Guild Wars 2: 60 Reasons

[xenoblad]

yea, I'm on the same boat for the game but in my humble opinion, I'm not that big of a fan of jeremy soule. His music isn't bad I just think most people enjoy him way more than I do.

[CityGhost88]

BACK UP! BACK UP!!!! AND?! THE?! AWESOME! -throws money at screen-

[warlord88]

there is autoattack i think

[kirbman101]

@warlord88 No there isn't

[3Phill3]

@kirbman101 there is in a way, u can make skill 1 trigger itself over and over, if u put it that way

[3Phill3]

@warlord88 kinda yes, kinda no, u can put ur first skill (which is spammable) on auto attack meaning u dont need to mash 1 all the time but u dont need it to be like that

[bengalifan]

I'm hoping for a 62. Very roleplay friendly.

[mmdbidstrup]

mmm jumping :D

[lebaz101]

How is having no healer and tank a good thing? I quite enjoyed that holy trinity, not only that I have seen footage of dungeons, and everyone always gets wiped, without a tank and healer they just get pwnd.

[kwood320]

@lebaz101 because the system is stuck in a rut, GW2 breaks the rut and develops a self heal and all heal philosophy as well as a diverse skill selection mechanic, essentially making the game far more balanced and less paradigm based

[lebaz101]

@kwood320 But your missing the point, dungeons are a complete mess without it.

[kwood320]

@lebaz101 I think maybe you are missing the point.. they have rendered the healer/ tank class completely unnecessary.  Watch more GW videos and you will get it.

[lebaz101]

@kwood320 No, I think you didnt read my comment correctly, I have watched plenty of GW2 dungeon runs, and they fail so bad, they take too much damage, they need dedicated healers and tanks.

[goldbear42]

@lebaz101 I dont think that people need healers and tanks. Healers and tanks seem to be the easy way to solve dungeons because one can always blame the others. In Guild Wars 2 Movement plays a huge role and fights are less WoW-ish and more DotA-ish or Savage 2-ish if you'r catching my drift.

People just have to take care of themselves now

[lebaz101]

@goldbear42 Yeah I get what you mean :P, but you could still easily blame each other, I doubt that will change.

[JesterLic]

@lebaz101 I love it when I'm not required to NEED to team up with specific roles (I don't mean I don't like grouping up.. but having the NEED for a specific role bothers me)

[lebaz101]

@JesterLic Yeah I guess they say there's no waiting queues, but as of now there is no queue anyways, there is no dungeon finder, you group up and go, I always found that fairly easy before wow had a dungeon finder.

[xSerumZHD]

Out of the 60 I think my brain only retained like 35 x.x

[Anxian]

You know its looks great but is going to suck within 2 months of playing it......

[xynth101088]

And this was only 61 reasons for why the game was awesome a year ago. So much more awesome has been added. It's going to be great.

[live2invent]

any1 else knew that the last would be no sub fee

[racenuke]

Best video on guild wars 2.... ever.

[bobbingmatt]

How did you in a minute?

[Kayshinae]

I was already like: "can't fuckin wait." But now I'm all: "I CANNOT FUCKING WAIT!!"

[VoreTechz1985]

Ironic that the 61st was the best out of them all.

[JakeEgan2]

@VoreTechz1985 not really...

[Arquneable]

I feel tricked, that was 61.. i only came here for 60

[artemis7525]

BOOM EPIC GAME!



[artemis7525]

Actually over 30 mini games!

[artemis7525]

GW2 is going to suck on opposite day.

[DeJayHank]

I'm gonna make this my new clock.

[Ericniceful]

He forgot transmutation stone:(

[alkabash66]

I remember them all.

GW 2 is awesome!

[Zarkyun]

THATS 61 REASONS YOU LYING BASTARD!!

[XMajorasMaskX]

no sub fee.......why i loved gw1....why ill love gw2 even more

[MangoPowuh]

Jeremy Soule?! The one that composed Skyrim?

