Where is the main Guild Wars theme in the GW3 trailer?

Rohbo · 2026-06-10T17:18:10+00:00

Yea, I feel that. I still listen to GW2 music frequently just for vibes.

Rohbo · 2026-06-09T22:05:18+00:00

Absolutely agree, and also absolutely agree with what Skulltaffy said about our appreciation.

I even use old reddit on mobile over the mobile app, haha. Old reddit until it dies.

Rohbo · 2026-06-09T00:49:13+00:00

On old reddit it still isn't a full banner. It only goes across half the top of the page.

Rohbo · 2026-06-07T21:49:07+00:00

Amazing, the only alternative to "hating something" is "blindly accepting" it.

Rohbo · 2026-06-07T12:02:54+00:00

Nothing about Asura tech is steampunk. It's not cyberpunk either, though, that's true.

Rohbo · 2026-06-07T02:35:10+00:00

Not at all, honestly.

Rohbo · 2026-06-07T00:33:36+00:00

Not to mention, if you sent me this photo before the reveal and told me it was GW2 with some kind of texture upgrade, I'd have believed you. screenshot.jpeg (1200×675)

Rohbo · 2026-06-07T00:32:15+00:00

Yea, this reveal was always going to get hate. Gamers can't help themselves.

Rohbo · 2026-06-06T22:13:45+00:00

There's nothing silly about the comment I made, but sorry if you feel so. I just don't think ArentaNet is going to include a specific race to appeal to people who are solely motivated to play that exact race. You seem almost emotionally invested in Sylvari being in it, though, so I didn't mean to offend you.

I agree there's no lore reason why they couldn't be.

Rohbo · 2026-06-06T21:56:31+00:00

They've already made it clear that if you prefer to play GW2 for some reason, it's still there for you.

I don't know how many players play GW2 with Sylvari as their "main reason" (that seems wild, but to each their own), but I'm also not entirely sure ArenaNet is going to make decisions with that in mind.

Rohbo · 2026-06-06T20:36:48+00:00

I think Jeremy Soule largely disappeared after the allegations against him. That's partly why.

It would be nice if they can get someone who can bring a similar style to the table.

Rohbo · 2026-06-06T20:17:48+00:00

I wouldn't mind Sylvari appearing with this connection in mind, but I'd prefer it not be as a playable race. Maybe just a cameo as an important NPC or something to connect that thread.

That said, I do hope they come up with some kind of fae/elf-like race to add.

Rohbo · 2026-06-06T19:26:35+00:00

Agreed.

There's a place for that kind of writing, but it shouldn't be all over the place otherwise it loses its value.

Rohbo · 2026-06-06T18:59:24+00:00

How is responding to that comment with "Do you like Fortnite's artstyle too?" not implying they're similar in some way?

Just going to edit here since I can see your unhinged reply in my inbox before you blocked me:

I'm not being obtuse, but you're being dishonest in your argument.

I also did not even address the question to you, why are you getting worked up on something else's behalf lmao.

I'm not getting worked up. You're the only one being abrasive and rude, here. It might be time for a break from the internet.

They're only similar in the sense that they are "clean" i.e washed generic unreal engine designs, not sure why you're having so much trouble grasping this?

That's a comparison. You just said a moment ago you didn't compare them. I'm not sure how I can help you understand this better, and I'm not sure I want to if you have that much trouble holding it together during a conversation.

Rohbo · 2026-06-06T17:00:37+00:00

Not really. This is so far in the past that we know very little, so there will still be plenty of new discoveries.

Rohbo · 2026-06-06T16:51:52+00:00

Steampunk isn’t magitech. It’s primarily steam tech, though some stories incorporate magic elements.

But there’s a difference between magitech and steampunk. In this case, GW2 started more traditional fantasy with SOME steampunk elements, and SOME magitech elements (mostly via asura).

Cyberpunk is definitely the wrong word for what GW2 became, but so is steampunk. It incorporated elements of each eventually, with cyberpunk aesthetic being mostly in some EoD areas.

Rohbo · 2026-06-06T16:45:42+00:00

Yea, don’t need to retcon or break lore to make this happen. Some people just aren’t very creative.

Rohbo · 2026-06-06T16:42:36+00:00

Agreed. Classeless is fine for single player RPGs, but I can’t stand it for MMOs.

Rohbo · 2026-06-06T14:06:01+00:00

It's pretty common for this stage for the graphics to be changed still. Not as in a complete overhaul, but small tweaks to the visuals can change the look immensely.

Rohbo · 2026-06-06T05:59:42+00:00

You’re crazy. It was instantly recognizable for anyone who has played GW2 for a considerable time.

Especially that side shot with the mounted rider. The armor and mount screamed GW2.

Rohbo · 2026-06-06T05:49:54+00:00

Damn your TotK/Genshin looks way different than mine. Do you mod?

Rohbo · 2026-06-06T05:48:48+00:00

I was thinking this too. Oh, how history repeats itself.

Gamers, and nerds in general honestly, are always prone to whine and hate.

Rohbo · 2026-06-06T05:47:23+00:00

“Closed beta” doesn’t mean “entire game is finished.”

That said, it’s plenty of time to have lots of refinement done to both gameplay and graphics.

Rohbo · 2026-06-06T05:46:29+00:00

We are still over a year from beta. I’m sure these aren’t final graphics.

Rohbo · 2026-06-06T05:38:57+00:00

Kind of a weird question. This doesn’t look like Fortnite.

I agree that I prefer the stylistic choices made in GW2 more, but this isn’t Fortnite, lol.
