Guild Wars 2

Id love to go…but i have no money for a ticket T.T Oh well, cant wait to see videos of gameplay from Pax East~

As for my guild, Formerly Krak House, Now Pack House. been together for 3 years now(formed during pre release), and at current count 494 members!

I never knew any of this was going on in London. Tickets are really cheap as well, I might see if I can grab a few people and run down for that Heart of Thorns demo.

Currently guildless, because every time I join a guild, they break up soon after, so I stopped seeing the point in joining guilds after about 2 years of this consistently happening.

ill be going to pax east like i do every year. looking forward to the demo and with talking to the devs

currently im in the guild fire and ice, i joined about a year and a half ago and i think the guild has been around for about 2 years.

Dante, I sure understand that going to one of these shows is a stretch for most people. I’m thinking that mostly those attending will be pretty local (and sure, tickets can impact the ol’ budget, too). We’ll look forward to meeting you another time.

In the meantime, I love knowing about your guild — that’s just awesome to have been with us so long and have such an active membership. Give them all a “hi” from the team, will you?

Awww its not that! i live on the west coast! And i forgot about Pax on this side! Who knows, maybe next time!

And of course! will do!

Oddly enough I’ll be in Boston during Pax East and then be in London….(well flying into and staying just north of) during EGX. Unfortunately I won’t be able to make either, but what a big coincidence. Wait…“There are no big or little coincidences, just coincidences!”

sadly, between being in the wrong country (Canada), broke and lacking transportation, I doubt I’ll ever make it to a con. I’ll try to be there in spirit, but my astral projections give me major migraines.

As far as guilds go, I’m a ronin. It’s not easy for me to find a guild I like, and I don’t know many people who play IRL. Eh, c’est la vie.

I don’t know. Gibbs’ Rules state there is no such thing as a coincidence.

Didn’t know what Gibbs rule was, so I followed your link and found out. I was going off Rava No degrees of coincidence

I live in the UK but sadly I cannot make it to London. If there was ever a Guild Wars 2 showcase in Manchester, however, I would be there like a rocket!

I’ll be attending the Rezzed event. Don’t have a guild but I’ll be coming with the hopes of taking tons of qwazy pictwurs!

Me and about twelve others of my online friends will be meeting up in person for the first time ever at EGX. We’ll be there most-likely on the Friday, ready and itching to get a go on the demo stations.

We’re all Admins, Officers, Teamspeak Guardians, and Event Coordinators from gw2community.com; a multi-guild community that hosts open-to-everyone runs three times a day to kill Tequatl and the Evolved Jungle Wurm. My guild is Draco Venantium [DV], one of the core guilds of the community, and we all can’t wait to see what Big Bad Bosses HoT gives us to go after next

In the meantime, we’ll keep cranking our way towards our 600th Tri-Wurm kill since we started making a record of them. We’re at 572 at the mo

Keep an eye out for us at EGX!

Sounds like fun, Argon. Hope to see you there.

Me and 2 others have got tickets to go to Rezzed.

Just out of curiosity, will there be a bit where we can ask questions to the devs? if so, are we allowed to know which devs will be present? I would quite like to prepare a list of questions to grill them with.

I and a few guildies from [Eden] have got ourselves tickets to Rezzed, along with a couple of other friends! We’ll be there on the Saturday probably hanging around anything related to GW2 way too much!

This will be my first convention, as it will for most of us. We’ve been playing EU since the early days of GW1 (~100 members right now) and are pumped!

We’re also going to be queueing up for the Saturday panel! I also have so, SO many questions that I hope I can grill someone with at the booth if I get the chance. I feel that my excitement might cause me to stammer them out though

I wish, I was a little late to get my wife and I tickets.. Maybe next time..

My whole family is heading to EGX Rezzed on the Friday. Three of us are active gamers and all members of the same guild, Midnight Mayhem. The guild’s 3rd birthday is tomorrow. We have around 370 members currently. We are really looking forward to the event.

I’d like to, but it is in London and I despise London with every fibre of my being.

But I’ll think about it.

