Guild Wars 2 General Discussion
« on: September 24, 2011, 02:46:55 AM »
Im trying (unsuccessfully) not to be excited about this as my pc probably wont be able to handle it, and i was a rabid Guild Wars (all the expansions) player. However, for you lucky peeps who can, a short vid of '10 Reasons to be Interested in Guild Wars 2'.

Release date---Soon (as its pre-order in shops now).

Enjoy :)

I'm pretty stoked about this.

I loved the first Guild Wars but absolutely loathed the fact that you everything outside of major cities were your own personal instance of the map, unless you were in a party.

Thats the only reason why I stopped playing it and switched to WoW.  World PvP is awesome and guild wars has none of it, or any other type of random player interaction outside of cities.

http://www.guildwars2.com/en/ main website for GW2.

I found a FAQ page and found this for you Xtr3me:
"What are the system requirements for Guild Wars 2?

The system requirements haven't been finalized, but just as with the original Guild Wars series, we're committed to creating a beautiful game that will play great on mid-range gaming PCs.

I will most likely buy it. I have all the games, except I've only actually completed the first one. I should work on that!

So I'm currently in the process of doing a fresh -image download, as opposed to downloading files in-game between maps. I figured I may as well seeing as its being installed on a different laptop to what I used to play on, and I have all the expansions.

Internet became capped at about 850mb of downloading. Currently sitting on 1044mb which is 42%. Painfully slow but totally worth it, right?

My internet will be uncapped on the 7th.

Never played Guild Wars, but this really looks interesting. I will get it just to try it out, I also play WOW.  So, it should be pretty fun for me.

Correct. My ISP (vividwireless) doesn't have a peak system. It managed to complete the download anyway.

no set criteria but when it read my system, it had my intel graphics with 1gb dedicated instead of my nvidia card  ::)
so whether they think my laptop can even handle the game is what i meant lol
