videos like this have made me notice how brainwashed we are, almost ALL of the videos of GW on youtube, you see people do the stop, stand in place, THEN cast a skill, when now you can cast almost all of your spells on the move, just shows how conditioned we are to the norm
I went to school, and I'm one of those ppl who is a friend w/ everybody, talkin about this game. Then my black friend comes up and says ha nerds why do u want to be a ranger and not go for a elimantalist. (EVERYONE IN SHOCK)
everytime i watch this video i always have to do a double take just to check if it's the game actually playing off my pc. the graphics and aesthetics are really impressive at 1080p
Well i don't see GW 2 and Tera competing against each other since their both different. One is B2P and other is P2P (unless they changed the payment method). As for gameplay it all depends on people's choices, i like KR games and i plan to try out Tera but i also like GW 2 because it's story, interesting combat, cross combo, holy trinity and much more.
Actually makes some sense, fire but in a form of heat that can still interact with water. The ball of fire she shot when underwater is actually lava, as notice the lava started to form into a black rock creating an explosion when timer is up.
@hilletehnoob It makes as much sense as lava that still tumbles down the ocean floor after it seeps out of an underwater volcano... So yes, it can make sense. The power of fire that is used underwater was clearly amplified so it can be of use for lava balls, boiling, etc.
This game play didn't look too bad. I play Korean Retail Tera, and it's game play and graphics are amazing. Fast, skill-based action. GW2 doesn't look as fun, but it is far from out yet so it's hard to pick a winner yet. I'm glad that the GW2 doesn't look like a snooze fest like SWTOR does, but I think GW2 is going to be hard pressed to beat Tera's game-play.
It's great to see MMO's moving away from the wow-like button mashing and heading toward active combat. MMO's future looks good. :)
@MeetTheCryptid i play WoW... so what dude? just because WoW has a thing the other games gotta have it too? you guys make me sick, it's true, WoW can be the most played online game and I love WoW, but each game has it own races, classes combinations, skills, etc. just because in WoW the paladin can bubble and here a elementalist can bubble you are going mad?
But just look up bubbling in general, it's in other games too. In fact, watch the video, watch how them monsters don't even touch that elementalist, it bubbles then heals. Check out 0:56 on the video, you'll understand my point.
I decided to quit playing Guild Wars and to give all my items away. To keep it fair for everyone I decided to play a little game and the 3 winners will get a part of my money.
I'm in one of the rooms of a chatroom right now, the first 3 person that finds me (Flierefluiwter) in one of the rooms of the chatroom and post their IGN will get a part of my money and stuff...

