Terrific interview and thanks for those clips at the start. I've been following the game but I had not yet seen a close-up showing bubbles coming for the character breathing mask.
It's great to see people who haven't heard about the game becoming so excited about it. ArenaNet is going for many changes that are long overdue in the MMO genre and they all make *perfect sense*. I think this game will really resonate with a broad range of gamer, not just the hardcore niche market.
ArenaNet is one of the developers that i actually am willing to support financially buy not only buying the game (as that will be mostly for myself) but paying for the micro-transactions and stuff that i might not need badly or even want that badly but think are cool to have and it can't hurt much to support such great guys and the games they create
@Lemileant so true with all the things to do in GW2 by the time u have done about half of it an expansion will probably be out unless u REALLY tick the game and even then it has alot of replay value for about everything even the dungeons so i agree with u 100%. I mean i don't even want to play another MMO right now because of what GW2 is offering i'm making do with games of other genres and my daily schedule to fill my day.
@Lemileant i agree i know the arena net team wouldn't mind people playing other games along with GW2 but because of how much they change up in GW2 i think i would find it hard to play an old style traditional MMO alongside it
wow is crap, you need to get playing more games if you think wow was ever good, GW2 looks really good but there are a few issues i dont like atm, one being no healer class but we'll see, fingers crossed it will rock!
@fefner30 i dont get it why are you bothered with no healer class ? everyone in GW2 can heal.. but some professions will be naturally better healers then other. so you can play a healer role all the time , but when a healer is not needed anymore you can switch to be a DPS during battle. i dont see any disadvantaged in this.
@keeganz1029 well, thats not entirely truth .. quote from GW2 site "For instance, an elementalist can support his allies by dropping down a ground-targeted healing rain that rejuvenates allies in an area. " sure i dont know how it will work in detail because i didnt play the game, obviously. but i believe you can be ..lets call it "supporter" and it will be very helpful. aoe heals, shields , buffs and so on. but yea, you cant be a healing bot like in wow i guess ..
@abradras Those are regeneration boons their the only thing players have that can heal others but they only heal a fraction of the amount your own self healz actually do, also they are aoe because their arent any ally targeting spells. In this game u can support others(healing is just *one* way to support) but u cant be a healer and keep a team mate alive forever if they arent supporting themselves and dodging cuz tanking is impossible to do for more than short periods of time.
@abradras Thus tanking is also out of the window cuz its just one small part in the umbrella of control just as healing is a part of support. Enemies AI will draw them to random things sometimes like distance or armor type, highest dps, but usually proximity. But despite all of that players arent designed to handle too much thus using stuns, knockdown, knockbacks, cripples, blinds, dodging, etc anything that mitigates the amount of dps enemies do is necessary for survival not just a healer.
Reading all the comments about wow and GW2 fanboys makes me chuckle... I just wanna say that this game looks amazing in that it will cultivate a co-operative experience. This is very far from WoW. I have played wow for far too long and recently quit. The only reason the people I grouped with kept playing was to log on to see who they can piss off. AKA TROLL!!! World of Warcraft, unintentionally creating a society of trolls and assholes. Time for a new king to rise! GW2 can't get here soon enough
search WTF is guild wars2 watch all the vids TB has up of guild wars 2 and you will understand they are not rifts....they are much better versions of it now the real question is what came first this idea or rift? lol
@aideya44 A lot more complex than Rifts from the looks of it. Similar idea for the base concept, but they go into two entirely different directions. The fact that dynamic events more or less replace quests in GW2 also makes a big difference.
@aideya44 Haha, other way around funnily enough, the idea came from ArenaNet first - then Rift decided to do it. Still, Rift will keep me happy in the meanwhile.
man i can't believe this combining my two favorite things KISW and GW2, i been real nerdy lately lol waiting for GW2 so excited about it, then to see The Rev going to Arena Net to cover it if that doesn't show you how epic GW2 will be i don't know what will LOL.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Besides for the fact GW2 lacks guild community and endgame raiding content ya sure it makes for a great singleplayer RPG but doesnt come close to a true blue MMO. Multi guild system detracks from a sence of community and envokes a none loyal atmospher. 5 man raids means less friends to play with at anyone time. and dynamic events are unpredictable and have Pugs in them so its a poor substitute for a raid system. great for casuals not great for serious MMO PvE gamers.
