Guild Wars 2: ArenaNet's MMO Manifesto [HD]

[Toelishness]

If the last minute of this video proves that their is still hope left for PC gaming.

[GrayCamaro1]

@27sanderm They are Oakhearts

[MPExclusiveBeatz]

ASURA FTW!!!!!

[27sanderrm]

Can someone tell me what those things are at 3:05?

[FknAwsomePoff]

@27sanderrm I dont know but ive seen them in action in a gameplay vid, they do slow attacks that trows the player back and falls, so you get kinda stunned. Luckily you can dodge but they have pretty high health so you might get hit a few times =)

[Sexyboy2226]

BEST. GAME. EVAH.

[TheSUBGAMER]

this game has FUCKING GUNS!!!! jeeee

[snobeee]

Man, everytime I watch this and it gets to the final scenes with the Shatterer dragon coming down, I just think 'Fuck you WoW, your ruling days are numbered!'

[TheRickyice1]

is guild war 2 out or naw please comment me

[FknAwsomePoff]

@TheRickyice1 No its not released, they dont have a release date for it yet, they are thinking closed beta before 2012 and depending on how that goes they will place the release, you should be happy they dont have a distributor hanging over them crushing their ideas cause they are time consuming and such.

They have all the time in the world to create the best game ever!

[BurniO123]

wow this is so totally going to kick ass !

[Aganiel]

In my opinion, Warcraft has gone and slipped down a slippery slope. Guild wars 2 is a descendant of more than 6 years thinking, creating, watching and waiting. Eventually, I believe that this might be the biggest menace WoW has ever faced. Not just 'cause it looks awesome, and is free to play. But because what I see here, is people who make a game that actually give a damn about their players and fanbase.

On a sidenote.... Charr FTW <3

[Sleepie101]

Please be good

[ssbobbyh1]

I think we're gonna need bigger swords.

[TehRice]

oh shet

[UndyingLusts]

I want the BGM for this video!



[SxeScotty]

funnyhow people say Guild Wars is ripping off WoW. When WoW and the first Guild Wars had the same time development cycle, it came out like 2 months after wow did zzzz...

[CountessGizelle]

ArenaNet kicked some butt on this one! I'm so glad

[CountessGizelle]

the new frontier of MMOs Thank God!

[spree2009]

Embrace the game, the first of its kind that has a chance beating WoW from its Nr. 1 place. With a solid long never ending story this might work out well

[james501001]

hey guys did city sieges exist in guild wars? like in wow or warhammer?

[ZotKryis]

@james501001 No they didn't. There were no opposing faction played by players. It was all humans, where the factions were Guilds....and they did nothing in the world, other than take over some outposts which isn't really world PvP centered. It was centered on earning points from battlegrounds.

[Nemui89]

1:31 "I swung a sword, I swung a sword again, HEE-EE-Y I swung it again, that's great !"

gotta love Colin Johanson ^^

[512Slinky]

Who's up for kicking some dragon butt when GW2 comes out? I sure am :))

[salle132]

WoW SuX!!!!!

[crazyjavi87]

oh sush you and enjoy the soon to be awesome. Hopefully soon. Ign better be lieing to me and this game doesn't come out next november. please.

[Jugganaut5826]

Almost every mmo is a copy of D&D including wow. So if your gonna try and say somethings being copied get the real origin right.

[TheApostle344]

5:00.... NIIICEEE KITTYYY FRIENNDLLLYY KITTY!! YOU WOULDNT KILL US WOULD YOU.... NOO wereYOUR FRIENDS!!

[TheMonotonousBastard]

@D4rkg0dz you must've been afk while this trailer was playing

[animelovingfreak]

NCsoft?

[LeonZapphire]

@animelovingfreak NCsoft is the publisher while the makers of GW2 is ArenaNet.

[animelovingfreak]

@LeonZapphire That's going to suck then.

[LeonZapphire]

@animelovingfreak What is? o.O lol

[animelovingfreak]

@LeonZapphire The fact that NCsoft is invovled in any way. :o

[LeonZapphire]

@animelovingfreak lol NCsoft is just the publisher though.

