No Opening Cinematic?

Hullo. New to GW2, and I just created my first character. Upon selecting “play,” the game showed a loading screen with the name of the starting area and a little spinning loading/buffering widget. I was then brought directly to the playing area, but I thought there was some sort of cinematic? That’s what I’ve seen in a few Youtube videos I’ve watched. Did my game miss something, or are there no longer opening cut scenes? If there is one, is there any way I can go back and see it? My character is an Asura, if that helps.

Edit: I’m on a Macbook Pro running OS X 10.8.2 — just downloaded that last night. Can supply more information if needed.

Hi Ryadell, there is no way to re-play your opening cinematic, but you could create a new character with the same choices, watch the cinematic, then delete the character.

If you don’t recall exactly what options you chose at the end of your character creation, you can load him/her and press H to open the Hero panel, then select the “My Story” icon on the left, and finally select “I’m <Name>” at the top of the list. Your choices will be listed at the right.
