Guild Wars 2 due in 2012, beta in March

Guild Wars 2: Designing a cooperative experience

PAX 2011: ArenaNet details its new approach to massively multiplayer online role-playing games, from scrapping loot drops to shaking up the standard party makeup.

Who was there: Various members of ArenaNet, including Eric Flannum and Colin Johanson.

What they talked about: This full-to-capacity panel revolved around ArenaNet's long-awaited massively multiplayer online role-playing game sequel, acting as a primer to give fans and newcomers and an idea of what to expect when Guild Wars 2 launches. The panelists discussed a number of different ways in which they are building a game that is meant to be played with others and how much more beneficial it will be when cooperating with friends or strangers in the long run.

While Guild Wars 2 does, in fact, have a single-player story campaign, the entire world changes based on the actions of the population. What happens in the world today may drastically change future events. Noticing that mission structures in other massively multiplayer online games would often have people competing against each other in order to complete the same objective, the developers decided missions should instead be cooperative and that everyone who is involved in any particular situation should be working with others to complete the task.

Mission difficulty will vary depending on the number of players involved. The term "dynamic" was used frequently to describe many functions within the game. On top of that, everyone who takes part in a particular mission or dungeon will earn participation points, regardless of what their function was. Be they healers, archers, or tank characters, every player will earn rewards for his or her efforts.

Regarding those rewards, gone are the loot drops that would often leave players with items that are useless to their characters. In their place, players will be rewarded with tokens that can then be redeemed for the items they want. Just like money, players can spend those tokens all at once or save them up and get the item that will really help their characters out.

Further discussion about the cooperative experience made mention that higher-level players will not have to create a new character in order to play with new players or friends. With the sidekicks system in place, higher-level characters will drop to a level matching their friends' levels, so they can still reap benefits and gain experience without having to develop a new character.

But the most interesting talk regarding dynamics dealt with the game's dungeons. One issue ArenaNet identified that plagued other MMO games was the reliance on "the trinity" of characters to complete a particular instance. If a team didn't contain the three--a tank, a healer, and a damage-per-second specialist--the likelihood of success was greatly reduced. In Guild Wars 2, the dungeons are being designed so that any group of five can tackle them and, in theory, complete them with little to no modification made to the party. Details regarding this were not too specific, but expect to hear more about this in the future.

Guild Wars 2 continues to "wow" players, even with no clear release window.

Takeaway: Much of the panel was devoted to recapping previously announced facts instead of revealing new ones. And unfortunately there is still no word on when fans can expect the game to be released.

Continent of the Ninth Seal News - Talking C9 with Webzen

While attending the Continent of the Ninth Seal (C9) launch event in South Korea, we managed to score some face-time with the Webzen developers behind the game and today we're bringing you the full interview.

MMORPG: C9 is entering a crowded MMO space. As an action MORPG and free to play, what features of C9 do you feel will excite veteran MMO-ers, as well as attract and appeal to people who have not experienced MMOs?

C9: For veteran MMO-ers there are two aspects of C9 they can enjoy. One is the strong PVP content with precise controls and the variety of combos. The other is the “Intrusion” gameplay in PvP which allows players to intrude into other player’s instanced dungeon to take over the map and goods. Players with less experience in MMOs and PvP may learn the basics through the tutorial and start practicing for the combos and skills through PVE dungeon runs.

World of Warcraft : The New Pet System

In his latest article, MMORPG.com Managing Editor Bill Murphy takes a look at the new pet system coming with Mists of Pandaria, the upcoming Pandaren-filled fourth expansion to Blizzard's World of Warcraft. Pets in World of Warcraft have traditionally been for little more than show and bragging rights. I remember logging in for the first time in November of 2004 with my Collector's Edition in tow, and excited to pick my mini diablo, my panda, or my zergling pet. They didn't do anything. The panda was cute as hell but just slept on the ground while I fought. wow power leveling. All that is about to change when Mists of Pandaria launches and along with many other things the Pet System receives a complete overhaul.

