GW2 First beta weekend. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE

[Itazuki]

Videos of some real pvp / pve where you show how the game can actually be played, if the player actually knows what he does.

if you cant provide videos, then your honest opinion of the game.
Is it something one could call " good ", how finished does it feel? how is the balance?

been waiting for this game since it was first announced and i'm really excited for it

[TehVoyager]

Itazuki, video depends on the protection they have.
Photos i can edit. video im not so great with.

there's videos up already of the PVP environments already if you haven't seen them, and there voiced by Issiah Cartwright (Izzy) one of the devs that was involved pretty heavy in GW1.


the beta starts sometime tonight. dunno when i will have screens up, but when i do, the name of this thread will change to reflect that (if i can) if not, then i'll request its name changed and start posting.

again, in case i haven't said this enough lol, the safety of the account comes first.

i doubt there were any videos i hadn't seen (up till the current beta), kinda sucks that most of them were played by random Press members who really did not know what they were doing =/ (Backpedaling around & clicking skills are just some of the eyeburning blasphemies).

They are using quite heavy watermarks afaik, so study the pictures well
Will give you some sweet repcookies for pics & vids if / when you get them online.

I'll just have to use Photoshop's super magic remove anything like a Boss tool.

[garfieldfan]

I also have an invite, I will be trying to contribute to this also.

Edit: Just logged in and holy watermarks batman!

[TehVoyager]

Iknorite? getting anything out without comprimising account safty will be a bit of a challange.

TehVoyager and others that have access, thanks for any info you can give us, GW2 looks really cool and I can't wait to try it out.

My question would be, How is the Pve ? and the storyline/ questing ? Is it done well or does it feel like a sucky grind ?
I have always loved games that have a very good storyline that brings you into the game/story.
Thanks

What I've played so far I have enjoyed to be honest. I felt a little overpowered in the starting areas, but still died a couple times. the "you have fallen! fight to get back up!" mechanic is pretty fun, better than just "thump, u is dead"

the asura and silvari are not yet available.

female char look hilarious.

i got some screens, but I'm going to either have to compress them heavily to render the watermarking impossible to read, or work on them for a long ass time in Photoshop.
just about every square inch of the screen is COVERED in watermarking.

overall, I don't know if I'll switch from wow for it, but there is things I like about the game, and some that I don't.

playing it though, it FEELS like guild wars.

Meh, I don't really see what the point is in going through such effort and risk to leak a few screenshots.

There is already tons of screenshots, video, descriptions, interviews and general information about Guild Wars 2 out thanks to the Press Beta which they were allowed to release.

In 2 weeks time you can pre-order GW2 and get access to the beta which will probably be an open beta where you are allowed to take screenshots and what not.

I also wouldn't be surprised if there is an identifying watermark of some kind on your screenshots that you cannot see unless you perform a specific sequence of photo manipulation events that only Arenanet and NC know.

[TehVoyager]

Overall you are probably right. i diddnt realize the preorder beta access started in 2 weeks.

Did you happen to play SWTOR? If so, how would you compare the fun factor of GW2 compared to SWTOR out of the gate. I never got into WoW, so I can't really work with that association.

[TehVoyager]

Told you so

indeed, you did.

I think playing with a stick and an empty soup can would be more fun than SWTOR. but as i never played it, just watched videos of it and read reviews, i cant compare gw2 and swtor.
