Guild Wars 2 - Mike Ferguson on the WVW

The System Designer Mike Ferguson, a new blog post, has introduced updates implemented by developers ArenaNet vs. the World. World during the second weekend in Guild Wars 2 beta.
Hello everyone, We have been busy in recent weeks, analyzing your feedback on the last beta weekend, and we already have fantastic update to show you. I'll talk a few minutes on the changes and what they add in the next beta weekend. If not enough, I also have the final results of the last beta weekend! Only four worlds were encountered maybe one of them was yours? How is your world is compared against the other? Check it out below!. But first, a preview of the updates that will be.

Chat
The chat system has been revised. We spent a long time to fix the problems encountered during the last beta event. The chat room is now called "Say," and it has a very short radius around the character. We also added a chat channel of the map, making it easier coordination between teams.
teams
Even the Commander System we have spent a long time. We have made ​​it easier to get into teams, just click the right button over the name of someone and choose to enter his team. The team chat works in dual mode, allowing members to speak to their commander. Another improvement is that now controlled can check a list of people in their team via the contacts panel.
sieges
The siege weapons were balanced in various ways. Crossbows now have a slightly smaller radius and cooldown increased, while the radius of the catapults and trebuchet was extended so as to be larger than that of the guns and mortars. You can eject someone using a weapon that you have placed in the ground just to get closer and interact with it. Finally, we found and fixed a bug that showed the damage done by enemy siege weapons white instead of red. This will make it easier to recognize and dodge enemy fire.
These are just some of the many updates that will be there, but it is a sample more than adequate to show the work of recent weeks. Beyond this to the rest of the game have been added corrections and improvements to enhance your gaming experience in the next beta weekend. Be assured that we are doing our best to analyze the feedback from players to ensure a better first game will return to the world of Tyria and mists.

BWE1 World Charts
Finally, it is time for the final ranking of the world's first Beta Weekend! The first results require some little explanation. Each world has participated in three different games during the weekend, and each world has a total of six wins and six defeats. This is why a team that finished first in the standings has defeated two worlds, then took two victories. A team that has defeated the second end of the third, but lost the first and then he get a victory and a defeat. At the end of each world that is over one third received two defeats.

As to how we calculated the degrees in the standings, the teams have been ordered by wins and then according to their score. We use a version of Glicko System to determine the scores of the Worlds. There are two tables-one for North America and Europe-as the worlds from the same region is not collided with each other. The results and the grades will be reset for the next beta weekend, but we wanted to give people the chance to see how their world has behaved relative to the rest of the region.
