The Daily Grind: What are you looking forward to at PAX Prime?

Special thanks to our own Larry Everett for the header image. Sorry, no joke in this alt text.

It's something of a tradition here at Massively when there's a major convention just around the corner to ask our readers what they're looking forward to seeing. We like to know what other people are interested in, after all, and while we can certainly attest to our own excitement, that's nothing compared to what you'd like to see. Heck, if you're not quite sure what there is to look forward to, we've even got a handy-dandy guide to all of the stuff promised to be on display.

So what are you looking forward to for this incarnation of PAX Prime? There's a heavy MMO lineup, ranging from current darlings Guild Wars 2 and Star Wars: The Old Republic to the much-discussed newcomer WildStar. Which of the many exhibitors are going to have you watching the news, or possibly traveling all the way out to Seattle? Or are you just not all that interested in all the proceedings?

Every morning, the Massively bloggers probe the minds of their readers with deep, thought-provoking questions about that most serious of topics: massively online gaming. We crave your opinions, so grab your caffeinated beverage of choice and chime in on today's Daily Grind!

The Secret World and Borderlands 2. I would Really like some more info on the Warhammer 40k MMO but I am not sure if they have a booth at PAX or not.

Not looking forward to any more news unless its a definite way to get into TOR's Beta weekends or some TSW beta giveaway. I do not have crazy connections to get myself a definite TSW beta invite so I have to rely on chance for both games...

I would like to see some solid info on SW:TOR release date as well as the sub cost.

This.

I'm looking forward to the Guild Wars 2 panels. Not so much the gameplay demos, just because I've seen enough of them from Gamescom videos to know that I definitely want the game and anything more is just spoiling content and/or making me want the game even more when it's still got a long way to go.

@Eamil More GW2 is definitely always welcome. :)

I know there are probably at least six months to go, but I'm dying for a release date.

@j1083

My problem right now is that I don't have any games I really want to play, so looking forward to new games is all I've got, which just makes it more frustrating that I have to wait. XD (This is more a problem with me than the games I own, I've just been in a weird place mentally for the last few weeks so it takes a really, REALLY good game to hold my attention and nothing I've already played can really fill that gap.)

On the bright side, Warhammer 40k Space Marine will be changing that in a couple weeks, if the demo is anything to go by.

@Eamil

I'm in the same boat as you as I have nothing to play at the moment.So looking for more GW2 goodies and also more game play videos and panels from The Secret World.

@Eamil Oh believe me I know what you mean, this year has been so dry...I'm almost wishing we could put ourselves in stasis till the games come out.

@Eamil
I am hoping for some reveals, like the last class. Probably mesmer, just want to get the actual word from Anet.

SW:TOR release date would be glorious, but I thought I heard the beta weekends would help determine that for certain, so i'm not getting my hopes too high yet. I'll be on the lookout for any new gameplay videos too. My interest in GW2 has slightly increased in past weeks, despite some of the fans' off-putting zealotry.

I'd like GW2's eighth class and the quarter they plan to release in, but I know they won't be giving that out at PAX, so instead, I want a SWTOR release date. Please and thank you.

I want a dates for SWTOR.

Open Beta
Official Release
When I'm going to be able to play

You know, all the dates!

@Equillian There won't be an open beta.

Honestly? The big patch coming for Minecraft.

As far as MMOs, more info on GW2 and Firefall.

Exactly this.

and maybe more Secret World stuff, just 'cos.

gw gw gw gw cant wait cant wait cant wait want cait...oh wait..theres warhammer too? :O

me want!

Counter strike Global Offense is supposed to be at PAX, Warhammer: Dark Millennium, and whatever else that looks interesting and that isn't "Star Wars", or crap I've already seen a 100 times.

Guild Wars 2 info mainly, some Magic the Gathering, and Wildstar.

Guild WARS 2, Space Marine 40k, I don't expect TOR to be ready until next year. No biggie.