seriously go wash out your mouth with soap, first off all: endgame is still secret, pugs in gw2 will be better then any version wow could produce. there is no way off telling if it will have good raids or not, so far there is allready more diversity in the dungeons/instances then wow's dungeons could ever provide. the combat is active, if you allready try to bring it down based on such weak arguments, do go back to runescape ty bery much, nuff said ^^
There's no raiding content in Guild Wars 2. There's dungeons which look like raids from a first look but it doesn't work like it. Raiding is going through dungeons for powerful gear. That's not what the dungeons are for in GW2. It's not raiding. ArenaNet is not making a raid system nor are they trying to replace it. They're just taking it out entirely because it's a shitty way to keep players playing. As for the guild system, it doesn't detract from the community. To say otherwise is ignorant.
ok mister "serious MMO PvE gamer" HOW many times have you done "end game" raid stuff in WoW or what ever other MMORPG u play? yeeeah that's what I thought you either haven't or have it on farm.....it's not a great way to keep people playing because they get sick of it and second off multi guild system hmmm that sounds like a way to really have a joint guild ya know like how 2 guilds decide to group up for stuff on wow but don't want to leave their own guild??
also how many times have you pugged some one in your mmo .....if never then YOU good sir/mam are detrimental to the "community" in your game because you prevent people from getting into it by being rude and second off when they tell us "this event is every X hours" (which they have on some of them) or you can show up and push the event to the spot you want it to be your argument becomes null and void now go do your little raid again and when you wake up we will let you in.
Just trying out the transcribe audio feature ( [cc] -> Transcribe Audio -> [ok] ), when suddenly: '...not doing it cuz i remember playing World of WORK...' ( 12:01 ) !
The combat system is so sweet, has a bit of the conan system in it but hughly tailored to perfection, can't wait to see whats more to come... no tank, no healers, and no dps... isn't that just the best thing ever!
@GUARDIANOFFOR Lmao, when did you get those statisics from, back it up with facts becuase from the latest earning call revealed by blizzard they have only lost 1M subscriptions which was revealed on the 4th of August but also stated that the rate is increasing back with new players. I'm not here to say that GW is not gona own, I'm deffo gona play it but it far fetched to say that WoW is going down because of GW 2, again I'm not here to say that wow is almighty just that it's more loyal subjects
First: WoW is an Everquest 1 clone, live with it. :P Second: WoW is not dead, it was never alive in the first place. Some kids with lotsa free time made it overhyped, that's all. It has an extremely immature and rude community and hideous graphics with crappy character customization. WoW = past. GW2 = future! GO GW2! :)
@Crackermaster but you are wrong in what you are saying wow was so good for its time . i never saw a better pvp arena then in wow / raids pve wow is just old and its becoming a hore of ideas so it will soon die i still think guild wars 2 will be better but remember guild wars 2 is a game of 2011-2012 and wow graphiks are 2004 .
@pazlord1 I truly hope you didn't just call what is considered a joke of the MMO PvP world the best PvP you've ever seen? The original Guild Wars alone puts that laughing stock to shame in that department, let alone what came before either of them.
@pazlord1 haha first i dont wanna start a fight just tallking and saying what i think.
sec guild wars 1 pvp is shit compare to wow arena system and if you say its not i can see you dont know what you are tallking about cuz i played them bouth
(i still think guild wars 2 will own but lets wait for the game befor you are starting to say what is better )
@WormyWyrm I think consistency is a good thing, honestly. Would hardly call it 'silly hyping' either. I mean... we've see it in action, we see how good it will be once finished.
I was originally planning to play Swtor while I wait for GW2 but after the beta info and people who played beta giving lukewarm reviews, I guess I'll just save my money and play GW till the sequel comes out next year.
Can't freaking wait to get my hands on my game. And sadly, that will be like a year after it's release... at least the bugs and wiki will be updated by then, yeah?
