Game: Guild Wars 2
@medmarijuana That really depends..... if that girl was gwen from gw1 and monsters she was shooting were the charr then sure she would say that. She was really craaaazy.
This looks great but its an exhibition video. It looks too polished (and staged) to be actual gameplay. It looks like prerendered stuff. I want to see gameplay.
you can make bottlenecks with this skill causing people to stay out of the fire. I can see this being an incredible useful tool in PvP. Make it so the other team must cut through a tiny crack or els face the consequences of being ignited. I love GW + strategy.
It wasn't pointless at all but I'm sure you'd think that. Afterall that spell (or tourch) was doing something pretty different than most MMOs.. lighting the arrows on fire.
lol, I didnt notice how the "die die die" was over the top untill everyone posted about it ahh hah...My initital thought with her wirling her sword around was the deveolpers are hard at work.
Setting up the fires probably works for and against you. The bad guys' arrows probably light up nicely too when he shoots through at you and your friends hiding behind.
@bisurge It makes a ton of sense actually considering gw1 didn't have a z axis hence why the arrows barrage were so low and had animation and also why in gw2 the skill can be remade into something it was supposed to look like. Whereas spread shot can look like well a spread shot/
@kingtofu Lol yeah because Diablo II did invent shooting multiple arrows at once......Come on you can't say that something copied from someone else if they also ripped from some else.
Especially when there's a good chance that they weren't even copying them specifically.
Actually the graphics for this game are quality but the voice-overs are so bad they're good territory. "Die, die, die" voiceover is imo one of the better VO's actually, it's aggressive and has some intonation. "This will be fun", is by contrast tone-dead and limp.
She shot FOUR AoE arrow bursts in a row pretty quickly without blinking in about 6 or 7 seconds.
I'm hoping that just to show us in a quick demo how the skill works, and not how it's actually going to be available.
Aside from all that, the graphics and work look incredible here. I love that it's not too "shiny" of a game and has a gritty feel to it. I hope they don't wash all that out when it hits alpha.
Well that big spell at the beginning was pointless.
Wed Jul 14 2010 1:52PM ReportActually it wasn't that spell ignites the arrows that are shot over it. If you watch again you can see.
Wed Jul 14 2010 1:55PM ReportYes to this game.
Wed Jul 14 2010 2:08PM ReportSweet stuff. Can't wait!
Wed Jul 14 2010 2:20PM ReportThey finally show the thing about arrows getting on fire when the croos through fire.
Wed Jul 14 2010 2:36PM Reportnice but i didn't like the voice "die die die" yea, sounds like something she would say? not really.

Thu Jul 15 2010 2:31AM ReportSo...
Spread Shot in GW2 is the Barrage in GW1, and Barrage in GW2 is the Volley from World of Warcraft? Makes a TON of sense. >_>
Thu Jul 15 2010 2:24PM ReportDid they forget to mention this was a level 20 against lvl 2 mobs?
