There are a lot of Easter eggs scattered around in the world in Tyria in Guild Wars 2, that answer questions from Guild Wars.

Eric: The focus for Guild Wars 2 PvP and e-sports is to make sure the game is accessible and has broad appeal.

Q: Sidekicking in dungeons?
Colin: Yes. You get sidekicked down if you are higher than the required level. No sidekicking up though.

Q: Is there a penalty for changing guilds?
Eric: No. We look at guilds as groups of friends. I have different groups of friends I play the game with. Freedom to play with your different social groups. Guild membership is meaningful because friendships are meaningful.

In competitive PvP, players can be recognized by teams. You could have a well-known team with members from different guilds.

In competitive PvP, capture points are flexible as a mechanic. They're easy to understand and encompass a lot of play styles.

Q: Human females seem to be very pretty.
Kristen: sliders allow players further customization. Humans in general are idealized..

Q: How do players see cross-profession combos?
Eric: visual effects in-world, UI pop-up that says "combo." More refinements [are coming]. It won't be explicitly spelled out. Rely on players to learn and observe in-game.

Q: Anything more about guild features?
Eric: We will launch with the major features in-game now and will keep refining it post-launch.

Q: Rank emotes for PvP?
Eric: No rank emotes like the deer in Guild Wars. No special emotes for a specific type of game play like PvP.

Q: Will the Sylvari or Asura be playable in future beta events?
Eric: We want to expand content in future, but also want to avoid spoilers.

Q: Will there be observer mode for PvP?
Eric: Not at launch. We would like to have it in the future. We will talk about it when we can.
