Guild Wars 2 Update 04-29-2010

[donnakarsin]

i play GW for 3 reasons,it has two professions per character

it cost nothing to play it

and

it doesnt eat up to much of my download limit like other games do

now if fans cant have a secondary do they really think everyone will switch ? maybe at 1st to try it or see whats its like but id bet alot go back to the 1st GW after trying it

[SabreWolf18]

@donnakarsin: well, the secondary is replaced you could say byt the race. Because the races carry their own skills that can be used on your charactor. The original Guild Wars game (Proph) had 30 combos of professions. GW2 will have 40 different combos of race/prof. Plus you will have the additional traits to define your charactor beyond those combos. So in essence, you will have more diversity in GW2 then in GW1.

Oh, and still cost nothing to play. Hope this helps.

[CrackHamsters]

who gets guns in the game hunters? or will there be a class for it????

[SabreWolf18]

@CrackHamsters: so far, only the Warrior has gotten the Rifle. There are still 4 more professions and pistols are still there as an optional weapon.

[bigblood3]

They made claims that they're going to take the original guild wars and make it better. They claimed to know what the players wanted. Let me be the one to say, i'm not impressed! I know for a fact that no one who has ever played guild wars wanted the second profession nerfed. The original GW fan base is going to be disappointed. NcSoft needs to get their act together. Give the loyal fans what they want! Dont scrap the things that make the game great to save time. They had 3 years!

[jaybe2k37]

only 3 confirmed but they have hinted about Necromancer in the GW first book "Ghosts of Ascalon"

[ravingjunkey]

ONLY 3 PROFESSIONS? ;/

[SabreWolf18]

@ravingjunkey: we only know of 3.  There will be 8 total.

[WarLordTR7]

@ravingjunkey there are 5proffesions now but later 8professions

[gondorious]

I find it dissapointing that there are only 3 skill slots that you can make yourself unique with

[donnakarsin]

What I love most. About guild wars 1 is that you DO have the secondary profession no other game does it that's why I love playing gw because you get to choose a secondary

I'm not clear on what the racial skills are for the gw races but I'd like to know more about those if possible thanks

[SabreWolf18]

@donnakarsin: Basicully its three things.

1) By going racial for the "secondary profession", the factors of secondary skills is lowered and locked to the race you make.

2) The number of skills you can use on your bar is limited, so your "primary profession" controls the main base of the skills.

3) Blocks the ability for primary professions to do a better job of the secondary's skills then the primary profession of the same skills. Like Mesmer/Ele Fast Casting Ele only Spells.

Scantily clad women FTW!

Huge fan of GW1,been playing for 3 n a half years,cant wait for GW2

Found your vids on GW2 guru :P

[fantasyevo]

Tell me i can actually rearrange this skill bar... cuz they can't make me have the first 5 skill are

[SabreWolf18]

@fantasyevo: since you could do it in GW1, I would like to assume you can in GW2. Because I myself will be doing some remapping, since my 1,2,3,4 is 1,4,7,8 on the number pad in GW1.

[SabreWolf18]

@SabreWolf18: Also... havn't figured out where the heal slot wll go yet... probably the "+" on the num pad for the "Medic Cross" HAHAHAHA

[GunnGuardian]

I'm glad Guild Wars 2 seems to be continuing it's time honored tradition of having hot scantly cad female elementalists

[AngelWJedi]

[KungJoar]

[SabreWolf18]

Your welcome all... and it appears that there will be new info daily... so I will try to do a video daily. I will go over today's content about Weapons, More Weapons, and Elite skills in the next video. Probably wont be online till early tomarrow morning (like 6am) after i get out of work.

[susheedude]

Thanks! :D Great video.

[pivotue]

i was wondering why it wasnt telling me when you made a new video but it turns out that it removed all my subscriptions when youtube made the new layout

[GWFan81]

ty for putting up this vid man

[Musicon14]

Thanks for the update Sabre! Looking forward to all the new content down the line. GW@ is looking better already :)

[Kolp44]

Love the update Sabre, thank you!

[rutgerm1993]

very useful!

[magicalmike2]

Oh I didn't know there was any info about skillbars yet... That dedicated healing slot looks promising to the whole being able to solo, thing.

[BillRoyMcBill]

nice that it won't be exactly the same as the origional...that will keep it so bolth games will stay good and not sabatage eachother.

[Segmeta]

No second class? (Y) 10 skill bar? (Y) i love it :D

[SamsButterscotch]

I'm actually very interested regarding the warrior, since they kinda hinted out that there will be 2handed swords in gw2, which is what I've always wanted. So I'm either gonna roll a human elementalist (male), or, if I'll be able to have 2handed swords, I'll definitely go with a human (or maybe norn) warrior.

[SamsButterscotch]

@SamsButterscotch

Also I'm really ok with the no 2nd class, it'll make things much more interesting, making players much more dependent one on another imo.

[FluggleBubble]

nice to see a video of the updates. good idea :D

[tapio2003]

Interesting. Keep us updated.