Unlikely to be a Beta guys and girls. Not for the general public anyway. They have a lot of budgeting in play testing already, so it's unlikely they need players to "beta" their game. Maybe a little sneak preview...by the way, you'll like the new profession methinks.
@Archer2514 Closed Beta they said to be a near guarantee at the end of this year, Open Beta would follow that. They've said this. I trust their word over yours.
@Akeche Oh, you're referring to the interview with the Head Designer Colin Johanson? I missed that one. Meh - I kinda see "Beta" translates into "Demo" these days. Here's hoping it will be nice and short.
man.. the anet staff has the luxury of playing this game every single day >< while we're sitting here bashing our brains against the keyboard waiting for beta lol :)
I have a problem with ArenaNets decision to put players into big epic battles towards the beginning of the players experience. I agree though I don't want to be fighting only rats and uninteresting enemies, but when you throw players into massive battles in the beginning, in my opinion it throws off the pacing and later epic battles (although may be even bigger in comparison) could feel less so due to the initial epic battles fought in the beginning. Seems lacking a sense of consistent pacing.
@denniston85 There's still progression, you won't fight a big dragon early on. However, there's a big difference between killing rats and killing something visually impressive early on. The one makes you feel unimportant. The second makes you feel like a hero. The progression comes in how great a hero you are.
@Jostedalsosten Yeah I mean, the Dragons are the big bads. BUT you will definitely be fighting some equally impressively huge creatures. Or instead of fighting a boss, as we've seen, you might be dealing with an undead pirate ship.
@AltruisticSelfishnes and you can scale up and down to play with friends anywhere in game...and finding fun events will be great :) and should help with pacing :)
I don't view it this way since from the charr video I saw at least you are in a warzone and the big battles make you feel like you ARE in a warzone fighting for you races very life I think it works out fine.
@denniston85 First thing you fight as a Charr is Duke Barradin possessing a massive statue of himself. Around Level 50-60? You fight the undead dragon seen in the Gamescom videos. Level 80? Zaitan himself, and as they pointed out the dragons they've shown us are their SMALLER dragons.
Why does every video or report we get fawking restate or repeat what was done prior to that? Is HQ diverted for 2 years already? Q Fawking Q! Release date plz. kthx!
1500 dynamic events, and more content every week.. for free? Just when you think Guild Wars 2 can't get any better - it does. Major props and a huge thank you to ArenaNet for being so awesome.
@vividaurawins It's true that they do have a live team making new content each week. That content won't be implemented each week, though. Even so, I think they'll update their game more frequently than other MMO's since their business model is B2P. They gotta work harder to produce quality content that makes people want to buy their game instead of not even trying and getting 15$ a month from subscribers.
@vividaurawins I wonder how do they keep funding this project.. :P Please, enlighten me if possible :) I really hope they avoid in ''necessary'' microtransactions. :S But think they will.. :D
@Bretout Pay 2 Play means actually games like WoW. It's B 2 P aka. Buy to play. :P And that i know :D And i have all the GW series :)
@Lucidreamo i heard, but since this is a mmo it's bound to last more than a half a year.
@Akache ahh, i thought so :) Thanks for clearing that up :) It's just that unlike GW1 this GW is a larger scale mmo. The point being, you will explore much more and people will be hooked for a longer period of time. That is why, i thought that they could run out of fuel. :)
@Torguish If they follow the same business model, what we'll get is a few things. 1. Full Blown Expansion that add an immense amount of content. 2. Possibly smaller almost 'DLC' sized content packs, but this isn't confirmed. 3. Things like character slots, neat appearance armour etc. They will also add free content as well, as they did with Guild Wars.
@TheKainMan yeah i know, im just saying grinding is the worst especially in the later levels of most games which is the main thing im glad they changed, i like seing my levels go up its a form of progress and makes it easier to make personal goals and stuffs
i think poker tournaments would be fun, you could win extra points and spend them on some unique equipment, weapons or maybe consumable buffs i know im prolly getting thumbs down for my stupid idea haha
@anzekenk Imo this would be cool but it would be even cooler if it would have a guild warish style. Meaning by that is that it just isn't poker, some card minigame still tho.. :D
When the game will start alot of ppl are going to play in servers thar will be like 500 ppl in every city in the game . my point is if a event is starting somthing atking the villige and alot of ppl are in the vill it wont be like overload place or iff ppl will go afk and such
