Gw2 news

[Rhayader]

decided to create a new thread because the other one was so full of gorgeous pictures, it always took me 5min to reach the bottom because i always stopped to gaze at them.

you've all read the articles. they put up a roundup of the interviews.

Thanks for the links. You should be ashamed though - thread necromancy!

There is actually a recent thread for GW2 news-not-pics, it's the one titled "Epic Viral Campaign and Guild Wars 2".

I was going to merge these new posts into that one, but I can't find any tool to do so, and it doesn't matter really. Post away with any further updates!

[Mori]

Stuff from yesterday:

Do post links to any more you find - it's really useful to have it in one place!

[Erendis]

Time to bring in the aesthetic-minded crowd...

[Mori]

Modestly increased poly/texture res and normal mapping, huh? We should see a significant improvement in character appearances then. THANK GOD.

[Erendis]

More stuff about dynamic events blah blah snooooooore... I mean, uh, they sound awesome! Now let's move on.

[Mori]

And more... hopefully the last instalment now

Press round-up from the ANet blog carries some interesting new random tidbits:

And then some less interesting pieces, mostly from Massively, that just discuss articles and interviews we've already seen:

More cool stuff about personal storylines... and very important mention of how events actually affect you and the world. Because they do. Really. You know, in case you missed it the first 342345 times they mentioned it. YOU GUYS, STUFF HAPPENS AND IT YOU CAN LIKE, FEEL IT AND STUFF. It will be awesome, you guys.

[Mori]

So it seems likely that the major flow of information will follow the first hands-on public demonstration of Guild Wars 2 - at gamescom in Germany in August:

Wonder if they'll give us any new profession info before then?

[Infinity]

Introducing the Warrior

[Varda]

And some traits overview... They're not attribute points, honest!

[Muppet]

Bar brawls...
http://gw2.onlinewelten.com/articles,id ... rview.html
(OK, feats and achievements too)

[Varda]

And the oficial blog entry about all that here.

GW2 Ranger clues
http://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/p ... ns/ranger/

Pet shark anyone...

[Varda]

I'm actually disappointed with the ranger preview.

[Infinity]

Release the fucking game already!

[Sixxor]

Release the fucking game already!

What he said.

[Varda]

I think they're still in some very early stages. In every interview they keep mentioning that some things aren't in game yet, they need to be tweaked, etc. Hardles sounds like they'll have a beta ready in the near future. Still, I'm looking forward to the Leipzig convention thingy, where they'll demo the game. Should be some interesting info...

Don't stop watching when the credits come up...

Our Dragons Are Different.

[Erendis]

Our Dragons Are Different.

Are they? >_>

[Varda]

Sure. It's an electrical dragon, tsk.

I did like that video. The music and ingame images combined very well and I felt really excited about it, like I hadn't in a good time. Let me play the game already, so I get over it quickly....

[Infinity]

Holy dragons batman! http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2010/08/10/guild-wars-2-gosh/#more-35651

[Rhayader]

Hello necromancers.

Edit: There are potions in game, at least energy potions.

Someone stumbling around with a Charr here:

[Beraton]

Damn. I'm slightly surprised by this, but I'm getting excited about this game.

And in turn, that's making me a bit excited about the old GW1 again! You might see me in game a bit more than recently!
