    YouTube - Guild Wars 2 Trailer

    Bin 2 years since anyone heard anything about GW2 and Anet releases a trailer during the german gaming expo. This game looks amazing in graphics and gameplay likewise. Being a player of gw1, and still am, this looks very exciting.

    Oh and the dragon in the trailer isnt the only one, theres 4-5 more.

    and so far the release is TBA

    I used to play GW and really enjoyed it, but this... this is just on a whole other level. In game graphics looked amazing, environments were crazy and mystical, and I love that they are introducing multiple races with it looks like more than a few interesting classes. I'd practically given up on PC gaming a long time ago, but I'll definitely have to make an exception for this.

    Yeah I was wondering if this game existed until today, the trailer makes the game look amazing, better than any MMO. I have bin thinking of so many possibilities on what to make like asuran monk with golem for protection or norn warrior to go beastmode with the bear.

    I don't even know what you're talking about. I never got any of the expansions, so looks like I'll have to completely relearn the game. Ah well, I'll just have to wait til it's released; whenever that is.

    No subscriptions is what made them popular! They were smart to release expansion packs for more money though. I need to get GW2 now. It looks awesome. The last time I played GW1 was in...years.

    They said there's going to be different professions, so some of those professions may or may not make a return in the next game.

    Will there be a subscription fee for Guild Wars 2?

    Nope. Like the original Guild Wars, there will be no subscription fee for Guild Wars 2. You just buy the game and play it online without paying a monthly fee.

    That's assuming the classes are the same, which I hope are. We should get to use the classes we've unlocked from our own expansions, that would be cool. I could be something of a Dervish Norn, which would be sweet. Or an assassin sylvari! Probably not though. Following base classes:

    Asura: Elementalist
    Charr: Warrior
    Sylvari: Hunter
    Norn: Monk
    Human: Necro
    Asura: Illusionist

    If we only get six classes, that is. We should get the free slots back as well.

    There will be no character imports or anything of the sort because GW2 is using a new system with new professions. Certain classes like the Warrior and Monk are trademark and will most likely come back with different names, but that's all we can be sure of right now.

    I realise there will be no character imports, but there will be the Eye of the North, which could utilize some of those aspects for material objects, but I would like some more gut for my money.

    god damnit, I've never heard of the game and when some guy posted the trailer I was hyped, but I don't play PC games.. shucks. It looks like a great game nonetheless.

    hehe ya and i though AB's were epic. If anyone wants to add me ingame its Xx Quik Silver Xx, i can help with w/e if I'm bored. Or if your not playing anymore ill take the account lol

    Oh and heres something really interesting:

    We actually don't have a traditional RPG/MMO quest system," Flannum continues. "Instead what we've got are Events. Think of them as group-orientated activities. This is one of the many things that will encourage the player to explore the world - you can wander through and never quite know what you're going to see. You might come across a fortress that's being attacked by centaurs, or it might be that the centaurs attacked half an hour before you got there and they hold it now. You might start walking along a road you've walked a hundred times and suddenly there's a caravan travelling along that road that you may not have seen, and you can go help that caravan out."

    So that means to be involved in quests you have to be there when it happens. This sounds really awesome, kind of like Fallout 3 when you might see someone getting attacked and then later find them dead.
