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.
-
looks very interesting, have they set the minimum system requirements for the game yet?
-
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."
-
thanks mig, hopefully either this laptop or the new tower my mum is thinking of buying is considered mid range ;p
-
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.
-
bought the guild wars trilogy and the expantion :)
just waiting on delivery
im gonna have so much fun leading up to the guild wars 2 release date :siderofl:
My internet will be uncapped on the 7th.
got no off peak usage?
-
got no off peak usage?
Correct. My ISP (vividwireless) doesn't have a peak system. It managed to complete the download anyway.
-
Guild Wars 2 Beta Trial sign ups are now available!!!!
Already sent my comp specs in though i am not very confident i will get accepted :)
-
I'm sending mine in tonight, why aren't you confident you'll get accepted? What's the criteria?
-
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
-
Its going to be on 360. This is bad news.

for 360?
and the sign ups for the beta will only be up for 48 hours (forgot to mention that) so if you plan on doing it, better sooner than later ;D
-
I signed up, it recognised all of my memory ;D
-
well, guild wars 2 can be pre-purchased from April 10, which guarantees you a place in the beta events as well as a 3 day head start when the game is released.
Prices are on their site though being in Australia im likely to pay and extra $20ish.
And they have set some minimum system requirements though they are subject to change
* Windows® XP Service Pack 2 or better
* Intel® Core™ 2 Duo 2.0 GHz, Core i3, AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 or better
* 2 GB RAM
* NVIDIA® GeForce® 7800, ATI Radeon™ X1800, Intel HD 3000 or better (256MB of video RAM and shader model 3.0 or better)
* 25 GB available HDD space
* Broadband Internet connection
* Keyboard and mouse
at the moment nothing my laptop can't handle so I am definitely buying a copy ;D
more info can be found on their site including what comes with the collector's edition.

Got accepted to the Open Beta Weekend!!!!

-
They have finally set the release date for guild wars 2!!!
It comes out on the 28th of August but if you prepurchased it, you get a 3 day head start!!

don't like when games do that :cop:
giving some a head start for pre ordering isn't right or anything for that matter
these days u pre order a game u get bonus weapons or maps ect then a map pack or something else comes out which cost's u more money
company's these days focus to much on the money aspect and not enough on the games they make
what ever happened to buying a game and it was the full game every 1 had the same items to work with same maps ect
now games come in pieces some Assembly Required.... lol
-
The last Beta Weekend for Guild Wars 2 has come and gone :'(,
anyone else here played in any of the betas?
Now is the one month wait before the official release, I guess I can do something crazy like studying to keep me occupied (or just play more Halo ;D),
Who here is actually going to get this game (or already ordered it?)
-
I was thinking about it.
-
I'll probably buy it, but probably wont play it very much. Casual gaming is nice when you dont pay subscription fees. :clint:
-
Guild Wars 2 3 Day Head Start started about 3 hours ago.
I was just wondering if anyone else had access to it?
-
Played it for a bit last night, created an Asura. I got really confused really quickly :-\
Oh well, see how I go tonight ::)
-
Methinks I'll buy it and DL it tonight. I'm looking for a good MMORPG for when I'm on the road, and WoW is sooooooo old to me.
-
Started playing day of general release----and cant stop :LOL:
-
i've been playing it all day... I plan on playing it a lot more too... Good thing I already had no life before playing. :LOL:
