Guild Wars 2

Hey,
I wanted to ask, if there are any future plans of introducing more Machinima-firendly options into the game?

Little video about what I mean:

What I’d be very glad to see is some editor. If you’re familiar with WoW, you might know a thing called WMT – Warcraft Movie Tool.

It’s a programme (now it has a updated version called Far Sight) which allows you to:
-Change environment (not based on online data, only personal view from PC files) – weather, shades, increase depth/gamma of particular effects, colors. It really helps with Machinima since you can set up your scenery without waiting for game to generate your conditions, you can also make particular locations darker etc. It’s very easily shiftable.
-Free Camera – of course, this thing should be a little restricted in WvWvW, PvP to prevent abusing it, but it’s needed as hell. ArenaNet Art Team made some beautiful sceneries, they should be seen!
Giving an option to free up camera from your character (with enabled collision), giving it ability to focus on target, follow it, make camera checkpoints, zoom in and out, slow down and speed up.. Amazing, needed tools.

As explained in the video, there’s already some kind of software ANet is using which is very similar to what I request.

Giving this tool to more creative players, interested in making Machinima from the game on very professional level, testing it out in their videos..
That would give a typhoon kick to whole fan community, promote tge game A LOT more and result in whole next level of marketing (free!), new players…

To prevent abusing game files or free camera, ANet should develop such tool by themselves.

It’s such huge opportunity for explosion of Fan-Art, more views on YouTube. Anet made so beautiful graphics… That would be a gift for Art and Graphic teams..

Sure, more environmental interactions like:
-Usable seats
-More emotes
Would also help a lot.

I strongly believe that it’d make such good impact on everything. ArenaNet, here’s your opportunity – Creative Players!

Wrong forum, try tech support.

How does that qualify to Tech Support? Feature described is not even in-game, it’s a question about a part of the game and a suggestion. Since there’s no “Video” subforum, it belongs in here

You are right, should not be tech support but Community corner. Check the description:
Fan-generated Content: Post your artwork, fan-fiction, machinima and other content here.

So the fan generated content forum deals with machinima.

D’oh.

It’s a suggestion and question NOT content.
The video included serves the purpose or basic explaining what “machinima” is, is not mine either.
I haven’t created anything. Now please stop trolling, read thread and come back with accurate feedback.
I’ll repeat one more time : It’s not Machinima, it’s a question and suggestion about plans for Machinima in this game. Hope I made it clear

And where would the Devs that could answer your question or have impact on your suggestion be reading? In the appropriate sub-forum.

This.

I’d love to see a machinima tool. I’m not a creator of such things, but I am a big fan. it helps bring the game world to life. At the same time it offers free word of mouth promotion for the game. All for a minimal cost of resources to ArenaNet.
