PSA: PS3 users reporting 'bricked' systems after 4.45 firmware update

Queue no more thanks to Guild Wars 2's overflow servers
Feb 21st 2012 6:40PM (Massively)They have a character server, you select it,when you login, the server pulls all your data from the character server, and saves all data to that server.
Think of it like a single player game. You have a save file thats independent of the game. You can take that save file, put it in a different install, and you will go back to where you were as if nothing changed.
Imagine the character server storing all your save files. And the server is just a game install that loads it up.
Thats why you can freely move servers and be in a guild on each server, and everytime you switch you are still in that guild. Since your guild membership is server independent too. (you might not be able to talk or show up online on a guild on another server, but you arent removed from it, just offfline)
They just took advantage of this system to create temporary overflow servers where you get loaded into a world that is not a primary world, to let you play while you wait to get into your world.

Nov 21st 2011 3:55PM (Massively)When I finally came back a few months ago to do 30/50 HoM for GW2, I went back to Pre and Post searing GW and the nostalgia hit hard, memories of my early years in GW. IT was quite nice.
Now I am done with GW, have my 30/50 and just anxiously waiting to make my Necromancer in GW2.

Nov 10th 2011 12:49AM (Joystiq)It links with your Xbox version and you can transfer sentients between the 2 and level them on the respective devices. It is pretty cool.
I got both and its fun playing it on the xbox, then syncing over to the WP7 version and playing a different game on my WP7 with the same sentient.
