Guild Wars 2: The One Thread

[Merendel]

You're dead on actually, I just hope they add less bubbly faces for the male Sylvari.

I'm hopeing they add scar type features that look like fire damage. I really want to make a sylvari engineer thats a pyro and looks like he got a bit too friendly with his flamethrower at some point.

i didn't know that GW1 allowed you to remodel your armor, i just thought you switched it like most other games. can you show me a link of this?

you did just switch it in GW1. However the major difference is almost every armor art style had a max level version you could choose from and all max level armor had the same stats as any other avalible to that profession. If you liked one style you could use it and not gimp yourself. In a game with wow's model if you really like your classes T6 armor your stuck and cant wear it if you want to fight in firelands(till transmog is in)

Norn under snow leopard make a lot of sense story wise. I'd rather a female sylvari engineer buttttt that's just me

Sylvari Thiefs make just as much sense, just look at Caithe.

OT: I just learned Caithe is a lesbian.

She's not a lesbian, she's just anatomically female.

cannnot wait to play a charr engineer

How they would even implement melee skills for Mesmers is beyond me. Can someone tell me what they would actually hit people with? Would it be like psychic energy?

DO NOT SPEAK OF SUCH THINGS! I'm barely able to sit down again because of that skill.

[StationaryHawk]

I don't think male Sylvari look half bad. I'll likely be making one as a Guardian, once I've played my Charr Warrior for enough time to allow myself an alt. The bark skin looks pretty cool.

"Your melee attacks neither hit nor fail to hit"
*head explodes*

That answered my question pretty well, thanks.

Basically what it means is that your melee attacks don't do damage and don't proc abilities like Riposte, Deadly Riposte and Gladiator's Defense. They also cannot be blocked or evaded.

[Pud'n]

I dunno about that. Half of the Necromancer's weapons are melee based.

I guess sticking to melee only would gimp your character somewhat with all the slows and immobilize effects in this game.

Warfans? I always imagined GW2 Mesmers as utilizing warfans since I saw this piece of Mesmer concept art.



Though realistically speaking, I doubt Warfans will be added because no one would take them seriously.

hm the purple woman is a concept art from gw2 yes, but the mesmer sign or anything else isnt. actually the wallpaper was made by fans, so i dunno if u can rely on that...

It does pretty much fit the silhouette of the remaining unknown though.

Still seeing overwhelmingly positive reception from the press. Keep in mind that all we've seen so far is press demos, so it might fall in to issues down the road. However, this game isn't even in beta yet, and it already looks super polished.

Not really if you look at the shadow the figure is wearing a hood.the model is also a norn it seems which proffesion would fit norn more I wonder.

[Pat1234]

Just to throw a little tidbit of information to you guys... The people behind this game and the original Guild Wars were the original creators of battle.net and programmers for the original Starcraft / Warcraft / Diablo titles. You know that they make some quality games, and now that Blizzard is owned by Activision I'd have a lot more faith in this developer to deliver quality content.

[Skelington]

Actually, im starting to think they intended for this to happen. Random art of a mesmer, a silhouette that resembles it, leaving the entire fanbase concluding it will be a mesmer, when in turn, it actually wont be. Tis easy to say"next profession is something entirely new and the last is from gw1."

Not necessarily. While I agree the figure is a norn female, the silhouette doesn't portray a hood to me

[Newbryn]

Well at the end of the day all we can do is wait until Anet reveals.

[Agent TunaGhost]

Indeed Indeed. Either way lets hope for more game footage from eurogamer

[ro9ue]

At this point I think it has to be a mesmer. A lot of fans want it now. There really isn't any other niche for the professions to fill either.