@g0kuenuan Really? Lol, I like the UI. It's simple. Reminds me of clean modernistic addons for some other gfames, but without the shitty symbols or text that those addons had.
It was really appealing for me. Reminded me of diablo.
they should release the beta already just make it so that you can only stay in the starting zones for now so we can stop bitching about playing it. holy shit this game is just too awesome....
@ThiVasss Yes you can. However unless you're going into a dungeon, you won't need to form a party considering people can help one another in events by just fighting together. And everyone involved would get the appropriate rewards based on participation so there isn't such a thing as loot stealing with or without a party.
This just looks amazing. All the visual things that happen when she uses a skill, just awesome. Making the water boil is so cool. I cant wait to play it
Damn that looks so good,the combat really give you the feeling of hitting really hard and the underwater combat also fantastic! take my money i want this game!
@Psykoged As far as I know, they're still tweaking the amount of usage each skill has for energy. This is just a demo though so don't think about it too much. It's not what the final product will be.
@Mandrill lol Incase you haven't noticed, they're not flares of fire underwater. They are lava balls, and lava can exist underwater for awhile as it's freakishly hot. In this game however, they made it realistic where the lava balls cool down to a point of exploding. So don't worry, the game still makes things realistic.
@RaikouTatsu lol Realistic in terms of lava being underwater. Fantasy still dominates the rules of the game, but pure flares of fire is far too silly for underwater. Which luckily isn't the case, as it's lava balls instead.
@YamiPoyo They're lava balls. In case you didn't notice, lava can exist and last underwater a good long time. In this game however, they made that lava balls explode. So they're not flares of fire being thrown around like in the videos of showing above surface combat, they're not flares and they're hot enough to last awhile.
This video is epic. 9 out of 10 gameplay videos seem like they have a 2 year old at the keyboard, glad someone actually figured out how to play this game.
@handbananasplit If you want to see another gameplay video that has a player actually knowing what to do in combat, check out this one I found:
/watch?v=IVFAZ7hRlJs
It shows a male elementalist playing rather well even though the guy apologized in his video description for playing badly. Lol But he didn't play badly at all.
@MrEspirion I know. lol Don't worry, things will be balanced in this game as well. What we see in demos are not precisely what we'll be seeing in the final version.
@TesGon Yep, just like the original GW games they have promised that the new game is also a one time purchase. As it's one of ArenaNet's main philosophies that a player should never have to buy a game they already bought.
OK OK. I know A-Net keeps preaching this "It's finished when it's finished" policy, and that's fine and all. But.... seriously... LOOK AT THIS, IT HAS TO BE CLOSE TO A FINAL PRODUCT!!!! I have a feeling we won't have to wait much longer.
@SamMonela It's funny when there's things like that, don't you think? When there's over twenty-four thousand views and yet there's one person that would dislike the video enough to actually bother clicking dislike. Lol
@Crossbow1701 Think of it like this: Unlike fire usage on land where you just throw flares through the air, you instead throw lava balls underwater. So think of it as a stronger form of fire magic when underwater. It's possible to do fire magic underwater if the elementalist simply boosts the power of the magic to be hot enough like lava for instance. And in the case with the lava balls, they only last until the point of explosion.
They also had a skill for heating up the water; makes sense.
@Crossbow1701 BTW, those Magma fire orb thing you seen?. It actually real and how they get it from, not sure possibly from Hawaii country, if you go to Hawaii that place, go underwater or some swimming place. You will start to see that ball you seen in this video, It is actually fact not a lie anyway.
Also, it make sense, ofc in water instead using fire, you can start boiling water like how you boil water to 100*C anyway.
@ilove305mmm The amazing thing is that they made usage of fire magic as possible underwater with the usage of lava balls instead of the usual flare we throw around in the air. At least lava balls would last longer until they explode. xP This is all like saying the elementalist boosts power of fire magic just to make use of it underwater. :]
Looks amazing but I'm still worried about the skill recharge times. Unless you're constantly swapping attunements or weapons you don't have much available to you.
@DHDirectX It would really be suckish if you just had a variety of skills available more often to just make things easier. Gw1 had a number of skills that had long recharge, exact activating times, with varying effects and we did alright then.
I think people are seriously underestimating Gw2's combat mechanics due to past games that just let you go all out. o_O I hope we're not that crippled.
So the dagger is now the weapon for short range? That means that the scepter is nor for medium range. The range of the dagger skills are REALLY short, to me it's better that way :P.
So instead of fireballs in the water, you boil the water to high temperatures and deal damage that way? OMG, I want this NOW!! I can almost hear the fat lady singing for most MMOs today
Oh wow, this is a pretty awesome vid- thanks for the upload. Even just being able to hear the sounds the game makes is a huge difference. Incredible, thank you!
@ImperfectBlock Hey it's you. :D The guy that I'm borrowing a vid from for my Gw2 info playlist. xD Hope it doesn't bug as I'm not even claiming the vids as my own. :P
@NecroEugene Oh well yeah that's been done before. I was more surprised by the under water steam effect and the fiery chains. I never saw those before.
@NecroEugene None that I know of. lol I'm just saying that I've seen the three strikes of flames before in a different demo of Gw2.
I'm just caught off guard with the show of new skills like the chains. I didn't think that fire would add much in terms of support, much less of any help underwater. But this is a purely fantasy game so I'm glad and ok with it. :]
@Dragonshadow123 It's not even in beta yet, and they've mentioned that they change things in the game constantly, for example the Necromancer has been revamped 30% or more since it was first playable. So I imagine graphics are part of the changes. The final product should be amazing.
@Decimus78 Oh wow!! ok I see I see. I also realise something, the number 4 it should be at utility skills, not at weapon main slot skills and also I realise the dagger they switch?. Did they change some of the few skills, like number 5, I remember back then it din't use and also number 3 it has explosion, while running forward and then it bomb out weird!.
@Dragonshadow123 This is myself (Amira/Izelia of Curse), playing during the press day this past Thursday. It was more fun than I can really explain xD
@GW2Guru Oh ok, Can you inbox me how it look like, or do you have anything record footage pls inbox me and explain too. Ya all on press day Thursday ty!
@GW2Guru ArenaNet mentioned that they redid the Elementalist's Weapon Skills after PAX, so I guess they must've changed Energy Shield from an Utility skill to a Weapon skill.
I wonder what changes they are making to Necromancer as they said they were changing some of their skills too.
@andrea4009 it looks different from the energy shield. More ... ragged. They changed a number of Skills for Dagger/Dagger, it seems. I think they did say that the Elementalist was also being revised ...
@LeonZapphire Yes there is a lot of new and revamped ele skills. ;) The fire breathing was not there, the bubble was not there. The charge skill have an aoe now, etc.
@PhilGerb93 No the fire breathing was there. lol If you look on my channel, the video I have on autoplay from last year actually had someone using that skill on the Broodmother boss.
@LeonZapphire No, not in the dagger skills. The first skill is still there (but with less range), the second skill was not the breathing one but a skill to retreat with a line of fire. The 4th skill we see in this video was the third skill of the main dagger. The 2 skills of the off-hand dagger are now completely new.
@PhilGerb93 I don't think you got what I meant. I'm talking about the Gamescom Queensdale video on my channel. It shows a different player at some point of the video using the fire breathing skill on the Broodmother boss. Not the character the dev is playing as, but rather that someone else used fire breathing on that video that was from nearly a year ago. That's the only skill I see that isn't new.
@LeonZapphire I don't think you know this game very well. A lot of players have the same skills just not used the same way, I know there is another profession (or maybe it's the elementalist) who can use this skill (even the guardian can, but the fire is blue), but it's the first time an elementalist with daggers can. And there is not a lot of new skills, they just switched them from one weapon to another. There is some upgraded weapons too. The 5th skill is a new one.
@PhilGerb93 .... Dude I start to wonder if you're even replying to the right person. All I said was that the video on my channel shows an elementalist on the side (that wasn't the player we see throughout the video) using a breathing fire skill (red fire at 5:55) towards the Broodmother boss. Which is clearly shown on the video.
I know every detail about this game. Have studied every interview, official blog, magazine article, videos, and even made a compilation playlist on my channel.
@Woth3n What do you mean? She is using daggers, and the skills for the daggers are different and new. I think you misunderstood the conversation and you are probably talking about the underwater combat.
@Woth3n The conversation PhilGerb93 was carrying on with me was nothing about a "new" set of skills because of switching weps. He was talking about the new changes they made for the skills for that weapon set since the original skills we saw for the wep combination, while I on the other hand was talking about something else entirely different. lol
i think that the water could look better where it meets the shore. it doesn't seem very natrual to me, and it has a kinda edgy look. or is it just the video?
i don't like the sound of flame breath or whatever hitting enemies, it doesnt really match at all.
hopefully it will be changed since arena net knows what theyre doing

