Raid Designer

What’s your name?

  • Check it to the left. Is this where I namedrop myself for social media? Rad. @JasonArrr

What do you do at ArenaNet?

  • I was hired on about 10 months ago, so my whole time at ArenaNet has been working on the foundation for Raids with Crystal, as well as designing and creating the content. When I’m not making things, I’m usually telling Crystal how awesome I think I am. She generally ignores me.

What has been your involvement with Raids?

  • As mentioned, I was brought on explicitly for raid content. Crystal and I have been blazing the trail for what we think raids could and should be in Guild Wars 2. Now we get to see what you beautiful peeps think.

What feature of Raids are you most excited about?

  • Definitely excited to get players in to have fun with the content we have generated. That’s the whole reason I wanted to make video games, even as a kid. I love seeing people have fun while playing something I worked so diligently on.

What’s a funny story about something that’s happened to you or your party while play-testing Raids?

  • The big laughs always come from unforeseen bugs, like when a creature model blows out, or the AI decides it doesn’t want to be on this planet any more. I’m having trouble nailing a single memory down, atm.

What was your favorite encounter from the existing dungeon/fotm content? Why?

  • I love the kitty golems. Also the Jade Maw. And the snow one! Ooooh, oh, and the volcano.
