Guild Wars 2: Sylvari Ingenieur (Sylvari Engineer) gamescom 2011

[Armond7402]

I like watching a player that knows how to play this kind of game and not just stand there like a statue.

[MrJonmong]

@Armond7402 which is almost every engineer video besides this lol

[gnomaz15]

I used to be on the top comments, but then I took an arrow in the knee.

[Flitteriffic]

The shark is a little bit spazzy.

[LetoZeth]

Pretty poor Enemy AI when it comes to movement and where not to stand..

Example at 2:00 enemy just sits in the fire like if it doesn't affect him.

Rest looks awesome! :D

[YaHiKoDrG]

@LetoZeth it actually looks like the monster is charging up a skill that's why he doesn't move out right away

[LetoZeth]

@YaHiKoDrG Hmm that's true..

I'm just gonna have to play it to see for myself how it really is.

[hestheman1]

AGGGH!! HUGE ASS SHARK!!!

[TheJEmini95]

I think im going to make a sylvari engineer who is obsessed with fire, uses flame throwers and stuff.

[hestheman1]

@TheJEmini95 if that's the case, then you must make him look like a fire flower from super mario :P

[GreatWallStr1]

The charr use TONS of fire-based weaponry.... hair (fur) burns more easily than green plants. :) This is Tyria, people... don't worry about it Lol

[GelatinousZ]

Not all plants are super flammable, one would assume the sylvari have picked up some fire resistance if they are to deal with dragons.

[MysticXombie]

Ok i can see why the Sylvari would use any technology possible to defeat the dragons, but seriously though, a flamethrower? No matter how i look at it or think about it it makes no sense to me why they would use fire when they are plants o.O

[KentGamers]

engineer is totally my class! love it...!!!



[NoJake]

LOL at the teleporting giant shark

[TheHeretick]

yay for zombie sharks!

[LolAllNicksAreTaken]

Sylvari engineer?;<

Plant-spiece with smoking guns and granades?

[KitaHikari]

@LolAllNicksAreTaken Seriously, why does everyone have a problem with that? A charr, whose fur is way more flamable than green fresh plants are running around with flamethrowers... But THAT is ok with everyone. Le sigh. The Sylvari is a curious race, open to every new experience. Why is it surprising that some of them choose to adapt new technology? From a lore perspective, it makes perfect sense, so you really shouldn't have any problems with it....

[LolAllNicksAreTaken]

@KitaHikari Chaars were always connected to fire ;)

But sylvari? newborn spiece with not-so-enviroment-friendly smoking new technology? It just don't seems ok. Like Asura warrior. thy are small geniuses. They just should not run over battlefield with two-handed maces.

[iUnier]

@LolAllNicksAreTaken It's awesome watching a little asura smash a big undead over the battlefield with a two handed mace man ;P Haha

[KitaHikari]

@LolAllNicksAreTaken I don't disagree about the Asura, but the Sylvari really isn't the way you picture it... They might not have been in the world for long, but they are born ready to take in loads of new information... Tbh, for such a young race, it makes much more sense that they'd pick up something easy to use right away, like grenades and guns, compared to having to master the difficult magics like elemental magic or necromancy.

[KitaHikari]

@LolAllNicksAreTaken The sylvari aren't some pretty flowers speaking against global warming, they're a race that was introduced to this world for the sole purpose of fighting the Dragons, nothing else. If using new technology appeals to them to defeat the dragons as soon as possible, they'll use it...

[GodSince1994]

@KitaHikari Actually, if I remember correct, the pale tree from which the sylvari are grown, was made by accident when Ronan planted it on his family's grave. The tree then became a camp, spreading the word of peace which ventari (yeah I used the wiki for his name) carved into a tablet. When both ronan and ventari was gone, along with the camp, the firstborn of the sylvari appeared and found the tablet where ventari had written the 7 teneths, all of which promote peace, nothing about dragons

[KitaHikari]

@GodSince1994 The Sylvari dream of a huge shadow before they are born. When born, they noticed how the dragons were casting a shadow over the world, and therefore felt that they were chosen to fight the dragons. Sylvari is also the only race that cannot be possed and turned into dragonspawn, which makes them feel even more that they are the dragons' natural enemies.

[GodSince1994]

@KitaHikari hmm, that's true, but then it's more of a goal or purpose to kill the dragons, but not the reason they live. also, they can't turn into dragonspawn because they die when it's attempted, since they're made from an other material than other races.

[KitaHikari]

@GodSince1994 Well, the reason I spoke of it as a "purpose" rather than a goal is because I'd just read a very interesting article about how Sylvari can be compared with antibodies =p I've actually not seen a sure source yet as to why they can't be turned into dragonspawn, but it's probably in regards to the body structure, I agree.

