Just a short first impressions video, nothing we don't already know already. However, towards the end of the video he starts listing grievances regarding the community and I think they're all spot on. The GW2 community is shaping up to be insufferable and zealous.

[Kachiko]

Most games I've been in has had their zealous fans, and they are followed by the typical comments on the community. Maybe in a game, where player interaction had a negative affect on your play experience, this could be an issue, but if you're running around with people, who really really like the game, and you only like the game, but you're both enjoying the content, then what's the problem?

The problem is that the community is so enthralled with itself that I have to come to a FFXI forum to find half decent discussions about Guild Wars 2. I mean really, have you seen any of those Guild Wars 2 forums? They're absolute madhouses.

[Alderaan]

Every fansite forum is like that. TOR was really bad and so is TERA and TSW. Hell, this forum was the epitome of madhouse fans when XI was in it's prime.

I've been able to share concerns and bring up issues with certain class balance while discussing options. I tried doing the same with TOR but that was impossible.

[Arcana]

Oh noes a site dedicated to a single game shows bias, how shockingly new to the internet!

I give unto thee... some leaked video from a taiwanese game site of what appears to be an official trailer for the 2 in game Collector's Edition/Digital Deluxe Edition items.


That wolf elite is definitely cooler than I had originally thought.

[Dragir]

1) The way they presented the Rytlock minature is hilarious.
2) What is up with the "related videos?" I thought YouTube derived relationships from more than the title.
3) Why didn't ArenaNet release this video on April 10th?

[Celeras]

Didnt play latest stress test. Did they remove the red indicator from everything, or just other players/yourself?

[Takiwaki]

The red circle wasn't removed that new effect is just added to show a combo field in addition to the circles

[Celeras]

Ice spike definitely used to have a white circle around it when you used it yourself, vidya suggests otherwise. Its different, but I guess ill just wait and see for myself how.

[niwaar]

It would seem the removal would be an "optimization" thing. I think... I dont necessarily understand the need for a new "combo field" graphic when the much easier to render white circle was good enough. Removing the circle from non combo field AoE just is plain good sense. Removing unneeded graphical cues should help overall performance in large events/wvw.

I tested it myself if something can combo you get that effect instead of the white circle, but red circles are definitely there still also. It could also be that the person had the circles toggles off when taking that video. Check out some other videos on youtube on the same day, you can still see white circles and red there, but yea it makes sense if something can combo there isnt a need to use a white circle, we will see for sure next week

Interesting new image in today's patch...



Dunno if this is old or new, but it definitely looks like we may be getting a Pirate based Conquest map with a water combat portion at or near launch.

[Rhyis.]

Not sure what those two symbols are. The left one looks like supply, but I'm curious what the shell and elephant are.

[Takiwaki]

level 50 dungeon.
