Just a heads up: German fansite Onlinewelten have a large (120MB) video available for download of a presentation given at Games Convention by German NCsoft community representative Martin Kerstein (in English):

[edit]The download link changed. Use this one. On the right side of the page there is a links that reads "Jetzt Downloaded!" Click that one.[/edit]

The video isn't excatly mindblowing, but still nice. It shows characters creation, the new professions, scenery, the new poison screen effect, and one of those new traps.

I want that 999 damage cheat. I tried /iddqd, but it doesn't work. Damn!

Looking at it, I don't think I'm gonna mind the new damage display. Kinda cool actually.

The poison screen will be a bit annoying though.

The background for the character selection looks nice.

It's actually quite a shame for the new scenery, like factions, if it's not in your face, you'll miss awesome areas in a blink.

Any other links to this? I'm only getting it at about 1.2KBs, and then after about 10 seconds it stops. :x

Whenever I click that link I get redirected to some random front page. The one time that I clicked it and it took me to a download page, I pressed download and it exploded since I wasn't allowing pop-ups from the site...

Save-Target-As renders similar failure to download.

You sure this is a direct download link?

EDIT: hmmz. It appears scrolling down reveals the download I was looking for :P

I guess in 2hrs and 52 secs I'll have this puppy downloaded :/ I'll have to wait til then to comment about it

EDIT2: Great, seems the download has come to a screeching halt, like it did for Duckchow...
anyone else know of an alternate source? Or know of what german knobbies and buttons to press on that website to make it faster?

Seriously, am I the only one having utter chaos with this download? It got to 7% all of the sudden and then starts saying that it's done downloading. Which it's not. It opens up a winrar thing with a message saying "unexpected end to archive" and as expected when I try and extract this incomplete archive, it says there are corruptions and errors that make the operation impossible.

I can't try and re-download it either because when I press the download button again it just reopens the incomplete corrupted zip file. Am I supposed to do anything but click the download button after I follow that link? What's the "bewerten" button all about above the download button? It looks to just be a vote for how good your download experience was or something. I voted Schlect once because that's what my download experience was, but I haven't done anything with it after? I've deleted my temporary internet files to get rid of the corrupt zip file but I'm afraid it'll just do it again once I redownload to 7.71MB

How is it no one else has any problems with this download. It would be enough if the download was just slow as ass but it's failing completely for me? What am I doing wrong with this silly download? I've deleted my temp internet files to get rid of the corrupt zip file but I'm afraid it'll just become corrupt again once I get to 7.71MB of the download again. :/

EDIT:Wow this time it stopped at 1.45MB and did the same thing :/

I got the video: 5 min download, 114 Mb, 7:50 minutes of video. Just went to the link, pressed download and chose save file as, and voila!

I dont know if i can upload it here or somewhere so you can download it, but if thats possible tell me, i would be glad to share the video.

My opinion:

0. The cheat is 999 dmg signet with zero cast and zero recharge, +10 health and energy regen. Can you cap it from the Outcast Boss?

jk
1. I like the landscape and the details of the environment, including the water effect and the smooother movement of your character. Just wow!
2. I really hate the new poison effect that turns the whole screen green.
3. The trap thing, announced as a new thing, already exists in Sorrows Furnace. However having it in a mission is quite interesting.
4. Confirmed: 3 heroes, and you will find each one of them separately and in certain points of the story. The heroes the presentator had were a female dervish and a female paragon.

for the people waiting/unable to download:

the trap is a smasher trap- same as in Sorrow's Furnace. Hopefully this will not be the extent of their marketing of 'o noes trapz mg'.

even on the low quality video capture we see some nice visuals tho.

and I thought I read on another german site that the Poison Effect ppl are talking about is just related to a monster skill hex... it looks like it cripples the person too (but obviously no one knows for sure)

not much is shown on the character creation screen- the guy really shoulda shown more of the hair/faces... that and the skin color combined with the capture method really leaves no room for details to be seen

Anyone else think the presenter reminded them of Governor Arnold? I expected him to ask the player "Who is your daddy and what does he do?"

Confused... I downloaded this just fine (~5 minutes), but when I tried to unpack it, the file was corrupted. Any ideas?

