Guild Wars 2: Pre-Release Discussion

[niwaar]

That elementalist looks pretty damn awesome. I can't wait to play one myself. Finally getting to get away from being a permanent tank will be fun.

I watched the other vids in that series as well. Guardian looks really interesting, while Warrior just looks like pound pound pound.

[Alderaan]

The skill that ele's use to turn into a tornado and just blow everything up in their path looks so awesome. Every time i see a new combat vid, i swear i go "whoa".

[vrumpt]

How is turning into a tornado not just the win button in pvp. I really want a team full of elementalists, and have us pop tornado all at the same time. Guaranteed pants soiled for anybody who turns the corner to see 7-8 tornadoes. Even better in world PVP, and just have Tornadoes rolling over the fields. Good stuff.. can't wait to try it...

[Zerocool]

Lol, that's awesome.

Wonder how long it took to program AI to do that vrs the normal stand there and attack.

Probably not long actually, "if range to target <=x move!" lol I know it would be more complicated than that, but stands to reason, people are just a bit lazy. We have seen ranged mobs try and stay at range before, but nothing actually kite.

Arenanet needs to come out and give us a beta date and the last profession already.

We already know its going to be a "scholar" prof, so what are we expecting? Mesmer? or maybe something a bit unique?

[Katlan]

can't wait for this game. so hyped. I'm kinda glad it will be a later in '12 release since if its a june/july release i'll be on summer break for law school >.>

[Takiwaki]

Too bad they couldn't find a female Steve Blum anywhere. Gotta be another, younger Carol Channing out there somewhere...

Thanks for turning me onto this game. Now I'm going to eagerly join you in awaiting its release.

Half price for Guild Wars 1 Trilogy and Eye of the North

http://www.blogcdn.com/massively.joy...norama_425.jpg

This coming weekend, ArenaNet will offer the original Guild Wars Trilogy and its expansion, Eye of the North, for half price. The trilogy is $14.99 and Eye of the North is $9.99. $25 for the whole package is a killer deal. The sale runs from November 25 at 12:01 AM PST through November 28 at 11:59PM PST only in the NCSoft Store and the Guild Wars in-game store.

[Hyan]

It's... still 50 bucks full price? After so many years? dayum

[Gokulo]

Quite justified though, I guess.

[Elrina]

You've been able to get all of it for $40 on Amazon for at least six months, but yeah, $25 is still a deal for the full package. I'm probably going to bite, even if I don't start playing right away. :3

Going to wait to see if it goes on sale at Amazon or on Steam first, and if not then I'll probably pick it up on Monday.
