Guild Wars 2: Designing a Cooperative Experience
Guild Wars 2 designers Eric Flannum, Colin Johanson, Jon Peters, and Jeff Grubb and artist Kristen Perry show you the history of player vs. environment (PvE) in massively multiplayer online games. Has PvE been about player cooperation or competition? Where is the PvE format headed and what impact will it have on future games? The panellists will discuss how they are developing Guild Wars 2 as a cooperative PvE experience and will break down how each aspect of system and content design can either encourage or discourage cooperative gameplay. Using specific examples from their development history, they will illustrate both successes and failures of different PvE design approaches. In addition, they will discuss the Guild Wars 2 player vs. player (PvP) experience in detail and share info about the newly redesigned Sylvari race and the upcoming Guild Wars 2 novel.