[animelovingfreak]

@LeonZapphire I know. I was kidding around.

[LeonZapphire]

@animelovingfreak Well I can't tell when you were because there are loads of people that do believe NCsoft has something to do with what they put in the game. lol

[Kelly1991gw]

@LeonZapphire

It has nothing to do with developing GW2. your "loads of people believe..." has nothing to do with reality.

[LeonZapphire]

@Kelly1991gw Dude, that's what I was saying. I'm saying that there's loads of dumb people that believe NCSoft has something to do with what ArenaNet put in the game, but the truth is that they don't. They're just the publishers.

[crazyjavi87]

@animelovingfreak Areanet is developing, not NCsoft. Get your GW facts straight boy.

[animelovingfreak]

@crazyjavi87 I got my facts straight, read what I said then re-evaluate what you just said. Then come back and give me a better insult. kthxbai

[AnubisTheMystic]

Guild Wars 2 shall be so damn epic

[feilongliu]

@D4rkg0dz gtfo u fking idiot , wow is boring as fk i deleted that shit after i played the game for 1 hours

[crazyjavi87]

And ten seconds into GW2 someone will discover builds for every class and everyone will use them and will not let anyone into their party unless they have that exact build

[DELTA38g]

@crazyjavi87 lolwut

[LeonZapphire]

@crazyjavi87 Unlike the original GW, the game of GW2 has everyone unlocking skills as you progress in the game (or find them through masters/ancient tomes/etc). And it's not a matter of quantity of skills or balancement like in the first, it's about quality so every skill would be of great help. The first 5 skills on the left of the hp bubble are decided by the type of wep you wield, the 5 on the right are customizable and whatever you pick well help you or others by loads.

[WFTNelliel]

Sure -.-" you dont even need to be in a party to participate in an event or quest or boss killing going on... so fuck you you got no idea about anything

[LeonZapphire]

@WFTNelliel Who are you talking to by the way? o.O

[WFTNelliel]

Dont remember, probably a guy hating on guild wars and saying no know would be able to find groups xD

[iamafrendoffiend]

wait, they say they dont want people to grind? i remember: you need to be atleast rank 6 in the sunspear rank to continue talk to bounty givers and VQ fucking areas till you have that title....

[DellionNL]

@iamafrendoffiend

.. Never had any grind. Yeh, you had to be that sunspear rank but it wasn't the only quest. Otherwise you are just a fag.

[LeonZapphire]

@iamafrendoffiend Only Nightfall had that issue however you were easily able to get that rank with quests, so there was never any grind for me. You must have skipped or missed out on some easy quests.

[TheMonotonousBastard]

@iamafrendoffiend thats if u want to go for titles. it all comes down to choice

[ApplesauceBandit]

I really don't see why there needs to be any game bashing or player bashing. If you don't like WoW don't play it, don't insult people for playing it, It's their money they have a right to spend it how they want. It shouldn't matter to anyone here what other games people play, not everyone has to share your interests.

On a side note, i Canceled my WoW Cataclysm pre-order to play GW2. lol

[ARSP33LS]

go to gw2fans channel, he has tons of video of game play that was captured as people played the demo in cologne, germany at gamescon, where GW2 also won Best MMO

[Onb3k3nd3]

@ARSP33LS thx for the tip.

[theacolyte]

I jizzed. Tenfold.

[feryar]

I'll play this, but judging from the comments on most of the videos about GW2 on youtube I'll just have to turn off any kind of chat channels that come with it in order to preserve my sanity. It definetely looks different from WoW, but it seems it will have the same playerbase of drooling morons.

That's fine though, if the game is fun to play it doesn't really matter who else is playing it. Lots of people here should touch ground and realize that. Don't be so goddamn insecure about yourselves.

[IFear4You]

I hope everyone who thinks this copies wow gets cancer and dies. Slowly... Tomorrow... Guild Wars 2 is unique and it would be awesome if as soon as some bitch opens their mouth with the words "World of Warcraft" just catch on fire and abruptly die. Fuck you if you're a wowfag. Stay away from Gw2 content.