Looks amazing but I'm still worried about the skill recharge times. Unless you're constantly swapping attunements or weapons you don't have much available to you.
DHDirectX 8 months ago
@DHDirectX That's kinda the point [i think.]
Swapping between your weapon sets/attunements means you're using a huge variety of skills. And being really damn powerful on the battlefield.
ELREndLondonRule 8 months ago
@DHDirectX It would really be suckish if you just had a variety of skills available more often to just make things easier. Gw1 had a number of skills that had long recharge, exact activating times, with varying effects and we did alright then.
I think people are seriously underestimating Gw2's combat mechanics due to past games that just let you go all out. o_O I hope we're not that crippled.

@Akrepon This is one with an ele that I think you'll appreciate:

As the player isn't bad at all unlike most of the other player gameplays.

So the dagger is now the weapon for short range? That means that the scepter is nor for medium range. The range of the dagger skills are REALLY short, to me it's better that way :P.

So instead of fireballs in the water, you boil the water to high temperatures and deal damage that way? OMG, I want this NOW!! I can almost hear the fat lady singing for most MMOs today

@NecroEugene Looked more like a lava ball. Very unlike the ordinary flames that fly out in the air.
LeonZapphire 8 months ago
@LeonZapphire true it does look more a of BALL then a flaming mass but with the video i jsut cant tell its badass i like it
NecroEugene 8 months ago
@LeonZapphire i also noticed the fire thing where it shoots 3 shots does go but so far and it goes out
NecroEugene 8 months ago
@NecroEugene Oh well yeah that's been done before. I was more surprised by the under water steam effect and the fiery chains. I never saw those before.
LeonZapphire 8 months ago
@LeonZapphire wat game has had some underwater combat like that?? ya the steam and boiling armor is badass
NecroEugene 8 months ago
@NecroEugene None that I know of. lol I'm just saying that I've seen the three strikes of flames before in a different demo of Gw2.
I'm just caught off guard with the show of new skills like the chains. I didn't think that fire would add much in terms of support, much less of any help underwater. But this is a purely fantasy game so I'm glad and ok with it. :]

