  1. Thank you. A reward for your feedback: Please, please add "Luke" into the game with that voice line somewhere. I love him so much already! Brightened my DAY!Speaking with the Dev team now ;-P
  2. 100 percent not accurate. All these videos were made specifically for GW2 with the specific intention of bringing new players into our vibrant community.
  3. I talk to you guys because you're legitimately awesome. The excitement I feel from the community makes it so fun to share stuff early with all of you. :-)
  4. In all honesty, not if they are like that. This is not meant as disrespect to your work, but that trailer does not show GW2. It does not show what it is about, why people should play it or reflect pretty much anything about the game at all beyond over the top flashing coloured weapons. It's just a generic fantasy video with no meaning or context. If I saw that video as a non-player it wouldn't make me think I should investigate further. By all means make more videos, but make them relevant to the game Ever seen a League of Legends ad or cinematic? This is pretty much industry standard. Just show off something cool related to the game, not the game itself necessarily. Basically any mobile ad too lul I've seen them and ignored them. My twitter feed often gets such things to show me. If I see something that shows me bland, generic cgi footage, I don't investigate further. To me it shows that a company isn't confident enough in its product to show off their actual game or they lack the imagination to make something really creative that does reflect their game. I know Anet can produce better for this target audience because they made this; Now I normally wouldn't go for a full CGI trailer, but if they insist on that route , this at least communicates a snapshot of story and clearly is trying to bring out some of the flavour of the game. It would at least warrant me looking into it further. At the end of the day, if Anet want to put out basic, generic cgi trailers that are "industry standard", that's up them. I just think they're better than thatI love the standard you hold us to. We will release a plethora of assets to engage many different audiences. CG won't work on you and I am glad you are already a strong part of our community. Hopefully we engage some new players into our community.
  5. While considerable portion of the gaming community dislikes CG trailers and are in favor of gameplay footage, I don't think it's the case for the more casual audience. CG grabs the eye of that "outside" audience more effectively which is why it is mainly used in mainstream media promos (like tv ads). Personally, I'm fine with it (and this one specifically) as long as the campaign includes other promo material that has gameplay or in-engine scenes. Some of the most successful game trailers of all time have been purely CG after all. You get it :-) A reward for your brilliance:
  6. I like the first video; but I may be biased, enjoying playing GW2 as I do. And, yes, I'd love to see the other videos.Edit: Not that fond of the 'Black Citadel' video. Hard to understand the audio, and it seems to be a joke? Not sure non-players will understand... This page: https://welcome.guildwars2.com/en/play-guild-wars-2You might check the typo(s) before mass release. (Mega-battlesand) A reward for your feedback:
  7. I respect your POV. Hopefully the target audience, which is people who are not currently familiar with GW2 will find this enticing enough to give it a go. :-)
  8. Ok. Lets' play it safe first. I'm showing you a tourism ad. What do you think?
  9. Hi everyone. I am so glad you found this. It is a brand new CG piece made for our marketing blitz for the next few months. There are quite a few new videos and ads that will be going live. I hope you all enjoy them or at least can appreciate the intention of growing the GW2 community. Would you like to see the other videos? AnetHoGM CantStopWontStop
