Guild Wars 2: The One Thread

[Mif]

I'm kind of disappointed in the fatality animation. I was under the impression that each one would be unique to the profession. I hoped something more along the lines of an Engineer pulling out a pistol for a point blank shot. Hopefully this is just another placeholder animation (and to be fair, this one looks a lot better than the last), and we'll get proper MK style fatalities (although not quite as gruesome)!

I think unique profession fatality animations were just a community assumption, and not anything ArenaNet promised.

Although I too wanted my Engineer to put a pistol in someone's mouth

Absolutely, and that's what frightens me as well, if people will find some great bugs, the game could be delayed for another couple months. And I really don't want to see that happening.

I don't even care, look at the bugs in skyrim, IT was still released lol. I wouldn't mind them in GW2 if that meant I could play it sooner ;p

Hmpf.. Skyrim, that game isn't even 10% as big as GW2 is haha.

Off-topic:

Maybe not, but it is a good game. I've been ignoring it since my brother told me about it years ago because I had played Oblivion and Morrowind. But this time I just sort of said "meh" and waited until 11-11-11 to buy it. And I absolutely love it. They fixed most of the general problems that Oblivion had, and have some rich stories/Lore to go along with the quests.

I won't really compare Skyrim to Guild Wars 2, other than the fact that dragons can show up at any given time (i.e. like Dynamic Events) and they're a fun pain in the ass to kill, and worth it.

Also, you can be a werewolf early on in the game. Werewolf vs dragon, fighting tooth and claw, on the side of a mountain, to the death. Very fun and epic.

Hey, hey, hey! Stop showing off your skyrims!

checked out google trends earlier just for the fun of it, pretty surprising to see that the term "Guild Wars" is searched for more in Germany,Sweden, Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland and Canada than in the U.S.

I knew GW as a franchise is very popular in Germany, but the difference in popularity in Europe and the U.S. seems to be immense
(to put things in perspective, Belgium has roughly 11 million citizens

Now of course google trends is not flawless, but it does show the overall ... trends

I wonder if there's any correlation between me googling GW2 stuff a lot and my town of Brisbane being number one in the cities list

I was digging around in the wiki for a good wallpaper when I came across this:



They're called Fleshreaver Lords and I'm not sure what their deal is. They look like flying versions of the monsters from Amnesia. How horrifying.

EDIT: Description from the wiki:

The fleshreavers are a species that were once raised by Rragar Maneater over two and a half centuries ago. They are born as skeletal creatures whose growth and survival is assured by the parents layering the muscles and flesh of the dead over them. When they are strong enough, they begin performing this task for themselves, cannibalizing the corpses of their victims to add to their growing form.

Thought to be destroyed, some survived and have prospered since. The only known location of where the fleshreavers live is in the Charr Homelands and the Shiverpeak Mountains.

Badass flying zombie families confirmed for GW2

To anyone who doesn't know.


Rragar Maneater is a Charr Boss from Guild Wars 1, he made the Fleshreavers. Fleshreaver ARE also in Guild Wars 1. source.

These look mighty badass!

Oh yeah.. Maneater was a Mesmer.
