In 2012 MMO giant NCSoft and developer ArenaNet released Guild Wars 2, a massively-multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG). Among a veritable ocean of same-y WoW clones, Guild Wars 2 was able to stand the test of time, and while others went F2P or outright went down, Guild Wars 2 still boasts a reliable and dedicated player base today. Shoutout to fellow guildie "Zach" for commissioning this month's exploration into this and other MMORPGs!

Unsere Moderatoren diskutieren mit euch über den aktuellen April-Scherz von ArenaNet und alle News rund um Guild Wars 2.

Kurz vor Weihnachten gab es noch einmal einen Blogpost von ArenaNet und ein Interview mit dem Game Director von Guild Wars 2. Die Moderatoren Sky und Durzan haben sich deshalb noch einmal die Zeit genommen, um eine letzte Episode des GuildNews Podcast vor Ende des Jahres aufzunehmen.

Die letzten zwei, neuen Waffen-Sets wurden von ArenaNet vorgestellt und es gibt eine neue Wasserstandsmeldung zur Welten-Umstrukturierung. Neben diesen Themen reden die Moderatoren Sky und Durzan auch über die vielen Angebote, die es nun am Black Friday gibt.

Weitere Konzepte für die neuen Waffen-Sets wurden von ArenaNet angekündigt. Die Moderatoren Sky und Durzan schauen sich diese genauer an. Weiterhin liegt das Update "Den Schleier lüften" etwas zurück, weshalb man nun über die Geschichte des Updates spricht.

Dando sequência em nosso assunto sobre o fim da criatividade nos jogos, queremos comentar um pouco sobre as empresas que ainda se mantém desenvolvendo boas franquias, com o foco na diversão e no entretenimento. Para darmos início ao tema, nada melhor do que falarmos da ArenaNet, criadora da franquia de MMORPGs Guild Wars, e basicamente a responsável por definir essa categoria de jogos como um todo. Nossas Redes Sociais: Instagram do Musubi Podcast: ⁠⁠Musubi Podcast⁠⁠ ⁠⁠(@mus.ubi)

Das erste Update für Secrets of the Obscure mit dem Titel "Den Schleier lüften" steht in Startlöchern. Passend dazu hat ArenaNet einen Blogpost veröffentlicht, der über das Update spricht und einen Ausblick in die Zukunft gibt. Unsere Moderatoren Durzan und Sky nehmen diesen in alter Manier ordentlich auseinander und legen jedes Wort auf die goldene Waagschale.

A few years back I got to the chance to chat with Rubi Bayer of Arenanet and discuss what games Rubi would had taken on a Desert Island. I had wondered if my first recordings had been lost to the either, but they have been found and will be uploaded. Enjoy this early DiG interview.

Sky und Durzan sind mitten in der Story rund um Secret of the Obscure. Doch dann ruft ArenaNet zu einem Ansturm auf die Fraktale. Deshalb eilt Ihnen unser GuildNews-Gründer Sputti auch zur Hilfe. Was die Faktale mit SotO zu tun haben, diskutiert ihr live im GuildNews Podcast Nr. 502.

Secret of the Obscure steht vor der Tür und ArenaNet überschlägt sich mit neuen Informationen und Trailern. Im GuildNews Podcast Nr. 498 diskutieren Darx und Sky mit euch über alle Neuerungen, die SotO und bringen wird.

ArenaNet gewährte uns einen ersten Blick auf den kommenden Gegner, die Kryptis. Unsere Moderatoren Sky und Durzan diskutieren mit euch im GuildNews Podcast Nr. 496 über diese neue Entwicklung.

Es war schon länger bekannt, dass ein Addon seit der Veröffentlichung von End of Dragons sich in der Entwicklung sich befindet. Nun hat ArenaNet die Bombe platzen lassen und die vierte Erweiterung "Secrets of the Obscure" angekündigt. Unsere Moderatoren Sky, Durzan und Orih haben sich alle Informationen genauer angeschaut und für euch zusammengefasst. Weiterhin wird über ein digitales Sammelkartenspiel mit Guild Wars IP, das sich bei NCSoft gerade in Entwicklung befindet, durchgesprochen.

Nächste Woche wird nach zwei Jahren ein neues Fraktal veröffentlicht. Es trägt den Namen "Stumme Brandung" und ArenaNet hat dem Fraktal ein Teaser-Video spendiert. Unsere Moderatoren Sky und Durzan nehmen diesen auseinander und spekulieren über den Inhalt des Fraktals.

