  • so what happens if theres someone taking advantage of the system say kill 1 bandit and just walks around/pretending to be afking while other ppl finishes the event, everyone still receives the same reward?

  • @MrMeNace231 they cant because rewards are based on participation .. you only get the max rewards if participate enough to get the gold medal ..if you dont you will get silver or bronze which results in less rewards.

    the afk ppl would probably get bronze which is not even worth it..

  • hell yea my money is already spent on this game

    

  • Level 80. Yeah.... I THINK I'M FUCKING BUYING THIS GAME! Just take my money already! Just take it, just take it!

  • I'm so excited for open beta (hoping i get in). I am so ready to spend endless hours creating my character.

  • i liek charr.

  • Elder dragons have awakened after thousands of years and have corrupted most of tyria?

    Not gonna lie it sounds pretty skyrim to me.

  • @DontGetRuude

    no, skyrim sounds pretty GW.

    the dragons have been a rather major theme in the lore since the first game, long before skyrim, besides, GW2 was in development before skyrim was aswell.

    bethesda dont own dragons, they're very common mythological creatures

  • @DontGetRuude GW2 was in development with this theme SINCE the beginning of the series. Get your facts straight

  • @DontGetRuude

    It doesn't sound like skyrim at all. it sounds like the classic dragon war story. Pretty common for an rpg. Divinity 2 came way before skyrim and the plot involved dragons that were supposed to be extinct (or almost extinct) and a hero who joins the dragon slayers: a group of warriors with dragon blood that have been fighting/hunting down the dragons since ancient times. Sounds familiar to you?

  • I heard there will be no open beta and the release approx in june?

    common... really? :S

  • @affenbrotbaumse yeah, only its going to release

  • Arena net just take my money already!

  • 229 days of suffering for GW2 realese maybe

  • Perhaps i missed it, but i didnt hear him talk about rewards for big random events with lots of random players joining in. Are they just completed for a large XP boost, or does it give loot? if yes then who gets the loot? :o

  • @Ondskemannen you get karma, karrrrrrrma. Look at all this kaarrrrrrrrrrma :p

    No seriously, you geht karma, a non tradeable currency as a reward for completing varius tasks (including dynamic events) - this karma can than be exchanged for special equipment.

  • @wwwWARTOWERde Aaahh! i see, thanks for clarifying. :)

  • @Ondskemannen Everyone get's the loot. So long as you participated you get rewarded

  • Sehr nett von euch das ihr für uns so viel Video material besorgt habt.

    Ich als GW2 Fan habe es genossen es mir an zu sehn.

    Danke!

  • What I don't get about Dynamic events is that if they are always happening wouldn't that mean that for a player to progress they would just come across half finished events and miss a good chunk of what they are about? Or have to wait for it to reset depending on what it is? Like a quest you get told to do something and you go do it, but with this how do you advance in the game if they are random or stoppable. I'm sure it will work but I just want to know. I like the sound of it though.

  • @OfficialOmegaVoX

    if you come across an event thats in progress you would just join in and help, if you see a village on fire you dont need a long quest dialogue to tell you to grab some water and help put it out, its that simple and also they dont reset.

    for instance, a town gets attacked by bandits, if you fail to defend it the town will become occupied by the bandits and you might then need to help take back control of the town or in the case of the fire you might need to help rebuild

  • @OfficialOmegaVoX

    the events just go on around the world, following event chains, one thing leading to another, you can level through a zone a number of time and have different experiences because the events will be at different stages.

    you cant stop them. as long as you helped out even slightly you will be rewarded, more so if you were there from the start.

  • @OfficialOmegaVoX no, the events are pretty self explanitory. The title is usely a very good indecator and there will be NPC's running around that will be able to explain in detail if you want on whats going on and why something is happening. Dont worry, ArenaNet covered their bases :)

  • 21 WoW fans can't admit the facts.

  • Do they have a release date? Or is there a predicted one?

  • thanks for reply-i just canc sub for TOR i wont go into reasons--now i wait for this and diablo3

  • Anyone else notice he said Sex for no reason at 00:02

  • @CorruptedSins

    he said sechs, as in the number 6 in german.

  • Anybody know the requirements for the game?

  • @Poptartman8869 You won't need an awesome pc to run gw2 with good graphics because one of the developers said that they rely on their artist to get wonderful texture.

  • How bigs the world say compared to wow so I can get an idea.

  • @chongo666 A random person on some site forum said about GW2 1.5 time larger than WoW. He compared base on with various things from running spd, height of characters, magic range, flat land with no hills and etc. But of couse it may not be true cuz GW2 is not even released yet. He did by available info. Nevertheless, GW2 will be larger just because underwater is explorable.

