer with four different abilities which augment any healing and utility skills equipped in their skill bar. For example, equipping the Med kit skill to the tool belt also provides the engineer with the Bandage Self skill. Tool belt skills can be used regardless of whether the associated heal/utility skill is currently active or not.<br />
<br />
<b>Ranger</b><br />
The unique mechanic of the ranger is the animal companion. A ranger can have up to four companions, but only one can be deployed at a time. Each companion has three skills that the animal uses automatically, and one species skill that is activated by the ranger. The mechanic bar contains the interaction commands that allow the ranger to activate the species skill, as well as to control the animal's target and to change the active companion.<br />
<br />
<b>Thief</b><br />
The thief's weapon skills do not use normal recharge times, but instead require initiative. Initiative constantly recharges, and allows the thief to quickly use custom chains of attack skills at the cost of being unable to attack again until initiative has recharged. The thief can also steal, which generates a random environmental weapon depending on the enemy. For example, stealing from an Oakheart will obtain a branch which can be used to attack enemies.<br />
<br />
<b>Elementalist</b><br />
Elementalists can attune to one of the four elements: Fire, Water, Air or Earth. Each attunement changes the five weapon skills on the skill bar, depending on the elementalist's equipped weapon set.<br />
<br />
<b>Mesmer</b><br />
Mesmers create illusions to confuse and damage their targets. Illusions can also be shattered, destroying them and causing secondary effects.<br />
<br />
<b>Necromancer</b><br />
Necromancers use special resource called life force which is gathered each time a creature near them dies, or additionally by using certain skills. Life force can be used to improve some skills, but its main function is to fuel necromancer's Death Shroud. While in Death Shroud, the character is immune to knockdown and has access to new skills. The amount of life force determines the duration of Death Shroud.</div>

<b>General</b><br />
<br />
<u>How do I tell what I should be doing?</u><br />
<br />
Your personal story quest will be your general guide to where you should be in the world.  With that said there are a lot of different things you can do to level.  If you want to level via PvE I would try and work towards completing all the hearts in your starter area.  Keep your eyes peeled for dynamic events (orange circles on your map) as they will give huge XP and grant you karma.<br />
<br />
<b>PvP - World vs World</b><br />
<br />
<b>PvP - Structured PvP</b></div>
