Guild Wars 2

I don’t really know what to think. On one hand it’s pretty lame that Ranger doesn’t get its own POI specifically to itself like every other class, but on the other there’s really only two explanations for it being bundled at this convention: 1) it is meh and being swept together with hype stuff to lessen the blow or 2) it is very interesting/good so that it is a focal point of their presentation during the event.

thats my man! he describes the ranger forum in one sentence

Yep. Don’t even know why I browse this subforum still.

Druids getting revealed at twitchcon. The length of the reveal will not be any different if it were revealed on any other format. Enough with this neglected class behavior.

I am more worried about the fact that the druid will only be in one BWE. The chance for it to be broken for weeks is very high.

Looking at scrapper I can’t see how druid will impress me. Do your best Anet… -.-

i think they will reveal druid next week on twitch con as rubi said on livestream and i think they will reveal tengu as new race as extra surprise,,,,,, mark my word,,,,,

Not to be greedy, but I’m hoping the reason it’s being presented at twitch-con is because it will introduce a new fundamental change, for the whole game or even if only for the ranger. Otherwise I fear that they are showing it there because they didn’t have time to fit it in anywhere else so they’re tossing it on, or they’re being rushed and it might not be well balanced or designed.
Of course, we’ll have to wait next weekend to see. I still have high hopes for druid being something I’ll love.

Add in 30s worth of comments about Grouch’s Bearbow Bandit, his Bear, his Bear getting stronger, being able to use his machine gun with staff, asking if staff will be like a machine gun, and the presentation interrupted during the trait segment to do on-the-fly balancing.

They already did that, I’m sure they can come up with something even worse.

Wait, why would they NOT do a POI on Druid? I’m thinking they must not like making money because there is no way I am buying the expansion at this rate.

The reveal will be at TWITCHCON. Learn to kittening read before you show your ignorance.

I think you missed my point. Otherwise, how exactly do you equate a dedicated POI to a reveal at a convention? Do you really think they are going to spend an hour on the Druid?

They don’t need an hour to reveal Druid. The only reason those POI’s go for so long is because rubi can’t stop rambling about stupid stuff.

“ohhh look at that hammer” "Ohh look it’s shiny’’ “oh my, this [insert profession] is going to be my new main!”

POI’s would be much better if they were 15 min long and straight to the POInt.

From what I’ve watched, it seems like most of the devs have variants of stage fright. Rubi seems to be there to calm them down and keep the process flowing. If you want a 15 minute presentation, then read the skill facts on dulfy. Humanizing the developers also goes a long way in getting people to stop making posts like “karl should be fired.”

I’m sure it will be fine; however, I do believe this will be a make it or break for most people if they keep their rangers as their main or demote it to a secondary class for Revenant or another spec. (at least for a couple of months)

It’s a make or break whether many of us buy HoT at all. There is a 0% chance I do if druid isn’t any good. Or at least until they do one of those 75% off sales or whatever.

Let’s see:
I’ll guess 3 sec per trait (read the name + mouse over to allow people to screen shot), so (3*12) 36 seconds total
About 10 seconds per skill, (10*10) 1:40 minutes
An introduction explaining druids overall and jokes about the delay, I’ll guess about 1 minute.
So I’m guessing an presentation of 3:16 minutes and with some delays maybe 4 minutes.

I may not be that far:
September 25 3:00 PM – 3:15 PM
They will show the new HoT trailer, talk about it, also talk about the future of the new Anet show that will take place of the PoI and the druid presentation all in 15 minutes.

That’s not necessarily true, just heresay. They will be at the convention for 2 whole days, which means that they might do the Druid reveal at their booth or whatever, but not in their stage presentation. Nobody knows.

Time crunch and what I’m going to assume is some kind of “come full circle” jazz where they finally reveal the Druid after the tease months and months ago at PAX.

Druid isn’t even going to be the main point of the stream. Anet’s not dumb. They know most players don’t care about what the Druid can do and will tune out if it’s just going to be a big show for a class they don’t even play/main.

The show’s likely going to be some time for the Druid reveal and a lot more for last minute HoT hype and teasers.

I’m expecting some more news about Raids and a hefty chunk of nebulous “this is where we are headed in the future” type of stuff.

You’r know nothing Jon Snow!

ATM there are huge silence around druid, so few information, allot of posts about core ranger etc… etc… So even players, who never played ranger are excited about it and waiting for it.

To be honest ATM ppl are waiting druid more than DH, Tempest, Chronomancer and Reaper all together.

I hope so. I really want to be wrong on this one.
