@megamedamonZ There will be strategy, although this vid does a poor job of showing it as they wanted to show the immediate action of a low level dungeon rather than the complexities of others. Which for once was a poor choice on their part.
I'm just guessing but the ghost that have the pink shields and what looks like throwing some sort of pink long range dagger attack, might be the last profession, Mesmer............
@IudiciumTempus ArenaNet hasn't announced a release date yet. They've only said beta this year, and the release date will depend on the feedback they get in beta. Don't trust any release dates you hear from sources other than the ArenaNet website. People and websites have been announcing false dates for over 2 years now...
@stonedinosaur oh really? put this on youtube '' Guild Wars 2: In-Depth Interview with Martin Kerstein - gamescom 2011'' by a developer. you fucking ignorant
@IudiciumTempus Did you actually watch the video? He gave no information, and nothing has been made official. He just smiled. Yes, you can suppose that his silence was answering their questions, but that's ridiculous. You don't even know if those are the same questions they actually asked him either; they could have easily asked him something even more ridiculous and edited the questions to make it appear that he was giving answering by refusing to say "yes" or "no". That video says nothing.

I must not be a fantasy MMO fan. To me, this, the cutting edge in MMO graphics, looks like a bunch of models running through jerky animations without interacting with each other, while OTT magical effects fly everywhere. Looks nothing like fantasy combat 'should' look in my head.
I guess the technology for dynamic interaction between the character models isn't there yet.
@IncredibleGoliath the combat system doesnt link up without interacting for a reason. its half skill based and half rpg based. if you arent close enough or dodge an attack you wont get hit. in essence if it looks like they arent even hitting eachother, then they really arent doing damage in this game.
@VioletZer0 This game is no where even close to being a WoW clone. If you actually take the time to research the differences in game mechanics, UI and even the business model of ANet your assumption of this being a WoW clone is totally false.
@VioletZer0 I think you're blind. Most of these characters are moving, and not standing still. Swatting each other? That happens in all MMO's. If you don't like that, then don't watch these videos. Tssh.
@VioletZer0 Well the demo player might be not good enough to use dodge and moving to avoid damage, or switch position to change the target of mobs. That doesn't mean player can only stand still hitting or being hit in game. BTW, what version of Wow can let u stand still in raid? Almost every boss has AoE or some skill forcing u to move.
Seeing as there's a fully implemented dodge feature, leap attacks and no auto attacking, there will be a lot of combat movement during the game. TotalBiscuit, who is renowned for hating hotkey MMO's said that this is the game he is most looking forward to. Coming from a guy who likes to pick holes in things, thats high praise.
I hope they announce Dates at GamesCon! Its going to be so hard to make your first character! What Race?!/ What Class!?!? Im leaning Charr Warrior? Slyvari Necro?! IDK!!!!
I don't see a lot of dodging going on~ they just stand there and whack away... and things are homing in on them. I thought the devs were talking about "dynamic combat"?
@AkavariGamingWW thats just what ign says. They actually have no clue if thats the release date (which its not). i would guess it will be released earliest in end of december or early 2012
@fiiliop (Speculating) I've went through everything I can find about GW2 several times, just like many. However, I'd say that the release date will be around spring 2012. December if we're REALLY lucky, but that won't happend.
@Matasikox totally man. Im looking forward so much, and I am on the last year of school, so its good that the game will launch only next year, since my grades arent so good haha
@Matasikox in november - december there will be a beta then aftter betas closed they annoucned probally early 2012 i cant wait if u want to come with me ima freeze my self in alaska :D
