"Well, to be honest; the official release will have to be slightly postponed due to rebalancing issues with the Elder Dragons."
" Whilst the first time fighting a specific Elder Dragon it will obviously be unique and unpredictable, but after that the battle would just be the same thing all over again; there is nothing new in a second battle, compared to a first."
"And our solution isn’t one you’d expect of a professional team like ours, or anyone’s. Our solution surpasses AI completely. We have chosen to exclude AI from the battle with Elder Dragons. Every battle with an Elder Dragon will be fully open, persistent. Everyone can interject with the battle at any time, much like any dynamic event. But the difference with dynamic events is the fact that the objective isn’t controlled by an AI script. The objective is controlled by an actual player. Or rather, an actual member of our team. We’ve stationed various team members to take a shot at playing the Elder Dragon Zhaitan from release day onward. There is no roster we’re giving out, so you’ll never know who is playing Zhaitan at any given time. But in the end, you’re never fighting a computer."
"Our release is still scheduled for early-mid 2013"
"Due to this postponing of the release, we have considered older concept art that was originally intended for Guild Wars Utopia. It has always been too amazing to leave it out of our series. After debating within the company, we have decided to develop and include the Chronomancer and the Summoner in the initial release of Guild Wars 2"
"The Crystal Desert is already being worked on behind the scenes, but that content is certainly scheduled for a big patch somewhere after release"
"Whenever you complete specific objectives such as finishing meta-events, completing dungeons, or getting achievements, the option will be available to post the accomplishment on your live feed. Guild Wars 2 players who click the link receive chances to get awesome free stuff, including unique armor only available through social networking. Do note that these exclusive freebies are weaker than items available in-game, as well as only temporarily available"