Okay - Must get.

[CHEMiCALRAiNz]

You sir, are my new personal hero.

[Luihutin]

We need lyrics to this video.

[mekkadonz28]

I...want....this...game....now­

[Alazais01]

Haha, pretty well done video :)

I want this game!

[numbertoxy]

*Creams*

[de4ler]

62 graphics 

[frosty3552]

the mesmer ;)

[SliZeR3]

Haha.. he's obviously played the original otherwise he wouldnt have the part were you can jump, as in the previous guild wars games you couldnt.. unless you typed /jump

[MrGrakkus]

:OOOO

[aze254]

lol the mesmer, only -point, no dervish or scythes

[juuuuuuuuuuify]

cant wait for this game

[GrimReaperrz]

and thats just 1% of the reasons to get this game!

o and reason 62: humans who worship balthazar can summon hellhounds!

[blackhole12]

Its not 60! I was cheated! In a good way

[HvPman]

and no world pvp...

[Master10k2]

@HvPman World v World v World trumps all

[Demascius]

@HvPman was never a good thing anyway

[papaj1m3]

what the actually did is that you are not that restricted to pick a certain profession for the role you want to play ... also everyone is going to be able to group easier ...(i still remember the 35 min que to a dungeon as dps while with my tank i couldnt even go to the bathroom and i had a party in wow)the revolution is that you pick a profession and you can be helpfull in numerous different group compositions so the worse effect of the trinity is not there anymore

[XXXpallisterXXX]

Should take out the bit about no tanking or healers. The game still uses Tank, Healer, DPS, only difference is every class is a hybrid and can do any role.

[omicida4991]

@XXXpallisterXXX Which means that there is no specific class that is doing X role, which means.. you go figure.

[XXXpallisterXXX]

@omicida4991 But they are still doing the role of tank,dps,healer...it's just not a set role.

[NocteusLucium]

@XXXpallisterXXX Not really dude.. lmao, there is no class that has a "healing" spell. Allies aren't targetable in Guild Wars 2.

[ourorboros2]

@NocteusLucium

none of what you just wrote is true...you can target allies firstly and there are a number of healing abilities, take engineer for example, using an elixir gun your toolbelt ability gives you a healing AoE, number 5 for the elixir gun give a healing skillshot, the toolbelt for elixir H is a AoE heal, you're healing turret also heals allies and the med kit allows you to drop bandages for others to pick up.

[xynth101088]

@ourorboros2 Actually he was half right. He was right about not being about to target other players. Wrong about the healing spells. There are aoe heals which you can use to target specific players, and then there are abilities like elixirs as you mentioned, but these are not target-able. When you use these they will automatically select the player in the most need of the heal, but over all every heal is pretty weak because they do not want dedicated healers or anything else for that matter.

[ourorboros2]

@xynth101088

ill keep this short and simple, you can target other players, watch any beta vid and you can see that and no, elixirs dont target the lowest health person, there is one elixir which heals, elixir H and its self targeted, there is a toolbelt ability however "throw elixir H" which is a ground targeted AoE heal.

[xynth101088]

@ourorboros2 Been watching footage for years. You can not target players with skills. Clicking someone to inspect them or whatever is not the same kind of thing as actually using something on someone.

[ourorboros2]

@xynth101088

did i say you could target players with skills? no. the person i was talking to said "Allies aren't targetable in Guild Wars 2" they are targetable, the issue of whether or not you can target them with spells was not brought up.

[MistuhrSoku]

@ourorboros2 How do you think you buff anyone? :|

[ourorboros2]

@MistuhrSoku

there are no player targeted buffs in the game, there are not even any class unique buffs, there are 8 "boons", certain abilities will grant these boons, either to you or your group, a warrior for instance has banners and standards which he can place on the ground to provide his team with certain boons or the ranger can blow their warhorn to give certain boons and so on but you cant just click on your mate and cast one on him though,

[ourorboros2]

@MistuhrSoku

ah, just reading through the wiki, there is infact 1 profession exclusive boon and thats Aegis for the Gaurdian which allows you to block the next attack, thats the only one though

[TamzHD]

@XXXpallisterXXX no. it's damage, support and control.

