What hype??
@@TheRigity Don't question...
Is every class getting the spear?
@@neighkidhorse4930yes
IVE BEEN WAITING 10+ YEARS FOR HOUSING I CANT BELIEVE IT
You know about the scribe in guildhall right?
@@damyio674 it's not the same as having your own! DX
raven ! a man of culture i see
A new house for the retirement.
But why?
Is that a GRIZZLY BEAR KODAN?
YES
No, the real question is: is that a PLAYABLE Kodan?
@@ArkadiBolschek nah Tengu or nothing !
@@ArkadiBolschek absolutely not
Still neat tho
@@Laryon720 I wanted Tengu on Reddit and the em effers down voted me over 100 karma! WTF is wrong with people?!? Tengu or bust!
I started playing this game for the first time about 2 weeks ago. ~50 hours in, I pulled the trigger on buying every existing expansion because I'm absolutely loving it. I had literally zero idea coming into it that a new expansion was in the works, but it's awesome to see it!
Welcome!
Also new... me and a couple friends from work started playing last week together... we just bought the 2 first expansions that come together, and we are not even there yet... too much to discover and hyped for all that will still happen.... working on a good greatsword guardian build also hahaha
Welcome to tyria!
It's a great game, i ditched WoW for it over 10 years ago, you did a good purchase
It's an amazing game! been playing since beta in '04 of gws1, loved it ever since. totally worth buying everything for it and more! There's also 1-2 more expansions coming out (after this one, rumored) as well as GWS3.
And welcome to the game! :D
This is such a milestone for Guild Wars 2! Imagine if we start getting "Homesteads" to unlock across different locations in Tyria. I NEED my asura player housing ❤
shing jea house plz
I love this initial one, but I would also like a Kurzick style manor... gothic galore
More prefabs (not expansion stuck housing) including no buildings as well as building decorations to do what we want with our land.
I would really like a cosy Elonian home that I can decorate with 7 different types of rugs.
never understood the appeal of housing in games, but glad to see people happy with it
Homesteads are what i thought personal instances would be way back at launch.
Glad you guys are finally making the shift. It will finally feel PERSONAL.
My Charr has lived in a barracks for like ten years
From the blog about housing: Your journeys will lead you to your own homestead, an account-wide personal housing instance for you to develop as you complete its associated Mastery. Homesteads present you with an area of land and a permanent structure to cultivate, decorate, and share with your friends; you can also access nodes and unlocks you've acquired for your personal story home instance in your homestead. Before we launch on August 20, we'll be back to share loads more information and a look at Homesteads decorating.
So the story home instance is useless now?
@@robertwaremusic People without the exp pack will still use the character race home instance and anything story related. The homestead looks to be an upgrade to the old home instance, yes.
@@--Adam Makes sense.
So.... basically another home instance
@@benlee9409 Well, better. Much more customization options.
Super stoked. Love the art style and feel of this expansion. I feel the “wilds” concept coming to life with a touch of dread that bjora marches had. Player housing being added is DOPE, I hope we will be able to showcase all the unlockable trophies we’ve accumulated over the years. GW2 is not a dying game, this trailer is more than proof! LETS GO!!!
Edit: how can I forget to mention the MUSIC?! The opening sequence is beautiful, I feel the Scottish/gaelic/scandinavian vibes. We are in for a treat FAM!
If it's from Maclaine Diemer, he always makes wonderful Scandinavian/nornish musics
Who said it was dying lol?
@@DemethVLK He's a pretty underrated composer, imho! His stuff is always excellent.
@@zivaztian Lot of ppl are stating that lmao
@@natsudragneel3431 everytime im online there are many players and maps of engagement with other players. and i tend to log in past 10 pm. so even then i see lots of active players.
Tbh this is the first time a trailer hyped me. Seems really atmospheric and detailed. Bring me some Howling Fjord vibes, hopes this dont be ruin with a skyscale spam.
mounts have certainly negated the amazing atmosphere this game has to offer... if it was mounts off, it'd be fantastic.
If you guys don't like the mounts don't use them but don't force the rest of us not to use them because you don't want to
Bro you chose the buttons you push if you hate burning through a map on skyscale just dont use it.
Grizzly Hills but actually with Grizzlies :D
@@TheBirdsDen work on your reading comprehension bro.
IM SO EXCITED.
New raid content??? I would have lost that bet. AND RAID CONTENT OPEN TO OPEN WORLD PLAYABILITY???? I'm losing my mind.
The Grizzly Kodan look so fantastic and I love seeing the races expanded upon.
Janthir Wilds looks astounding. Gives me heavy Guild Wars 1 vibes. I can't wait to explore this wooded area.