actually... as a long time gw1 player (6 years, all campaigns, proffesions, ect.) I find this video to look exactly like a GW1 dungeon.... I dont understand. these textures are bland and dark, and there are no interesting or unique set pieces. Not to mention stuff like that hunk of grass floating in the air at 3:06. are you guys being paid to say this looks good?
@eikumbokum Honestly this is the only bad video we've seen thus far about the game. But I have it on my playlist for Gw2 info considering it's the only one inside a dungeon.
Although there's still hope for Gw2's dungeons considering magazine articles have described the dungeons in greater detail than this video ever shown, and it has been said that this video had cut out most of the things seen and done in the dungeon.
@eikumbokum Dude 1st this is pre alpha release, 2nd idk what your looking @ but in full HD it looks great, 3rd characters are probably all wearing basic armor wtf do you want its a demo? If I'm not mistaken that "hunk of grass floating in the air" is an animation of a mesmer skill being used by a ghost. I've been playing GW since beta release this looks great to me, but if you want to judge the game why not wait until at least beta & you can see it on your own computer then you can complain.
I wonder what the specs for this game are going to be because I'll be getting a new laptop for college, I was looking at something like a MSI GT780R, which I'm pretty sure would be able to do it...
@swifty7051 Well there's a lot of demo videos out already that I think will help you determine that. If you want to see more gameplay, you can check out my channel's Gw2 Info playlist. There's even a couple videos I found with underwater combat that I think you'll find interesting. :]
@PastafarianHunter The demo computers use GTX 295s, which are pretty old cards (released in 2009), and they were running at 1080p on 21.5" monitors. The game is extremely well optimized (notice that the background graphics look like concept art). I have a photo the demo station specs; PM me if you want a link to it.
the use of auspicious camera angles instead of a view from the player often obscures whats really going on. it would have been better to capture this from the view of each participant including the HUD.
@Raikusxox Yes but the leveling curve caps when leveling starts to take around an hour and a half at max. So it's likely he'll be far ahead of us for awhile. lol
@saitaro I don't know if the game will be able to work with dx11. I know that they've mentioned dx10 is optional for better visuals but I don't know how much more they allowed other than that.
@LeonZapphire Yeah I've heard about it. The game is built using the updated gw1 engine. Anyway, with tesselation and stuff gw2 would look bloody awesome. It looks awesome now, to my eye. But not bloody:P I think they'll add dx11, just because it exists. C'mon, even WoW got the technology!
im taking 2 weeks off from work along with a buddy of mine to play this thing as it comes out ... ill be lvl 40 when u guys hit lvl 10 LOL ... peace ...
Arena net , go through each part of the game so passoinately, makes me wish i worked there, i'de be soo into it, i'de work all night man....the dungeons, the quests, the armor, the weapons, the characters, the story , the world, the pvp, each part of pvp, if any company does what they do we'd have a master piece each and everytime. i'm gonna buy each expansion for this game, just to support Anet, even if i stop playing this game... thats my word.
@outlawkelb You could start with getting the Platinum Edition of the original Guild Wars. lol It includes the first game known as "Prophecies" and its expansion known as Eye of the North. Both of which will get you aquainted with the lore of Tyria in Gw2 and of the playable races.
Although I should warn that the first Gw games were never called "mmo"s to begin with. They're more like CORPGs (Competitive Online Role Playing Games). But it's a good strategic game I really loved regardless.
@saturn226 One of the things that bugs me about that video is they haven't turned on shadows. I see it in about half of of the GW2 videos ou there. It's annoying because without them you get this effect that they are floating and have no connection with the ground.
