So i was watching the debut trailer from guild wars 2, and i was wondering what happend to some places that were shown in it, but are not in the game. Maybe i missed some of them (almost have world completion) and some places were early concpet so they’re a kittenanged now, but there are still some things that look really awesome and i think should be in the game. I hpe anybody knows more of these missing zones
Those were all in the game during development, and evolved with time.
When we are first building our maps we go completely for aesthetics. Then we slowly pull them back to make the map realistically run on min spec machines. This is how most developers work. Sometimes things get ‘scrapped’, sometimes the props are changed pretty radically in the optimization process. Sometimes that means we get to make things looks better because we can pack more stuff where needed. And sometimes it means we can’t. It’s all part of the joys and frustrations of working in an evolving medium.
