The Guild Wars 2 Manifesto

I'm not sure about the extent top which I buy anything they were saying, but that is some impressive game engine trailering. Well played.

How about they actually show some straight up gameplay instead of theatrical shit like this? I hate trailers that show everything but the actual game they're advertising.

Sounds good, we'll see how it plays.

Can't wait for this game!

Man, I love their art design.

YES can't wait!

Thank you ArenaNet for not being afraid to innovate.  Can't wait.

I do hope there are mounts of some sort at higher levels. I can tell there is going to be a metric fucktonne of running in this game.

" STOP TELLING ME WHAT I SAY AND FEEL WHILE PLAYING YOUR GAME, DEVELOPERS. GOD DAMN. "

no grind eh? 
 
Clearly after he moved to guild wars 2 team the guy who taken his place in guildwars didnt had the same opinion.

I was a huge fan of GW, and am skeptical about the direction GW2 is headed in.  I liked the original game, but I don't like how it seems like they want to "change everything" with the sequel.

Played the first GuildWars for a including all the expansions for quite a few years and I still pick it up here and there just to mess with it. Really good game and probably some of the best pvp I've seen in any MMORPG. 
 
Seems they are taking player influence on the world to the nest step, very interesting. Before there was only an influence system through pvping where it changed which faction owned what parts on the map.
 
Really looking forward to this game, I have full trust that ArenaNet can make something great.

To all the naysayers....Guild Wars, from the beginning has been more about having a good single player experience with the option of letting the rest of the world see...to me this gives a great sense of security...and i think GW2 is looking to do what everyone loved about the first and then some.

STOP TELLING ME WHAT I SAY AND FEEL WHILE PLAYING YOUR GAME, DEVELOPERS.
 
GOD DAMN.

That's a big dragon.

If ArenaNet pulls off their lofty plans, then Guild Wars 2 might very well be the next BIG thing in MMOs. They might be about to rewrite the template for what a modern MMORPG does. This might be the future. It looks effin bright!
 
Stellar!

Video games.

Yeah.....i think the "MMO" part of this game has just about gone out the window.
  
The whole instance thing really is no fun and is sounds like they kicked into overdrive now.

NCSoft make the best trailers? 
 
I think so. 
Never got into the first game much really,missed opportunity to release it on consoles too. 
This does look stunning though.

The thing about the persistent world that is cool: a town gets attacked and if you can't defend it, when another group of players gets there, they will have to attack the enemies holding the town hostage. if they can do that, then the next group attempts to defend again. if the second group fails, it may then have a garrison of enemies. i am really excited to see if they can pull this off.

We wanted to defy existing conventions... so here is the stupid cutesy race that is 3 feet tall.

Enjoyed first game quite a lot. None of the expansions impressed me (ignored the last expansion completely). Some strong words here, excuse me if I'm skeptical, but I just don't think they can pull this off.

Arenanet are such cockteases!!!  I thoroughly loved the first Guild Wars, as it was a new and fresh look at the idea of MMOs.  Yeah, the instanced world sucked in some ways, but there were plenty of ways it DIDN'T suck.  I didn't have to worry about kill-stealing, I didn't have to worry about ganking.  I literally got to play the game.  There was little end-game in the base game, but Factions and Eye of the North were INCREDIBLE additions. 
 
Guild Wars 2, so far, has all the features I've been wanting in an MMO.  If they can do it with a little less instancing, then I'm set.

I would be extremely hype for this is NCSoft didn't have the absolute worst account security system in online gaming history. Let me know if 90% of people playing this game are hacked accounts turned Chinese bots too.

I really enjoyed GW1 and most of the expansions (Factions the least). I look forward to playing this.

Piqued my interest. I hear persistent world and I think, "okay, my actions are going to affect the world for everyone" so if I cull the centaur threat, the merchants will be safe for a while before the centaurs muster another attack. But then the concept of storyline and "the player feeling like a hero" send a SWTOR-flavored chill down my spine, "how can this be a persistent world for all the players when everyone has their own unique storyline for the same events?" 
  
If instances are involved, I'll probably avoid it :P

Funny ...
 ... because WoW already did all that with phasing 2 years ago. 
Also it's not hard to make the player affect the world when you don't have a single unified world to begin with, since GW is not strictly speaking a full on MMO 
Graphics are impressive tho. But so were Aion's and EQ2's at the time of release, a lot of things look good in trailers at certain angles, like always.
Also, promises are made by the truckload each time a new MMO comes out, but are rarely if ever kept to the full.

 This actually looks really damn good. 
 
Almost makes me wanna go mess around on GuildWars 1 some...

I've been following SWTOR since day 1 and so far this blows what they have shown for that game out of the water. Hopefully they can deliver and not make everything they talk about just an instance. 

gw2= going to be the best mmo EVER.....wow eat your heart out.

Looks pretty good, I didn't enjoy the first one though, so I'm cautiously optimistic.

I am the biggest Star Wars and Bioware fanboy that I know, but seriously FUCK the Old Republic. That's just  a fully voiced WoW in space. This, this is the future of MMO's, this is mind-blowing. The sequel to my favourite game of all time is coming and I just can't freaking wait!

Still getting a bit of what many saw from SC2, on this never coming out, maybe because they started announcing stuff earlier before the game is close to ready on coming out. Liked the first one a lot (necro & dervish esp.) so if those are in this game I'm in for the sequel. Hopefully it's not like the first in hitting the level cap 1/3 of the way in the game leaving the rest of the time to hunt down skills or cash for hideously overpriced gear (also dyes need to be on a vendor based pricing system for the AH, first game had player based economy so getting 1+ dyes could be impossible to afford for a while).

Looks Amazing. Cannot wait

Godly...just Godly

Even though Guild Wars was free to play it was way to instanced for me.  Half the fun of MMO's to me is being in a big open world with tons of players going about their business.

" Anyway, want to play this game. It's Free to Play, Right? "

" One thing though...  I understand what they say about all the grinding and stuff, but saying no one likes it is stupid, there's what a bazillion WoW players that would disagree with that statement.  One of that bad things about the first one was that you would attain the max level (20) and best gear in a couple of days (hell depending on the person even a matter of  hours), so in the end the only thing that would be driving you to keep playing would be the storyline, and, let's be frank here, it wasn't all that great...  the combat was nothing special either, click a monster and hit it till it's dead, repeat. IMO the game was too PvP centric, and I'm not into that, eventually I completely lost interest, because I didn't had more levels, abilities or any possible better gear to look forward to, I agree that some games get a little to much enthusiastic with all the grinding, but you can't just forget about it completely, there should be  a middle term, because in the end when you finally get that ability or gear you worked so hard for you get a real sense of accomplishment. "

If you love MMO, you need to checkout Guild War 2.
If you hate MMO, you really like to checkout Guild War 2.
 
LOL.
 
I swung a sword.... I swung a sword again, hey, hey, I swung it again, That's great!!!.
LOL
 
What a funny Trailer!
 
Anyway, want to play this game. It's Free to Play, Right?

so they're taking the final steps into making guild wars a single player experience?

this is the MMO I've been waiting for, the first was great fun, I have no doubt this one will be great as well

I felt my time was well spent watching this trailer.

wow, looks very interesting and impressive. Definitely looking forward to trying this game out !

Dude, that Dragon looks SICK! I've been waiting for this damn game for so many years now lol. Its great to see all this footage, I don't know what race I'll want to play as though.

Thats impressive but can they pull it off. Also best to avoid SWTOR.
