It’s Coming, But Slowly – A Overview and Opinion of Recent Developments and Release Speculations

So much has happened since I last wrote something, but my studies have been holding me back. At least I have been able to follow all of the developments and was able to comment on a few thing.

The Mesmer Has Me Overwhelmed – A Mesmer-Update-Beta Opinion

Some big reveals have been made this week, and I’m only talking about them now. First off all, I wanted to calm down before writing about them. Secondly because I just didn’t have the time or energy to write; with the holidays and all of that. Thirdly, because I’m addicted to watching SWTOR; yes, I know, sue me, it’s because I need something.
So now, we’re getting to the reveal of the mesmer; the update of the achievements, thief and the animations and my opinion on the closed beta; all in one post. 

Information For The Cravers – A View of the Development Update

Let’s be honest here, we have been going nuts ever since Gamescom. People are saying the hype is dying, moderators have to step in every day to ask members to stay on topic and it’s been one big guessing game. ArenaNet knows this and has finally decided to do something about it, and instead of choosing a title like: Pets and how they look updated, they decided to give us everything we wanted: a development update. 

Changing Alliances – A Guild Review for GuildMags Blog Carnival

Some details were revealed about the new guild system of our favorite upcoming MMORPG at Gamescom and PAX, and it’s time to blog about it. We can still join multiple guilds, but they will be tied to our account instead of our character, and we can switch our ‘dedication’ to a guild with a simple click of our mice. Switching loyalty at seconds notice: a blessing or doomed to fail.

Tiny People, Tiny Posts – An Asura Week Review

Asura Week is over and it was a … revelation to me. A short race means a reasonably short blog post apparently, but maybe I’m just used to the long blog post the sylvari week brought us. Think of it what you will, this race week still gave us some information, and something for me to ponder about. And that is a great accomplishment, looking at the fact that the asura sometimes use words that make a story a lot more complicated.

All About The Craziness – A Gamescom Demo Review

Pushing people around, yelling, loud music, the smell of sweat, over-active entertainers and, most of all, the Guild Wars 2 Demo. I might have waited four hours to get my hands on the PvE demo, but I did it. I played Guild Wars 2! But I’m telling you all one thing: that it’s the last time I went to Gamescom or any other gaming convention. Gamers are just too damn crazy when it comes to free stuff and games.

How To Get A Painting In A Video – A GamesCom 2011 Trailer Review

Some blog about the PvP information we just received, others about the small parts of the demo that were posted online. But I’m going to blog about what really struck me today: the Guild Wars 2 GamesCom 2011 Trailer. Although some footage was recycled, a very big part of the trailer was brand new, epic footage. Guild Wars 2, you never get old. Prepare for a blog post containing 40 images.

Planting A Seed – A Sylvari Week Review

The Sylvari Week is over and soon, we’ll all be able to see them in the demos at GamesCom and PAX. To sum up the week: great. And to sum up the things we discovered: it’s all in the details.

Where Was My Invitation? – A Fanday Review

Well, I’m a little insulted that I didn’t get an invitation, but I guess I don’t have enough visitors to be called “popular”, so… I’m still very grateful for all the information, pictures and even some videos we got. Underwater combat and dungeons. That’s what the official visit to the offices of Guild Wars 2 were all about. And let’s not forget the subject that is even closer to being released: the Winds of Change.

I Wanna Cuddle Them – A Quaggan Post

Quaggan, a friendly, fat dolphin looking race has emerged in Tyria. Being driven away by those horrible krait, they went from living on the bottom of the ocean, being almost unknown, to living in little lakes and rivers. Why didn’t they fight? Why didn’t they just blast those krait instead of running and making themselves known to murdering pirates and other enemies? Well, because they’re afraid to get mad.