Two-handed frost joins frost tanking in the trash heap

I don't like making this prediction. I like two-handed frost's playing style. It's fast and furious and requires some whack-a-mole gameplay that can be surprisingly fun without being out of control, even more so than dual wield frost. That said, Blizzard's been trying and failing to balance it all expansion. Might of the Frozen Wastes has ridden a buff and nerf roller coaster, and currently, it's pretty much fallen off. Two-handed frost is at the bottom of the barrel, and there's no current indication Blizzard cares to scrape it off until at least patch 5.0.

This is why, much like we lost all types of tanking but blood at the beginning of this expansion, the beginning of the next will see us losing access to two-handed weapons as frost. Blizzard does make this type of flexibility experiments, but it almost always reverts to one weapon type per tree. Warriors have two-handed for arms and dual wielding for fury. Enhancement shaman get to dual wield and dual wield only, even if they once wieldedSulfuras to the dismay of Alliance PVPers everywhere.

I believe we'll see the same thing with death knights. If you want to tank, you pick up a two-handed sword. If you want to dual wield tank, you're out of luck. Taking this philosophy to the DPS tree is the next step. If you want to dual wield DPS, you go to the frost tree. In both cases, Blizzard has actively quashed any attempts at dual wield tanking or dual wield unholy DPS for many patches. Frost is the next victim of this philosophy. If you want to do two-handed frost, you will be bottom of the barrel. Might of the Frozen Wastes will be gone, and there will just simply be no way to overcome dual wield's superior weapon damage.
If you want to DPS with a two-handed weapon in Pandaria, you'll need to learn to live with inferior AoE, pet management, and a rune rotation that's different from the other two trees in some pretty basic ways. ... unless, of course, my third prediction comes true.

An extensive revamp for unholy

Unholy has been on a huge roller coaster for quite some time. It started when Scourge Strikewas changed from a frost and unholy rune spender to unholy only, and a completely new strike, Festering Strike, was created just to allow that to work. The ghoul pet has been buffed, then nerfed, then buffed again, and Scourge Strike and Death Coil have seen similar nerfs. Runic Empowerment was found to clash with unholy so badly that Runic Corruptionwas created and proved effective enough that probably everyone and his mother will take it inMists of Pandaria if it remains in the talent tree.

Still, unholy has lagged behind frost in damage and popularity for much of Cataclysm, ever since the infamous patch 4.0.6 hot fixes. There are a variety of reasons for this. There's the trouble of dealing with a pet. There's a rune spending rotation that goes against the other two trees. There's the lack of weapon scaling due to so much damage being wrapped up in Death Coil and the ghoul. There's the lack of burst damage due to the long ramp-up time for said ghoul's damage and power moves. There's the lack of decent AoE damage, certainly nothing close to Howling Blast.

Now, two-handed unholy is currently doing pretty well, but that's primarily because the proc on the top DPS weapon of this tier stacks with unholy mastery. That isn't going to carry over into Mists of Pandaria, so something else obviously needs to be done.

I think the first step is to put Scourge Strike back on a 1 frost, 1 unholy rune cost. You'd then either make Festering Strike a blood rune strike, or bring back Blood Strike. This would put unholy back in sync with the other trees, making it easier for an inexperienced or new death knight to slip into unholy from another tree -- something that might be extra needed if Blizzard removes all support for two-handed DPS from the frost tree. This doesn't solve the DPS problems, per se, but it does the make the tree more intuitive and easier for new players to grasp, something Blizzard really should do to attract new players.

Fixing the actual rest of the tree is going to be a taller order. At the least, I suspect we'll seeDark Transformation get unlinked from Shadow Infusion in order to give unholy death knights another burst button to push, or we may see Shadow Infusion take fewer stacks to cap out.

Blizzard will also need to find some new solution for AoE damage. In theory, the AoE abilities in the top tier of the new talent trees might fix that, but seeing as the devs will need to balance those abilities around the fact that frost DPSers will take them and pair them withHowling Blast, they'll probably need to give something else to unholy death knights to bridge the gap. I doubt we'll get the original AoE Unholy Blight back, but a boy can dream.

Regardless, if any tree gets changed extensively in patch 5.0, expect it to be unholy. The disease and pet-centric game play will remain at the core, but everything around has to changed if it's going to be competitive without relying on gimmicks (no matter how fun they are) like the Gurthalak proc.
