    Am I going to assume that we are going to download a new client just before launch? So I can just delete the one I got installed right now or not.
    The client we got does not state whether it's a BETA client or not and I cant find anything on this. :3

    I believe I saw that answered as it's the same client, you'll just need to download the large upgrade before release.

    Yes, it goes a long way to trying to clarify or just better communicate the aspects of GW2 that set it apart. I thought it was interesting what they chose to deem as a "pillars" of GW2 though.

    Not sure on the length though. Pretty short/breezy. Seems a lot to cram into 1-2mins.

    I figure they figure the kind of people that would buy a game based off of marketing videos is the find of person that lacks the intelligence to have an attention spam exceeding 90 seconds.

    I wonder when they'll start with commercials for GW2 on TV, and am really curious as to what it will say. THAT is the true test to see how they'll try to hook people who see it within 20 seconds or so. When do you think they'll start airing a commercial?

    ..also, @Mif...ever gonna finish that cookie?

    The more interesting question is how long will they continue post-launch due to a certain other game coming out a month later.

    Like what? Everything they said in the videos appeared to be pretty common knowledge to me and probably the majority of us.

    Is there usually a conduct to how long before/after a commercial airs? I feel like it's something along the line of 10-15 days, then randomly here and there.

    Focusing on aspects that they think will draw more ppl.......and it has a lot more gameplay mixed in than the old Manifesto vid. They;ve certainly moved on a lot from that and worked out how to better grab an audience. The editing is much better........lol.

    I'm not a part of the US market, so I have no idea.

    Or what kind of awesome events does arena.net have in store for us when said game is released that week. Cool holiday? Crazy DE's? Server specific challenge?

    Any video with Ree Soesbee talking about GW2 is awesome if you ask me She's totally awesome.
    But I doubt there'll be a traditional TV ad for GW2, more likely a short showcase of what it is about. No CGI and no *not actual gameplay* = awesome. They could even shorten their MMO manifesto video for a commercial which explains quickly and effectively what the game is.

    Seeing as some people mentioned that the client we have now is the one that we will have for launch too, I have a problem where I have to have some files on the desktop to make the client not re-download itself every time, is there a fix for that?


    Also, the Personal Story "Pillar" makes me wonder if there will be much more choice in your story later on.

    Move all of the files (including the EXE) to where you want to move them, then make a SHORTCUT to the EXE on the desktop.. don't just drag the EXE.

    As long as all the files are in the same location and you have full permissions (read/write/execute/modify) on the files (owner helps if you can), then it doesn't matter where you put them...though Program Files would be the last place I'd put them

    You see I was slightly apprehensive about learning a new mmo and having to change my play style completely. But that is the thing that excites me. I won't be good at first but I know I will get a hang of it and will enjoy it.