[TheMonotonousBastard]

@IFear4You even better when they open their mouths they see this video clockwork orange-style

[DELTA38g]

I know that there's traits and stuff, but there still are attributes. I can't seel to find the answer on my question: "Will you be able to edit your attributes like you can do in GuildWars?" I know you can always edit your traits, what about attributes?

[Stragolore]

@DELTA38g there aren't any attributes because skills are based on you weaponry and i think they are improved by your level and traits that are linked

[DELTA38g]

@Stragolore There are also attributes, and I have just read that you can change them, but I still don't know if its by talking to an npc or if you can do it anytime when out of combat.

[TheMarukeru]

@DELTA38g It has been stated on the Guildwars2 website that you will be able to make changes out of combat, without a need to go to an NPC. Thus, you can make every battle a different style of combat for yourself.

[Stragolore]

i wonder where the planetarium sun crystal place is at 00:26

[DELTA38g]

@eNLivEx Recent blog from Arenanet about gamescon: ...Guild Wars 2 has just been awarded Best Online Game for gamescom 2010!

We’ve been eager to show off Guild Wars 2 for the first time at gamescom, and the response from fans to the hands-on demo has been overwhelmingly positive. This is our opportunity to demonstrate that all of the features we’ve been talking about for the past few months are real, not just hype, and we’re gratified that fans have really enjoyed playing the demo...

[pyrix]

God damn I want that main theme with the horns' MP3 XD most fucking epic theme ever.

[DELTA38g]

@eNLivEx You are not better for using a religion as an insult and calling ppl names just because they like the next generation best mmorpg. There is more ppl here that get annoyed by you then by him. Calling me randomly a weaboo won't change it.

[DELTA38g]

@eNLivEx Then perhaps you should buy the game, play it and see for yourself instead of bitching about it.

[DELTA38g]

@eNLivEx Also, it IS a good game, even if you like it or not, you can't change the fact how many ppl love it. Just because you don't like it, it's your problem. Playing a game doesn't give away your age.

[DELTA38g]

@eNLivEx Tons of people play Gw1, I have alot of friends playing it, and there is countless ppl who even play it for 5 years.

[DELTA38g]

@eNLivEx Offending christians? Waw, that must make you such an hero now.

You know that even GuildWars1 was better then Wow, so go play your own game and stop whining already.

[DELTA38g]

@eNLivEx First of all, we don't need to have played the game with the freaking gameplay in front of our eyes.

Anyway, there is a demo coming out today wich will make you stop whining perhaps?

[MasakoXer]

@eNLivEx

dude, you're the one who said it looks like shit to begin with.

That told me that when you saw whatever you "saw" in this trailer, that it was going to be a complete failure.

I pointed out that your fcking wrong.

[MasakoXer]

@eNLivEx

maybe you should read my other comment?

[MasakoXer]

@eNLivEx Here's what Gw2 will have: 2 types of PvP. New Weapons. 10 skills slots. Underwater exploration. Graphics improved. Interesting combos. More animations. Etc Etc Etc. Now if your telling me that all this shit above isn't improvement from gw1, then I don't know what the fuck is. yeah, I admit, gw1 had some flaws, and some of it was boring. But you can't say something is shit if it hasn't even been released yet.

[MasakoXer]

@eNLivEx

who gives a shit?

relying on what?

What, you mean hard work doesn't count for everything?

Listen dude, go play your little WoW, for however the hell many sequels there are and shut the fuck up. You come along to this vid and the first thing to said was "this looks like shit"...really dude, were you blind at that moment? Or were you just drunk. You're calling me a 12 year old when that was the most stupid thing to say about a perfectly good game...

AND a perfectly good company.

[MasakoXer]

@eNLivEx

really dude, just because you suck in taste, that doesn't mean you can spread it on the web, no one needs to know. k?

[MasakoXer]

@eNLivEx

I'm 12? what, do you spy on me or some shit?

