Ghosts of Ascalon

Pa smo le dobili datum oz. mesec izida prve Guild Wars novele, ki se sedaj imenuje Ghosts of Ascalon. Zgodbo, ki poteka leto dni pred dogajanjem v igri Guild Wars 2, bomo prebirali to poletje.

Dodatne informacije o knjigi najdete na FAQ strani.

IncGames Intervju

Guild Wars 2 designerji Eric Flannum, Curtis Johnson, Jon Peters in Ree Soesbee so tokrat odgovarjali na vprašanja o zgodbi, PvPju, razlogu za ločene serverje, uporabi orožja vezanega na poklic ter izkušnjah, ki so si jih nabrali med razvojem prvega dela. Celoten intervju si lahko preberete na IncGames.

While there are guns in GW2, will characters still have the choice of keeping the primitive weapons like bows?

Eric: Weapon use in Guild Wars 2 is restricted by profession.  There are indeed professions that use guns, bows, or both, as well as some professions that can use neither. If a player wants to wield a bow they will certainly have multiple professions to choose from.

Update: Martin Kerstein je na GW2Guru forumu objavil dodatna pojasnila o GW2 funkcionalnosti, ki dopušča možnost pridružitev guildu za vsak lik posebaj.

• Having characters in more than one guild is optional, not mandatory.
• All characters in a guild on the same account are considered to be one member when showing up on the guild list.
• Additional characters will not require an additional invite to join the same guild as another character on the account.

Guild Wars 2 Lore

TenTonHammer je objavil intervju o zgodbi v Guild Wars 2 in kako je prebuditev starodavnih zmajev vplivala na svet Tyrie. Na vprašanja je odgovarjal Jeff Grubb, ArenaNet game designer.

Ten Ton Hammer: What role will the player play in uniting the races of Tyria?

Jeff: The players grow personally throughout their quests, going beyond the race-specific challenges of their people to the point where they join one of the multi-racial orders (Durmand Priory, Order of Whispers, or the Vigil), which transcend racial agendas and face the greater challenge of the Elder Dragons. The players are keystones in pulling other people together.

Vse lepo in prav, ampak a nam ni ArenaNet obljubila več gameplay informacij v začetku leta?

Random Stuff

Medtem, ko oboževalci vneto in potrpežljivo čakamo na kakršnokoli informacijo o igri, se ArenaNet community managerja vidno zabavata. Martinu Kersteinu uspe zaštartati internet meme na Guild Wars 2 Guru forumih z njim v glavni vlogi, Regina Buenaobra pa izkoristi priložnost in odgovori na par vprašanj MMO blogerjev. Fun times.

Lepo napisano obnovo dogajanja prejšnega tedna si lahko preberete tudi na priljubljenem MMO blogu KillTenRats.
