Guild Wars 2

Not sure you can answer this question, but if anyone knows I would appreciate it. I was wondering that as I played the beta this weekend: whatever happened to the guy who designed Echovald Forest. That forest was… was… err… how can I say it… superb? Marvelous? Awesome? I believe he was awarded some special prizes for GW1 as well, wasn’t he?

Don’t get me wrong, GW2’s art is amazing as well. There are some very special places across all zones and Divinity’s Reach is superb as well. Not to mention a very, very special place for me, which is Rata Sum near Metrica Province’s portal at night. If you look slightly up, like 45º above the horizon, that is CRAZY beautiful.

So is what we could see from Verdant Brink new area in HoT. It is definitely superb too, but it doesn’t look much like Daniel’s style.

Still current as of a year ago based on an article.

Wikipedia credits him for GW2, and claims he’s still with the company.

If I remember correctly, while he was not directly at TwitcCon, they recorded an interview of him for the Making of the Trailer.

holy crizzle! Under works-> ReBoot!

the game really is fighting back.

Yeah, I saw Wikipedia and Linkedin and all. But that doesn’t mean much. But perhaps he still do.

The Devs just talked about him at the studio on last week’s Guild Chat.

Not to mention, if he left the studio, I’m sure there would be articles about that fact.

Daniel Dociu cannot leave. GW2 is doomed, if he leaves.

Yes. He’s just amazing.

Yes he is. I’m pretty sure we can expect to be amazed by the new HoT art.
