Honestly, I think it's ludicrous and almost completely ruins the aesthetic of the whole fantasy world.
Toons being "turrets" is one thing, like a Ranger, but actual real turrets?
Turrets, grenades, guns, canons (yes, they're in the game as well)... it's turning into a friggin' modern day shooter.
Yes, I know the world has advanced technologically in the game/storyline, but I don't want that kind of modern weaponry in something like GW2, which should stick withing the fantasy realm.
I cant stand the whole "Steampunk" thing, and while I don't mind some more modern things, such as some sort of thrown explosives (that's sort of different than grenades, though of course a similar concept, as long as it's just a crude, fantasy-like contraption; something like in the Witcher 2), but the rest of this... it just kills the whole reason I play games like this in the first place.
How does it fit... dragons, sorcery/magic, alchemy, swords... turrets, guns, grenades, canons... wtf!?
Why ruin such a beautiful game with such an amazing aesthetic with this whole modern day "Steampunk" garbage? It's just not something that should be "mixed" to this degree, and there's about a million other creative magical things I could think of to take their place.
Say whaaa? What brought this rant on? The toons don't turn into turrets or anything else. They assemble them and guns, cannons, etc...etc...have popped up in various fantasy settings all the time.
Your post perplexes me.
However, 'm getting pretty stoked for this game. All the classes seem to be exciting and each one has something that I love. I'm going to be bouncing around the classes for a bit me thinks. The Engineer, Warrior, and Thief seem to the be the three I'm enjoying the most to follow.
People saying steampunk is stupid but think magic wooden staffs is cool = lol.
looks cheesy as hell to me. i like how while he jumps he kills the first guy at the same time. then shoots a net and explodes next to the other guy. rad.
"The armor is good looking"
for some reason, it isn't looking like that in their "skills" videos.

WOW has guns, cannons, and grenades. If that helps you cope.

yea lets ask for gw2 to be yet another wow clone and watch you and others complain how there is no difference and uniqness to this game.
Exactly. We need something different.
Yup and this is it. its basically oblivion done MMO style and more fluid and dynamic.
i lvoe the quests. none of this, go here and go there with some silly star on the map pointing u to where to go and what to do.
Love it. If they deliver exactly what they described with the polishness of Rift. its game over for WOW IMO.
WOW wont stay number 1 forever..
Knowing arenanet, it will have more polish than rift. Dont get me wrong, rift has some polish, but GW2 is looking good man..
Ritualist in Guild Wars 1 has the exact same mechanic....so yeah.

How are engineers different? They've been in a lot of MMOs over the years and these look very similar to the engineers in Warhammer Online with different types of turrets and grenades.
I'm not saying they are good or bad for the genre, just pointing out that GW2 is not really doing anything original with their class design here.
With that said, the game looks very nice and the combat system seems interesting. I will be picking it up when it comes out.
Just watched the pvp vid. I'd like to get excited, but who is the guy talking in the vid? So far Arena Net has mentioned nothing in regards to PVP so I'd be a little skeptical until it's announced by them. Unless of course he got this info at a tradeshow from an Anet rep.
