I enjoyed the fresh air that was GW1 but I had been sorta disappointed with GW2 until reading this. I am so excited for it now, I hope they succeed and push MMORPGs to the next level. This is where MMORPGs were headed before WoW pulled them back by making so much $$ with such a linear basic experience.

Originally posted by Christopher8 Frankly they don't have time to do it for Cataclysm. That gives a large window for GW2 and TOR to make headway and change what MMOs are about. Frankly Blizzard is going to have problems because they haven't done much to make story a big deal like it is in traditional MMOs (this is as huge as anything else that is coming to MMOs). As for new skills, well that will take a lot of design work and it doesn't look like WoW will have anything like that until AT BEST the expansion after Cataclysm. Frankly, I look at a lot of what WoW is doing and there's really nothing innovative. A lot of the changes down the road are as much about making things easier for the WoW devs as anything else. There's a lot of streamlining and/or expansion of systems, but Cataclysm isn't going to have any really new in it. Also, it will be hard to keep people from playing GW2 when it doesn't have a sub fee to fight with WoW over. |

Rift: Planes of Telara is also another MMOG announced using a dynamic system. Without a lot of official evidence to see just how dynamic they are taking these MMOGs, we'll just have to wait and see. I have my hopes up for sure on both of these titles. GW2 to me sounds the most interesting based on their design manifesto. |

To the above, next time just post a link to the official Flickr page (http://www.flickr.com/photos/arenanet/4558240121/) instead of breaking the page with an oversized image. And now for image analysis: judging from the higest resolution, thats the DX9 version with aniostropic filtering turned off. So for the full game, I would expect better graphics with the DX10 and with better options turned on. Its really good, IMO, to see that the Air ele is getting more respect this time around whereas in GW1 you were laughted at if you tried to PvE with one (Hard mode kinda evened this out though). Also, its probably good to note that the other character in the screen is dual wielding; looks to be a short-sword held reverse grip in his left hand, and some kind of mace in his right hand. That would be an exciting prospect if true; not only might we get the otpion to dual wield, but might we also get the option to choose a combat style/grip? |

Originally posted by therez0 Nope, to me he looks like a sin/thief with natural dual wielding daggers that look like swords although there definitely is dual wielding. If you didn't read it in the blog you can definitely see it repeatedly in the 4 art videos that have been put out. This is not a game. |

this is the most exctiting mmo news ive read all year i love how players can just play together and help each other without being formally grouped and without penalty so we can all finally just play together and enjoy one another and help one another im also glad they dont have quest text npcs we can just see the situation with our own eyes and react to it that seems like a more ergonomic method Guild Wars 2 is my religion |

Originally posted by Kenaoshi A-Net seems to be announcing classes via facebook. They have a messy image uploaded that they're gradually 'cleaning up' to reveal the classes. Elementalist was fully uncovered today and there are 7 more silhouettes remaining to uncover... so that's eight confirmed classes at least. :) EDIT: Here's a link to the current image - http://yfrog.com/j0img4unj |

Well we can speculate that based upon the revelation of the elementalist class and the fact that Anet wouldn't just completely throw away their classes, we can assume that we'll see warriors, a sin type of class, mesmers, and a monk type of class. |

And here I was thinking I would never get excited for an MMO again. Hot damn. It's really getting hard to contain the hype. I want to, but I don't know anymore. It just sounds so promising! |

i got a good feeling that they got those things Mike Obrien talked about nailed down in the actual game the main reason why ANET hadnt release alot of GW2 info till now is that they want to be sure that they can deliver what they promise their fans before they talk about it they're already playing GW2 in their office i believe priority for Beta will be given to current GW1 owners ;)

This is why I have a lot of respect for the way Anet deliver their information, they give us the info when they know they can deliver. It is exciting news and I'm looking forward to more. The emphasis on dynamic content gets me very excited and the social aspects just as much, they are hitting all the right buttons for me. Looking forward to that in-depth look at combat and can't wait to see what other classes are going to be in the game, there's a lot of silhouettes there! About the graphics - it looks a lot like GW1, it's the same engine so there should be no surprises there, even if they are just a slight improvement on the first game, everything that GW2 offers is easily enough to make me forgive any lack of GFX advancement. |
