They said it takes all the info, but only displays the first. So people with multiple HD's, or integrated/discrete card combos, have no fear, they are getting all the relevant information.

Same reason you'd play a shooter with gamepad, an action game or an rpg with a gamepad? Because it's fun?

I don't like platforming... It does not belong in MMO games, it usually glitches and gets exploited. You can already see how surface deformations collide with models, but perhaps it is just in the Beta and some clever solution is going to be implemented.
Perhaps they are going to choose my laptop to see how antique hardware handles the game
Nvidia GF 7300 Mobility!Some people are more comfortable with different control types? It's not uncommon dude. Don't judge.

Ewwwww....I hope not. Yes I am actually hoping a feature is not in the game.
Gamepads are not a practical input device for mmo's. There are too many simultaneous inputs to be pressed and need to switch ability sets for a gamepad to be practical for an mmo. It just doesn't work well. Even in Tera a game that specifically wanted gamepad support it just doesn't work all that well in comparison to a mouse and keyboard.
Unrelated: Curse this thread. Don't tell people about the beta. You are ruining my odds of being selected
(Curse my bumping of this thread XD).
I.. I don't even... Jesus.
I actually said "oh wow" IRL

:O this game....
The jumping still looks a bit weird, but i'm so excited to see some actual exploration in a MMO for once.
If you look at 0:14 in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=q0Z8n120H7Y#t=14s
You'll notice that there's level ranges on each zone...I think they made zones with themes for every race all the way from 1-80...

You are right those two abhorred attempts at MMO's work with gamepads. XD
(Obviously just my opinion though I believe the general public feels the same. And yes I have played both of them).
Both were made specifically for consoles from a UI perspective. FFXIV in particular is made with nested menus and by design nested menus are very controller friendly.

Thanks for the heads up! I've never wanted to get into a beta so badly before!
Rift had some cool little exploration puzzles and achievements. Glad to see GW2 bring that in.

Wow thats some serious Assassins Creed shit right there.

Crafting Explained. It's like Skyrim alchemy, but you have to craft the parts first. It's not anything too exciting. You want a shield? You craft a shielf base, a handle and then an insignia to improve it, plop all three into discovery tab and boom.

I haven't received mine neither, feel you bro
The Mesmer PvP Video of MikeB is pretty good, nice quality and good action, he used lots of abilities. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqSVue7dK6o
I liked the leave a clone and disappear skill, all mindfuck. At the start of the video he confuse some people with illusions. Good stuff.
And the exploring thing is so awesome, good stuff for people who like to enjoy the world and explore, gives you motivation too.
Edit: >_> i registered minutes after the website went on, why i haven't receveid anything and others too
oh A.NETHoly shit...
God damn I need to find other stuff to keep me busy so I don't think about how far away this game is.
Signed up. Hope I get in... though part of me doesn't want to get in so the experience is fresh.
When you combine:
No node ganking
A system built through discovery rather than the same recipe everyone else has
Allowing you to drop a profession and pick it back up without losing progress
Items aren't a bunch of worthless crap you don't ever want
No crafting failure
Crit crafts get you materials back
Put it all together and you have a huge change in the crafting side of things, it's all extremely convenient, not a grind, and actually useful. For me that is a great system.

Still no confirmation email after 5 hours but when I try to sign up with the same email adress it says that its already signed up for the beta
A lot of the TOR jumping puzzles for Datacrons are harder than that. Between Rift, TOR, GW2 and Wild Star exploration is definitely being factored into MMO development of late.
The most disappointing part is his complete failure to kill that deer towards the end. What kind of MMO player is he???
