    Alesia agrees with you.

    They were releasing new expansions in under a year. Yes, there was a huge lul in activity after EotN launched, but they've come full circle and have begun releasing new end-game content that's hard as balls. The War in Kryta and Hearts of the North. A new Canthan arc will be out soon as well.

    On topic, tanks are NOT needed in a MMO. As stated before, why would a super smart monster or person completely ignore the caster in the back keeping everyone healed up? The fact that they DO ignore said players in any MMO is stupid. Bosses should be beating on everyone equally, and ALL players should be helping to keep everyone alive and not taking a ton of dmg.

    That will make encounters more complex, well thought out, better planned, and more fun.
    From a different PoV that is kind of silly how some games do work like that OMG THESE ARROWS HURT SO MUCH, but this tin can in front of me is giving me a bad nose itch! must fix itch first then pull out arrows later!

    Beyond that, having no designated tanks/healers means that there shouldn't be automatic wipes due to a crucial role DCing or having a computer that faceplants during high activity.

    Yes, I like how there is no specific person you need to rely on or if someone dies you won't wipe.

    The only thing I had a problem with was that you could revive as many times as you want, but they said it will take longer and longer the more you revive, which is a good balance.

    ArenaNet is having a video contest. Some cool prizes for the winners. I wish I was somewhat creative to make one.

    I've been watching a ton of GW2 videos and I am definitely hooked, but I can't seem to find any real high quality ranger gameplay videos. If anybody knows of one, could you hook me up? Really interested in seeing their combat style in particular, but anything will do. Thief gameplay would be awesome too. I saw one vid in the thread somewhere, but that's the only one I've seen so far.

    Maybe a small list of profession-specific videos could be compiled on the main post if enough videos are found to make the section worthwhile? I think that would be good.

    This game is definitely worth paying attention to.
    The video isn't a contest entry, I was still editing it when they announced that.

    Let me know what you think!

    This might be a dumb question sorry. Are there specializations for the classes or does it just depend on your weapon type that differentiates how you play a class?

    Also is it pvp like Dark ages of camelot type? I am not sure I understand the pvp system.

    I don't know much about the PvP, or anything about DAoC, but as for specialisations, there is a trait system that you use to improve your character in certain areas. I think the following links could explain it a whole lot better than I can!

    Well I keep hearing about realms fighting against each other and its not just fighting against another faction. So I was wondering if it was like daoc where they had 3 realms fighting against each other and at times 2 of them will work together to help kill one off and its a bit more entertaining since it wasn't as cut and dry one faction fighting against the other. Or does realm just mean server when its used in guild wars?

    ok cool I think I understand the traits a bit now. I was confused and under the impression people could do anything simply based on what weapon/stance they were in at the moment.

    Also are there going to be mechs that the Asura either control by magic or ride in?

    I don't think you will be able to dodge/roll over and over. From what I heard it sucks a bit of energy to perform such maneuvers, making it something you have to do situationally and be smart about when you do.