Künstliche Intelligenz ist spätestens seit ChatGPT in aller Munde. Bei der Entwicklung von digitalen Spielen spielt sie jedoch schon länger eine Rolle. Wir haben uns Johannes Pfau eingeladen, um zu erfahren, was passiert, wenn man eine generative KI mit Daten über komplexes Spielverhalten versorgt und welchen Nutzen das nicht nur für die Spieleentwicklung, sondern auch das Spielerlebnis haben kann. Johannes ist Postdoc an der Universität von Kalifornien im US-amerikanischen Santa Cruz, wo er am Game User Interaction & Intelligence (GUII) Lab zur praktischen Anwendung von KIs in und für Spiele forscht. Sein Fokus ist das Deep Player Behaviour Modelling, bei dem er mithilfe von Techniken des maschinellen Lernens das Verhalten von Spieler*innen bzw. deren Entscheidungen in Spielen wie dem MMORPG AION bis zum einzelnen Tastenanschlag imitiert. Im Spielsinn Podcast gibt er Philip und Ben zunächst einen grundlegenden Überblick zu verschiedenen Möglichkeiten von KI im Spiel. Danach geht es um die dynamische Anpassung des Schwierigkeitsgrads oder von Aufgaben anhand des Spielverhaltens und wie damit die Motivation bei den Spielenden erhöht werden kann. Wir sprechen über KI-basiertes, automatisches Testen und Balancing von Spielen und bekommen einen Einblick in Wingman, dem wohl am meisten genutzten, externem Werkzeug zu Guild Wars 2, das Spieler*innen selbst zu Game Analytics einlädt. Zuletzt schauen wir auf die Zukunft von (generativer) KI im Spiel und philosophieren, wohin aktuelle Entwicklungen führen könnten. Wollt Ihr wissen, wie Spielende reagieren, wenn sie (unwissentlich) auf ihr Spiegelbild treffen oder wenn ihre Mitspielenden mitten im Spiel durch eine KI ersetzt werden? Diese und viele weitere, spannende Fragen rund um KI im Spiel werden in Folge 48 beantwortet. === Weiterführende Links === Johannes' Website: nevermindcreations.de mit Papern & YouTube-Kanal mit Präsentationsvideos von Konferenzen zu den besprochenen Themen Serious Game vs. Gamifizierte Anwendung für Gesundheit (YT) Taxonomien zu Player Modelling: Yannakakis et al.

ArenaNet hat eine neue Roadmap veröffentlicht und damit auch das nächste Halloween-Fest angekündigt. Unsere Moderatoren Sky und Durzan bereiten sich im GuildNews Podcast Nr. 457 auf dieses gruselige Ereignis vor.

Back in September, just prior to him taking a new position at Zenimax working on Elder Scrolls Online, Jeff Grubb was kind enough to sit down and chat craft with me. This is the man that helped create the Planes as we know them, ushered Spelljamming into the gaming world, and assisted with the births of both Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance! He has written many, many novels, short stories, and comics - and has been working in video games for decades. His computer game work has been for studios such as Strategic Simulations, ArenaNet (working on Guild Wars), Amazon, and now Zenimax. In this episode, Jeff shares insights into his creative processes, how working in shared worlds can be both challenging and rewarding, and the simple fact that his wife is a genius.

Austin Wintory chats with Maclaine Diemer, one of the composers behind ArenaNet's long-running MMO, Guild Wars.

Cameron Rich is a Senior Game Designer at ArenaNet. He has worked on some of Guild Wars 2's most challenging content including its first three raid wings and several fractals with their respective challenge motes. He conceived of the Olmakhan Charr, designed the Drakkar world boss, and designed the climactic Kralkatorrik boss fight and epilogue in the All Or Nothing release. Cameron is serving as lead for encounter design for Guild Wars 2's upcoming third expansion: End of Dragons. This discussion dives deep on Cameron's path through game dev beginning as a passionate gamer and talks through the intricacies of designing high quality encounters for MMO's. Deeg and Cameron also discuss the real sacrifices and collaboration that go on behind the scenes that make the magic happen.

Deroir is an ad producer and former Guild Wars 2 content creator. He's well-known for his fractal guides, lore analyses, as a podcast guest, and for having a set of legendary gear for each of Guild Wars 2's nine player classes. Beginning in 2019, he took a step back from the game to focus on other calls to adventure. In this discussion, Deeg and Deroir range widely, talking about Guild Wars 2's history, the relationships players form with games, depression, and content creation. They also take an extended trip down memory lane to revisit and reflect on the July 5, 2018 firings of Jessica Price and Peter Fries from ArenaNet, and the events that precipitated that sad day.

Josh Foreman is a Videogame Artist, Designer, Author, YouTuber, Twitch Streamer, ExtraPlay Guest and Stuntman. He is well-known for his 15 years at ArenaNet working on the Guild Wars franchise, and for especially for Super Adventure Box.

Episode 19 is finally here, and the most racially diverse gaming cast on the Internet has things to say (as usual). Join host Glenn "The Commissioner" Gordon, KGB Garri Bagdasarov, Ben Sterling, and newcomer Mike Harradence (officially dubbed "The Muscles from Brussels") as they discuss the news in gaming. YouTube is making plans to buy Twitch for a billion dollars, and gamers are concerned that like YouTube, Twitch could have an influx of ads and content could be removed for digital rights management purposes. Hear why the cast thinks this is not entirely accurate. The Xbox One will soon have an SKU at the same price point as the PS4, minus the highly-touted and much maligned Kinect camera. GameStop has reported greater interest in the Xbox One since this new disKinected SKU was announced, but will the difference be enough to significantly dent the millions-wide gap between sales for the Xbox One and the PS4? Free-to-play, pay-to-play, and buy-to-play are three business models that have caused controversy among gamers for years, and KGB Garri has something to say about it. Which is the best business model, and is there any hope for the others? Also, can Driveclub's microtransactions be successful without harming the community? Finally, The Commissioner has an important message about E3, and the cast makes predictions about what we could see on June 9 and how it will affect Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. All this and more comprise a great episode of RDGH. The intro and ending music are remixes of "Logan's Journey" from the Guild Wars 2 soundtrack. The intro is from the Sunny Glade level of Super Adventure Box, a dungeon within Guild Wars 2. Hear the rest of it and more at ArenaNet's official SoundCloud; the game has a seriously great soundtrack that's worth the listen. The ending is a metal remix of the intro song, created by very talented game music remixer, DusK. Hear the entire song here, and be sure to subscribe to him for more great remixes.
