He says to expect GW2 beta by years end. News we already knew, but there is info on some other games that NC Soft supports.

Interesting interview, but not much as far as GW2 goes. I'm still wanting to see concept art or something, that would have been much more impressive than watching an Assassin fighting some random people.

I just have to add, I liked the host asking questions about 'topula raszah' as well.

i wonder how many lessons nc soft employees have to take for learning how to answer the question without really answering the question.

They are useful, every class is useful in their own ways, in different aspects.

Unless you care to elaborate how they aren't useful, then I don't know what you mean.

Chris' enthusiasm told more than his words!
His enthusiasm levels showed a remarkable difference throughout the interview.
You could tell he was nervous about how to answer the Tabula Rasa question and an obvious jolt of excitement in him when GW2 was mentioned.

Edit: Watched it again. Yeah he definitely looked like he had a flood of excited thoughts after the GW2 question, which he quickly contained. lol

If anyone gets pc gamer, I just got my march issue and the spoiler for the april issue said they had a huge announcement/cover story about a game they couldn't reveal the name of, but it was a series and involved bears O.o Could it be a big GW2 announcement? Can't wait for the april issue

That guy really has to stop starting just about every response/sentence with "sooo...."

Watching a newbie Sin with half a skill bar in the video was pretty retarded. Other than that though, he didn't say much about GW2, even though GW is probably NCSoft's flagship game. He should have said a lot more about GW2 just to boost interest and hype.

You know how they are. First they get really quiet. Then like 6-7 months before beta, a small bit of juicy info will leak out. Few days later Gaile starts talking about it. Few days after that she informs us that she got in trouble for saying too much. Few weeks after that, BURST OF OFFICIAL INFO. Then when it gets to like 4 months before the beta, they'll probably spoil half the story line and features.

(Ofcoarse thats based on the SF and NF releases, and they probably treat full game releases differently)

Either way, expect a random burst of info.

Thing that really got my attention is how Tabula Rasa (sp?) has decided to implement a auction house after only being out for a few months. The fans demanded it got what they wanted. Anet???

The makers of Tabula Rasa =/= makers of Guild Wars.


If you got what everything fans demanded for, this game would suck. Bad.

Tabula Rasa is a gearbased game, with an economy based on the gear... Just like most MMO's

Guild Wars was nevermeant to be gear based and the gamewas built more like an offline RPG than an mmo and the database structure can't handle an auction house type system... Another reason for the change to Guild Wars 2
