Guild Wars 2

I was looking at the trailer for gw2 launched in China and ours wasn’t that awesome. This is the trailer launched in China: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=n4tGMcKoh_8#at=20

This one is the cinematic english trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvByd0FIz8c

Apparently ANET wanted to punish us because we make so many threads on the forums about things that are little more than pointless attempts at stirring up kittens.

Well well well (too much necro :P ), if I wasn’t playing this game for almost 1k hours I’d be searching for my jaw in the next town.
Even so I’ve watched it with delight.

They had no time obviously. They pretty much rushed a lot of things and tbh the trailer wasn’t even important for me. We had all those nice little trailers for each profession, we had this really cool release announcment trailer and we had those 2-3(?) trailers we got before conventions.

They are great at PR….shame they can’t back it up in game..

Man, when I’m looking at these profession trailers they seem like from a different game.
Battle is crystal clear there thanks to cinematic camera, every attack seems like is incredible powerful or have it’s very important use that determines if you will survive the battle.
Of course here mobs are portraited as they possess some nice AI (or rather intelligence that matches the monster – they even talk with each other!) and so battle is a lot more tactical.
We never have similar situations – monsters circling us, warrior defending with his shield from drake fire breath – why would he when he can walk behind him and hack hack hack all he wants.

What we have in game: monster is coming at us in straight line, uses skill, continues advancing in straight line, oh he’s damaged, he retreats in straight line for a while and then again he’s charging… yeah, in straight line.
Teach monsters to use their skills (and give them more!) depending on situations. We run, they cripple, we attack hard, they block, we attack from distance, they avoid it, we charge, they cc. It seems like every fight is the same, mobs have the same amount of life (see wolf fighting with a deer or moa, they just bite each other and victor will be who’s one special skill they possess is more meaningful).

Give me the game showed on these trailers and I’ll pay you monthly even when this game still will be f2p.

This trailer would have fit GW2 more appropriately than the one they used….

I’m very tempted to edit that english trailer for laughs. Make it so when they walk out of the water to face Zhaitan, instead it is a full scale Mardi Gras celebration they are looking at.

First off, it’s obvious that the Chinese trailer would be better than the one for the initial launch because it’s not crunch time and the devs would have to get better using their tools otherwise the game is doomed anyway.

As for why the english language trailer from launch was so terrible… who knows? It should have been set purely in Tyria. I refuse to show it to anyone who doesn’t already play the game as it gives a terrible impression.

You call this epic? Go watch what Rockstar released about GTA5 Online…

this looks above decent and music helped. Their China gw2 trailer was crap with poor music.

by rewatching this trailer one thing i noticed is that night actually looked like night and not darkish day.

Actually there were a fair few good trailers for us, maybe you didn’t find them? Remember a lot of them were shown months, even years BEFORE game release. Perhaps you weren’t paying attention to the game then so you might have missed them?

Because the game is a lot more polished now?

Well the Chinese trailer gives a complete wrong image of the game so I’m actually glad we didn’t have one like that. They basically only show the cool world boss appearance animations, but not the boring 10-minute autoattack fest that starts 5 seconds later.

That’s for their expansion Chinese trailer.

To be honest I enjoyed the english one…. after 1m 30secs, that is… I always said that the rest of it before that would have worked better as a trailer for The Secret World.

Personally as far as I’m concerned this is the real GW2 english trailer..
