How is not having the holy trinity easy mode? now Arena net is implementing the idea that everyone needs to contribute to the team. makes total sense to me
@professionalswiss You don't find tank healer dps easy mode? Instead of just spamming buttons for one role, everyone has to be concerned with everything that happens during a particular battle. Tank dps healer is easy mode, GW2 is making fights more challenging and more diverse than any mmorpg has before. In my opinion.
those who want to join a guild wars community im making one please come to gw2bloodkin.enjin.com and sign up to the website if you have any questions my email is andres.silva1996@yahoo.com email me for info thank you and have fun
There are some inaccuracies: The weapon(s) define the first 5 skills. But won't be affected by the race. The race has only a handful of supportive skills. Also, there are less skills than in GW1, since the first 5 are always defined by the weapon set you choose there is no tweaking. There are much less combinations than in GW1, but at least your skill bar will never be crap like the ones than some noobs in GW1 ran. BTW: You can have two weapon sets in combat, expanding it to additional 5 skills.
@Slayton1978 Well there is PvP and Nightmare modes... But yes I agree, there isn't that much to do at 50 yet. But it looks like they will be pretty quick on releasing content etc...
@Vorzt I'm finding it fine, sure it needs some content and some bug fixes, but I wouldn't say it's broken. Hence why I want you to elaborate on what part you think is broken.
@phoenix743 The game hardly runs on Ilum (which is a joke right now), ability delay(being fixed), frustrating/tedious PvP endgame, massive faction imbalance.
@Vorzt Well none of these have been an issue for me, maybe you need a better PC for Ilum? mine runs fine... PvP loot system hasn't bothered me to much, since there are like 100 valor levels anyway. There are more repub on our server, but the empire suck at pvp, and there must be enough balance to not get hutball x amount of times in a row.
very good explanation of how this game is going to have to be played. everyone does everything. position is key, you gotta dodge, cant just stand still and rely on healers. game is gonna be amazing.
SO, instead of calling it the holy trinity, they just renamed it with a facade not being the trinity? AKA Guardian is a all tank aspect... Still seems a very cool game, but lets face it. this game is still implementing it.
@HippyCheez11 Not really, There is no way to hold agro in this game with taunting etc there will be ways to control mobs with conditions or proximity I expect, but every class will be able to do this equally. So the guardian is not required in a party to finish a dungeon or do an event, any combination of classes is perfectly viable for any aspect of the game.
@HippyCheez11 u cannot directly target an ally to heal, theyre all aoe spells and also, they already said that healing ur allies is LESS effective then their own self heal, so no, theres no trinity when theres no viable healer.
@aperrotts Well I still think Guardian is a little more on the Tankish Side, or kindof a Meatshield when they will make another character more "Support" specific and have HoT abilities. I know most developers cant run away truly from the "Trinity" just seems funny.
not in a stagnant form we see today. Yes it goes without question that there will always be a theme of casters and archers in the back, armed warriors with shields or 2 swords or 2 handed swords in front. The thing is that they will make it dynamic and all roles will be aviable to everyone in one form or another.
@HippyCheez11 No, it WAS explained funny and that's what I thought too, but this is how I've come to think it is.
Ex: Warrior sees monster running for weak ally, kicks him down... Monster gets up and keeps going, Mesmer distracts him.... Monster snaps out of it, Thief stuns him...
They are all performing a tank-like role by controlling their ally. Each character has 1(ish) heal, and all professions must DPS. That's how it seems to me.
I'm super excited for this game! I'm also hoping it brings a lot more than just playing through the main story line similar to the previous GW. Does anyone have any info about that?
WoW offers nothing new now in terms of gameplay. I would say WoW was a wonderful game. But after going through three expansion, they don't offer much other than new classes and new races (Damn I wished the Pandarens came sooner). Now WoW started incorporating ideas from other games.
well i just think it will be because there still working on it and it should be released at the END of this year >w< so maybe or maybe not it will be better then WoW..we will see :3

