With the embargo on coverage and game information being lifted on monday for all participants in this weekend's press beta event, what are you most excited to see that you haven't already?
For me, it would be how well the lip syncing has been done for Charr. They're the only race with an abnormally shaped mouth, and I haven't seen any footage of their rehauled conversation mechanics. The best example I've seen was the Ascalon Catacombs cinematic with Rytlock, and that wasn't all too impressive. I hoped they've changed it since.

The Charr lip-synching is something I'm curious about too. Along with that I'll be looking for info on traits, the Asura and Sylvari starting areas, mesmer gameplay, WvW, dungeons and the degree of PvE instancing. To name a few lol
Only things I am interested in as far as gameplay is:
1. Info on the Trait System
2. Any forms of Alternate Advancement (since we know this isnt a gear progression MMO [thank god])
3. How the Mesmer plays
4. More info on cross profession Combos
5. And most importanly any estimate on when release is.

Best MMO of all time: Asheron's Call - The first company to recreate AC will be the next greatest MMO.
I'd like to see some good W v W video footage and possibly some new structured pvp maps.
Ya excited to see WvW stuff, and just get a better feel on how fun the combat is.
As far as the lips on char , well be nice for them to get it right, but in reality not that important since it wont make the game more fun.
I want to see some large scale pvp.
I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals.

Id like to see a bar brawl with people swinging around chairs and throwing mugs.
I sit on a man's back, choking him and making him carry me, and yet assure myself and others that I am very sorry for him and wish to ease his lot by all possible means - except by getting off his back.
Which reminds me, I'd like to see a few of th activities in capital cities. Polymock returning for the Asura? And what does the Norn Keg-Ball thing look like?
WvWvW PvP
I want to have a better idea of how practical and sustainable dynamic events are going to be. Also get to see more pvp footage.

Not to minimalize this but really, that is what you are going to focus on? I couldn't even care if they had a mouth tbh, in fact, till you mentioned it, it just dawned on me that they even spoke. I thought of them as short funny looking chewbaccas with teeth.
For me, would rather see the WvWvW map scales, terrain layout, in game features, and maybe a person's own description on how some of the systems worked while testing it.
I have a hunch that people (me included) wanting to see W v W might be disapointed. Just a hunch.
which is why I feel the same, I am seriously having my doubts this can be as good as it sounds. Not going to get my hopes up and have them dashed again.
WvW, nothing more, nothing less.
Mesmer, WvW, Dungeons and some good Competitive PvP footage:)
Also won't mind a 10 hour video of some guy just playing the game.
I cannot wait to see a Charr engineer in action in pve situations beyond the normal pve stuff we've seen before.
I want to see the dungeons on explore mode with heavy explorations in the dungeons own underwater environment, and how the group is formed.
I want to see some of the rewards from kharma points and i want to see one of the dungeon sets.
I want to see more than the combined press is likely to capture and share after a weekend of play.
Definitely am really looking forward to extensive game play videos of PVE, PVP and WvW. As much as I'm psyched for WvW, I think if a bunch of videos were posted at once, the first I would chose would be PvE progression, with a good look at Dynamic Events and the Story. Second would be a tour of the racial cities and the Home Districts. Third would be WvW.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but there's nothing I'm waiting or wanting to see. I feel at this point I've "seen" enough.
Wake me up when I can play.

I was actually wandering about charr lip syncing, the placeholders were really bad
But they were just placeholders in the end.
What I am waiting to see on monday hmmmm.... good question.
Will my body be ready.
The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true.

WvWvW is the biggest thing I am looking forward to.
Lip sync is ok, but I would rather they spend time on depth and function.
I havent read much on crafting/harvesting and other aspects, but I would like it not to be shallow, but that seems to be almost asking too much anymore.
Everybody is wondering about WvW and I'm wondering if anyone has read this yet:
http://www.arena.net/blog/mike-ferguson-on-guild-wars-2-world-vs-world
Gives a lot of info about WvW and certainly makes it sound promising.
EDIT: I realized I sound like an ***, what I meant this message to read as was: "Hey everyone, here's a little info that just got posted a few hours ago, cool right?"
I guess everyone with a clear interest in GW2 must have read that by now..
I don't think there was anything new in that Blog..... just that he said över a hundred of each faction in a PvP map.. instead of over 500 in total...
