Video looks awesome, but I kept trying to zoom out just a bit while watching it. The camera seems really close to your character, especially when in Lich form.

That's due to the user.

This is the same demo I played out at PAX, same race/class combo and it was amazing.

I'll buy that and play, all detailed subjectory aside.  Wish there was a static game details section in these threads....what's the latest release date?

Best bet for looking for static info is the official wiki: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Main_Page

Typically that's not correct.  The FAQ pages of new games seem to always be very vague.  They only release details through forum conversations with "blue" posts, etc., that have to be searched for, which can take hours.  Answer is, you guys don't know, which is fine.  Their answer, as somebody already posted, "ready when ready."  I'll go back to not caring for another 6 months now.

I meant in general, not just for that specific question.  And that wiki does all that for you.  It is almost scarily well-sourced and up-to-date, even when compared to games that are out.

The Guild Wars and GW2 wiki pages are probably the best of any games' wiki pages.  The community is insane about documenting things.  MMO-Champion is the only other site which comes close.

Hahahaha!  I'm really good at this!

The one that always impresses me the most is http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_Wiki.

I had this game preordered at one point, well over a year ago.  I'm sure it will be great, but they needed to hold back on the marketing until closer to launch.  I wonder if we'll see it launch in 2012?

Apparently (according to the GW2 thread on Neogaf) a site accidentally leaked the reveal trailer for the Mesmer.  The trailer has been pulled down since, with a note that it is under embargo until 11:30am pst on Wednesday.

Indeed.  It wasn't showing up in a search on youtube but I found a link to it elsewhere.  Looks good, although I'm personally leaning towards Thief right now.

I'd rather play it safe and not link to a leaked video here.  It's showing up in the search on youtube for me now, so if you really want to see it, it's not hard to find.

Kotaku have the video up as an article right now.

As for the weapon choices, I'm glad you can use pretty much whatever the fuck you want. I don't know to what level that sort of thing is tied into (ie: the whole Dual Spec aspect of the original GW allowed you to use weapons of both classes at any time) but that will be revealed eventually I guess.

If you've looked at the talent things, the way it is in the demos is that weapon choice is limited (but very broad per class), and weapon choice determines half your skill bar. So a skill may be bound to Mesmer + Sword, and unavailable with another weapon. Offhands are half of that weapon side of your bar, so sword + pistol is slightly different than sword + focus.

I actually dig the system since it gives some interesting thought behind "what should I use", you also have in zone weapon switching so you can pop over to another playstyle entirely.

Closed beta is officially starting this friday. No application forms or anything, the devs will select accounts themselves. Probably pve/pvp uberguilds are getting in with this batch. More importantly, this seems to indicate that they're gearing up for a Q2 2012-ish release date, at least IMO... I'm pretty damn hyped for this game in any case.

My compulsion to play SWTOR is feeling more and more like hate-fucking.  As a result I just followed GW2 on twitter and there are a bunch of tweets about this:

I can't help but feel that the hype of GW2 is going to leave many gaming enthusiasts disappointed.  They are over-promising awesome at a level impossible to deliver.  I almost wish they'd harness some of that enthusiasm and just surprise us with a great game quietly.  I know, I know... the suits will never let it go down like that.

You're just being your normal cynical self again.

From all that I've played the game delivers exactly what they are promising, at least, on the basic levels.

If that's true, then they will win my $$$ and loyalty.  If not, then I'm right.  Either way, I win!  why so serious?

Pshaw!  I will always remember you hedging your bets and that isn't a true win!

In any case, they should be demoing at Pax EAST this year and I'll be there with full media badges if you have anything you want me to poke around I'll do so.  They allow full video in their booths.

I'd love to know as much as I can about the PvP.  I have a full guild of enthusiasts looking toward GW2 as their next fix. 

I'd also like to know about their microtrans system and what they will be doing to extract money from us in bite-sized chunks.  What will spending money get us after the box cost?  Assuming, of course, they dont' go with a subscription model.

I don't think I've ever seen any specifics on micro trans, nor have I seen anything of a PVP demo at shows.  We shall see.  Though they have talked a lot about PVP over the last year.  Check out their dev blog archives.

I will. 

I hope you'll post a summary from the show.  I'd be interested in hearing your opinion. I've always valued your view of the industry... even when we haven't agreed.

The more I hear about GW2 recently, the less interested I become. I was pretty excited until they went into detail about their weak ass pvp.