[XXXpallisterXXX]

@TamzHD So basically, new names for: Tank, DPS, Healer.

[TriniCoda]

@XXXpallisterXXX Why butt hurt? There is essentially no trinity since support heals are less than any character's self heal. Check the GW2 wiki. What would be considered a tank, the Guardian, is also the only of the 8 classes with significant supportive healing abilities.

Lets assume you want to make a trinity comp, 2 Gaurdians and 3 "Dps." This will be the "safer" choice but it will not be able to meet timed damage thresholds and lack the controlling, aoe and kiting abilities of other comps.

[XXXpallisterXXX]

@TriniCoda But the Trinity is still there, it has just been adapted in a different way. What im trying to get at is everyone is saying things like, "OMG they got rid of the holy trinity, this is so revelutionary!". When in essence the trinity is still there it is just put across in a more unique way.

[TriniCoda]

@XXXpallisterXXX But that's the thing, there is no HEALER OR TANK since its impossible for a single character to take dungeon level dmg unless they cycle gaurdians, even then the spec each would need to be would get overrun by mobs/timers because of the lack of dps. Its in the numbers that there can be no main tank or healer. The only option is to dps down mobs, support each other with buffs/revives/minor heals (ever class has a type of heal ally) and most importantly Crowd Control and dodging.

[TriniCoda]

@XXXpallisterXXX The objective is to not get hit above everything else ergo not the trinity AT ALL. This is the reason why its taking so long to be released, balancing end game dungeons around this is most likely hard as hell since a dungeon on its highest difficulty needs to push each individual player to the limit to utilize his/her skillset.

[riktigtdumjaevel]

Being a hardcore GW1 fan I LOL'd so hard at "jumping".

[lebaz101]

@riktigtdumjaevel God, Guild Wars 1's movement restrictions are an absolute abomination, invisible walls all up on yo ass'.

[mestido]

subbed lol

[brussy1]

title of this video is a lie. shows 61 reasons. thx for wasting my time... :3

[HASSMAILBOX]

Well... nothing very inovativ. They just took all the cool stuff together and made a game out of it. Looks quit good but i still hate mmorpg and this midage stile... Gona buy it when a Cyberpunk version comes out. 1. Every good Singel and Coop game 2.Even Quake had that 3.Borderlands 4.WoW (even more) 6.only new for Rpg :D 5,6,7. To many Games with exact that. 8.Mass Effect 10.If u own a good Boxes every game has a quite good sound. 14 - 15. Elder Scrolls Just to mention a few

[dkmorbidus]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OO0OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOO Who can find the 0?

[suzake2]

@dkmorbidus easy as hell

[Fergustravers654]

"It's got BAR BRAWLS..." That's all I need to know, I am getting this.

[dAt3q]

This already look better then swtor which is a static, linear straightedged singleplayer game right now and i guess for a couple of years since they did 1 year over 1 big flashpoint.

[xT0IVIx]

No healers, No tanks, No subscription fee, Down state and fiiiiiveee gooooold riiiiiings.

[VincentNii]

u forgot no dps

[Krukkie]

@VincentNii You still do damage. You can't take on 10 enemies at once like a tank or keep a whole group alive as a healer. You can support, control or just go all out damage, the latter being pretty much similar to DPS.

[rerundadog]

I wasted money on ToR. its pretty much just like wow and mass effect mixed together. The only reason I might play wow is for the pvp, but apparently this is gonna be better

[liberator48]

and let me clarify; gw2 is not like wow in all ways, it's very different in some areas but it's very much like wow in the worst possible area.. the difficulty, now i haven't tried the game so i can't tell how hard the mobs are but i can tell that it's noob friendliness meter is over the top with stupid features such as every class is healer and tank and underwater breathing etc... it just doesn't make sense, and if i wanted to play a child game i'd play dora the explorer, not an mmorpg.

