Guild Wars 2 Activities Details

Expanding on IGN's recent interview about the non-killing activities in Guild Wars 2, ArenaNet has produced some additional details about the title's mini-games. Bar brawling, shooting ranges, and snowball fights are all on the agenda:
The bar brawl is, quite literally, all about downing an ale and breaking the empty bottle over someone else's head. Ales come in several different flavors, each conveying different effects when consumed for example, Grenth's Grog goes down easy but comes up rough, allowing the player to belch out a noxious gas cloud. As you might imagine, this burp cloud is unhealthy to anyone foolish enough to get close, as well as unattractive to prospective dates. Be careful when imbibing ale! As characters become increasingly more drunk, their chance to land a critical hit rises.as well as their chance to totally miss with attacks. In the bar brawl, players can choose to throw an ale bottle to stun someone, or use it as a makeshift bludgeoning object. Bottles have a chance to break on impact, but if that happens, the fun isn't over yet you can use your broken bottle to shank people!

Maybe ale isn't your thing and you'd prefer to use a weapon that's a little closer at hand what's a brawl without being able to punch someone? Outside weapons aren't allowed in the bar brawl, so you'll have to rely on your fists and feet a lot. Kick someone into a table, splintering it into pieces, then send another opponent flying by swatting them with one of the boards from the broken table. Use your surroundings to your advantage! If you see someone else engaged in a fight,why not be the opportunist and chuck a keg at them from behind? There's no teamwork here; you're in it for yourself, and just like an actual brawl, you're encouraged to fight dirty in order to win.
