[HDeep95]

Nice !

[melo1499]

yes very nice very nice indeed

[Xngelic]

First profession is Mesmer!

[LifeFux]

I am Watching watching watching...

[GustavoMsTrashCan]

Did she missed that spell?

SHE MISSED IT

LIKE AN ACTION MMO

OH WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­T

[okdanhe]

the more i read about gw2 the more i wanna play it

the more i see about gw2 the less i wanna play it

[DeidarasArtisaBANG]

@okdanhe

The answer on your riddle is: You are blind.

[shyguy1204]

real witch !!!!!

[pooop592]

i must say this looks like great gameplay

[phantom125555]

"No grinding in GW2!!!!!"...... *2 minute video of character grinding*..... this makes me sad

[strat066]

@phantom125555 he was showing underwater gameplay...dont judge the game from a 2 minute video.

[JakeEgan2]

@phantom125555 this isn't grinding you idiot

[NedimOrton]

elementalist char

[bjoern007]

Can Norn be guardians?

[TheChrises16]

@bjoern007 yes.

[DieHardx23x]

@bjoern007 Every race can be every class.

[xjx2]

@bjoern007 Yes, every race can be every class - and none have an advantage as a certain class.

[AlaroxR]

Open beta is in March and April (more or less a public demo)

Release May obviously.

[AlaroxR]

It's lava and boiling water not fireballs....

Magma is still red hot even in water. Go watch the discovery channel and look at underwater shield volcanos or something. It takes time for lava to cool and harden into solid rock.

[funwithgoats01]

i'm so glad this is coming out this year. The only 2 MMORPGs i've ever liked. Guild wars and WoW. Played wow since the release, quit when Cataclysm came out. They totally destroyed the game. Guess i'll just play the first GW till this one comes out, so excited! :D

[Moglis00]

@funwithgoats01 No point to, really... Aion is in closed beta but this month they 'll open it again, with a free to play model. In the mean time "The secret World" a zombie/ dark monsters mmo has an open beta in which you can sing up, and Tera and Guild Wars will open up their betas in March and April.

So, I find no good reason to turn to a game close to extinction (GW1) when so many neat alternatves are around.

[13baloes]

And i set fire, to the water ^^

[megasrd123]

OMG it can do the Katon Goukakyu!

[phaselotus]

you know.......i was hoping id forget about this game until release so i would stop thinking about how amazing its going to be no matter how far i run....something always drags me back

[Matilducka]

How is it possible to shoot fireballs underwater?... Meh, fuck logic.

[CallOfDuty1987Vids]

@Matilducka Magmaballs*

[stryfe1000]

@Matilducka those are balls of magma, magma takes a long time to cool down in water, better logic than in WoW at least as far as fireballs lightning bolts etc

[taggingfolife]

WHEN IS THE RELEASE!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?

[Irtehdar]

Most likely candidate is the Mesmer. Might end up as Ranger or Warrior instead. But I know for certain Im gonna be Human.

It amuses me when people will willingly accept floating rocks, walking corpses, dragons, talking plants, teleportation, timetravel and unicorns. And then they stuff molten lava into their invissible backpack which also holds a horse and a griffon. And then they get bend out of shape over fire in water (something anyone who knows basic physics can reproduce without magic)

[iShadowBEAST]

She is badace

[Cloudo222]

Wow....... that crab put up a fight O_O

[themi90]

World of Warcraft is very very very very gay.

[poveyno1]

f2p or p2p?

[Laddips18]

@poveyno1 buy to play

[tripper555]

GW2 = MMO Orgasm

[VegetoStevieD]

I was so excited for this game a couple years ago, but now I just look and feel like it's a game I should have been playing in 2010. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying there's any better mmo out there, I'm just pointing out that the genre is lagging behind where it should be. I guess the long wait was a little too long, I'm just not as interested as before.

[Heartbreaker13579]

Sylvari, Elementalist. Or Asura, Guardian. Little man w/ giant hammer? FTW!

