As the title suggests,
what do you think there will be regarding GW2 on GC Germany?
A beta would be too much but maybe some more info about the upcoming features that we don't already know of or a trailer just like the very first GW gameplay trailer, you know, the one that looked like WoW?

I really did not know where to put this, so I just posted it here, seeing as it is about speculation!

I'll personally be extremely surprised if we get anything more substantial than a new batch of concept art.

I thought you werent allowed to make threads like this :O

Anyways, I know it's either human, charr, sylvari, and Norn that's play-able.

There was confirmation that they will be there? All I've seen is confirmation of attendance at PAX. Last year at Leipzig the stand was shared between Aion and GW. No prizes for which will take precedence this year.

This is how rumors get started. Have Anet confirmed they'd be there, or that they'd talk about GW2? Expecting things like this out of shear hope usually ends up in disappointment.

i wouldn't build your hopes up too much

gw2 is still currently no more than a paragraph of lore

cainthered · Jul 13, 2009, 12:32 PM // 12:32

They said that they will attend PAX and GC IIRC

NCsoft is attending Leipzig at the end of July 09. But with Aion scheduled for September 25th, I assume there will no GW2 related news.

A recent post by Regina Buenaobra about how "far away" PAX was, when it were in fact less than two months away, also suggests that there are no big GW2 related thing planned at the moment.

Although Aion gameplay videos existed three years before its launch, I would not get my hopes up of seeing GW2 related materials. ArenaNet does it differently in that department, whether you like it or not.

tasha · Jul 13, 2009, 01:15 PM // 13:15

Did a bit of digging and NCSoft are listed as attending GC, so I apologise for my previous comments. However this does NOT mean that ArenaNet will be there, or there will be any stand space for Guild Wars or Guild Wars 2. Even last year the stand was insanely Aion orientated, imagine what it'll be like now (2 months till Aion EU launch).

Its 2 and half weeks til the show opens - if ArenaNet will be at GC the official announcement as such is due any day now (last year they announced on the 4th August and the show started the 20th). If ANet are there, I'd be pleasantly surprised to see any promotion of GW2 (and believe me I'd love to see it, just being realistic).

cainthered · Jul 13, 2009, 01:32 PM // 13:32

Ofcourse I don't really expect anything, but it would be a nice bonus and heads-up don't you think?
Could be that they suddenly release loads of info for the sake of the element of surprise!

BTW, in the article you posted, they stated that NCsoft goes to GC 2008, so there is still hope! xD

Kattar · Jul 13, 2009, 01:46 PM // 13:46

Aion is the only thing they're going to talk about.

I'll be taking bets all week.

Gun Pierson · Jul 13, 2009, 07:37 PM // 19:37

My personal bet: 99% chance it's all about Aion, I hope I loose.

Regina Buenaobra · Jul 14, 2009, 12:29 AM // 00:29

Martin will be at GC in Cologne, and a few others from ArenaNet, but the focus for NCsoft as a whole will be Aion.

And yes ArenaNet will be at PAX. (And so will Aion and City of Heroes). :-)

Most importantly of all, will GW2 be there?

pamelf · Jul 14, 2009, 02:44 AM // 02:44

From Regina's statement I think we can safely assume No.

Gigashadow · Jul 14, 2009, 02:53 AM // 02:53

Given this (and that it has been recently stated we'll get more info "later this year"):

I think we will see GW2 at PAX.

cainthered · Jul 14, 2009, 09:46 AM // 09:46

Well, I could always hope!

Fril Estelin · Jul 14, 2009, 11:30 AM // 11:30

I'd love to be in Leipzig! It's always a pleasure to meet the Anet guys and Martin is a fun, fun, fun guy. So Regina when do we see you in Europe? ;P

Kattar · Jul 14, 2009, 01:02 PM // 13:02

Called it. Where's my money?

Everytime you have ArenaNet in the same sentence as PAX you use a big smiley. Curse you hopeful heart!!!
