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

[QUOTE=Grasp;34226276]Choose all of them.[/QUOTE] As I have suggested before, make a character for every class, and just play them as you go. I think 4-6 character slots will be available. Just a guess though.

[QUOTE=Newbienice99;34227777]As I have suggested before, make a character for every class, and just play them as you go. I think 4-6 character slots will be available. Just a guess though.[/QUOTE] Originally in Guild Wars, you started out with 4 character slots, but then again there were 6 professions. I think that since there's 8 this time around you'll have 6 slots to start with.

Or, 5, just to show everybody wrong.

Or just 10 so everyone has their fun, I can't see a reason in limiting it lower than 8 anyway.

It's already been confirmed as 5 at the moment, one for each race.

[QUOTE=DuncanFrost;34229242]It's already been confirmed as 5 at the moment, one for each race.[/QUOTE] Oh, I read that it's currently unknown. Where did you see that?

I want one of each race, so yay!! Also I was kinda hoping they'd give you more for having played guild wars 1.. kinda like how whenever you got an expansion they added slots. Ah well, I'll always buy another if I need to and they're not too expensive.

[QUOTE=Jessey;34229205]Or just 10 so everyone has their fun, I can't see a reason in limiting it lower than 8 anyway.[/QUOTE] I dunno so maybe they can sell some character slots for a game that's totally free otherwise

[QUOTE=lum1naire;34236906]I dunno so maybe they can sell some character slots for a game that's totally free otherwise[/QUOTE] You still have to buy the game itself which will probably be around $40-$60. Though I do agree and I'll probably buy enough slots to have a character for each profession.

Getting this on release date. I want it now! >:(

Btw op, can u add me to the list of people getting it on release date? And are we making our own fp guild when we can? -tiny snip-

[QUOTE=eternalflamez;34239519]Btw op, can u add me to the list of people getting it on release date? And are we making our own fp guild when we can? Rip automerge[/QUOTE] I don't think automerge works after two hours. Regardless, 5 character slots would be perfect for what I have planned.

[QUOTE=Miskav;34239702]I don't think automerge works after two hours. Regardless, 5 character slots would be perfect for what I have planned.[/QUOTE] Same. I only have plans for one character of each race.

Unconfirmed, but I feel this is necessary to post: [url]http://galaxynextdoor.com/post/15987803491/guild-wars-2-open-beta-in-the-works#.TxTzJjFpC0s.reddit[/url]

Don't be mistaken though, this could easily mean it's still at least 3 months away from OB.

Some sexy new weapon art here: [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/C7ATs.jpg[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://imgur.com/zyb13.jpg[/img_thumb]

I don't care what anyone says, I want that bow with the blades on it. Christ I can think of some nice routines to do with that.

For some reason all the weapons in the top picture remind me of chainsaws or industrial tools. Maybe because of the color scheme and serrated blades.

[QUOTE=markfu;34258893]For some reason all the weapons in the top picture remind me of chainsaws or industrial tools. Maybe because of the color scheme and serrated blades.[/QUOTE] And the gears and bolts.

I like the shields alot. Specifically the top one. [editline]17th January 2012[/editline] The great thing about the weapon design and armor design is that you won't have to go through 50 raids/dungeons to get that cool weapon or piece of armor. You'd just have to do a dungeon once or twice and you can trade the tokens in for weapons.

Are there any good pvp battlegrounds (30v30 and so on) and raids in GW2?

There are matches that are similar to drop-in/drop-out multiplayer styles found in most fps games, not sure what the player limit is on those. Then there is world v. world and that's at least 250 v. 250. From what I know there aren't any raids for more than 5 people, but dynamic events scaled for 20 or 30 people would probably do in a pinch.

[QUOTE=markfu;34265674]There are matches that are similar to drop-in/drop-out multiplayer styles found in most fps games, not sure what the player limit is on those.[/quote] 10 player limit iirc, 5v5. The hotjoin ones can scale down to 1v1 if you want though. [quote]Then there is world v. world and that's at least 250 v. 250.[/quote] Current quote is 650 per map, so about 2000 people limit. [quote]From what I know there aren't any raids for more than 5 people, but dynamic events scaled for 20 or 30 people would probably do in a pinch.[/QUOTE] The big dynamic events (e.g. the shatterer) scale up to 100 people, most normal ones go up to roughly 10. That might change before release though.

Huh, I remember seeing a screenshot of a lobby style menu with a 10 v 10 battle going on. I'll see if I can dig it up. [editline]18th January 2012[/editline] [img]http://www.guildwars2.com/global/includes/images/screenshots/pvp/gw2-pvp-001.jpg[/img] It might be because its a different game mode than the 10 v. 10 ones but I'm not completely sure.

There's a more free pvp where you can set the rules isn't there

[QUOTE=Onirik;34273516]There's a more free pvp where you can set the rules isn't there[/QUOTE] Yeah, there's structured PvP which is strict 5v5 servers and tournaments and then there are more casual hotjoin games with variable player counts. Players can set up and run their own servers and tournaments too.

This game will consume my life when it's out, and i'm totally fine with that because it's worth it! i hope they do decide to do some form of subscription or something as an option as i'd gladly love to contribute towards this game it's the only mmo in a long time that i've seen that i'd consider worth paying a sub for.