  • Ghostly armor? :D

  • i love it already!

  • open beta is in march

  • @MrAmonus they recenly clarified there will be no open beta as such. They will have larger and larger beta events (think weekends), but no unlimited free-for-all beta.

  • @Naqaj officially announced on guild wars 2 website... it will be an open beta, no other deatils announced yet

  • @MrAmonus read the announcement again. It will NOT be open. The community manager specifically clarified that in a separate post after the announcement.

  • @Naqaj We recently finished our first closed beta test, and we’re now ready to hold progressively larger events. In February we’ll invite select press to participate in beta testing, and in March and April ***we’ll aggressively ramp up the size of our beta test*** events so that many of you will have a chance to participate. And of course, this all leads to the release of Guild Wars 2 later this year.

  • @MrAmonus read it carefully: beta events with increasing numbers of participants. Not open beta. Clarification by Martin Kerstein: "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."

  • @Naqaj ok you win :D

  • @MrAmonus I totally wish you were right ;)

  • Hey DeBussy ^^ bist du jetzt eigentlich in der Closed Beta drinne gewesen? ^^ Wenn ja, wann kannst du uns ein paar Infos geben? =P

  • Only thing I'm worried about is readability. In the group portion of the charr portion of the demo, there is so many skill effects going off, it's kinda hard to differentiate enemies from friendly players.

  • @MrMrTravman

    well allot of abilities are ground targetted, that makes it easier, if you've noticed ground targeted abilities have a sort of chalk outline around them, if the AOE is beneficial the line will be blue, if its harmful it will be red and if it doesn't effect you it will be white.

  • Haha i love the "Uhmm" starting at 06:30 haha. Man he need to cut out that rubbish! Uhm.. Uhm.. Uhm.. haha!

  • 42:11 Look Like grandmother !!!

  • R: Ozzy did you know tkat GW2 is comming over?

    O: Great news maaan!

    R: Would you still play WoW?

    O: WTF is WoW?

  • Is this just on PC or Mac as well?

  • @yos2481

    Just on PC. You could install Windows on a different partition (with boot camp assistant) if you´ve got a Mac and a windows install dvd.

  • Only dislike for me is the camera not following strafe

  • One thing I really don't understand ... if dynamic events are so random and unpredictible, why is it so easy to stumble on one of them? Or am I missunderstanding something?

    I might have missed something he said 'coz I don't speak english that well haha

    Cheerz from Brazil.

  • @jkpsimplicio Because they are - simply put - everywhere. Dynamic Events are in Guild Wars 2 what "Quests" are in common MMOs. Ordinary Quests are completely replaced by this new Dynamic Event System, which will provide the main source of "open world" PvE content (as opposed to instanced PvE content i.e. dungeons).

  • @wwwWARTOWERde They say there is currently over 1500+ in the game... this was several months ago they said this. So prob over 2000 now. But the game is so big they said if you roll alts you most probably won't see the same dynamic events

  • @Godalo118 To put it in some perspective: Word of Warcraft and Guild Wars (1) launched with aproximately 1500 quests in their original releases (Vanilla/Prophecies) - that was more than enough to bring you from level 1 to WoW:60 GW:20 and keep you (and your alts) entertained for a while. DEs in GW2 will cycle - so if you enjoyed a particular event once, and you stumble upon it again, noone prevents you from doing it again. That saves GW2 the trouble with daily-quests like WoW/GW1.

  • @wwwWARTOWERde Since those events cycle through various stages (influenced by time, day-night-cycle and player participation - or the lack of it) it is next to impossible (but the wiki guys will try :)) to predict 'when' 'which' event will occur in 'what' stage. So if YOU venture through an area with your first charakter, chances are very high it looks greatly different, when you venture through it again, or with an alt - because the events have changed cycles.

  • @wwwWARTOWERde On a site note about daily quests: since daily quests are obsolete with ever ready events nearby, that will not expire no matter how often one has already competet it, ArenaNet has implemented a system named "daily feats" - with this you get extra rewards for the first couple of "cleared content" (PvE/DE/Dungeons/PvP etc.). The ultimate goal behint this system is to narrow the gap between the casuals and the hardcore players. Dont worry:Pros will still be way ahead.

  • @jkpsimplicio Dynamic Events are unpredictable in the sense that you will not get the same kind of event very often. They DO happen often, but not the same ones over and over. There are an extreme amount of them

  • @jkpsimplicio There are too many of them for people who like to explore, it's a good thing for them.

