Guild Wars 2

[Shrike]

First Diablo 3 release: The Barbarian (R550)
Second Diablo 3 release (3 months later): The Sorceress (R550)
Third Diablo 3 release (6 months later): The Necromancer (R570)
Fourth Diablo 4 release (?): The Blizzard Profiteer (Rx)

You get the picture. No one knows the details but I am sure everyone suspects something like this to be the case, based on the slicing up of the SC2 release.

Me: Will buy the battlechest version in 2 years time.

Sorry I was interested in Diablo 3 way back when it was announced, but since then lots have happened.

FailCraft 2 part 1 was released and KAKtivision & Blizzard have become one. I used to love Blizzard games, but I have only hatred for them now. So I won't be getting the game.

On my radar right now is Skyrim and Guild Wars 2.

Well here is the Guild Wars 2 Panel that was held yesterday - Guild Wars 2 Panel

so sounds like the Sylvari reveal is the big gamescom announcement

Nope ... they'll be playable at Gamescom and the Sylvari reveal takes place the week before. So I doubt that will be the big announcement. Of course, the Asura still need to be revealed as well ... and there is the mystery Profession we are all rather anxiously waiting for.

 

[Sou1Co11ector]

Mystery profession aka The Mesmer.

Can't wait for the Sylvari reveal xD.

Also after watching the Guild Wars 2 panel at comic con I can't wait to try out WvWvW... A two week long battle between 3 servers = EPICNESS

Well ... the article Tank linked to did say that the final profession reveal would be very controversial - so you guys had better prep yourself for the Mesmer possibly not making an appearance. Just saying

 

[Sou1Co11ector]

It will be a Mesmer, but probably quite different than how it was in Guild Wars.

The Mesmer won't be dropped since it is a unique profession and no other game has an equivalent profession to the Mesmer.

true the changes might be massive

My money's on mesmer (although i'd prefer something different. wasn't a big mesmer fan)

 

[Tank]

the mesmer if played right is such a effective and devastating class it's not even funny.

blackout, power drain, crippling anguish, panic, tease. all these skills when used right are so powerful it's not even funny

mesmers don't seem like they do much but oh boy they do

i hope they are in GW 2

 

[ChameleonDevil]

i hope they are in GW 2

If they arent, I will just ask Queen Jennah to buff me with Mesmerisim..... still dont get why would they possibly want to make it so that only one person has the most powerfull magic; and exactly how did everyone lose the magic, and exactly why was it banned (if so)... etc etc.

I wants Mesmerism ffs

I'm still surprised this game isn't going to subscriber-based accounts. It certainly doesn't lack the quality to compete. This pleases me.

Not surprised at all, Arenanet is just showing with their model (the original Guild Wars as well) that they can be successful. Thats why I would refuse (and always have) to pay & play ANY MMOs that is subscription based; Blizzard is just milking their money making machine 10000x (and its disciples). Well I am not one of them, wasnt ever.

WOW has persistant worlds vs GW instanced areas, while people always argue that its better; however Raids / Random item rolling / grinding... its not worth subs for me.

Then I also laugh at people that refuse to play GW because its instanced (no other reasons), and play on 'private WOW servers' with ~50-100 ppl on it. Meet alot of people in there ?? .. still they say 'but the world is persistant' ... ROFL

 

[Sou1Co11ector]

Yeah true.

I don't think I know anyone anymore that plays WOW on the official servers, just private servers.
Why do they do that when the game is so "awesome"? Because they can play it for free - cheap bastards.

I like Guild Wars and the instanced areas, mostly because in WOW I just got killed by random assholes and had my quest kills stolen. So it took hours to complete some stupid collect X of Y quests.

And paying (MONTHLY) for a game to waste my time, is not worth it for me.

 

[Sou1Co11ector]

Well here is some info regarding Guild Wars 2 at Gamescom in Cologne Germany this year - http://www.arena.net/blog/get-ready-for-gamescom.

All I can say it that OMG OMG I WANT TO GO TO GAMESCOM NAAAUW!!!

Sylvari and Asura playable.
Charr starter experience.
Mid level content.
Character Customization.
PvP for the first time.

And remember Sylvari week coming this month.

 

[ChameleonDevil]

Awesome, some nice reveals coming !!

 

[Tank]

nicely done

 

[shadowfox]

If the Asura are going to be playable at Gamescom - they should do their reveal before as well. Probably won't, but it would be nice.

 

[Shrike]

The only reveal I am waiting for that will make any difference in my life is.... the release date.
