Guild Wars 2

Hugh Norfolk, a WvW design developer, did a preview of the up coming Bloodlust in the Borderlands content. Video found here: http://youtu.be/8ciFk-dvUOI?t=15m50s Really cool preview, but the best part was summed up in one very funny, very epic quote:

• “I’m going to have to kill my kitty assistant.”

This was followed by the lobbing punt right off the cliff for the poor kitty. P.E.T.A., you can now throw a fit about this (but your cries will go unheard).

Lovely. 15chars/

Came expecting a derogatory racial slur against Charr, left disappointed.

A developer hits a cat off a cliff with a giant hammer (although in a game). How can one possibly be disappointed with that?!

Why was there a kitty in WvW in the first place?

Probably taking the castle on a late night zerg… again.

The cat was the best part of the stream!

Of course. Cats make everything better.

Good job with the redesign!!!

New wallpaper for sure! Hope everyone enjoyed the stream and see you on the battlefield!

Well, I couldn’t find one of a Warrior doing that punt move to phase all black through a drop shadow and same for an animated flying cat. Sadly, that’s what I wanted to do.

Instead, I did find a more relevant way to apply your quote to the Living Story…

I think I recognize that kittys portrait..

Your video was nice, i’m not so sure about the update but we will see.
I just hope I dont get demolished by servers with larger wvw population because they automaticly have the bloodlust.

i thought that cat was the one who took second place in the la contest that lord faren had something to do with

I command in WvW as a kitty all the time. It’s from the Endless Mystery Cat Tonic.

Nope. See the first image on the page I linked.

Maybe he could actually visit WvW forum and address WvW players concerns about content that was previewed? Ty for the preview, but it would be helpful if some of the core issues were acknowledged or at least some attention given to wvw forum.
