pumpkin pie
hrmz, wolf bear and pig all look almost the same.....
J snukka
this is good news for me. The beta delay gives me time to spend on my
PS3 games, especially since GW is the only PC game i play. But the PS3 doesn't stop me from wanting to read up on new GW2 info. so come on ANET spill some juicy media.

no they are not lolhog
wild boar
wolf
polar bear
brown bear
I am guessing those are same body types, and someone is taking a short cut by only replacing the head and not doing a very good job at differentiating them.
Wouldn't be surprise they all share the same animation as well.... but we shall see.
Don't get me wrong, the art work is fantastic. but if its 3 different types of "beast", then it better be 3 different type of beast. and not one type of beast with same animation that uses different skills, that would be very disappointing since the art work is so damn beautiful.

Wait, so do we have to have the same name from this first gw in the gw2 to be able to get the titles?

Anyway, they all look bad ass, but I'm guessing Boar Form is more of a Tank, where as Bear will most likely be damage and DPS...

| You will be able to add to the Hall of Monuments in the original Guild Wars even after the release of Guild Wars 2, and any newly unlocked accomplishments will then be visible in Guild Wars 2. We will provide more information about the exact rewards for each Hall of Monuments accomplishment as we get closer to the release of Guild Wars 2. |
So we will get a reward for each COMPLETETD monument.

It would be pretty bad for new players who do not have GW1 to get GW2 only to discover that a lot of names they cannot use.?
Well, although I do want to use one or 2 of my existing names. but i do think its not very fair to new players.

After YEARS of play, to which the only way to unlock certain items/aspects of play is grind there is still elements which have not been found. I don't know if Diablo is the game you compare it to.

When you apply the term "MMO" to a game these days, a lot of things are expected of it, including: mounts, large emphasis endgame, long (and meaningful) level cap, increasing your "skill" through gear and weapons, etc. Is it a problem GW doesn't have these? Far from it. It's only a problem when people pick up GW with these expectations, and that's what you get when you pen the name MMO on it hence why I don't use it. The gameplay is much less WoW and much more Diablo i.e. "hack n slash" with a much more intelligent form - that last part is a lie, of course.
And that's my problem with the "grind" in GW: you're rewarded for it. Not only in the form of a shiny weapon, but also in the form of having an easier time playing through the game. I don't care how much "grind" GW has as long as it doesn't give you an in-game advantage, which is why I have a problem with it now.

The only thing I would like to know is how many in a guild roster not 100 this time more like 40.
Gun Pierson
I want to know about the long term plan of GW2. Will there be chapters/expansions? In what form will they add new content? How will they keep the population concentrated? Less outposts, more dungeon like style, one continent?
Next, what are the game mechanics and how did they solve the problems that made them move to GW2 in the first place?
And what about the skill>time and the vanity approach? Lots of grind?

and you have to have HoM to reserve your character name across from GW1 to GW2
pumpkin pie
ah, thanks. I thought if 4 million players have all 4 millions names x numbers of characters all reserved, then basically you can't name your character anything but your GW1 names
lol

I mean atlest 1 million of those 5 million must have to have been Bot accounts, and then you have another 500K "mule accounts".

when we are doing HA in GW1 you can assign a chat channel in ventrilo or team speak for this HA group to better be able to coordinate their fighting strategy.
Right, now, how do you organise an open world PvP on a chat program?
will guild wars 2 have a build in voice-chat capability?
no one is interested in knowing how to tell 100 players in a massive PVP battle what to do???

In Wold PvP, I can see the skill as coming together and learning to work together with a larger, more active community, without the chat (i.e.: with less vernacular communication).
