Guild Wars 2

Would be weird if they gave a lvl80 booster after basically reworking the entire lvling process as a preparation for the new players coming in. Add to that the slew of tomes and scrolls you get and no lvl 80 booster would be wastefull.
I suppose they could put a lvl80 booster in the gemstore for the really impatient an uninformed players.

I believe Colin said gliders are pve only, so no wvw. Not entirely sure about that though.

x), I guess I wasn’t the only one that thought this ready up ep was waste of resources for everyone involved (us too). Februari 13 first pvp stronghold footage was the only noteworthy thing but not enough to warrant a Ready up ep. A tweet would have been enough.

Would be really nice to have that extra slot. Saves me 800 gems, although char slots will prob go on sale around release. Would make sense anyway.

Want to downvote the OP so bad.

If you don’t lvl oldschool you’re not hardcore. :p

This is something I would like to know aswell so I don’t waste my gems for a char slot when you’re getting one free.

Also Norn for me but I’m betting we’ll be getting a lot of char revenants following Rytlock’s wake.

We haven’t seen that Dragon snake monster in the pact fleet finisher before have we? Maybe a hint towards design Mordremoth or a champion?

“It will require strength, strategy, and insight”

Also, Raid confirmed.

Also Mursaat confirmed as new race.

On a more serious note. Not that I believe it will happen but how awesome would it be to have them as a playable race. The community is already kittening about their possible return to the story. Imagine the reaction if they would become a playable race. But again I see that as very unlikely.

I love the trailer but the fact that they’re calling this ‘part 1’ has me slightly worried this is the first part to the final of this second season. Hope it’s not true though.

Never gave it much thought but hells to the yeah Llama’s! I really hope we’ll get that now and seems somewhat of a no-brainer.

I always saw WP’s more as a functional, practical mechanic where they added some small portion of lore to not leave it unexplained. It’s nice to see that they seems to really incorporate WP’s into the story.

Feels like the OP has some unrealistic expectations. They’re doing fine right now and I’m curious to see what they have for us on tuesday.
And the content is longer then 2 hours. It’s not just the story part but also map exploration, events, JP,…

The map really shines during the day. I wonder what more we’ll see in this map.

How can you not like Taimi? My favorite character of the entire lot.

Arenanet’s release time is their little RNG element they like to add to the game. Trie to see the fun of it, because it’s pointless to get anxious about it.

@Ilgust Little bit of a negetive nancy no?
@OP seems to be a bit to overexpecting. I expect like 2 maps. Anything more would be awesome but I’m not holding my breath for it.
New race and weapon set seems higly doubtfull but who knows.

A new (big) map with a lot of stuff to do: events, vista’s, skill points, POI and an extensive story episode could warrant a 4 weeks window. But you already know now, that people will complain about a 4 weeks window like some are doing now.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

I suppose they could do 3-week ones, but they’ve usually been multiples of 2 in the past, it seems.

I kinda feel the episode content would have to be quite extensive to warrant a 4 weeks window.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

The entire video is on the Journal and Season Two (except a bit about making Season One replayable some day). It’s only 26 minutes.

Ok, I am watching it again, because it is so good, and they speak about release windows at about 7:45.

Video Description

Kate, Colin, and Steven delve into what’s coming up with the Guild Wars 2 Story Journal

Oh, when i clicked the link I ended up on the balance philosophy stream. That clears it up. I saw that story jounal vid but I don’t recall them saying 4 weeks as the length of a LS episode. I recall them saying it could be longer then 2 weeks but not 4 weeks specifically. 4 weeks also seems quite long for an episode. I guess it depends on how extensive the episode is but I would be surprise if we get an episode that lasts 4 weeks.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Yes, some releases will be 4 weeks, rather than 2 weeks. You can hear the Developers speak about Season Two here: http://www.twitch.tv/guildwars2/c/4456907

When do they talk about season 2 in that vid? Don’t really want to watch the entire thing.

Hope they do a trailer. Would really get the buzz going beyond the GW2 community.

I like the addition of Taimi as a character. One of the few characters that feels fleshed out with an intersting backstory.

Seems like the hints are very thin and won’t tell us substantial stuff about season 2. Guess we have to wait untill july 1 to see what’s in store for us.

I’m not complaining, but… starts complaining

I love this line. ^^

Queensdale seems to be doing fine with the megaserver and the champ train was never intended by Arenanet, so in that perspectove this is a fix.

Btw, this isn’t the start of Living story season 2 as someone stated above. Season 2 still has to start.

Makes no difference if its the real start or a bit of filler. There are activities in the game that will have drawn people out of the starter maps.

I completely agree. I just wanted to make it clear to prevent people saying ‘LS2 sucks, arenanet sucks, blabla…’

So they get the exact same Personal Story aswell? That does kind of ruin the experience for the China players. Doesn’t really matter for EU/US players, since pretty much everyone completed it while LA was still there.
As long as they give a good explanation, it should work though.
