Hopefully we get to see much more content and maybe a few new reveals. Would be awesome.

Beta weekends are great, but we’re now…. 8 weeks (?) since our last spec reveal.

How are you going to do that? You know, irl we don’t have a name-tag above our head.

Also plans for selling any goodies.. you know.. like a Ultra Super Special Edition of HoT? Only sold at these meetings.

Anyway, I see you there.. as you likely do have a name-tag.

I’m not an anet employee but they threw out t-shirts in 2010/2011 i believe, and in 2012 they gave out item cards for a in-game T-shirt before their lounge/bar got swamped.

So i’d say expect T-shirts in some way shape or form!

I’m not into hype train anymore. Anet’s probably going to show one more region of verdant brink, probably a few square meters (instanced) and everything we already know about.

We are not the target probably. They want to bring more NEW players, gamescom is not for us

I’m so going to be there! Got the tickets in April, hoping Anet would be out this year too.

GW1-er here from the start, got to know my husband through the game! Recently we moved to Cologne and been there last year, was a total blast for me. This year we are bringing our 4yo daughter too for a spin (she loves when mummy plays hide and seek with a mesmer/thief:)

It would be indeed wonderful to have some kind of known schedule, as we are coming with three kids (2 godchildren ftw!) on Friday and really need to plan around the children so I might get some try-out and chat time alone.

We aren’t going to give you guys any more real info before this show because we need it for hype. What you can expect before then is a lot more about stuff we have already revealed.

Please correct me if I’m off base here.

Ill be there and I hope you will be a bit better represented than last year.
There was nothing really GW2 there, just some people in the T-Shirts who could have been players or just fans. It was hard to tell if there was someone responsible there….

Ill be there on thursday and I am pretty excited allready to play a bit HoT.
Hope we also get some nice tidbits of information there.
Still hoping for a bit more “phyisical” information, if I may drop that hint.

As someone living in Cologne, I’ll be there naturally, this year I have ordered quickly enough my tickets. Last year I got surprised, how fast they got sold out all for the very first time. Was a real wtf moment for me, but poo happens..can’t have everything

I’ll be there on the 6th and 7th of August and to go there on Saturday/Sunday is always the WORST choice, unless you seriously like MASSES of people and much longer waiting times ..yahoo xD
With the tradefare being only 45 mins away from my home, I’m quickly there to enjoy those two days to the fullest ^^

I’ll surely try to get some talk with the Devs, hopefully getting some answers to questions I’d like to know
Can still remember myself on 2010/11 around at Gamescom having had a nice talk with Ree, where she signed my Guild Wars: Destiny’s Edge Novel Book, talking about Quaggans and if there will be somewhere later in the released game some lore bits to get to know, what the name of the deep sea dragon is, which is still unknownd until today sadly, despite just knowing, that it begins with S ^^

I have a feeling, Gamescom 2015 is the final time to get many yet unanswered questions finally answered

We will see … in less than a month ^^

About tickets: Saturn shops in Germany still selling some, especially in smaller places. Last year I managed to get some 2 weeks before the event. So if you got a German friend, might worth to ask, it was still fairly easy to get extra two 1 week ago.

On another note I second this!

How are you going to do that? You know, irl we don’t have a name-tag above our head.

Also plans for selling any goodies.. you know.. like a Ultra Super Special Edition of HoT? Only sold at these meetings.

Anyway, I see you there.. as you likely do have a name-tag.

Wha… you mean I can’t mouse over you IRL and see your name? Dang, all my good plans must be rethought! I hope to see you and somehow magically know, "Oh, that’s Devata from the forums!

You bring back such a wonderful memory, and probably one of the reasons I’m so fond of gamecom. Our first tournament was at gamescom in 2006. I will never forget how European Guild Wars players filled our space. And the space behind it. And the space behind the space behind our space. And how they cheered, and roared, and supported the tournament players. It was glorious!

Here’s to a repeat of that magical moment in 2015, in Cologne! <3

That’s a question that I cannot answer, I’m sorry to say. From what I recall, entry is determined by the folks at the door or the gates — not by the exhibitors. ArenaNet doesn’t have the means to invite people into the venue in advance of the posted hours, but you’re welcome to inquire of the gamescom organizers on what their requirements would be. If you don’t get in that day, stop on by when you get a chance!

Me and some guildmembers will be there. Expect a group of around 10 following mindless a commander tag (if it is done on time by our creative department) into a hall full of enemys (Are there more than three Servers in WvW now?!).

Not sure how many others of the german communitys will be there, but a few of the gw2ts project management and/or “round table” people might come. I hope Ramon Domke will be there too. He may have given an answer in the last rount table meetings, but i guess i missed it.

It was due to my sign that said “Insert T-shirts here” and the blue “Bukkit” attached to it (does anyone remember Martin’s bukkit? Because I have the official one^^)
