An Australian Guild Perspective on GW2 Launch

GW2 Community Spotlight

Server or world selection for your guild can be a daunting task in just about any MMO, and Guild Wars 2 will be no different for many gamers. The process becomes even more complex if you're from a region outside of US and EU territories, but still want to find an active world for your guild to call home.

Today we have a special guild spotlight written by Trikki, the GM from the Australian guild Nocturnal. It not only offers an interesting perspective on many of the concerns and choices Australian gamers will face with the launch of GW2, but also gives some insights as to what makes Nocturnal tick.

The Spectator Mode We Deserve

GW2Hub Community Spotlight

Spectator mode is a feature a lot of Guild Wars 2 fans have been asking about ever since structured PvP was first unveiled last summer. The latest editorial sent in from one of our community members, Innuendo, takes that one step further. Rather than simply joining the masses in their request for some form of spectator mode to be implemented, he raises the bar by outlining exactly how such a system could work to provide the best user experience possible.

So if you're like me and are eager to see a spectator system for sPvP implemented sooner rather than later, be sure to give it a read by hitting the shiny 'read more' button below!

Guest Editorial: Itemization in Guild Wars 2

June 13, 2012 - 7:36pm -- Sardu

For our latest guest editorial, we have an excellent piece from the mighty Feral who many of you may know from The Feral Engineer. As the title suggests, it focuses on how itemization has been implemented in Guild Wars 2 and why token systems simply outshine the dated formula of raiding for months in hopes of getting a single armor set piece.

So cozy on up to the solar campfire (or whatever you do during the summer months while simultaneously basking in the warm glow of GW2Hub) and enjoy Feral's look at itemization in Guild Wars 2.

Community Spotlight on GW2Hub

For the next Guest Editorial here on the ‘Hub, we have another submission from community member Sylvinstar. This time around, he does a bit of nontraditional build theory-crafting. Rather than drilling down into any one Guild Wars 2 profession or build in particular, he discusses some of the behind-the-scenes decision making that goes into worthwhile character builds.

Dissecting GW2 Structured PvP with Condemned

In the first part of our interview with Louden and Falconer of Condemned, we discussed the guild’s decision to make the switch from SWTOR to GW2, some of their goals as a guild in the game, and their thoughts on the current guild system.

During our discussions we also dug deeply into the mechanics of structured PvP, including an interesting look at the pros and cons of melee vs. ranged builds based on the first beta weekend event. The following discussion is one that fans of Guild Wars 2’s structured PvP won’t want to miss!
