deanb Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 http://www.guildwars2.com/en/ Developer: ArenaNet Publisher: NCsoft Release Date: TBA So this is an MMO I'm kind of looking forward to getting into when it releases. I've heard good things on the first, like the visual style. Maybe a bit too late to get in on that. I'd say the main draw is the pricing structure, pay once, free forever after. I think that'd suit my kind of drop in drop out style. I'd love the same model on EVE, not up for signing back up for a month or so sub when I may only play for a few hours that week then drop off. Good system to have for when there's the drops in game releases at certain points of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sindo Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I absolutely loved the first one. I put a good three or four thousand hours into it. I've been eagerly waiting for 2 for two or three years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I spent over 1000 hours playing the first one. I'm reluctant to care about the second one as I don't really have the time to invest in an MMO anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirandello Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 The new music score they have lined up for Guild Wars 2 is plain epic. Just go watch the new Norn video and you'll see what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForgetfulBrain Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I quite enjoyed the first game and the second is an instant-buy/pre-order for me. Looks like it's going to be a very fresh and fun MMO - without sub fees - hurrah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enervation Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 If there's a preorder for this, I'm definitely going for it. Never played the original Guild Wars, but GW2 is something I've had my eyes on for quite a while now, ever since they first released gameplay footage. Oh, and the art style is awesome. Reminds me of MGS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madbassman39 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Heres a whole bunch of Guild Wars 2 info from the sight Massively.com. A lot of this stuff is on the GW2 site, but some like the videos of the thief and the Norn starting area aren't. http://massively.joystiq.com/category/guild-wars-2/ Also, I'm assuming that this is an all purpose GW thread, so if anybody is playing GW 1 a the moment send me a notice as I'm just getting past Ascalon as a lvl 12 ranger! So far, fantastic game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForgetfulBrain Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I feel like a lot of us here are going to get this... Is that so? Because that would be awesome! TAY Guild! Yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I'm looking into GW2. edit: then again I'm the OP so I guess that kind of goes without saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sindo Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 As much as I'd love a TAY guild, I probably wouldn't be in it. If GW2 goes anything like the first one, I'll be joining GvG guilds. Gotta get back into the top 100! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForgetfulBrain Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Yeahh, if I play this, I'm totally going to be a casual player - don't have time for anything more, sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbassman39 Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Here is the panel from PAX, two half hour videos to watch. I am so excited for this game I can't sit still... or maybe thats because I have to pee. Anyways, the link is below. http://www.arena.net/blog/video-the-guild-wars-2-pax-east-panel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 GW1 was highly enjoyable even on a casual level, so I'll definately be interested in this. However, I have no idea how they are handling cross-continental play in this one, if they are going to support it at all. In either case, I'd be highly interested in being part of a TAY-based guild; european or international. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sindo Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Well iirc, the game only takes place in Tyria. I can't remember where I read that though. Otherwise, we already know where the continents are located. They can just make it one big map like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Well, Tyria is plenty big and varied enough for the base game to start in. I'm sure we'll see the other areas in expansions down the line. Which brings up another point - a lot of people have likened the expansions in GW1 to a subscription fee, because you need to buy them all to play the full game. I'd say, sure, that comparison is somewhat valid. But it's also much cheaper in the long run - there are now three base campaigns and one pure expansion for GW1 - and if you're thinking of starting up your account again, you don't have to pay a sub fee to just install it and mess around before you're sure you're gonna be playing. I know for myself that it's far more likely I'd still be playing WoW or any of the other MMOs I've tried, if I could just jump on whenever without having that ticking clock and a subscription fee over my head. The most recent example of a game I'm not gonna resub to, but might still be playing had it used the GW model, is DC Universe Online.

madbassman39 Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I hope Tyria is actually bigger, because it will seem a lot smaller in a persistent world. @Johnny, They said in the panel that they don't have anything available yet for cross continental play, but they are trying to get it to work. I don't really know what that details, but hopefully it will be available at launch. Also, like you said, some people say buying the expansion packs is equivalent to paying a sub, I bought the trilogy for 20 bucks on sale on steam and bought eye of the north for 9 bucks on amazon. I think it is a way better model, because deal hunters like myself will come out ahead! Although, I won't be getting a deal on the initial launch of GW2, because I've already pre-ordered it through amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirandello Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 THE best April Fool's yet. Absolutely brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enervation Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 One of the best videos I've seen yet that summarizes my excitement for this game. At the very least, it'll help people get interested in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keywork Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) MMO with Dedicated PVP servers, a first. Now the first one wasent so much an MMO than an instanced RPG but i will tell you what the PVP was fun. I saw Totalbiscuit has alot of footage from the game from gamescom, like him or not its good footage PVE PVP Edited August 31, 2011 by Keywork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 You know, I would love to buy this game, but they've gone so long without mentioning a release YEAR that I'm starting to worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keywork Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 From the looks of it i sense mid 2012 to fall, seems like the best option for them to release it. It looks as if its pretty straight on its track and its not gonna falter. They are releasing the good bits of info as confirmed features. Lets hope im right, 2012 is gonna hurt my wallet something fierce, SWTOR,WoW,GW2 initial purchase+possible PVP items, Firefall and Wildstar Online. /cry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Firefall shouldn't hurt your wallet unless you must have the microtransactions. Guild Wars 2 does look mighty good (and I've always been a fan of the 'pricing model') but I doubt I'd have the time or patience for it, as with most MMOs.

I think its worth getting for the PVP alone, i mean the first Guild Wars is worth it for the PVP. Hell you can buy the pvp on its own if you like. If you havent tried it its worth a chance. But then again not many others beside myself in the community are a fan of Hotkey MMO's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
