Anybody notice how he says that in a future tense, like maybe they haven't really started working on it yet?

sorry 'too busy working on gw2' to give meaningful or insightful interviews

or properly balance gw1, or make any updates, or read and respond to the wiki etc

Good luck balancing competitive play for 8v8 or whatever while making world pvp not a complete joke.

and wut would that ideal be izzy? turning this game into a wow clone? making pvp stale by nerfing everything and completely changing skills at whim?

They left out the part that said the minute GW3 gets announced, he'll just drop focus on GW2 like a hot potato and piss off its entire PVP player base by leaving them with a broken game that gets one lame, random update a month.

Why break tradition, right?

I seriously don't know if world PvP will be any fun at all:

'Spike that Toucher!'

'Which one? There are 27 of them!'

Any gimmicky build will run rampart.

Nah, Necropolis on the huge maps is where gimmicky builds are at...

I've got a funny feeling that Anet will try and make World Pvp and the other PvP mode both succeed... and both of them will wind up failing miserably.

2nd.

Idk how you can be so bad at your job and not be fired.

I'm taking this as a sort of stealth confession that they have given up trying to make GW1 pvp balanced.

Krill · Nov 26, 2008, 03:02 AM // 03:02

I think they just want to be sure nobody sane will want to still play GW1 PvP after 2 is launched =/

Simath · Nov 26, 2008, 03:14 AM // 03:14

GW2 mistake number one: not firing Izzy and hiring an individual with at least a fraction of competence.
