    Cool. Anyway, this game is looking really awesome. My only worry is whether ArenaNet will be able to keep up with server maintenance, customer service, and adding additional content without charging a monthly fee. I know GW1 is doing it, but I'm guessing GW2 will have tons more people which will mean more servers to rent/purchase and maintain, more customer service needed, and more content to keep the players interested.

    I wouldn't mind paying a small monthly fee in order to make sure the game continues to run smoothly.

With high praise like that from someone who can be so critical of games, it makes me even more excited about the game.

    It's also nice that someone who has such large following is actively promoting the game. Can see alot of people who didn't care, or were on the fence previously, starting to follow the game now.
    I agree completely. The fact that he couldn't find anything wrong with the game was really good to hear. It's got my hopes really high. He usually does find things to pick at in most games he reviews, but I'm really pleased with his opinion of it. For once, I'm actually looking forward to seeing more of his videos. I'm interested to hear what he thinks of PvP.

    For anyone who doesn't want to, or doesn't have the time, to sit through his 40 minutes of gameplay, he gives a good summary here:

    He gets so excited talking about it!

    They will have a cash shop (like GW1 has) at release, and from what I know they are expanding what they are selling (nothing that effects actual gameplay). So they will have more box sales and more cash shop sales to cover the costs of more players.

    I think its a a normal thing the pages only do 20 post's so every 20th post makes a new page but is on the old page so it does what happened to you.

    PVP Q&A

    I really need to stop watching all these videos, they get me so hyped for this game it irritates me that it won't be coming out until next year.

    I just watched the Total Biscuit Charr demo on page 275.

    This game realy does look very good, after 5-6 years of wow i realy, realy, realy dislike the whole targeting auto attack mechanic, quests that require you to do this over and over and over again, new area same thing.

    Its very interesting where different weapons do different things and you have access to them as long as you use them, unlike some talent tree which railroads you to only one track, the game itself seems very pretty and i noticed when creating a character it had 3 different fraction choices to ally itself too, so you seem to be not stuck to one type of race per fraction.

    I've never played Guild Wars, a long while ago i made a choice between warcraft and guild wars, around 5 and a half years and burnt out with wow, this game looks good and i think i will be considering purchasing it and telling my other friends who i have met in wow about it (they are becoming tired with warcraft too!)
    I also had a look at SW:TOR and it did look promising but i watched some boss battle thing, you were on a ship, it was all target this, it looked awfuly weird, that 2 guys could lay into someone in metal armour for 2 minutes beating them with lightsabers...it turned me off, warcraft in a different universe....

    The SW:TOR looked like a step forward from my point of view as a well seasoned wow player as it had a very different enviroment going for it however it seemed to close to what i have grown bored of, this Guild Wars 2 however seems like a leap up my street, i am a big fan of actiony rpg's like the witcher 1/2 the fable series, zelda series, elderscrolls, although it is based the same way wow is in reguuards to fantasy swords and magic the game mechanics looks very fun and fresh it was something i didn't know would be put into an MMO.

    Thankyou for posting the videos

    It's not a faction. Everyone is on the same side in GW2, because they want people to play together.

    The choices are to kick start what's called your personal story.

    Personal story has a lot of RPG elements, and evolves the story of your character.
    You have a personal home instance (which is a full district of your racial capital, and friends can visit if grouped with you) that will change with what you do. The often used example is there will be an orphanage and a hospital on fire, and you can only save one. So say you choose to save the hospital, in your home instance the orphanage will stay burnt down, and all the kids will hate you.

    Ah i see, so the different fractions would be the guilds, the starting fractions are to give your story depth.

    This home instance sounds interesting, is this home instance shared with all the other players of your race, do you get your own home? I can remember reading about SWG or LOTRO having player houses/guild halls.

    That player is pretty bad. All he does is auto attack the 1. Does he ever even hit the 2 button?

    It's specific to you, and the location varies between race.

    Humans get a district of Divinitys Reach
    Asura get their own personal lab
    Charr get a baracks
    Norm get a lodge
    Sylvari get a tree (typical hippys)

    These are the basic biography questions so far.

    This is an old video from last years Gamescom, if you skip to 25:45 you see the start of personal story for someone who has chosen to be born a noble.
    Even though it's a bit old, it's a good video, and is worth a full watch through when you have the time.

    Edit: Updated the racial home instances, seems I haven't been keeping up :P

    It's sad you have to go into a virtual world in order to ruin someone elses time in order to escape what ever shitty life you have.
    You mad? World PvP has nothing to do with ganking lowlvls or powerabusing other ppl who's trying to enjoy the gaming experience. Im just asking for some fun balanced world pvp where u actually require some decent skills in order to outplay your opponent. Be less dramatic u whiny fuck