I'm so happy to see some old characters come back! Anise and the leader of Ash Legion? LETS GO.
P L A Y E R. H O U S I N G.
I KNEW I MAXED OUT SCRIBE FOR A REASON. AAAAAAAAHHH. I absolutely cannot wait. I'm ready to jump back in, baby.
You scribes are about to get a fat payday from me with that Player Housing content. RIP my wallet lmao
ITS THAT TIME OF YEAR EVERYONE. GET HYPED 🔥🔥🔥
Choo choo!
Nah not for this...
@@damyio674 lmao Anet brings literally all the things players were asking for, and some dudes still find reasons to hate xD
@@gknucklezwell we live in a time where its "cool" to hate on things so just ignore these idiots
@@gknucklez tbh SotO was very, very disappointing, except for skyscale fireball and wizards vault it was 100% bad. Like ai generated story, weak characters, boring maps, meta events made for 5y olds...
As a javelin thrower and a gw1 paragon i finaly get to use spears again.
That's what i'm saying bro! Paragon were the OGs!
Seeing this expansion is totally giving me some EotN and Ascalon City Tyria vibes, might have to get over the different game mechanics and try to enjoy the expansion!
KODAN, KODAN, KODAN!!! *Screeeecccch* The area looks really great! Please, please, please raid!! The housing idea is alright. I hope there is a BOOK SHELF FOR ALL THOSE BOOKS THAT I DONT WANNA TOSS!!
Check the link in the description, it mentions raids
I've been playing since beta... every expansion I have prayed for housing...
I'd almost given up!
I'm literally sitting here crying!!!
Thank you ANET! THANK YOU!
I'm glad we seem so moving back towards core tyria again
same soto was very underwelming and unrelated to the lore of tyria besides the astral ward. Which left me dissapointed and uninterested in the story when the astral ward got less screen time.
@@slayer4932 they completely missed the mark after the first release. A shame because I actually had high hopes for it
@@ea3414 I liked it up to when Cerus got killed but when it became good demans vs bad demons the plot became so boring an uninteresting. I probably would have liked the xpac in its entirly if it was just about Zojja, the astral ward, and Cerus being the main villain. Eparch and Peitha are so bland and boring. Tbh the whole demon concept never interested me I didnt like it in Gyla Delve and neither here in soto.
CAITHE my beloved!!! She gets PLOT after Aurene! I love dragon daughter as much as anyone, but I'm ecstatic to see our beloved co-parent gets to have a story and life after her.
They had me at not "fighting floating, spiky, demon ball sacks in the upside down" if I'm being honest. HUGE W for Anet.
Lol couldn't have said it better myself
Fr. They could've done Nyos so much better, maybe given it actual buildings and points of interest...
When we asked for housing, dozens of people would come out the woodwork and bash it, speak in ArenaNet's name as to why "they" won't do it and that its no good, mockingly even. Well, look at us now! Ha! :D
😂👍
People did the same with mounts lolol.
@@Savoritas so true! lol
Don't get too excited. It's arenanet. I doubt there will be too much freedom with housing. Most likely "press F to build chair" as it was with literally everything else in home instances until now.
@@YoroifulFirst of all, Guild Halls already have full furniture placing and freedom, people build jumping puzzles, Beetle mount racing tracks, etc. Also "its arenanet" is actually biggest thing you could have said to get me excited, they didnt just do gliding, they did it proper, they didnt just do mounts, they did it proper, best mounts in MMORPG scene, they didnt just do fishing, they did it proper, with lots of achivements, items and even "boats". So we will be very excited, thank you very much :D
It's all the features and setting I've wanted for years packed into one announcement. I'm very much hyped.
Wow, so exiciting. So happy to be back on Tyria after SoTo.
same soto was very underwelming and unrelated to the lore of tyria besides the astral ward. Which left me dissapointed and uninterested in the story when the astral ward got less screen time. It sounds promising lore wise hopefully content and storywise its good. Soto was more of a QOL update than an xpac and as many say its like a living world season. Nothing grand in the scale of previous xpacs.
Will they remember to give the Janthir people Spanish names to finally explain Saul D'Alessio's and Doern Velazquez's names? Or are they from somewhere else unknown?
Saul is Krytan. Kryta is based on Spain. Been explained since Prophecies.
afair "beings with gift of true seeing" live in janthir. seems these kodans may be the ones.
@@Bokatisha1234 Kryta isn't based on Spain at all, it was based on South East Asia in Gw1 and then vaguely Europe in Gw2. Saul D'Alessio was in Kryta, but it was never said where he was born, whereas Doern Velazquez is explicitly not from Kryta.
