  • Link Roundup: Personal Storylines and More!

    In their infinite wisdom and after such a busy week ArenaNet have been good enough to provide us with a comprehensive list of this weeks articles from around the Inet, so ehh...here it is!


    • Ree Soesbee touched base with the PC Gamer Blog for a talk about the personal quest chain, home instancing, character biographies, and a lot more. Plus: new screenshots, including a pretty shot of a couple of GW2 deer! We like deer.

    • IGN liked the concept of dynamic events, and adding a personalized storyline into the mix is just fine with them. “Every time we hear something new about Guild Wars 2 we get more and more excited.”


    • The ZAM staff continues its Guild Wars 2 coverage with a discussion of the mechanics behind the combat system they saw in action during a recent trip to ArenaNet!

    • Rubi over at Massively took a look at the new War in Kryta bounties, the inimitable Courier Falken (“Falken… PUNCH!”), and new loot! It pays to be a rebel.

    • Ten Ton Hammer’s “Anatomy of a Skill Bar” is just what it sounds like: a detailed analysis of how the skill bar has been redesigned for Guild Wars 2.

    • Kotaku digs the idea of character creation that goes way beyond just selecting race and class, judging by this post.



    • Authors Jeff Grubb and Matt Forbeck talked with Booklife about collaborating on Ghosts of Ascalon, the upcoming Guild Wars novel.

    • The French sites Jeux Video and Jeux Video PC like what they’ve heard about the customizable personal storyline so far!
