[fortchipo]

Is there a pink day every year?

[SabreWolf18]

@fortchipo: yes there is! the next one will be mid to end of October 2012.

[RoMFinishTheFight]

More info please make a 2011 UPDATE

[SabreWolf18]

@RoMFinishTheFight: i did at VidTru.com

[pyrofox25]

"this makes me wonder, if this is a lesser wth is a greater gonna look like?" haha true stuff man when I heard him say that the first thing that popped up in my mind was the same exact thing

[arryhertanto]

hi, SabreWolf. Thanks for all the updates you've presented. Much appreciated. Btw, just kinda curious. I am from Singapore. Will GW2 be able to be played in Singapore? I hope this won't be like Vindictus! Thanks ^^

[SabreWolf18]

@arryhertanto: since NCSoft is the publising company and they are based out of Korea, its quite possiable.

[jelle123123]

SILVER WOLF!!!!

[angelson1992]

Hmm. Isn't it about time for them to reveal the next profession of the game. I really hope that it is assassins or mesmers. Actually, mesmers can go, they aren't that much fun to play as and annoying to fight. I just hope it isn't ritualist. But knowing my luck, within the next five days they will mostly likely declare one of those two to be the next profession. Hmm... Oh well, to each their own, right? If I'm lucky they will reveal something totally new like a death knight or something techy.

[seees90]

@angelson1992 some people really like the mesmar it is a very original class but i think the two classes who will be removed are monks and paragons

[SmurfyAssasin]

Norn Ranger =)

[lordchris0223]

Great videos watched them all in just a few hours their very help full.

Also i would like to ask which race in Guild Wars 2 is you're favorite and you think you will play has first?

[SabreWolf18]

@lordchris0223: by far the Norn. Cause they have wolf form, DUH! HAHAHA

[myFREEchannel]

@SabreWolf18 lol ima go raven ftw!!!

[oyeboy94]

I love the epic-ness of the bosses. The best part is they're in the world, so there isn't a need to plunder a dungeon :)

[JamesBrant18]

Great video :)

[Gohansan01]

GW-EN = Gwen?

[SabreWolf18]

@Gohansan01: yes, but it also means the Gaming World Entertainment Network.

[solslasher]

You mispelled shroud at 4:21 as shroad :P

[SabreWolf18]

@solslasher: yes and? There is a reason to my madness.. shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[MinmatarThrasher]

WB Sabre and thanks for the update. :-)

[johnyugi]

so do you know how the party system is going to work?

[mickey007r]

0 7:45

im so glad they show the equipped weps when not used

[SilentPrayingmanTis]

FEAR! the reason i stopped playing PVP in WoW aa man... no melee class will have a chance

[lMaBanana]

@SilentPrayingmanTis this is completely different.

only a 2 sec duration (for pvp), removable, 20 sec recharge, and the feared target runs away from whatever is damaging it

vs. a kd which is 2 sec (or longer) duration, non-removable, probably shorter/same recharge, and makes target sit there and get gang beat by the other team

yea, its gonna kill pvp...

/sarcasm

[dnbRoller]

@SilentPrayingmanTis

The fear in pvp will be very short, so dont panic.

[SilentPrayingmanTis]

cant w8 cant w8 cant w8, just got window 7 for higher graphix. NOW i need GW2 bro!

[crazinaruto1]

wat the hell is the elder looking like ?!

[myFREEchannel]

NOTE THE SCYTHE in the fear skill!!! dhuum/grenth status!! lol

[myFREEchannel]

dude this is my main

lol second will be ranger or ele

well see

[lukeers]

ur a dork...... So that means OFICIALLY DORKS RULE!!!. thx for the updates :P

[farre500]

sooooooooooooo coooooooooooool

[BurrTheKing]

I'm scared of how they are gonna balance all the classes. I don't want this to be like GW1 where melee CAN be powerful but the magic classes will always end up being more powerful as a whole

[Nagrandt]

@BurrTheKing yeah well... then comes an uberpowered sin and rapes us all

[BurrTheKing]

@Nagrandt Wonder if we will have sins cause Cantha is closed off so how would people in Tyria know the arts? (unless theres still Canthan decedents living there)

[SabreWolf18]

@BurrTheKing: yes there are canthan decendents there. Part of the prestory that you make as a human, you choose what "nationality" you are. Either Elonian, Canthan, Krytain or Ascolonian.

