Guild Wars 2

Whenever I see a GW2 commercial on twitch or something, such as after the ESL streams, there are some… inaccuracies?

“Massive WvW battles” are advertised alongside a video of 6 players fighting in WvW… Who made that decision.

I laughed every time I saw the guardian blocking with Shield of Absorption.

Right? I get that they want to show off some cool looking skills, but make the scenario match the description.

It’s advertising – it’s not meant to be realistic.
That face cream will not make you look younger, that car will not make you cool and you will not win the lottery. Soz.

I remember the Eye of the North box art.
It had Ogden with a axe and shield and Pyre with a scepter I believe

I have a good idea for an advert:

These two guys in their late teens, one black one white, dressed in skater gear are playing a game on the couch (holding X-Box controllers) express dissatisfaction with their game. Another scene has a 13 year old boy dressed like a cool kid playing a game on a headset and says, “Why do I even bother with this game?” And afterwards Rytlock busts down their walls Kool-Aid man style holding a box saying, “I got what you need! right here!” then clips of ESL footage (not…from this season of course) demonstrating the game while Rytlock goes over what to expect. Logan is wearing a hat backwards standing near a brick wall shaking a can of spray paint saying, “You gotta change with the times man!”

PvP narrator: “Go to Guild Wars 2 to buy the game right now!” Because I think he has a really cool voice “You’ve seized the henge!”

They’ll never top the Rytlock SAB commercial.

Advertising is meant to make us excited about the product. The face cream makes us excited about looking younger. The car makes us excited about looking cool. The lottery makes us excited about the possibility of winning. It’s not meant to look realistic, sure, but it’s definitely meant to look more interesting than what I’m seeing in the Anet adverts. 3 guys standing on a bridge casting fireballs at each other? No thanks. Looks like a crap game.
