Link won't work for me.
I can access your site but the link to the article doesn't work.
should be working now, hope You all will enjoy it
Not really any new info but the personal questions for the devs were very nice.
"Jon: In a recent PvP fight, I was attacking an enemy objective. When I realized the attack wasn’t going well I dropped my Warrior Elite Battle Standard knocking the enemies back and buying some time. During that down time I switched over to Greatsword and began kiting enemies using the Whirlwind Attack. After continuing to harass them for a little while, I saw my health was running low and began to plot my escape. On the way out, I used some change of direction, a dodge roll or two, and some blocking terrain to avoid the attackers’ projectile attacks. As I turned a corner while fleeing, I saw some allies and reactivated Whirlwind Attack while passing through my allies, buying myself enough time for a heal, at which point the two enemies chasing me had engaged my allies. I charged back in, used Stomp to throw the enemies off my teammates, and then finished one of them off with an Impaling Throw, Hundred Blades combo. At this point the second enemy turned to run. I pulled back out my Rifle, hit him with an Aimed Shot to cripple him, and then powered up a Kill Shot that fired off killing him just before he got out of range. It was at this point that I stopped and realized the game is still pre-alpha."
This quote has me pumped.
Yea, man! That quote was really awesome

That Cattlepult event Colin was describing really made me LOL (^_^) and it's great to see that they have a good sense of humour, without having to rely on obscure references that only a portion of the playerbase will understand (i.e. Magika and all it's damn Star Wars references).
Link not working, getting this error:
Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:User 'guild-hall.cz' has exceeded the 'max_questions' resource (current value: 10000) SQL=SET sql_mode = 'MYSQL40'
The site gets overloaded, it should work in a while, I think, that provider didn't expected that big visitation :P
if it won't work, check the first post in here, where the interview is hidden under Spoiler button
Cattlepult...
After that moment there, where my brain seemed to freeze, I have to wonder if this interview is the real deal. I hope it is, because some of the things talked of are highly entertaining.
Those dynamic events sound awesome.. had a good laugh.
Eat me!
Just a good confirmation by Eric Flannum in the GW2Guru thread related to this interview:
"Originally Posted by Eric Flannum
Hey all, just wanted to clarify something. When Jon mentions something being pre-alpha you shouldn't draw any conclusions about how far into development the game is. We've stated that we will have closed alpha and beta tests this year and we are most definitely on track for that."
Will it be possible to craft items comparable to end game items, or will the best items will be only available through rewards and boss drops?
Eric: It will be possible to craft items that are comparable in power to the best items available through drops and other rewards.
WOOT! Finally a reason to want to craft!
I hate and i mean HATE the idea of no healers, i think its the worse idea ever... ever.
However, GW2 looks great.
"Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one ..." - Thomas Paine
Why? Never played Vindictus or any other Offline Game like Batman? I don't see any viable reason why a healer class is necessary
Maybe he always plays healers. Still there ways of making a primarily support oriented character. So give it a shot, you might like it.
Yeah, I think that healer-types will find real solace with the support role. I mean, people who aren't just doing the healer thing to force teamplay are doing it because they want to protect others, and you can do that just as well with any class in a support role.
