Guild Wars 2: The One Thread

If you were here I'd slap you with a giant wet fish!

Even though I know Guild Wars 2 doesn't have the meaningless "pre-buffs" WoW does, and that alot of the gameplay will include mixing your skills with your partners', I still think 2 more skil slots would be just perfect.

Even so, I think I'm in for a pleasant surprise, because to be fair, the meaningful skills you use on any given WoW's spec are very few.

Well, I can't speak for people still playing WoW, but I have no problem giving TOR a small sum each month to give me that game, and then keep GW2 for casual fun. Both games will be huge and different enough to keep me wanting more from each.

Yeah, that I can understand, since SWTOR will be new and exciting to explore. But WoW on the other hand, it's ooooollllldddd!!!

LOL

I've been in this thread since day one. =p
Fighting or putting people down for liking another game is silliness. They both look like fantastic fun to me.

Some people are just intimidated, that's all. I'm getting both game because I'm a fanboy like that.

On topic: Yes i have already decided that im playing a Guardian and Warrior and they are both going to be support based. I MIGHT role a elementalist at one point, the other professions are classes i usually stay away from in mmo's.

I can't wait for GW2. I quit WoW because of burn out (not lack of content or any lame excuse like that, just after 6 years of it I just couldn't do it anymore) but I LOVE MMO's and I need an MMO in my life because I can only take so much TF2/SC2/L4D2 =P. I really hope this game comes out near the end of the summer or at least this year.

Beta will start this year and they told their shareholders that the game would be released by 2012

Hi all! Just finnished reading all 112 pages and decided to register after lurking on the forums for like 2 years :P

Am I really the only one who will choose my race depending on their racial abilities, no matter how the starting zone or looks are?

This is of course only if their racial abilities actually matter in pvp though, if not Im probably going to play a human or azura scholar of some kind :P
Id like to see some more gameplay videos before I choose my class and race and I proably wont have a clear plan before Im staring at the character selection.

God I cant wait til the game comes out!

[Valeron]

Welcome to the thread, Insaint.

About racial skills, they are pretty much there for flavor. They will be lesser versions of the actual skills in the game.

Dude. You are a trooper! Welcome! =D

They said the racials will be lesser than profession based abilities, so they wont be game breaking or anything, mostly just cool stuff you can do like the Asura Battlesuit.

And picking your race doesnt only affect your starting zone, it decides your whole personal storyline.

[Insaint]

Doozer: Would you mind elaborate on that? You could say racial skills in wow was there for flavor and to make the differences between all races bigger. Even though racials are kind of like small gimmicks they can be pretty gamechanging in both pve and pvp situations.

Trolls: Thanks allot! I just couldn't stay quiet anymore. Even though Anet are releasing very little info I feel I should help in preventing this thread from ever getting lost even if its still on the top of page 1 atm :P

Edit:
Blizzcon: Even if racials only give the tiniest age in combat it will heaviky impact my decision :P Im just like that

And I wouldnt know much about storyline before playing the game anyway so I cant really choose the most awesome storyline before actually playing the game first :P

I wonder how many ppl just read what we write and dont even have an account o.O


Hey you! yes you! go make an account now!

What about race "x" starting in the zone of the race "y" ? What will happen to the personal story?
As i said before i will probably never play a Norn, but i love their ice/mountains/forest/viking theme, and i wonder what happens if i start there as a human.

[Insaint]

1053 members and 11250 guests online atm so I would guess quite a few! And I only registred because I felt I had something to add to the discussion. So if you dont have anything useful to either yourself or others to add, you shouldnt really make the effort:P

[Snakez]

I worry about racials too, but i worry more about aesthetics, and just like in WoW, the female human looks the best so far in GW 2

[Insaint]

Why worry about aesthetics when all the races look good? :P Im probably not going to play Norn though for any of my scholar characters unless I really love their racials. Even though they look cool, I just dont feel they fit the scholar theme as well as the other races :P

[Snakez]

I like to feel slim/swift, Norns are too big. Maybe i will like the sylvari redesign, dont like plants tho
