Guild Wars 2 - General Discussion Thread

Well a trailer has finally been released, the start is mostly concept art in motion but it does eventually show you the game engine running:

www.guildwars2.com

Check it out.
I know theres a few GW fans lurking around here so what are your thoughts guys?

Personally I'm a bit disappointed with the graphics I sort of expected better... as is it only looks marginally better than Guild Wars did (which is not to say its bad) but yeah it looks pretty samey. One thing that looks fantastic are the level designs, some amazing looking stuff there, they've really gone to town on the concept art and brought it to life.

I'm worried about this game... I hope its a return to form. I miss how brilliant Prophecies was.
I still haven't pre-purchased and the first BWE was announced this week. zzzzzzzzzzzzz
So how many people have pre ordered this? And how many are going to be playing during the beta weekend next week? So long as the servers dont crash from ridonculous numbers ^_^

=( im in Malta at the moment so its telling me Euro 54.99 for the digital edition and Euro 74.99 for the digital deluxe edition you need to screenie for me.
So with the beta coming up this weekend, is it worth getting the digital deluxe edition?

The only real benefits i can see for myself is the:

Summon Mistfire Wolf Elite Skill
Miniature Rytlock

I'm too much of a noob for everything else to matter, but it looks like these 2 might stay for the entire duration of the game. So with that said, would having these 2 be beneficial or not [Shifty]

Oh btw in case you didnt see doyl's post

How do you get beta access if you but it in a store?
Did the shop give you a code?

I pre-purchased online and registed then and there.
Paid $60
I think you need to check if the store does pre-purchase and pre-order

"Physical Pre-Purchase for Guild Wars 2 is only available at select retailers. The details of how this will work will differ slightly depending on which edition customers purchase and where they purchase it."



That is off the guild wars website, basically whoever you bought it off, you have to ask them if they have pre-purchase and you get a key or code off them


EDIT : https://buy.guildwars2.com/retailers

It seems EBgames and QVS are the only retailers that can give out beta access if you bought physical copy
Just got the CE from EB Games. It kicked me right in the moneysack. [Derp]
I just bought it online from the US site. That's enough for me~
I'm still tossing up between this and The Secret World.

Might just get GW2 and play that until Secret World comes out.
Hard to say which will be better before either come out but the secret world looks really average :S especially when compared to guild wars 2.
I'm going to be playing both.

But yeah, compared to The Secret World, GW2 looks amazing. I'm really just going to be playing TSW for the story/friends.
I haven't seen The Secret World.. but GW2 is absolutely amazing. ^_^
GW2 Will definitely be better no doubt but TSW intrigues me a lot more. Especially when it has no conventional levelling system.
Very talented people behind Guild Wars. Was founded by a lot of people who worked on Diablo II from memory, but they have made a much better game. I'm not sure if Guild Wars 2 will live up to Guild Wars 1, but if it so much as equals it, it will be an amazing game.
This one pay to play? Or a one-off fee?
