So we've seen how bad the press is, now let's watch some much better players

[grandpab]

This first one is a Mesmer, and it's one of the better videos I've seen. He uses a wider range of abilities, as well as talks about what's going on.

It buffered kinda slow for me so you might want to pause it and let it buffer for a little bit before you try to watch it.

This is one of an Elementalist that changes attunements quite a bit.

This one you've probably seen, it's gone around these forums a bit the last day, but it's one of the few videos where you get to see somebody dodging in PvE. You can skip it to 3:20 if you'd like.

I'll add more if I find any, and if you've seen any footage that's worth posting here then please do so because I think we'd all like to see it.

Try to keep the topic about the good players that tried to make an effort, and just forget about the bad press

Wow, you're right. The buffering on this is awefull. But I'll let it buffer while I eat lunch.

Edit: Damn, this guy is good. PvP looks alot funnier when you see what the characters are actually able to do.

I will pop these open when I get home, Thanks Thad!

Really nice thanks It gives a whole different perspective on the combat system when it is done right. Mad props to the french guys from jeuxonline.info, that was some seriously good questing for a change.

[Mortezu]

Thanks for the videos! I think the way GW2 is "supposed to be played" is exactly how the elementalist did. Switching weapons to use all your spells effectively depending on the situation, whether it's pvp or pve.

[Exerionx]

Thanks mate, I know it's a new game for the testers but sheesh, it's like they didn't look at / research GW2 at all.

EDIT: I think it's a slow buffer because it's definitely 720p or even 1080p.

EDIT2: Elementalist video is really good. Gameplay and nice music.

[Noomz]

First link is just another damned mesmer video.
Second link is terrible. It's just someone that's taken footage from other people and mixed together from the looks of it. The editing is terrible.

Why am I not surprised that the best player I've seen in Guild Wars 2 was Asian?

Anyways, THAT'S how you fucking play an Elementalist!

That is actually Izzy over at ANet.

Ooooohhhh. I see... He's got secret training!

I really liked the Mesmer video (and the commentary). Thanks for posting!

They are playing on lowest settings as possible or game engine looks that bad?

Beta + Low Settings

[Adoris]

If you are reffering to FPS drops or sluggish videos, that's kind of what recoring software does to a game.
And ofcourse it's beta, and betas are never optimized. What confuses me is the statement about the game engine eventually "being bad". I can understand the aesthetics might not appeal to you, but by far the engine cannot be described as bad looking.

[Blufossa]

Are there any Ranger videos with the person playing actually using their pet properly? Or is pet AI screwy? And are pets durable or squishy?

I want to be able to play THE "pet class" without having crappy AI or a squishy pet.

[Deleted]

Oh my, I haven't seen those videos, thanks for the share. It also looks like they know what they're doing, kind of

That ele video is my favorite.

[Ashgar]

The elementalist video was the best one I've seen so far.

I enjoyed the Elementalist video.
