Guild Wars 2

someone told me that there’s gonna be new gameplay type with the HOT update? to be more precise… TERA like game play. is this true or the guy was totally BSing me? please source!

Like Tera, GW2 features action combat. GW2 however is an action hybrid, which allows for traditional targeting. With HoT they’re adding several new features to support an action camera, which is the same style of camera that Tera uses.

You can see the demonstration after roughly 40 minutes:

It’s gonna be like a new game

Not gonna happen the AI in Tera is just sooo much far ahead of this game true story.
Yea there is a tank that does most of the work but don’t underestimate how much you actually have to cooperate and react to attacks to win regardless.
In Tera you don’t have a melee boss which use 3 seconds windup to land an attack
There you really gotta be on you’re toes or its game over.

Power creep Mobs =/= Better AI.

Yes, they’re adding a new action combat which you’ve seen in TERA.

The only difference is that Gw2 won’t be riddled with desync…

The targeting system had always been in GW2 from the start. It’s invisible, but it’s there. If you move your camera and put the center of your camera on an NPC, you will see that NPC will be highlighted. I think they were planning to have GW2 released on consoles, but scrapped that idea, and this targeting system may be a remnant from previous designs.

I watched that guys presentation on the camera changes and… I still have NO idea what he was trying to say. He was so kitten choppy and all over the place. I respect his programming skills immensely, but he can’t present at all.

Does someone have cliffnotes on what he was trying to say? Its like an Englishman trying to listen to a speech in German, and played backwards.

NM, got it.
