I don’t mean to sound ungrateful. Really, I don’t. The Catacombs dungeon cinematic was a thing of glory, and I reveled in watching 8 minutes of dungeon combat, artfully filmed by ArenaNet and showing off a dazzling array of abilities.
But one thing I’d really, really love for ArenaNet to do is a dungeon walkthrough, much akin to the way they first presented the Thief, and introduced underwater combat. Having seen the Alderaan flashpoint video for Star Wars: The Old Republic, and now the menace lurking in the Savage Coast of The Secret World, I think it would go a long way to demonstrating just how this non-trinity kind of combat works, and actually show off the mobility required in a way that the existing dungeon footage does not. A nice developer voiceover explaining what everyone is doing would put a bow around the whole thing.
Pretty please, ArenaNet? Just one dungeon walkthrough? It doesn’t even have to be through the spoilery bits! Maybe we’ll get it at Comic-Con, or PAX….
Yeah I think gw2 could benefit greatly from explaining game mechanics or dungeons in more depth with videos that are very specifically for that purpose.
I agree, a video demonstrating the positional and movement-based combat ANet is always talking about would be great. I liked the Dungeon footage, but everyone in it is just standing still, spamming the same couple of attacks over and over.
“everyone in it is just standing still, spamming the same couple of attacks over and over.”
-So they are playing like I play Guild Wars 1 lol!
Watching a walk through would be the next best thing to actually playing the game and since my head has been about to explode with anticipation I think it would relieve some pressure.
A dungeon run or atleast some type of combat where creatures are not dying in two hits.
[…] I really want to see how ArenaNet’s non-holy-trinity trinity tackles a dungeon, how people work together, successes and failures of PUGs, […]