i love GuildWars but number 2 i think was mentioned to early coz now people want it and it COULD be way over a year by the time they get through alpha beta testing etc. hell by the time this games out new graphics and new style/type gameplay could be out sheeesh it could be old news/style game before its even out come on arena give us some clue...
@tech5563 they HAD to mention it early. They were talking about it during the early stages (concept/concept art stages) because they NEEDED to explain why they would not be making any more expansions/campaigns for Guild Wars 1. They wanted to explain to their loyal fan base why they were not going to be making any more. If they chose not to, there would be lots of complaints about GW1 being dead.
It was a case of "damned if they do, damned if they don't", there was no winning for them there.
@tech5563 Well... no. Closed Beta starts at the end off 2011 and that can be from now to well ... the end off 2011. Close'd beta will only take a few months and hen theres maybe open beta if there still more to perfect so that would be around 4 months of Beta. and we can exspect a release shortly after the beta. So my guess is the release is in March
@afranklin0416 That won't happen, no mater which game get released WoW won't be "blowen out of the water" -- many games tried and they all fail becuase of one reason WoW got too many "loyal" players, 12million online now when GW2 is released than only a handful will stop playing wow (also know wow got a new expension coming out which is going to give them a boost) -- not hating XD just saying look at the facts before posting your statement on something,
@AODSTO yeah.... that is F2P. thats a trial lol. And now you say how come you can do it as much as you much!? cuz an infinite trial lol. But boring as hell?
@MrSweetnes So....if I am TOTALLY wrong of GW2 being a WoW clone....why do you have a WoW instructional video in your channel? ...I won't even comment on the "How to stalk girls" video...
@MrSweetnes I agree, Guild Wars 2 is in no way what-so-ever a World of Warcraft clone, Guild Wars is just Guild Wars and you can't say a game is a World of Warcraft clone becuase World of Warcraft is an Ever Quest clone. Without EverQuest there would be no World of Warcraft. Guild Wars combat system, nothing like wow; leveling system, nothing like wow; event system, nothing like wow; RP side, nothing like wow and could go on for ages. Guild Wars 2 is a new gen of RPG mixed with MMORPG. Unique!
@Nythim Nice mate! Love when people can see it. I just get angry over all those "kids" saying wow clone all the time.. They are just angry because there is something better, and people go to GW and kills wow. :) I like wow, but this maked me stop. I've played all GW 1, and there is nothing Compare to wow..
@Nythim At least WoW players are critisizing their own game. GW players are somewhat obsessed with WoW and that it will be way better. Time will show which game is better and I really hope it is because I play wow no more and I wanna play GW2. Triumphing over a game that hasn't even released yet doesn't always end well.
@Kalaskula2000 Regardless there is nothing stopping you from trying the game once it is released. No sub fee, remember? It worked wonderfully for the original. As long as you go in with an open mind, you should be able to enjoy yourself. That's the entire point of playing a game, after all.
Great interview with Colin not new information sadly, other than the launcher background of the dragon changing colour for now probably will change just like GW1's did.
@Cajt22 No release date will be known until Beta is nearly finished, no news that beta has started but Closed BETA will start this year, been confirmed by ArenaNet a few times, keep an eye out.
@Cajt22 I understand that but they don't know themselves. AS SOON as they know, they will tell people. Until then, they don't want to get peoples hopes up. Just imagine "It will be released on x date"
X date arrives: "Sorry, we have to delay it as the game is not finished or polished up enough, It is broken, not balanced, etc"
Lots of disappointed people. They want to avoid disappointing people and they want to avoid rushing the game. That is why they stick to the saying "When it's ready"
Before anyone else asks when it's released, please just don't. It will be released when it's ready, no one wants a buggy unfinished game (remember FFXIV? Age of Conan? Or other games that were rushed out)
It might look polished but that's only what they CHOOSE to show. Not everything is polished, balanced or finished. The game is probably not even fully optimized yet meaning it wouldn't do well on many computers.
They will announce a release date when they are sure it will be done by then.
I mean, nowhere on vids someone told me : gw 2 releasing within 4 months bla bla. I might phone the store tomorrow, this is weird.

