“Based on the feedback we get from our current Closed Beta Testing, we will determine the next phases of our beta program in which we will open beta access to more people.” Another question, now deleted, also referenced the release date, to which ArenaNet replied, “We’re still on track. Closed beta begins on Friday.”
ArenaNet digitally sat down with the bacon fanatics at Reddit yesterday, answering any and all questions about the studio’s anticipated MMO sequel, Guild Wars 2. Along the way, the devs provided sought-after insight into the game’s stage of development: the Guild Wars 2 closed beta is set to begin tomorrow.

“Any information for closed beta release?” was the very first question Reddit asked. Here is the response:
“We will officially enter Closed Beta Testing this Friday. It will be marked with an increase in our pool of testers. To clarify, this phase of testing is still under NDA and is not open to the public.”
The race and profession of the player will determine the skills they can access. Guild Wars 2, like Guild Wars, uses a skill-based combat system, whereby players must select only 10 skills from a much larger pool, introducing an element of strategy. However, unlike Guild Wars, skill slots have predefined roles: the first five are determined by player’s weapon and profession, the sixth is for healing, the seventh through ninth will be skills with no defined roles that are unlocked as the game progresses, and the tenth slot will be for an “elite” skill, which is also initially locked. In a departure from the high number of skills present in Guild Wars, Guild Wars 2 will focus on quality of skills over quantity and will also reduce the overall number of game modes to reduce balancing complexity — one of the most common issues present in MMORPGs.
