I understand that you guys want to be different and present your game differently than other developers but I would love to see a regular video game trailer for this game displaying all the races and classes in some kind of fight like in most mmorpg trailers.
The thing is mmo’s cant really provide the immersion that you get in regular video games and it’s nice to have something to refer back to when you want to get excited about the game again and for me personally thats where trailers and concept art come in. You guys did an amazing job adding pictures to loading screens, it really does do wonders for the level of immersion when you can see how the world was imagined without limitations I just wish I could have a trailer to watch that would do the same. I would love to see some charr fighting ghosts in Ascalon or a Norn fighting a Kodan or something like that.
I don’t mean to be critical because I absolutely love the game and your dedication to your fan base but the “Our Time is Now” trailer would have honestly made me avoid picking up Guild Wars if I saw it before I bought the game.
There are some things that just work…and trailers where you get to see a fully realized world with fully realized characters fighting fully realized battles is one of them.
Please make a regular trailer whenever an expansion comes out
Agreed about the Our Time is Now trailer. It was just painful to watch how hard they were trying (and failing) to appeal to edgy, rebellious teens. It’s a fantasy mmo, kitten If I didn’t know, I would have thought it was an ad for The Secret World. At first I even thought it was an ad for Sketchers or whatnot.
I would prefer either something like the earlier animated trailers for GW2, or GW1 trailers. It makes more sense in the context of a video game, and they actually tell you things about the game… as opposed to “lol vandalism is kewl. BUY GAME”
@ donaga – that’s kind of irrelevant. When an expansion comes out (could be in a year, could be in ten, idek), a video game trailer about the video game is what OP is suggesting. Not making a trailer to advertize your upcoming game is foolish.
