@@bryanmurray1892 Sorry, I didn't know English wasn't your first language 😔 You said that I haven't played the expansion, and I said you haven't played the expansion too.

The idea behind this expansion is so good. There is some deeper, darker secret behind jade tech and how it is used in the empire that isnt exactly what it seems. Fantastic! Cant wait to master the jade bots too :)
Maybe the jade has a unique property of being inhabited by souls of the dead, which might explain why it looks like a rift to the realm of torment is opening up at the end
@@brianderrick5489 I was thinking something along those lines or it is a situation where "technology running rampant" was misused and things went bad....or it is something more fundamental, lets remember jade is a byproduct of releasing some of the darkest magic from Shiro Tagachi's rituals before assassination of the Canthan Emperor. Jade is green, but the thing that made it is "foulest magic". Old GW1 cinematics kinda show the explosion that caused jade wind as far as I remember.
@@dradamov you're thinking of the factions trailer where shiro tagachi got mirked but let out the death wail but yeah the dark source of the magic having a innate effect of being attuned to sinister forces would make sense

This looks pretty good so far! If I'm honest I am kind of underwhelmed by some of the aesthetic choices, for example the jade tech just being green crystal magic. Looking forward to the release!
YES. This is it people! 4 tiny little weeks left and we finally get to play, I'm sooo hyped it's gonna be amazing! Awesome work on the trailer, didn't know it was possible, but now I'm even MORE hyped than I already was :o
The trailer is great. One thing I cannot is why the soundtrack beginning at 1:05 is not pulled longer and suddenly moves to some wombo combat at 1:13 instead of letting it resonate, it's the most phenomenal track in the trailer, why end is so soon.
Underwater beastie! Also interested to see how the people of Cantha take to Aurene a good elder dragon & what the swirling purple stuff is :O SO MANY QUESTIONS!
Of course it's releasing the day I go back to work after a week of holidays where I COULD have been playing it, but I guess they aren't just thinking of me. Lol! This looks like a great trailer! I'm so excited!
Unpopular opinion, I think that looks very average. Cyberpunk kind of vibe, that Asura villain looks anti-charistmatic, textures now look bad for 2022, aetherblades coming back like... Why? Just killed 2 elder dragons, I think we should manage. I'll admit I'm curious about monumental large scale events though. Won't pre-order and wait to know more before I purchase this one...
textures look bad for 2022.... Remember that the game started development in 2006, on a modified version of the engine for Guild Wars 1, a game that released in 2005
Same. Looks massively dated and the colors are bland and appear unfinished. The only expansion in Guild Wars history that I thought was lacking artistically. I also can't get excited about most of the "new features" they've advertised. What is exciting here? "New ways to travel!" "New turtle mount!" "You can glide better!" How does ANY of that matter when we have skyscales and griffons?
Conspiracy theory time: Bubbles/Steve was disguised as Taimi all this time. That's why she was so obsessed with killing the elder dragons: she wanted their magic. Now the last battle is going to be between Taimi and Aurene.
This expansion takes the game to a new level. I'm hyped and can't wait to explore Cantha with friends. The expansion brings people and guilds together again. Great Job!!!
@@mrozzdude watch the guildchat and read what some Special Guests write about an Event which they could test with the new Mount. The New Events will need Guilds or Friends who play together. And other little things are coming that change massive the open World. Also the new Storyline could be great for more Content with other new Opponents to fight. It’s not an Ending it’s a beginning of something big 🔥
From a GW2 fan, believing it is probably my personal favorite MMO of all time because of the game mechanics not locking you in place to cast abilities like most other MMO's and winning not being locked behind a pay wall like in Black Desert, I have to say while the video looked cool, I'm really not all that "hyped" nor did I get "goosebumps" or "giddy" watching it. I'm not sure how some people here are that hyped. It really didn't look all that amazing to be honest. But then again, I watched the original Anthem trailer for around 4 years being hyped with goosebumps for it. So maybe I'm just not the right type of nerd to get that excited about an MMO expansion after having played things like WOW and FF14 my whole life. I never got hyped for those expansions either.