[Knightmares100]

when is this game realesd

[thesebster88]

female char warrior/hunter or female norn warrior or hunter ?

depends on if i like the animatons

will be making an azura thief at some point to because a little back flipping double pistol ball of doom is a must.^_^

[Poisonberry8497]

@thesebster88 Asura*

[l337z0r]

The fire looks a bit too orange...

[Bain0o]

seems like no one is about to play asura.....thats where I come in.

[spacepacman1]

Ele or guarden  cant wait

[maka4ever]

best class in gw2 imo is the elementalist

[NaKeD46]

Sylvari Necromancer <3 I want it nao D:

[Phenumas]

Charr Ranger!

[MrNeuro77]

Im deciding between an Asuran guardian, warrior, or theif! D:

[liberator48]

i wonder if there'll be any RP at all in this game, and what the pvp will be like.. will there be world pvp?

[iWadey]

@liberator48 There will be world PVP along with arenas

[ShamelessSoul]

@GW2fanboys

Wow...... you guys take this game way to serious. Good luck with that.

[wuoe]

Where is the powerful instant-kill elementalist that I played for the last houndred years? Might as well go warrior now that they nerfed ele

[comperko]

omg i love those backround sounds in the night it enhances atmosphere so much

[DasGangle]

Norn Elementalist ftw. Ugh I really need this game naow....

[PastafarianHunter]

Human Guardian! Or mesmer. Not sure yet.

[Hamm0nd21]

Norn guardian :D ye boi this game is gan b sick

[wampa159]

@ShamelessSoul

Just an FYI fire DOES NOT work underwater in this game. There wasn't any fire underwater anyway. It uses steam and boiling water.

[ShamelessSoul]

If fire spells work underwater this game is crap, and that goes for any other game with the same physics.

[AsmodianTempStar]

@ShamelessSoul if the fire would be hot enought the water would boil before it could touch the water look thermit(hottest stuff in the world)

[ShamelessSoul]

@AsmodianTempStar

Last time I checked thermite wasn't magic.... and I don't see any water boiling. I see flames underwater.

[chend4wg]

@ShamelessSoul You just stated the solution to your own problem. It's fucking magic. You really have a problem with fire underwater, but someone throwing fire from their hands in the first place is no big deal?

More on point, if you watch the video, you'll notice the fire spells are related to heating the water itself (steam, boiling, etc.) and the one spell that looks fire related is a ball of magma.

Also, if you don't see the water boiling at 1:27 you are either stupid or a useless troll.

[DanielSMorris87]

@ShamelessSoul

Bit if a dumb reaction really. Firstly it's magic, anything is possible really. Secondly, Physics and chemistry both state you can have 'fire' underwater.

[TheBlueFlex]

@ShamelessSoul

Game physics means something different to the physics we apply in the real life. You're complaint is about the game mechanics. Anyway, is it a bad thing you can cast fire spells underwater, it's a game. We play those things to just chill out and have fun.

[MagicalAardvark]

Norn Ranger!

[mike1992123]

Norn Ranger for me. Then Sylvari Necromancer. The first will be my substitute for the druid class I wanted.

[DemonHunter197]

And to post a comment that isn't responding to trollbaiting:

I'm probably going to start out with a Charr Warrior, then move on to a Human Thief or Sylvari Elementalist.

[darkgumage]

Human Elementalist or Human Necromancer for sure =)!

[TheQmoney88]

This game looks absolutely amazing, I love how the skill effects change underwater, man the attention to detail is incredible. This game cant come out soon enough.

[LittleBigAsura]

I'll start with an Asura/Thief then a Human/Ele

[Justan0500]

Ill probly be a Sylvari Necromancer or Asura Ele for my first race/prof combo. or Char Engineer/ranger.

[sphinxofthenewage]

even mobs are somewhat of a copy of wow , murlocks ? lol any game that is no genuine will never beat wow in sub numbers. im not a wow fan i hate the game , its just that i hate it more when i see all other games trying to be as shit as that game actually is.

