PAX EAST 2011 - Guild Wars 2 Demo - HD cam footage 1/3

This is my friend playing a human guardian in GW2 at PAX East 2011. He is not a Guild Wars player and not much of a MMO player, but to his credit, this is some of the better GW2 gameplay I have seen to date.

Also, the skill descriptions are not complete. Jon Peters said in the full release of the game, the skill descriptions will give you everything vital you need to know about a skill's basic function. So I have no doubt the duration time of Hammer of Wisdom will be displayed in the release version :)

@TheDorkSide777 Even better than a skill description, we will have something in the UI that shows the status of the weapon and how long before it disappears. According to the dev, these things should be implemented for PAX Prime :D

So he tried out a few skills...then he ignored the rest...that's not good.

[superbacker56]

@Rob0cop Not sure what you mean. If you watch the whole thing he does a pretty good job of switching weapon sets and using the entire skill bar effectively. Remember this is a first time player after all, so it took him a while to get into it.

@satanspy

give me 1 reason why this game will fail.

and I'll give you 1000 why it won't

@satanspy this is mostly directed at the comment for satanspy. I think Satanspy was thinking of GW pvp only characters. yes, they have max gear and max level, but all you can do with it is PVP. GW2, so far, we don't know if they offer the same thing. As far as MMO = Massive Multiplayer Online, not grinding and monthly charge. I've played EQ, WoW, SWG. I'd rather play for free. So if you wanna grind and pay, go ahead, the rest of us will get some beer and order some food and have some fun.

Old vid but still. Thank you sir for your contribution to society & helping noobs get a foot in the door. lol, he's your friend, but hes a damn noob. Next time, let him tape and you play; Buddy seemed clueless.

Current MMO genre = Take a seat, for GW2 will remove you from an upright position. \_

I like how his playing style kind of evolves as he plays. The way he starts moving more and dodging. most of the videos I've seen they just stand there and take the hits like a traditional MMO.

[Fuelove1]

that was actually pretty good gameplay considering your friend isn't into the MMO, GW thing. I've watched loads of gameplay vids of GW2 and everyone has sucked

@satanspy i would love to see your face when GW2 comes out and kicks the shit out of WoW

@MasakoXer you dont need to lvl up char for structured pvp, every char is scaled to the exact same stats, so it can eb balanced

[Diggaholic1]

@satanspy LMFAO, alright theres many things wrong with your comment so let us begin, shall we?

"Gw2 everyones maxed out and with top gear but nobody played for months and years.." this is a demo dumbass. They purposely made them a higher level.

"its a 3rd person FPS game with magic skills instead of guns and bullets thats what. and it WILL FAIL" Alright... the statement right here... you're just a retard.. How did you find this video with a mental capacity like yours?

@satanspy

why would you want grinding in a game. A-net got rid of grinding because it was a PROBLEM for all MMORPGs. That's WHY gw2 is revolutionary. It changes the concept of the MMO, changing it into something didfferent. They make the lvling fun so you don't have to kill the same damned boss over and over again to gain xp. That's boring forced work and nobody likes it. That's what gw2 changes.

It changes everything.

@satanspy

I just said before, that in this game you DON"T get all your equipment and be pvping.

Dude, in gw2, there's 2 types of pvp, The first type is a tounament based pvp. That's the pvp that you have to have your char lvled up, and with all the other shit.

The other pvp in World vs world pvp, where's it's just like a FPS, you get in and reagrdless of what your lvl is or equipment is, you can play. It's a come and go kind of pvp, week long battles.
