the information drought

as over the top as my obsession with information on guild wars 2 has been, there is no denying that there has been an information drought that pretty much started in early October when the hall of monuments calculator was released. The last profession reveal was in August, and there have only been a few tid-bits since then.

Whilst ArenaNet are seeming to imply that the info will stream out pretty quickly come February, it's been a bit nuts.

There are however, a couple of little bits and pieces worth looking at.

1 - There was an interview done with kill ten rats this week. Looking at a few interesting things like skills, energy, PvP and group dynamics - there are links to it here at massively's GW2 page. The info I found the most interesting is how they are redefining builds. What they were saying is that it is very easy in GW1 ti make a bad build - we've all done it (some of us more than others). In GW2, every weapon gives you 3-5 skills that work well together. There will also be a lot less other skills.

Elites, is one thing that will change. I think elites will all have a really long recharge (10 minutes ish) - closest thing i can think of is the forms that dervishes can use in GW1. They will "be a n ace up your sleeve"...

anyways... worth reading.

and

2 - Ten ton hammer have this article on release date theories

anyways, dunno if you care... but thought i'd throw it out there...

oh and lastly... i reckon the next prof will be announced next week, i know i've said it before...