I don't care if support is your favorite class. -__- Really... Spare me the extra 13 minutes and just give me the 7 minutes of good information I came for.
@roxastheultima Ok..I WISH that would be true. And just so you know..I despise WoW and SWTOR was a huge let down. BUT..we've been saying this same thing over and over for years since WoW was released..and a hundred MMO's later..WoW is still the best MMO ever made. Granted..most of us hate it..you can't deny that they did so many things correct that it will be really hard for a game to out shine WoW..until it does on it's own, which should be soon. It's killing itself atm.
@TheRandomGuyNextDoor Archeage looks pretty standart on the matter of combat, it dosn't improve alot, it's your average MMO, as for Blade & Soul i don't know much... i saw some gameplay and it looked fun, i just don't know if it's like gw2 wich allows for dodging and dynamic combat instead and no holy trinity (AKA: Healer,tank, DPS).
@TheBeastOfDarkcova Yes archeage combat is standard. But the standard combat isnt broken and works well, it suceeds in other aspects. As far as i know its the first 3D sandbox mmo. Youy can build you house anywhere, build a ship and battle others, Have seige battles with other players and knock down the castles they create.3 HUGE continents (bigger than wow, 1 continent is the pvp continent) a jail/crime system and climbing. It also has the best mmo graphics and Farcry3engine
@TheRandomGuyNextDoor Blade and soul combat is the best ive seen in any mmo imo. Every class is unique and have amazing skills. The skills are so crazy you can kick people in the air ( it is a martail arts based mmo) you can fly kick them great distances, you can grapple them when on the floor doing cool moves, you can pick up their dead corpse and throw it about. its amazing.
@TheRandomGuyNextDoor From what i've seen the battle is just like others on that one, you stand still and it's like a combat with counter mechanic involved, but yeah, the combat does look good.
But really now, all these MMO's look promising, i don't think we can really pick a best one here, good thing gw2 is B2P so i can just buy test it and see how good it is without having to worry about a monthly fee ( also no cash shop boost for stats and such). Is Blade & Souls going to be B2P too?
Guild Wars 2 is shaping up to be a very diverse MMORPG, and by that I mean its races. Races are an important part of MMOs. They offer options to the player. We have gone over the races that we will have the opportunity to play as, but many of us have forgotten about the other races. We will be able to explore their villages and cities, accept quests from them, and even meet them on the battlefield. (BTW, check out guildwars2beta . org for open beta keys)
Are for example, Humans faster in dodging stuff then charr's? Because I wanna be a quick warrior, but you know, Charr, Warrior, Fat cow? :P can they still move as fast as humans?
@Sjorsvosje1997 i dont see why not to be honest charr warrior and human warrior could still be moving the same rate and a charr can move faster then anyone if they have traits that allow them to move faster theres alot besides race being factored in also since im commenting the death in this game is replaced with defeat so your not dying your being KO and when a player comes and "ress" you their pretty much just waking you up
@allgamesarewowcopies So uh...did you actually watch the video? Or in this case listen? GW2 is a non-sub game...therefore it's more like Skyrim, you can't compare it to WoW like...at all. They have almost no similarities other then they're both MMO's....and you'd know that if you paid attention. Also no one is below anyone because the only thing you know about each other is you're human...the only difference is what you're willing to do for fun which in your case is pay more for the same :3
Man we've heard that thing about healers 9999999 times... come on everyone is trying to sound smart and explain us why arenanet excluded the healing role.. WE GET IT! stop trying to sound like you invented the idea
?? I use to play arena at gladiator range in wow, I used ~70 keybinds yet I didn't have a mouse with any extra buttons nor a keyboard with extra macro keys lol, it's not required at all. I am looking forward to GW2 though.
quick mention. there is no spell for res. you run up to them and hit F.... XD that is all, played at eurogamer. works amazingly, especially when the goddamn creeper was pounding this poor sucker, knocked back the creeper with a 1 hand sword + horn on a ranger the slash and kick. ressed, repeated the same thing and both got away from the dragon. best part? guy was next to my comp and gave me a pat on the shoulder. XD
@randompeterXD Deathwing's art was released before The Shatterer though TS is nothing more than a Medium Dragon, where as Deathwing was the big baddie of Cata
I think it was a big mistake to not have specific class's. It makes for a real world feel when you need to actually find the right people to do specific tasks, people also enjoy creating characters which specialize as people want to feel unique.
wow got bad when it started to change into grey goo with every class being able to do everything, seems like gw2 wants to start from this point...
I would go opposite and allow character's to be extremely specialised
