We’ll also be giving away gems daily on Twitter while we’re at the show. Keep an eye on our channels for more info, and follow us so we can contact you if you win!

“Character Death: More than Just a Plot Device”

Creating compelling non-player characters in video games is tricky enough—but killing them can be even harder. Giving characters a meaningful-enough relationship to the player that their death has impact—without making people feel like it was used as a cheap way to escalate drama—is a tricky line to walk. Join members of ArenaNet’s narrative and design teams to learn about lessons and strategies they’ve used in Guild Wars 2.

This Developer Session will take place on Friday, 5 April starting at 2:00 p.m. UTC (7:00 a.m. Pacific Time). You can watch live on the EGX Twitch channel or the official Guild Wars 2 Twitch channel.

*To avoid sand spray and warp incidents, Jean-Luc is not allowed to teleport during public appearances.
