    If you guys are going to get together for some GW1 action you can add me. My main is Gwendolyn Vae. Just message me on steam and we can get something going.

    Also, I have been gone most of the weekend but I'm catching up on watching the videos now and I'm very impressed. Guild Wars 2 is my most anticipated release in the foreseeable future.

    I made a Steam Group for us so we can easily find each other (and our friends), get game help, or arrange times for all of us to play together:

    Direct feed of the boss fight. A lot of up close footage to get a feeling of how small you are compared to it.

    She's still hot :p

    I can't wait to join in with one of these boss fights. Can't wait to see how big the elder dragons are either! The books depicted them as absolutely huge. At the end of the second book they describe the wing spans of one of the elder dragons to reach from horizon to horizon. Probably an exaggeration for dramatic effect, but compared to these smaller dragons...

    Looks like someone went off the demo path while playing Asura...

    This game looks amazing, I can't wait. Hopefully it will turn out as good as it looks. I like how the quests aren't just static quests, but are all mostly dynamic chain quests that encourage working with others.

    Going to start playing a little bit of GW1 for the first time to see if it's any fun.

    It's certainly ambitious. But that doesn't always work out - just look at Age of Conan. Hopefully ArenaNet have the cash to continue development until it's polished enough to work, unlike Funcom.

    Nice that you can join multiple guilds. My friends always make one, and I've been a part of a pretty big one for a few years now, so will be nice to be able to join them both!

    Now this is interesting!

    http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/08/30/guild-wars-2-has-player-made-pvp-servers/

    They're going to let people host their own PvP servers and set their own rules. If any Aussies get on this and I don't have to deal with the prohibitively high ping that usually stops me from playing PvP, I might actually be compelled to try it out. Gotta wonder if this will carry your persistent characters across or if you'll just create temporary ones or something... hoping for the former.

    Jesus, is there anything that this game is not going to do? All sounds really amazing, too good to be true; I am worried that the game will be trying to do so many things at once it will all end up watered down in some way.

    They're going to have support for switching servers. What I think will end up happening is that all your character information will be stored on their servers and then when you switch a server or play on private pvp servers it calls for your characters.

    Don't get too excited. People are taking what he said and assuming a lot of things along with it. He probably just meant that a player can create a custom PvP match/instance, not actually host a server locally. If you watch the PAX Prime panel videos, he uses the term "server" very loosely.

    I thought I'd post my current Hall of Monuments progress for all of you to gloat over or whatever. Includes to be completed soonish progress in red. Let me know if you want to help out or run around Tyria together!

    Ren.182 and Quixoticism have been most helpful so far. :D

    Everytime you post in here I think there is a release date announcement. Especially when I glance at something, that for a split second, looks like a date-

    They haven't said anything about ffa. It won't be in the world vs world at all but there's a small chance that they might include an ffa option for the 2-10 player conquest maps.
    I wouldn't count on it though.

    The Mesmer looks gorgeous and I can't wait to see the rest of the reveal tomorrow!

    While you're at it then try and work some magic for me too! ;)
    Just believe!

    I do hope to get in the beta at some point because I don't know yet if I want my main human soldier to be a warrior or a guardian. :S I'm leaning towards the warrior but I want to find out how they both play!