@Danster82 I don't think this game will be anything like WoW, so it's gonna be hard to say whether no character specific classes is a good idea until open beta.
@Danster82 I would rather not have to respec each time I want to change and be restricted to a certain spec, like with wow I have a dps spec and a pvp spec on my dk, but I want to also be able to tank and I cant unless I lose another spec. This system allows you to do all without having to respec each time! I like the idea
@allgamesarewowcopies LOL, Cata bringing back vanilla. It did basically the exact opposite. No-one in there right mind like vanilla questing, heck vanilla was bad. People are blinded by nostalgia. Was grinding for weeks on end in Molten Core to get 1 piece of gear and when it dropped you didn't get it fun? Fuck no, it was horrible.
Daniel Dociu is a video game art director and concept artist. He is the chief art director for NCsoft North America and also works for its subsidiary ArenaNet.
guildwars 2 will be so awesome, i dont know who would like to stay with WoW if he can have guildwars 2. i mean everything's better, it's cheaper and i'ts got an awesome gameplay.
i also love how you say "press the like button if you liked it or the dislikebutton if you didn't like it" (or something) you dont hear this that often. everyone's like "like and favorise this video" and shit.
What happens when you run out of health, you get knocked down and you can throw rocks, etc, at your enemy. Then someone can help you back up.
If you die when you are knocked down, you are completely "defeated". However, someone can ressurect you, but everytime you get "defeated" it takes a lot longer for someone to ressurect you each time.
@allgamesarewowcopies Too bad with Dragon soul (The worst raid I've ever experienced) epics are given out like free candy, pugs can clear the first 5-6 bosses with ease and has the LAZIEST ending ever thus ruining the potential Cataclysm had.
@allgamesarewowcopies You mean 10 Million and falling? Enjoy your pandas im glad i got out when i did.
And can i just say the whole WOW (or any other sub based mmo) vs GW2 is a fucking stupid argument anyway. Wow is p2p, gw2 is b2p. That means their in two different market cross-sections, wow players will inneviatably buy gw2 but wont need to drop the wow sub through financial situations.
For those of you asking about a release date - GW2 went into closed beta on Friday. The development team wanted to be at this stage end of this year/beginning of next - so it looks like they're ahead of or on schedule for a 2012 release date.
@allgamesarewowcopies I doubt that. There are a number of WoW players who play Guild Wars as well. Guild Wars has a big enough fanbase behind it to make Guild Wars 2 last a looong time.
i doub that you are a tief and steal the other weapon, you still his skills. you said you steal the warriars sword and then beat him with his skills... well if it is that way it will suck... but i guess you steal his weapon, you can use it. but the skills with depend on your proff. but mostly, the other one will have to think fast and switch tactics.
Above their skill bar, all thieves have a special skill called Steal that can be used on enemies. It does not actually steal a real item from an opponent, but rather generates an appropriate environmental weapon based on the target, for example: Steal on a pirate gives you a bottle of rum. Stealing does not break stealth, and cannot be used often. When a thief steals, it can open up a range of support and control options that are less prominent in his basic skills."
@MrSnake9419 from what ive heard, there is not a specific "tanking" class. Any race and proffesion can so called "tank." ArenaNet does not want to be like WoW and have conflicts like that.
As long as Anet sticks to their guns and stay true to their vision it should be a great game. One of the biggest downfall for alot of mmos that have come out past few years is they start off with great ideas/game but then once it goes into open beta they start listening to much to people wanting basicly WoW with different graphics. And the devs end up changing it to fit the whines. Which only kills the game. Like i said one of the biggest reason for failed mmos.
I always thought the idea of a tank in mmo's (even tho i played one) was ridiculous. Why would any enemy attack one person that is also the most armored and resistant, when others are doing more damage to them...bad idea
@Demonbane41276 Even worst (imho), it completely breaks any immersion or impression of tactics.
"STUPID TANK, DON'T BREAK LINE OF SIGHT OR THE MOB RESETS" - c'mon, EVERYONE want to break line of sight in a fight. No matter how strong your armor is, you don't wanna be hit. It's dangerous and it hurts. People should want to use the environment, not stay in the open being hit.
Awesome video. Loved your insight and comparison on all the different aspects of past MMO's and new ones such as GW2. Also loved the electronic Zelda music in the background :D
what's funny is that the concept of removing the healer is so basic, especially in PvP, that it sounds revolutionary. FPS games don't have healers, Stealther Groups don't have healers, Solo Support Characters don't really need Healers... I've been playing without a healer in
MMOs for years.
It's nice to see a game that formally embraces/institutionalizes the concept.
Looking forward to seeing how they design the encounters.

