    Guild Wars 2

    So how is TG gonna handle NCsoft's second MMO that will be coming out soon? Are we looking at dedicated guild, etc.?

    I am assuming time will tell, or when you guys get to it?

    Re: Guild Wars 2

    I loved the first Guildwars and the Factions campaign (Nightfall was dissapointing). I would certainly be picking this one up regardless of TG support

    Re: Guild Wars 2

    I don't really consider GW an MMO in spite of what the industry press things. If GW is an MMO then every game since Doom is an MMO.

    Regardless, I could never get into GW because of the utter lack of freedom. I'd like to jump of this bridge and surprise the enemy below, please. No? Why not? Invisible walls you say?

    Is GW2 following in the same frustrating footsteps?
    - Did that gunshot sound like a Voss or a Baur?
    - It sounded more like a Prada.

    No. It was frustrating I agree.... But then that wasn't the point of the game. What they set out to do, they did very well.

    Re: Guild Wars 2

    From the trailer I saw jumping and swimming. Looks like it really is becoming an "actual MMO" as Greyed called it. I hope I don't have to pay monthly, that's what made me love the first one.

    Re: Guild Wars 2

    FAQ says it'll be free.

    Kinda meh about the trailer. After NCSoft's pooching of Aion along with their "vision" video I'm really, really disenchanted with videos like this. Prerendered scenes with no actual video of gameplay, no UI, nothing to judge the state of the game, how it will play, anything. It's 99.9% fluff. The other 0.1% is the lore.
    - Did that gunshot sound like a Voss or a Baur?
    - It sounded more like a Prada.

    Re: Guild Wars 2

    I was under impresison that ArenaNet, not NCSoft, made Guild Wars? Either way if the game is free to play, that will still be a lot of content

    Somewhat correct. ArenaNet is a development arm of NCSoft. Much like Paragon Studios, the current stewards of City of Heroes, is a part of NCSoft and the Game Production Studio (Lineage 1, 2 and Aion) are a part of NCSoft.

    Basically I view current and future NCSoft games in the same light I view current and future SOE games. Individually some might have some merit but all carry with them the taint of a studio that excels at epic fail. Because of this it is hard to not associate past failures with future, unseen products.

    Re: Guild Wars 2

    I think GW2 will be fine personally but Anet is really screwed when it comes to skill updates etc, with the release of Nightfall then EOTN pve-only skills, the game pretty much died. Even if GW2 is as great as they say it will be, a lot of the player-base will be gone.
