Then learn how they plan to tackle one of the genres most challenging aspects: The End Game.

Interesting
I might get banned for this. - Rizel Star.
I'm not afraid to tell trolls what they [need] to hear, even if that means for me to have an forced absence afterwards.
P2P LOGIC = If it's P2P it means longevity, overall better game, and THE BEST SUPPORT EVER!!!!!(Which has been rinsed and repeated about a thousand times)
Common Sense Logic = P2P logic is no better than F2P Logic.
Nice
What the heck? It hasn't even released and they're already talking about ending it?
This should be interesting, would like to hear how end game is going to be in GW2. Not really spoilers, but the types of content and progression that will be there.
They're going to announce GW3 of course.
You got that wrong, they are talking about the game that ends all other gaming needs
Best MMO experiences : EQ(PvE), DAoC(PvP), WoW(total package) LOTRO (worldfeel) GW2 (Artstyle and animations and worlddesign) SWTOR (Story immersion) TSW (story) ESO (character advancement)
Make sure to post a log or a saved version of that chat, ill not be able to attend it, but sure do i want to know what they said.

This.
Actually, someone please ask them when the next expansion is coming out and how much new content do they plan to add before the expansion (if anything).
When did Anet get involved with TES6 with co-op/multyplayer?
For some people no, but for thousand of others hell yes

Wow lots of really good and cool info.
Orr - big end game PvE zone with lots of dynamic event meta-chains and territory control against NPCs/Mobs including huge temples/dungeons (open world) and a "final" instanced dungeon
2-3 times the number of DE's as any other region, no heart quests.
Skill points - after hitting level 80 instead of XP you get more skill points just from playing (things that would otherwise give you XP)
Mystic Forge - Spend skill points on lots of cool stuff, including legendary weapons
Additions at any level of the game = end game additions because every toon down-scales to level appropriate to zone
Nature of dynamic events = easier to add more content to the game versus traditonal quests
Of course PvP (both WvW and sPvP)
I'm holding out for GW3 myself. I figure they'll learn from all the mistakes of GW2 and then make a totally awesome game.
Well one thing they just mentioned is that once you hit level 80, your XP bar resets and you'll continue to gain XP and whenever the bar becomes full again you earn a skill point. Skill points can then be used to get cool new weapons, items, consumables & components.
Also that Legendary weapons (the Tier above Exotic) will be impossible to acquire from another player and will require each player to go to some extreme lengths to acquire/craft. Some legendary weapons they mentioned were:
Sorry guys i missed it abit. What was their whole thing about endgame?
Was this really like 10 minutes? Or less?
Orr will have 3 zones where there are no reniown hearts only Dynamic events with numerous outocmes (they call it event webs) and there are twice as many events as on other maps. I can say that's a pretty big end game area if you ask me.
We will have to fight and capture special Major temples there and fight our way to final dungeon(s).
that's what I got out of it
So on top of everything else, this game even has "endgame" content?
Can it come out already...
is that what they wher talkin about endgame? just to make sure. I was thinking they where going to talk about some new mechanics or dungeon or whatever.
I also watched the Orr part, it's just that we already new it was going to be a "endgame" type area. Well, good stuff anyway.
I kinda got a little horny.
Corrections:
Unfortunately is was very short, but very informative

Sounds like an entire 3 zone region with raid-level content that is all open world and persistant - like if players don't fight back the NPC's they lose ground against them and have to re-take their previous gains.
Awesome.
And cosmetic only legendary weapons with cool effects?
Skill points instead of XP after level 80?
Yes, yes please.

Can't wait for those "no true endgame" threads now.
Their description of the lv 80 pve zone "Orr" filled with DE related to the gods sound totally amazing.