Hi Gaile, did you get chance to ask if the specializations will be available in the demo at Rezzed? No worries if not, just curious.

There is a group of 4 of us going up on the Saturday, one of which doesn’t play GW2. We are hoping to convert him

Atm we’ve got 7-8 members of The Wandering Heroes[Rock] going to the Saturday event

I will be there Gail and look forward to meeting you and the rest of the ANet PAX attendees

I’ll be at EGX, I guess representing the remaining and returning players of Pain Train Choo [Choo].

I hope the weather in Boston doesn’t get in the way of getting to all the PAX fun. Stay warm and safe, y’all, especially those who are traveling there tonight before the storm moves on out.

I’ll be at Rezzed on the 14th of March representing the FA guild The Legacy – I’m one of its founding members and have been in the guild since GW1. We have 450+ members at the moment.

Look forward to meeting you ANet devs there!

Hi Gaile, sorry we missed you yesterday at Rezzed. We were in the queue and then just as you started the trivia we started playing the demo (the three of us were right behind you). When our demo finished I looked for you, but you weren’t around. I stopped by the booth 4 or 5 more times before we left but never saw you again. I hope that yesterday’s networking problems didn’t eat up too much of your time. The demo was great!

Just got home from Rezzed (eating some beans on toast!).

Thanks for today, ArenaNet! I had a great time.

Special thanks to you, Gaile, for selecting me as one of the six to win a Charr plush. I’m glad I won it! Shame I wasn’t quick enough to get the toaster to win some dragon toast!

I didn’t get a chance to win a sparkly HoT t-shirt as the stronghold queue was too long (I was the guy who was 1 away from being able to play it!) but pass on the message to your brand manager that I’d be willing to pay for them if they happened to be available in the store hint.

All you guys at ArenaNet were welcoming and happy to answer questions/chat with us in the queue as we were waiting our turn. Really happy to have met you all at Rezzed, and I hope to see you guys in the future at some point.

Thanks for the awesome time at Rezzed, Gaile! All of us from gw2community.com had a great time, and being invited to the afterparty to talk to you and the other Devs totally made the trip for us!

Hopefully we’ll have a picture gallery up soon that we can send you a link for

Thanks again!

Just got back from Rezzed today – what a weekend that was!

I can’t thank you enough for inviting [Eden] to the afterparty. It couldn’t have been a better place for us not only to meet the team, but each other as well! I must have spent at least 3 hours chatting to John Corpening about Stronghold and PvP, and I do not at all regret pouncing for the Charrlie that got thrown in to the crowd. We missed the trivia at the booth but I think we made up for it by winning our shiny t-shirts in the last PvP match of the day! We were super impressed with the WvW show as well and can’t wait to try it out for ourselves

Thank you again on behalf of all of us at the guild – it was a fantastic experience and we hope to see you guys again some time!

I was in EGX Rezzed and had the chance to play the demo and test the Revenant, but I could not record myself since I was alone. But I found a friend there who uploaded this footage of the default traits and skills for the Revenant: it is low quality (smartphone) but lets us have a flavour of what it does.

If you want me to tell you something in particular about the revenant or the new WvW map, as I saw it and heard it in Rezzed, please post here and I will answer as best as I can.

I found a very nice footage (better video quality and actual animations) on the Revenant skills: legends, hammer, mace and axe:

mace + axe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UrRviMwIBg
hammer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqG_v7QlTWk

I was there, sadly I didn’t get any hugs because I was a little sick and didn’t want to get anyone else sick lol.
Also didn’t get a foil shirt either.

^You flew over to Rezzed? Wow! That’s some dedication!

Or you just happened to be there on business/family matters/vacation?

Sounds like fun, either way. =)

I meant Riku..lol. I know you, Gaile, went there on official business. =)

Hi Gaile,

I really enjoyed Rezzed and it was great to try the demo (I had a go on the livestream PC ). I also tried my hand in the trivia quiz, and while I did not win I was happy to see one of my guild mates get the plushy .

It was a great day all round and it was really cool to see you and the other devs there.