  • Driver Quizshow.

  • Hmm the bow damage of a warrior is very low ? if u compare it with dual 1h?

  • @Mystiqu311 Thats because of increased survivablity of range?

  • I'm addicted to GW2 and I haven't even played it yet.

  • WHY IT TAKES SO MUCH TIME TO RELEASE THIS GAME OMGAWD !!?!?!?!?!?! I CANT WAIT HURR DURR !!!!!!! I WANT TO PLAY 10 HOURS/DAY LIKE I DID WITH WORLD OF WARCRAFT HERP DEPR !!!!!!! I DONT HAVE A LIFE , LET ME PLAY IT PL0X !!!!

  • nice you get to fight deathwing at level 1 in the tutorial!

    

  • @eohandrew wtf are you talking about?

  • @PhilGerb93 well if you look at about 15.00 you get to fight some big hands with adds coming from the ground is that not akin to death wing?

  • I thought if a higher player went to a lower leveled area, it would scale down so he wouldn't stomp everything? Is that not true, or is that something that works in the actual game and not this demonstration?

  • cool, dankeschön ;)

  • I watch this video all day every day

  • Rofl moment when the player decides its more important to water plants when he is on fire

  • I love the combat system. Im tired of just standing still as an induction caster and spamming whatever I have

  • i really can't wait to play this. hope i meet alot of you online :)

  • Why is this white guy speaking fucking Arabic???

  • does any1 know when they will release the release date!?!

  • @mogogrog

    It`s TBA

  • Is ther mounts in this game?

  • @Aznganxter1 nope

    but thats ok its still gonna be epic

  • @Aznganxter1 No. There won't be mounts

  • @Aznganxter1 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOO not at release and i hope thez dont add them !

  • WOW get ready to meet your death

  • TSW or GW2, hm.... GW2 or TSW... hm... you two, shut up and take my money.

  • they dropped the cap to 10. fail

  • @popFORfresh what cap?

  • @maartenvdvegt level cap

  • @popFORfresh level cap is not dropped

  • take all the time you need developers, anything this good is worth the wait no matter how long.

  • So you go outside town. Rocks and trees are sucked up in a huge whirlwind. ATTACK!!!!!!

  • @anbrugm pretty normal day in guildwars :D

  • I think the "Jizz in my pants" joke is appropriate here.

  • This game is going to make my wife mad. Doubt I notice though... goodbye social life hello beer gut!

  • oh, bandits lit me on fire... better water the crops

  • watch?v=g-wPHRE-z54&feature=pl­ayer_embedded

    MESMER LEAKED

  • @EndOfKevin829 Going to be awesome! Hopefully its coming Q1!

  • @RobTzu

    if it doesn't come Q1 they definitely fucked it up big time, no doubt about that

  • @geekos1 I seriously doubt it comes out Q 1, i'd be looking for it at Q 2 or even Q 3

  • @geekos1 goodluck getting it released in Q1. I think release is earliest late Q2 latest early Q4.

  • oh my god, i need a new set of underwear...

  • what you should be able to do is party up with you other characters on your account and play along side them

  • Can you play with Xbox 360 controller anyone know?

  • @ShroomMasta2009 why would you want to.. get outta here console lover

  • @MrAmonus Click to play W S D is old school boy go back to 2000 Most mmorpgs use xbox 360 controller now tell your mom I enjoyed her sucking my balls as well :D

  • @ShroomMasta2009 how would you use the skills? or the weapon switch and the inventory and attunement change and all that? (I am in no way attacking you, I am just curious)

  • @nikiforos6 you use inventory and stuff like that on your keyboard like you always would. For skills there are 12. Right of course.. there are 4 buttons red yellow blue green. Regular skills right hand side press RB Go threw the 4 again. that is 8 now there is RT button and the 4 that is 12 plus easy movement between the buttons basically you just press the buttons like you would on any game and just use rb and RT to go threw skills like dragon nest.

  • @ShroomMasta2009 clever. thnx for explaining. i might try it :)

  • @nikiforos6 Im guessing you havent been playing all the really new games that use the xbox 360 controller once you get use to it and see you have to use the keyboard wsd or point and click you are sorta like this sucks.... OLD SCHOOL lol heh....

  • i dont think this will kick wow off its throne it will just reduce its popularity, SWTOR is disappointing and i was looking so forward to that, may give GW2 a go but it doesnt seem that promising either :(

  • @philessexuk Personally, there is no doubt in my mind that Gw2 will become a successful game, but I wouldn't say that it would be the reason WoW would "go down" as I don't think that game will fail due to a single game. If anything, it will die in time as the mmorpg genre advances, and I do think Gw2 along with a few other games before it are the start of that.