[ourorboros2]

@liberator48

" but i can tell that it's noob friendliness meter is over the top"

actually what the company is aiming for is game that anyone can play and enjoy but with a stupidly high skill ceiling.

infact, this is shown very well through their attitude to dungeons.

each dungeon has one story mode which is easy and is meant to allow all players to see the content, after completing this you unlock three much more difficult sections which are near impossible with teamwork and co-operation.

[ourorboros2]

@liberator48

" with stupid features such as every class is healer and tank"

this simply isn't true, every class, depending on how its built, can perform better at either damage, supporting or control, there are no dedicated tanks or healers and not every class(unless specifically built as a hybrid) is a hybrid.

you clearly dont know much about the game...

"and underwater breathing"

it allows a new dynamic to combat, how is that a bad thing?

[ourorboros2]

@liberator48

"and if i wanted to play a child game..."

ah, you just prefer to play as little girls with stupidly small skirts and bunny ears yes?

or overly sexualised females in general?

tera besides an interesting political system brings nothing new besides scantily clad woman and a race bordering on child pornography to the point that the company was forced to have their little loli race all wear stockings in west.

[catcobbler]

i like how bar brawls is its own category lol

[liberator48]

if there was a subscription fee there'd be no way in hell i'd even consider this game but since there's not, i might buy it or at least try it if there's a trial but i'm going TERA until ArcheAge releases, instead of this p9 crap. hah it's gonna be like wow with better graphics, zoned instanced areas instead of open world, and stupid characters who don't have lungs and therefore can stay underwater forever... rainbows and lollipops for everyone (>O.o)>

[Dracalas]

@liberator48 Guild wars 2 has an open world, a very persistent one. Dynamic events with no quests, it is instant stuff, so you could be just walking along a town and boom, there are enemies attacking. Unlike WoW you do not have to read tons of text. Watch some videos, learn about all of its features. It's very different from WoW. You cannot make judgment of a game until you have played and learned about it.

[Connen1]

@liberator48 Do u realize that Tera Online and ArcheAge are more like WoW than Guild Wars 2? From what you saying, you have no information at all about GW2. GW2 is #1 most anticipated mmo game of 2012 in many websites.Tera Online barely make it to the top ten and ArcheAge is not even in top ten. On youtube /watch?v=lP17RfcWmFw&list=FLdz­MkE7UQquKXBZhQcTm0WQ&index=8&f­eature=plpp_videou'll see why it looks so much better than Tera Online. Only good thing about Tera, it has cool combat.

[liberator48]

@Connen1 god all these ignoramus fanboys trying to protect their game... well ok and do you realize that the reason why gw2 is so popular because it's released by ncsoft? a very old and renown developer, and while tera and archeage are released by newer and obscure companies almost just barely more than indie companies, this does not mean that gw2 is better in any way. not to mention gw2 is so like wow and people are not ready to give up the handholding in mmo's yet....

[Connen1]

@liberator48 You do realize I can say the same thing to you. God all these ignoramus trolls tryting to ruin other games reputation. Come to watch other games videos then starting trolling about this game are crap and such. Like you said, you haven't tried the game yet, then why the fuck do you have to be a fag about new ideas of the gameplay? and you even stated as NSsoft as developer? FAIL. NCsoft is a publisher. You have no info of anything do you? troll!

[Connen1]

@liberator48 Here the thing, watch the gameplay video first. Then start to complain with some reasonable questions. Don't compare the company, compare gameplay. DO you even watch the video I told you about yet? I did watched Tera Online gameplay already like a year ago and I still think GW2 is better. I will be playing Tera before GW2 come out tho. just act more reasonable as a gamer.

[liberator48]

@Connen1 i can repeat my previous comments to you a million times and you still won't get it but you know it's fine, i'm cool with you playing gw2, all i'm saying though is that it's a little too childish a game for me, so i'll be playing tera instead that's all, have fun in gw2 kklolthxbai.

