Guild Wars 2

starting to sound like ncsoft dunno what's going on in their own company...

Well ... NCSoft is only publishing & marketing GW2 - they have no actual involvement in the production process. So they're very much dependent on what the devs give them in terms of feedback. So you can't really blame them for coming up with various scenarios to try and make predictions.

I'm sure they'd love to see GW2 hitting the shelves in September - or beginning Nov at the very latest. But ANet's probably been giving them the "When it's ready" spiel as well - and the only reason NC isn't pushing them on it is because they probably have a very good idea of the impact the game will have if it's done 100% properly.
 
well to be quite honest, i believe dev work is done on gw 2, they are now busy in a very lengthy polish process...
 
I dont know if dev work are done..... we havent seen anything related to PvP, WvWvW, very little about ingame mini-games, 5 professions only, they are redesigning the sylvari, so I think they have still alot of work tbd and then polishing.... the sections that they showcased with video footage and articles are the things they would say is 'ready'; anything else I believe is still far from done.
 
If I was a horse I would've chomped through the bit by now.

Bring it on already!!! 0.0

Gotta love this one comment on the post though: :D
Gah! Just announce the special edition already so I can pre-order it! You cruel, cruel people... I have money...! Dollars, Pecos, Yens, anything you want! I'll even barter! Just give me a pre-order date for the collector's edition!

Hell, I'll thrown in my sisters too for payment if it comes with beta access!
 
I think it's time to try marry into one of the developers families to get into that closed beta.
This sounds promising, the wait is almost over!
 
Article about Quality Assurance

These strike teams, who are assembled from several departments, focus on one specific aspect of the game: crafting, PvP, story, and other cool things that I can’t tell you about yet.

Why put in all this effort? Because we care. This is probably the most significant value of our QA department: we’re all invested in the success of Guild Wars 2, and not just financially. We truly want Guild Wars 2 to be the best game you’ve ever played. Even when we’re testing the “Pump House” event chain for the hundredth time, or scouring a map for texture seams again, there’s a pervasive attitude of optimism. We all care for the game personally, and it shows. Truthfully, when you spend as much time as we do in Guild Wars 2, it’s hard not to be excited!

More cool things? o.O

Then I will make a Norn Char, then a Sylvari, not sure about those stupid cats or sarcastic midgets...
Only time will tell...
 
I was kind of fixated on Sylvari Elementalist, but I'm considering Sylvari Ranger as an option as well ... they seem like a race particularly suited to the profession. I'll probably still go with Ele though. I heard the guys at ANet's been doing a redesign of the Sylvari, so I'm quite excited to see what they come up with - I'm laying bets though that Sylvari will be the last race revealed. Creating them is probably the biggest challenge, since in GW terms, they're a completely new race, and not established like the rest of them.

I'll probably give the other races a try at some point, but I've always had an attraction to the more mystical races.
