This dicussion panel features answers and insight from ArenaNet staff members James Phinney (Lead Game Designer), Ree Soesbee (Game Designer), Jeff Grubb (Game Designer), Chris Lye (Director of Marketing), Katy Hargrove (Artist), and Katy Perry (Artist).

I was there and it feels like at least in the YouTube videos some of the questions were cut off. The one in 4 I think the guy who asks the question about game balance he defently rages a bit after he gets his question answered.

Any way discuss?

Well, they spoke to a full house. That was a large conference room!

The youtube vids are much faster. I like the hint of City of Orr and Glint they gave ;-)

I always like those to but I wonder what happened to those things as the end of video that Devona,Aiden and Cynn are fighting the thing with horns on the bridge.We never fought any thing like that.

Yeah, we did, though not in swarms. Those were the gargoyles, like the mergoyles, et al.

Phinney came off well, I think. Also, I really miss the original theme.

Not the thing with horns on it and that can't be the Lich and those look different than the Gargoyles.

I lol'd at the rawr guy near the end. I mean, I've got nothing against rawr, but the tone of voice he used when he said "you guys can come see me afterwards" (or whatever the exact wording was), you'd think he was a movie star deigning to sign autographs for the masses rabid to see him

I never pictured Joe Hostile would look like that.

The video was alright; it didn't have any new information other than the three books that are going to be released which cover the lore inbetween GW1 and GW2.

Haha, I thought the exact same thing. I half expected him to say "Don't you know who I am?"

I just want to apologize for my glaring bald head parked in the front row.

And the occasional Charr horn obscuring the panel.

It was a good panel.

I just watched this video and really enjoyed it. What's good was the "overview" film of Three Years of Guild Wars that they play at the beginning (i.e., in pt. 1 of 6). The rest was kind of dull, imo. Plus, the panel participants were hard to understand due to marginal audio quality.

The cinematic they play in Pt. 1, however, was well done -- and brought back a lot of good memories about why I like this game so much.

The section with Cynn, Aidan, and Devona fighting that monster made me wish they'd do an entire CGI GW movie in that style of animation.

Here's the link for that first part, in case anyone is interested: Part 1. My advice is to skip the rest of it.

I finally got around to watching it. It was tres ordinary. The questions were generic, and they didn't answer a great deal of community questions at all; and the ones they did answer were just the boring ones. I would have liked to have some controvercial topics tackled. Even if we didn't learn something about GW2 I certainly would have liked to have seen some new information on what went into (i.e. decisions, problems, etc) making the game we all know and love.

I lolled at the Rawr guy at the end. OMG he was so funny and arrogant.
