This official posting gives a nice brief overview of what will be in the BWE: http://www.arena.net/blog/the-beta-weekend-event-is-coming

Pretty much it's all professions, and charr, human, or norn characters. No sylvari or asura in this BWE round.

Looks like both structured and WvW PVP will be open to us, and for the first time we can visit Lions Arch! biggrin.gif

EDIT: Looks like grishkathefool beat me to it. smile.gif

That's right, we've started sending out emails with instructions for where/how to download the Beta client. Thanks for your patience; happy patching! ~RB2

Can someone explain to me the difference between WvW and Structured PvP? As I understand it, there is no PvP stat, so there is no "PvP Gear?" I think in WvW, I can get PvE items, but structured PvP doesnt have an incentive? I just dont understand why anyone would want to do structured PvP since you cant win anything but cosmetic items. Why wouldnt everyone just play WvW since you can get items you can actually use?

well it's really up to the player. if someone just wants to pvp all the time or do some competitive pvp, he can do just that. naturally, a full blown pvp player wouldn't care as much as pve players. but this also makes it fair for players for just casually pvp and mostly pve. kinda see what im saying?

end game pvp in GW2 seems to be fully focused on skill instead of gear, which is great.

Define items you can use. When you reach the level cap all item stats level off and its only a cosmetic grind anyway, so I don't see an actual advantage to doing WvW as opposed to structured PvP. In GW2 there is no "PvP gear" or "PvE gear" there is just gear. When you cap at 80, you will likely have the best stats in the game, so doing anything else at that point is either for challenge, fun, cosmetic gear, achievements, skill points, etc. You don't need to grind for gear stats. When you go into WvW you get basically the same rewards as in PvP and PvE. So why does it matter which you choose? The answer is it doesn't. If you like structured PvP or WvW, go for it, if you like PvE, no one's stopping you, hell even if you like exploring it's just as good as anything else.

Mmhh... I just purchased GW2 and now I've done all the registration account. Is there a client to pre-load the game somewhere? I don't want to download it during the beta event (slow connection)...

I went to beta.guildwars2.com signed in and then there was something about a stress test and signing a NDA agreement. Then proceeded to follow a link to download the client, but it took me to the forums. Trying to go back to it, it says beta sign up is closed now.

I still haven't gotten the e-mail 3 hours after they announced they were sending them out, even though I've gotten all other e-mail notifications from A-net. However, I just went to the GW2 forums from my account page. It has a download client there that I've been downloading. I think it's the right one since it specifically states that "We're excited that you're joining us for our first ever Beta Weekend Event. AS this is no longer a "closed" beta, you're not bound by a Non-Disclosure Agreement, so feel free to talk about your Guild Wars 2 experience with your friends, family, and total strangers. We'll see you in-game!"

Sounds like the right client to me.
