I saw some of the TB video, looks like there will be a lot of content at launch with 8 dungeons with 3 variations each in the beta already.

For people worried about a console version, found a quote from a dev regarding the rumor:

Hey, all. We saw this come up on the investor call, and wanted to respond.

I just want to reiterate that the development team is fully focused on making GW2 the best PC MMO ever released. We have a very small team exploring the possibility of console, but there are no definite plans for a console version at this time. The core of Guild Wars 2 development is fully focused on delivering a fantastic PC MMORPG experience.

Some dev quotes on gear damage:

Morning.

Let me explain what is actually happening.

Every time you get defeated (so after you have been downed and failed to rally) one piece of your armor gets damaged. Once all your armor pieces are damaged, they will break - and you will have to repair or replace it.

It is very different from a durability system other games use, as you cannot avoid being hit by opponents - but you can avoid getting defeated by skilled play.

So if you never get defeated, you will never have to repair a single piece of armor.

Hope that helps, we have a blogpost about it coming soon that will get into more details.Martin

One important thing:

Stop thinking in GW terms when thinking about "dying". GW did not have a Downed State.

We have been testing this system for quite a while now, it feels very natural when actually playing and not just theorizing about it (And yes, I know that you all would rather play then theorize, we are working on it ;) ).

To answer another question: Armor pieces do not get destroyed, they just become useless unless you repair them.Martin

Anet tells about the different profession builds and team combinations they used during their tournaments. Good info.

Dev quote:

I see some of you concentrate on the really important stuff.

Let me explain what an overflow server is and what it does. It is a technology we also use as our version of a queuing system. When a map or a world you want to log into is at capacity limit, the game will ask you if you want to play on an overflow server - so you can actually play while you are in a queue. Once space opens on your world, the game will ask you if you want to join your friends on your world. And you keep all the progress you made while you were playing on the overflow server.

sounds far and away better then waiting 1-3 hours in a queue
