It is monday in some places and no the NDA havent been lifted, today is just the day the press can start to talk about what they have seen this weekend, not the same thing
I think TotalBiscuit said it was lifted in his new video. Don’t remember if it’s correct.
Games need a death penalty to not only only incentivise good play but give the player an apprehension (not fear) of failure. The question is this death penalty too much, and I don't think it comes close. Spending five or so minutes using waypoints to repair gear is pretty softball but it's enough to make you think twice. Like other posters I remember EQ penalties where a single mistake could wipe you of days of progress. Someone above me mentioned Bioshock, which is a perfect example of a game with no death penalty. Walk into a room with a Big Daddy with very little ammo? No probs, there's a Vita Chamber in the corner where you will spawn with the Big Daddy's health exactly where you left it when you died. Adding a death penalty at this stage in development is not so much a change in philosophy I think,but a realisation that a game with no penalty at all is trivialised.
Well BFF at least is on track it seems so he maybe one of the first to be ready by 6am

So far it's looking like I'm on track to getting a GW2 BFFR out by morning, and I should also have lots of other content following it.
About this repairing thing, I would absolutely love it if you had to use crafting materials from salvage etc...a few tine ore, some hide, rather than just gold.
Some might hate that, but I would devour that feature.
I mean crafting materials + gold Not just crafting materials.
Also, for those who couldn't be bothered to salvage, they may even buy crafting materials. Not really a sink...but money being spent. And generally it would be another stimulation for the economy through increased need for crafting materials.
I hope they make a gambling mini game. I want to get drunk and play poker/liars dice.

Instead "in the night" put "in the morning"

Sounds like Mike crammed a lot of Guild Wars 2 into the show.

I received a day one ORAS demo code. I am a chosen one.
BFF Report main page links to the last game he covered. Tomorrow morning it'll change to GW2.
Why has no one mixed the music from this to the dancing pug?!