@@Bokatisha1234 Kryta isn't only based on Spain, you have plenty of french and italian influences as well. ( I only speak for GW2, it was different in the first one).
For Doern I think his character was like an easter egg, a reference to something they planned but never released, Utopia. As the place wasn't supposed to be in Tyria but in the Mists, that could explain why he doesn't come from here.
Love the aesthetic of this expansion. Being out in the wilds with a land spear. Great energy, can’t wait!
Finally to Janthir!
VERY HYPED
TONS OF GW1 lore vibes!! I love the fact Tyria is such a mysterious world we know nothing, there's always a shadow of something bigger and more mysterious.
Just wondering, do the current developers ever feel embarrassed in their work when they compare the currently released content with Path of Fire or Heart of Thorns? What's being produced for the past two expansions-and here now in this upcoming one-looks like someone datamined all the GW2 assets and attempted to make a fan-made GW2, but with no knowledge or understanding of the artistry and uniqueness that made GW2 what it was. I truly wish the game had gone into maintenance mode after the end of LS4, maybe then I'd still be playing.
Lot of the old devs are long gone and replaced by people who literally are making terrible content at this point. I wish the end of LWS4 was the end of the game. I would have accepted it.
The music sounds great
My norn in Bearform: How do you do fellow Bear people!
They're kodan
It took over a decade but congratulations Commander on the deed to the house 🥹
When the best time to begin an established mmo is ... today.
Most big mmos are impossible to 'join in' 10+ years after launch.
This is what makes Guild Wars 2 so special.
player housing
(Skyrim feels)
All the shared inventory slots I have are from the expansions😎
Ever sicne GW1, a lot of us wanted to go to Janthir. Now it is finally off the Bucket List of place that GW1 players want to go.
i'm inviting you all to my house party🏠 bring your own water!
If CMC be my guest, they can have as much water on the house as they want!
u got beer?
We got bear.
Will bring my sylvari 🥗
That would be great!
Cmon guys, I know the studio is making lesser expansions now, but recycle mounts and weapons and still charge for that is not what Gw2 used to be..
This looks so exciting! 😍😍
Hype train goes CHOCHOOOOO!! 🎉
There's countess Anise, I am preordering right now🥵😍
Hyped! Full of good additions & content! ❤Gonna pre-order now.
OMG i've passed the last week wondering if it was raids or housing and comes out IT IS BOTH!! I'm so happy!
Just returned to the game yesterday and had no idea the next expansion was already here. I stopped before end of dragons released. Boy I've got some things to relearn lmao
ah same ! im so lost
So hyped! It's beautiful! Housing is right down my street with the rustic decorations!
I'm excited. A new weapon is never something to sneeze at and we get it on all profession's.
As for me I'm also excited for the Warclaw to get some love. It's a highly underrated mount.
So far from what I see the story is going to involve us dealing with a new clan of Kodan, potentially Titans( super hype for this), housing and new legendary spear and backpack.
Mastery lines are what I think at least: homestead, probably spear usage, something with the Warclaw( similar to the turtle and skyscape), and something that will be expac specific.
Overall happy to see some of the old NPCs back and happy to explore more of Tyria.
Please please please please make sure the weapon animations and sounds are complete this time. Elementalist pistol still lacks a muzzle-flash, among other things, and alt sounds on weapon skins do not work like they do with every other profession.
I'm glad we are back on a more classic fantasy setting
Big POGs for the new features!
Can't wait for August!
Housing, spears, warclaw, raids. Good stuff.
and 2 leggys
A new map player housing AND a new weapon! GW2 out here making moves
Also, a new utility for the Warclaw outside of WvW. Not sure what it will do, but we're getting a new PvE skill for it.
+Raids, leggy spear and leggy backpack!
Can I add golden sinks to my new house?
Maybe, There will be A LOT of cool things the pay to win community will be able to get.
the last 2 exp packs look very weak I don't know if it's worth buying
'"This Place... It's stunning" Right...
Honestly, I couldn't care less about player housing. I'm playing this game to explore the world and go on adventures.
Nice for those who have been waiting for it though, I guess.
Remember when Anet dropped outstanding cinematics?
They dropped the side by side "cinematics". Not these cut scene ones. It was a how they could produce Living World episodes at a steady pace.
You really complaining?
Decided to take a break from this game 6 months ago, excited to play it again after seeing this trailer.
However, Arena Net decided to block my account for no reason. Try to find out and ask my friend who is still actively playing, he said all players from our country are blocked. I play in SEA, Indonesia 8 years playing & about 4000+ hours playing. If by any chance Arena Net sees this, Arena Net you gay AF.
