Guild Wars 2

I really doubt that it will be released sooner than around August. Beta testing will start after the short pause that will be after Rezzed, so let’s say it starts in April. I seriously doubt that they would betatest it only for 2 months, in order to release it around june. August gives them more time and they will have an opportunity to release it on the 3. anniversary of the game.

Hell yeah I am going to buy it. I’ll order it the first day, the preorder will be enabled. This MMORPG is the only one that holds my attention since the start and is still interesting. I really like this game and I liked the announced features. It’s sure choice for me.

Some time ago, I’ve made a decision to create a music video for the Season 2. However I couldn’t pick the song, so I’ve made a poll, you voted and here is the final music video!

What my Sylvari thinks about Mordremoth?

You asked for it

For me it will depend on which armor will look the best on them. Also if there will be a new profession, I will most likely combine it with a new race.

Sadly this wasn’t in consideration.

Thank you for voting! Really appreciated

Hello guys,
I wasn’t sure whether to post it to the “community creations” subforum or this one, but I need your help so I chose this.

Season 2 has ended and I think it deserves a tribute video. I have decided to make one, something like a music video/trailer for it but I can’t pick from the 4 songs. Could you help me?

Here are the songs: PLAYLIST

And you can vote for your favourite song here: Straw Poll

Thank you very much!

So I got inspired by one of the forum reactions on a PAX post (Can’t wait!)

The official trailer for the Point of no return seemed to me lacking in hype and was too peaceful for me. And because I really can’t wait for the Season 2 finale, I’ve decided to create my version:

Hey guys!

This time I’ve collected various cutscenes and trailers showing the destruction in Tyria. I made a video compilation of (almost) all these events that happened after the fall of Zhaitan.

http://youtu.be/DBc5BdcQDh0

I hope you’ll like it

What if the Guardians of Galaxy occured in Tyria? I made a trailer for that case:

http://youtu.be/nk_o980odKM

I hope you’ll like it, guys

What if the FRIENDS series occured in Tyria?

http://youtu.be/YjE4WbUyRK4

In my opinion, the Season 2 will end with Mordremoth rising and causing a lot of damage to Tyria, something like Zhaitan rising and causing the flooding of LA and rise of Orr. Devs have been mentioning a great destruction coming along with the rise of an elder dragon so I think they’ve been hinting the finale of this season.

Is there any reference of Anet confirming the 20 dev size of Living World Team?

Hey guys!

I’m Levi and I make GW2 videos.

Some time ago, I’ve been offered a collaboration on a GW2 machinima along with 10 other content creators. We’ve decided to create a new channel for our project, where we’ll post our videos that we’ll work on together. It’s called Black Lion Theatre Company and is hosted by lovely Evon Gnashblade who is really supportive of our project

Since our first video is finally in a state of postproduction, we’re releasing a little teaser for our collaboration: http://youtu.be/F754e25A58c

We all hope you’ll like it

Stay tuned for the release of the new video that will be released Soon^TM

Hey guys!

In about a month a Wintersday comes to Tyria and I thought it to be a great opportunity to present my new trailer for it!

http://youtu.be/O_FBgORl9Xw

Too bad it is blocked by the music companies in germany because I used “Let it snow” song there :/

I hope you guys enjoy it anyway!

The lore of this game is really amazing and original, I love it. And the foefire scene was really well done

Hey guys!

This time I’ve prepared something special!

I’ve always admired a Guild Wars 2’s artstyle so I’ve collected all concept art cutscenes and trailers and created this cinematic. There is no gameplay footage used whatsoever! Not even classic “gameplay cutscenes”, I’ve used only concept art cutscenes.

I hope you’ll like it

Hey guys! It’s Levi again!

For a long time I wanted to make a video (trailer) about the plot of the book Edge of Destiny. This book has brought me to the Guild Wars 2 universe and I’ve finally did it! I hope you guys will like it as much as I do like the used music in combination with the story of this awesome novel

My first video was about the Season 2. It had many flaws and was oversaturated because of the program’s faulty rendering.

Because a new episode shall be released soon, I’ve got an idea to make a proper fan trailer for the Season 2. I hope that you’ll like it

Hello again guys!

