Guild Wars 2

I watched, and while I was in awe of al, the epicness, I had some trouble decyphering the point of the trailer. It was very hectic, jumping from view to view.. I honestly cant tell what the story’s going to be about.

But it does seem to confirm that if we dont knock out Braham and cut his bow in half the world might verybwell end

Pardon the caps in advance.

HOLY BAJEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

I’M AT WORK AND CAN’T CONTAIN THE EXCITEMENT!!!!

THANKS ANET!!! NOW I CAN’T GET ANYTHING DONE >_>

cough ahem… thank you for the trailer

From what I can gather, it looks like we’re searching for allies among the Elder Dragon minions (specifically Risen) as a way to fight Balthazar.

Some friends become enemies, some enemies become friends.

About a third of the way through I had to do
a double take as I thought I saw Mr. Crow
from Unreal Tournament…

Really excited to go back to Orr.

If another dragon dies we all die…..hmm

From what I can see, the undead…the ones left behind by Zhaithan, have found a new master. Now, who do we know from history that controls the undead and is not that far away from Orr? Joko.

Admit, excited. Also hoping that at the end we get work on the next XPac. Is it Tuesday yet?

It’s that voice at the end, really who it sounds like?!

squeals

I’m sad I’ll be out of town when the patch drops (and will have to avoid spoilers until I’m back home). Good trailer.

I think that’s Jennifer Hale (aka, Commander Shepard).

lol at the end:
“go ahead, save the world. save tyria.”
I was thinking, again? kinda like how in that series taken with liam neeson it just keeps on happening again and again lol. welp, time to dust off me ol sword peoplesaver.

@Gaile Gray Any available article that has more info on the release as well as picture of the maps and the legendary maybe?

The woman at the very end sounded like Mari Weiss (if you know who she voiced/voices).

moonstarmac.4603:

Livia?

When i saw the lich looking undead I thought it was a possible return of Khilbron. Perhaps brought back by Zhaitan and has been in hiding, but I’m sure thats wishful thinking on my part.

Khilbron is in the Realm of Torment. Highly doubt that’s him. Seems like a risen wraith/priest but of high rank and importance.

Is it possible that the lava monsters are reimagined titans? If Livia is involved, the Scepter of Orr is involved, and while it can allegedly control the undead, it is best known for controlling the titans. They could possibly compete with B for fire energies?

A dead bad guy, who is “alive” that is now an ally? Freezer, is that you?

I really, really hope this means we will be able to play as Risen in the xpac, Ive been wanting this for years now, it’s exciting to think it could be a possibility.

I wouldn’t suggest getting to excited about that. My own opinion is that it is highly unlikely. I think they are teasing playing alongside NPC risen allies, not a PC. Woodenpotatoes has laid out some really good speculative arguments why a new playable race is probably NOT in the works, many of which would still apply to Risen/Undead/Mordrem.

seriously yet again DISAPPOINTED !! only one reason to even do this is so it does not cost 200 gems from the story and hope maybe you might get a mastery point out of it . otherwise 2 seconds of non playable stuff yet again from anet and ncsoft . as well as another reason to not even buy the so called new pack if it even comes out at all . as i am sure yet again anet will not be doing any game upgrades at all with the new pack . things like SLI support or crossfire with dx11 and 12 . unlike the new games that are coming out . heck this game probably will not even be able to use the new Ryzen Ripper on it at all even will be honestly shocked if it did .

Well considering the people screamed we want content not features when hot released. I dubt anet would keep focusing on sli support or crossfire or even dx11 or 12 you know features the thing we yelled at them the last time for implementing, since thats not content the people want to play.

Edit
We get it you want the game upgraded, you stated so countless times before.
Why you would even think a living story episode would deliver that is kinda hard to understand to be honest.

This is nice and all but can we get trailer for the next specializations soon?

I’m guessing that won’t be in the summer. Almost guaranteed actually. More likely towards the end of the year or early next year.

Keadron.9570:

There were ’’trailers’’ of the elite specs before they were released one-by-one . It was official released btw.

https://youtu.be/hFRDATOe6lE heres one of them.

He’s talking about new specializations that will be available with the new expansion. Not the existing ones.

If we are Lucky Anet will do the same for the new ones.

To late I am excited :P I actually think they really need to give us a new playable race for this 2nd xpac, people were disappointed that we didn’t get one with the first xpac, so I’m hoping they are going to address that this time.

Also a new race would mean they sell a lot of character slots, plus the fact we are 5 years deep into this game, there are plenty of good reasons why we should have a new race imo.

Hopefully soon though to be honest ele determines whether I buy it or not

Engi, Rev and Mesmer are making me curious and Ele really need a real Melee weapon, not like that dagger posing as a melee with its 600 range.

With all the jump cuts I was thinking you got Zach Snyder to edit it.

Yes it tells us NOTHING other than it looks like we’re some place new in Orr. Are those NPCs or player stand ins? Where is anyone else from Dragon’s Watch? Not even an image of Balthazar. Don’t know. That would be telling.

As long as it’s a full damage spec for ele (rip healbot) I’m game. Though they will have to look at some of the balance changes they’ve done to core ele, rather than reigning tempest in, to make a melee weapon work for ele

The jumpy editing and corny opening exposition make it seem like a high-school creative arts project.

Yeah new race won’t happen. However in recent LS our characters were turned into mursaats, jormag minion and white mantle. So we could transform into an undead in order to form an alliance with them. We also might be able to purchase a tonic with karma.

I’m guessing the unlikely allies will be some gods, and a dragon. We’ll probably make deals with both or one in order to imprison the dragon we cannot control. We’re going to need the help of gods and dragons in order to handle the power of both, without killing another dragon. I’m just guessing here.

My guess after today’s preview: Path of Fire

This trailer was great their was excitement and confusion at the same time. The only parts I sort of understood were the parts where it showed things that look like they may have come from the other continents(like the one guy looks kind of like an elonial noble). Swordmaster Faren will save us though.

Where is trailer ? I see only old recap…

Actually, he was in said trailer. But everything else you said is accurate. I, too, wonder about our merry band of companions. Interesting, though, to see a wraith and a ghost in the trailer. Also, Anise will be back.

You didn´t even mention UI in the first place.

The ghostly wraith looked like grenth ?

let’s talk truth poorly made trailer.
The only thing, that made it a bit enjoyable is:

The Epic theme that Maclaine Diemer made.

this is all, beside that goose bumps impressive music that he did, this trailer is nothing but garbage
