can't wait for this to come out.

Wow, pretty awesome graphics. Hope it can deliver on the gameplay too. *Cough, aion, cough, ncsoft*

the human city and clothes remeber a lot the Vagrant Story art, good memories =)

Felicia Day as a voice in MMORPG trailer, I can imagine she like it :D Hope she will be also in full game.

Also great trailer, only bad thing is that release is soooooo faaaaar away :(

That was cool.

Hopefully this game will be as good as the first. GW1 was near flawless.

oh i dont know...i love the GW franchise, always will, but if the game isn't out for a while, that means i can go off and explore All Points Bulletin, DCU Online (possibly free..! we'll see), Word of Darkness Online, The Secret World, with out feeling guilty....as much as i love sharpening my pixelated sword and buckling my pixelated swash, i've been looking for a non-fantasy game i can afford...i can see my getting GW2 at some point regardless, even if it isn't at launch...ive had nothing but good experiences with GW and its community so Viva La Tyria! Cheers all!

ArenaNet = Awesome!

No they are not.

Every character is now set to a certain lvl and get's every equipment pvp item etc. and skills avaible said in one of the Interviews.

"Logan Thackeray the human defender is voiced by Troy Baker (Fullmetal Alchemist, One Piece)." One Piece! Woot!

I watched the trailer and was surprised at how great the voice acting is. Looks great too! Can't wait to play it!

Its almost the same thing.
 

The Grove (the sylvari main city) is huge!
Divinity Reach is a vast improvement in architectural style, renaissance period like

and Felicia Day wooot!

Please be the saviour of fantasy MMOs for me!

gorgeous trailer, I have been out of Guildwars for 2 years now, but what I just saw pretty much guarantee Ill buy GW2.

 I am kind of losing my hype over this game. Heard about it from a few friends and played GW1 with them, but the two trailers that have been pretty dissapointing IMO. Just doesn't give me that spark. Probably different for many of you but thats just how i feel.

Yea... that's really just you. At least your not one of those people that everytime GW2 gets on the most anticipated list on the main page a bunch of people create alt accounts just to vote it down.  MMORPG.com really needs to fix the way hype is determined.

I love it, looks amazing! The graphics are stunning, the dynamics of the lighting is really good.  I would have liked to have seen some more of the day night cycle, but I hear we will be seeing that in 2010.  As for release time NCSoft earning reports ear mark that only Blade and Soul will be released in 2010, so this is looking like a 2011 release :( I have chosen Sylvari as my race, probably Warrior (which they have hinted will still be a class) or something similar.  I am very excited about this.  I think I may also have to build a Norn at some point.  I really like their culture.

Great trailer and demonstrates the uber storytelling we saw in GW1.

Yep, 2011 release sounds most likely at this point. :-( Which makes this trailer a big tease. Ah well. Will give some of us time to save up the money for a new computer...

Too bad 2011 is soooooooooooooo far away.  I want it now!

great trailer! that underwater shot was cool. exploring underwater is one of the big new features im really excited to see

Again a beatyfull trailer.

What the characters actual says and the style they do it in, is a little disapointing, especially for a fan like me that knows Guild Wars 1 well. Its like it needs some more polishing/tuning to get to me.

but with that said, it might do the job for people not knowing the game at all. But no matter how, the astonishgly beautyfull artwork will get to people no matter what!

I am looking so forward to this game

Still a little asian'e style wise, poses, animations I have seen a million times in the other countless asian MMO's but I played original GW for a few months years ago and saw some potential (honestly the inability to jump and swim killed it for me) so I'll check it out when released.

Still doesn't change the fact that he sees it as asian'e "style wise"

I guess I prefer this "asian'e" style than EQ2's western style =P

Awesome trailer =]

i bet ill get yelled at for this question.

Nope, it's going to be like a regular MMO now, open world with limited instancing. :)

The original Guild Wars were the only games to ever immerse me in their story.  If this one can do the same, plus bring many improvements to the game mechanics, I will be very very happy.

My ex boyfriend got me addicted to GW1... II'm SOOOO freaking excited for this. Guild Wars 1 is my favorite game (cuz I'm a nerd, duh). Except EOTN, which is kind of fail.

i love what im seeing so far abt GW2

Both trailers are ridiculous.  Generic high-fantasy drivel.  Looks like a total waste of some of the best concept artists in the industry.

If I remember correctly Arenanet is a subsidiary under their parent company NCsoft so yes it is somewhat a Korean company. If that bothers you then don't play it.

El yay!

Well I'm just hoping the actual gameplay will be good.

