ArenaNet-Zitate

Die folgenden Zitate stammen allesamt aus den GuildWars2Guru-Foren, wo die englischsprachige Community-Managerin Regina Buenaobra sehr aktiv bei der Beantwortung von allerlei Fragen ist. Sie stellen teils wichtige Punkte des Gameplays klar.

Danke an Kvinna von der GuildWars2Guru-Administration, die diese Zitate in einem Thread versammelt hat.

Right, so this is what Game Designer Jon Peters had to say about energy in Guild Wars 2:Energy in Guild Wars 2 is a long term resource. It lasts over multiple fights. Every skill uses energy. It is a way for players to gauge how difficult a fight was and how cautious to play. This makes encounters a lot more diverse and in our more solo friendly environment, it allows players to push into higher level and more difficult areas and get into more challenging fights without killing them outright.
Guild Wars 1 did not have a long term resource. Energy regenerated immediately outside of combat. This created a number of problems for us. The greatest of which was there was no good way to balance encounters. Encounters were very binary – you either won or lost and there was nothing available to tip the scales of the fight in your favor. The only way you could tell if a fight was difficult was if players died. Most of the time this was either because they made a series of mistakes that they couldn’t recover from once they realized it.
A long term resource allows players to learn from their mistakes, makes the game more approachable, and together these things make the game more fun. You don’t just win or lose – you have time to react and time to recover from errors instead of being punished by death for not playing perfectly.

Energy regenerates slowly on its own, however, all players have a potion button attached to their energy bar. Drinking a potion returns energy and puts this button into recharge. Out of combat, this recharge is short. During combat, the potions recharge slower, allowing us to reward skilled play and balance difficult encounters against a finite resource pool, so that challenging bosses can’t simply be defeated by bringing more defensive and healing skills. Energy potions are the only kind of consumable that is usable in combat.

Since I know it is the first follow up question, we aren’t talking about PvP yet, but there will be interesting energy dynamics in PvP, but we will not force players to buy and pound potions to be competitive. Potions are not very expensive, they refill a significant portion of your energy pool and they will also drop off of mobs.

Also the second question, what about energy management and energy denial skills? Energy as a long term resource does mean that energy management is no longer a direct mechanic in the game. However, we recognize the strategy implications of this decision and there are other mechanics in the game that replace these elements and play style in a way that makes sense for the new game we are making.

Hopefully this addresses some of people’s concerns with potions in the game. Remember, Guild Wars 1 and Guild Wars 2 share a lot of philosophical similarities. but this is a new game and…instead of trying to explain it I’ll just quote one of you since I think this was as well as I could have said it…

Heyo. I was talking to Jon, and he wanted to make short a note about the PvP aspect of this discussion:

In competitive PvP everyone is on equal footing in every aspect, so the idea that someone will win because they have more potions than you in competitive PvP is right out. If potions are part of it, it will be in the skill of how you use them not how many you acquire.

- Regina Buenaobra

 

Hey, everyone. I talked to Kristen, who designed the dye system, so we could clarify a few points. The dye system you see in the demo is not the starter set you get in-game. What you see in the demo is intended to show you the flexibility and potential of the dye system. There will be different ways to obtain dye. We're glad you're pleased with the number of colors you see in the demo. There will be more than this number you see in the demo (and I'm not going to go into total number).

Kristen plans to write a blog post about the dye system in the future (at the earliest, it would be posted after all of our conventions). Hope this info helps.

- Regina Buenaobra

 

As our devs have said before in interviews, we're not sharing information about PvP at the moment, but they definitely won't forget the PvP side of the game.

- Regina Buenaobra

 

Nothing happens when you press 'g' in the demo. We aren't talking about the guild system just yet.

- Regina Buenaobra

 

Charr can run while holding weapons (two legs) and on all fours (where running is a bit faster, without weapons). Humans also have a running-with-weapons speed and a slightly faster run, after putting their weapons away.

- Regina Buenaobra

 

The "shadowy form" is called the death shroud. When a necro enters death shroud mode, she has access to additional skills for a period of time.

Hello, i want to thank all of the people that collaborated making this thread, i have been following news on GW2 for 3 years now, through this and site and officials pages and wikies, this thread made me decided at last to join up the GuildWars(2)Guru. :P

Now a question, in this link http://www.teeteehaa.de/gc/gamescom2010/ in the picture of the minimap with NPCs, you can see there is a Merchant a weaponsmith, http://www.teeteehaa.de/gc/gamescom2...npctooltip.jpg , so Repair Equipment? there will be armor or weapon decay in GW2 ?

- Veedash

Heya. One of our devs just let me know that this is text regarding armor and equipment repair is not accurate (You know how game development goes; things change, features get cut for any number of reasons. ). Durability has been cut from the game, so the "Repair Equipment" text referenced above is not correct. Sorry for the confusion.

- Regina Buenaobra
