Anyone else hyped for GW2? ( Guild Wars 2 )

I know it isnt coming out for a long time, but I was wondering if anyone else was realllllly hyped for this game, I need to play like a demo now!

GW2 =/= GW1 at all. Coming from someone who has played GW1 and experienced endgame material before they released all those expansions, GW2 is going a completely new direction. Visually, gameplay-wise, even interface. I was surprised when I first saw gameplay vids of GW2. I was like: "WOW. This is a completely new and different game." With that said, I'm very hyped. I had a lot of fun when GW1 came out so I could imagine with how advanced GW2 is compared to its predecessor, I know I'll love it either way.Elann2008

Pretty much summed it up, and im glad they are doing it, looks like its gonna be the ****

basically its going full mmo from an online rpg

will ahve lots more races 9playable) and it will let you carry over your old hero's achievements into the new game.. did i mention you can carry over your characters suffix in their name technically making your new toon an "offspring"

Guildwars 1 didnt, just some extra character slots and other minor rip-offs

Never liked first one but never tried expansions. But gw2 seems to have alot more leveling and thats what i like leveling and collecting loot.

it looks awesome, and could be teh destroyer of al other mmorpgs!

Looks great, they had me at 'no grind' as every level takes the same amount of time (1-2 takes the same time as 60-61).

[QUOTE="ionusX"]

[QUOTE="testfactor888"] I will look into it. I am not opposed to trying it out just figured since I diden't like the first one at all I would not like the 2nd

basically

one accomplishments in guidlwar 1 give you point for guildwars 2.. at a certain number of points you get something, an exclusive skill, a mini pet, a new weapon or two, a title for guildwars 2. whats cooler si that the rewards add up its not jsut oh you got 13 points you get jsut this.. you get everything between 1-13

you get points from doing any number of things, getting a title, placing something in the HoM(or a certain item or number of items), finishing the HoM, completing a campaign, winning in pvp tournaments, etc.

for example i have 10 elite aromrs, 12 hero's + 2 pets, 30 mini's and 4 weapons in the HoM as well as 3 titles

that gives me say.. 48 point

i get everything between 1-48 come gw2

theres a point calculator on the guildwars 2 website

one can also bring over (its not clearly stated but its either) all or part of a characters name on your account to guildwars 2.

meaning either you get to take all of it, or the 1st half (prefix), or the second half (suffix) as the naming scheme requires 2 word names.

they arent that mind blowing.. a mini pet sits there and follows you around, name reservation is w/e, the gear can be aquired by newbies as well its simply we get them for free you would need to go find them. titles are petty trifle to complain over. and at my recollection we get 1 skill.. damn thats a crime

really all the rewarding veterans does is making gear gathering shorter and making your gamepaly more comfortable and adjusted.

guidlwars 1 is a LONG game to get everything done in and to even be able to near the highest end gear in the calculator is an achievement.

and you can add to it after gw2 arrives and you can continue to add to it as they expand the game.

also we are getting jipped too. 100,000 man horus goes into a full hall and theres alot fo stuff there.. we dotn see a cent of it.. we get a FRACTION of it back as different stuff.

to fill a hall costs nearly 10 billion gold (assuming you pay for everything) and nearly 5,000 hours of playtime. assuming you dont resort to ebay.

[QUOTE="ionusX"]

[QUOTE="testfactor888"] So basically new players are at a disadvantage if they diden't play GW1? I mean I know the rewards don't really sound game breaking that original players get but its still putting new players at a disadvantage. Sounds like a pretty good reason not to pick up the sequel unless you bothered to play the first onetestfactor888

well i imagine one such feature COULD be say we need to pay for some content.. you might not

there are talk of low level intro dungeons we veterans wouldnt get unelss we apid for them.. you wouldnt have to fork over a cent.

Aren't all the items you get all COSMETIC? No change in gameplay at all?

1. All items and titles are purely aesthetics. They're not designed to give people large bonuses; heck, they even said that the armours and weapons are designed for lower level characters

The equipment themselves differ only in appearance, and there will be similar, and most definately greater, weapons acquirable through standard gameplay. It's just a thank you, and will have no impact on gameplay other than not having to find or buy a different weapon at the level where you are able to acquire them.

The titles? Again, something that you didn't have to do anything, or, very little in GW2 to claim. Titles acquired in GW2 will most definately be revered more as the game ages rather than those in GW1 due to the difficulty in acquiring them relative to GW2.

I'm very excited about GW2, but I don't like that they haven't told us when it's coming out. :x

I think I'm gonna be picking it up. I have a whole bunch of games to hold me over until then so it's not like it's really a big deal. I'm still a little skeptical about getting it though because I really wasn't too impressed with Guild Wars: Nightfall...

The only problem with guild wars is the fact that its soo time consuming, i think they should make most of the titles easier in guild wars 2 because in the first one a lot of them were ridiculous, like the gladiator title for instance. I hope they raise the level cap as well, 20 was too easy to reach and therefore not as satisfying when you got to it. Graphics look amazing for a mmorpg, and so does the combat :P

Not hear, this is a fact, the level cap is 80. Also, dont be concerned about levling all the way to 80 because the same time it takes to get to 10-11 is AROUND the same time to get from 79-80. The leveling plateaus instead of going up and up and up.. If you didnt know. :D
