seriously my fav. mmorpg. the lore, the art, the game play all of it has heart and soul. Something that alot of games lack. It just takes my breathe away with its innovation. GW2 forever.
the original forsaken world, they have vampires, stone titans, dwarf people, animal people, etc. Dont get me wrong, i love gw2 but i can find some mmos with the same number of races or more that are distinctive and unique enough
This MMO catched my soul. It is my daily heroic moment. The endless fight against the dragons! Questing, hunting, crafting, farming, and it's never to easy. Every fight is a new challenge. So many possibilities to fight with just one class! The powerfull company my guild give me... Me and my friends against the evil of the world. Month for moth new content, new storys, new enemies, new armor, new weapons... I LOVE GUILD WARS 2!
I have to admit, having played WoW as long as I did then coming to Guild Wars 2 I honestly was overwhelmed with a sense of culture shock. It was as it this MMO took everything that lacked from others and made a perfect game. I've been hooked on GW2 since I started and I'm loving every second of it.
Fun to see UA-cam recommend this old video and even more fun to look back and remember all the scenes and enemies in it : ) Back playing GW2 and enjoying the improvements they've made since this vid was first posted!
I get bored of games very easily and I'm happy to say this is the only game I've been able to play every day for an extended period of time in years. I had tried Guild Wars 2 before, and couldn't get into it but for some reason this time it just clicked. Just got my first 80 yesterday. :D
i am glad you play this game , iv had the same experience and it didint click cuz at that time i was used to certain way of playing mmos and guild wars was so different , but as i tries it for the second time i couldnt stop been playing for 2 years and i have 11 charactera and i love the community and i am in love wirh the game !
Amazing year of Guild Wars 2! Thank you so much for all the love and care you have put into the game and the community!! Keep it rolling for many more years to come!
You two have very distinct ideas of what skill means..and none of them are wrong.I had much less success doing PvP in GW2 than I did in WoW because it requires me to plan my very limited load-out before knowing what I'm up against, reacting appropriately, accurately and be mindful of my surroundings and resources.You can compensate in WoW by getting more powerful items; so it's an easier concept to grasp despite its multitude of subtleties in planning and reaction.Two games, different execution.
Living World season 3 just started.... There is new Content, you can enjoy. pudgeypigeon I don't play pvp, but i unterstand you (if you are a pvp only player) It's not that exiting.
weissnicht01 | Nicky_Zocking I enjoy LW stuff, but I feel like I couldn't find interest in it again. I think the drought was too much for me. At least legion is here, I went back to WoW.
Guild Wars 2... THIS ! IS ! THE ! GAME ! that every gamer should see! I enjoy every time I play it, it is like this company was inside of my head and found what I love about games... I also play world of warcraft for 9 years already and ofcoarse wow is greatest mmo and it gives me a LOT of fun but I respect other games as well but I never feel that games that I respect give me the same in answer of my greatfulness and than I found this game GUILD WARS 2 and its like created for me to make me enjoy sitting and playing it ! THANKS ArenaNET
its quite a great montage about things you actually see ingame. of course, for trailers must be more "cinematical" but its pretty much how it is in game and I just love it :'D fight that needs revamp now is honestly, Zaithan. That big bastard deserves more love :D
I find kind of funny that in minute 2:57, we have the Fire infused cultist char, and then we have this guy like: "IT JUST NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE FIRE!" *attacks with a flamethrower*
Seeing that trailer now remembers me of my first real jaw drop moment, when the shatterer landed in front of my character the first time.. The second one was realizing that he is only the "champion" of the real thread. Still such an awesome game
Guildwars 2 is an amazing game, and I'm glad this awesome video was made to capture parts of it. I've been playing this game since beta and it still kicks just as much ass as before! Guildwars 2 for life!
Man, this gave me the goosebumps all over again... Even when I've been playing since betas. Especially the wvw and some of the if boss PvE parts. Can't wait for the next patch too.
Thank you for one year of awesomeness A.net ! Keep on the good work and I wish we'll soon be able to "bash the dragon" with all the cool stuff you are curently working on.