I don't even play CoD. I was just using that as a joke to say that now that GW has guns it will almost be like CoD, or Red Dead Redemption.

And what the fuck is "APB"? Sounds like some kind of STD. Whatever it is, it probably deserved to die and will never match up to GW.

And how can you say that a company who has worked on something for a long time will be a failure. They are obviously working hard if it takes THIS long.

[MasakoXer]

@eNLivEx

What the hell makes you think that this game will not be a very big success. Answer that question. Please.

How can it NOT be a sucess when they have been working on it for so long?

A-net is a good company. They have GUNS in this game now. wooooww. :P

Now, its going to be a GW COD game. How badass is that?

Like I said before, gtfo or watch this video again.

[Theperyton272]

@eNLivEx You'll take that back:)

[MasakoXer]

@eNLivEx

and so does your family.

So get the fuck out of here or watch the video again.

[MasakoXer]

@eNLivEx

This is what GW2 looks like. RIGHT HERE. In this video...

And what the hell are you talking about "unknown company", wtf is a unknown company? If it was an "unknown" company, they probably wouldn't be allowed to make games. Maybe you should look at this video again.

Try and feel the epicness of it. Become one with the epic. Ok?

[JakubAnalysis]

I had multiple orgasms through this video. From the sound of the trumpets to the roar of the Purple Lightning Dragon... 987,029,573 to be exactt.

[lpsasuke]

Never have I ever seen a company that has cared so much about their games, put so much time and effort into pure perfection, than Arenanet. If you have played Guild Wars 1 and still do not believe that this company is not capable of making the greatest MMO of all time, then you have not played it enough. I will be buying whatever overpriced Collectors Edition this game comes out with, simply as a thank you to ArenaNet for crafting a gem such as Guild Wars.

[Floreum]

@eNLivEx Besides, I highly enjoyed the first Guild Wars, and so did many others. It got good reviews from both critics and players. Natal is bullshit because they promised so much and stripped down a lot of what was promised to be, but I can assure you these guys aren't pulling a Natal. These guys do take the flaws on MMO's seriously, they also aren't looking at what makes a MMORPG and looked at first person shooters and GTA series and why they're so great. I believe in these guys.

[Floreum]

@eNLivEx Unknown? Based on what facts? They have a strong art team and get a lot of awards for their art every year. They have 250+ artists on their team, and they're still hiring more. The founder, Mike O'Brian from Blizzard, he worked on Battle.net and Starcraft, Warcraft, and Diablo series before leaving because of WoW's direction was going in. The only games they have made are 4 Guild Wars games, yes, but that doesn't make them unknown.

[DollShock]

@eNLivEx since when is anet unknown?

[pure9933]

wait did WOW just get beaten???!?!?!?!? That cant be possible!!!!!!! BUT OH YES IT IS WOW JUST GOT BUTT F' ed BY Guild War 2, and i already pre-ordered it!

[Floreum]

@eNLivEx But why? Because the game is too different from your average click-to-attack game? The replacement of quests system for the dynamic system? Battle system?

Or is the story part that turns you off (which is optional)?

[requiemaura]

You have no idea how many anti social victims this title will claim on release,it will be like a toy car in your arse,you know it's there but there seems to be nothing you can do about it.

[DELTA38g]

Because you don't have to endlessly grind? Because there are more player combos? Because it has a great story? Or maybe because you always get to do different quests every time you make a new character instead of doing the same quests every time?

Or is it to realistic that when the enemy attacks a city, the city gets destroyed and stays destroyed? I see you preffer cheap shit like WoW.

[requiemaura]

@DELTA38g I will look for you on the field,a seasoned mind like yours i'd be honoured to party with you xD

[DELTA38g]

@requiemaura I will join to fight by your side whenever I will see you in trouble.

[Floreum]

@DELTA38g I'd like to correct you on the "stays destroyed" bit. You can help rebuild the city, but it could get destroyed again if you don't protect it. It will rebuild without your help anyways.

[ContradictingFactors]

@DELTA38g "Cheap shit like WoW" 15 bucks a month is cheaper than free?