    Not that this hasn't happened before though, considering the mmo giant before WoW was EQ I believe. This sort of thing always happens.

  • GW2 is gonna boot WoW off it's throne

  • "HURR MY MMO IS TEH BEST!' "NO MINE IS!' Who fucking cares what mmo is the best? Why does there have to be a best? Just pick which one appeals to you the most and play it And even if there is a best one, its not going to make the others go away I mean even as successful as wow is there are still plenty of other mmo's Everquest is still around, Rift, Eve, GW1, Aion, DCUO fuck even Runescape is still around If even Runescape still has people playing it I think theres hope for any mmo

  • @mcandymadman Absolutelly right. But think about this: How many players (in millions) does Aion have? and now, tell me about WoW? There is the difference. Of course, as a player, me and everyone else will get the game that suits them the most, however, a comparison is always done in order to know the social impact of the game in this case. I loved WoW, not now, I love above all GW1 and hope to see GW2 asap. And this game is gonna kick some asses. Happy new year to everyone!

  • this game is gay theres no pandas

  • YES MY BODY IS READY!

  • WoW will not die. Every time an expansion or a new game comes out, people always think this. WoW is the biggest MMO, and always will be.

  • @EpicXL the only difference is that this kicks ass and has no sub fee so yeah

  • @EpicXL WOW freak much?

  • you all are totatlly wrong, its definitely not going to kill WoW

    Mists of Pandaria will...

  • @erzlektorglokta WoW is done bro... Its outdated and yet they still continue to come out with garbage expansions that f**k up the original storyline... Panda's.... Are you f**king serious... Blizzard has lost their bloody minds... What they are doing to WoW is just as bad as what twilight did to vampires... Fuck twilight and fuck Blizzard! So ready for a new MMORPG to revamp what we've all been wanting to see... And I believe GW2 will be that game

  • @Charles87sf the engien will rock

  • @Charles87sf you guys expect way too many from a F2P mmo... Star wars the old republic will be the best mmo in 2012 in my opinion.

    why? cause the gameplay is amazing , the story is amazing , and it''s breaking every pre order record.

    + it''s star wars;)

  • @steffelaarThe first GW was F2P and it was great bro! I'll agree with you that Star Wars is badass and hopefully the game will be alright... But if you watch any video of it at all you'll see that the graphics are definitely outdated... And if we're talking storyline: I still think GW2's personalized storyline, dynamic events and changing environments based on our decisions, is going to outdo anything available or soon to be released.

  • @Charles87sf i know , i played gw1 for 5 years in total , had multiple "costly"weapons.

    true what you say bout gw2 , i will so love that game for sure.

    though i will share it with st tor.

    both games are my most beloved games.

    i love star wars stuff , have every movie/game so far

    and i love guild wars , for this simple fact. it was so social compared to other mmo's.

    it was actually fun to play together, and on for instance wow. you can't really relax while playing together

  • @steffelaar SWTOR looks to be the 2nd best MMO in my opinion, but I still easily prefer GW2, and not because it's B2P. Even if it was P2P I would prefer it. SWTOR seems too much like WoW, even though it has many, many improvements. GW2 still seems to do something new and fresh. And I know and trust Arenanet: if they spend years and years building an MMO, I know it's going to be fantastic.

  • @KimboRamboFin rift brougth alot of new things to the MMO genre , and so did Aion. yet those games were not able to compete with WoW , but yes i do believe gw2 will have more players then SW, but both games will own. but both games will differently own.

    the PvP of gw1 was really fun , and was a new thing in mmo's.

    the pvp of most mmo's are the same , you just kill you're enemy for points and this way you win.

    for instance HoH(hall of heroes) took alot of strategic , this is what made gw

  • @steffelaar Personally I think GvG is the most strategic form of PvP and the heart of Guild Wars. But yeah, GW1's PvP is totally awesome. I still think SWTOR will have more players than GW2 (unfortunately) at least in the beginning. And btw Rift and Aion never brought anything new "gamechanging" features to MMO's. GW2 will.

  • @KimboRamboFin not game changing true , aion brough us flight fighting, rift brougth us rift events.

    both of these made the game how they were.

  • @steffelaar aion has rift fights too... perfect world has wings too O_o...