No MMO has made me care about the world and characters in the game as much as this game. Thank you ArenaNet for changing the genre and redefining what an MMO is and what an MMO can do. Thank you for the constant flow of new and exiting content we can sink our teeth into and talk about for months after it is over. Guild Wars 2 is by far my favorite gaming experience to date. So congrats on a successful first year and hopes that the game will continue to be successful for years and years to come.
very nice. you know, after a year of playing I'm currently gathering a group of friends to confront Zhaitan. I didn't want this to be a rush through storymode and instead take my time to really enjoy the final to my personal story, so I kind of hold it up until now, making the attack (presumably) tomorrow my first time doing Arah EVER - so, nice timing with this video :D thanks Arenanet, now I'm getting impatient to start xD
ive been playing since the release and watching this video reminds me of the experience of each of those events and how i felt the first time i encountered them ... im so proud to be a part of this game . :)
You do, and are. They even admitted that the battle with Zaitan was basically rushed out the door unfinished at the last minute to meet their deadline. They also added that they are taking a hard look at it, and seeing what they can do to make it live up to expectations.
are you kidding? the game is still going strong, i was very active on there for 5 months, then took a break, but thats the beauty of free to play, you can always log in later and have an adventure! i've been logging in quite alot over the passed month and loving it.
Now if we can only get cutscenes and cinematics of this caliber in-game we would be set! Amazing trailer though, I can only imagine what this looks like to someone who has never played the game. Coolest thing is, other than some fancied up camera angles, what's in this video is pretty much what the game is going to look like as you play.
In the year of gameplay since launch this game has captivated me. The reward's have been immense, and the impact one player can have on the world in all aspects of the game, PvE, WvWvW, and PvP makes it feel like your character truly matters. With new content coming out every 2 weeks that build off each other and give power to the players GW2 has given me the best gaming experience of my life. However in all the time I've played i have but one complaint. WHEN DO WE SEE THE OTHER ELDER DRAGONS!?!
You fight him in the sylvari opening quest, like the humans fight the earth elemental, asura fight a golem, norn fight an ice wurm, and charr fight the ghost statue. It is the embodiment of the nightmare corruption within the dream. Many people have theorized that he's a minion of mordremoth, the jungle dragon, but Anet has yet to confirm that.
This game can only be described with one word: Perfection. Thank you arenanet for making such an amazing game that has given birth to the greatest community of players and fans in the world.
Yeah it's easy to get jaded after playing those events a few hundred times, but that first time or two you do it, epic feeling. Watching this does remind me of it and I'm hoping for some new large epic content soon to feel that way about again.
I think you're mixing it up. Shield of Absorption really is the bigger one that absorbs projectiles and comes from skill 5 when having a shield equipped, sanctuary is the small one that doesn't allow projectile AND mobs to enter and heals allys inside which you can equippe as a slot-skill.
Yeah I had to double check that. Wooden Potatoes did a video on lore that had speculation about a possible sixth elder dragon. Mordremoth, the Jungle Dragon. I thought the trailer was a glimpse but then I remembered the Sylvari storyline
Me too, I've got one question though - what's the creature from 2:30? I've competed gw2 twice, done tons of map exploing and dynamic events and have never seen this one... can you say, where it was?
This is true the road alone is long and hard but I was lucky and my guild helped me on the final stretch. glad they did too because dusk is now over 800g....
Best game i've ever played. Thousands of hours clocked up now and i'm still loving every minute of it. Best £65 ive ever spent and never regretted it, do yourself a favour and buy this game if you havent already.
Regardless of what all the people paying Subscription fees for other MMO's, Guild wars 2 is epic and the best MMO ever made. And to think Arenanet spoils all of us that are loyal to GW2 and add constant content and updates to an already great game not to mention very challenging content.Kudo's to Arenanet for an awesome game.
seriously my fav. mmorpg. the lore, the art, the game play all of it has heart and soul. Something that alot of games lack. It just takes my breathe away with its innovation. GW2 forever.
I think wow lore is better but all other ways gw2 wins
After years of new mmorpgs coming out, there's still none of them creating races that are distinctive and unique enough like GW2.
the original forsaken world, they have vampires, stone titans, dwarf people, animal people, etc. Dont get me wrong, i love gw2 but i can find some mmos with the same number of races or more that are distinctive and unique enough
I'm so hopelessly addicted to this game. I don't normally play mmo's but damn, this is one hell of a game.
are you playing even after 3 years?
