New Guild Wars 2 video. (Update: Now with GS interview.)

Not very informative but pretty damn cool. :P Check it out.

There is an accompanying blog post here.

Update: There is also a short interview with this very site here.

Looks pretty awesome. We'll see how it comes together, I've been burned by MMO hype too many times.

That being said, GW1 was good.

Oh man it looks amazing!!!!!!!!

Oh wait...it is the same thing that they advertise about Tabula Rasa and it turned out to be a failure...

Oh is the same hype like Aion got and it turned out to be a failure...

Oh this is NcSoft,the company who left Lineage 2.... the best PVP/PVE MMO to die...

So yeah i dont care to much about what NcSoft is developing...i got screwed by them once to many times...

While it would seem from the first game that they would mostly be casters or something, every profession will be available to every playable race.

Oh well i didnt know it was not developed by NcSoft...i saw the NcSoft logo and blood raised up in my brain...

I would love to see that GW2 is something else(not only hype) and i will certainly play it...but i will not do the same mistake i did with Aion a rush for a subscription/beta before the game comes out...

P.S. Wasnt this chick(from the gw2 trailer)on the Aion NA developers team...maybe iam mistaken...

So basically they have made the respawn time longer than other MMOs....?

I wouldn't really call that innovative...

[QUOTE="StopThePresses"]

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"]

No, NCSoft is the distributor, not the CREATOR of the game.
So just cause Lineage or AION turned bad, it has nothing to do with GW2....

As for my personal opinion:

It looks amazing, but I think it's promising TOO MUCH.
Like that your decision ALONE will change a village....yeah great, but I just don't see it happening.
So what, a casual player then will never change anything, cause when he gets somewhere some other player would have changed it already...FelipeInside

Lineage 2 was lame, and old.

Also they are the publisher...so yea ur smart..??

They already explained in a previous article. It doesn't change it permanently, just for a substantial amount of time. Eventually some other event can happen that will put things back to whatever state they were in before. The main idea seems to be that people don't see the same content with every character every time. The other point seems to be to provide spots where players work together, as they are using it in place of a traditional quest system. They also said that events will scale by the number of players participating in them.

Obviously it doesn't make sense that people would routinely be able to change parts of the world permanently in a MMORPG. That wouldn't make a whole lot of sense from a practical standpoint.

The event system is hardly one of my main reasons for wanting the game, but it sounds more interesting than traditional quests at least. There will still be instanced stuff for some of the more challenging content for organized groups.StopThePresses

Yeah fair enough...

I am not bashing the game, this will be day 1 purchase for me. But I remember reading the developer diaries for AION, and they were exactly the same as GW2, and look how that turned out, so understand my skepticism...

im basing my hype off gw1 and how they improved the game vastly with each/most campaign or expansion pack, and not solely on vids. So i hope they will be able to improve greatly for gw2 from an already good game in my books.

I loved GW and this looks like GW + improvements. I cannot wait! I just wished they'd give some sort of tentative release date...at least for a beta or something. Either way, I'm going to be upgrading my PC just for this game.

What the hell does Areanet have to do with all the other games sucking? It isn't even NCsofts fault. NCsoft is just like "good idea.... makes me lots o' money... here money do good idea."

If this is f2p I will totally buy it. If not kotor takes priority. Areanet is fine and dandy but BIOWARE.IvanElk

Of course, one thing Guild Wars did was give you a rather limited number of character slots and then charged money for additional ones. I'll take that over a subscription fee though. I think the pricing on their additional item storage tabs (that they added years after the game released) was a bit proposterous since it costed as much as a character slot and a character holds more items. I guess some people will pay for the slight convenience though. I was pretty annoyed with the silly pricing on those, but it really isn't that big of a deal. I just do without them like I did all the years they weven't available anyway. :P
