And from what I've seen they will be able to recreate it.

Tank - Warrior (MAYBE Guardian)
Heal - Water Ele / Guardian (MAYBE NECRO)
DPS - Thief / Fire Ele (MAYBE Necro)

Well, there's something to be said for that, but keep in mind that no matter what game you play, the dude with the armour is going to be responsible for containing the aggro in one place so the other's can nuke the hell out of it.

But besides that, every class has healing skills. Even the Warrior and Guardian. Ele's will be able to switch their affinities on the fly, so they can combine DPS and healing - I'm very sure the Necro is going to have some healing abilities as well. From what I see the Thief is also going to have a healing spec. And you forgot the ranger - DPS possibilities there if I've ever seen them.

I'm thinking people are going to go with what's comfy for them in the beginning, so I don't expect to see Ele's taking up all the aggro, but I DO expect to see them in the thick of things. The Guardian at this point looks very much like a support class - it's almost like a chanter/sorc combo in Aion in terms of buffs and crowd control.

I don't think we need to set things in stone just yet; Guildwars 2 is likely to bring a lot of unique implementations and combinations to the gameplay in general, much the same way that Guildwars itself did. I've tanked with both a Monk and Elementalist in Guildwars - I've used my Dervish and Ritualist to be main healers for a group as well. The possibilities are really endless.

Besides which, if you see too many bastards being elitist pricks (every game has them, so it's guaranteed) - hang with mates who you know like experimenting and don't mind a group wiping from time to time - all in the spirit of exploration and stuff like that. That's my MO anyways.
 
I have no doubt that Guild Wars 2 will be making great waves in the MMO market and genre.

My only concern is people who will still be thinking of playing Guild Wars 2 like any old MMO by recreating the "holy" trinity and that they will once again try to control the game, PvE, PvP, WvWvW, etc. by deciding which professions are to e used and what skills/weapons you need to use, etc.

But I will try to post this question to the devs and get some feedback etc.

And as soon as I have my copy of Guild Wars 2 in hand I will be making a Guild, Jar of [BEES]... So if you wish to join, opt in!

Oh, I see now. Skipped by me.

I'll most likely be resurrecting my Aion legion Stellar Illusions (spiritual successor to [TQK]) as a guild in GW2 - since a bunch of my friends from Aion and GW together are likely to join us :)
 
Is it april 28th yet?
So far that's my best bet for a new reveal :?

note the bolded part!
 
Wow lol nice, so 3D Vision has it already setup on excellent rating.... for a game that is not ready drivers are already ready for the game. Beta time, like on 28th April ? /excited! No way I will get into a closed beta though :'(
 
I doubt the Beta will be announced in April. We're still waiting for two proffessions to be announced - and then there's still PvP and tons of other stuff ANet needs to implement - like I said - I saw way too many "We're still thinking about that" type answers in their last interview.

And they won't do beta until the game is pretty much at RC stage, I'm thinking.
 
i just find that funny...

i mean the game is nowhere near release (as we are being lead to believe) and here's nvidia tuning it's ready for 3d vision...

It's entirely possible that ArenaNet has already released the details of the graphics engine to them. That's one of the first things that had to be completed to get the game up and running after all - and better to have it done beforehand than have NVidia scrambling around afterwards trying to get the tuning done.
 
unless they are being crafty bastards by releasing tid bits of info, hints and the like, like this.

leading us on and only the most astute will notice?

/ponders...
 
Haha :P

They did have 3D demos at PAX East too, so Anerfnet did possibly ask Nvidia to tune their drivers so their game can look the best possible 3D for the demo....
