Guild Wars 2

Hey, a fan of GW2. Started 1 month after the Beta Weekend thingies but I’d been keeping an eye on the game for a while.

I’m a migrant from City of Heroes (before those kittens at NCSoft shut it down) and thought CoX did alot of things wrong, it also did alot of things right. One thing CoX had was a kinda video recording option in the /demorecord command and this is all built into the game. And if you had knowledge of the demorecord code, you could make movies and junk, script NPC animations and the like. It was real neat what some people could do with it.

What I’d like to know is, does GW2 have some sort of game session recording feature built into it? If they do, links to how it works would be wonderful. If not, then why not? I figure the companies who put out FRAPS and like software make a killing off of games like this since so many people now-a-days record their sessions for various purposes.

No there isn’t an option and personally I’m glad

To have such a build in function you need to build the software yourself (wich is a specialised discipline) or you need to by a ready made plug-in from e.g. fraps. Both would cost money. Anet has devoted their budget in what they are excellent in. Building a kitten good game. You areright a lot of people record the game. But it would be an optimistic guess it is still only 5% of the players. So you are asking 95% of the community to pay for something they are not going to use.

No offense though. I love the great vids people are making.

Well not everyone PvPs, doesn’t mean the devs shouldn’t support it. So your point doesn’t really resonate with me.
