    Question for our forumites

    When I look for news to post here, I typically only post things that have new or tangible information about the game. I typically leave out blog posts talking about, say, how happy someone who played the demo is about rediscovering a sense of exploration or whatever.

    My question is, do you guys prefer blogs, magazine articles etc. get winnowed out this way, or would you prefer to be updated every time someone posts something related to Guild Wars 2, whether it's more personal than informational or not?

    I'd appreciate feedback from you guys .

    I only pay attention to new gameplay videos, myself. Other information just doesn't matter to me, unless you've got a release date, then you can let me know.

    Sicne I can't play the game myself and is probably never going to before it comes out reading about someone playing and their thoughts on it is interesting. So, perhaps a thread containing blogposts? Or do we want one for each to ease teh discussion?

    Feeling tired? There's a nap for that.

    Hmm, I guess we could always post that kind of thing under "gameplay" too rather than news.

    Heya, Ruse!

    Winterbay's and Lucread's answers are very much my own. I love your updates, usually don't reply just to keep the forum organized (replies like "Hey, cool" are very untidy) and from them I like the gameplay reviews the most.

    News are always welcome, but since they are susceptible to gossip I preffer you keep them coming from good sources (then enters your filter of what is good/cool or not).

    The conclusions are: I would like to see a section of "Gameplay News" at least for now, since the game is TBA. Secondly, I like your news filter from blogs and/or magazines, you keep the bulls**t from coming our way, so that's good stuff!!!

    Kisses,

    Bahayur [Yuri]

    Alright, I'll try to start doing that then

    Speaking of which, I need to check for updates. I haven't done that in a couple of days.

    Is this already a done deal? Even so, I'll throw in my opinion:
    Personally, I think a new subsection "Opinion Articles" (which would fit for those blog posts, but also previews & reviews) would be very suitable. I would still place them under "Guild Wars 2 News & Updates", though, as I believe a lot of them are much more updates on the ongoing status of the GW2 game than "Gameplay" articles (although there are definitely playthrough/gameplay related articles among them).

    As a die hard Guild Wars 2 fan, I look at everything I can about a game. I watch video game play, listen to people's opinions, try to get as much vicariously as I can.

    If I can't play the game yet, I'm going to find out every little thing I can about it, and sometimes that comes from other people's opinions.

    Man this game can't come fast enough for me.

    Nope, definitely not too late. That's actually an excellent idea. I'll poke the admins

    I would like to also get in on this topic if I may...

    I think I am with the guy above on the whole boat issue. I like reading everything about a game before a new game comes out. If your going to dig into a game anyways for all the info, it might was well be here on these forums. I like to dig too, especially when it involves a game that I want to play soooo badly.