Sure some of his points are solid, but others are assumed, far fetched, and otherwise contradicted ("healing and then a support class" and later stating healers are a support class.

Guild Wars 2 is shaping up to be a very diverse MMORPG, and by that I mean its races. Races are an important part of MMOs. They offer options to the player. We have gone over the races that we will have the opportunity to play as, but many of us have forgotten about the other races. We will be able to explore their villages and cities, accept quests from them, and even meet them on the battlefield. (BTW, check out guildwars2beta . org for open beta keys)

Are for example, Humans faster in dodging stuff then charr's? Because I wanna be a quick warrior, but you know, Charr, Warrior, Fat cow? :P can they still move as fast as humans?
Sjorsvosje1997 1 month ago
@Sjorsvosje1997 i dont see why not to be honest charr warrior and human warrior could still be moving the same rate and a charr can move faster then anyone if they have traits that allow them to move faster theres alot besides race being factored in also since im commenting the death in this game is replaced with defeat so your not dying your being KO and when a player comes and "ress" you their pretty much just waking you up

i am so hyped, more than when i was hyping about fable2, 3.
so far gameplay, game design of class are damn promising
ok.. i must ask although it might kill the hype, what do you think gw2 might go wrong? since i saw 20+ positive/hype vid but none against it.

@allgamesarewowcopies So uh...did you actually watch the video? Or in this case listen? GW2 is a non-sub game...therefore it's more like Skyrim, you can't compare it to WoW like...at all. They have almost no similarities other then they're both MMO's....and you'd know that if you paid attention. Also no one is below anyone because the only thing you know about each other is you're human...the only difference is what you're willing to do for fun which in your case is pay more for the same :3

MasterSteakum18 2 months ago
I think it was a big mistake to not have specific class's. It makes for a real world feel when you need to actually find the right people to do specific tasks, people also enjoy creating characters which specialize as people want to feel unique.
wow got bad when it started to change into grey goo with every class being able to do everything, seems like gw2 wants to start from this point...
I would go opposite and allow character's to be extremely specialised
Danster82 2 months ago
@Danster82 I don't think this game will be anything like WoW, so it's gonna be hard to say whether no character specific classes is a good idea until open beta.

@Danster82 I would rather not have to respec each time I want to change and be restricted to a certain spec, like with wow I have a dps spec and a pvp spec on my dk, but I want to also be able to tank and I cant unless I lose another spec. This system allows you to do all without having to respec each time! I like the idea

About the ressurection thing,
What happens when you run out of health, you get knocked down and you can throw rocks, etc, at your enemy. Then someone can help you back up.
If you die when you are knocked down, you are completely "defeated". However, someone can ressurect you, but everytime you get "defeated" it takes a lot longer for someone to ressurect you each time.

And can i just say the whole WOW (or any other sub based mmo) vs GW2 is a fucking stupid argument anyway. Wow is p2p, gw2 is b2p. That means their in two different market cross-sections, wow players will inneviatably buy gw2 but wont need to drop the wow sub through financial situations.

For those of you asking about a release date - GW2 went into closed beta on Friday. The development team wanted to be at this stage end of this year/beginning of next - so it looks like they're ahead of or on schedule for a 2012 release date.

i doub that you are a tief and steal the other weapon, you still his skills. you said you steal the warriars sword and then beat him with his skills... well if it is that way it will suck... but i guess you steal his weapon, you can use it. but the skills with depend on your proff. but mostly, the other one will have to think fast and switch tactics.
IcoKirov 2 months ago in playlist Season 1
@IcoKirov "Stealing
Above their skill bar, all thieves have a special skill called Steal that can be used on enemies. It does not actually steal a real item from an opponent, but rather generates an appropriate environmental weapon based on the target, for example: Steal on a pirate gives you a bottle of rum. Stealing does not break stealth, and cannot be used often. When a thief steals, it can open up a range of support and control options that are less prominent in his basic skills."

As long as Anet sticks to their guns and stay true to their vision it should be a great game. One of the biggest downfall for alot of mmos that have come out past few years is they start off with great ideas/game but then once it goes into open beta they start listening to much to people wanting basicly WoW with different graphics. And the devs end up changing it to fit the whines. Which only kills the game. Like i said one of the biggest reason for failed mmos.

I always thought the idea of a tank in mmo's (even tho i played one) was ridiculous. Why would any enemy attack one person that is also the most armored and resistant, when others are doing more damage to them...bad idea
Demonbane41276 2 months ago
@Demonbane41276 Even worst (imho), it completely breaks any immersion or impression of tactics.
"STUPID TANK, DON'T BREAK LINE OF SIGHT OR THE MOB RESETS" - c'mon, EVERYONE want to break line of sight in a fight. No matter how strong your armor is, you don't wanna be hit. It's dangerous and it hurts. People should want to use the environment, not stay in the open being hit.

what's funny is that the concept of removing the healer is so basic, especially in PvP, that it sounds revolutionary. FPS games don't have healers, Stealther Groups don't have healers, Solo Support Characters don't really need Healers... I've been playing without a healer in
MMOs for years.
It's nice to see a game that formally embraces/institutionalizes the concept.
Looking forward to seeing how they design the encounters.
