That PvP systems video has definitely caught my interest. The major thing that put me off from World of Warcraft is the amount of time it required to get the good items. This made it hard to enjoy the PvP aspect of it. I'm glad that Guild Wars 2 focuses on skill and not what items you have for PvP.

Eh, I was hoping by seeing this thread up on page 1 again that that meant something new was talked about somewhere. Instead it was just a video of a guy going over what we already knew.

Don't get me wrong though, i do like that a.net is smarter than, say.... blizzard is at handling pvp. It's just that i want details about it that we don't already know.

GW is pretty unique in that there really aren't any games that are pretty similar to it.

Okay, I was just curious because I was once told it's like WoW but don't have to pay to play online.

If you were really interested you would start at Guildwars2.com

Due to being deployed, and on a haji network, they block access to this website.

This has always been the case with Anet. They have a PvP Version of the game because of this. Items do not matter.

I'm really looking forward to both PvP variants but in particular World PvP has caught my eye. I have been waiting for a realm PvP where players can actually claim locations for themselves and allows the community to sculpt part of the world themselves. This may be my next MMO.

Btw, have they announced the payment method of the game. Is it the same as Guild Wars was?

It's time for the 7th Professions it seems.

Honestly, i'm unsure what to say about it atm.

It looks completely out of range of what I'd expect in this game. Definitely not interested in this class. Quite disappointed, it's just a 'shooting' class, very bland looking to me.

I don't like that they're brought guns into it. Much prefer a bow & arrow ranger, magic and thief styles.

I don't get the gun hate. Do people just expect a world to stand still for 250 years and not advance anywhere?

You don't have to play with a gun if you don't want.

Where have they said you can purchase in game items? Like actual items with stats on them? You can't do that in GW1.

I'm not too sure about buying items like that, but the GW1 store is much more than just character slots - it's skill packs, heros that look like one of your characters, costumes, cosmetic items etc.

One thing that we know the GW2 store will have is transmutation stones - lets you transfer the stats of an item to a different skin.

    • YouTube has finally brought back its DMs feature, but only in these countries

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      YouTube has finally brought back its DMs feature, but only in these countries by David Uzondu Late last year, YouTube started testing a "new" way to share videos directly with friends, without having to leave the app. Now, the video giant has announced that is now rolling out a revamped direct messaging inbox, which lets you share videos, Shorts, and live streams and have conversations about them, directly on YouTube. The platform limits this feature to 18+ users who are signed in to a verified channel and use the latest mobile app version. Direct messaging on YouTube first became a thing back in 2017 inside the mobile app (later renamed to "Messages"), where users could chat one-on-one and share clips directly, but all that came to an end on September 18, 2019, when Google decided to shut it down after giving users a month to download a .zip file archive of their past chats. No one really knows why YouTube killed the feature, but users were encouraged to migrate to the public Comments section, on Community tab posts, and via YouTube Stories. The previous incarnation suffered from moderation challenges, prompting Google to implement stricter safety guidelines and age verifications for this new iteration. Here's a list of the countries where the re-launched feature is currently available, though note that Brand Accounts do not have access to it, at least for now: Countries American Samoa Austria Belgium Brazil Bulgaria Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Greece Guam Hungary Iceland Ireland Italy Latvia Liechtenstein Lithuania Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Northern Mariana Islands Norway Poland Portugal Puerto Rico Romania Singapore Slovakia Slovenia Spain Sweden Switzerland U.S. Virgin Islands United Kingdom United States Before you can use the feature, you first have to send an invite link to your contact. Invite links expire exactly seven days after you create them. If the person on the other end accepts the invite, you can exchange videos directly and text back and forth inside the app. To delete a message, just long-press on the message and tap unsend to remove it for both users. You can also delete entire conversations by long-pressing the thread and selecting delete, but the other person will continue to see the chat history on their end. To make sure everything remains safe, YouTube monitors these messages to ensure they follow Community Guidelines.
    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By WaltC · Posted

      The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...

      Is it still super slow or has it improved on that area?
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 finally stops trusting a critical system threat

      By NXTwoThou · Posted

      There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
