PAX Prime 2010 -- Guild Wars 2 Interview

 

Guild Wars 2 Logo

 

As aired on this week's Guild Meeting hosted by our own DJ Tasha, this is a downloadable version of the interview with Randy Price and Jeff Grubb that I did right in the middle of the Guild Wars 2 booth.

I played the demo that they had open as a level 50 Charr elementalist, and I have to say that it has a great combat flow.  Casting felt natural, as did dodging around the NPC attacks and working with others on the map.  Changing between attunements was simple and natural as well.  I did it right on the normal map without needing to stop in a town or NPC to do so.  The effect of changing attunments on my battlefield performance was obvious, with a clear difference between the massive damage of fire to the more support role of water.  Both roles seemed to be very helpful, and I could see how they'd be beneficial in different circumstances depending on who was in a group or battlefield. The environment also looked gorgeous and very well done.  This game has polish already kids, which seems to be few and far between in the MMO market these days. 

If you get a chance to play Guild Wars 2 before release or in a beta, I highly recommend it.  You will not be disappointed.  This game is well worth the wait.