Not even a single mention in the entire trailer about WvW content. "Cornerstone". :Kappa. Still, I hope that with this expansion they will work on what was promised with wvw.

@@catmanbig7494 Imagine not putting content about a gamemode that you consider "cornerstone" and where you are also working on an alliance system + refreshing rewards and adding new things to be more competitive. Btw, they already put it in the HoT trailer a feature about wvw content announcing new map. So this would not be the first time if they had done so.
@@HelloMrAudio Unlike you, I am very negative already. 1 new meaningless feature and a couple (not so) flashy trailers...? That's all it took to win you people over?! 5 years between expacs. 10 fucking years since we heard a dev saying "Cantha" with a smile, and THIS is the expac they're handing us....Fishing and recycled features. Granted, The Siege Turtle looks nice but none of this is new content which gw2 needs REALLY badly to get new players to stay.
i really wanna play...has anyone gotten passed the "There was an unspecified error. Please try again." when trying to make an account. how can i get passed that.
there was not even a single moment i was sceptic about the new expansion… when i first heard about the cantha comeback i was like ‚no way this cant be real‘ and now it‘s only four weeks away and the hype hits so hard i got no words for that! Anet never disappointed me with Guild Wars. In my opinion it IS the best MMORPG. Thank You
@@critical-thinker666 i first got my hands onto GW when i was 11 years old and today i am at the age of 27 and i still enjoy it a lot and so far i never had the feeling of missing conent because i always find something to do in this beautiful game. Its just up to your self what ‚content‘ is good for you and how you enjoy the game by yourself… ;)
@@xCMaDCat well there are ppl still enjoying diablo 1 bud,that doesnt mean that most ppl whoud even considered playing that old garbage =) Anet provided 0 hype and only new thing is fishing. I know that some ppl considering doing same thing every day as "fun" but for 90% its not the case. last balance patch 2 years ago,last content patch 2 years ago.... you will not attract new ppl like this.
@@critical-thinker666 I agree with you here. It seems like anet's strategy is to consolidate older/current players rather than gaining new ones. They're hoping the name Cantha will bring back old players AND keep the current players, which it will for a time, and then the old players will leave again because there's no new features keeping them there. The only way this ends well for them is if they follow up EoD with a living story that DOES add new features. Probably not happening though.
Nothing for wvw, 0 new gamemodes nothing for pvp, no gvg arena, eotm still bugged. Elite specs dogshit in wvw. Yea really epic guys keep working on what shade of green you want to use for the golems.
Cool, basically an ancient Asian motif design In particular, there are many images of ancient Korea (South Korea), especially the designs of the empress's clothes, gacha (head decoration), and the soldiers' armor designs. The architectural style may look similar to Asian architecture to Westerners, but in fact, they are all different. And this is the ancient Korean architecture. Especially the green golem used everywhere seems to be made of jade, and one more thing, this area feels like it was designed with the sea floor, which was inspired by the dragon palace (the palace where the oriental gods in the same position as Poseidon live). same. You can also see the costume designs of the police officers. It's difficult for me to enjoy it because it doesn't serve South Korea, but please enjoy it. thanks. (It's a translator, so please understand)
Nope. this build not Korean architecture. source GW2 GW WIKI Cantha is heavily based upon Eastern Asia and its cultures. Cantha's name may have been derived from the name Canton, a country subdivision of China, or the word Cathay, an alternate name for China. In Guild Wars Factions, the Empire of the Dragon was inspired by a blend of different Asian cultures. Kaineng City may be a reference to Kaifeng 开封, a major ancient capital of several dynasties. The design of Kaineng City was inspired by Kowloon Walled City.【43】九龍寨城
@@AssAssiN05GW Yes, the overall design is a mix of ancient Asian cultures. I am listing elements borrowed from ancient Korea. If the elements you mentioned came from China, you're probably right. But that doesn't mean that the elements I said are wrong ^^