[DELTA38g]

@ContradictingFactors Rofl xD I didn't mean that like in how much it costs, What I mean is that it looks like shit compared to GW2...or even GW1... or even all other MMo's. You like non-stop grinding with nintendo64 pixels? Hell I don't.

[Junmaster4]

@ContradictingFactors Joke right?

[ThiVasss]

@DELTA38g u forgot the no monthly fee... is very very important aspect...only the half and less would buy this game if had monthly fees :)

[TheMisantrop09]

@DELTA38g when a city gets destroyed , it will be ok after a few weeks i think.... or not? dont you think if they would STAY DESTROYED , this would be really shity? but its still cool if it stays destroyed for like 1-2 weeks

[DELTA38g]

@TheMisantrop09 As far as I know, the city stays destroyed, but the players can rebuild the city.

[TheMisantrop09]

@DELTA38g ah , you see , thats what i mean!

OH , I will so buy this game , i hope they dont release it to late in the year...

[ASwedishDude]

@DELTA38g Well, WoW wasn't cheap – it may be now, but it was truly the first MMO to revolutionize the industry of MMO's. I'd even say WoW was the first real MMO, at least the biggest one. Now that that's done, other companies are also trying to revolutionize the industry, such as ArenaNet. WoW was the best, but Blizzard still is the best. Blizzard are keeping Diablo, Warcraft and WoW alive. They are even working on new games, ones that will overcome all their previous games.

[FknAwsomePoff]

@ASwedishDude In 2004 WoW was idd the best MMO out there and it really did set the bar for all other MMOs, Guildwars is merely improving what they started since theirs is still the same after 7 years. Tossing out the ideas they had that did not work like grind and they are even removing the Holy Trinity

[DELTA38g]

@eNLivEx You can't say it has bad graphics after having seen this video, you are obviously trolling.

[DELTA38g]

@eNLivEx Yup, keep on trollin.

[xOverXLordx]

thumbs up if you jizzed your pants @ boss part

[FoxPromise]

OMG DEATHWING!

[pivotue]

@FoxPromise stfu

[FoxPromise]

@pivotue WHYUMAD?!

[pivotue]

@FoxPromise because accusing every game of copying wow makes you a douche

[FoxPromise]

@pivotue BUT ITS DEATHWING

[Theperyton272]

@pivotue That sums it up very well

[DELTA38g]

@eNLivEx Trollolololo

[DELTA38g]

You can't disagree that this is a million times better then the boring WoW

[crazyjavi87]

This looks...very....very awesome. I don't mind being re-addicted to guild wars again.

[9Snowman1]

for all those wondering, YES, you can jump. The game has a z-axis so features like jumping and swimming are in the game.

[EndalausRaun]

@9Snowman1 This is just nitpicking, but you walk along the x- and z-axes and jump along the y-axis.

[pivotue]

@EndalausRaun wtf? no it's not! x-y are walking and z is jumping! learn your fucking maths before "nitpicking"

[b00sh]

That dragon at the end can SUCK MY DICK!

[immanueldk92]

@b00sh rofl

[Coldbrand]

@eNLivEx Your face looks shit.

[Ujikaweapon1]

Wait, so if I like and dislike MMOs, I'll really want to check out Guild Wars?

[DELTA38g]

@Ujikaweapon1 Yes.

[RussianDeathWorm]

God damn it, I really wish that I didn't want this game so badly. I don't need to get addicted to an MMO again, I had a bad experience with WoW in 2005/2006.

[Sykskar]

.. but can you jump?

[DELTA38g]

@Sykskar Yes.

[Tomsonx232]

can you jump? Thats all I want to know.

[Epistothic]

@Tomsonx232 yes.

[supermanunc]

@Tomsonx232 Yes, the game now has a z-axis.

[domokun4160]

they say no grinding all the time.

but I'll still buy it

[demonhunt683]

looks epic can't wait I hope they manage to pull off all of this, glad they are taking their time as well best games have the longest release date

[heyzuzchocolate]

OOOOOOOMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGG. Next comes the WoW recall. lol
