Originally posted by Yamota They were obviously thinking that the most mmo players will understand the meaning behind the trailer. When I see all the comments on "how awful" the trailer is and the dislikes you mentioned, it seems that unfortunately most people dind't. ^_^ They could had done it easier for people to understand and a little bit different but for the meaning it had and the message it wanted to deliver, it was well done. It showcased the connection between the mmo players and the old norm that mmos were carrying for years now making things stagnant. People that got "rebellious" (the sprayer girl) trying to break free from the mold (the gw 2 color under the guys "molded"/petrified skin) through the freedom and choice GW2 provides one with (unlike other mmos) after they wanted to have something different for a long time now. People that were "on the fence" and unsure if they should leave the old ways mmos worked behind, "gathered and walked over the fire", by giving GW2 a try and noticing that they can do things on their own without handholding involved (the guy that smiles after he made the experience when he walks over the fire on his own, making the transition). So no matter who you are (personal story), what "race" you are or where you are coming from, the time is now to step into the GW2 universe together and enjoy yourselfs the way you want it. It would had been better to let the narrator bring the message through a little bit of wording over, but all in all I didn't find it to be a bad trailer. |

Its original but I'm not sure if it sells Guild Wars 2 well . The game itself is the best mmo I've played since I first played Warcraft 7 in 2005 . I think its the quality of the game , nearly overwealming possative reactions in online forums and word of mouth that will sell it .But they also need a decent trailor so I think they need to have a rethink about this one . Do any of the people in it look like they would actually play an MMO ? |

Originally posted by Raekon Oh I got it alright, and I find it patronizing, over the top and borderline ridiculous. I would have never approved this had I been their comms or marketing director. |

What many of you fail to see is that this trailer depicts the symbolic breaking of the generic MMO formula. Where gamers constraints in generic MMO's have been lifted. Arenanets courage to step up against the norm and create a vastly differant experience than you could get from any other MMO. They have essentialy broken the holy trinity and givin us a breathe of fresh air. This trailer may seem disconnected and may not apeal to the average person but it shows what Arenanet has achieved in its creation of Guild Wars 2.

Originally posted by wartyxwt Lool , Exactly my feeling , i was looking for the skip button after a while. I think everyone was drunk or hungover from celebrating the success to much when they let this go trough. The idea would be nice and is not new , BUT FREAK it slooks like something totally off and made while on heavy drugs. |

Originally posted by Adiaris Why would that be "patronizing" or over the top and most of all ridicoulos? It showcases what ANet stood up for and it was to make a difference. My interpretation of the "walking over the fire" part was also slightly wrong it seems because it actually showcases the Companys courage on not being afraid to try something new. The woman in the water was the only bright color in a colorless world (since all mmos are rather "the same" in the meantime) until she sees the light that brings her into the GW2 world. A other guy wrote it much better and explained the whole thing better than me in the GW2 section of the forums. In my opinion the whole concept (even a bit heavy for the mass) and the message it delivers is brilliant. |

If you see no good or you see no bad in a game, chances are you are bias. |

Yeah, that was terrible. I much preferred the original GW trailers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAGS5-hhCcY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBAxPYq0WYw
Couldnt find a HD version of the first one, but it looked much better, still you can get the idea. I suppose the artsy crap worked for Sony, and most actual gamers already know of Guild Wars 2, so its worth a shot for them. |

I think it is awesome just because they actually dared to do stunt Like this...
Now with that said, I would not Air it on channels such as MTV/NBC/Fox(you get the idea). Because only 1% of viewers would get the message(others would just be annoyed with it) and out of those 1% perhaps 0,01% would actually go and Check out GW 2(really what is the chance that High School Arts Teach is going to be interested in games, let alone GW 2?). I'd Air it on artsy/Classic movies channels such as TCM. But that beats the purpose of it Heh. In short-they need new trailer for the masses. This is a trailer for us over 125 IQ and I ASSURE you that masses are NOT over 125 IQ(they are somewhere around 105-108 IQ). So, they need a trailer you can just LOOK without necessity of THINKING. With that said-I still prefer GW 1 trailers. Factions one was absolutely smashing-short and satisfying, yet it says everything it should and does everything it should do... |

I like it. It's creative, it's different, why always the same old? Strange, the SAME people who always wanted the Trinity away just "because it was done too often" now bitch because a game trailer is not the same as the old and known WOW formula.
Oh the irony. Holy Trinity who art in our MMORPGs! Blessed be thy speccs, as in WOW so in all MMOs! Our daily loot grant us, and forgive us our noobness, as we forgive the noobs! And do not lead us to disconnects, But deliver us from mediocrity, For thine is the specialization and the teamwork and the endgame, Until cancellation, Amen! |

Originally posted by Raekon Didn't we go over this in another topic? where i told you only because people dislike it doesn't mean they didn't understand it. And here you are doing the same. I understood the message behind the trailer and still think it is awful. Now go ahead and patronize me with one page reply. |

It's probably too different for the internet. |
