Guild Wars 2: Pre-Release Discussion

[Vimes]

March 24-25th; that's more than a month of no testing whatsoever. Guess they have work to do still.

[Guitarman]

Yeah bit later than I would've hoped but what you gonna do.

Watching the engineer video on the previous page, I laughed so hard at the humanoid that couldn't attack him back. Every time he shot it, the head snapped back hard. I was in tears lol.

[vrumpt]

Disappointed that we have a month to wait still. I'm hoping that they'll have smaller NDA'd tests between now and then, but they way they talk it doesn't sound like it.

In other news...

The renown hearts are a separate system and not counted in the tally when we talk about there being over 1500 unique dynamic events in Guild Wars 2. On top of the 1500+ dynamic events in Gw2, there are hundreds of renown hearts available as well.

These are two separate systems that compliment one another in a number of different ways, but we do not include renown hearts in the count when we talk about total events in the game.

...this game is fucking huge.

Late march is so far away.

So after watching some of the videos I have a question.

It appears that thief has some sort of energy bar that limits it's skill usage but I didn't really see anything of that sort on any other classes. Why is that exactly? or am I mistaken in some way?

[Rysa]

The thief's weapon abilities don't have a cooldown and instead use initiative, which is the resource bar above their weapon abilities.

Initiative. This should explain it.

So, how do we get us a Guild Wars 2 subforum?

[GoggleHead]

I think the game has to come out first.

That or we get enough posts to break the thread.

It's not out... and it some how got it's own forum outside of the sub-forum from the MMO section, which not even WoW got lol.

I don't get it either. Will be different once we get into a beta phase where people can play and it isn't under an NDA. All we really have to go off of right now is youtube videos anyway, and gawking at them.

I'm sure it has to do with Sonomaa playing or that it's technically been out for a year now in Korea.

guild wars 2 coming to consoles

It's still not 100%, but it's looking like it.

[vrumpt]

About as real as the Diablo 3 console version at this point.

[GoggleHead]

After seeing what shackling yourself to a console did to FFXI, why on earth would I want Guild Wars 2 to be available on a console? I don't really get it.

[madpersian]

Because the console is a mostly untapped market with millions of potential customers.