Granted, The Siege Turtle looks nice but none of this is new content which gw2 needs REALLY badly to get new players to stay.
i really wanna play...has anyone gotten passed the "There was an unspecified error. Please try again." when trying to make an account. how can i get passed that.
Multiple reasons for this one. Try different mails and browsers.
Good features trailer. Now, a proper cinematic one for release?
Cool trailer. Finally some marketing. But it took till now to tell us the release date?
Can't wait to use my Jadetech bazooka to blast a salmon back to Orr
I’ll wait for the reviews as usual.
there was not even a single moment i was sceptic about the new expansion… when i first heard about the cantha comeback i was like ‚no way this cant be real‘ and now it‘s only four weeks away and the hype hits so hard i got no words for that!
Anet never disappointed me with Guild Wars.
In my opinion it IS the best MMORPG.
Thank You
It disappointed me a little sometimes, but I still give them a solid 9/10. Which is the best I've given to any mmo.
you realize that we had no new content 18 months? :DDDDD
and only new thing is fishing? ok than
@@critical-thinker666 i first got my hands onto GW when i was 11 years old and today i am at the age of 27 and i still enjoy it a lot and so far i never had the feeling of missing conent because i always find something to do in this beautiful game.
Its just up to your self what ‚content‘ is good for you and how you enjoy the game by yourself… ;)
@@xCMaDCat well there are ppl still enjoying diablo 1 bud,that doesnt mean that most ppl whoud even considered playing that old garbage =)
Anet provided 0 hype and only new thing is fishing.
I know that some ppl considering doing same thing every day as "fun" but for 90% its not the case.
last balance patch 2 years ago,last content patch 2 years ago.... you will not attract new ppl like this.
@@critical-thinker666 I agree with you here. It seems like anet's strategy is to consolidate older/current players rather than gaining new ones. They're hoping the name Cantha will bring back old players AND keep the current players, which it will for a time, and then the old players will leave again because there's no new features keeping them there.
The only way this ends well for them is if they follow up EoD with a living story that DOES add new features. Probably not happening though.
How do I make the game look like on the video? looks like they use reshade or something, cuz even on full graphics it doenst look like that :/
This trailler is actually HYPE Poggers !
Was about bloody time...
I havn't even build up hype yet with the expansion so close to Release...
SO EXCITED. Running to get a day off now! Here I come Cantha. 🏃♀️
Releasing the day after my birthday! Best. Present. Ever.
I want to play it now. It looks Amazing! 😊
the expansion's logo indicates the appearance of the water elder dragon

Like the EoD Commander outfit, I want his hat lol
Great job, Anet! This is a fantastic trailer :) I'm excited to explore Cantha.
*Fingers crossed for playable Tengu race*
Cool, basically an ancient Asian motif design
In particular, there are many images of ancient Korea (South Korea), especially the designs of the empress's clothes, gacha (head decoration), and the soldiers' armor designs.
The architectural style may look similar to Asian architecture to Westerners, but in fact, they are all different. And this is the ancient Korean architecture.
Especially the green golem used everywhere seems to be made of jade, and one more thing, this area feels like it was designed with the sea floor, which was inspired by the dragon palace (the palace where the oriental gods in the same position as Poseidon live). same. You can also see the costume designs of the police officers. It's difficult for me to enjoy it because it doesn't serve South Korea, but please enjoy it. thanks. (It's a translator, so please understand)
Nope. this build not Korean architecture.

Cantha is heavily based upon Eastern Asia and its cultures.
Cantha's name may have been derived from the name Canton, a country subdivision of China, or the word Cathay, an alternate name for China.
In Guild Wars Factions, the Empire of the Dragon was inspired by a blend of different Asian cultures.
Kaineng City may be a reference to Kaifeng 开封, a major ancient capital of several dynasties.
The design of Kaineng City was inspired by Kowloon Walled City.【43】九龍寨城
@@AssAssiN05GW Yes, the overall design is a mix of ancient Asian cultures. I am listing elements borrowed from ancient Korea. If the elements you mentioned came from China, you're probably right. But that doesn't mean that the elements I said are wrong ^^
Heck yeah, let’s go babyyyy! Cantha, here we come!
The release date fits soooo perfect into my schedule
