Top 10 Meta-Reasons Guild Wars 2 is a 10

Dreams of a Sylvari Mesmer

A lot of the same reasons come up when you see people’s top 10: no subscription fee, low grind, high replay value, AAA, dynamic events, WvW, visceral combat… however, Guild Wars 2 isn’t a grocery list of gimmicks, rather, those features are the tip of the iceberg that is ArenaNet’s design philosophy. That philosophy permeates the whole construction of Guild Wars 2, from the broad strokes (pun intended) to the little details.

Here, I review what I think are the top 10 meta-reasons why Guild Wars 2 is interesting, and give some representative examples of how each meta-reason permeates itself into a wide range of design decisions. It is not an exhaustive list, because I hope to finish writing this article before Guild Wars 2 is released.

Guild Wars 2 isn’t a collection of gimmicks… but rather a powerful vision that will change the very course of MMORPGs for years to come.

ArenaNet Dev Team Share their Favourite Guild Wars 2 Skills

Posted 21/01/12 by

IGN managed to pin down the ArenaNet dev team to find out exactly what their favourite professions and skills are in the game. It’s  fun read and there are nine to read through. Here’s a snip:

Well of Darkness + Churning Earth = Rockin’ AoE Damage

Professions: Necromancer, Elementalist
“This is a brutal combo. A necro can use Well of Darkness to create a Dark Field, which blinds enemies in the area. Along comes an elementalist attuned to earth, who cast Churning Earth to cripple enemies inside the Well of Darkness. When Churning Earth ends, it combines with the Dark Field to deliver additional AoE damage. Guaranteed to rock your enemies world – in a bad way.”
-Ryan Diederich, Programmer