First: WoW is an Everquest 1 clone, live with it. :P Second: WoW is not dead, it was never alive in the first place. Some kids with lotsa free time made it overhyped, that's all. It has an extremely immature and rude community and hideous graphics with crappy character customization. WoW = past. GW2 = future! GO GW2! :)

@Crackermaster but you are wrong in what you are saying wow was so good for its time . i never saw a better pvp arena then in wow / raids pve wow is just old and its becoming a hore of ideas so it will soon die i still think guild wars 2 will be better but remember guild wars 2 is a game of 2011-2012 and wow graphiks are 2004 .
pazlord1 3 months ago
@pazlord1 I truly hope you didn't just call what is considered a joke of the MMO PvP world the best PvP you've ever seen? The original Guild Wars alone puts that laughing stock to shame in that department, let alone what came before either of them.

@pazlord1 haha first i dont wanna start a fight just tallking and saying what i think.
sec guild wars 1 pvp is shit compare to wow arena system and if you say its not i can see you dont know what you are tallking about cuz i played them bouth
(i still think guild wars 2 will own but lets wait for the game befor you are starting to say what is better )

Unlikely to be a Beta guys and girls. Not for the general public anyway. They have a lot of budgeting in play testing already, so it's unlikely they need players to "beta" their game. Maybe a little sneak preview...by the way, you'll like the new profession methinks.

I have a problem with ArenaNets decision to put players into big epic battles towards the beginning of the players experience. I agree though I don't want to be fighting only rats and uninteresting enemies, but when you throw players into massive battles in the beginning, in my opinion it throws off the pacing and later epic battles (although may be even bigger in comparison) could feel less so due to the initial epic battles fought in the beginning. Seems lacking a sense of consistent pacing.
denniston85 3 months ago
@denniston85 There's still progression, you won't fight a big dragon early on. However, there's a big difference between killing rats and killing something visually impressive early on. The one makes you feel unimportant. The second makes you feel like a hero. The progression comes in how great a hero you are.
Jostedalsosten 3 months ago
@Jostedalsosten Yeah I mean, the Dragons are the big bads. BUT you will definitely be fighting some equally impressively huge creatures. Or instead of fighting a boss, as we've seen, you might be dealing with an undead pirate ship.

I don't view it this way since from the charr video I saw at least you are in a warzone and the big battles make you feel like you ARE in a warzone fighting for you races very life I think it works out fine.
bottleogravedigger 3 months ago
@denniston85 First thing you fight as a Charr is Duke Barradin possessing a massive statue of himself. Around Level 50-60? You fight the undead dragon seen in the Gamescom videos. Level 80? Zaitan himself, and as they pointed out the dragons they've shown us are their SMALLER dragons.

1500 dynamic events, and more content every week.. for free? Just when you think Guild Wars 2 can't get any better - it does. Major props and a huge thank you to ArenaNet for being so awesome.
vividaurawins 3 months ago 70
@vividaurawins It's true that they do have a live team making new content each week. That content won't be implemented each week, though. Even so, I think they'll update their game more frequently than other MMO's since their business model is B2P. They gotta work harder to produce quality content that makes people want to buy their game instead of not even trying and getting 15$ a month from subscribers.