A big thanks to everyone at ArenaNet for making my visit to Rezzed a day to remember. I turned up to play the demo, and ended up interviewing some of the people at ArenaNet!!

First here are my thoughts regarding the demo:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjIqggyB-I0&list=UU-7nZVV0tgqUbWhN0YLtNaA

Then i got the chance to talk to Isaiah Cartright and John Corpening who were really knowledgeable and was great to speak to them on a 1 to 1 basis. No doubt over the 3 days they will have said the things over and over again!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGG-69jSqUM&list=UU-7nZVV0tgqUbWhN0YLtNaA&index=4

Afterwards, i managed to grab a chat with Mr Ready Up himself Joshua Davis where we discussed Stronghold and some of the features of the map, how its going to affect PvP and the opportunities it’ll bring for players, new and experienced.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxIVZ3-kg_E&index=3&list=UU-7nZVV0tgqUbWhN0YLtNaA

Also at the event doing some online streaming was Jebro. Really appreciated the fact that he took the time to chat to me for such a while even when i had issues recorded our conversation!! If your interested on finding out how Jebro thinks the HoT expansion and new PvP game type will affect shoutcasting and PvP in general along with the introduction of the Revenant and Specializations, this is the video for you!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1Ynw3FI61g&index=2&list=UU-7nZVV0tgqUbWhN0YLtNaA

And finally, i got a terrific opportunity to talk to the wonderful Gaile Gray. Was able to hear her thoughts on dealing with the GW2 community, her different roles throughout Guild Wars, and just a general chat. She was active throughout the day i was there, being the person responsible for the GW Trivia contests (those Charr Plushies are awesome… not as impressive as the HoT Toaster though!). Please have a listen as it was a great chance to meet someone who is extremely active on the forums and enjoys dealing with the player/fan base.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddqm1tjgEQE&list=UU-7nZVV0tgqUbWhN0YLtNaA&index=1

Considering i turned up on the day and had no plans to speak to anyone, i was thrilled to get the chance! If you can ever get to one of these events, i’d highly recommend it (just for the chance at a Charr Plushie!)

Hi,

I just wanted to post my thanks to the guys at ArenaNet for putting on a great show last last Saturday at Rezzed. It was amazing to see so much attention and audience from GW2 player base, which made me proud to be there.

My special thanks goes to Josh ‘Grouch’ Davis for having a chat with me with regards to the PvE demo, Isaiah Cartwright for talking more in-depth with me about WvW Desert Borderlands and especially Gaile Gray for being so thoughtful and compassionate.

I felt very privileged, yet guilty to play the last stronghold match last weekend when you guys were being chased by security to kick us all out, yet Gaile casted rampage as one and declared not until we all received our t-shirts (woohoo!)

Thank you for the goodies, hope you all had a safe flight back. May our paths meet again one day!

I haven’t really posted on the forums before (as in, at all!) but I wanted to drop by and say a huge thank you to the entire ArenaNet team for making Rezzed an incredible weekend.

I loved playing the HoT demo, and still can’t believe that me and my husband now have the matching foil HoT shirts for winning a Stronghold match! We wore them with pride on Saturday, alongside another guildie who was playing host to us for the weekend

It was an absolute pleasure chatting with Tyler, Tirzah and of course Gaile. Your passion for GW2 shines through, and you really made my weekend! Thank you so much! <3

Erm no. :P
I went to Pax East, being close to boston and all. If I had the money I would have gone to Rezzed too!

Aww Riku! I’m sorry you were not feeling well, but SO happy that you turned out for the event!

Yeah, I was nervous doing the Trivia, that either I wouldn’t know the question or my voice would crack, I had a nasty nasty cold, was losing my voice and coughing really bad. Granted I got to talk to Roy and Leah, she is such a sweetheart!
It figures the Trivia was of the only thing I don’t do in guild wars, playing Asuras haha.

Just wanted to add my thanks to the pile of thanks

Gaile it was great meeting you for the first time and of course meeting everyone again it’s always great to get a chance to get some time to see everyone in the community and team that makes it to these events

Looking forward too seeing some more of them tomorrow when we run Foostival
