Which is behind the virtual paywall. Only E-sports are free, all the panels are part of the virtual ticket.

I watched the first trailer and raised an eyebrow then watched the gameplay footage and now I'm hyped. This looks like some crazy fun!
and who says he didn't pay for the stream?
Yeah I noticed.... I noticed....
Can't wait for the sexism debate.
Honestly, the character designs we've been shown thus far have been pretty amazing. Not since UT2k4 do I remember seeing a large body type female in a competitive game. Looks/feels good man.
Who has a large body type?

It's not about him paying for the stream. It's about you paying for it and why it's against their rules for people to restream something they should be paying for if they want to watch.

Blizzard and Valve are the two greatest developers of all time when it comes to pushing content post-release, so I'm definitely looking forward to this. The worst thing about getting into a game like this by any other developer is that as soon as it loses support from the devs, the population count starts to dwindle. I believe in Blizzard after seeing the amazing turnaround Diablo 3 made.

The 2500 people in his stream certainly didnt pay for it.
From the looks of it, this isn't any more MOBA than TF2, Dirty Bomb, or Firefall PvP. No indication of creeps, lanes, or leveling up in-game. The characters and roles are more MOBA-like, but that's not a unique feature of that genre.
So every game you watch on twitch and not pay for it makes you a pirate? lol

Wait..
What..
How..?
The CG Trailer was me asking myself "This is a BLIZZARD Game?!"
The Realtime gameplay Trailer was me asking myself "This isn't another CG Trailer?!"
DAT IQ. The fuck engine is this running on?

More TF2 than CS. The skill ceiling on games like this and tf2 are nowhere near CS's. It looks like a very fun team shooter.
So is Guild Wars 2 PvP a MOBA? Not denying that there's overlap, but structurally it seems like much more of an action game.
Probably a new "Titan" engine?
Not a moba. There are no creeps and no towers.

It was one small mode and not the focus of the game, it's like saying TF2 is a wave survival game because of Mann vs. Machine mode.

Yeah it is you can only view it if you paid 30 euro's like i did for panels and what not. Still illegal what that guy does on twitch.
All the matches from SC,WoW,HotS etc are free that one is not.
I'm sure that will last when people are paying £10 for a character and they keep getting killed by the one with poorly thought out abilities. Blizzard have an awful record at balancing games, especially when people are probably going to try and force this as an esport.

Love the music! So is it teams can only choose 1 character per team?
Its a mixed bag I think, some look good some not so much. They go well with the overall aesthetic though. Blizzard rarely makes any truly interesting designs these days.
With regards to the game itself, it seems quite different from TF2 now that I've watched the gameplay trailer. A few of the same character types and trappings are there, but by and large it seems to take a much different approach in general. Certainly the class system isn't really there, much more MOBA style in that regard, so it should be neat as they add more characters. Looks like a very fast paced game as well which I can appreciate. I'm certainly willing to give it a look, I'm not sure how well the balance will hold up in the long term as more characters get added, but I do enjoy the big character list without having to actually play a MOBA which is not a genre I care to learn.

Because gamers want fun?
It definitely reminds me of TF2, but the small team size puts me off completely. Hopefully they change their mind and allow for double that at some point.
This is large? Her waist is incredibly narrow, her face is skinny, and even covered in armor her hips are no larger than the sniper chick.
I hope it's only one character per game like DOTA. Don't like in HOTS how you can have the same character on each team. Maybe even have a draft at the start. OK I am trying to make this into DOTA I'll stop.

6v6?
Nope.
Nope.
Well, at least she doesn't have a standard lithe silhouette. More Samus-esque, I guess?
Also yeah, she's not a small character. That's also neat.

Design is pretty ugly. But then all of Blizzard's 3D games are.