@Bretout Pay 2 Play means actually games like WoW. It's B 2 P aka. Buy to play. :P And that i know :D And i have all the GW series :)
@Lucidreamo i heard, but since this is a mmo it's bound to last more than a half a year.
@Akache ahh, i thought so :) Thanks for clearing that up :) It's just that unlike GW1 this GW is a larger scale mmo. The point being, you will explore much more and people will be hooked for a longer period of time. That is why, i thought that they could run out of fuel. :)
Torguish 3 months ago
@Torguish Didn't you hear how much GW1 box they sold, they probably plan to have this as funding, doesn't it make sense?
Lucidreamo 3 months ago
@Torguish If they follow the same business model, what we'll get is a few things. 1. Full Blown Expansion that add an immense amount of content. 2. Possibly smaller almost 'DLC' sized content packs, but this isn't confirmed. 3. Things like character slots, neat appearance armour etc. They will also add free content as well, as they did with Guild Wars.

tech5563 3 months ago
@tech5563 they HAD to mention it early. They were talking about it during the early stages (concept/concept art stages) because they NEEDED to explain why they would not be making any more expansions/campaigns for Guild Wars 1. They wanted to explain to their loyal fan base why they were not going to be making any more. If they chose not to, there would be lots of complaints about GW1 being dead.
It was a case of "damned if they do, damned if they don't", there was no winning for them there.
stuart444 3 months ago
@tech5563 Well... no. Closed Beta starts at the end off 2011 and that can be from now to well ... the end off 2011. Close'd beta will only take a few months and hen theres maybe open beta if there still more to perfect so that would be around 4 months of Beta. and we can exspect a release shortly after the beta. So my guess is the release is in March

@afranklin0416 That won't happen, no mater which game get released WoW won't be "blowen out of the water" -- many games tried and they all fail becuase of one reason WoW got too many "loyal" players, 12million online now when GW2 is released than only a handful will stop playing wow (also know wow got a new expension coming out which is going to give them a boost) -- not hating XD just saying look at the facts before posting your statement on something,

@MrSweetnes I agree, Guild Wars 2 is in no way what-so-ever a World of Warcraft clone, Guild Wars is just Guild Wars and you can't say a game is a World of Warcraft clone becuase World of Warcraft is an Ever Quest clone. Without EverQuest there would be no World of Warcraft. Guild Wars combat system, nothing like wow; leveling system, nothing like wow; event system, nothing like wow; RP side, nothing like wow and could go on for ages. Guild Wars 2 is a new gen of RPG mixed with MMORPG. Unique!

@Nythim Nice mate! Love when people can see it. I just get angry over all those "kids" saying wow clone all the time..

MrSweetnes 3 months ago
@Nythim At least WoW players are critisizing their own game. GW players are somewhat obsessed with WoW and that it will be way better. Time will show which game is better and I really hope it is because I play wow no more and I wanna play GW2. Triumphing over a game that hasn't even released yet doesn't always end well.

@Cajt22 I understand that but they don't know themselves. AS SOON as they know, they will tell people. Until then, they don't want to get peoples hopes up. Just imagine "It will be released on x date"
X date arrives: "Sorry, we have to delay it as the game is not finished or polished up enough, It is broken, not balanced, etc"
Lots of disappointed people. They want to avoid disappointing people and they want to avoid rushing the game. That is why they stick to the saying "When it's ready"

Before anyone else asks when it's released, please just don't. It will be released when it's ready, no one wants a buggy unfinished game (remember FFXIV? Age of Conan? Or other games that were rushed out)
It might look polished but that's only what they CHOOSE to show. Not everything is polished, balanced or finished. The game is probably not even fully optimized yet meaning it wouldn't do well on many computers.
They will announce a release date when they are sure it will be done by then.
