Vsaj takole pravi pred kratkim osvežen uraden FAQ.

When will there be a beta?

We will be conducting small closed alpha and beta tests in 2011. The feedback from these tests will determine when we will do public beta tests and ship the game. Guild Wars 2 is a very large and ambitious game, and Guild Wars players rightfully have very high expectations. We want players to be absolutely blown away by the game the first time they experience it.

Designer Jon Peters nam pojasni, zakaj Guild Wars 2 boj ne bo deloval po principu vsem znane trojice (heal, DPS, tank). Bomo videli, je rekel slepi.

We’ve said this a few times in a few places but I can’t reiterate it enough: We built this game so that they professions act as play styles, not as roles. Each profession can support, control, and do damage. We believe that this creates more dynamic combat and more distinct professions because there are more play styles than roles.

Eurogamer je tudi tokrat med prvimi! Objavili so opis, kratek intervju in video posnetek novega poklica Guardian. Gre morda za Guild Wars 2 monka?

In short, the Guardian evolves the Monk from Guild Wars 1. The sequel does away with dedicated healing, remember, but as lead designer Eric Flannum and cohort Jon Peters told Eurogamer – there’s still demand for that role.

“In Guild Wars 1 we had a Monk. We know people like to play that profession, we also know we’re not building a dedicated healer in our game, so we couldn’t bring in a character called a Monk into our game and say oh we just totally annulled his healing and took away his connection to the gods,” explained Peters.
