Hours in queue; No World vs World

Posted on Jul 22, 2012

The last Guild Wars 2 beta weekend is about to end and at least for me it was a complete disaster and waste of time. Late Saturday night (actually early Sunday morning), about 1am EST was the first chance I had to even log into the game and within 10 seconds of logging in a server maintenance message saying

Introducing GW2Versus

Posted on Jul 20, 2012

From the shameless plug department I’d like to introduce you guys to GW2Versus.com a newly launched (as of today) GW2 forum dedicated to World vs World and PvP combat. The site features individual server  forums so players can have a centralized location to meet up and plan strategies. We all know World vs World is going to

Guild Wars 2 Second Beta Weekend Announced

Posted on May 29, 2012

Seems we’ll have to make it through one more weekend without GW2. The date for the second Guild Wars 2 beta weekend has been announced and it will begin on June 8th at noon PST and last until June 10th midnight PST. Characters have not been deleted since the last beta weekend, so player will be able to

LoreHound Crier: The Week in a Glance

Posted on May 04, 2012

Another week has come and gone … it seems like time flies much more quickly since I started writing these weekly summaries! And what a week this has been, not only has TERA launched, but there was some excitement as a long-rumored Elder Scrolls MMORPG was announced. For years, Bethesda has been denying there will

Combat: Guild Wars 2 vs TERA

Posted on Apr 30, 2012

Over the weekend I had the chance to try out Guild Wars 2 during the game’s first beta weekend, as well as put in some time with TERA as its head-start began on Saturday. Jumping between the two games I was really able to get a feel for each games combat system and if I had to pick a

Guild Wars 2 World vs World First Impressions

Posted on Apr 28, 2012

The first beta weekend kicked off for Guild Wars 2 yesterday, which gave me the chance to try out the game for the first time. If you’re a dedicated reader of Lorehound, you’ll know I’ve been looking forward to World vs World for a long time, so I spent the majority of my time there. During this

Guild Wars 2 Today; TERA Tomorrow

Posted on Apr 27, 2012

I wasn’t planning on participating in any of the Guild Wars 2 beta weekend events, not because I didn’t want to, but because it started at the same time TERA launched. Luckily for me, TERA’s head-start doesn’t start for North American players until tomorrow afternoon, so that gives me today to try out Guild Wars 2. The GW2 download was a

Guild Wars 2: PvP or PvE?

Posted on Apr 26, 2012

Call me biased, but I was under the impression that the hype surrounding Guild Wars 2 was all about its World verse World PvP system. This was the big selling point, the killer feature that would change the MMORPG genre and save us from the horrid existence of theme-park games, but after reading a post on ScaryWorld’s I’m not
