Guild Wars 2

[Chaos]

I've just heard the PVP will be like Dark Age of Camelot, with keeps and towers to take and defend, anyone given it a go yet ? I used to love the big siege battles so if this is any good I'll be on it.

The yogscast did a vid on it recently

It looks splendid, doesn't it? I'm not really one for PvP but I'll definitely be getting some of that action!

I've never played the original guild wars, do you think having an understanding of the 1st game is a prerequisite of being able to enjoy GW2 ?

In a word - nope!

Having checked the calculator I've seen its pretty much possible to play a Witch Hunter from WAR (as a thief) - soooo happy

Not at all but I would recommend you get the game anyway because it is still a good game

Interesting Article. This is why I have a lot of faith in Arena Net getting Guild Wars 2 right. Clearly they set out with a design philosophy 5 years ago which they have barely moved away from since. Whereas if you look at what Bioware were saying about SWTOR 4 or 5 years ago they promised something radically different and then due, mainly to EA's interference, delivered very little of it.

Also been reading some stuff about personal story and it seems that this is going to be far more involved and interactive than anything seen in an MMO before. Along the same sort of lines as the story telling in the first Guild Wars. Unlike in SWTOR you will be able to make decisions that will actually impact your story in almost every quest.

Am I the only person finding this beta too similar to other MMOs and massively boring?

Similar to which mmo?

I haven't played the beta but from what I've seen it seems quite unique in its combat gameplay compared to most MMOs I know.

Heh. I loved my mesmer in Guild Wars. Shutting down healers in PvP was amazing fun.