  • @Charles87sf Easy man easy!.... without those Ex-Blizzard guys from Arenanet, Guild Wars 2 woudnt even exist.... so dont say sh!t like that, Blizzard must have lost there best producers in the time : /

  • @erzlektorglokta Hahaha indeed. I've got 10x85 chars, played WoW for 5 years, I puked with cataclysm, but Pandaria, that only makes me laugh. HA HA HA HA HA HA Blizzard have shot their own feet.

  • @erzlektorglokta That's what we call a perfect example of entropy.

  • @erzlektorglokta The only thing that can kill wow is wow itself. lolololololololol. But for reals i think that the mmo community will split between these two games. I see the games as very different experiences that don't necessarily compete.

  • @erzlektorglokta never herd of that game. so I think that tells you that GW2 will kill WoW

    or maybe they pull off a double team and both together wind up killing WoW, either way WoW is dead.

  • @SalesKital mists of pandaria is an expansion for WoW

    with panda's and china like content now i know this is really difficult to understand so ill explain in simple words

    Wow stole gw1 factions and watched way to much kungfu panda

  • @maartenvdvegt yet another reason GW and GW2 are better than WoW. I actually do hope to be able to get some Asian style outfits and such in GW2. I love Japanese language and culture, even if I can't read Japanese Kanji or other symbols yet.

  • @SalesKital i think you will definitly get some asian stuff later in GW2 i mean "cantha hasn't dissapeared from the map has it :D"

  • @erzlektorglokta ha good one

  • Comment removed

  • @erzlektorglokta no one gives a fuck about wow, its old and people are tired of it.

  • @erzlektorglokta Haaah, good one.

  • 00:03 'sex' :P

  • if any game was going to kill wow this is it

  • i have a question for every 1 .... is there a guild system and alliance like in gw1 ? and also with faction?

  • @darksoul3100 yes

  • are you going to be able to see other players outside the city?

  • @PasterOfPrupets yep. in GW1 everything was instanced based, the player got their very own copy of the map. now its a full world, just like many other mmo's, at a greater scale.

  • Love the game and all but I don't think it's morally right to make people wait for 4 years T.T

  • @AnotherDouche

    I understand that a deep game like this takes ALOT of time but I DO AGREE, holy crap give us the game already. if its not out in 2012, I will spazz. :/

  • and when is the demo gonna be released to the public

  • yea i wish u could just fight other players with just ur player against there player instead of everyone even or a week long event

  • @blackops452

    I heard there are going to be World PVP realms that allow you to level through PVP.

  • @hearourheartsbeat if you watch the second press demo... I will find the link in a bit, they describe that idea a little and that it will be a viable option... i jizzed my pants

  • @hearourheartsbeat yep ur right

  • Too bad you can't actually pvp beyond "pvp zones"

  • Let Me Play NAOWWWWWWWWW

    I know they need to fix the last little things but god i'm sooo thrilled to play it Im sick of Wow done everything possible This game looks so soo fucking good its insane

  • ehh either way.. maybe this will kill WoW, but blizzard's "project titan" will kill this

  • @prodigyx7 or it could be a flop to the people not interested in the sci-fi genre like myself and many others who are more interested in magical midevil type games or what not

  • @LostFaceify

    lol and people complain about change, when they recieve, and when they don't. I think a sci-fi mmo has great potential. Just like I think sc2 could do well in mmo form.

  • @WoWrapesGW2 Cool story bro. Have fun being a panda while we GW2 players are a part of the evolution of MMORPGS =)

  • my main issue about this game is the weapons and armor, is there going to be loads of people runninng around in the same armor sets? or will there be loads of different weapons and armor, like wow?

  • @JackBailey95 Of course there will be. The weapons will be even awesomer, take the ghastly armor set for example. ( A awesome piece of armor in GW2 ). During day it heals you. During night it glows and steals HP from enemies.

    There will also be Transmutation Stones. With those you can change the look of your armor by copying the look of another armor. You can also dye the armor, which you get to do in the beginning of the game.

  • @AWESOMEsupahh so will there be lots of different armor? i'm confident the armor will be awsome, just the variety of it?

  • @JackBailey95 I'm pretty sure so, in the release there will be 10 dungeons ( more to come in expansions and updates ) which all has their own set of armor that you can get by doing them. You can also get lots of armor by doing dynamic events and getting karma. You can also craft it. You can also get "traits" which you can add to your armor to give it diffrent stats.

  • @AWESOMEsupahh cheers man

  • @JackBailey95 Yes there will be lots of different armor and weapons. And due to transformation stones (in wow terms: transmogrification) EVERY (not only SET-Armor) piece of Armor in the game can be used for "endgame purposes" or just for fun - you decide what you want to wear, not what current "tier-set" is forced up opon you.
