Summer Update Preview

Yeah I was losing my anticipation for it after a while because screenshots weren't giving me the feeling of wanting it because the screenshots didn't reveal anything new! I am glad they added a new movie because my anticipation is back again!

indeed it will. im not complaining per say
im just saying, if theyre trying to keep my in suspense for this long waited release, itll take more than one new monster, a background boss and a vamped version os shiverpeaks.
I hope all my expectations are incorrect

Hmm just a question, does anyone if there are going to be any outposts in the new areas? If so, wouldnt that mean two new major cities?

How much do I care about PvE? 0
to each their own,
other players (like me) enjoy the PvE

He just has a grudge against ANet.
And no they probably will not add new skills until the next expansion!

A few thoughts:
Release Date: Not this week for sure.
Content: New quests, two large new areas
Monsters and such: It's part of the existing world, it's not an "expansion pack" or a new chapter. This is a major update, certainly larger than I saw in the games I played with those periodic or monthly updates. But it is not intended to replace a new chapter, which will be huge. I don't know how else to explain it other than to say there will be a lot to see and do and experience in the live update.
Focus: The development of this area does not in any way mean we're not attending to concerns in other areas of the game. There are many small teams working on the game, and putting in the Summer Update will not forestall PvP changes, development of Chapter 2, or finalization of our plans for the global tournament.
Hope this is helpful information, and thanks to those who had such positive comments to make.

Ascended Content
As I mentioned in my last open letter, one of our top priorities has been adding content for ascended roleplaying characters. It's on the way. We are now entering a testing and polish phase on Sorrow's Furnace and other new ascended content. The additions will include new quests, new monsters, new items and new accelerated sources of XP and rare items.
That's from the state of the game letter... So as long as these are not empty promises, we will get new items.

Would anyone feel like posting screen captures of interesting things/creatures? I'm sorry to tell GW, but 20+ mb files aren't a reasonable download for their dial-up players. :P
Myrkwid
Uh! I can't await that update
Somehow it's a bit cruel to releasing a another video, now I'm really hungry for that area.
But on another note: What happened to "Grenth's Footprint"?
Don't call me greedy, I'm just curious. I think since the news about the summer update on 16th May 2005 it hasn't been mentioned again.
Maybe I have just missed something due to excessive guildwars playing

I don't understand why all of you who say that you have "given up" on Guild Wars continue to troll around these boards and post MULTIPLE responses to thread after thread.
If you've given up then please, and I think I speak for a large part of the community here, MOVE ON!
If you wanna feel part of a forums community go to freaking Friendster or something we don't need you jabbing in your little counter productive 2 cents on a game you don't even like or play anymore.
I myself thought the movies looked good and am looking forward to the added content. Yes the metal boss looks like a background character, but in truth he reminds me of a Contra boss. The type wher he would be part of the background and you'd have to hang from the ceiling and and shoo the blue diamond on his head that only apeared when he'd breath fire or some crazy junk like that. I miss my Nintendo.

quitting a game doesnt mean someone shouldnt be able to post about it and voice their oppinion, if you dont want to read it then its not that hard to move your eyes or even scroll downa bit

Let's get back on topic, folks. Let's see...what was it again?
Seriously, do not let this degenerate into yet ANOTHER PvP/PvE discussion, body slam contest. Stick to the topic and if you just can't contain yourself, send along a juicy PM to the person offending you.

I say it again, I did not seen anything interesting since only thing that was "new" was the golem/robot/whatever (and I already knew about it).
Krank
Can anyone give a yes or no answer to my question, seriously anything would do
Nizzim
yeah this offers nothing new to the table, i know its just showing off the terrain, but cmon, its no different than...oh say...borliss pass mission, with fire
not impressed

One *minor* quibble...
The movie shows all sorts of classes doing all sorts of cool things to many different enemies in beautiful locations that look simply outstanding. However, I could find only a few frames of my favorite class, the lowly Mesmer. She was posing dramatically, for sure, in her tiny little skirt, but I'd have liked to have seen at least a few more seconds of a Mesmer in action. Alas!

i love GW (been pretty much addicted, finished the storyline in <100 hours over 18 days) and everything, but i just dont see whats so good about that video. the only thing that interested me was the boss at the end :\
DrSLUGFly
The Title "Beta-Tester" may not be accurate and my only mean "tester" if the game isn't actually in Beta yet... Just a thought.
As for the video... I look forward to the new area (and hope it's not favor related) and look forward to killing the one new monster that the vid revealed to us. I also look forward to seeing 8 of us try to take out that massive clockwork monster! Perhaps (unrevealed) they've finally included a way to party together two teams of 8 Would make the massive monster in the furnace more approachable.

I keep seeing people say that the boss was the only new monster... watch again and look closer, I'm pretty sure there's another that we see a few times in that video.
FeuerFrei
Cool video...really looking forward to it...esp the HUGE boss that spews lava over you
Rayea
well, i cant dl the vid, mainly cause i dont wanna screw up my machine by adding the roxio content that the latest versions of media player add, and Divx, pff, no thanks my macine dosent like them, but it *sounds* interesting, from everyones comments
reading the part from the state of he game letter, it sounds to me, like most if not all of sorows furnace will be mainly for accended people.
guess the guys in Dev have got to go with the largest groups, and all the folks that ran ahead <not mean like running, just meant like got there faster than me and mine> would need somehting to keep then playing other thn spanking peeps in the PvP arena and so forth.^^;
still, hopeing that those that havent quite managed to get to acention will still at least be able to wander round the town/outpost part once they get there....that, for me, is the more important part, compared to the missions ect, i just like to travel to a new area in the game and look around.
guess there should be a new class, Tourist

I just hope its has a new outpost/standing area, since Boris Path is long and boring.

we shouldnt be making judgements about a huge expansion when our opinions are only based on a little video

I'm wondering what to use first in my first journey there. Warrior, ranger or monk...hmmm.
I wonder if the entrance will be that tunnel thingy with the statue inside that building. It's near dreadnoughts i believe.