This time I’ve made a trailer about Zhaitan. I tried to make ti look epic. I think I succeeded. What do you think?

http://youtu.be/FVsFxwdxjmY

Don’t be so excited, last 8 queens were beheaded

sorudo.9054:

snip

Do it! It sounds awesome!

Vesuvius.9874:

Crazy stuff! Really good work with the video. Looking forward to see more

Well, you are in luck! Just a while ago I uploaded a new one for this years Halloween

Hey guys! A few days ago, I got an idea about how could the Halloween story of the Thorn family continue. So I made a trailer for this years Halloween that presents it:

http://youtu.be/l2SPS6wBnRI

I hope you’ll like it

What do you think? How would you like the Thorn family story to continue?

Thank you all! I didn’t expect such success!

I am glad you like it and I am also already working on my own teaser for this years Halloween Festival. I just hope I’ll manage to make it before the official trailer comes out Stay tuned.

Haishao.6851:

That’s a really good trailer.
It’s a shame anet trashed all of this.

Let’s hope that the rework of the Season 1 will be ready soon

Hey guys! I created a new trailer mashup that portrays Scarlet’s path of destruction since her last sane thought in journal until her death.

Enjoy! I hope that you will like it

I am so glad I finished leveling my 12th alt before the patch, and I think that this has discouraged me enough for stop being an altoholic in this game. Leveling and story was the reason why I loved having so many alts. Now I couldn’t care less. I have 11 lvl 80 characters and the last 23 lvl human one will probably stay at that level.

Anet, please stop think of us as a bunch of drooling babies. Yes the tutorial was needed, but not in this way. Obtaining weapon skills actually taught the players about them. Levelgating is an awful way and probably the worst one to pick if you want to prolong the leveling experience. Story gating is also silly. I don’t understand the reasons for all this. If you had feedback from China, why did you implement this, if they didn’t like it?

Trading post is nice BTW but that is probably the only part of this feature pack that was fine to me.

Anet, I love this game and I have to join the crowd of people that don’t like the direction it is heading on. Now is a very important time to listen to feedback.

Oh Bobby, this made me happy! Please bring her back.

Mr. Whiteside first let me express my admiration, you have the nerves of steel, I wouldn’t endure half of the angry posts!

I have to say that I understand both angry customers and developers… I work in software development so I know how hard it is to deal with the customer and of course sometimes things don’t work out as planned. I understand the policy of silence until the feature is developed. I also understand the angry gamers.

I’ve been ok with this development so far, but only mostly because I am an altoholic (working on my 11th character) and achievement hunter (nearing 14K achievement points). I love the design, the combat is perfect, however I miss many things also, but this is not the place to discuss it.

Living Story is great, in my opinion, I like the episodic playing, but I am also one of the people that would love to see an expansion. I am ok with no expansion if I have always something new to find, explore and experience in terms of content regularly.
I have many things to praise, however I have always felt that the communication and PR is lacking, but who am I to judge (a person without any experience in this field). Still, I think that the roadmap would solve many issues and it would calm many angry players. Why? I guess you know, it has been said here a lot… we don’t know where you are heading. We want this game to be successful, we want to express many and new adventures and we want to look forward to coming things.

You don’t want to disappoint us, I also don’t like dealing with angry customers that demand the product on time despite the unforeseen circumstances and flaws and changes.

We are ok with you saying: “Guys, a problem has come up that made us postpone this long awaited feature, but we are working on it.” Or “Things have changed, we had to stop develop this in order to bring you something that”. This all is ok, just please be more transparent, we understand that you have limited resources and are only human, just let us know. The uncertainity is very strong thing, we are completely uncertain about the future and that can lead to fear, anger, panic, just like we don’t know what happens after death, that’s why many people fear the death. And we may fear the future for this wonderful game. (whoa what a metaphor!)
Feedback is very important for the developer. It is also important to us. To establish a healthy developer-customer dialogue is very difficult, but let’s try that! Don’t let the whiny babies discourage you, ignore the trolls, just keep on with the communication and the community will appreciate it.

