I'm astounded that ArenaNet (and NCSoft too) has fallen completely out of the limelight. Seriously, when was the last time that they had concrete information about GW2, 2006?

Neo Nugget · Oct 21, 2008, 10:15 PM // 22:15

I thought I heard somewhere that they were filling in what happens in between GW 1 and 2 with books or something. I'll try to dig it up.
Gamewise, I don't think so. Nothing big at least.

Edit: Must be going crazy, I can't find it.

I think after the fans got pissed off about that unlimited levels things and being generally depressed about Anet's ability to get GW2 right they have pretty much shut up.

Your not going crazy

It was announced in that video on the press conference that was linked here.

The last information that has anything to do with GW2, which is extremely little, was teh Q&A video from the PAX thing that's on the guildwars.com.

Other than that, there has been nothing.

I think it's due to people QQ'ing about things, so they don't want any more annoyances, as winterclaw said.

I think it's a good move to keep quiet until they have a good amount of info to release.

i think if people see something that turns them off enough before the game comes out they wont buy it. and i'm sure, whether they say it or not, they are counting on early sales to people that end up not liking it and quit playing for one reason or another.

I for one will play it no matter what, because i have a relative (jesse christensen, enviorn artist) that works for a-net, and i like playing, so why not support it.

GW2 is a figure of your imagination, it doesn't exist, move along.....

Any chance you coulf get him to go to ANet and jack us sum infos?

I'm sure a lot of us are pretty amazed about getting no information about gw2. Even if it wasn't something great but they should at least throw something out there. To keep our spirits up at least lol. Guess were just ganna have to wait it out.

Mister_Smiley · Oct 21, 2008, 11:43 PM // 23:43

Aion come out the end of this month, alot hype about it, they don't want to take away from it, so no news on gw2 won't hurt it, of course this is what i am thinking. Mabey end of the year or something.

Edit: I am wrong, the date for AION is still TBA.

Adamp · Oct 21, 2008, 11:52 PM // 23:52

I think with all of these delays, they're just trying to work on it really hard, so they have something significant to show us so we won't get mad when they show us what they have.

I think it was a good and a bad thing they delayed the beta to before release. Good, since there won't be too many glitches with beta and almost everything is complete, but bad since almost everything is set into stone and most of the suggestions that we make won't be accounted for.

That's just my theory on the the GW2 news.

Hey, guys, in GW, we have title reworks next month.

Who needs GW2, rite?

If they only made new content...

Don't think many people really care about a title rebalance. Even more when Linsey isn't even sure that it's possible to make Treasure Hunter and Wisdom account based.

i want to play a game not read a RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing book, RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO you anet

fenix · Oct 22, 2008, 12:18 AM // 00:18

I find it strange that they announced GW2 like, a year ago or something, and since then there hasn't even been CONCEPT art, let alone any solid information. Are they actually making a game? Because I would assume not.

.defekt · Oct 22, 2008, 12:22 AM // 00:22

I dont know fenix, apparently they're making books, maybe they'll be like those Goosebumps choose your own adventure books

Operative 14 · Oct 22, 2008, 12:39 AM // 00:39

Let's not forget we found out that GW2 has a 'robust' crafting system from that German article that came out three or so months ago.

Other than that, not any new information pertaining to GW2. Though the books are interesting, but there is even less information about them.

fenix · Oct 22, 2008, 12:41 AM // 00:41

If you look at all the stuff they've released/shown/etc for Diablo III and Starcraft 2, wtf are ANet doing? Do they even know how to make games any more?

slowerpoke · Oct 22, 2008, 12:51 AM // 00:51

gw2 wont exist untill we see ingame footage

no concept art doesnt count, when did that ever resemble end product
