Forums - PC - Amazing Guild Wars 2 demo presentation!

There's a lot of things I like. How you don't have to group to join and do quests, you just jump in there and help. How they "encourage players to think of other players as always being a positive thing", for example by letting everyone be able to revive. How the outcome of dynamic events affect stuff in the world.

I don't like how he fast traveled by just teleporting to the capital city though. That's cheating.

I can already see a bunch of problems with this. How do you determine who gets what loot? If everyone gets goodish loot from these encounters, why should the shitty chobs get as good loot as the ones who know perfectly what they are doing?

Everyone are reqarded equally for participating in something, whether that's a small event, killing some random enemy or an epic boss encounter. The loot will of course be appropriate, but every player will be rewarded the same, both with loot and XP. This way, every time you meet a player in the wild, you can help each other out without griefing the game for the other player by stealing loot or XP from them. Basically, this means GW2 becomes a real cooperative MMO, instead of something like WoW where you have to team up with someone to share rewards, and if you don't team up, but try to help another player, only one of you will be rewarded. That's not all that fun...

If you are going to have endless epic moments, what the hell will you have to wow players when they reach the end of the game?

Depends on how epic the moments can get. The boss fight with the Shatterer seems very much more epic than the first boss battle with the centaur shaman, so imagine what ArenaNet might have in store when you get to the endgame.

If every profession can do something, what will the difference between a ranger and a warrior be?

Every profession can't do the same things. No profession can wield all weapons, and depending on what profession you are, you will handle a weapon differently. A ranger with a dagger gets assassin like skills, with some very acrobatic moves, backstabbing, etc., while a necromancer with a dagger get skills that suck life from their foes. So just because several professions can wield a weapon and be good with it, doesn't mean that they do the same thing.

I'll gladly answer more questions if you have any.



HOLY CRAP, this is amazing!!! I never though a not-Nintendo-made game could jump to 1st position in my top game list, but Guild Wars 2 seems just perfect! Day 1 for sure, best MMO ever!!



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)

Awesome, I'm glad you like it. And the fast travel system is pretty awesome, even if it is a bit like cheating at times.

Imagine some of your friends are doing some huge event far away from where you are, and they tell you about it, and you want to play with them. Well, with the fast travel system you just go there (if you've been there before, otherwise the waypoint wouldn't be unlocked), instead of using some mount to go a little faster than normal or fly there, but still take ages. What if that system wasn't there, and some of your friends asked you to join them battling the Shatterer when you're not busy and just standing around in Divinity's Reach? You'd never make it there in time!

And remember, all of this comes with no monthly fee!

Damnnnnnn! Gets better and better =D

It sure does, now we just need to get the game in our hands! What do you like best about the game so far? :D

I like how you can leap around to dodge things and position yourself. I also like the art style.

Yeah, the combat looks really great, fast and fluid. And the art is amazing! I love how they're doing the cinematics!

I 100% agree with this. That made me worried watching that video, how he said he wants everyone to feel like a hero and experience big things from the start.

Because I don't mind killing thousands of bugs and spiders when I'm low level. I actually like doing that.



I m not a MMRPG player, I never touched any I think

but, at gamekult.com, a very good french gaming site, the PC guy stated that the Guilty War2 presentation was very good and the end was insane to him !!!!

so perhaps, who knows ...



Time to Work !

Well, it worked in Oblivion so why not!
