Ready Up: Ep 2 - Friday at 12PM PST

#1 - Dec. 18, 2013, 6:55 p.m.

Citizens,

This Friday, December 20th, at 12pm PST (20:00 GMT), we’ll be airing the second episode of Ready Up, the PvP team’s bi-weekly livestream that focuses on just about everything PvP. This will be our last show of 2013 – but don’t worry – we’ll be back sometime in January.

John Corpening, PvP Team Lead, will be on hand to talk PvP in 2013, review the December 10th update, recap what we’re working on for 2014, and answer a few questions from the forums.

Speaking of questions, feel free to respond to this thread with any questions you might have for John and myself.

You can find the livestream here: http://www.twitch.tv/guildwars2

If you didn’t see the last episode, you can catch it here.

This is growing quickly! Thanks for the questions so far, folks. I’m about to head out of the office, but I’ll check up on the thread first thing in the morning.

Let’s keep discussion about Ready Up to one thread. Merged similar topics.

I’ll start responding to posts in a few minutes.

Well, Josh did say they were going to have devs from the Skills and Balance Team on their next stream in early January.

But a dedicated S&B stream would be great, with its own Q&A session.

The Skills and Balance team will be on the show sometime next month. I mentioned this during the show a few times. While John C works almost exclusively on the PvP “infrastructure”, my job as Community Coordinator allows me to be a bit more flexible. Starting next year, I’ll be embedded with the PvP team as well as the Skills and Balance team, essentially acting as the liaison between those teams and our community. This is a role I’ve a bit of experience in.

I spend an inordinate amount of time collecting feedback from players, be it on the forums, in-game, or in a teamspeak/ventrilo. When we come back from vacation we’ll jump right into things once again and let you know what’s coming.

Oh, as a side note, if you haven’t caught the forum post announcing it, next year we’ll be opening up a new Profession Balance sub-forum for the entire game. The Balance team and myself will be a constant presence in the new forum. It will be A LOT easier for us to engage in balance discussion when we don’t keep everything in a vacuum (profession forums).
