I'm surprised I haven't seen a topic related to this. I did do a search but it didn't turn up.

Anyway, has anyone played in the Dust 514 beta yet? I tried it for half an hour last Sunday but I couldn't really get to grips with it. It seems like a fairly solid game, and I consider myself to be a decent player when it comes to first person shooters, but this game was brutal when it came to fighting other players.

For example, I would see someone across the battlefield and shoot at them. I would get a couple of hits in, but I wouldn't kill them. Then they shoot me with pretty much the same gun once or twice and I'm dead.

What are your thoughts on the game? Have any of you played it recently?

It's currently in beta.

Hey all

I was just wondering what your opinions would be of an increased XP percentage (for a limited amount of time) for those people who have been logged out for more than a day. I believe it's a system the Lord of the Rings Online incorporated into their game, and I personally think it worked pretty well.

To explain it: you play the game normally, and then log out. If you go over 24 hours of not playing the game; the next time you log on, you have a boost in the xp you receive from everything. This only lasts for about an hour.

I personally think it might be a good idea to incorporate this system into Guild Wars 2 to make levelling much more accessible for those people who simply don't have the time to play every single day. They wouldn't have an advantage over other players - it would just be a small xp boost (like the xp boosts you receive from the gem store and black lion chests) to help them on their story.

After all, the game is very much based on your own personal story, yet you're constantly locked out of it because you're not the appropriate level. This system would be targeted more towards the people with busy lives, families, etc and would just allow them to play when they can and access their personal stories much more easily, rather than logging on and finding that they have to do another 10 events in order to access the next story mission.

This is all just my opinion, though. What do you guys think about it? Would it be a good system or bad? Why?

Hey all

I've been around on the forums for quite a while, and in the game for much longer. I've played Guild Wars 1 and fell in love with it. I couldn't wait for Guild Wars 2. As soon as it was released,I started my own guild for just me and my friends. Now I want to join a guild that is active and very friendly. I want to be able to play with people as well - not just chat with them.

I have characters of various levels (only one level 80), I don't mind helping people out whatsoever and I'm looking for a family-friendly environment (no swearing in every other sentence). I also do dungeons quite often. I try to be on about 3 times a week. My time is limited since I have work, studying to do and I'm also running a Minecraft server

I will not change server to join you guild, so please don't respond to this by saying 'come and join us on XYZ!' I really don't want to keep server-hopping to find a guild.

If you're interested - let me know via PM please

I don't really know the difference between anime and cartoons, so please forgive me if I used the wrong terminology

Anyway, I've been trying to think of this cartoon/anime show for a fair few days now and I can't for the life of me figure out what it was called. Basically, it was about a 9 or 10 year-old Asian boy (possibly Chinese) who was obsessed with women. I do remember that he loved his teacher quite a bit. It wasn't serious at all - it was completely child friendly as well.

He also lived with his mum and dad and I do remember one episode where they were fighting for his affection. His mum made him tonnes of cooked foods and his dad bought him all of the coolest toys.

I'm sure it had been showing on Fox Kids here in the UK... does anyone know what this show was at all?

Hey guys

I'm thinking about upgrading my PC but I really have no idea what to go for or whether the big shiny stuff is compatible. My PC runs fine at the moment and can handle most things at a steady 30+ frames per second on max graphics (aside from GW2 and a few other new games). It's no essential that I upgrade it, but I fancy doing it as a project. Plus, I also use programs like Unity, Unreal Developer Kit, Adobe Photoshop and Sony Vegas, so hopefully more power would make those work better.

So far I have:

4GB RAM
AMD Phenom 9450e Quad Core Processor 2.00GHz
NVidia GeForce GTX 460 SE

I bought a motherboard kit last year and basically built this new PC from scratch (more or less). I also bought the Nvidia graphics card last year as well as Nvidia 3D Vision for an awesome gaming experience (whenever I feel like it).

I'm fairly sure the first thing I need to upgrade is my processor, although I don't know what's compatible and what isn't. I don't want to spend £200 on a processor that isn't going to fit! I know you need to know the motherboard set-up, although I'm not really sure how to check that.

So my two questions are:
What should I upgrade (and to what)?
And, how do you know if it's compatible? I.E DDR2 or DDR3 RAM, the processor, etc. I know that the graphics card needs to be PCI Express 2.0 or something along those lines.