I'm playing after almost 5 in GW2, and almost 10 in GW1.
Me too! :D
I stared GW2 in 2019.
@@leshie687Enjoying the game so far? :D

+micster0 Thanks a lot for your feedback, we're happy that you enjoy the game and we're glad that you're part of the Guild Wars 2 community! ~Stéphane
Yep 14yrs of Wow and then GW2 jeez nothing could prepare you lol not even Illidan ;)
Fun to see UA-cam recommend this old video and even more fun to look back and remember all the scenes and enemies in it : ) Back playing GW2 and enjoying the improvements they've made since this vid was first posted!
This video is just amazing, almost the entire thing is done using in game elements and graphics, no pre-rendered cinematics! So in awed of it!
The only MMO that i've bothered with following the storyline and actually level'd crafting. Best MMO in the market imo.
So many years later and I will love this game. Just finished season 4 and I cannot wait to see where the game will take us next. =)
Thank you gw2...
will return here after I retire, for the sake of the memories you have made for us.
I'm an hour late.... but happy 10th anniversary Guild Wars!
5:00 i wish we could put our character there and we could have it as a wallpaper..how awesome would that be!!:D

Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 have been part of my life since I started playing in 2006. Thanks for the Epic journey ArenaNet!
love this game so much , 5 years and we r still addicted
No matter how many years it has been, I still absolutely adore this game!
400+ hours over the 96 days
Finally a game that makes me addicted, took too long.
Amazing year of Guild Wars 2! Thank you so much for all the love and care you have put into the game and the community!! Keep it rolling for many more years to come!
DAMN... dragons in this game look HUGE.
Oh.... They are....
All the drgaons you saw except that last one are just champions even, The really huge elder dragons are on an entirely different scale
Wicked Minish and primordus is another class compared to thhe other elder dragons we have seen ^^
And Kralkatorrik is much larger than the Elder Dragon shown in this trailer (Zhaitan).
Hey Arenanet, why's this trailer not on your steam page? ;)
The only game series I have ever installed first before anything else on any new laptop or PC I ever owned. For 15 years.
Been playing for most of the last year. This trailer still hyped me up. Love this game!
Guild Wars 2 Is an Awesome MMORPG Easily my Favorite Game and I recommend it for people looking for a Challenge or just to have Fun.
You two have very distinct ideas of what skill means..and none of them are wrong.I had much less success doing PvP in GW2 than I did in WoW because it requires me to plan my very limited load-out before knowing what I'm up against, reacting appropriately, accurately and be mindful of my surroundings and resources.You can compensate in WoW by getting more powerful items; so it's an easier concept to grasp despite its multitude of subtleties in planning and reaction.Two games, different execution.
Is this game still good in 2014?
Should I buy it?
Still good in 2016...
weissnicht01 | Nicky_Zocking 2 years later and I've changed my mind :(
Same here :/ I don't see any incentive to play anymore which is why I went back to WoW.
Living World season 3 just started.... There is new Content, you can enjoy.
pudgeypigeon I don't play pvp, but i unterstand you (if you are a pvp only player) It's not that exiting.
weissnicht01 | Nicky_Zocking I enjoy LW stuff, but I feel like I couldn't find interest in it again. I think the drought was too much for me.
At least legion is here, I went back to WoW.
My first time playing GW2 was April 2012 beta. Preordered the game, did head start and been playing since! Congrats Anet on your masterpiece.
3:30 elementalist with ascended staff!
What I see is a(the) Guardian!! The one who protects everyone.
Loved watching this at the start of the Anniversary Bash in Seattle! Thanks guys, great video :)
Ist da noch jemand der bei 4:21 "MAMA!" versteht? :D
Best part of this trailer is that it's all in-game content.
That could be the reason they can fail in the coming years.
What the hell is that at 2:24?? Did I miss something??
Cliffside fractal ending
you need to play the fractals to see more awesome stuff
@@__Hanasei__Levinus__ truly, I’ve been playing the game for well over a year and haven’t given them a try yet :/
@@__Hanasei__Levinus__ Woah, as a newer player, I'm still scared to dive into Fractals XD
@@far4955 Begin at Tier one. Then it is not more difficult as story and open world content.
Thx for all that years of epic battle!
