Discussion is kind of hap-hazard at the moment and all over the place, so let's keep it to one thread :)

-----

Rumour has it that the Guild Wars 2 trailer will be released in a few days time at some gaming convention.

This is one rumour I REALLY hope is true. And I seriously hope the trailer is CGI like the Prophecies and Factions trailers were.

Would be nice to get some screenies and info along with the trailer so as to have an insight as to how it will look in-game.

I'm looking forward to GW2 :), is there an official release date yet?

No there isn't.

The developers have stated, however, that they are ready to unveil it "very soon." They're most likely keeping mum so as not to steal Aion's thunder.
 
Man it's been so long since any news surfaced on GW2 that any little bits of information would be great. I can't wait for the beta already. :(

Hmmm, I'm not sure they'll show anything yet...

I havent finished any of the GW1 games yet! :o

But I own:
2 copies of Prophecies
4 copies of Factions
3 copies of Nightfalls
3 copies of Eye of the north

:cool:
 
Yep, like I said in the other thread... lots of specualtion around announcements.

Players are hungry for some news.

Gamescon is at the end of August and PAX 4-6 September. Most guys hopes are on PAX for some GW2 news.
 
I'll die if I have to wait til 2011 for the release - that's the rumoured release date atm. I'm for one hoping that it's a complete lie - GW is starting to lose players. That's how it's feeling to me anyways.

If they can at least have the beta running by the first half of next year I think it will help. All I'm really doing is title hunting at the moment, but that's only going to carry me so far.
 
I just wish / hope GW2 had more meaningful progression (and yes I understand why GW is the way it is). Otherwise I may get real bored with it. GW certainly does not adhere to MMORPG systems so much so that I see it more as a MMO-lite with some RPG elements.

But I do understand that GW is trying to do something different, so perhaps I retract my previous statement somewhat. Not everything has to be like the standard, and for good reasons, it is just too bad I like the standard >_<
 
Well, I for one like the instancing and in GW2 they will have a combination of both, some instanced areas and others not.

They have tried a very simple concept with GW1, which was simply revolutionary and the game has been massively successful with it.
And this is the one BIG Plus and ONE of the MAIN reasons I have stuck with GW1 is because it is free-to-play. This is HUGE for me. Especially for what you get in return. There is simply no comparison.

Yeah I would have to agree generally.

I can put up with instancing, but GW is just too heavy with it. I know it can be a chore farming or whatever in other games competing with others. It just feels like a more real dynamic world because of bumping into people.

For me I like a sense of 'real' progression in my RPG's. I know this is totally relative, but I like the gear upgrades, the leveling up and the like. All that GW really has once you can access to all the skills / max gear for builds, is pretty much a fashion upgrade. Getting access to the gear and skills does not take very long as well. You can also get titles, but man I do not get the point for so much effort required for some just to have a title name on my characters.

Again I stress, I get what this game is trying to achieve. So once again I retract most of what I say for the sake of people that love how it is. ;)

I remain just curious about GW2. :D
 
UPDATE!

Apparently IGN have some info to reveal soon.

Info:
Hey all, Last week I promised you’d get your first glimpse of Guild Wars 2 “very soon now”. That day is almost here.
 I want to thank all our fans for their patience as we developed the game to the point where we can start talking about it publically. I know you’ve all been anxiously awaiting this moment. You’ll soon understand how ambitious we’ve been and what we’ve accomplished during these past two years of development. We still have a lot of work ahead of us, but from here on out we’ll be able to provide you with more regular updates.
 Guild Wars 2 is going to be a huge leap beyond the original. We have the best team in the industry executing at the top of their game, and I’m very proud of what our team has accomplished so far. As I said last week, I’m confident that when you get your first look at what we’ve been working on, you’re going to love what you see. Stay tuned for an exciting week ahead.

----

And lastly, anyone think it's veeeery interesting they're doing this in BlizzCon week? :p Trying to steal WoW's thunder maybe? We've apparently been promised a trailer.