[Killkec]

@liberator48

you made me piss my pants :D hahahahaha fuck you now I have to shower -.-

[ourorboros2]

@liberator48

0h while talking about races lets not forget the oh so adult popori.

fat little hamsters and little girls with bunny ears.

so very adult.

[xXxUlqi4YouxXx]

@ourorboros2 shut up already ...im tired of reading your comments

[FunSplasher]

I ALRDY LOVE IT :D

[warcraftbeasts]

best MMORPG so far xpxd

[ssjaken]

Back the fun bus the fuck up. STEVE BLUM DOES VO IN THIS GAME???? FUCK YEAH!

[Duncon1981]

WOAH WOAH, this game is not P2P?

[BroMumbles]

@Duncon1981 Nope. Pay once for the game, collectors or not, and free to play from then on.

[TrollingDayAndNight]

@Duncon1981 you have to buy the game itself, but there is no monthly fee like in wow

[FanaticDamen]

@Duncon1981 You pay for the game, just no Monthly fees :D

[Mitsukakex]

@Duncon1981 like everyone else said but there are some other things you will have to pay for....expantion packs, but thats for lols seeing how if it was like gw1 those will only come out 1ce every 2 years. there is a cash shop but NOTHING at all will effect other players and such.

[HalcyonEthos]

@Duncon1981 no fees at all , watch this video youtube.com/watch?v=ns-IIn-DG-­c

[HalcyonEthos]

that link is incorrect - just search youtube for a video called "Guild Wars 2: WTF No Subscription Fee?"

[RakeBone]

You Sir, I hav just subscribed to

[UnnaRainchaser]

This never gets old 8D

[Bastarden]

Can't wait for this game, despite all the fanboiz coming out "swinging mah soord!!" in front of it. GW2 is amazing enough to not be promoted by bashing wow/swtor/rift. Swtor and Rift are not amazing enough to be promoted without bashing WoW though so that's understandeable.

[SushiFuuko]

I'm really tired to wait, guys :(

[theblacckreaper]

@SushiFuuko everyone is tired of waiting

[SushiFuuko]

@theblacckreaper Yeah, okay. I think that I'll play Aion for a long time 'till this.

[Massatrocity]

Don't get me wrong though, still a sick looking game, and I hope it does real well. Just MMOs should be played it tons of people, not just alone most of the time like I was told Guild Wars 1 was. If I wanted to play that sort of game, I'd play something like Demon Souls or Diablo =(

[Massatrocity]

Only concern is based on what I really liked about WoW (That being my first MMO type game that I fully played. Ultima Online was only bits and pieces), which are seeing tons of people online with you, and random in world fighting. I hated BGs for the fact that it was one of the ways for guaranteed PVP. What I LOVED about Ultima, though little did I play, was killing your own people if you wanted to. Shut a lot of people up who you couldn't otherwise in WoW, plus it's "realistic". Screw factions.

[Connen1]

Well considering, this will be the first time I got to be playing the "real" underwater combat under "MMORPG" games. Just this one alone, I already can get rid of most(maybe all?) MMORPG games. I heard there will be more some unique clothes. I already know town clothes where you can switch while in town or city and off from combat. And maybe each guild's uniform? It would be so damn awesome if each guild have their own members running around while wearing the same uniform.

[Couscous677]

This game looks fun and lucky me its free cuz for me its this and Blade and Soul.

[AhmedKarimNL]

You convinced me

[Chupimaru]

Anti-grind philosophy FTW

[DrgoFx]

29 made me laugh...those that have never played Guild Wars 1 will never understand the joy that brings.

[refinden]

I was sold on the dye system

[ThunderTC]

"The Mesmer" .... :) gg

[elementzeroable]

I counted 61 though :/

[Stumigod]

THE LAST CLASS IS ACTUALLY THE MESMER!!!!!! Dude that sucks how you didn't make because of that because it's TRUE!!!

