Here is some footage shot at the Guild Wars Factions World Championships in Leipzig, Germany. This was aired in the US.

Good way of promoting your MMO?

Thanks for this. I picked up Guild Wars the other day. It's pretty fun so far but I'm a little anxious to jump into the pvp.

You won't be jumping into anything in GW.

Good one!

A game without the jump feature just isn't the same =/

darrin · 05-25-2007, 10:30 AM

the jump comment is 10/10

Jubee · 05-25-2007, 10:33 AM

Yeah the lack of jumping is a little annoying, but it's cool seeing the diversity of the builds at high level of play. Much better than WoW's "You are a pally? You are 41/20/0 or gtfo" style.

Anybody else play? I'm not sure I want to go in solo, and I'm especially not sure of spending $90 on expansions to play solo and find out I don't like it.

In Soviet Russia you do not jump in Guild Wars, Guild Wars jumps on you!

It's the only mmo i've played relatively often for the last few years. I love the multi build setup.

I haven't had time to mess with it in the last few months though (mostly due to eve). I'm still working on nightfall

Zarcath · 05-25-2007, 10:48 AM

Lack of jump really makes the game unenjoyable SP, areas are way too linear and a bitch to explore.

But not to bitch about GW, it's nice to see game tournies getting more exposure US. What station was it on? G4?

heh, i know everyone has their own opinions and crap, but the lack of jumping being a big factor really boggles my mind. It's an illusion of freedom zones in WoW, eq, etc are crafted in such a way to either let you go some where, or not let you go some where. exactly like in GW (though admittedly, the GW zone designers do some times build things a little on the tight side). CoH is the only mmo i've played where jumping and moving around was actualy meaningful.

Mist · 05-25-2007, 11:16 AM

It's not just the lack of jumping, its the fact that players follow mob pathing. There is no illusion of freedom at all, its unnaturally restrictive.

... · 05-25-2007, 12:06 PM

You can WASD like any other mmo. though i frequently just lazy up and hit space bar on my target to get to them. Though when warrior-ing, it's very important to body block mobs, and that takes a good bit of manual placement.

Kaylena · 05-25-2007, 12:13 PM

How do you play this game? I don't see any combat controls on the UI in Video #1. Granted, that's all I watched because those are really long. What am I missing? It seems unlike anything I've seen or maybe I just can't see it on my screen?

you use asdf to move, map a key to target ,tab through targets. hit space to auto attack (and to move within range of your auto attack. be it ranged, wand, or melee). hit 1-8 (or click the buttons) to activate the skills. You can click to move like WoW. f1-4 change weapons.
