Guild Wars 2

[dom]

Oh my gosh that is so awesome. Great find ExSoldier. I love this game, I'll buy the collector's edition immediately when it comes out Except if you can't buy it at launch
Btw, that ice bow skill reminds me a lot of Ashe in LoL... just saying xD

That slut

I favorited literally like 95% of the PAX East Gameplay videos. Some of them are low quality but got a couple 720p HD with long gameplay that showcase a lot of the new builds like Staff Necromancer, Aeromancer, Greatsword Warriors,etc. I'll post some later if I don't get lazy.

Greatsword warrior, right Farking now, please.

[Miguez]

I'm so pumped for this game.

As soon as it comes out me and most of my mates are buying it and partying it up

How much info is there about the party system?

Greatsword warrior, right Farking now, please.

Starts with some Longbow gameplay and switches to Greatsword(starts at 2:44 but he alternates between both weapon constantly)

Love the skill that makes him slash his sword in a "8" motion, Burst Skills . Whirlwind is also pretty sick

I'm not too sure about your question because a party is a...party? Unlike some MMOs, all party members can get loot. Same for crafting sources. Let's take mining for an example. If your party sees a "Gold node", everyone will be able to mine it out.

What's really great is that they encourage you to socialize with the rest. You don't need to join someones party to take part of an Event, you'll get credited for simply taking part of it.


I know that the peeps at GW2Guru really like this video as it showcase 15 mins of pure Elementalist gameplay. Fire Staff/Dagger + Water Staff/Dagger + Air Staff/Dagger. Plus the player actually uses the "Switch Attunements" effects.

[Miguez]

Yeah I guess I'll have to wait to get some more info on that.

Any chance of Guild Wars 2 going international, or it's just going to be for NA and Europe?

Thanks in advance for your reply

GuildWars™ was international so it's fair to assume it'll be the same for the sequel.

[MrJoey]

Especially since some of the biggest guilds/best players of Guild Wars were from Korea.

You mean #4, the #3 is the one with the ugly chick.

I want guild wars 2 now, don't have much to play = /.

[Skyve]

Time actually goes fast when you stop "caring" too much. I just play other games to keep me busy

Meh I smell the 7th Profession release by the end of the month anyways.

[Swindler]

I still want that Commander profession to be true.

I bet when the game is released sro fanboys will QQ that the graphics are too cartoony.

Are they? They're colourful if anything.

Doesn't matter, they'll miss out on something Sure everyone says that about upcoming games but I'm certain this is going to be a solid game.

[Love]

<--- Impressed.

What do you count in as "cartoony"?
When i think about cartoony graphics i think about exaggerating specific areas of your design and stylising it.
To be honest i haven't watched that much GW2 footage because no game can reach the standart i picture in my mind and therefore i don't want to build up high expectations, but from what i've seen so far everything seems to be quite solid, from the realistic anatomy to the fantasy driven but still quite believable environments.
I, too think that the graphic style is colourful if anything and to be honest i'm relieved that MMORPGs are colorful and havent found the mystical "gritty grey brown to much bloom"-land yet.

And on a side note, all people who are playing silkroad and are QQing about graphics are the douchebags that i don't want to have around and ruin my fun playing awesome games.

PS: I know you aren't having this opinion yourself but i needed to start somewhere.

That's because kids think shiny graphics with too much flare are "Good" and are too ignorant to realize WoW has great Graphics, they just suck at analyzing anything that doesn't have a shiny texture slapped onto it. I thought the same thing when I seen videos, but in game is a whole different story.

[MrJoey]

After playing games for years with shitty onboard graphics, I honestly don't give a shit about the graphics unless they're REALLY bad. People need to learn to judge more by the actual game play than graphics.

Next class to be revealed this month (officialy confirmed)
