Jeff Strain speech at GC2007. [via]
“While it may seem counterintuitive to add features that support the solo play experience into an MMO, we believe that Guild Wars would not have been as successful had we not added these features.”
On the Hall of Monuments.
“… its very safe to assume that there won’t be any kind of direct correlation between what you did in GW1 and what you get in GW2 since the two games are pretty different.” My concern is that the HoM will reward players who slog for dozens of hours with a starter weapon in GW2 that will quickly become obsolete.
If you were a boss …
“Id be a super mega hard boss that makes all teh whiners go QQ on forums begging anet for a nerf. then the nerf comes, people slaughter me mercileccly, my greens ‘n’ golds will become worthless and people will go cry on forums complaining about how worthless and easy to kill I am now …”

I’m not sure how far I’m in GW:EN at the moment. A quarter way through perhaps?
The expansion has thus far been relatively easy. The only trouble I have usually is trying to figure out the profession of new foes. I’ve embarrassed myself on several occasions by casting Backfire on what turned out to be a Ranger or a Warrior.
(It’s a good thing Heroes and henchmen don’t have their own blogs. The things they would say about me …)
There is, however, one quest that might get players all hot and bothered. I’ll not give away details but suffice to say the quest objective location features a boss who will undoubtedly cause intense pain (searing even) to an unprepared party.

Conversations with developers.
“… he also turns off Local Chat most of the time, because the atmosphere there is very unwelcoming.”
PvE bot.
“… send your character out into a mission and watch as your automated input control systems take care of that mission for you!” Will there be a Hard Mode for the expansion?

September 7 and I have GW:EN.
The package arrived yesterday at the store I ordered it from and the folks there were good enough to scan in the access key and e-mail it to me shortly afterwards. I got the package today but I appreciate the effort the store took to ensure gamers could get down to evil-thwarting as soon as possible.
I picked up where I left off and put in some time into the expansion yesterday.
Seen these (spoiler-free) scenes in GW:EN yet?
Continued…
