Gw2 Developer Interview About Wvw Season 1

it has long been said that wvw season 1 will come to players in october, now this message is confirmed by the officials of guild wars 2. in eurogamer expo 2013, we specially interviewed the lead game designer mike zadororjny to get more detailed information about this highly-anticipated world event.

reporter: it has been widely rumored that wvw season 1 begins in october, can you confirm this message?
mike: yes, that’s true. this is no secret, our administrators have revealed this news when they interact with players in the forum. the exact time is settled, october 18. it should have been earlier.

reporter: earlier? so it is delayed? what are the reasons?
mike: we delayed the beginning of season one, because we want to present a better user experience to players. you know this is the season one, there are so many factors needed to be taken into consideration. we are still testing it now.

reporter: what drives you to release season one of wvw?
mike: in guild wars 2 there are three modes, pve, pvp and wvw. we gradually find that the mode of wvw is becoming more and more popular. there are always players who keep asking if there will be some changes of wvw. we take these feedbacks seriously, after careful consideration we think changes to wvw are really essential.

reporter: you said there will be some changes, then what are these changes?
mike: north america will be divided into three leagues (gold, silver and bronze), which is much like europe. each league will battle each other in a clash of titans. the battle will last as long as seven weeks, in which players are able to experience the competitiveness of season one.

reporter: what are the rewards in season one?
mike: we plan to introduce bonus wvw rank up chests in it. in accordance with their performance, players will receive one, two or three chests as rewards. what’s more, these chests will apply to their account. that is to say chests are permanent rewards.

reporter: season one is coming, what do you expect of it?
mike: it is still too early to talk about the expectation about it, we should pay more attention to the upcoming twilight assault instead. but we have enough confidence. personally, i believe season one of wvw is going to be a success.
