Guild Wars 2: Pre-Release Discussion

there is no GW2 panel at Comic Con this year. wtf... they even said at last year "see you next year!" and this would be the best time for them to give a few last reveals. /sadpanda

**Cleverness** · 2012-07-10 19:49

With alittle over a month until release now I can't really imagine any other big unveils. Although just a video of the game and a Q&A session might have been warranted just to generate some more buzz.

**Lucavi** · 2012-07-10 19:52

^ This. I don't really see the need for a panel when the game will be out in a month. Perhaps a Q&A, but I can't see much else.

I didn't have any issues with the rate of XP gain. You just can't be a completitionist and not exepect to over-level content - thankfully it scales you back so I don't think it matters ultimately.

Oh god end game area sounds epic

**Takiwaki** · 2012-07-12 15:30

Rainbow shooting unicorn bow . . oh yea

legendary weapons sound sick, these are basically the equivalent of relics, but more quest centric.

2 Greatswords that combine into one, tricky part is you have to quest each one separately lol

Molten Hammer than actually leaves a dripping trail of molten steel, and turns you into a t1000 looking liquidy metal badass. .

**Arelian** · 2012-07-12 15:55

Is there an archive of the stream anywhere?

Edit: Found one! http://de.twitch.tv/guildwars2/b/324689481

Jesus endgame sounds amazing.

**Takiwaki** · 2012-07-12 16:16

here, there is a horrible echo at the start but its fixed shortly

Fricking awesome....

Not only are we going to get legendary weapons done right, but we are going to get to go back to besieged and this time its on crack.

Its going to be just like GW1 in terms of skill points, going to get skill points for leveling up and the challenges. So at 80 you are still gaining skill points as you "level up" and then you use those in the Mystic Forge to create stuff. Its like "meriting" with different rewards.

**vrumpt** · 2012-07-12 17:01

Ok yeah, endgame sounds pretty awesome. Orr sounds just amazing. Very happy with how they are utilizing skill points at 80. Merit Points revisited!

This game is gonna be amazing...

**Alderaan** · 2012-07-12 17:13

Now if we could only nuke Guru from the face of the earth, all would be well.

Complaints about rainbow shooting bows had me lol,

I also love that its all just for looks. No feeling the need to rush or finish a certain weapon because its just more "useful" or more "powerful" lol

I saw that and rolled my eyes. The people on MMORPG are bitching that endgame isn't sandbox, as usual.

**Meko** · 2012-07-12 18:18

The legendary weapons...I jizzed...in my pants.

**Azull** · 2012-07-12 18:27

I want it now!

**Rhyis.** · 2012-07-12 21:43

Renown ranks up in this.

**Shuichi** · 2012-07-12 21:53

Damn, Orr(sp?) sounds amazing. Just nothing but dynamic events. No hearts. Gonna be crazy.

**Arcana** · 2012-07-13 03:49

This game cannot come soon enough, seriously. it sounds like i want that night great sword legendary although a charr with that ranbow bow would look pretty funny too.

**Zerocool** · 2012-07-13 13:41