Out of curiosity what should they be doing? I personally like high fantasy (and other genres) but this is GW2. :)

MMkk... I respect your opinion... but really... just curious here... How is this a waste? It seems lots of people are excited about it.

 this game is going to be a lot of fun. I'm glad that Arenanet/NC Soft are taking their time with the development of this game.

in case people don't know Arenanet is not a Korean developer,is an American one.

their studio is located in upstate Washington.

some of you are complaining about the art style,and that's fine, to each his own.

but every artist is unique.they all have a certain style American or Korean,it doesn't matter.

 no is actually an open world setting.with some instances of course.

but a lot less than GW 1.

+1. But if you think Ncsoft has no word in the development of GW2 your dead wrong. The creators of Arenanet are now the CEO and President of NC West.

  no is actually an open world setting.with some instances of course.

 pretty sure they do I wasn't referring as to is running the show,more towards the art style of the game.

I think it has beautiful art design personally ,but not everyone is going to like it.

pretty sure Arenanet is going to deliver with this game.

I'm just disappointed because I see concept art visionaries like Daniel Dociu and M. C. Barret working on this game, as well as an obviously capable asset/production art team, yet their talents get lost in translation.  The resulting world and story is completely uninteresting.  Oh no!  Evil dragon!  You must save the world!  "Glory!" "Your legend will live forever!" "Tyria needs heroes!" "Time to fight!".  Its a regurgitation of every other fantasy game ever made.  You've got your elves (Sylvari), your Dwarves/Gnomes (Asura), your Orc/Tauren (Charr), and the humans have been divided into holy warrior paladin types (Humans), and Vikings (Norn).  Add in plenty of cheesy place names like Divinity's Reach and Black Citadel.  Aren't people tired of this crap?  I found myself rolling my eyes all the way through both trailers.

In short, I'm not curious about this world.  I don't feel compelled to explore or experience it.  Its just more of the same.  The gameplay might be outstanding but the world and lore is trite.

And whose decision was it to take the job?? Maybe "generic high-fantasy drivel" is what they prefer and what they're good at.

The work of those artists is not generic.  They are good at making unique, interesting imagery.  Thats why I said their talents are wasted on GW.

Well no one but you labeled it generic. High-fantasy is the theme of the game, they took the job cause they need the money or they want to be a part of the team, no one forced them but themselves. Their talents aren't wasted as many people are waiting for this game. What do you expect of GW concept art? zombies? you like zombies?

Hmmm you still don't seem to get what I am trying to say.  The GW concept art is better than the game.  That is what I am saying. 

When I look at the concept art I see glimpses of this interesting world I'd like to explore.

When I watch the trailer I see a rehash of standard fantasy story of good vs evil where "you, too, can save the world!" complete with all the expected archetypes.  boring.

Look awesome and if it tops GW1 it will do very well. better than all other MMO's out there imo. Good luck WoW i hope it kills ya.

Free to Play, best story and Aion Graphics what more can i want

Well 1 had great Game play awesome team play. GvG etc just most people spazzed out over the linear part of the game and elitist morons couldn't handle 20 levels only (not meant to be a grinder) game is more tactical Skills wise. If GW2 comes even close to all that but with a actual World (non linear Areas)  to please the WoW types this game will Rocket to the top.

have you even played the first GW. I mean I don't know about the rest of the players but i found the lore and world simply amazing the lore is generic in a  sence that there are swords and magic but the world of Guild wars is beyond that. GW may have been one of the few games who story ment something and made people want to play. Ask how many people play WoW for "the story" Guild wars has a rich lore, which is going to be expanded by a large margin. you are hero yeah sure thats how the first one was, and do you know why people are not tired of it, why so many people still play this game instead of paying 15 dollars a month to play some shitty no story "rehash fantasy" BECAUSE the players love the story,gameplay, lore, character , classes everything. GW is still one of the best games out there maybe not for community but for the simple fun (still) fairly strong graphics, and a story that rivals that of single player RPGs + with great PvP of all kinds.     

Now improve this game that i said above, with more races, better graphics, new story, and beyond massive PvP with World VS World. yeah you may see it as generic high fantasy, but i see it for my light in a world of bad poorly done online games by some developers who can't make up there mind.  If Guild Wars 2 fails (which i can tell you now It will not) I will for the rest of my life never touch an online game again

I guess you have never played Guild Wars before. If you have, I am kind of surprised by your comments.

At the moment ArenaNet are gradually dribbling information out about the game, and not all in one spot either. This trailer is just a small facet of the overall picture, somewhat explaining the races. I have a feeling once you get in game (when it is released) there will be a lot more than what they are showing now.