@saturn226 Dude it's pre-beta demo. Just look at Guild Wars Alpha and compare it to finished GW1. It's quite a lot different, so don't worry about this one.
@KimboRamboFin lol, yea i know GW1 walk cycle was screwed up, thats why i never played that game. But i am just concerned because being a new video I am assuming this late in the game this may be set in stone. :< game looks excellent otherwise though.
@saturn226 Quite a bad reason not to play Guild Wars 1... One of the greatest games ever made and easily the best MMO. Great PvP and all. Well, for me it doesn't even matter if the moving wouldn't look so good (which won't happen). I just want the game to be fun, I will not worry about small things like that.
@KimboRamboFin It would have easily become one of the best MMOs if it actually was an MMO. However ArenaNet always hesitated to call Gw1 an mmo. It's more of what they call a CORPG.
@DarkNshY It's not the same time period as Gw1. It's 250 years into the future with Gw2, meaning technology progressed (at least more so with the Charr being pyromaniacs & warlords while Asura have their pursuit of knowledge). It was bound to happen as this game wasn't said to be a perpetually medieval game, but rather it's purely fantasy. The game is set more towards late medieval times where there's still usage of swords & magic but technology is now getting into the mix due to the times.
Am I the only one having trouble with getting a clear view about what's going on exactly due to all those effect? I'm finding them a bit too many and especially the foggy ones are giving me a hard time to distinguish everyone's actions.
Besides from that it looks quite cool but I prefer actual gameplay with the interface on :3
@starbuccaneers apparently itll be sometime in november since thats the date the stores have been informed that they will be allowed to sell the game though there hasnt been much talk over the date so im not that sure on if it has changes since I knew the date back in feb
Yeah, I do really think arenanet is innovating with this game, but i don't feel like this video showcases those innovations very well. It looks very static here, really.
@GlassWallStudioz That's because the people playing this demo were those trying out the gameplay for the first time involving a dungeon for their recent article. They're not experts at this game and players are conditioned by old games into not even thinking actively about dodging or running while casting. This ofcourse is just a demo video showing snippets of their fight with possibly excluding the parts they had trouble to just look good.
This is the only vid I've seen with lack of action.
Lol my first thought when i saw this vid, grind, i thought the game was meant to be all different by really it's the same, click the spell, click it again, click it again, the things is dead. Not that different from anything else.
@GlassWallStudioz There is no forced grind in this game just like in Gw1. The option is there if you like working for levels the hard way but most of the exp comes from events, storyline, dungeons, or lvl'ing up in World PvP. And considering there's a lvling curve at some point of the game, it means that going from lvl 79 to 80 will take as long as 57 to 58. (Max time mentioned it would take a level was said to possibly be around an hour and a half so it wouldn't feel grindy.)
@GlassWallStudioz This doesn't show that at all. Does it show you the screen of someone playing? NO! SO STFU! The game looks awesome and they're going to do everything to not make you grind, that's the hole point of this game...
@Thomassutton360 Are you suggesting that this video shows grinding? I fail to see what you're talking about. Unless you're talking about the dungeons in general. Because I hope you realize these dungeons don't even take up 5% of the game. And they're optional. Grinding can only be apparent if there's something to grind for. Guild Wars 2 just like Guild Wars 1 will be about skill, not gear. Dungeons are put in the game to add even more fun to it.
As a GW1 player, I shudder to think of fighting the ghosts of people that I once knew back in Ascalon. I heard someone spotted Vassar somewhere in this video.
GW2 is so gonna rock the gaming world when it comes. I can't for it to be released.
The music is so awesome. Anyone know the name of it?

