Heroes and the new player.
“.. the better players in the game don’t join PUGs anymore. So the unskilled players are stuck grouping with only bad players.” The problem is experienced players, having completely forgotten the mistakes they made and difficulties they experienced when they first started, are now more likely to sneer at new players than help. GW2 is supposed to have a sidekick system and I really hope ArenaNet puts some thought into encouraging experienced players to take new players under their wings.

Where do spirits go when they’re destroyed?
The afterlife really sucks for NPCs. If you’re not resurrected for express purpose of being killed by another party of adventurers, you’re raised as a stinky minion or your spirit is bound in chains by a Ritualist.

Ritualist cosplay.
Impressed was Gobi. (See also.)

The Mesmer backstabber build.
It heals enemies, gives them maximum energy, lowers your team’s damage and has a self-destruct button. I’m going to go out on a limb here and state for the record this probably isn’t going to make the Mesmer more popular with PUGs.

A killer HM Hero build.
It’s apparently so good it’s probably going to be nerfed.

Armour combinations: the good.
Armour combinations: the bad.

Voicechat for GW2?
Jeff Strain did mention voicechat was in the works. Back in March. 2006.
