Mif, you never found that source for me

GW2 combat is designed to always be there" (I can't remember the exact quote).

Yeah I thought it would be the case, I just thought it would be something interesting to mention.

Might mean they're either winding down from BWE1 or gearing up for BWE2..I'm hoping the latter, since winding down would be when they locked them.

I'll have a look

Found it:

The moment when traditional MMOs get a lot of fun is when a couple of people in your party die that you didn’t expect to die, or when something goes wrong. That’s when the game gets exciting – that’s when you have to think and react. I think those are the best moments in games, when you’re reacting to things you didn’t expect, or when you have to change on the fly.”

Mif... I have this mental image of you with a giant stack of links and papers and using your Asura powers to find all these quotes. You are amazing!

And yeah, I kinda hope it's a BWE2 but I also agree it is more likely that they got ALL the feedback they needed and just cleared it up for organization.

I wish they'd archived it.

Is that the only time? I could swear there was a time he said that, and that it was that part of combat that GW2 combat was designed around...

Agreed, otherwise we'll end up with resubmissions of the same "issues."

More than likely. They actually tend to repeat themselves a lot, which also makes it hard to find very specific quotes.

True, but that's what you're here for

You're MMOC's GW2 walking, talking (or at least typing) wiki-quote!

I've found something for all those lovers of the Guild Wars 2 Music. Over 3 hours worth of music from Guild Wars 2 that someone managed to get a hold of.

You guys move too fast, the discussions are always over by the time I get home! ;-;

After asking about the G13 vs Razer thing a dozen pages or so ago, I decided to take the plunge and get the G13. Those of you looking for more buttons might like this thing too. So far I've only used it kind of briefly with WoW, but it seems pretty darn nice, and I imagine it's easier to manipulate than all those buttons on the side of a naga (never used one though). The joystick works really well for character control in WoW, and I reckon it'll be about the same in GW2.

Now void the warranty

Scroll down the "The Mod" section

**DrakeWurrum** · 2012-05-09, 10:04 PM

The G13 is more like a Nostromo than a Naga. And I personally like the Nostromo better.

:Q

Oh my.

I might have a weekend project! So far my thumb is big enough that I can just manhandle the little joystick on it, but bigger (and grippier) would be nice. Thanks Mif.

untill the charr theme comes along

**Kelesti** · 2012-05-09, 10:13 PM

Is Guild Wars 2 capable of supporting "-image" launches to fully update it, similar to Guild Wars 1?

Good stuff, thanks

I couldn't help but notice that literally every track has 1 dislike. We've got a hater lurking these forums!