Cry me a river. Thats what you get from buying RMT gold.
Know what would be an even bigger win for GW2? Letting us play as some of the amazing other races in the game.
I just hope there will be less filler content in this expansion. Like less "complete events to fill this progress bar"...I hope we get more substantive missions.
Finally!! Player owned houses!!!! Gonna build a gilded altar in mine!
To train prayer?
You bring the bones okay?@@ryuzakikazeshini4012
after you drop 200-500 euros yeah you surely will
All Glory to the Hand of Truth!
@@CloudMV You don't even get what I was referencing, hunty. Sit.
Like the more realistic approach here very much. Hope we got some Tribalish skins :3
I'm hoping for the same, maybe with some warpaint or a few tattoo options to go along with it? :D
They have finally figured it out.
Story mode raid will be available on release as a 50 player convergence. Then there will be a standard 10 player instance comming with patch #1. Challenge mode with patch #2 and legendary difficulty with patch #3.
Also personal homes we can decorate and a new weapon on release. There's something for everyone.
*Will GW3 come out so all of this becomes defunct?
*Is the open world still too easy?
*Is the combat still such that it doesn't matter which order the buttons are pressed?
Hello. I would like to preorder Guild Wars 3. I am offering 59,99€. Looking forward to hearing back from you❤
Firs...DANGIT
Remeber first are last Mukluk.
move along
there was an attempt
I hate how this MMO is criminally underrated.
it would have been more popular if anet knew how to market their game.
@@slayer4932 I keep hearing that. They need a new PR team TBH. If wow dies it’s going to be a hard pick for me between this and FF14
I don't think wow will ever die.
@@vane909090 well in terms of quality WoW is dead. All blizzard does now is copy other mmos and hardly offer original content in WoW modern. Classic WoW is a different story, that’s a blast.
It used to be underrated. The new dev team has changed so much it's barely distinguishable from all the other MMO slop that comes out these days.
Hell yeah! so hyped for this world setting! Also maybe new changes to WvW or atleast a change to the mount might be interesting. Either way im hyped for this!
Good job Anet!
I really hope they reduce the number of reused assets this time around, it was horrible last time.
If anything....it will be almost all reused.
Titans from gw1 are already reused assets. They are destroyers and jade golem from EoD... Nothing similar to the old ones from the first game
They don't even have the artists to make new assets, let alone the ones of a quality that could math Path of Fire or Heart of Thorns lol.
PLAYER HOUSING IS FUCKING REAL I CAN'T BREATHEEEEEEEE
I really hope we get something new to WvWvW.
Pretty hyped about the map design here, looks more like Drizzlewood Coast again than Cyberpunk-Tokyo or "copy-paste marble palace with walls way too high for my skyscale", nice!
Also player housing? Pog! Finally :D
Now if ATs had 2v2, 3v3, etc in rotation and unranked PvP had more gold rewards beyond the reward track that would be nice :3
Can we get gw3 yet
Wow that's a lot of stuff people have been asking for.
The magic of GW2's trailers is that except for the hype about the new things coming out, there is no disappointment because the ingame will always look better than the trailers / announcements do xD
The music for the trailer was composed by Bryan Atkinson and it features Nyckelharpa played by Erik Rydvall (credited for: Loki, God of War, The Witcher and more).
Some graphical update pleaseeeee?
This game is showing its age and sorely needs a graphical update :(
It's about time we got land spear weapons. This opens up a ton of possibilities for players. My warrior and ranger have been dying for good spear access. Good job ANet.
Player housing is cool and all but if you're only going to be doing mini expansions going forward you need to put a lot more effort into the trailer and promotion. Any outside player looking in on this isn't gonna be impressed at all. The reveals for the first 3 expansions were so much better and its not just because there was more in them, the presentation was just on another level. If you slack on that presentation it just makes an already small expansion look smaller.
Did that one throw a spear?! Paragon!
Its landspears, or at least the spears from underwater combat
@@SahkenI think he meant he threw a spear! Like paragon did! Paragon fantasy fulfilled
Yessss
And it looked freaking amazing!
Was that an elementalist using the landspear?
Is this full on expansion, or small dlc like the last one?
Isn't an expansion DLC?
It’s the same as SOTO, that is the new model ArenaNet is going by for the foreseeable future.
Small scale expansion where content is added over time in small pieces.
They won’t do expacs like HOT, POF, and EOD anymore. They didn’t have the people to work on expansions and Living World Stories back-to-back.
Anet also lost some longtime devs and the new ones were learning things anew.
Not a good look for Anet’s future, but the playerbase is mostly financially invested by now so it’ll carry them for a bit longer!
