Filed under: Guild Wars — ej2 at 9:07 am on Friday, September 28, 2007

The latest update to Guild Wars added a cool feature on the Isle of the Nameless: the Master of Damage and the Master of Interrupts. Now we finally have a way to compare raw DPS of builds and teambuilds.

What is the Hardest thing to do in every MMORPG?

Guild Wars Dev Anti-griefing and Gladiator Title Changes

Filed under: Guild Wars — ej2 at 4:04 pm on Thursday, September 27, 2007

Big changes coming to Guild Wars PVP. Andrew Patrick, the PvP Community Coordinator for Guild Wars, explains the changes in the latest Dev Update:

We are releasing an anti-griefing system for game types that use randomly formed teams, such as Random Arenas, Alliance Battles, and Competitive Missions. We hope to accomplish two ends: first, to deter players who leech rewards while not playing; second, to limit rewards for players who leave games prematurely.

Read in full here.

These changes sound great. I do not played a lot of PVP, but the few times I have there are always griefers, AFKers and leechers.

Special Edition PC Gamer

This is a followup to my last post. Gaile Gray (ArenaNet Community Relations Manager) sheds some light on the new mini pet and reveals the Guild Wars Special Edition PC Gamer:

* We will provide information for you today (18 Sept) at Noon Pacific. That’s when it was scheduled to be posted, as that was supposed to be a week in advance.
* The mag officially hits shelves on September 25th, so if you’re seeing it in a store, it’s early.
* The magazine is North American only, sorry. The NCsoft Europe Marketing Team devised another giveaway for several European countries, as you’re probably aware.
* I am sorry, I do not know if this issue will be sent to subscribers or not. It could be an extra edition, I’m just not sure. (But will try to find out.)
* This is an exclusive Guild Wars Issue, the first ever of its kind by PC Gamer. They approached us with the idea not too long ago, and I do think you’ll be pleased with all the art, all the info, and the helpful walk-through of the primary repeatable quests for GW:EN.
* Yes, there is information about Guild Wars 2, as written by Ree Soesbee, who is a team member you may not have met yet but will get to hear from more in the future. (Nice person, too!)
* Retail cost: $9.95.
* Miniature: Priceless.
