Three questions(Dev Team?) - Guild Wars Forums

Kalizear · Apr 26, 2005, 05:08 AM // 05:08

I'm sorry if this has been posted but I have looked around. I've just recently taken interest in this game, even though I've heard about it for months. One thing made me take interest over anything else...that the Dev team who made this are former Blizzard employees who made older Blizz games.

So to get to the point: Does anyone have a link to the Dev team for this game/can list the Dev's? Diablo 1 is one of my favorite all time games(If not my absolute all time favorite) so I'm curious who from that project is working on this one. I'm also curious as to who is working the soundtrack.

Just 2 quick questions not really relevant to that one: From what I've read, this game sounds an awful lot like a much more complicated Diablo 2 that is based on PvP(with PvE options) that would NOT require the extensive time that other MMO's do. I need to absolutely verify this because I still plan to play WoW after the release of this game, but many of the things in this game sound appealing.

Second quick question: I am absolutely positive this is covered elsewhere and I'm sorry for that, but it's just a quick question... What kind of penalties does this game have for dying to another player? I am personally hoping for fairly severe consequences.

Thanks. And sorry about the last 2 questions, I just want a definite answer.

I can answer your second question:

15% Death penalty per death until you make it to the next area or finish the mission. You can work this penalty off by defeating enemies or killing "Bosses". You dont lose any gold or any items and people dont pick your body clean of anything. Dying inst a big deal unless you are at the start of a mission, then it kinda pisses people off. :P

I can say for certain this is much different than any Diablo games.
They are only similar in the fact that they are fantasy games and killing monsters to get loot. There are quests to get prizes as well...

I found this info on the soundtrack: Guild Wars Sound Track - Jeremy Soule

That should answer your question about the developers.
