As the promise of an open beta dances in the minds of the hopeful and the systems continue a slow unveiling, Guild Wars 2 continues to fascinate potential players with even the barest hint of what might be around the corner. The team at Guild Wars Insider had a chance to sit in on a roundtable discussion with the game's developers regarding PvP systems, but unfortunately the full interview isn't ready for public digestion just yet.
That having been said, the team did unveil a small audio clip of the interview to serve as a teaser trailer. While the bulk of the discussion focuses on trebuchets -- a known feature that is apparently coming along quite well -- there's a fascinating mention of a new addition, siegesuits, at the very conclusion. While there are no further details yet, it seems that this is a feature that will be discussed in more depth in the full interview, which apparently contains more items that may not yet be ready for public consumption.

@7BitBrian yep no other game has been released with Holidays in mind... Also GW2 will have bugs at launch like EVERY other MMO.

I think it will be before August.
The reason I say that, is the Guild Wars Insider article about the change of author on the 3rd GW novel mentioned how the original release for that was in December. However, the change in author pushed it to an August 2012 release of the novel. A little hint, perhaps unintentional but I doubt it, was dropped when they said they hated pushing it back because the original intent was to have the 3rd novel out before the game was released. That tells me their intent is for the game to come out before August.

Am I the only one who imagined running around in a giant robotic suit when I heard the word "siegesuit"?
Because that would make me buy GW2 in a heartbeat if that turns out to be what siegesuits are.

No, no you aren't the only one... Hell, I'll even show you what popped into my mind at that sentence.

With DCUO being as good as it is now, Im kinda OK with this. Path of Exile should be dropping soon too, so thats something else to look foward too.
If I had no MMO worth playing at the moment, then I'd be pissed at the time they're taking. But Its all good.

Yep. With how some people act, particularly over at GuildWars2Guru, you'd think they have nothing going on in their lives but waiting for GW2.
It's a video game. It'll be out when it's ready. Every now and then new tidbits of info will be released to remind me how rad the game's going to be once it comes. Until then, I've got plenty of other things going on to keep me occupied.

Much like the game itself, I will wait for the full interview. I don't want to hear a snippet of something good, I want the whole thing.

This is taking teasing to a new level :p

@Xo1o Agreed, at this point I'd rather have the serendipitous experience of saying "hey they've got new GW2 info out", over this maybe someday they'll probably give me a little more information, which will most likely have something to do with PvP.
