Just by watching the first minute about the engineer I now want this game. I was iffy before, but seeing as is "F2P" after the box purchase, definitely going to pick this one up as long as I am not preoccupied in RIFT.

EDIT: After watching the entire thing, I am sold.

I will play this and TOR. Still skeptical about the combat in this though.

Grainy-ass footage... granny-ass footage? Whatever! Elementalist player kinda knowing what he's doing. Damn sexy skills those elementalists gonna have.

Looks awesome.

#11 Posted by Akrid (1324 posts) - 1 year, 9 months ago

Looks fantastic, but at the same time too different to prevent me from getting that traditional MMO itch.

#12 Posted by Heltom92 (622 posts) - 1 year, 9 months ago

I really don't see what is so fantastic about. Looks good though.

So looking forward to this game. The Engineer profession seems kinda boring thou.

Thanks for the updates.

The original Guild Wars was fantastic, hope this turns out great. Looks good!

#16 Posted by PenguinDust (12097 posts) - 1 year, 9 months ago

Yeah, as it stands today, I plan to pick it up as well as SWTOR and Tera.  These videos are good but they don't increase my excitement any.  Interesting to watch, though.

Another talking head video, but there's a nice big flatscreen next to the dude with some necro gameplay. Love how the mais plants react to projectiles. Almost Crysis-like leaf-tech.

The full Comic Con Panel of Guild Wars 2... 51 minutes of talking heads. Guess I'll check it out when I'm bored.

  Burly Norn Guardian Gameplay - really dig the Tron aesthetic of the class.
  And a lil off-screen footage montage...

Woah - nice finds. Will watch in the morning - 1:45am here.

@Seppli: Thanks for the Panel video!

Gah I can't wait for this. Picked up GW Trilogy during the Steam sale and I absolutely love it! I could definitely play some more of this, especially with the gorgeous graphical update.

Another video from ComicCon emerged. Quite decent. Interview & a lil Charr Elementalist gameplay. The more I see of the elementalist class, the more I fall in love with it. Looks so versatile with awesome spell effects and much damage. Never rolled a cloth class as a main, I just prefer heavy armor looks generally. I might be swayed otherwise this time around and don the robes of an elementalist.