[GodSince1994]

@KitaHikari "While the other races may be corrupted by the Elder Dragons, turned into undead minions or crystalline creatures of the Brand, the sylvari are never turned. Those born of the Pale Tree simply die before the corruption takes hold." -A Shadow in the Dream, the official guild wars 2 page under the branch "races => sylvari"

[KitaHikari]

@GodSince1994 I've read that... It doesn't really tell us WHY they die instead of being turned, just that they do...

[GodSince1994]

@KitaHikari "Some non-sylvari scholars state instead that the sylvari's strange biology foils the corruption of the dragons." However, it also says "No one knows for certain which is the truth." so I suppose it's not part of the lore to know why sylvari die instead of being turned.

[GarlicKiss]

@LolAllNicksAreTaken They learn a bunch of stuff from their mother the Pale Tree. The Sylvari have encountered the Asura before. And by now they've probably encoutered the Charr too. Both technological races. So there is bound to be some info on tech going into newborn Sylvari via the Pale Tree's pool of memories.

@SuperLuckyCHUCKY

In GW2 there is no distinction between characters based on their class. Armor types are not restricted to class, but instead, they are restricted to armor weight.

Warrior and Guardian wear Heavy Armor.

Thief, Ranger, and Engineer wear Medium Armor.

Elementalist, Necromancer, and Unknown wear Light Armor.

The distinction between classes comes when in combat, since all classes have different and unique ability colors and animations. Blue got Guarding, Green for Ranger, so on.

[Minevol2021]

@Druscaelan

By their nature the Sylvari are curious by all aspects of the world. They take it upon themselves to experience all things that are new to them and shrouded in mystery. Thus the reason a Sylvari would be lured by the calling of machines and firearms.

[Druscaelan]

Am I the only one finding a bit funny that the nature loving sylvari, a race that lives in the woods and respects nature, uses a damn fire arm spitting napalm? Not familiar with sylvari lore so feel free to tell me.

[SuperLuckyCHUCKY]

Has anyone noticed that her outfit is almost identical to caithes, thats wheird right? Since shes a thief

[iAppoh]

microwavable mango chicken and rice sucks :( but i'm gonna finish this bowl just cause

[resistandexist100]

@iAppoh sweet

[razaz03]

@iAppoh I feel your pain brother

[Denshuu]

Will the Sylvari catch fire when I throw bombs at them?

[Bofrano]

And damn, that Asura can tank like a boss!

[Bofrano]

Sylvari Engineer looks so wrong. But awesome video :)

[RustyGingerbread]

The shark is probably a mesmer using teleport or sometin :P lol

[wingedprinceofrose]

Lol Sylvari engineer is funny..they have so much flame wouldn't other sylcari fear them accidentally burning down their homeland? XD

And that shark is scary...and it jumps alot XD

[orb90orb90]

That shark is jumpy as shit

[IIVIIRRIIVII]

Freddy Kruger Shark = WIN

[OoMykeloO]

Now that's how you play GW2!!

[le013r]

what are the system requirements for this game ?

[Ic3CroW]

OMG that giant shark was scaaaaaary!

[Chompyburguer]

5:30 nom nom nom nom

[14bebop14]

you should be paid to demo-play for them >,>

[MrQuickSteel]

Finally someone beside IGN posting...who actually is showing something and is not just trying to get traffic on their channel.

[seniorcocopuff]

Should have gone with a Sylvari Ranger or Elementalist....The whole Engineer thing looks weird. Other than that, I for one can't wait to get my hands on this. :O

[TaniumRag]

daang =P man this is a good video to watch since the ones I saw they were just standing there =x even when I was in comic con I think i was one of the only few that actually take advantage of the dodging n active battle gameplay xD

[Jackles2012]

Can't wait for PAX East 2012... 

[mlmattin]

I gotta say...a Sylvari Engineer doesn't make much sense to me. Sylvari are beings of nature and Engineers embrace technology. Whatever. Still looks cool.

[ncryptdntllgnc]

@mlmattin engineers are originally a profession made up by the charr. a sylvari engineer really doesnt make any sense, and there wont be any sylvari/engineer npcs. but the developers didnt want to limit your freedom of choice, so every profession will be available to every race. and i agree with them on this.

[mlmattin]

@ncryptdntllgnc I can understand not wanting to limit freedom of choice. It just seemed like an odd combo to me. To each his own.

[4b0r4th]

@mlmattin This bothered me as well, but their interactions with the Asura had to produce some amount of cross-cultural contamination. Or that Sylvari was just a member of the nightmare court. I could see them wanting to embrace the tools of their enemy.