Pls GW3 someday!
GW2 Best MMO.
Teso? ah ah ah what a crap. -_-!
Guild wars 1
The single player MMO?
Co Op ;)
GW is CORPG.

THANKS ArenaNET
The trailer makes GW2 seem epic.
Unfortunately we're stuck with Scarlet Wars 2 biweekly fluff press F 500 times temporary content
Hi I am from the future to tell you that it has improved to two hours of story content and a couple of press F content every three months.
Simply.. Perfect. Tyria will always be in my heart!
"Oh no, it's Zhaitan! What do we do?"
"Just spam 1 for 20 minutes."
True lol
What did you think of the Kralkatorikk fight(s)?
I am SOOO glad they released this trailer in english. I love it!! Guild Wars 2 is the best MMO ive played!
3:37 minas tirith? ;P
its quite a great montage about things you actually see ingame.

When you do find him in Fractals of the Mists, remember to /bow when he does for an achievement.

To this day love how Zojja's line is completely unrelated to what everyone else is referring to
Anyone here from Magic&Ice? What a beautiful story, and I understand the ice skating scene now!
I'm writing an essay based on this game (specifically focusing on story). Let's hope I do my all time favorite game proud.
Awesome cinematic, and to think that it actually looks like this in game. Other games are not even close!
every time I try a new mmorpg then I return to play gw2, I think the reason is that the game still remains the best for me. Thank you Arenanet!
best endgame run yet imo, i was happily surprised when I got there last year :)
You fight him in the sylvari opening quest, like the humans fight the earth elemental, asura fight a golem, norn fight an ice wurm, and charr fight the ghost statue. It is the embodiment of the nightmare corruption within the dream. Many people have theorized that he's a minion of mordremoth, the jungle dragon, but Anet has yet to confirm that.
Zhaitan! Victory or death! To the cannons!
10 minutes of autoattack while browsing the trading post. It's was such an epic conclusion of the story.
This game can only be described with one word: Perfection.
Thank you arenanet for making such an amazing game that has given birth to the greatest community of players and fans in the world.
He's from the Cliffside Fractal in Fractals of the Mists, where you have to destroy the seals with the hammer. You don't fight him, you save him.
2:38 think that should be the start of trailer, really shows what guild wars 2 is all about
Yeah it's easy to get jaded after playing those events a few hundred times, but that first time or two you do it, epic feeling. Watching this does remind me of it and I'm hoping for some new large epic content soon to feel that way about again.

this mmo has the best progression feeling in any mmo I've ever played.
this takes me back
The 3:32 guardian is probably a combination of stand your ground for stability and shield skill 5. In this case its not meant to block, just look cool
What an awesome year it has been. Thanks all!
What I like most about their trailers is that they are all actual ingame footage, not some animated movie to look good.
it's been a wild ride! :D
Wow. The ending sent chills down my spine.
Best part is you recognize everything from the game c:!
Thank you for the over-dramatization of Guild Wars 2. I've always pictured my guardian's barrier worked that way! This is so cool, so epic.
Yeah I had to double check that. Wooden Potatoes did a video on lore that had speculation about a possible sixth elder dragon. Mordremoth, the Jungle Dragon. I thought the trailer was a glimpse but then I remembered the Sylvari storyline
This video is freaking awesome!
GW2 needs a trailer this epic for End of Dragons
I love that they used everything that happens in game for the trailer...advertising done right
The goosebumps won't go away ^^
This is just art. Beautiful art
It made I want to play game instantly. GW2 is best game ever. Gj Anet. I wish you few more years like 1st one !!
Me too, I've got one question though - what's the creature from 2:30? I've competed gw2 twice, done tons of map exploing and dynamic events and have never seen this one... can you say, where it was?
Oh the feels
THE EPICNESS OF THIS TRAILER IS TOO DAMN HIGH!!!
Amazing Trailer, that actually shows how the game realy is :'3
Smaug was one hell of a dragon ... but Zhaitan is such a big badass elder dragon i wouldn´t mess with him
That is the Colossus from one of the fractals. You free him and he bows to you. You get an achievement for bowing back
This is true the road alone is long and hard but I was lucky and my guild helped me on the final stretch. glad they did too because dusk is now over 800g....
