[Cannonbeard]

i cried of happiness omg Guild wars 2 FTW!

[MiZTiiX]

[Cannonbeard]

@MiZTiiX Actually no i am not 

[KotRFFXIV]

Martin Kerstein " Ok, to clarify a couple of points:

We purposely didn’t use the term “Open Beta”, we mentioned Beta Events. To some people Open Beta means unlimited access to the game and everybody on the interwebs can play it. This is not what we will do.

We will do Beta Weekend Events. there will be some kind of selection criteria and the beta period will usually start on a Friday and end on the following Sunday."

[KotRFFXIV]

i think you need to get your facts straight and stop assuming things, Arenanet has said there will NOT be an Open beta, they did not use the words Open Beta for that reason,

[JayMK47]

The waiting almost over? I think 4-5 months is a long ass time :( 2-3 months till bate tho, but thats still a long ass time!

[strv]

@JayMK47 not compared to the YEARS we have waited

[JayMK47]

@strv hmm i havent waited for a year :P

[strv]

@JayMK47 most of us real gw fans have waited since the announcment in 2007 :P

[JayMK47]

@strv wow, im glad i didnt find out before much later :P

[strv]

@JayMK47 aye, tis a curse

[Thelorinomaster]

I swear if i cant finish gw2 before the worlds ending im going to be pissed off

[AregonAres]

Best News Indeed!

[AlexBottomJeans]

I’d really like to know your opinions on the topic, and appreciate your consideration.

Also, love your videos. Keep up the good work! :)

[AlexBottomJeans]

I have a suggestion for a discussion video.

One feature that helps GW2 stand out in the crowd of MMO games is its lack of the holy trinity players have gotten used to. Multiple claims have been made that group construction is virtually irrelevant for the majority of, if not all, tasks. Veterans of the series should be well aware that in GW1, some instances required specific compositions in order for successful completion (IE: UWSC, FoWSC). How will GW2 prevent this from happening?

[ReadThisDerp]

:( If only my computer wasn't so crappalicious. Atleast I can watch GW2 videos and pretend I'm playing it?

[lotuseaterification]

@ReadThisDerp The closed beta testers were working on really old computers so Anet wasn't forgetting the people with shitty computers.

[ReadThisDerp]

@lotuseaterification Please define "shitty" computers. My PC has integrated 6150se graphics. single core processor. lol

[lotuseaterification]

@ReadThisDerp Then why did you call your computer "crappalicious?"

[metalhead1274]

OMG OMG OMG COME MARCH I WILL BE PLAYING ALLL NIGHT IN BETA

[saum510]

Februari players you're our last hope MAKE VIDS!

[BennyBoyWhitty]

so its most like to come out in summer , sweet 6 weeks off doing fuck all.. hmm, GUILD WARS 2!! (also diablo 3 is epic)

[aze254]

im feeling terrible xD i wants my precious naaow, i tired of filling my hom :p

[TheFretzie1]

The only world ending in 2012 is World of Warcraft

[GoblinsnHobbits]

@TheFretzie1

oh, you're wrong. other worlds that are ending: Taris, Illum, Coruscant, Dromand Kaas, and every other planet in SWTOR.

[MiZTiiX]

@TheFretzie1 old joke is old.

[MrNicefff]

Best thing about you and your videos is that just by listening I can tell your excited as me, makes.me more excited hehe thank you

[llllllMysterylllllll]

I just shitted my pants!

[SuperEnergyAddict022]

I think I orgasmed.

[immortalitygamingc]

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAHHHHH GUILD WARS 2 O_O

[DauntlessMatthew]

Best news I've heard all year.

[eugkra34]

how long is the duration between a final beta and official release usually in most mmos of the past.

