Guild Wars 2 is dying.

Only 5 million + sold, and growing!
Not!

I wonder what will be playable at pax. It would be nice if they're having another elite spec and the tweaked ones to try out.
Having not seen the notes yet, I'm hoping they picked a couple really random fighting games

Primal Rage, Fatal Fury, Smash Bros. Brawl, The Last Blade, Killer Instinct, Soul Calibur, Dead or Alive, Bloody Roar, King of Fighters and Eternal Champions.
The only references I don't get are Always Angry and Blood Reaction. Maybe they're super obscure (though The Last Blade is, but I at least remembered that one).
Gotta be Hulk from the Avengers 1
Hmm, I dunno. what does the trait do?
edit: ah I see. Sounds sort of like a generic reference to Viking berserkers
I haven't thought about Eternal Champions in a looong time... that was a game.
Probably Melty Blood: reACT.
Spec looks fun. Funny to see chat scream OP. Nothing stood out, but conditions should be fun to mess around with. The 2nd life trait is an interest spin on sustain. The rifle burst seemed great. But rifle skills still aren't horribly useful are they?
No Street Fighter makes me sad, but all the SNK love makes up for it.

well shit, I've certainly never heard of that but it sounds right. lmao melty blood
The Last Blaze is Blazblue + The Last Blade.
Gun Flame is apparently a Guilty Gear reference too (I haven't played a new fighting game in ages).
It was what my Brothers would rent when Mortal Kombat got boring, before Super Street Fighter II finally released on the Genesis.

Booo no SkullGirls..
Skull Grinder though.
Well the sales is going on for 21 days, so lots of ground to cover. Think I check out the krytan armor finally if the old armor sets come back again (which I be surprise if they don't really).

Thought it was a pretty good livestream, but The new F1 sword, GS, LB, Rifle skills were the best bits. I really don't like robert said that there would be a ton of CC in HoT. :I It's so boring having to pack your skill bar just for stun breakers and spec for that. I really dislike hard-CC, were you loose complete control like in WoW.
Slow, crippled and such are fine. You still have control of your character, but the ones where you can't move a finger? those suck. In every game! Seems Berserkers has some good traits. particularly the bottom line. Eternal champ might make me opt out of defense all together.
As for Berserker mode, I thought it would be more.. visible. There is a fire effect on the UI, and the character seem to pulse, but I was hoping for something more like reaper form, or your character morphing into looking really strong.
With this LS I would rate the ES we have seen:
1. Reaper
2. Chronomancer
3. Herald
4. Tempest
5. Berserker
6. Dragon Hunter
Though I think the biggest highlight on PoI for me might have been Shiro and Revernant. I hope great things for thief and druid. Don't fail us medium professions!

Dragon Hunter from BWE1 felt like a shitty failed Ranger i messed around with the traits and couldn't come up with something decent..DH is worthless as of BWE1 hopefully by the time BWE2 rolls around it's better..
I don't think you'll see that happen, GW2's combat is much too fast-paced for that kind of garbage, especially in PVP. I wouldn't worry about getting stunlocked or anything like that.

I hope so mate! I mean, it would also be counter-intuitive right? After all GW2, is the bridge between the spammy action MMOs, and the hotkey based MMOs!
GW2 is the game with the tab targeting where movement matters. The bridge of bridges
I've enjoyed reading others people impressions on the specializations. I feel I am in the minority for being so excited for Reaper. Just not for my love of greatsword, but I just think thematically it looks amazing. But I see a lot of Necros that aren't happy campers, and I wonder. Do you guys think (in a stereotypical sense), that people are more prone to being disappointed in their mains specialization?
Warrior was my main in GW1, and has been in GW2 since launch, and given that Berserker looks solid, I wonder if I don't feel as strongly about it, comes from a biased notion of having played Warrior for at least 1500-2000 hours!
I can't for the life of me imagine what Engineers elite spec will be called. Uses Hammer, has floating robots around it.
Scrapper?

I'm still hoping for a power glove kit with large, steampunk esque boxing gloves. Rocket punches! Tesla fist stunners! Dempsey Roll combo attack! It would be a riot.

You had me at DEMPSYYY ROLLLLLLLLL
I can't speak for everyone, but Reaper bumped Necro up pretty high on my list of professions to play in HoT, after being at the bottom of my list for the last 3+ years.

I finally finished the preliminary idea, it's not all fleshed out, but the concepts are there.
(Warning: pretty long)
Very cool, it reminds me a bit of Shadows of Mordor when you are fighting in spirit form. Dagger for Guardian is a very interesting choice.
In the next expansion I really hope for new weapon types (and one/two new races)!

For what it's worth, what did the announcement of berzerker do the the price of the Torch legendary precursor?

Last time i saw the Rodgort price it was going for 89-100g now it's around 500g..
I always knew Rodgort was a 10/10.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
2000 gems for 2 bank slots, 2 bag slots and a bunch of extras sounds good

I don't have a single one. Pretty sure Hawkian doesn't either. That's 2/3 GMs without one. Ash only has one.
