Just wanted to put in a small update. IGN recently had a nice article acting like small poster boy for GW2, and a friend of mine showed me these awesome fanmade GW2 videos.

Enjoy.

Alright, underwater combat! Engineer previews! More dungeon previews! This is awesome!

Underwater, you don't have to worry about breathing, and you have skills and weapons created specifically for being used underwater. It looks very slick and very fun!

Here's a GameSpot preview of all the things (with underwater combat video!)

The sylvari are revealed, new design and all! Now they actually look like plant people, and I gotta say I like it!

I like that Sylvari artwork! I usually go for granola-y things like that in games. I played a druid on WoW for 4+ years. Although this time, in GW2, I'm leaning more towards a necromancer. I loved my minions in the first game!

The sylvari are a race though, so play a sylvari necromancer!

And we've got more info! Here's a bunch of info on the race in general, what they're like, their origins and things like that. If you're into lore, it's very interesting! We've got a new video with sylvaris in it, and an interview with two of the people who have helped shape the sylvari. There's a good focus on saying that the sylvari are entirely unique in the history of fantasy stories, and I'm really excited to see it for myself!

It's been a while since the last update, but quite a bit has happened still! First a new trailer for GamesCom:

Secondly, PvP was revealed through three blog posts.

And thirdly, I went to GamesCom and played a high level sylvari guardian, and it was awesome!

It's been quiet around here, but things are looking to liven up a bit! The mesmer has officially been revealed as the final profession, and the full reveal is due tomorrow!

And the beta is obviously not releasing by the end of the year, like they said -__-

I think the closest thing they ever said, was that there would be small, closed tests (alpha and beta) this year, which would determine when a real beta might come around.

Ugh when will this game ever come out.
