End of trailer


Whats up with that part on the end of the trailer. A Charr or maybe a Norn bear (Like the Savage Nornbear) that becomes a Destroyer like creature... hmm... --   † F1 ©  Talk  10:47, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Some sorta Charr-Destroyer hybrid, maybe? [[Image:RHSig.jpg]] rede | beiträge 13:49, 21 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I think that one of the Charr Shamans finally got some recognition of there new god Primordus -- F1Sig.png  † F1 ©  Talk  14:04, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Charr Effigy, at least thats what I thought Lยкץ๒๏ץ talk  09:27, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I remember reading someone (Regina? I've read too many things, can't remember who said what) saying that the Charr have abandoned their false gods and Shamans, but the Shamans didn't just go away. I'm expecting to see them as some kind of antagonist force driven by Primordus, as TF1 suggested.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 17:20, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I thought it looked suspiciously like this Charr Effigy. Notice how that one is more 'Destroyer-like' than the ones in game. --Macros 00:06, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * But Charr Effigy are made of wood (and metal) -- F1Sig.png  † F1 ©  Talk  15:35, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * So? Why would that matter 250 years in the future? If that is a Charr Shaman in the picture, then it could be a Charr Effigy, since Charr Effigies are created and controlled by the Shamans. Maybe it was creating one, summoning one, or becoming one. Who knows what they've learned to do. --Macros 16:40, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

It seems you get your wish Treehuger :O Fond this one in the fast moving stuff on the end. Look at the Tattoos it's Norn! --   † F1 ©  Talk  15:44, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * That looks like concept art for the Charr in the picture just above this. Notice the "runed" arms. They're probably one of the few remaining Charr Shamans. --Macros 16:40, 28 August 2009 (UTC)



Ehm wait. This one has tatoos to. But has a Charr tail :O --   † F1 ©  Talk  08:13, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * And a rocket launcher of some sort. Guild Wars 2, Modern Warfare?--Darksyde  14:18, 28 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Those 2 last pics are charr... Check out the horns, fangs, etc. And about the first pic, regina said about it that the shamans are still around. You remember Duncan the Black? My guess is that the shamans did something similar, or recieved a gift of power or something from primmy in exchange for servitude.--[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]El_Nazgir 17:32, 28 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah the last one is Charr. But the 2e one... is chest has no hair and his tatoes a re norn like. But than again the last one also has tatoes. But I think I stay with my first opinion. Thats it is one of the Shaman Casts. And yes Shamans will always be around but more in battle situations. Thats what Guild Wars wiki 2 says any ways -- F1Sig.png  † F1 ©  Talk  17:55, 28 August 2009 (UTC)


 * 2nd one: Look at the fangs, look at the horns. He wears a blindfold. Also, look at Charr Bladestorm.jpg. Same tatoos, same horns, same body colour. The only thing different is that his mouth doesn't glow and that he has a helmet instead of a blindfold.--[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]El_Nazgir 21:27, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes, as I recall Palawa Joko dammed the River Elon to create drought and famine in order to take Vabbi with minimal resistance.Kamiya 19:12, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

It's a Norn Polar Bear now

 * Yeah, that seemed odd for me too, more than one bear form with different buffs perhaps 18:18, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It was said in an interview that Norn can shapeshift into "beasts," which implies it may not be just the bear, and I'm sooo totally going Snow Leopard! Also, the original intention in the EotN was for them to shift into a wolf, raven and owl also (people even dug up the skill icons for them in the dat file, maybe just owl and wolf, but the owl looked like ORLY owl :P), but the idea was abandoned due to technical problems, and they kept just the bear.

 * I think in one of the interviews they did say that GW2 will have day/night cycles, at least they intend to, hence the little "hint" in the trailer. We already have a few perma-night time zones and even outposts in GW1.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 17:16, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Plants are hermaphroditic, so maybe Sylvari are the same? Which would mean they've got a surprise hidden under those skirts... On a serious note, I remember seeing pictures of male Sylvari somewhere.

I found this with the art at the GW 2 site. It looks like a male, evil version of the Sylvari. Could be an enemy for all I know, but they look all planty and that thing behind him looks just like what the girl in the trailer 'greened'.JamicaXD 17:46, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Charr seem to be in the industrial age now

 * Are you sure it's the Charr? I thought it was an Asuran city. The Charr don't strike me as the kind of race that would care about technological advancement that much. Kamiya 16:33, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Someone somewhere at Anet said that the Charr have abandoned their false gods and embraced the technology of war or something along those lines. They're also the ones with guns, so this fits them the most.  Asura have the magical gates and giant floating energy cube thingamabobbers.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 17:05, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Where did this information about guns come from? I've never seen it, and would like to. --Macros 04:04, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I've read a few of the recent post-trailer interviews, and Regina's Journal and some other devs' pages on GWWiki (Emily, Gaile, Joe), so it must've been in one of those. But really, they didn't say much more than I did above and in the Shaman image section about them not being totally gone, hinting that we will run into them and it might not be pleasant judging by the whole Destroyer-esque transformation...  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 05:02, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Underwater


