Guild Wars 2

Players: MMO
Publisher: NCsoft
Genres: Action, Adventure, RPG
Release Date: September 21, 2011
Developer: ArenaNet
MSRP: $TBA
Platforms:
In the world of Tyria, 250 years after the players defeat the Great Destroyer in the Eye of the North expansion, five elder dragons sleeping beneath the continent have awoken, causing widespread destruction to Tyria and corrupting its inhabitants. The once dominant humans of Tyria are in decline, supplanted from most of their land by disasters and war, and the dwarves are all but extinct. Old and new races alike have begun to rise in the resulting power vacuum. Old cities have been destroyed and rebuilt, kingdoms seized and reformed by new rulers. The continents of Cantha and Elona, introduced in separate stand-alone campaigns, have been cut off by politics and the dragons. The advancement of time is reflected in the changes in culture, including armor and clothing, as well as in the advancement of in-game technology and a unified common language.

March little ones… FREEEEEDOOOOOOM!!

As we all wait patiently to find out if we’re going to receive our Guild Wars 2 beta invites, we apparently can be sated for just a little while with some new screenshots courtesy of Guild Wars Insider. To say that these maps are beautiful is rather obvious, but to say that this is going to be a PvP map that will soon see myself and many others stain these fields with the blood of our enemies… that is a statement of fact, minions.

    The top 2 are the Red and Blue verions of cloth PvP armor (as far as I understand the armor automaticaly adjusts to color of witchever team you are in). In structured PvP (as well custom matches on those maps) everyone will be treaded as max level characters, with all unlocked skills and having max gear – for a level playing field.

    The structured PvP battlegrounds are going to be in The Mists.
    The Mists is the realm of the afterlife and the proto-reality that exists between the worlds which in turn are the building blocks of reality. They are the home to various gods and other powerful entities and the residences of various afterlives. The Mists resonate from the worlds around them, forming bits of their own reality — islands of existence that reflect the histories of their worlds.
    These battles will be probably for divine blessing(s), as it was in Guild Wars1(“Heroes Descent”).

    Oooooh yes…Daddy likes!

    I have been waiting for Guild Wars 2 for so long now. Ever since the initial announcement and my excitement only continues to grow as we get closer. SWTOR can only sate the appetite for so long and even with the myriad of other games I’m playing right now, I think this is still at the top of my list.

    I can only hope it delivers on those promises. I do have a modicum of faith in ANet at this point, lets hope they don’t disappoint.

    …Okay okay, I really just want to rain fire and lightning from the skies with a dash of earthquakes like I did in GW1 lol…Can you blame me?
