in Guild Wars 2
I havent had a chance to play Gw2 yet but I am very hyped because I think it will have a dynamic commiunity.
The only thing I am concered about is Pve...all the articles I have read are pvp based. Will there be a lot to do
in pve ? I am not super fan of pvp but do it when I have to but I love pve and grouping for it ..is this sort of thing built into
gw2?
I wanted to know from players who got into the bwe events for my info
any thoughts/help would rock.

Yeah OP. GW2 as far more pve content than pvp (dont even get why people call this game a pvp mmo like PS2). There's tons and tons of info on wikis, blog posts, videos, everything. There's dynamic events, personall story, dungeons and minigames. Seriously, i have to wonder if you're trolling because the info is quite literally everywhere.
Come on fredom weve had discussions about the fun of gw2 before ...I don't understand why one min your hating and the next your helping......
How is this trolling I have read a lot of the articles honest havent checked out to many videos thou dont want to spoil the game for me ..........Like watching the end of the movie first then watching all of the movie knowing the end. I want to be suprised by how good this game will be ..
Stop hating Fredom
I won't give you spoilers, but I am almost a 100% PvE person and I have loved my 4 chances playing the game so far. Yes, there are some cool quests, there are a TON of quests that don't involve fighting anything which means if you like to explore out past your level, you can still find things to do and get good XP doing them.
There are a lot of quests where the goal is to help a community with multiple methods to do that, some of which aren't always obvious.
Most quests auto complete for you, so there is no need to go talk to someone. There are a few "gather" type quests with turn-ins, but in everyone I've done the turn in person has been close to the quest (and they didn't turn around and say "Ok, now get 10 more), and all the ones I've seen have been open to everyone in the area, meaning if 50 of something need to be gathered you get credit for what you turn in, but it ends at 50 no matter who turns them in.
Ok, I've already said more than I should, the short answer is YES.

Start here.
Sure, htere are plenty of good vids to watch about it.
Totalbiscuit give us his opinion here: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=totalbuscuit%20gw2%20thief&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CEgQtwIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DA8-9VEvAmFg&ei=u1L8T6zpLM2O4gS3gviABw&usg=AFQjCNFGPHSVMH6a4ZxXiHvd2YOYBtjtEw
The PvE is interesting because it tells stories in a different way from regular questbased MMOs. The basic mechanics are not that different but it feels like a new experience anyways.
however, heart quests are not DEs as some people think and they are more or less regular repeatable quests.
DEs otherwise do not force you to have played a earlier event on the chain like quests, you don´t have to accept most of them, they scale and you can choose to do one or several of the options in most case.
If you want something less linear and more about exploration GW2s open world will fit you fine.
However the main PvE thing in GW2 are the dungeons, they are tough, interesting and full of traps and the DEs have taken most of the spotlight so far.
There will be some betakeys released before next BWE and it is said to be a free try weekend before launch, try it out. PvP have gotten a lot of focus lately but if you were here a year ago all the focus was on the PvE.
Yes, there is crap loads to do in PvE. 95% of the world area is all PvE. There are only a few PvP arenas and then the large World vs. World area for PvP. For every level range, there should be 3-5 zones for you to complete content in. There should be plenty to do, and different stuff to do, even playing through the game on multiple characters.
Due to the dynamic events, even when leveling in the same zone on a different character in the BWE, it felt completely different. There is definitely a lot of PvE content in the game.
However this game will not appeal to hardcore pve progression types at all.
Which is probably why I like its pve.
Flucking sweet times ......thanks hundejahre. love auto complete quest no time sinks yes...
So far from what I've heard. The dungeons which are the closest thing to raids are only 5 man. Where PvP WvW means that there's going to be a lot of members.
So I'm thinking that PvE is in smaller coordinated groups. Which PVP and WvW is in a MASSIVE scale.
Doesn't mean one is better than the other.
All the articles you've read are PVP based? Where did you find all those PVP-based articles? Most articles / videos I've read / watched are about PVE and only PVE.
Go to youtube, type Guild Wars 2 Dynamic Events and you'll find tons of videos about interesting DEs. Search for Guild Wars 2 puzzles and you'll get videos of the jumping-puzzle dungeons, search for Guild Wars 2 Ascalonian Catacombs and there are tons of vids of that place

Here is what i'm curious about though!
So what about these dragons? Are they open world bosses? If so, why couldn't you have raids of 100-200 people?
I can't confirm (nor deny) but I don't see why this wouldn't be possible. I don't know if the dragons are in the main zones, but if they are, then you should have one BA boss that takes more than 5 people to drop...
Anyone know anything about it?
The "Youtube Pro": Someone who watches video's on said subject, and obviously has a full understanding of what is being said about such subject.
The closest thing to "raids" are the big boss encounters in my opinion, like the Shatterer which requires lots of players to fight. For the lower levels there are bosses like the Shadow Behemoth, hopefully they'll fix the scaling and will become an interesting encounter again, now it is too easy. Other Champion monsters spawn during DEs and provide a nice challenge for big groups, often they require some work from the players as well, they don't just spawn around.

What is a jumping puzzle quest lol......no I am not going to watch the video . they sound awsome thou....I don't want to open the xmas presents before xmas. It ruins the fun for me . I read al ot of the articles on gamespot and here honestly . I like to be suprised before the game comes out for me playing the game before i get it kinda takes out the fun of it. Yea I know everyone has to play the bwe or watch as many videos before the game comes out but that just takes something off the top of the cake for me knowing something coming down the pike and not being suprized .........
Not hating Antshock. It's just that the majority of GW2's content is by far pve oriented. The game is atleast 90% pve. Almost all info points to tons of information on events, dungeons, and even exploring the pve part of Tyria. That's why i'm so suprised that you don't know. it almost feels like your trolling, when you say this is a pvp game. So offense of course. But, well, that clears it up.

this has some of the info you were looking for ..I just read it on here....hope tht helps
kk thanks for the info fredom....
That is kinda wrong.
Instanced stuff is for a few people, both instanced 5Vs5 PvP and dungeons.
But DEs scale and some of them can take over 100 players at the same time. as long as you are in the open world you can play together with a huge group if you so prefer, or run solo or with a few players in not so crowded areas.
The mists is open world PvP (well, kinda, it is a smaller world by itself at least) while the rest of the open world is about PvE. Both of them are massive.
Simply, I won´t give you info that ruin your GW2 experience because it is always better to do it urself. However I wanna mention, as ppl have already did, that GW2 has much to offer pve-players and that dynamic world that the whole globe is hyped about is actually for u to experience and to fall in love with.
GW2 was created to make a revolution and so far, even people who are not that interested of GW, have already given thier opinion that the game is '' great ''. I would recommend it even if it wasn´t as great as it seems to be, though it does.
So these dynamic events that have over a 100 ppl at the same time ..any lag issues or crashes ?
I never noticed any, but YMMV. As the game was still running mostly off CPU last we saw, it's hard to get a feel for how it will really perform just yet.
To give you a hopefully unbiased answer to the original question you're likely to get:
GW2 has six kinds of PvE "quests".
I've never had any lag issues with 50-100+ ppl around me. The engine can handle that and much more I reckon when it's fully optimised.
That's exactly what they did. Also note that a lot of events/quests have you do almost all those things in one Event for options.
I might get banned for this. - Rizel Star.
I'm not afraid to tell trolls what they [need] to hear, even if that means for me to have an forced absence afterwards.
