GW 2!!

[Triia]

Whoa.... I remember the first time I read the description of Phoenix and thought that it sounded awesome. I was disappointed that it wasn't more like it's description. Now, that video of the new skill... THAT'S more like what I had in mind!

I have to say I'm not digging the rifle and pistol additions. Very interesting info on weapons today and Kaiser called the no-second-profession thing.
Where's my recurve bow??
And I can already see all the duel wielding 13 yo's.

One-Handed: Axe, dagger, mace, pistol, scepter, and sword.

Two-Handed: Greatsword, hammer, longbow, rifle, shortbow, and staff.

Offhand only: Focus, shield, torch, and warhorn.

No single profession is able to use all of these weapons, and some of them can wield a lot more than others. Many professions can also wield a one-handed weapon in their offhand. A weapon in the offhand will have different skills than that same weapon wielded in the main hand. A warrior, for example, can learn to dual-wield and choose to equip two swords, which would give him three skills from the sword in his main hand and two skills from the sword in his offhand.

Feels like it's getting a bit more complicated for the sake of freshness according to the articles as of late. I blame the Asura for the rifles and pistols though. >.> Them and their technology (or maybe it's the Charr?)

Anyone else make it to the end of this article?

I feel a post rampage in progress!

[Khunlin]

I take this as proof that ANet uses KhunlinVision(tm) even on these forums, and that years of frustration resulted from their not being able to grammar-nazi my posts. This was their thinly-veiled, back-hand way to prod me. (Notice the specific mentions of overuse of parentheticals and ellipses)

[Triia]

I know! I don't think it's just you... it might be the whole guild. Wait... we don't have an overuse problem... or do we (well, I know I don't... )?


I did notice the other day on some of the WiK dialogue that "asura" was not capitalized. It really caught my eye and stuck out, for some reason. Huh... maybe that was it.

[Jupiter]

I so agree Triia...Khunlin just thinks of himself...which in this case was ok...I suppose...

Wow. They really lumped the warrior together. Figured they'd fuse warrior + dervish more than warrior + ranger.

[Malae]

*drools*
Man does that look good..
I think the good General will be making a very early appearance in GW2

[Jupiter]

Well after thinking all day that they were going to do away with the ranger (I'm not saying they are, just worrying they might), I have found something to be excited about!
Did anyone see the addition they made to the bows?!

BOWSTRINGS!

Yes, I had to log on to make sure I remembered correctly.

[Triia]

Wait.... yeah, I see the bowstrings but... now no arrows? WTF?

I dunno if I approve of this warrior with bows thing. What's happening to the rangers? Why won't anyone think of the rangers?!

I'm loving the way those little gobliny guys move when the camera follows them from behind (in the arcing shot bit). Very nice animating.

Did anyone else read about Traits? Interesting. I'm curious to see how this works. Yeesh... I hope they announce something about a beta soon.

[Jupiter]

And so they answered the most asked questions about the Warrior and Trait articles here, but I see nothing about my most asked (read: sensitive) question about RANGERING. *sigh*
