[Official] Guild Wars 2 Discussion, Video & Screenshot Thread - Page 277

The guy at gamestop (yesterday) seemed confident that it was June 27th. He said it like he had it on paper.

Hell no.

I don't see why retailers would offer preordering if the game isn't coming out for another half-year. November sounds fishy to me.

Gamestop has been making up release dates for years. It is their job to get pre-orders, which actually means flat out lying to customers.

Windows has a built in one.

Here's some more content if you want to watch. It's just a few videos of me PvPing on Thief and Ranger.

It is by no means great, but it is content nonetheless.

-GW2 should be coming in late August, that is My PREDICTION....I will go out on a limb and say we will get 4 open beta weekends total before release.-

Monumental improvements will be made with each beta, i can assume. We will be getting what we paid for. I see too many people pissed about spending money to buy the game only because they felt that they were promised something in return. Too many people still don't know what a beta is, and nowadays, beta means final demo versions before release. On the other side of things, people who are patient and know better about these things also lash out at the others i just mentioned, not only alienating those who don't know better but also causing some what of a negative impact on the matter. Arenanet cannot afford a backlash like this. People need to realize that this company is not the same as those other gaming companies. These people learn from their mistakes and other companies mistakes. They want to innovate...and that takes time. We the last 15 years of gaming (mostly console gamers coming into PC nowadays) are still so spoiled thinking that they are owed everything in obligation because they are loyal fans of games that they make.

Upon looking at this mess i can see 1 thing very clearly.... because theres a lot of these things going on and people grumbling about not having a beta at the time Arenanet said they'll have or not (they did not promise once a month, they said they'll try and aim for 1 a month ), the fact is everyone is so passionate about this game..GUILD WARS 2!!!!! Hopefully all of this negativity on GW2 facebook page doesn't cause a negative backlash coming into release date. I like many other Guild Wars fans are in bad withdrawals right now, so for those who are patient enough to understand that Arenanet is banking on the quality of success of GW2 by innovation and taking MMO's to new heights, lets remind other fellow gamers why things are the way they are now instead of feeding the haters more fuel to their fire by bashing them.........We've waited years for a true sequel to Guild Wars, we can afford to wait patiently 1 more season ( 3 months ) can't we?
A brand series can't topple the current leader of it's genre (WoW) with us loyal fans in great numbers alone..... and that's why Arenanet is working their asses off between each beta weekends events!!!

I know, Windows Movie Maker. The thing is, it was crap about 2 years ago...guess I'll give it a try

The Gamestop Release Binder, in the Spring of 2010 had a release date of Nov. 2010. I pre-ordered it for $5. No release.

In 2011, they showed a release date of Nov. 2011 in the Release Binder.

IIRC, the binder on the counter shows Nov. 2012 now.

That being said, their website shows 6-26-2012

From The GW2 Facebook page:


There goes my hopes for this month, but I'm glad to see them working on better hardware/more hardware after what happened wtih lag and whatnot

Yeah, I agree. I'm also glad that they actually bothered to come out and tell us that there won't be one this weekend.


Do you guys think they will let us play as higher levels to test different parts of the game in the next BWE? Or do you guys think that they're just going to keep it to the beginning levels?

I'm pretty sure that level 30 will be the absolute max for the beta especially considering the time that it took me to reach level 30 was quite a bit for the first beta weekend and even then it was really a waste that it was deleted at the end of the stress test. So I don't think they will considering very few will reach that point and the severe disappointment whent he characaters are deleted again.

I wonder if there will be a point where they'll let us keep our characters after a beta though, I highly doubt it but it's something to think about considering we also get three days before the release date since we preordered.
