Guild Wars 2

They have a few speech dialogue bugs to fix in such a small amount of gameplay :p

I want to see some elementalist footage of the Gamescon demo, Everyone is playing Warriors, Guardians or Engineers, and when they say 'Lets try something different to a Human this time' .... THEY ALL PICK A CHARR! :x
 
Cant wait for this game, not a huge fan of Charr as a race atm i dont know what i will be playing when it comes out. According to most people should be a 2011 release

Knockbacks look hilarious.
 
Most people who dont have a clue :p

Good luck getting through the Beta stage and then Gold status within 4 months for a 2011 release.

There was an interesting article in Edge about this, the game has been in playable alpha and treated as a live production game since 2007. They have proper servers for it, and people get paged if anything falls over. Anyone in Arena.net can play the game anytime they like.

There is no hard and fast rule to say it needs to have an extended external Beta or an Open Beta at all so...

The beta for the original was fairly small in terms of people playing - and extremely focussed (i.e open for 2 days to test specific feature x). There wasn't really an open beta for it just a couple of test events.

I suspect it will get released when it's done.
 
Them videos look really impressive. :)

Bar Prime:BFD I've been pretty apathetic regarding upcoming mmo releases watching one wow clone after another being trotted out. Hopefully this can offer something a little different, certainly the more I read/see the more impressive it looks.
 
I'm now on 16 points in HoM :D Slowly getting there.

A quick question, will GW1 run on a MBP? I've currently got no main computer as I'm moving house soon so its all packed away and the only thing I've got left is my MBP (2011 edition if that makes any difference)

I just noticed HoM and checked it. I have 3 points :p:D

Good idea from them though to get people playing/keep people interested in the original.

Indeed, but 4 months isnt going to be enough time for the current 'playable alpha' state to get through however small or large a beta they want, and then gold status as well.

You get 3 points for just having GW1 and GW2, and linking the accounts.. :D

As a target you might want to go for 30/50, this will give you all the in-game GW2 items. Anything above 30 will only give you titles which won't be so useful.

I'm 50/50 on my first account and 24/50 on my 2nd.

Can I realistically get 30/50 just clearing the 4 story's through to conpletion? (factions/proph/night/eotn)
 
Ok, heres the easy plan for 27 HoM points (then you only need 3 more):

http://hom.guildwars2.com/en/#page=...AA&todo=EAAAA8HAAACIwYwAgAnDAEAIAIAAAAAAAAEIA

Honor monument (titles)

- Complete Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall (easy to do, only takes 3-4 weeks). 3 titles for completing each campaign.

- Gain Masters rewards on every mission (easier if you do this as you go along using the official Wiki as a guide on how to get the masters reward. If you miss a masters reward, redo the quest until you get it - this is very good practice for later on HM too). +3 titles.

- After completing all 3 campaigns, repeat each mission on HM with masters reward. +3 title.

- +2 titles from eternal spearmarshal or lightbringer in NF = 11 title. You can easily get this up to 15 titles by completing each elite area once as well (UW, FoW, Sorrows Furnace, Deep, Urgoz, DoA - +6 easy titles to be had).

EDIT - Deep + Urgoz are very difficult to find groups for, but you can still obtain 15 titles from Eternal Hero / Guardian / Protector, Lightbringer, Sunspear, UW, FoW, DoA and Sorrows Furnace.


Fellowship monument (heroes and pets)

- Make a PVP character (starts at level 20). Equip Charm Animal (gives you an instant level 20 wolf). Go to the Zaishen Menargerie and add your level 20 PVP wolf. Relog to a PVE character, grab the level 20 wolf, add to your HoM. Free +1 point for an animal companion in just 2 minutes.

- Get a black widow spider from UW for the rare pet statue. Easy peasy to do with a full hero team, but most newbies that dont know UW well yet pay someone to do the run for them. + 1 point.

- Do the quest to gain the hero M.O.X. He counts as an elite companion that you can add right away for the hero statue point.