This would be awesome. Wonder how long you can hold your breath --  <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="darkred"> † F1 ©  Talk  08:33, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * In one of the magazine interviews I read that they intend to make underwater exploration easy and enjoyable, without having to worry about running out of air all the time. After seeing the swimming naga in the trailer, my guess is that you will ride them underwater just like riding wurms in the Desolation, but that's just my personal guess.  In any case, they implied that you won't have to "hold your breath."  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 17:09, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

From RT's blog
Incase you missed it, GW2 now has a trailer. It's about 5 mins long, and I'm going to give some opinions. It was mostly concept art, but there were a few awesome things:

Things that looked awesome

 * The day/night sweep, I may speculate that GW2 will have day/night, but I can't be certain that this is the case, anyway - night looks much better than night in EQ2, and in Oblivion, the moon effect was beautiful (<3).
 * Some of the Asuran tech looked immense
 * Water effects and underwater environments are top class
 * Running animations (for what seemed to be charr)
 * Environments in general are top class
 * The music, a redux of the GW:EN overture was probably the best thing about the trailer.

Observations

 * Looks like there won't be a good/evil race split (something to rolplay only, perhaps). Mentions races allying
 * Some of the gameplay footage looked like GW1 footage, nothing too new
 * Keep in mind the final trailer for GW1, which used artistic license up the wazoo.

Comments most welcome <font color="Orange">Random <font color="Black">Time  18:40, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

F1's blogy (sort of in the make thingy)
I don't there will be a good/evil split but the Charr still rule over most parts of Ascalon so they won't be that close to them. And ofcourse the Charr them self aren't a really friendly and warm people. So it will be a fun group of "people" :D

Also I think that they keep in mind that most people will chose a different race instead of the humans. As they are killed in the wars. So there will be a lot less humans.

I sure hope that you just can walk because the Charr run is great. But I get crazy if I walk like that forever --  <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="darkred"> † F1 ©  Talk  20:58, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

I don't get it
What exactly is so great about this trailer? I hear everyone else fawning over how ut;s cikk omg omg omg <3~ but I'm not really impressed. Of course the graphics are nice: GW has one of the nicer graphics engines right now, and the one thing they never disappoint on is the art department. I would naturally expect GW2 to be better, and if this is what the gameplay will eventually look like, then yeah it's a bit better. Good job. But...so what? :\ (T/C) 06:47, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * /agree with that, prehaps it's because we're in a desert as far as GW2 news is concerned, and any news is water, which the community flocks around because there's so little. That said, the underwater locations were spectacular. <font color="Orange">Random <font color="Black">Time  08:51, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm just really excited that my feet aren't going to be glued to the ground anymore. The first thing I'm going to do when I make a character in GW2 is jump into the water and swim away, enjoying every second of it. Kamiya 16:29, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Heh, next thing you know you'll have to tame the naga to swim like the wurms in the Desolation now (I think that's what's gonna happen, based on the trailer), and it'll be halfway into the game. :P RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 17:08, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * If that's right I'll be so pissed I might just kill someone. Kamiya 17:53, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, in one of the interviews they said that they don't want to make swimming like in some other games where you constantly have to worry about running out of air and feel constrained in what you can do underwater/for how long. This implies that rather than wearing giant bubble heads, we will have some means of transportation underwater to allow for carefree exploration, and still make sense as to why the heck we haven't suffocated yet.  Sulfurous haze immediately comes to mind, and we did see those giant nagas swimming underwater in the trailer.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 18:21, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

The Dragon
Ok, What if.. Glint's Baby that you save in the Glint's Challenge mission is the dragon or in some way on the side of the dragon. Its possible Trueblade 05:47, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually... no, it's not. Anet has said that these dragons are much more ancient than Glint herself and Kuunavang.  These two have been called "babies" compared to the true Ancient Dragons, who are what we're going to fight in GW2.  They went dormant looong before Glint and Kuuna were born.  And I doubt that Glint would spoil her baby enough that it decides to go uber-evil and try to destroy the world that his mommy worked so hard to save in the Flameseeker Prophecies.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 06:23, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

 * If anything, the baby might grow up and become an ally of the "good guys," like his mommy. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 06:31, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok.. New theory: The baby grows up by the time the players enter the game. THEN she tests the players if they are strong enough or part of some prophecy. After that joins the humans and obliterates the undead in some series of missions. And in the final mission she is the reason why the players win cause she deals the final strike! oh Trueblade 16:44, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Glint's power isn't even close to the ancient dragons, and shes like 3000+ or something, the baby is however long it takes between GW1 and GW2 (isn't that 200 years or something?) old. Dragons take time to age and gain power, but the baby (I don't think we know its gender yet) probably will have some role, just not as big as your making it out to be.--Łô√ë [[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg|Roar.]]<font color="Black">îğá†ħŕášħ  19:49, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Classes/Races
I'm guessing Sylvari bring things to life of change certain objects and have ancient magic bla, Asura are obsessed with weaponry, Norn transform into different beasts, Charr and human seem to be quite plain compared but may have there own powers. The whole story and design seems pretty complex compared to GW1, like it's 5 different games into one. They said in the interview that you can just go one way and follow a story in your own way, instead of going Mission to mission. I really hope they release this soon :] and not in 2011 like people keep saying.
 * Well I'm more leaning toward there are some bonuses and abilities unique to each race, like the Norn's shifting, but I think that you will pick both a race and class, so you can be a Norn hunter, a Norn Warrior, or a Norn whatever else, but no matter what class you pick you will always be able to shift into animal from and it will provide a buff that would benefit any class you can pick.

