It's actually linked at the end of the OP, but here's a Youtube link. Shows off some Sword+Shield, Greatsword, and what looks to be a Blunderbuss. Really cool stuff.

thx!
Nice. Have one for Rangers per chance? And the other classes?

Where's this from?
So is there any good speculation when the beta might actually start? My anticipation for this game was close to 0 before this thread (for good reason), the bombardment of videos and info has destroyed that
March
Video of a Guardian scaled down from level 30, skip to 9:10
Even for being scaled he starts getting worked, it would probably be quite challenging to do this on level without all of the extra stats/gear.

Reddit, someone made it.

Ah nice, yea i was just using the wiki to look at skills but this works better
hope they make mroe for the other classesDidn't want this to get lost in the shuffle;
There's no need for any kind of alliance or alliance system; you can belong to multiple guilds at the same time in GW2 and can switch between them on the fly. You can only represent one at a time for capturing objectives and such, but there's no reason you can't be in a hardcore PVP guild, a friends & family guild and GAF Guild at the same time.

If developers designed a worthwhile mmo maybe we'd stick around!
Elixabeth (pls tell me thats not the real spelling) in the latest Guildcast revealed that she found an option in the UI that allowed you to one click your aoes. It basically targets where you have your mouse cursor and instant casts the aoe there once you hit the aoe skill, instead of bringing up the green circle. It works as long as your cursor is over an in-range terrain.
Yeah. Having a game that doesn't suck tends to help things.
I think the GAF guild will work in this game. No factions or PvE and PvP servers to spit us apart. Plus the ability to join more than one guild so people can still have their hardcore guilds they run with if they want.

If you can be in multiple guilds, then I don't really see how a GAF guild would die.
Anyways, I'm ready for this game. I have 50/50 in my Hall of Monuments. I also made up my character names, since that will be a brick wall for me to actually play the game.

Tell that to the two SWTOR guilds still running strong...
Awesome news.... but is it weird that the first thing I think when I read that is that it would make casting AOEs on a console easier? If there was a stationary targeting reticule on-screen and the player changed it's position by using the two analog sticks like a First Person Shooter... could work.
Edit: HOLY SHIT, Quote dat monstrosity, Zero.
Edit 2: That's better. Nice work.
Holy shit. The UI has built in mouseover support?
Crap sorry didn't realize size until I hit post
I'd love to be in a guild with a cool dragon!
Not a huge gain compared to double clicking, and I suppose you'd lose the ability to ever use the circle as a range indicator. Nice to have the option but probably not worth it.
You have no idea how long I've been waiting for Bliz to put Mouseover/smartcasting into WoW so I don't have to keep wasting macros spots for it. >_>;
Once you get used to the size of each spell's targeting indicator, it would probably become second nature. More options is always a good thing, honestly, even if we never use 'em.
I'm secretly hoping they have a way to change character voices... that yippy female human... dunno how I'm gonna get used to it.
I might be misunderstanding you but there are no spells that can be cast on a targeted ally, all heals/buffs are some form of aoe.

Holy hell at those Ele spells...
Gamebreaker.com is having a live interview with Systems Designer Jonathan Sharp tonight at 6pm PST (roughly an hour from now); http://gamebreaker.tv/live
Edit: Ha, already 600 people watching.

Nice. I think I'm going to be rolling a female human elementalist (mostly cause I think girl mages look the coolest). I really loving the abilities here.
Some great Elementalist PVP gameplay:

Thanks for the link.
Anyone have any idea when the beta will be up or how many people will get in.
Nothing official, but I would guess "The first weekend in March" and "Not nearly enough."
Can we stop wasting our time with scrub classes and just post warrior skills?
[edit] Not sure why a GAF guild wouldn't work. Yeah, there have been some failures, especially for MMOs which are time consuming and often unbalanced, but there's a lot of really solid GAF gaming communities. TF2 GAF plays together pretty much every day and is growing. Halo GAF, SF GAF, and some others also seem to be really active. I know some GAFfers I'm going to play with on day one, can't wait.

This! lol
Though Guardian looks pretty tempting. Creating walls/trapping enemies is sick.
Oh my god. The footage outside/inside Divinity's reach starting at 4:00 brought a tear to my eye. I'm 100% picking human for my first race. That stuff looks like pre-searing on crack.
Sweet. I mentioned your suggestion to the wife and she wanted to know if, when we all 'group up', do we all put our Beta keys in a bowl and pick them out at random? I think that means she's into it, dude!
I've been hoping to see somebody drop one of the Ring spells and then have a bunch of people AOE into the center of it and create a Cylinder of Doom.
An unreal looking title.
I'm just so confused by what I'm watching. The ending was very smooth with little hitch. Though to be fair, it was a draw distance shot and wasn't busy. However, all the 360 panning was very janky. These scenes @ 60fps will be mind-blowing. Not sure about these caps though...
Have fun when everyone can basically blind spam and you have the worst condition removal in the game.
You're misunderstanding me. I'm referring to how I'm glad it's in Guild Wars 2 natively for all abilities it applies to. =p
Guildcast starts in a couple of minutes: http://www.gamebreaker.tv/live/
Starting in 4 Minutes, but don't go now, they're just playing godawful dubstep.
Hahaha, wub wub wub wub wub... gross.
Yeah it's pretty terrible
