Guild Wars 2 V2: GOTY 2017 or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Arenanet - Games

So lets play a guessing game! (already know what they look like with the textures on)

If anything, those images are probably references for stuff like skies and lighting.

Since today every MMO almost involves micro-transactions, I assume GW2 has none?

Of course it has

[QUOTE=MoarFunz;36605340]Since today every MMO almost involves micro-transactions, I assume GW2 has none?[/QUOTE] It has a shop for cosmetic items, dye packs, things like XP boosts, and keys for mystic chests (think TF2. Except you can get keys from the chests too, and in game, so you don't need to buy any). You buy stuff from the shop with gems, which you can (very easily I might add) buy with in game gold. And nothing affects gameplay in WvW or PvP, to keep things fair.

It does, but it's a lot less noticeable.

[QUOTE=Floreum;36605709]The texture indicates stone dwarf. ;)[/QUOTE] Yeah, [sp]since pretty much every non-stone summit dwarf took the Rite of the Great Dwarf in GW:EN, and turned into stone. Having dwarf that is not stone dwarf in gw2 would not make much sense, since the stone summits were xenophobic and most likely pretty rare by the time of gw2.[/sp]

Damn somebody know's his lore! Although what about rogue dwarfs? :p

Alright, finally preordered. Now I gotta do some HoM stuff to get my rewards.

[QUOTE=Bullet100;36606289]Damn somebody know's his lore! Although what about rogue dwarfs? :p[/QUOTE] There werent really any rogue dwarfs, any that weren't allied to King Ironhammer was a part of the Stone summit.

[QUOTE=Chaos Creator;36607176]There werent really any rogue dwarfs, any that weren't allied to King Ironhammer was a part of the Stone summit.[/QUOTE] There might have been couple ones, namely[sp]those three ones that are in Winds of Change, in the tunnels in that one quest (can't remember its name, sorry). The winds of change happens after GW:EN in the timeline, and since slavers exile has been purged and Duncan The Black is dead, Stone summit has no leader. Those three that are at cantha are still unaffected and quite free to do as they please, even though Stone Summit doesn't have leader anymore, as far as we know. There are also those Stone Summits that did not follow Duncan to Slavers exile after fall of sorrows furnace, they [B]could[/B] be considered rogue dwarfs. They would be scattered somewhere underground.[/sp] Still, no major faction, just scattered individuals.

You never know there could be a huge civilization built after those 250 years underground! We can only hope.

expansion material right there folks

dammit now i gotta finish winds of change along with war in kryta

WoC and WiK aren't that important in my opinion...Not to mention how hard they are!

[B]Blog post[/B] [B]The Golden Rules of Guild Wars 2[/B] [url]http://www.arena.net/blog/the-golden-rules-of-guild-wars-2[/url] Hard to describe what its about. Mostly a nice read if your curious about the game, it also shows what the developers expect of the players (by playstyle and conduct (I don't mean rules)).

I'm just going to remove this.

[QUOTE=Bullet100;36615835]Holy shit I've found some crazy shit in this .dat file... Will post results later. [editline]4th July 2012[/editline] Here have a teaser: [t]http://i.imgur.com/IaOay.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] Isn't that the dragon from the trailer?

mhmm!

Yeah, that seems like a massive spoiler. There is going to be a ice dragon!

-snip-

[QUOTE=Bullet100;36616443]No I mean like is it against the Terms & Conditions or whatever?[/QUOTE] Arenanet made us remove all items level 35+ from the database over on Guru so I'd imagine they aren't too happy with people spilling it out for everybody. At least stick it behind a spoiler tag or a link or something.

and then bullet100 was banned from playing gw2 forever

[QUOTE=Bullet100;36616165]mhmm! [editline]4th July 2012[/editline] oh my... [t]http://i.imgur.com/LfbZn.png[/t] [/QUOTE] That would be the Icy dragon sword (with a new hilt). [img]http://wiki.guildwars.com/images/9/91/Icy_Dragon_Sword.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=daijitsu;36617160]and then bullet100 was banned from playing gw2 forever[/QUOTE] :(

Hope my new laptop runs GW2. Otherwise I will have to bring my [url=http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=4]giant of a computer[/url] into a dorm at college.
