I played the beta years back and it wasn't good, really just the foundations of the game sucked and they'll never be fixed. Mostly importantly for me is the game didn't feel like a world, it felt more like a series of maps.

I'm right there with you. When I played, it felt too much like it was on a linear path. The game world wasn't opened up, the borders were too prevalent. I doubt they've changed any of that, but who knows, maybe it can be fun in its own way. I was *really* excited for this game when I was watching all the videos and reading up on it back in the day.

I've received an updated newsletter with the expected items. Yay.

Click on Update Profile at the bottom of the page and you have your key.

Getting the client, well that's going to actually require some work.

Good luck to everyone! This contest is going to be intense! 

It doesn't look as good as I thought it did from the previous GW2 videos.

This brought back memories of the Night Angel Trilogy. Nice back story and build up for the world.

I hope it works out for them because the genre really needs something new and different from the norm, BUT as someone who enjoys playing healer classes, this above all else will keep me from buying GW2.

My guess is that you will group with people so you can do things that you couldn't do without them. Crazy right?!?!?

I love the pricing model on Guild Wars and the future Guild Wars 2. No MT. No Monthly fee, but you pay for expansions? Okay!

I agree with MT's are bad when there's a monthly fee involved for sure.

If there's no monthly fee and the game is free, I get the MT's thing, they have to make money some way.

If you're charging a $15 fee for a game and you include game enhancing MT items, lame.

Cosmetic purchases can sometimes be useful though. ;)

Since this thread is about the video, I'm just going to leave it at: Great video!

bah!

Please check back again soon.

I'd buy this game right now if it were available. Glad to hear they're doing this though. I really think it will add to the experience.

so you took your wife huh? Then we know there's at least one female there. rofl

Hmm... not impressed (and I really am looking forward to this game).

I'd have preferred that blueprints were NOT single use (kind of destroys immersion - if I had a blueprint to build a car, why would it suddenly disappear after I've built my first car?)  Also, why are random ships patrolling the galaxy carrying blueprints?  To me, blueprints should only come as quest rewards OR through some form of seriously high-end raid.  That way, blueprints are relatively hard to come by, but also highly desirable to have.

This won't diminish my desires to play the game, but just a tiny bit of a bummer.

 

Completely agree. 

TL2, cool! Really liked TL.

"Heart-stopping graphics.."

Check out the combat screen. Heart-stopping meow!

I don't want to spend all night phrasing this question and the multitudes of variants, so I'll simply ask it this way.

Does this game not concern itself with duplicate characters? In other words, if you wanted to, could everyone in your group be playing as Iron Man if desired?

Is this really like choosing a class in another MMO, without the character customization?

I like the idea behind the story.

If it's a kids game, there should be no free chat. Chat should be selected through menus so you can only say pre-defined things. This stops my kids from reading stuff I don't want them reading yet.