- Grind challenge missions to gain a few more hero armor upgrades. Get enough for a total of 10 fellowship statues (takes only an hour or 2 at the most).


Devotion (minipets):

- Do the cross campaign scavenger hunt for a free green black moa chick (counts for the unique mini pet).

- Buy any one gold, and then loads of white minis to get up to 20 minis in total for +5 points (first year white minis are super cheap to buy - but make sure you only buy clean undedicated minis).


Resilience (Elite armor):

- Save up for either Elite Kurzick or Luxon armor for your first elite armor, as this gives you +2 points, +1 for any armor, and +1 for either elite kurzick OR luxon (dont buy both).

If you later want to buy more elite armors to add here, EOTN ones are the cheapest.


Valor (Elite weapons):


- After Completing EOTN, you are eligible to do most peoples favorite end game quest line in the game - War In Kryta. This can only be done once per character, but gets you lots of nice rewards in the form of Royal Gifts and Medals of Honor. During your first run through, make sure you obtain as many medals as you can get (need 10), and then trade them in for an Oppressor weapon. Quickly achieving more Oppressor weapons will require completion of WiK on multiple characters, all of which must complete EOTN first (it took me 6 characters with WiK completions plus a lot of side quests to obtain a full set of 11 oppressor weapons, but for 30 points you only need to get 1).

- Do DoA (NF end content) a few times to get a Tormented Weapon. Doing this is much easier as a Ritualist as they are the only class wanted for HM speed clears, but other classes can all do speed clears on normal mode too using secondary ritualist skills (You need to have 'Destructive Was Glaive' for your elite, and you can speed clear DoA a few times to get enough gems for one tormented weapon).

- Save up 250 Granite, 100 Iron, 10 Onyx Gemstones, and 10 Diamonds plus a load of Plat (may have to buy the Onyx + Diamonds, but Granite + Iron are easy to farm). Craft a Destroyer Weapon in the entrance area of Slavers Exile in EOTN.


^^ Easy 25-27 points, obtainable in 2-3 months of playing.

or type /wiki [subject/item/mission/quest]

It'll open the Guild Wars Wiki, which will have the information you want, you may of course consider this as cheating.. but it's there if you want it.

You might also want to keep an eye on the daily Zaishen Quests. If one of them is for a mission you're about to do, I'd grab the quest as it's more XP and more gp for you, plus you get Z-coins, which will get you some nice items (Heavy Equipment Pack for example).

very intresting ;) spot on.


Brilliant video for the 'wah wah wah it has no fees' crybabies.

Server costs for Arenanet have NEVER been an issue. They have stated time and time again that their servers cost so little to maintain that they could pretty much keep both GW1 and GW2 running forever without generating any extra income.

You buy the game once, you play it forever. If you want extra content, you buy it via expansion packs (and OFC, not to mention that GW1 had, and also GW2 will have far far more extra free content added to them than WoW ever has).

The cash shop only sells extra character slots, storage, makeovers / costumes, and in GW1 PVP access and skill unlock packs (this will be entirely removed in GW2, PVP characters will have access to everything without having to grind or buy anything on day 1).

And did anyone notice how unbelievably lush those graphics are getting now??? OMG I MUST HAVE IT!!!!

Pretty damn amazing IMO.

Yes, if you have skill and actually learn how to play, you survive with any class:

Warrior - High armor, Shields, and defensive banners
Guardian - High armor, Shields and protective spells
Ranger - Block / Deflect stances like Whirling defense, traps, kill things from ranged safe spots, pets to tank / take agro
Thief - Stealth, Shadowsteps, some ranged combat but less than the ranger, you need to learn to evade and dodge to win, the developers said this is the hardest class to play
Engineer - Ranged combat, sticky bombs, explosives, mines, turrets.
Necromancer - LICH FORM OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!
Elementalist - Earth Attunement + Skills capable of turning you into the games most powerful tank (at the cost of being able to deal high damage), Water Attunement for healing, Air Attunement for blind, stuns and knockdows.

You learn how to play your class, you learn how to survive.
