London 2013 Community Meet and Greet Q&A with special Guest Colin Johanson

Posted 24/02/13 by

“Hey, wanna go to London?” I was asked, it’s not my most favourite of places so I was hesitant. “Wanna go to London to have lunch with ANet?” Okay, you’ve got my attention.

A luxurious train ride down to the capital city and before I know it I’m in a bar restaurant with a few other Guild Wars 2 fans awaiting the rest of our group, the ArenaNet guys and the guest of honour, Colin Johanson. We chatter amongst ourselves for some time and eventually Colin arrives with a giant beaming smiley, naturally. By pure dumb luck I get the best seat in the house with Colin sat to my left. I may have squealed a little inside (and outside).

Returning to Tyria… Again

Posted 26/03/12 by

Re-Returning to Tyria… Another month, another Press Beta.This weekend I dipped my toes back into the familiar but still shiny new lands of Tyria, 250 years in the future. I wasn’t as starstruck as last time, so I was able to hunt out certain things or watch certain things play out. Not to say I wasn’t a wide-eyed deer in the headlights, there was still plenty to see and do and a whole world out there I’d yet to uncover.

I’ve been paying attention to “What do you want the press to cover” threads on various forums, message boards and other social media outlets so plan on incorporating this into what I want to talk about over the next couple of days.

Guilds and Influence

Posted 20/02/12 by

Guilds were a big part of Guild Wars, a group of like minded players working for a common goal. For some people that goal was just to explore and have fun, for others it was Faction and money farming, or even a group of people to call upon for GvG battles or Heroes’ Ascent / Tombs battles. As time and content went on, it was pretty popular to find yourself in a position where if you wanted people to rely on for quests or missions or battles, then you needed to be in a guild, and not only that, part of the Guild. Guilds are going to be just as important or even more important in Guild Wars 2.

Guild Wars 2 – Press Beta Weekend – Second Impressions

Posted 20/02/12 by

Initial impressions aside which I spoke briefly about in the first report, this game is worth the hype, the years in waiting, everything. It’s beautifully made and polished and everything from the giant Dynamic Events to the rabbits hopping around in the lush, highly detailed grass. That being said, let’s get down to a bit of detail shall we…

Charr frolicking with a Golem?

It’s Friday Evening, a few minutes before 8PM GMT and all around the globe there’s several dozen giddy people settling down by their desktops and laptops making final tweaks to their video recording software, making sure they have have supplies to last for a few hours or a few days. Netbooks and tablets and good old fashioned pen and paper next to them ready to scribble down notes about anything and everything.
