First of all, we'd like to thank ArenaNet for the participation in the contest. Particularly Game Desginers Isaiah Cartwright, Jon Peters, and the rest of the combat design team for screening all of the entries, and taking on the incredibly difficult task of picking out a handful of winners. Secondly, thanks to everyone who entered! We were blown away by the amount of creativity in the entries.
Here's a brief quote from Jon Peters on the selection process:
Quote:
We each read every entry and instinctually tried to pick out our favorites. We each probably had around 20 at that point. Ones that overlapped went through to the final pile and then we made cases for the non-overlapping ones that we liked the most. This narrowed the list down to 8, at which point we rated then until we had our top five.
You can read more of that, plus an individual analysis of the winners from Jon and Izzy, in the news post over here.
Without further ado, the winners!
Grand Prize Winner:
* N3verendr - 'Stonewark'
The four runners up, in no particular order:
* CrazyExcel - 'Plasma Shackles'
* grabus - 'Soar'
* nurt - 'Wrought Iron Bear Trap'
* Vulturion - 'Infernal Damnation'
Congratulations to you five! We'll be in touch shortly.
