Guild Wars 2

Of the three people working on WvW, one is purely a tech guy, being Stephan. Than there is Tyler Bearce who seems fairly out of the loop from the two ready ups I just rewatched with him in it. He repeatable made false statements about the new bl maps during the introduction and genuinely seems pretty clueless, as well as going over the auto-upgrade system which already got scrapped like it was super awesome.

Then there is Shuai Liu who I can’t find anything about, so who is this mystery person? Would be nice to get some new blood into the wvw team.

Shuai Liu is not a mystery person. You can find his CV and the CVs of most other Arenanet employees from LinkedIn.

Here is the direct link:

Disclaimer: You might not be able to view the full profile if you only have the free LinkedIn account or your connections are too far from.

Shuai Lin is a server programmer, working for Arenanet LCC since Oct 2014 (1 year 6 months). Previously he has been working as senior programmer for Sucker Punch productions, Junction Point Productions, Vigil Games and NCSoft , Kaneva.

He holds a Master of Science degree in computer science and Bachelor of Science degree in microbiology.

He appears to be a programmer with very solid background in the industry + good education. He however does not have background as a game designer.

PS. Fun fact: several of the Arenanet server side programmers are female. I find this is cool as server side programmers (across the industry) tend to be male!

Gotcha, thank you for the info deniara!
