- What will be the biggest diffrence/improvment from GW1?

 GW2 and GW1 are largely two entirely different games. For one, GW2 is a full-scale MMO, it is not heavily instanced like GW1 is. GW2 features a large connected open world (although I heard there are some loading screens). GW2 uses a questing system unique to the genre called Dynamic Events which also cascade. Further, the combat in GW2 is also more advanced than it was in GW1 with dodging and other mechanics.

 Beautiful challenging adventure.

i was in the beta event and i gotta say they i really had fun in the game and the mechanics were simple, yet interesting. im sure you would get into it and enjoy the time you spend in there. definitely felt like a game i would enjoy playing atleast 3-6 months easily, and thats a keeper in my books :)

Hi there guys.
Ofc Ive heard alot about this game since its the most hyped game this year (so far). But I havent put much work into getting to know the game. I must admit that GW1 didnt impress me much. I played at the launch and can only talk about the first edition, but what really turned me of was the "invisible walls" in the game and the feeling of beeing lonely in an instance.
 
Well I would appreciate some info if you care to help me.
 
- When do you think the game will launch? In like 2 months or in 9 months?
- Will the beta start frequently from now if you have pre-ordered the game?
- What will be the biggest diffrence/improvment from GW1?

Ty all folks for your answers!

First question - we don't know nobody those sorry.
Second question - we also don't know we all hope its more frequently but as it seems now ones a month and maybe some tress tests.
Third question - Everything from no invisble walls to jump to dynamic events and so much more two totally different games. Gw2 is real MMORPG.

FUN-DYNAMIC-GORGEOUS!!!

How about casual gamplay? Yes I know u can spend 1h or 20h each day on whatever game. But will I be competative with playing...lets say.....3 hours each day in GW2?

I think becouse it focus about community gameplay you will find that GW2 encourage team up with others naturally this means you dont need to party or get in raid group its all auromatic you just see people killing mobs or a huge boss and just join the events participate. There is no kill stealing loot stealing or any of that everybody can revive you and PVP is seperated from pve world but pvp worlds are HUGE and awesome.

Ok...one last question.

 

If I preoder the game now....will they charge me right away or untill the launch?

 

Thanx again for the answers folks...much appreciated...I will go look at thoose links now.

Remember that you need pre-PURCHASE the game for enter the betas. Pre-order don't give you a chance to enter beta.

     I say end of June or July but opinion vary

     I doubt it.  Anet has not operated this way in the past.  They generally restrict Beta to semi-rare week end events and do in fact use them to test.  They then have a1 or 2  preview weekends which, while not guaranteed to be the final product, are meant for marketing/letting people try the game and are not really tests.

- What will be the biggest diffrence/improvment from GW1?

          That depends on your point of view.  But GW2 is a far more free-form world than GW1 you can change you skill load out at anytime (very very important different). GW1 PvE was quest driven GW2 is event driven.  For me GW1 always had the feeling that you had to slog through hordes of monseters to get to anyting interesting whereas GW2 is a true exploreres game due to zone construction and the event system.  Finally GW2 is very actiony in combat compared to GW1.

   Attention to details.

You still need to slog through hordes of mobs to do that exploration.  You can't take a single step off the beaten or unbeaten path without running into angry mobs.

I ran my human from the human starting area all the way to the Norn starting area without getting attacked once. It took a lot of patience but I made it there without engaging in combat once.

Well, I am in the same boat.  I either have 30 minutes, or 3 hours to play at a clip...depending on when my daughter wakes up from naps.

I am no PVP expert, I am playing the game for its PVE content mostly but will dabble in PVP.  However, theres World vs World vs World and battleground PVP.  I forget which one, but one of them bumps you up to max level with so so gear so that everyone is on equal playing field.  So if you played 1 hour a week, and still lvl 5 when everyone else is 50, in this specific instance of PVP all is equal.

three words to describe:  Potential, experimenting, hype.

Potential: The questing/dynamic event system along with the combat system being so dynamic and all of the abilities you can use, this game has LOADS of potential to be fantastic. 

Experimenting: I think ANet is taking a gamble with their end game.  "there is no end game, the whole game is end game" is what they say.  I dont buy it.  If the whole game were end game there would be no levels or character progression.  The fact that there is suggest theres a max level, and with a system of levels and a max level there should be an endgame.  The fact that there is none, worries me as well as others.  Thats not to say they cannot pull it off.  I hope theres enough content for a max level character to play through and to challenge him/herself. 

Hype: This game is, I think, overhyped.  The beta and player reviews of the beta were not as high as the hype.  I did enjoy my beta time, and I am really looking forward to the next one (even todays stress test.  I hope it isnt too laggy :) ) , but only time will tell if this is the end all be all MMORPG.  The amount of hype it has received, the game should have probably 5million+ purchases within a few months of release.

needs 4 words:

Best MMORPG in years.

Pre-order however is completely optional. Absolutely no harm in waiting until release, and maybe get a free trial before purchase. First-hand experience is always better than asking random people on a forum :)