[RealNightcover]

@eugkra34 they are using beta events like RIFT so probably 1, max 2 months. so maybe release by june

[iSteven00]

@eugkra34 Usually it is about 6-10 weeks after the final beta testing 

[PunkBuzter]

@eugkra34 usualy you won't notice that in-game since accounts mostly only gets reset from closed to> open beta, no resets from open> official.

hope that helps

[TheTigerYumYums]

@eugkra34 You probably have already recieved a comment about this but usually no more than 3-4 months.

[Yesios]

@eugkra34 It depends on how many bugs and problems have to be fixed in total. And I hope that arena net won't be as dumb as bw/ea who's last releases were one fail after another :)

[Thomazz46]

@eugkra34 Usually about 6 months, sometimes longer. But ArenaNet has stated that the final beta will be very close to release, so in GW2's case I'd guess about 2-3 months

[VMS1337]

@aperrotts u do realize march 27th is before April 28th

[atorayadragon]

I will be born in the virtual world this year

Year of the Dagon

[ShadowninjaGaming]

so with the open beta in march how do we get in???

[VMS1337]

i bet release date will be April 28th the release date of GW1

[Yellowtoxin]

The release date will be in April i bet.

[kobedabest]

What news? That media as in ign, GameSpot, and so on are in the beta. Please media only care bout fps, such as modern warfare. How bout they let the guild wars 1 vet. test it out first. You and I fanboy well know that media don't give a shut bout mmo, only fps or should I say modern warefare

[R1P3R]

Whats the name of the song running in the background?I know i heard it in some of your other videos. :)

[Ralinor666]

3 ppl play star wars

[AyaneHajinmon]

its better than getting nothing....im excited wooh

[brandonzzz7]

so much for first quarter release :(. No kidding its going to be released this year but i was hoping it would be sooner than this summer.

[kobedabest]

lol all the butt hurt people here. Hey I am as excited as anyone for this game. But no where did I see a "open beta " to gamers. All I see is it's for the press, and "later this year" lol as much as I hat Warcraft. this game would get mop by /sigh... pandas

[Connen1]

@kobedabest When there was no news at all about releasing date, u complained, and when there are some news about it, u complain! I just don't get you type of people.

[KillJD]

Omg! Best news ever! Not! Who didn't think it'd be released this year?!?

[Medronawow]

Sweet mother of god! *Happy cry face*

[TheChrises16]

PLEASE RELEASE IT THIS SUMMER IM GONNA PLAY IT IN MY VACATION(2 MONTHS) XDDD HURRAY

[zZAD]

YOUR BEST VIDEO TO DATE!!!! hahahahaha ;)

GREAT NEWS!!! I hope it is released before summer!!!!

[hilletehnoob]

makes sense,they want to get some money from the fruits they planted as the world is going to end in 21/12/2012

[HotSaucePC]

I AM SO FUCKING EXCITED RIGHT NOW!

[zombiedev]

If I cryogenically freeze myself, will anyone here thaw me out when GW2 is released?

[yummahaphazza]

aazdfgfhxsdgcfcbcvbhtghbxgvbgc­vbhrghcbgnfghcghcvbn YES!

[Uraharatix]

i got to say .. i cant wait for the game .. but im disapointed that there is a FAST TRAVEL SYSTEM... ITS IDIOTIC. I RATHAR HAVE FLYING MOUNTS.

[zZAD]

@Uraharatix Flying mounts??? NO THNX!!!!

[DerUberSkillz]

@Uraharatix

FAST TRAVEL is always bad! For me it kinda ruined Skyrim for example sure i could ignore and play without it but the human is lazy xD

[AlexRichani]

@Uraharatix I respect your opinion but the key to the fast travel system is that you're going to have to reach the location by foot before you can fast travel there (possible exclusion would be the home-cities).

[Uraharatix]

@AlexRichani

yes but it makes you feel like ur playing a one person game like skyrim ..

they could make a flying mount that can fly only to the places u've discoverd alone ...

