Ashantara.8731 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 The new mount looks ridiculous (we have now officially reached bad Marvel comic state, especially in combination with Palawa Joko sounding like a Marvel comic villain, whom I cannot take serious). The new legendary warhorn looks even more horrific (why do some GW2 weapon designers make weapons ridiculously extra-large and improper in design? That doesn't look like a weapon but a large toy). :/ The map/environment and possible story content however have me excited. The fractal looks awesome as well. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante.1763 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I dunno, if the horn is dwarven it would certainly explain its large size. As for the mount, why not, in the world of tyria where a ton of stuff wouldnt work in the real world all i saw was another thing thats an interesting concept at least.

pah.4931 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I thought it looked great! I don't mind silly things in a silly video game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoseofGilead.8907 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I think the mount looks pretty great. I loved the roller beetles in GW1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I suppose if one wasn't fond of Guild Wars content/NPCs, these kinds of things would seem out-of-place. Fortunately, for some, it's great having content brought forward. Each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamySkullz.8203 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I haven't played GW1 up to Joko content, but from what I've seen of him (let's plays, quotes, etc) that "bad marvel villain" vibe you're talking about was always there. I personally think giving him more of an eccentric, kind of silly vibe helps make his character interesting and fun, especially because he's so threatening in reality. As for the beetle, I love it. It's super cute and I feel like it fits the new "aesthetic" GW2 has been heading. In conclusion: HYPE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derd.6413 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I don't mind the silly because at least ot looks like something that can exsist in tyria. It's not a police car or a banana hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Godrik.5841 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 The warhorn looks great imo. Excited for the new fractal and map. And not really sure if it's a totally new mount or just a reskin of an existing mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes roller beetles always looked a bit silly (and wait to hear them, the noises they make are even sillier) but they are creatures that exist in the guild wars lore and are now coming to GW2.

NotOverlyCheesy.9427 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 From marketing point of view I really enjoyed this trailer. It was clear to those who are not already part of the community and showcases the upcoming content really well. Personally the lack of a new raid always stings a bit but I'll take all I can get.

Brother.1504 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 The new trailer has an over the top for sure. I agree that Joko definitely has a Joker vibe going on. Whimsical content every now and right then isn’t game breaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazut.4296 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I agree, Joko trailer is just stupid. Instead of trying to make it "fun", make it epic... sad story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of trying to make it "fun", make it epic... sad story An arrogant character dismissing the serious threat is a sad story? It was very much in character for him. It was actually pretty cool to see how casual he is about the fact that the guy who killed two elder dragons and a former god is now coming for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haco.1546 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 It can be logical: This new technology Asura equipped with last generation sensors are able to "read" the rotations that the beetles make (abbreviation RPS), these are located on the edges and the bottom; The second sensor is what makes mapping the environment allied to an artificial intelligence and machine learning (similar to autonomous cars); The third sensor that is not quite a sensor acts as a magnet, for example: Metal plates are added in the form of strips on the back of the Beetle and a real magnet is installed on the device but also when rotating the beetle emits vibrations that are read by the sensors and is this form The device can make the beetle a safe means of transport. :) There's room for everyone: The fluffy, the funny, the Marvel, the obscure, the evil, the gloomy, the dark, the light, the boring, the cool, the easy, the complex, the deep and the shallow. :smiley: PS.: Forgive me for the English, I'm not fluent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
particlepinata.9865 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Completely subjective what your saying. Why do people on this forum not use the term 'in my opinion' , but present a opinion as a fact for everyone. The new mount looks great in my opinion, if you've been playing gw 1 like me, you would be quite anthousiastic about the rollerbeetle making a comeback after all those years. Better then the random boring mounts other games put out, with nice mechanics/physics instead of generic movement over land and in the sky. And Palawa Joko is now how he was in gw 1 also, not pure grim/dark like in the first episode put a mix of grim and humor. Better then the classic generic ' oh im pure evilness' like all the other games, already too many of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still doesn't justify turning it into a mount with the saddle hovering a meter above it while it rolls. Ansolute ridiculous idea IMO. > @"Haco.1546" said: > It can be logical: This new technology Asura [...] Oh please, enough magi-tech nonsense. If they are so much into sci-fi themed stuff, they should release GW3 taking place 500 years in the future. Just spare me that crap in my beloved fantasy game - I am not playing it for the sci-fi experience, and there's been enough of that shoved down my throat already. :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
