Testiranje (QA) je zelo pomemben del pri razvoju programske opreme, še posebaj, ko gre za zapletene in ogromne online svetove. Član testne skupine, Jerramen “Yamen” O’Donnell, nam razkrije, kako testirajo pri ArenaNet.

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.
