Talk:Guild Wars 2/Archive 1

message: The article is misleading - she has not said anything about GW2 being anounced.  Gaile Gray has stated that "some of what you've read is right, some of it is wrong, and quite a bit of it is misleading" and that "The good news is that the top game publications in Europe and the U.S. are preparing feature articles with major Guild Wars news ... In the U.S., PC Gamer will begin delivery of the May issue to subscribers on March 15, and it will be on newsstands on April 3".  Interpretting this to mean something specifically about a presumed GW2 is speculative at best.  --67.168.14.198 04:05, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The old AfD was cloed because there was no information on this game. This information has now been released. The relevant text must now be moved here from Guild Wars. Please do not reverse this without discussion. Eric Sandholm 15:29, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Have you read this article where these new purported details were announced? If so, please cite your sources. Incidentally, I would claim that an article on a game to barely enter beta in 2008 doesn't meet WP:N by a long shot, but the AfD renom can wait a few weeks. — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 15:40, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, the PC Gamer magazine for May is out for subscribers only at the moment. Some fans have received it and written up articles on some fansites. This is one, for example. I will add the sources as soon as I have the May issue in my hands, if they aren't added sooner. About WP:N, surely a highly anticipate sequel to a top-shelf game meets whatever notability criteria Wikipedia uses! The Burning Crusade was created months and months before its release, for example.

message: "characters will use whatever skills they currently have to aid them." Does this mean the 8 skill limit will be abandoned? This should be clarified in the main page —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Natrilix (talk • contribs) 05:45, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: What does this mean?

message: Has ArenaNet officially announced the system requirements for GW2?  I hadn't seen them yet; but then real world issues have kept me from following updates as closely as I would like.
However, the listed specs do look suspicious; I'm not sure if the game is even in alpha testing yet (GW:EN is supposedly in alpha now, but seems too early for GW2), also the specs shown here are identical to the specs shown for GW:Nightfall - given the changes that they've announced wanting to implement in the game world, I would find it hard to believe that it could still run on a system at those same specs.
But, if ArenaNet has released this info, can someone post a link? --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 15:48, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