It doesn’t have to be detailed preview, but for example a blogpost twice a year telling us about the predicted next direction would be awesome! I loved the state of the game blogposts by Colin Johanson. Of course nobody expects you to tell us there about everything, just leak some interesting info that will make us look forward to the future additions!
Mr. O’Brien, Johanson, Whiteside and others, please think about it. We love the game, we care, we want it to be successful, we want all to enjoy it for a long time. Communication is vital in every relationship, and this between you and us is no exception.

Of course I don’t speak for everyone, mainly for myself and some of my friends, so just our two cents.

I dislike the saturation also because it is how the program rendered it, I did nothing with it :/

And concerning the end scene and the last fight, when there will be HD videos of it, I will consider doing the second video

Hello fellow Tyrians!

My name is Levi and I have made a music video for the Season 2 of the Living Story. I used the scenes from the trailers for each episode and also from the Omadd's machine cinematic

This is my first video, I feel that the music really suits the mood of the story.

So, some spoilers ahead if you haven’t played it yet!

Enjoy

Hvaran.6327:

MY prediction btw.

2h Hammer, it was tested long time ago but i think they waited for China to get into the game.

No way, this will be balance change preview, not new feature preview

The right chronological order:
1) Dragons awaken
2) Pact is formed by 3 orders
3) Our character experiences the vision in Omadd’s machine

OP get your facts straight and don’t troll much

Waiting for the precursor drop is like waiting for the lottery to be won. Just play the game, save the gold and buy it on Trading Post. (until there is Precursor Crafting introduced, you know Soon™)

Smith.1826:

I’m hoping some posts got deleted, because if he’s replying to me then he’s making no sense _

Yes they were

EDIT: I almost forgot to congratulate Anet! That is a nice number!

Palador.2170:

The new Mini will be the Mad King in Queen Jennah’s gown.

Every now and then it will say lines like “Don’t I look lovely?”, “Where are my shoes?”, or “Does this make my butt look big?”

THIS! Please this

Sean.8274:

They could also incorporate “dark” effects like the mine in Dry Top into the dungeon.

Good idea! However they could also incorporate “dark” effects for the night. A man can dream

You compare an MMO where you can play various races to the single player games where you can play only one race (Mass Effect) or humanoid race which can be easily disguised in some armor (Skyrim). The point is, if there would be some representation of a player, let’s say an Asura necro, there would be many people whining why Asura, why not Norn or Charr or human and why necro.

Anet just wants to give you a sneak peak of what’s happening next. By the way, there are many references to your character and to your personal story in the last episode.

I think yes, but sadly not all of them. Some of those voice actors are really hard to get. Why do you think there wasn’t any new Zojja dialogue? Felicia Day is really busy

BrunoBRS.5178:

i’ll just leave this other franchise’s elder dragon here.

I could imagine this for the Kralkatorik and we would be chasing him on one of those giant charr tanks

OP, just remember: You know you are good at playing the game if people call you a cheater

Tipper.7354:

…someone new who’d be introduced before Trahearne needs replacing and prove themselves capable. A lot of people want the Tengu to become playable, one of them would be interesting…

I like this idea, that would be a great step to introducing Tengu race

@Angel: I am really curious about the LS2 What interests me the most is if the Destiny’s Edge won’t be the big part of the next story. Their mission was to go after the dragons but it seems that after Zhaitan they felt like “Oh well, our work is done”. I understand that some of the voice actors are really hard to get but I would be really interested in putting their personal reasoning into the game=so that Rytlock and company would personally explain to our character why they aren’t going after the next dragon. That would be cool.

Edit: and maybe I’m wrong, I guess I will have to wait and see.

djsarcher.9263:

This would be great, not just for screenshots, but general vision, I feel like I stare at the ground too much, and only look up to see the scenery every so often.

This, large characters have such a great view in comparison to the small ones. Though it feels more immersive I guess

In my opinion, charr female should get also a dragon on tail. I don’t care about the cleavage hole. I don’t like this outfit, so I guess I will save money for something else

I would love that! My Asura still doesn’t have such a great view as my Norn