 * I'd guess there's probably some shared classes among the races (probably very similar to the 6 Core classes now) but each race probably also has at least 1 unique class (such as Asuran Golemancers or something, which were rather obvious in the trailer) --Gimmethegepgun 20:04, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Naga
Ok those Nagas are really bugging me. First of all what are they doing in Ascalon? I thought they were in Cantha? They weren't in Ascalon, were they? And they are not the Forgotten, because if you pause it and look, they only have 2 hands and a skinny body, from head to tail. Everything is in game, so it's not like they MADE it up. Right now I can think of two explinations. 1) It's a cutscene, like when they introduced Ascalon in the pre-searing when you first start out. The cutsecene is just showing stuff around Ascalon, and it shows the Nagas. 2) They are a playable race(very, very unlikely). Perhaps we learn how to explore underwater from them. So what do you guys think? Oh and I forgot to mention, remember how all the "Non-Human" races were driven out of Cantha....--74.70.73.106 21:00, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * [update]: I found this on guildwiki; "According to the Factions manuscripts, the intelligent Naga were in the past a species of merchants and artisians who were at peace with the Humans, until the Jade Wind nearly destroyed the entire race. If not for the Naga priestess Hanasha Coralfin, who united the less than 40 remaining Naga and established a warlike and expansive culture that seeks vengeance on the humans who they blame for their catastrophe."- Because they were driven out of Cantha, they probably hated the humans even more. Well since they no longer live in Cantha, they start a new life in Ascalon? Made a pact with the Charrs, who also hate the humans? Notice the "established a warlike and expansive culture that seeks vengeance on the humans", very (VERY,VERY) much like the Charrs. Now they are threatened by the Dragons?--74.70.73.106 21:07, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Plural of Charr is charr. Anyway, It's 200 years later, so much can change <font color="Orange">Random <font color="Black">Time  21:19, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Exactly my point Randomtime. I want them to be a playable race, but don't think it's going to happen because other than Factions they were never really a significant in the GW world. I don't think even the Tengus and the Centaurs will be playable, and they were more significant than the Nagas in GW. And partially because Anet has not mentioned ANYTHING about the Nagas. But as you said, a lot can happen in 250 yrs.--74.70.73.106 23:35, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Well Keep in mind that the dragons arose all over the world and communication with Cantha has been cut off. Also according to the setting information cantha has made drastic changes over its treatment of non-human races under the new emperor so if the tengu are applicable then i wouldn't doubt the naga would also be under the gun...and with that they'd have to move along...also just because the naga only appeared in cantha it doesn't mean that the naga don't swim in other waters.

Flamethrower
It definitely looks like a flamethrower. It was in the trailer at about 4:29. I got it from here (the third to last pic)If you look at the mouth of the "flamethrower" you will see that there are holes. The color showing through the left most hole is the same as the right most, meaning that the same "material" is passing from the right most hole to the left most. Until finally the flames come out. Also notice the way the "Thing"(don't wanna say it's a Charr) is holding the "flamethrower", you only that when some is holding a two hand weapon (pointed down). There are also those tube looking things on the bottom right hand corner, going under the "Flamepack"."It" is also wearing some sort of protective goggles. I am not saying that it's IN GW2, after all it is a concept art. Why do you think?--Darkrampage 20:30, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Charr (I do want to say it's a Charr :) ) have guns, too. I wouldn't be suprised if the thought of a flamethrower-Charr flew by :P --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  20:51, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * OK it is a Charr. I didn't think it was at first because of it's "bare body" lol. I saw NO fur on it, so I hesitated to say that it is a Charr. But then I looked at that other Charr from the trailer( the one holding a FDS) and it's body was "bare" too; No fur. LOL a Charr with a flamethrower, WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?!?!?!..... :) --Darkrampage 21:00, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, Well, Well. Looky here. So are they planning to introduce the A-Bomb anytime soon too? LoL :). More pics here --Darkrampage 23:01, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * looks more like a bazooka. &mdash; <font color="#7777CC">Balistic

Golem
Theres a golem in the trailer (or something that looks a lot like it). It's a different design to the golems in eotn but more short and stumpy. I hope we're not going to have to belive that in 200 years the chaar have invented guns but the Azura (who are already the most advanced race) keep using the same things that didn't really work 200 years ago. Seems like the Azura have got stuck in some kind of time loop. i hope the azura with the glove means we can control golems now, otherwize the azura look like they've stayed still for 200 years, while the chaar have invented the gun--Hugarh 16:14, 28 August 2009 (UTC)


 * There were several golems in it I think, in various sizes and forms. And the golems were already pretty powerful in GW1...--[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]<font color="Green">El_Nazgir 17:28, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