[BurrTheKing]

@SabreWolf18 Ah very good than, maybe they did keep sins. I hope the replace Paragons with like a Chronomancer or some form of battle mage

[myFREEchannel]

@BurrTheKing im expecting them to be ina an expansion

as well as rits, who knows

itll give us something to look foward to

and who knows what theyll do differently

[myFREEchannel]

oh and i am so taking advantage of the death mode!!! lol

but that probably means that your a major squishy

[lMaBanana]

@myFREEchannel actually, since lots of your spells steal life, the necro will be one of the hardest classes to kill in the game (source Eric Flannum, read the first answer from interview killtenrats(dot)com/2010/08/27­/guild-wars-2-necromancer-inte­rview/)

[myFREEchannel]

@lMaBanana avtually i looked into it. the death shroud form is its own lifebar and everything and makes gives necros in a way two life bars. they are going to be a heardy class yes. but who knows how itll work.

~ and the life steal skills, for the time being are still to small to make a difference in pvp battle.

[lMaBanana]

@myFREEchannel hehe true, I just wanted to point out that as far as casters go, you probably wont be totally facerolled by spikes.. at least not as bad as elementalists for example >.>

[myFREEchannel]

@lMaBanana agreed!

but then again, elementalist look like they have some protection now

in otherwords

defensive combat skills, if used correctly

[Tyotyo999]

@BurrTheKing

Either what wolf said or, they might make expansions for cantha and elona. :D

[TheDorkSide777]

HAHAHA, you didn't have to cut 3 minutes! The new Youtube limit is 15 minutes, remember? :D

[SabreWolf18]

@TheDorkSide777: ummmmmm, no?  crap....

[TheDorkSide777]

Marks are ground-targeted Sabre. Perhaps you should put that in an annotation.

[Jostedalsosten]

@SabreWolf18 Fear is in fact a condition, not a skill type. You'd want to make one of them little red boxes in the video to point this out.

[SabreWolf18]

@Jostedalsosten: it was listed under skill types on the site, so at the time, thats what i called it. This we recorded 4 days ago.

[Jostedalsosten]

@SabreWolf18 Sure, I didn't mean to bash you or anything, I just wanted to point that out so that you could correct it.

"Fear—Necromancers use a condition not available to any other profession: fear."

This is from the Guild Wars 2 webpage.

[TheMourningPalace]

is it possible to have only one name, or do u need to have 2 names like in gw1?

[Jostedalsosten]

@TheMourningPalace You can have one name, two names, three names, whatever as long as it's not longer than 19 characters.

[Atomicpanzy]

If these game clips are actually what the game is like my computer is screwed!

Anyways good work with the vids Saber!

[simplygarnett]

subbed for good info thx, cant wait for gw2

[Nautification]

@3:23, Go Charr! Use Absorb! :P.

Anyways, I really like what you're doing here Sabre :).

The Necro looks so awesome, however I wont be my main :P. Ranger <3

And you forgot to mention that there is no auto attack. :)

[SabreWolf18]

@Nautification: I ran out of time. I had a list of other notes and graphic and everything... but as you can tell at the end... I had to cut 3 minutes out of the video...

[Bazompora]

@Nautification

Really? There's no way to cause your character persuing & pummeling a target with a single command?

[Tryillionn]

YAY a new video

[EsquelitoChaos]

i was very dissapointed with the demo of gw2, it played like a thumbed down f2play mmo. just running around spamming skills. the demo required no skill at all. if you walked backwards and just keep pressing skill number1 you could defeat everything. also the events are nothing more than going to a yellow circle and grinding mobs with other players till the bar fills up. i hope arenanet comes up with something better otherwise i am going to look for a new mmo.

[GuitarzLover]

@EsquelitoChaos First, the demo was easier to let the noobs play the game and enjoy it. Second, you are talking about the little events. The ''quest like'' events. There will be a lot of bigger events full of epicness. :D

[EsquelitoChaos]

@GuitarzLover i hope so, but just the overall feel including controsl felt a little generic to me. i will try to play any other demo's they release but they have to fix the terrible AA and when there are alot of players they need to thumb down the amount of skills effects. when i was attacking the boss it was 1 big colorful paradise.

[RemusRomulas]

@EsquelitoChaos then just dont play it lol but im buying it no matter what..

[BillRoyMcBill]

thanks for the info. = )

[ElexAio]

There is a party system. It wasn't in place, according to Arenanet, at gamescon. It's definately not as important as in GW1, and you're right about scaling, but there IS a party system. (I assume usable in all pve but really only specifically important in dungeons, ect.)

[SabreWolf18]

@ElexAio: Ya i know... I said it wrong. What I ment to say is that you "dont NEED a party to join an event". Which is what I wrote, but didn't actually say... blah...

Side note... I was editing this video from 1am to 5am this morning...

[ElexAio]

@SabreWolf18 Alright. Thanks SabreWolf... I can say I really appreciate the videos you make. Though I mostly keep up to date with the new info, a recap is always great and helps us from missing bits.

[krustypinoy]

Awesome, thnx for the heaps of info your videos consistently deliver me :) Love the new necro playing style btw, and the animations are the icing on the cake!

[KCQUIPOR]

nice :D
