All right, first things first, I'm just gonna apologize for my bad writing, I kind of rushed this statement, sorry. :P Second, I want to say that this promo video is definitely a step up in quality from some of the earlier promo videos, which is awesome, I mean GJ. But it still feels hollow, almost.Putting myself in the perspective of a potential player looking for an mmo to play, I just can't feel myself thinking something along the lines of "Oh, this looks pretty cool, i'm gonna go try this game out now." Or something along those lines. I'm just not getting hooked in and i'll get into that in the following paragraphs My biggest problem with this advert is that if I were a potential player, I'd have no idea who these people are. Are they players? Critics? Bribed hobos? Some way of knowing who they are through a mention like "- GW2 Player Jojomemester.69420" being placed just underneath the quotes or "The following comments are from GW2 Players." Being placed just before the advert starts would be cool or anything along those lines would be quite nice, especially if ANet are insistent on using community feedback, although I personally don't think using community praise is the best way to get people to buy your game, but i'll get more into that in my next point.I feel that using exclusively community given praise (Which btw I wouldn't know they were members of the community if i'd never played the game before) isn't exactly optimal. The main reason is that, the opinions of nobodies(no offense to anyone featured in this advert) don't really hold any real value, especially in such a small quantity and from an advert from the developers in which case the replies are basically 100% cherry picked to make their product seem good. Ofc as a GW2 player ik that the POF is pretty 8/8 would r8 m8 but, naturally, someone who isn't wouldn't. I would recommend getting praise from professional critics since those statements will hold more weight. Of course if that's not an option then stick with the community praise but if it's available i'd say go from praise from critics or bribed hobos. Bribed hobos are most credible, 10/10 would have help me study for finals again.Although I find the editing to be pretty good overall, I think the shot selection is slightly inaccurate. e.g. In the first quote which says something along the lines of "The Crystal Desert is beautiful." Why not show me a beautiful shot of the crystal desert instead of Balthazar? On the other hand, I think there's a lack of gameplay footage, while there are some exciting and beautiful shots, I don't have any idea how this game plays. Maybe showing some players doing bounties or fighting a boss in the open world would help.Otherwise, I believe the font could be more sand themed, especially since the fade in and fade out animations resemble sand being blown away or burying something, which is lovely, btw. Anyways, before I end this message I guess i'll just say this. Seriously ANet, you've been doing a great job lately, you've had your little hiccups here and there but overall you've been doing great and been getting even better, so keep up the good work. Well, that's it. Thanks for reading. :DD Hopefully my suggestions were unique and good.-Yours truly, some random nerd on the internet.EDIT: IDK WHAT THESE YELLOW BOXES ARE HELP ME PLSEDIT2: nvm fixed