Well the download is starting at a good speed usually, it starts real fast but diminishes really fast. The times I've tried it it goes down to either 24.8 or 9.45KB/s. Even though it's saying these two speeds, I don't think it's actually going that fast. Perhaps it has to do with location. I'm on the West Coast of America, where are the ppl who aren't having good fast download speeds, East Coast or Europe?

Edit: Oh and I found a low quality version of this video on googlevideo. I'd still like to get my hands on the full quality one though. Here's the link to the low quality googlevideo one for those who are having d/l issues like me.

That means the file didn't download completely. You're probably having the same issue as most people here. The file starts and finishes too quickly.

I'm on the east coast for the record.

Well i think you can use filefront.com if you wanted to. Not sure if the video would be too huge. You've gotta set up a free account so I don't know if you want to go through all that trouble, but it'd be nice if you could.

Mine's screwed too, though it did have a good speed and I thought it downloaded just fine.
I'm on the west coast as well.

A link to an uncorrupted file would be nice.

Update, I re-downloaded it and it works fine now.

Nothing really earth-shattering in the video, but you do get to see the poison effect and one of the traps. Kinda neat. It's mostly boring running around killing stuff in the first mission with commentary.

I agree the video is rather boring compared with a cinematic or trailer. Nevertheless it has nice features, and given the eagerness of the guild wars community everything is welcome.

I asked a friend to help me with the edition. He cut the video in two pieces and uploaded it to youtube via his account.

I hope you will be able to see this video finally. I checked the links and they work fine.

Enjoy

Thank you for putting that on youtube. I finally got to see it.

The game looks good, with the exception of the poison effect. That has got to go. IMO, it adds nothing to the game except for annoyance and distraction.

For everybody having trouble downloading: Using a download manager that allows to resume interrupted downloads is strongly recommended!

Please note that he said: You may have a maximum of 3 heroes with you in a party at a time. To me, that implies that you may have more than 3 to choose from. Like, you have a total of 6 heroes (1 for each core profession), but you can pick only 3 of them to join a party. Just guessing here.

Some comments:

The narrator has an unhealthy obsession with the Paragon, IMO.

Narrator: Oh, and by the way, did you know the Paragon will always have angelic features on their armor?

Me: Why, yes, I do, since you mentioned it about three times already!

Other than that, nice to see some of the new graphics, but this video doesn't really show off too much of anything new. I'm a little alarmed about the Poison screen, will all conditions effect the screen like that?

If so, that could get old really fast. I assumed the Poison screen effects was only for special areas, like the "Poisoned Desert". I don't think it needs to be in effect everytime you're poisoned!

(PvP too?!?)

I don't like from new damage number pops. What is wrong with curren ones? Hopefully you can still keep them if you want. Full screen poisoned effect is a bit disturbing too.

Anyone notice how that paragon hench was bugged while he was looking at it to show off the armour? Stuck in a loop running mindlessly back and forth....looks like the AI/pathfinding still needs some work...

Damage numbers look a bit cartoony, but i love that whole screen poison thing (sounded like a new condition actually...i'm sure the guy said sth about 'madness') - if that's in PvP too it would be amazing, great to think you can actually make life hard for the player at the other end of the 'net like that

I think she was being driven crazy by the narrator's Paragon obsession...

The dmg display was better before, now it just pops up like WoW

The dungeon trap wasnt all that new like he said seeing as how something like that was already in Sorrows Furnace, so unless theres a lot more traps thats not new. :/

The paragon armor he kept showing off at selection we already saw in screenshots

The poison thing was kinda cool if they have one for other conditions too, and maybe make it a graphic option, to togglt on and off.

I was already excited about the game, that preview did not help much.

I used Mozilla, no problem , downloaded at ~500kb/sec.
That movie is a let down like you all said nothing really impreseve, poison doesnt like nice, but i dont expect it to go away ( think UI, death),like someone said the camera didnt allow us to see the char creation screen that well, but im afraid we will not be able to create light colored paragons/dervishers.

I actualy like the poison effect. Its more than just a green coat over the screen. There are actualy blur effects. It may be a distraction, but thats really what poison should be to begin with. This adds to the experience.

The damage text is cooler I suppose, but it really doesnt do anything.

If you dont want the poison effect then turn off post processing effects. That would probably remove it, along with the greying out effect when you die. But that would also remove stuff you want.