[DemonHunter197]

@sphinxofthenewage So because a mob looks similar, this game is automatically a WoW clone.

K

[Swifty543]

Gonna start with an Asura Thief I think i've been out of guild wars for a while now but i'm so getting back into it with gw 2 :d

[AlbertMenaR]

The interface looks a lot like SWTOR, doesn't it?

[lichmourne00]

@AlbertMenaR not at all .... wth are you talking about? lol

[Master10k2]

@AlbertMenaR I don't know... it looks a lot less blue than SW:TOR :P

[ifm2181]

Gotta start with Sylvari warrior.

But damn, does ele ever look fun to play. :)

[jdemous1]

Very nice video. Being a big fan of GW1 I find a lot of things I don't like about GW2. For example seeing an elementalist use fire under water is about as realistic as, well, check out YouTube video "Star Trek Fight Fail".

[bogdan19902]

@jdemous1 the fire looks more like balls of magma then flames so its all good :D 

[GreatWallStr1]

@jdemous1 Actually they were designed with the concept of being underwater in mind. The REASON they don't shoot fireballs and blow fire underwater is because.... well, it's underwater. Instead, they shoot magma that cools in the water, then explodes. They boil the water around them, etc. Their "fire magic" underwater is used as superheating instead. :D

[rojonomada]

this game its awesome exept because it cost :(

[Empir37]

@rojonomada at least, no subsription fee like other MMORPGs

[maartenvdvegt]

just thinking of the mesmer gives me a headache -.-

[ineedgames123]

how can i download this game? :D

[alexo124]

I'm probably gonna be a Sylvari Mesmer :P

[GamerJSO]

Going for a Norn elementalist!

[izOutsider]

Failll.. Wather mop! atack with fire? -.-

[psypsy751]

I keep watching and watching....

[BeldansFire]

Boil your enemies alive.....sweet

[Ivohooy]

Asura Engineer is going to be my first class

My second is going to be Charr Guardian

[crowspears2]

@Ivohooy oh god, I really can't choose lol, If i had to make a decision now probably an asuran guardian :D

Charr warriors with their epic stomps, bow attacks and whirlwinds look awesome as well.

[Ivohooy]

@crowspears2 I changed my mind and go for first class

Asura Guardian and second

Norn as a .......

[Gwiynher]

I will be a sylvari guardian :)

[megasrd123]

Quitted WoW just for this ^o^

[Binarynova]

The way the Fire Attunement spells change underwater is brilliant. I am so ready to play this game.

[RotDeathmark]

need...

[kairixmeforever]

and she goes like : " katon goukakyuu no jutsu "

[TheMrsmartiekid]

@Nicoonk

There are little lava bombs underwater.. and then the fire spells turn to steam.. Are you blind :/

[MateusCLoregian]

Finally a Guild wars 2 gameplay that's "inside the game".

[nicoonk]

@MrNightcall

ya but this is fire not lava :P

[ipeeontheworld]

rofl this game looks bad oh lol wow all this talk for somethig this crappy?

[ArchApx]

cool, but do not get closer of B&S

[nicoonk]

LOL what amazing logic FIRE UNDERWATER XDDD but still top game will top WoW AND ALL OTHER mmorpgs muahahahaha

[MrNightcall]

@nicoonk theres lava underwater IRL...

[shem222]

Sylvari RANGER !!! I Need This Game :(

[Metheny72]

Human Elementalist!

[raptorzx1]

One word. Amazing.

[Mitsukakex]

@Zeikid well bro i hope you can get yourself fixed up if not and play it =(. its sad to see another fan, like myself, not being bale to play it

[devangray1]

The first skill was a ball of lava that explodes.. the rest were more like explosions then plain old fire.

[brunopiccinin]

Awesome, but fire under water? really... Ok, I'll consider as a magical fire. GW 2 must worth it.

[kingcustard444]

@brunopiccinin There are no fire skills shown there, one was a glob of lava that explodes, another was a skill the makes the water boiling hot, another was sending bolts of steaming hot water

[Zeikid]

Since they won't release this game for mac, they probably have no intentions of becoming even equal to World of Warcraft.