Also did they change the graphic?. It look so awesome than the previous, as PAX east and last year gamescom.
Dragonshadow123 8 months ago
@Dragonshadow123 They at least changed some fire effects. The firewall for example looks much better.
Shyanmar 8 months ago
@Dragonshadow123 It's not even in beta yet, and they've mentioned that they change things in the game constantly, for example the Necromancer has been revamped 30% or more since it was first playable. So I imagine graphics are part of the changes. The final product should be amazing.
Decimus78 8 months ago
@Decimus78 Oh wow!! ok I see I see. I also realise something, the number 4 it should be at utility skills, not at weapon main slot skills and also I realise the dagger they switch?. Did they change some of the few skills, like number 5, I remember back then it din't use and also number 3 it has explosion, while running forward and then it bomb out weird!.
Dragonshadow123 8 months ago
GW2Guru, where do you find all this without you I wouldn't lef to see this footage. I bet it not PAX East 2011??

how can you have a utility skill (energy shield) in the slot 4? :o
andrea4009 8 months ago 4
@andrea4009 I was surprised too, but it was there by default!
GW2Guru 8 months ago
@GW2Guru ArenaNet mentioned that they redid the Elementalist's Weapon Skills after PAX, so I guess they must've changed Energy Shield from an Utility skill to a Weapon skill.
I wonder what changes they are making to Necromancer as they said they were changing some of their skills too.
kohcayne 8 months ago
@andrea4009 it looks different from the energy shield. More ... ragged. They changed a number of Skills for Dagger/Dagger, it seems. I think they did say that the Elementalist was also being revised ...

It's not utility it's offand dagger/fire.
Ziiiv 8 months ago
@Ziiiv originally it was a utility skill! :P
andrea4009 8 months ago
@andrea4009 They reworked all of the elementalists abilities, they probably moved it from utility to an offhand ability.

15Lanzo15 8 months ago
@15Lanzo15 Nah I saw the fire breathing in a demo last year, but for some reason not very many people actually used it.
LeonZapphire 8 months ago
@LeonZapphire Yes there is a lot of new and revamped ele skills. ;) The fire breathing was not there, the bubble was not there. The charge skill have an aoe now, etc.
PhilGerb93 8 months ago
@PhilGerb93 No the fire breathing was there. lol If you look on my channel, the video I have on autoplay from last year actually had someone using that skill on the Broodmother boss.
LeonZapphire 8 months ago
@LeonZapphire No, not in the dagger skills. The first skill is still there (but with less range), the second skill was not the breathing one but a skill to retreat with a line of fire. The 4th skill we see in this video was the third skill of the main dagger. The 2 skills of the off-hand dagger are now completely new.
PhilGerb93 8 months ago
@PhilGerb93 I don't think you got what I meant. I'm talking about the Gamescom Queensdale video on my channel. It shows a different player at some point of the video using the fire breathing skill on the Broodmother boss. Not the character the dev is playing as, but rather that someone else used fire breathing on that video that was from nearly a year ago. That's the only skill I see that isn't new.
LeonZapphire 8 months ago
@LeonZapphire I don't think you know this game very well. A lot of players have the same skills just not used the same way, I know there is another profession (or maybe it's the elementalist) who can use this skill (even the guardian can, but the fire is blue), but it's the first time an elementalist with daggers can. And there is not a lot of new skills, they just switched them from one weapon to another. There is some upgraded weapons too. The 5th skill is a new one.
PhilGerb93 8 months ago
@PhilGerb93 .... Dude I start to wonder if you're even replying to the right person. All I said was that the video on my channel shows an elementalist on the side (that wasn't the player we see throughout the video) using a breathing fire skill (red fire at 5:55) towards the Broodmother boss. Which is clearly shown on the video.
I know every detail about this game. Have studied every interview, official blog, magazine article, videos, and even made a compilation playlist on my channel.
LeonZapphire 8 months ago
@LeonZapphire Yeah we were not talking about the same thing, you were talkinga bout the game overall and I was talking about the daggers skills lol.
PhilGerb93 8 months ago
@PhilGerb93 Silly goose. xP lol
LeonZapphire 8 months ago
@PhilGerb93
The skills are "new" because she is using a weapon set different from what we've seen before
Woth3n 8 months ago
@Woth3n What do you mean? She is using daggers, and the skills for the daggers are different and new. I think you misunderstood the conversation and you are probably talking about the underwater combat.
PhilGerb93 8 months ago
@Woth3n The conversation PhilGerb93 was carrying on with me was nothing about a "new" set of skills because of switching weps. He was talking about the new changes they made for the skills for that weapon set since the original skills we saw for the wep combination, while I on the other hand was talking about something else entirely different. lol
LeonZapphire 8 months ago
Now THAT'S some excellent quality. Thanks for following my advice. Keep it up!
