Yep, he has done others as well.

When I first heard http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=2-_g8NZr1tA#t=50s of Skyrim's theme, my very first thought was the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8x9Az_7o_o

God, I miss Guild Wars :(

Hopefully I get to beta test GW2 :biggrin:
Wow, I don't see how I didn't catch that before.

This music is making me feel very nostalgic :P

The BETA sign up numbers are overwhelming.. 1 million within 48 hours is astonishing guess that press beta did its job and spread the word https://twitter.com/#!/GuildWars2/status/173105697049952256

I've played guild wars one for about 5 years, but I won't be continuing the saga onto GW2..

It kind of svcks, as the game looks alright, but I feel my connection isn't good enough to play on.

I don't know if they put down your modem type but I do expect them to do a ping/internet test to check connection so they can compare it if/when you fill out a performance survey

While I played Guild Wars 1, a small 'bubble' in the bottom right of your screen told you your ping.

I suggest to most of you to play Guild Wars one, as the whole collection can't be too much, and you can get some story in and a taste from the original.

On another note, you have a Hall of Monuments, where, you get rewards to use in the next game! My account has like, 31/50 points.

As the comments say in those videos, those are quite poor :(

Yogscast is doing each profession and aspects including WvW soon going in depth and total buscuit will be doing a TON of videos starting Monday or so.

Yeah, I'm mostly sticking to Yogscast and TotalBiscuit for videos. Both have good video quality, and Yogscast especially seems to do a good job at giving you a good taste of each class.

I actually just finished watching Yogscast's Necromancer spotlight, and it got me really thinking about making that my main. It kinda blew my mind that you can have all the pets out at once(though I wouldn't be surprised if that gets changed during beta). Now I'm stuck between Thief, Mesmer, AND Necromancer. :confused:

Well, to be fair, from what I saw the cooldown for the pet abilities only starts when the pets die, so it's not like you'd be able to have them all out constantly. But yeah, I expect it to be toned down. Stuff was going down pretty quickly with all the pets out.

The first http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyMRoB8Xff8&list=UUH-_hzb2ILSCo9ftVSnrCIQ&index=1&feature=plcp video from the yogscast is nice more parts to come as well.

Also should have seen Tera chat today (that pedo 12 year old chick lovers :P ) pretty much spam how GW2 svcks it was hilarious

TB managed to miss the first beta so he barely got any content out (hard to commentate recorded footage from co-worker), but he played the second one so we should be seeing a lot soon.

I couldn't find the GW1 thread even though I searched for Guild Wars....

So I'm posting in this one. I'm going to get back into GW1 for a bit to try and clean out some quests and maybe earn some Hall of Monuments stuff. If we have a BGSF guild or something, can you add Zamorack The Avatar?

I can play when not working (when I get a job) and when I'm not busy with the Minecraft server and whatnot.

So after an hour of hit, run and resurrect, I have finally defeated the Disc of Chaos. I am now staring down the Great Destroyer for the first time. Now to go kick his ass.

The Great Destroyer didn't give me nearly the amount of trouble that the Disc of Chaos did.

It also saddens me that the dervish skill Eternal Aura has been nerfed into a completely different skill. Doesn't even do the same thing! Avatar Lyssa was also changed into something completely different! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Yeah they adjusted a lot of skills over the past year or two. You should see the Elementalist.

That completely changes the way I play now. I have to redo my entire skillsets! :(

I am not a big MMO'er but I did have some fond memories of Guild Wars. I am considering Guild Wars 2 but got sick of following it for years and no release date.

Also, there will be a console version apparently:

THERE'S A CONSOLE VERSION...