[Mitsukakex]

@Zeikid because they are trying to beat there own expectations and any other mmo. they most likely will do mac just give them time.

[Zeikid]

@Mitsukakex I hope so.... I just wanted to let out my frustrations... This game looks really awesome and I'd gladly play it in expense for WoW... But I was so stupid as to buy a freakin' Macbook Pro....

[TheChrises16]

@Zeikid i have an imac too and yes, would be sad, but i think they´re going to make an imac version..

[Zeikid]

@TheChrises16 They better... Or else I'll use my fists and get bootcamp up and running...

[Salt7iel]

Sylvari Mez

[TheSacredFox]

the skills change in different environments? Wow. Please Anet take all of my money.

[MrOxyranus]

Nekro human will be my first profession and race

[XboxLiveShadox]

Asuran Engineer, Sylvari Thief, Human Mesmer....my current choices

[solesurv]

Badass Charr warrior all up in your face and looking good while doing it :)

[Concepcion30]

Okay that was really awesome, I loved the way she made the water start to boil!

[SlobodanTomic91]

my dear lord...

[Cashmachinez]

Looks like we can kite mobs to death on this game

[StealMyRice]

I like how you can use fire underwater.

[CrossConsoleGaming]

@StealMyRice Technically, it's fire that has hardened because of it being underwater. You can see from the first spell she casts that the fireball takes a solid form and turns more into a cannonball. Kind of how lava works when it meets water. =)

[RamiPwnez]

Nothing is better than WoW. Since 2009 were 20 ,,Wow killers'' bu still nothing succeded.

[CrossConsoleGaming]

@RamiPwnez All of those games were games that were new and didn't already have an insane fan base. Guild Wars isn't coming out of the blue. It has been here for a long time. And for a game that is F2P that is a great accomplishment to still even be around. And the fact that this game has taken aspects of WoW and drastically improved them and added their own flavor while still being a F2P game in the world's economy means it has a very good chance at taking the throne.

[Reloading26]

@RamiPwnez plz do us a favor and spell right...you sound like garbage

[TheBladarin]

NERDGASM!!!

[Rawr5649]

Asura Ranger ftw!

[DisturbedKoala]

@Rawr5649 With their height, I wouldn't be surprised if they're the ones hitting everyone in the knee lately.

[tarjeidaniel]

To be honest, I hope this game never comes out, I will have my virginity forever, ....Fuck it, whatever, this looks awesome

[ilvarsmailo1]

put in on 720p full screen and imagine you are playing

[cneal15]

@ilvarsmailo1 i did

[drstalker91]

Shaiya best mmorpg

[DisturbedKoala]

@drstalker91 How so?

[ominona555777]

holy shit that's fucking beautiful

[Haexxchen]

first time i hear of underwatercombat. Dont know if i really like that much. Nice idea but hopefully not too hard to control.

[zidane247]

haha. fireball under water??

[DisturbedKoala]

@zidane247 It's a lava ball, notice the explosion after it cooled off. :] And the boiling of the water also tells us that the skills underwater for fire have amplified from what they would be on land so they'd be of use underwater.

[zidane247]

@DisturbedKoala yea but why use that underwater. surely a lot of the heat disperse as soon as soon as d lava comes in contact with water. can't elementalist use some other element base attack instead >.<?

[DisturbedKoala]

@zidane247 Well it is magic for a reason. You could assume it runs different than what we know of in reality considering this is fantasy... Lava balls that explode after a tiny bit underwater makes enough sense, but if you really don't want to use fire at all underwater you could simply switch attunement. As there's four attunements you could use in this game as an Elementalist which are: Fire, Water, Air, and Earth.

[zidane247]

@DisturbedKoala i haven't actually tried the game. last i checked its still on beta testing. neways it seems good, just that i thought its funny to use fire spells when we're submerged. neways, i'm still waiting for it to be release.

