Guild Wars 2: Pre-Release Discussion

[vrumpt]

Hopefully we get info about release a little quicker now that loltera posted their beta schedule. Seeing as how NCSoft is trying get their property back anyway, wouldn't be surprised if we see an increase of activity. Not that tera is worth giving an ounce of fuck about, i'm still hoping its an excuse to pick up the pace and be less vague.

Theres more happening than you know, though im not at liberty to say.

ArenaNet only gives us 2 lines worth of info a month; this shouldn't be too difficult.

[Takiwaki]

So from the tweets going out . . "Guild Wars 2 beta invite acquired. Look for coverage at 6 AM pacific on February 20." From IGN and the likes

Seems the nda will not be too strict for the press beta event.

Excitement!

Do we have anyone from the forums in the beta?

[vrumpt]

I'd give my left nut for a beta invite.

I don't see any tweet like that from IGN. Though it's possible websites have special privileges to release specific information for buzz reasons. If I had to guess, I'd say that the NDA for normal people would be very strict. It's so early you'd pretty much have to know somebody to get in.

Anybody know anybody? Accepting all forms of "My X who knows Y who works at ArenaNet".

Check your tweets now IGN everywhere! lol

also for IGN the original tweet was from Charles Onyett a writer for IGN.

[Celeras]

Yeah just popped, guess you were on it quick lol. https://twitter.com/#!/IGN/status/165531511569924098

Still though, wouldn't expect widespread info.. probably just a controlled thing with the websites.

[vrumpt]

Johnathon Ross - Destructoid "Invites are out for the Guild Wars 2 beta weekend. Expect an impressions post on Destructoid from me later this month!"

Devin Connors - Tomsguide "GUILD WARS 2 BETA! Operation High-Five Everyone In Sight is go!"

Charles Onyett- IGN "Guild Wars 2 beta invite acquired. Look for coverage at 6 AM pacific on February 20."

Why not widespread info? What are you not telling us!?

[Vimes]

I approve of this vid.

[Takiwaki]

Nice vid one scene was misleading though, at the start of the norn part, the first shot is actually the kodan homeland or sancturary. the Iceberg city.

[Dantrag]

Unfortunately is stuff we've all seen 100000000000000000000000000000000000 times music was good though :d

[Celeras]

How dare you link a fan trailer without a disclaimer. Crushing the momentary hype of millions!

[Vimes]

Fuck the hype Never did anyone any good.

If it'd be new footage, you would've seen it elsewhere first anyway, then on BG.

Should I apologize now for bumping the thread while I have no new info?

[Dantrag]

Fuck, if this game lets me down I'm done with MMOs forever.
