Guild Wars 2

[mrbios]

but £50?!

Think about it, compare that to all other MMOs:
One off £50 payment, play whenever you want forever, go afk for a year? nps just reinstall and play, no messing with money, no worrying about cancelling sub when you dont want to play etc.

Other MMOs:
Pay £30 for the game then £5-10 per month thereafter, within a matter of 3 months you've paid more for one of those than guild wars 2 (or 5-10 months if it's a free game with sub only)

There it is in black and white for you

Apparantly theres another beta test this weekend. So hopefully more videos will appear on youtube next week to satisfy my need for this game.

Don't bet on it, there's an NDA in place.

 

[adey]

looking forward to this, any news on a full release date?

 

[Anon-e-mouse]

As a caveat to my above post, it appears that some people are in the event and not under an NDA, TotalBiscuit being one. He specifically mentioned this weekends event, and that he had plans for videos.

[Swarfega]

Ill try to find time to watch that later. Everytime I see the game I start getting excited

 

[Dave****]

Great vid. Thanks.

 

[djkav]

Yeh, nice vid. Looks like content won't be breezed thru unlike other MMOs. Its gonna make you work for it, thru out the levels

I never really understood GW or GW2 because I didn't really read much in to it but...

What is the point in leveling? I thought items didn't give stats?

 

[LeJosh]

I really want to get into the beta.

I've needed a new game to discover and find things for a long time now. I've played so many other games.

I really want to get into the beta.

I don't mind if I don't get into the beta because there are pros and cons. I almost didn't apply at all in fact.

The main pro is obviously that you get a sneaky play of the game in advance, but to me it's almost outweighed by the con that it's kind of spoiling the game too. When I first play GW2, I want to be able to just sit down and play, unrestricted and knowing I won't have to stop again in a couple of days and not even be able to talk about it.

 

[LeJosh]

That's true, I might go the 'savour it' route too.

When it comes to spoilers, to me I didn't want to spoil to much of SWTOR as it is so story driven, but GW2 on the other hand the vast majority of the game to me will be the WvW, so I care less about spoilers for GW2.

I just want to get in to the beta as it is still one of the games I'm unsure of, and after having bad ilum performance in SWTOR I want to make sure both GW2 and my PC are capable of playing WvW at a decent FPS.

 

[LeJosh]

Isn't there a big part on story because of the "chapters" you go through? Something like that.

 

[Dist]

There may be story in GW2, but that wont be why I'll be playing it. Same as games like CoD, they can have nice story but its the MP that is why so many people play it, and I see GW2 like that where there may be a nice story but WvW or the other forms of PvP is where most people will spend there time.

Obviously there are those who will play GW2 for mainly the story which is why I won't spoil it for others, but it's not important to me if I spoil it for myself by playing the beta.

Although that being said if you are interested in the story, there is nothing stopping you playing entirely WvW in the beta as the way I understand it you can level and play the majority/all of your time there, so it won't spoil the story when the game goes live and still gives you chance to play around and test.

 

[LeJosh]

Cool, that's interesting.

Only PvP I've done is WoW's and Mortal Online's. Excluding FPS games and RTSs.

I'm not sure how I'm going to tackle this game but I love the design and might just owe it to the writers to see what they have come up with story wise, it could be crap for all I know.

 

[Huw]

Well ArenaNet have been making lots of noise about the story and how it will be tailored to each character. They reckon it will be a major selling point. I'm looking forward to seeing what they have in store.

I tend to like the story and the go into the PvP side of things. Its just that PvP would be better towards the end because you have plenty of skills to make sure that you can survive the matches without being to restricted.