[DisturbedKoala]

@zidane247 They've recently announced closed beta to happen this year for friends and family of staff, but they haven't gone through with it yet as they'll announce it when they do. And yeah I suppose it is funny, but it's fantasy with magic; can't expect too much realism. Though they did change the spells between the forms on land and water, as when submerged you switch to a new weapon such as the Trident.

That aside, the official release date is still "When it's ready." And I'm waiting too.

[DaShAnKeR4]

Water combat reminds me of monster hunter tri water combat

Ah good times :)

[TheEmpatheticFool]

@DaShAnKeR4 Was a great game :) before it got repetitive :(

[TheZyroGaming]

I can't wait for this game honestly

[DragonHunterX]

@TheZyroGaming I couldn't wait about 3 months ago. At this point the developers are just douchebags.

[Amelia2050]

@HeresASeatHD

Oh you card.

[LNcia]

im gonna quit my wow account for sure!

[Pxaka95]

yea there will be very interesting pvp with 5 skills. i mean PVP for brainless people. this sucks. add some more.

[NavyDragons]

@Pxaka95 its 10 skills actually f1 and f2 will toggle between 2 sets of skills for easy access like an elementalist can switch rapidly between 2 different attunements such as fire and earth once you used up all your fire spells and are waiting on cooldowns you will not be SOL you have earth spells to easily cast at the ready

[Pxaka95]

@NavyDragons 10 skills are nothing .pvp meaning will suck . there must be 30 skills mininum when your are a wizard.

[AlaroxR]

@Pxaka95

As an elementalist you will have a minimum of 25 skills at all times.

And by 25 skills, I mean 25 useful abilities that you can use constantly to great effect. In every other MMO you have 'rotations' of abilities to use because thats the best way to play. You may have over 60 abilities in some MMOs but how many are actually useful? In GW2 EVERY ability is a great ability that has a use and a purpose. If anything, GW2 gives you more options than, let's just say, WoW

[ReadThisDerp]

@Pxaka95 You're a idiot theres over 30 skills for elementalist. not to mention in other mmos i rarely use like 60% of my skills even in rotations

[DisturbedKoala]

@Pxaka95 You clearly haven't deeply researched about how combat in Gw2 works. As there are 10 SLOTS for skills, but the skills that fill those slots are of far greater quantity. Here's how ele works: They have 4 attunements to switch to at anytime which comprises of Fire, Water, Air, and Earth. Each of these provides at least 5 normal skills for that element. And these skills change depending on the wep the ele wields. Example: You'd have different skills if you wield daggers instead of a staff.

[DisturbedKoala]

@NavyDragons Incorrect. It's not 10 skills. The ele has 4 attunements to switch between once they're all unlocked. The attunements are Fire, Water, Air, and Earth.

Once they're unlocked, you have at least 5 per element however the skills differ depending on the weapon that the elementalist wields. Example such as an ele wielding daggers would have different skills than they would with a staff or a rod with focus. This meaning they have far more skills than what's immediately apparent.

[weeper951]

would i have to buy a copy of gw2 in order to play or is it free to download on the site when its realeased?

[TheElectricSmile]

@weeper951 you'll have to buy a copy but it doesn't has a monthly fee

[iTehAzn]

Is GW any where like WoW? Where each class get several skills to work with but have to skill under a certain tree for its effectiveness, along with new spells? Or is there only like a set 5 spells or so?

[01Avrilgirl]

@iTehAzn similar, but completely different at the same time. In GW there are no "specs" there are talent points that u spend in talents however, to boost strengths in areas. And there are many skills, many more than WoW in fact, for each class. However, the player must choose 10 skills out of his/her aresenal and can only use those 10 at a time. But u can change your build in any town, free of charge as many times as you'd like.

[DuhAzn14]

So i wanna play GW2 but i dont know if its monthly pay (like wow ) or is it better than wow and not montly paid for?

[hjnbrf]

hmm.. kinda looks like Diablo3 in mmorpg style to me