[alwynnan]

@Uraharatix flying mounts sucks and it takes the sense of scale in the world..

why miss the beautiful areas instead of seeing shitloads of trees everywhere.. D:

[Uraharatix]

@alwynnan i agree about the sense of scale .. thats why im against "Fast Travel" .. It ruins the experiance ,,you know ,, forget flying mounts.. will there be regular mounts?

[alwynnan]

@Uraharatix sorry i meant flying mounts takes the sense of scale away from the game. It means im against flying mounts fast travel is way better. I prefer seeing the world from the ground and not the air.

[47akka0]

nice intro

[LichQueenKathie]

I have...but one...word...

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

[borikoak]

AS an important member of my press channels i expect you in that first beta. Do not let me down!

[TheMozardd]

OMGG!

This is incredibly great news!! Cant wait to play

[DuckManX8]

FUCK YEA!!!!

[YouKnowWhoNiller]

Dear TubeElephant. Do you know what it requires to achieve a beta-key?

[kobedabest]

guild wars 2 will be the next duke Nukem! went from 2011 to now later this year. tired of waiting, gonna go get swtor or resubmit WoW

[Epkeee]

@kobedabest What's stopping you? I don't mind. ;)

[Rokkmachine]

@kobedabest

ye, waste your money there, we don't need p0kz like you here.

[xjx2]

@kobedabest They NEVER at any point said they were releasing, they were rumours/hopes created by fans, or fake dates created by game retailers so they could take pre-orders

[macfreddou]

Happyyy!!!

[Pyzlnar]

NAIODNWAOWNDWOF MWFIOAFB KYAAAAAAAAAAA~~~

[ConCluSed]

CANT WAIT! D:

[Breeleyspec]

The Maya's knew it

[marianpuchaly]

im not going to pass this year...

[Rokkmachine]

I'm glad that I'm following your twitter, else I would possibly miss this announcement!

[mishaal3000]

@MrSupermick16 it will never have OBT as what we know

its going open but with selection process involved

that means not every one will be allowed to get in

coz this game is not P2P or F2P so thy got to go with limited OBT

[MrSupermick16]

@mishaal3000 lol wut?

You are saying they will not have a real open beta because they are B2P and not F2P or P2P?

That doesn't make any sense really..

Source of your statement?

[mishaal3000]

@MrSupermick16 you can check your masgs i have sent it to you coz i cant but a link here

and its on GW2 GURU

[TubeElephant]

The Year of the Dragon = the Year of Guild Wars 2! It's coming this year people!!!

[MrJJbleeker]

@TubeElephant not sure yet, its an chinese calender so it could still be 2013 if they have bad beta tests

[BRJuno]

@TubeElephant The year of the dragon only ends in 9 Feb 2013!

[Stellastar60]

@TubeElephant I am pretty sure that they planned the whole thing!!! That they were gonna release it in 2012.

[MysterF25]

I strongly advice for a title change maybe into "Release and Open Beta ANNOUNCED: Later this year"! otherwise your credibility will suffer.

Floryn.

[epicnidhogg]

misleading title, fucker

[TheDrkieran]

<3 you Tube! you keep me up to date and very very very happy hope to see your gameplay videos of guildwars 2 :)

[sKiiTs8]

How do we participate Tube ? ( for the beta ?)

[Akeche]

@sKiiTs8 You don't, not yet. February is for select press only. So... basically none of the 'unofficial' GW2 channel people. TotalHalibut will likely get a chance to do it though, hopefully they'll allow footage.

[DemonTheRapper]

yaaay this time ppl plz record it in game

[Shitkuhadouken]

@DemonTheRapper they're not allowed to record in game, they have a privacy agreement.



[PointlessCast]

@Shitkuhadouken you mean a NDA!

You may record, but you shall not reveal anything during the time NDA is active.

[iPwnYorFace]

@DemonTheRapper press gets access to beta during Feb. You can count on coverage XD

[sKiiTs8]

fuckk yes!

[Epicskillz56]

yayayy

[deathorama]

Wait whut RLY?? =D

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooopwooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooop
