IV.Quotes from ArenaNet

Regina Buenaobra said:

We don't have our own booth on the show floor, but as the end of the post says, "Keep an eye open for further announcements about even more Guild Wars 2 goodness at PAX East."

The event at the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel is the NCsoft-wide Meet and Greet, with a similar format as we had during the weekend of New York Comic Con. We will be joining our NCsoft friends there from CoH and Aion for that meet and greet, and you can play the demo there. :)

Martin Kerstein said:

I know this will break some hearts - but we will not show PvP at PAX East.

Martin Kerstein said:

We had the same discussion on these boards when we went to gamescom, so I re-iterate what I said back then:

Engine optimization is amongst the last steps in the development cycle, so the hardware the demo is running on is completely irrelevant for guessing which hardware would be needed when we launch.

Stéphane Lo Presti said:

The dragon burried beneath the ice of Drakkar Lake is actually not Jormag. He's to Jormag what the Shatterer is to Kralkatorrik, something akin to lieutenant.

[Khalija]

BAM! Let the updates begin.

[Mr. Mango]

Oh yes! MY FAVORITE THREAD OF THE SEASON!

[Grimrist]

yum :) this is gonna be awesome. can't wait. :D

[MetalMan]

I'm going to miss the initial start of PAX :( but, can't wait to get on and see whats been going on :)

[~PolarisNova~]

Can't wait....my only regret is that I won't be able to watch the live streaming by Alienware....but hopefully I can catch some videos of it later on (that's a hint ;)).

[charleo0192]

It'll be nice to see some new videos.

Completely. can we get requests in early? I'd really love someone to do a loop of Hoelbrak so we can get an idea of size. Static shots can only do so much, but if we could time a lap...

[spaceman236]

What, has it started?
I'm not really good at the dates , especially when there is so much time difference :(
HOORAAAJ

[Jonny10]

Awwww yeah! It has started. This'll be good!

[Akbaroth]

it'd be baddass if someone would, as soon as they get in-game take pictures/videos of each individual skill they get for each of their weapons. so make a video of themselves hovering the mouse over each skill, then swap weapons, and do it again.

even better, take shots of all the traits, since we know so very few traits it would be an enormous boon. srsly, just look at the traits pages on the gw2wiki, necro and warrior are the only ones that aren't practically blank.

[Lyssa]

Haha. This feels so wierd and familiar. I cant believe gamescom was so long ago already...


Lets do this!

[Divine Comedy]

What an amazing organisation! gonna check this every hour!

Guild Wars 2 should be out by tomorrow then.

[the butcher]

This will be fun again :)

[OctoberJade]

Wait, it started already? It's not even 7 am yet... damn.

[Naut]

This thread is going to be full of awesomeness! :D Can't wait.

[Trueblade]

Thanks for making these threads.  It makes it so easy to keep up with everything!

[Howl]

I'm watching the live stream right now, it hasn't even started and there's 1574 viewers plus the chat is obviously exploding in hype.

[Pie]

Thank you for organizing the thread Kvinna. :)

[Symbiosis]

[Leon Felix]

Hey guys check out this video of the first actual gameplay footage I found of live recording at around 10:45am.

Its about an 1 hour and 30 min long but its incredible stuff... The gameplay doesn't start until I think like 15 min into it but this is the best I could get you guys.

[Romanator0]

That is from the live feed.

[Jonny10]

Dead link is dead!

[Arduin]

^ Working for me.

[Darcy]

Thanks for that link, and hopefully, this is better than the actual live stream which had first video and then sound problems.
