NCSoft and Arena.Net will be treating members of the press to a Guild Wars 2 beta event in the near future. MMORPG.com is one of the lucky attendees and we will have full beta previews, news and articles for our readers on February 20th. That's all we can say...for now. ;) Let the buzz begin!

    Why do I write, create, fantasize, dream and daydream about other worlds? Because I hate what humanity does with this one.

    BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.

    I haven't been following this game that much, but from all the hype I can't wait to see the articles. I do love the artistry of what I've seen and I like the risk taking I hear all about, so looking forward to seeing how this all unravels and learning more about it in great detail. :-)

    Wishful thinking :)

    Although I've done quite a bite of writing on games in the past I don't think mmorpg needs more staff.

    Very excited! Not as good as getting into beta, but at least it will bring us a lot more information. :)

    I never judge a game until I play it. Anything else is just a waste of time.

    Agreed. Please give us the bad with the good, if there is any "bad" to be found.

    Good to hear, but for the love of gaming don't softball the reviews like you did for SWTOR.  We deserve to know the truth, good or bad, about the game.

  • XthosXthos Member UncommonPosts: 2,739

    I hope the WvWvW system delivers.....Hard to get too excited anymore, with the releases of the last 4.5 years...

     

  • xenogiasxenogias Member Posts: 1,926

    The reviews will be based on the monitary encouragement as usual. Its expected though. Regardless I look forward to seeing waht the press has to say. Basically if you see "This is amazing" it means that system is pretty good. If you see "We liked this" it means the system is average and if you see "This was pretty good though nothing new" or something to thoes terms it means its crap imo.

    I may be a GW2 fan, but I completelly agree with this. If there are bad things you find about the game, and REAL ones (not the stupid "It doesn't make full sense to me"), be sure to take notes and tell us! You probably will tell Arena-net too!

    Anyway, gratz and have fun! =)

    Hey, man. If you've got a great article idea, pitch us! You never know. :)

    I agree with you here.  Though I may be an avid supporter of GW2 what the devs are trying to achieve. If something doesn't feel right about the game, then tell us MMORPG.com. If WvWvW turns into at 5 fps slideshow, with over 100 players on screen or the Dynamic Events become monotonous, then tell us.