@@judgedrago1143 Yeah but so is a skin for league of legends. It's an expansion which defines what kind of DLC it is. Calling everything DLC just makes it confusing. EDIT: And Expansions and DLC were not the same when they first appeared, not at all. They were two separate things.
YES YES YES. Finally a home system! I've always said that's one of the major things missing aside from fishing and that was implemented flawlessly! I'm always in awe at the creativity and attention ya'll put in, thank you! Can't wait to build, hopefully there's the ability to add crafting stations, vendors, and a farm!
So good! Expansion hype!
Still the best and most friendly MMO
Let's go!
Player housing is even compatible with home instance nodes?? this is AWESOME!! What if in the future we'll see building in other parts of the world being unlockable as "homes" or changed like with Guild Halls?? Can't wait, this expansion seem to have a load of things: looking good!
Omg an own home love it if they add an music player so you can every song from guild 1 2 and all expansions I am going to grind that house
*Wilds of Janthir
Finally, wing 8
time to finally try wings 6-7
OMG Janthir! I'm officially hyped, haha. We were just talking in Auric Basin a few hours ago about how we had no expectations or expected to be disappointed, but going to Janthir is a great idea!! The music seems great too.
Homesteads are unexpected to me but I love the idea! I wonder how they are going to work together with home instances. Hype is on, Anet!
sheeesh these animations look f-tier. did you loose your entire team? O_o
You kidding, the spear rotation behind the head to reposition was EVERYTHING
Ranger leap was rough tho yeah
@@DemethVLK the ranger leap and the spear explosive throw were both horrible. I hope they rework those.
And I may be additionally harsh because I dislike playerhousing. It makes no sense in a MMO (MASS MULTIPLAYER) to focus on a place for myself. I have this in skyrim already, and we even have our player instances in cities already. We really don't need anymore of this :(
It's a red flag for me to hear some of the people speaking so slowly in this trailer. That was one of my biggest gripes with "Secrets of the Obscure"-it felt as if everyone wanted to pause after every word and each vowel was hung onto for dear life while nearly all major NPCs present in that expansion waxed poetry, all made worse by the persistent info/trauma-dumps from characters I was never given any real motivation to care about. I really hope that's not too consistent through the Janthir Wilds story. I like the aesthetic of this expansion already, though! There's a lot going on with the wildlife, fauna, flora, and magic creatures :D I am pleased with the scenery, and it looks worth while for just that alone. Anet killing all competition with their freshest after so many years? Say it ain't so.
Complain about something else this doesn't matter
@@GBEWgw2 Says you with "gw2" in the nickname lmao
@@missk1697 again complain about something that matters.
@@missk1697 based
End of Dragons was weak storywise as compared HOT and POF. Didn’t bother with SOTO yet, but seems the general consensus is that it’s just “okay”..
This trailer isn’t really selling much besides a vague sense of some sort of pervasive danger.
In fairness, this may just be a teaser trailer and not a full one.
Anet has gone through some tumultuous times and I’ve enjoyed it well enough since those Pre-Searing days in Ascalon.
It does seem that the game may be in its twilight period though.
New bear race would be amaaaazing
I really loved gw2 before all the power/feature creep. HoT was the last great expansion full of interesting map designs and you had to really learn the maps and figure out the glider routes. The metas were fun and interesting and the raids were hard at the start. I feel like modern gw2 is bloated with power creep, utility creep and a whole bunch of useless masteries and not to mention mounts that let you travel anywhere without any real thinking... well they basically made the same mistake as WoW did when they introduced flying mounts which completely trivialized the game.
The problem with this expansion is that we dont have any real nostalgia towards isle of janthir because we never been there lol. There was a little minipet in GW1 called Eye of Janthir, but apart from that no one really knows anything about it lol. To me it just looks like more copy pasted assets and more boring white mantle story lines. Its just not interesting anymore.
LET'S GOOOOOO
If my home don't look like it's in the Grove, i'm not interested.
Oh god the environment looks so good. Really relaxing. Cannot wait for the expansion!
This game is really starting to show it's age now.
Enjoy GW2, GW3's being delveoped, allegedly. So we might see a beta in 2-3 years. I can easily see a launch 5 years from now. At least they're working on it; compare th at to world of warcraft and ffxiv who are scared of making a sequel.
The game's engine is so dated, you can have a R7 7800X3D + RTX 4090 and your game will still lag on max settings. I'm not joking, look it up on youtube.
dont see any need of gw3.
I will play it, but the trailer quality is really bad...
Finally back to the Guild Wars topic.
Environment is giving me Skyrim vibes, creatures are giving me GW1 vibes. 10/10.