[WoodenPotatoes]

@Stumigod

Hey, yeah! Damn!

[costelking]

Guild wars 2 could have been good until....it didn't take an arrow to the knee.That means it will be AWESOME!

[ckrazy813]

Reason i will never get this game: Health bar>Health ball. if you can explain why the health bar wasnt good enough tickle my fancy. FAILURE

[R0ssee]

@ckrazy813 Health ball<Healt bar It's is easier to see when UI is based on up-and-down eye movement. Health bar is good for left-to-right eye movement

[BladedKirby]

@ckrazy813 I'm sorry you were born with a knack for making horrible decisions for stupid reasons.

[justchilln6190]

39. The Mesmer

(Don't give me that look...

you know it's there!) LOL

[SuperEnergyAddict022]

My favorite part was the jumping. :3  .... xD Had to.

[MsSudbud]

Reason 29: JUMPING!!!

[Ace2066]

You mentioned 5 unique classes, then 8. Which is it?

[WoodenPotatoes]

@Ace2066

5 Races. 8 Classes.

[MsSudbud]

@WoodenPotatoes omg, I couldn't stop laughing i would like to play with u on this game!!!

[Ace2066]

That's a lot of adjectives

[omgown3d]

i lol'ed at "JUMPING"

[TheMikaellol]

Can't wait try out the jumping!! :S

[TheZnert]

jumping is a reaon for guild wars 2? nice, i agree :)

[IfIonliHadAName]

Oakhearts, rofl. They were a nice break from the damn spiders and moss scarabs.

[ReadThisDerp]

Absolutely amazzzzzzingggggggggggg

[Bastarden]

Not to mention that Blizzard's new MMO, will be a hard blow to GW2/SWTOR/RIFT. No matter how you see it, Blizzard holds the market. And I'm glad, since I don't want to see the same people in WoW that I will see in GW2...or the other way around considering all the GW2 fanbois roaming.

[BlairPhoenix]

@Bastarden I find it funny how so many are quick to say that Blizzard's new MMO will be phenomenal when we don't actually know anything about it.

[irrenderNarr42]

my favorit is totaly the No. 30 XD

[engenuine]

Favorited.

[dargonfanatic]

Anyone who watched the video through without pausing and understand everything? BOO YA =D

[darksoul3100]

17 people are WoW nerds

[Vaxx13131313]

Guild Wars will NEVER beat WoW.

Because WoW already killed its self.

[s0utht0wnjr]

@Vaxx13131313 It doesn't have to beat it, it just has to step over the rotting carcass.

[Bastarden]

@Vaxx13131313 That's just bullshit and anyone not an emo kid with a grudge against WoW, would know that. WoW will be around for 10 more years, and even long after Blizzard stops developing content, it'll still have tons of players just like some of the old MMOS.

It's pathetic how GW2-fanbois (I love this game, but I don't try to up it by downing WoW) behave and act just like the Rift fanbois.

GW2 and WoW are 2 different games, end of.

[Mitjan11]

@Bastarden

If they keep it up like this it won't last 10 more years. I mean... already lost 10% of its subs in about a year.

[spamy97]

@Vaxx13131313

Yes, only 10 million players and not a pot to piss in. Looking forward to GW2 though :)

[Arorndulia]

@Vaxx13131313 If you had raided in WoW, you would know that this game will suck, ass.

[danielchartrandmusic]

@Arorndulia raiding in wow is about as entertaining as watching flies fuck.

[SocialEclipse]

@danielchartrandmusic As much as I agree about how boring Wow raiding is, I have to disagree about the flies fucking. I think that'd be pretty interesting to watch.

[Eckull]

@Arorndulia Because you've totally raided in GW2, right?

[PvPwithTotems]

@Vaxx13131313 I was going for the dislike button till i read the rest

[ZeldaStar103]

@Vaxx13131313 you are correct Guild Wars will never beat WoW, WoW killed itself, GW2 is just digging its grave >:D
