sure got delay la, but wont be that bad. based on my experience in the original guild wars, the delay is less than 1 second. and in crowded area about 1 sec. it's playable la. they have quality servers and connectivity.

btw i wan to buy the book oso
but sigh ,yea the shipping is almost same like the book at penny arcade online store , free shipping within US

Guild Wars 1st profession revealed!

Elementalist

and you can read about the combat here~

Woot!, thanks for the heads up!

so far GW2 previews look really great...
and i love the art direction...
as i've said before " GW2 could be the only game that would make me quit WoW "

potential wow killer?

shouldnt have watch the vids... now tempted to try...

i played gw1 but didnt last very long.. and it seems u can buy special armors for pvp in ncsoft stores...

thanks for the link.
the link in the email i got wun work.

reading now.
feedback soon.

well from a WoW player myself at high tier raiding, i would say so...
or maybe i find WoW boring now >.<

finished reading.
seems like got 10 slot for skills now.
lots of players have been whining for this for a long time.

but the first five skill slots is decided by what weapon the player is holding though.

that leaves only remaining 5 for player customization.
5 instead of 8.
bah.

Well previously some essential skills pretty much take 2-3 slots of the total 8 slots.

lol now that you mentioned it.
res signet.

7 slots more.

You're looking at it wrong.

The 5 slots tied to a weapon probably mean that those skills are tied to a weapon... But you can still customize those skills.

Reading through their posts in the forum and interviews, they justify it quite well.

Also, no more secondary profession... They'll use the races instead to provide secondary abilities.

I'm really looking forward to this game... I played the first one a bit late and didn't have much of a group. That cannot be repeated for the 2nd one.

^Likewise, its on my definite buylist. See you all then?

5 slots tied to a weapon type. So we can customize the 5 weapon slots too?

10 slots : 5 for weapon, 1 for healing, 1 for elite, another 3 normal skill.

Can't say it's bad. At least now it's more flexible.

It's very exciting....

Hmm... Cross Profession Combo... Now that sounds really interesting.

Elemetalist : Fire Wall !!
Warrior : Cyclone Axe !!

Together : Ba-ning-gu Sai-klon A-ta-ku (Burning Cyclone Attack) !!!

This part really has some Super Robot War flavour.

A bit sad that they took out the secondary profession which make your personal skill setup somewhat restricted but then again... this also make GW1 unique game on it's own since both are utilizing totally different battle system.

eh, if skills tied to weapons, how to customizes oh? besides altering attribute scores etc.

so are we gonna form a local guild to play together in preparation for the release?

The skills tied to your weapon just means that your weapon will occupy 5 slots of its own. For that 5 slots, you can customize which weapon skills to use.

So, unlike before where each skill was tied to an attribute, you'll probably have some that are still like that, and some that are tied to a weapon as well.

oooh.

okies.
well i think we will know better once they roll out beta for us to test.



hmmm i wanna be soldier profession!
heavy armor ftw!



so anyone pre-recruiting / forming a local guild for guild wars 2?
or most ppl will just follow their old guilds?

deng, my old guild is deserted, not much active people.
i was guild leader (passed down by my bro) and i end up buying all the furniture for my guild.

Noob question, you need to buy GW1 in order to play GW2? or GW2 totally a new standalone game?

After quitting WoW, still try to find a new MMO to fill in, new Final Fantasy looks good but long way to go, this one, estimation release date?

someone talk me out of buying Guild Wars Trilogy on steam now

is the latency a killer?
