I am happy to say I was able to get the guild name I wanted. The First Dragon Slayers [FDS] were one of if not the first guild on Sorrow's Furnace and possibly in the game. I don't know if I"m allowed to post our site but if you want details pm me. So happy I can now use guild and/or character names freely now without risk of anyone swooping them up.
Loving the HoM rewards, they just look sick!
PM Lord Falkenstein if you want to chat in game.
Not only were the stress tests apparently pointless, the reintroduced old grouping bugs. Forming a party is horrid atm as any mapping usually results in discon or party members being trapped in large cities with no exits.
I'm not a server guru but if you know how many accounts have been sold then can you not ensure you can support all those accounts at once? The stress tests were supposed to help ANet make sure this wouldn't happen. I expected an hour or two of downtime and still this is far better than some other releases >.> and this is technically not the final and full release (that being Tuesday) but ANet has essentially been treating it as such and one would have expected all those last minute tests to ensure server stability would have drastically reduced the severity of what it happening right now.
Still waiting on the better Nvidia drivers (I did upgrade to the beta ones) only getting 30-40FPS on my sig rig at absolute max settings.