[jman19mwi]

@mlmattin every being has there own feel and want they to do in life. he maybe got tired see plant all his life soo he move into city with technology then he want to learn how to be them. it simple as that

[mlmattin]

@jman19mwi He uprooted himself so to speak. Haha. Works for me.

[3453445isback]

@mlmattin The sylvari are a curious race they all have questions and they love getting answers

[mlmattin]

@3453445isback Far be it from me to want to hold back a curious Sylvari. Go forth plant guy!

[3453445isback]

@mlmattin indeed

[GameModJr]

they need to work on that shark it was bugging out and the knock back animation was basically the same as on land

otherwise this is coming along quite nicely.

[refinden]

TAKE ALL MY MONEY

[fire42uck]

HOLY SHIT A ZOMBIE SHARK!

[moyga]

There is something very strange about a living plant using a flamethrower.

[AuzzieGaijin]

Wonderful - Thanks very much for this upload

[ratchetjak7459]

Nice, you kick ass! Good job. Was really nice to watch

[Neorantu]

Hehe - the underwater "launch/knowback" animation could use a bit of work... x)

[Ojyh]

It needs more work on mobs animations and positions especially underwater. Other than that it's pretty cool.

[lancecassidy16]

alpha test has already started. and the close beta will be starting after the feed back from the alpha test which will be mid through this year and the normal beta open to the public will be at the end of the year. idiots

[BlazeHerr]

Anyone else sick of all these new demos being the fucking engineer? I've seen it more than any other class on youtube and it's the "newest" class! Other classes have had significant updates too you know...

[wulfanger]

Looks Great! just seems that the underwater still needs some touch ups, the shark was clipping into the ground and teleporting at points and when the character was knocked back she fell on a flat surface underwater

[EpicHubi]

Lustig eine Sylvari die mit nem Flammenwerfer durch ihren Wald huscht. :D

[Shockersify]

Wow, nice quality

[Lattka23]

lol you just click ENTER 10 times and the end sylvari looks awesome o.o

[TheNightfaii]

Great game, terrible shark animations. How many times did he break the sound barrier with his attacks?

[Vytil]

my god the environment is so beautiful

this game just blows my mind

[InkRaven]

Looks amazing WOW

[Xialoh]

holy shit this guy is completely awesome. Someone that fucking knows how to play a game at last. This was highly entertaining, thanks for the upload. Looking forward to more from you if you get the chance.

[MrAjaz1990]

when is this guild wars 2 gonna come out

[wylphen30]

@MrAjaz1990 2012

[MrAjaz1990]

@wylphen30 thx but i heard it will come out late 2011

[fleshylocust]

@MrAjaz1990 lol you heard wrong my friend

[MrAjaz1990]

@fleshylocust k lol but i cant wait till it comes out

[Marzipanzz]

@MrAjaz1990 Alpha and Beta testing for Guild Wars 2 will be coming out by the end of this year. The feedback from testing will determine when the game will be released. Therefore we can assume the game will either come out late 2011 or early 2012.

[Fiddlemaster56]

@Marzipanzz If alpha and beta testing should begin at the end of the year, how could the game be out late 2011 or early 2012? Wouldn't it be guaranteed at least 1st quarter to 2nd quarter of 2012 at the earliest?

[wylphen30]

@Fiddlemaster56 The previous Guild Wars was released a week after beta testing, but we shall see, one of the NC Soft bosses hinted heavily at 2012.

[Marzipanzz]

@Fiddlemaster56 No, I said *by* the end of this year. Let me rephrase that.

Alpha and beta testing will come out before the end of this year. It could be in October, it could be in December. We just don't know.

[enterhereyourname]

They have to add some animation to the water. All too "flatty"...

[IChooseJigglypuff]

HOLYFUCK IT'S JAWS!

[Jontman42]

Argh the fish and creatures still turn around by instantly popping :p They need to fix that or it's going to bug me forever

[ShinzuTakigawa]

No loot from the boss? I know I know...but I couldn't help it :P

[MediaMaster9000]

Finally a gamescom demo where the player has skillz. This was a fantastic video!

[DaleKamp]

Female Sylvari Engineer. What everyone wanted to see! A flamethrowing plant. :)

[toastisimo]

@DaleKamp a burning bush..

[Maverickhey1]

Dear Jaws, eat your heart out... you have been replaced.

