They want to make WvW feel like being inside a RTS game.

This is probably something we should have mentioned.

So far it looks like there are no new races- just the new heavy armor class.

Guild halls..

guild halls confirmed

GUILDHALLS confirmed!

BOOM! Guild halls!!!

Some of the Audience look bored to tears. I think they want to see some video and screenshots of everything that’s been announced.

Getting a new reace was doubtful from the begining as it seemed really hard to squeeze a new race with what is currently happening.

Mastery - Gliding, Lore, new combat

Legendary - New ones and pre-cursor scavenger hunt

Profession Specialization - “almost a secondary profession if you will” – Colin,
Ranger example: Druid specialization, have access to staff weapon, new skills, new profession mechanics;
Necromancer example: ability to use greatsword.
Between now and expansion more details will be released

Reverant - New heavy armour profession, (Rytlock is the first Revenant), able to use the powers of the mist / channel legends of the past

WvW - new Borderland map, keeps have themes, keeps provide abilities to a world,
earth keep raises parts of the ground for defense,
fire keep magma pools for quicker map travel
Holding objectives more important

Competitive PvP - new game mode Stronghold.
Stronghold – spend supply to hire troops and fight with the troops to invade enemy stronghold (sounds like LoL / DotA).
PvP Guild-teams and guild-teams leaderboards

Guild Halls – Provide for home based to build and grow guild and core hub for socialization

Those are the final major features announced.

He sounds really excited about customization options for building guild halls.

Oh I’m not complaining, just wanted to make sure it was clear.

The Revival of GW1 Fort Aspenwood, Guild Halls, WvW Defending, Dervist+Ritualist, more weapon access, so much awesome!

My hype level is off the chart!!

No info on price or release date. The trailer is really impressive.

Trailer already on youtube

Well seems like no new weapons so Revenant will use existing ones let’s hope the every 2 months balance is still on their mind.

It looks like Rythlock used something like polearm in the trailer

edit: nah it looks like it was just weird hammer. I was too hasty with this post

I feel sorry for all WvW players who had any hope. No deathmatch GvG, no deathmatch for sPvP.

well.. nothing more to say then hype train runs at all engines…. lightspeed ahead. Take my kittening money, heck take my clothes and my family too!

What I saw again on the trailer was what looked like an Engineer with flying turrets and a two handed mace I’m hoping that this will be true in the final product! Mobile turrets have been needed for a long long time now!