looks impressive! still I want dx11 -_-
saitaro 7 months ago
@saitaro I don't know if the game will be able to work with dx11. I know that they've mentioned dx10 is optional for better visuals but I don't know how much more they allowed other than that.
LeonZapphire 7 months ago
@LeonZapphire Yeah I've heard about it. The game is built using the updated gw1 engine. Anyway, with tesselation and stuff gw2 would look bloody awesome. It looks awesome now, to my eye. But not bloody:P I think they'll add dx11, just because it exists. C'mon, even WoW got the technology!
saitaro 7 months ago
@saitaro Having the technology and having use for the technology are two different things. lol

@LeonZapphire true. But isn't making use of a technology a work for devs? :P

@saitaro Maybe. hehe But with the way things are now, I don't see much use for dx11 or whatever else at the moment.

Arena net , go through each part of the game so passoinately, makes me wish i worked there, i'de be soo into it, i'de work all night man....the dungeons, the quests, the armor, the weapons, the characters, the story , the world, the pvp, each part of pvp, if any company does what they do we'd have a master piece each and everytime. i'm gonna buy each expansion for this game, just to support Anet, even if i stop playing this game... thats my word.

@outlawkelb You could start with getting the Platinum Edition of the original Guild Wars. lol It includes the first game known as "Prophecies" and its expansion known as Eye of the North. Both of which will get you aquainted with the lore of Tyria in Gw2 and of the playable races.
Although I should warn that the first Gw games were never called "mmo"s to begin with. They're more like CORPGs (Competitive Online Role Playing Games). But it's a good strategic game I really loved regardless.

amfahmage 8 months ago
@saturn226 One of the things that bugs me about that video is they haven't turned on shadows. I see it in about half of of the GW2 videos ou there. It's annoying because without them you get this effect that they are floating and have no connection with the ground.

@saturn226 Dude it's pre-beta demo. Just look at Guild Wars Alpha and compare it to finished GW1. It's quite a lot different, so don't worry about this one.

@KimboRamboFin lol, yea i know GW1 walk cycle was screwed up, thats why i never played that game. But i am just concerned because being a new video I am assuming this late in the game this may be set in stone. :< game looks excellent otherwise though.
saturn226 8 months ago
@saturn226 Quite a bad reason not to play Guild Wars 1... One of the greatest games ever made and easily the best MMO. Great PvP and all. Well, for me it doesn't even matter if the moving wouldn't look so good (which won't happen). I just want the game to be fun, I will not worry about small things like that.
KimboRamboFin 8 months ago
@KimboRamboFin It would have easily become one of the best MMOs if it actually was an MMO. However ArenaNet always hesitated to call Gw1 an mmo. It's more of what they call a CORPG.

Why the fuck would we want high tech weapons in a low tech (except for asura and some aspects of the dwarfes) world :(
DarkNshY 8 months ago
@DarkNshY It's not the same time period as Gw1. It's 250 years into the future with Gw2, meaning technology progressed (at least more so with the Charr being pyromaniacs & warlords while Asura have their pursuit of knowledge). It was bound to happen as this game wasn't said to be a perpetually medieval game, but rather it's purely fantasy. The game is set more towards late medieval times where there's still usage of swords & magic but technology is now getting into the mix due to the times.

GlassWallStudioz 8 months ago
@GlassWallStudioz That's because the people playing this demo were those trying out the gameplay for the first time involving a dungeon for their recent article. They're not experts at this game and players are conditioned by old games into not even thinking actively about dodging or running while casting. This ofcourse is just a demo video showing snippets of their fight with possibly excluding the parts they had trouble to just look good.
This is the only vid I've seen with lack of action.
LeonZapphire 8 months ago in playlist Guild Wars 2 Info
Lol my first thought when i saw this vid, grind, i thought the game was meant to be all different by really it's the same, click the spell, click it again, click it again, the things is dead. Not that different from anything else.
GlassWallStudioz 8 months ago
@GlassWallStudioz There is no forced grind in this game just like in Gw1. The option is there if you like working for levels the hard way but most of the exp comes from events, storyline, dungeons, or lvl'ing up in World PvP. And considering there's a lvling curve at some point of the game, it means that going from lvl 79 to 80 will take as long as 57 to 58. (Max time mentioned it would take a level was said to possibly be around an hour and a half so it wouldn't feel grindy.)
LeonZapphire 8 months ago
@GlassWallStudioz ya because dodging attacks, hiding behind ur shield, and casting while moving is not different at all...
GaMzyProductions 8 months ago
@GlassWallStudioz This doesn't show that at all. Does it show you the screen of someone playing? NO! SO STFU! The game looks awesome and they're going to do everything to not make you grind, that's the hole point of this game...

Belthornian 8 months ago
@Thomassutton360 Are you suggesting that this video shows grinding? I fail to see what you're talking about. Unless you're talking about the dungeons in general. Because I hope you realize these dungeons don't even take up 5% of the game. And they're optional. Grinding can only be apparent if there's something to grind for. Guild Wars 2 just like Guild Wars 1 will be about skill, not gear. Dungeons are put in the game to add even more fun to it.

As a GW1 player, I shudder to think of fighting the ghosts of people that I once knew back in Ascalon. I heard someone spotted Vassar somewhere in this video.