[Psykoged]

Finally someone can play the game properly :)

[Chompyburguer]

An vegetarian shark :P

[djuanOD]

@Chompyburguer HAHA, hey even a shark needs it's veggies

[toastisimo]

@Chompyburguer hehe yes but "he" spit her out after chewing a bit on her... =)

[AntiHammer]

Awesome, Knock down needs a little underwater animation :P( Wonder how it will look like :D)

Cant w8 till it comes out Sylvari Ranger is already Mine muahaha :D

GW2 and Sylvari ranger FTW :D

[Chompyburguer]

i mean the shark*

[Chompyburguer]

The sharks ate that sylvary at 5:30?

[djuanOD]

hands down the best video i have see of gamescom so far. looks like SOOOOO much fun! thanks for sharing man, appreciate it. if you have more keep 'em coming

[1337anonym]

More, more, more! :)

[Alex50702]

do you have unlimited breath under water? o.O

[Petrovjan]

@Alex50702 yes, you have some breathing gadget....you can actually see it on your mouth....

[Seigg]

@Alex50702 You get a mask that allows you to breath forever.

[IzNebula]

wow you play so well im glad you uploaded this

[DennisChr92]

@gwcomchannel

Did you only recorded the start, or did you recorded for the hole 40 min? Because it looked great :)

[DellroySimmons]

Looks like the underwater animations still need a little bit of work (5:36 to 5:40), other than that, awesome!

[IzNebula]

@DellroySimmons wow i just realized your the only one that noticed that -_- your one of those people that just looks for the bad things in the game -_-

[spawntron]

@IzNebula Why r you being a douche to Dellroy people like him are the reason your gonna have a complete bug free game. If anything I hope he gets into the Beta cause onlike most people which probably includes you but I wont presume to know for sure, who just Beta test the game to play it rather then being productive helping ANET find bugs. Thats why im glad ANET is placing to much faith into outside help they will probably have a small short beta test for good reason cause of people like you.

[iasnb17yt]

@IzNebula He just said the underwater animations are messed up... and they are

[BergilSunfyre]

you caught a spider in a net. Gave it a taste of it's own medicine. Thumbs up for that, and just for being a Guild Wars 2 video.

[Theo93]

That boss was having some issues. Great Gameplay!

[prodimid]

undead shark looked glitchy. video was rly nice tho!

[MrBubbleKing]

Thank the lord SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO PLAY A VIDEO GAME! Thanks for the upload.

[Kutujames]

@MrBubbleKing im lead to believe that the poeple who get in these betas and what not,dont know how to play these games....at least it always seems like it

[strikerk]

@Kutujames You have a feeling the people who show up at a convention and stand in line for hours who've never played the game before, ever~ don't know how to play the game? Amazing observation Charles Xavier.

[Kutujames]

@strikerk i said beta,not "conventions",learn to read.

And most of the times..the people at these conventions,dont even play video games,they are getting payed to get info.

[ShadowABCXYZ]

Great gameplay footage, What level you were in this demo?

Will you have more videos of different proffesions too please?

[Felladin]

Nice upload! Really liked the shark-battle.

[3DrewG]

Yay a good player! Undead Shark looks awesome!

[abczyx159]

also ich mag die geräusche von der gamescom. das gibt dem ganzen eine ganz andere atmosphäre

[adzaa]

This is the best gameplay vid i've seen to date, was nice kiting that enemy backwards and forwards in the flamethrowers firewall!

I think the only negative is the sharks turning animation but guessing that is place holder at the moment.

[Nr1DanieL]

ICH MUSS ES EINFACH !!BESIITZEN!! Gnaaaa :D

[MAUL0r1]

very impressive gameplay :)

[Ultimatumaz]

YOU ARE THE BESTT!!! you upload great footage, with great gameplay you walked around, experienced an event.. wow, best gameplay footage yet

[KeeperPeace]

finally a video were the player is good

[Jostedalsosten]

Wow, finally someone playing the demo who moves around a bit, well done! (makes up for the lack of character creation) :D

[Stijnhy]

@Jostedalsosten true, but I wouldn't care about the character either.. you only get 40 minutes

[caglejsc]

Didn't use the elite. :(

[Fr3akingNINJA]

i see theyve fixed the mines a bit.. they didnt work too well in the previous demo

[DCSimian]

Nice gameplay footage! This is probably nitpicky, but the shark animations seemed strange...rather spastic for underwater, no?

[GamerLiberis]

@DCSimian That shark's spasms go perfect with dubstep! XD

[ThunderonCZ]

Some bugs in underwater fight but its demo. Thanks for video.

[tggold]

Wow! Thank you for youtubing so quickly!

[Shynruu]

nice :O

[Inoshiro90]

Was sind denn Skill 9 und 0? Ich wills gerne wissen :3

[Bala666]

EPIC 

[Alex50702]

oh we are able to post comments ^^

[hmmmmize]

GEIL!
