-image is a waste of my lifespan.

good thing I bought the game during black friday $19.99...

but 5 hours is good enough to try out the expansion...

You can really put pressure on yourself and beat GWEN in a little over 4 hours.

What Anet is trying to do is advertise their product for the holiday season and thats good marketing. Its not too short.

Got a question. After the 5 Hour Trial do the ppl get to KEEP there Hero's? Or do they go away just like the Beta Weekend did? Got couple guildies that didn't get EoTN and want to do the weekend but don't want to waste money putting stuff on the Hero's if can't keep them for good.

Depends on the game. 'Normal' demos give you a selection of maps and they you have finished it. A game like GW can't do that.

Just buy the game and quit whining. -_-

Take advantage of the Trial because IMO GWEN isn't worth $40, if u can Find it for $20 during the Holidays buy it.

But seriously, who the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO QQs about being given something for free!!

Grow up and appreciate a gift, stop whining like a bitch.

For 5 hours you can easily complete 1 of the primary quests ( if you only do the primary quest ). Do that with a survivor and get 30K exp

. (triple exp 3* 10k)

Seriously though be glad u can do 5 hours of eotn. If you wanted to check out gwen more you should have gotten the Pre-Order (Which has real nice bonus weapons for your hero's ).

I still don't own gwen, but have the pre-order and playing the trial now. Maybe I'll get it when it's a bit cheaper, maybe not. But I'm not complaining about the free stuff

Wouldn't a whole weekend get one through the whole game?

I'm glad someone has the common sense to understand what a trial is about. Some people just want a free game and to be able to get something instead of playing the trial for what it is for. To see the expansion and see how it works on your system and get a feeling for the storyline. That's all a trial should do. Not give you free stuff in 5 hours.

Pandora's box · Dec 08, 2007, 12:22 PM // 12:22

To all of them who respond with 'buy it' or 'do you expect to get it for free' or something simular:

This event is meant to make us buy the expansion. It's meant to make us enthusiastic. Therefore we should be able to get an overall picture of GW:EN containing at least the highlights of what we can expect after buying it. My current impression is:

Quests take many hours getting from portal to portal without towns to set a waypoint; droprates are exremely low; GW:EN heroes are no better than my own heroes. Overall impression: Nothing special.

Yet... I strongly have the feeling that there is much more, but I did not encounter it. Maybe because I was unlucky in the choices I made in doing quests, taking the wrong routes, whatever.

No, I don't need content for free. I am in the position that I can buy whatever game I LIKE. That's the keyword. And if I had a full weekend of trying the expansion, and like what I see, I would buy it!

And now for someting entirely different:
I notice a new (well for me hehe) abbriviation: QQ. What does it mean???

Yeah, but the 5 hour time limit is also a constraint.

Ya, but if it was a 10 hour trial, everyone that is "trying it out" would finish it with one character and then say "that's it?" Why would you then buy the GWEN?

Guys, the primary story in GWEN is very short. Takes well less than 10 hours to complete. They can't make it a 10 hour trial. Simple as that.

Gregslot · Dec 08, 2007, 04:10 PM // 16:10

I got kicked out of a dungeon when my 5 hours ended ¬¬

warcrap · Dec 08, 2007, 05:02 PM // 17:02

so i guess when you enter a fancy resturant you want them to clear all the tables so you can be seated instantly?

I started the Asura quest and it turned out to be an endless tracking quest through the mountains. I've no clue how far I got, but it takes way too long to complete. Not in the 2.5 hours that I have left since I have to start it all over again. I wonder if I can do ANY quest in that time. This is not what I expected. In 5 hours one can do a lot of things in a pre-searing environment, but nothing at all in a huge landscape with high level enemies. Anyway, I pick one of th 2 other quests tomorrow, hoping its possible to complete one in the time left and get a decent reward. Droppings until now was only some whites and 1 purple. *Sigh!*

Dude your getting a hell of alot more then we got during the preview weekend. We only got to explore a fraction of the map which included the HOM and 2 snowy areas and that was during 2 days.

Atleast you have the potential to see alot more in 5 hours. Stop winging and enjoy the opportunity. Your not getting more then you would for any trial version of a game.

If you try it and you like it.. you buy it!
