It means we don’t consider a bug fixed until QA has tested the fix and has confirmed it is indeed working as intended. I try not to announce something is fixed in the next update unless I know for sure it is actually fixed.

I tested the Weapon filter myself so I could reply to this thread which is why I could post about it.

We are planning to add this functionality in a future update but unfortunately, it didn’t make it into 5.0.

Sorry for the confusion!

@MiloMtre please try restarting the game and then check the start of the armour list.
When you buy armour they get moved to the front of the list of armour.

Please let us know how you go.

Hi @MentalcaseAd666 sorry for the delayed reply on your ticket, we usually reply much more quickly to purchase issues. We’ve had an issue with gifting the Elite passes to players from our support tools which we’ve been looking into fixing which is why there’s been a delay. I plan to reply to anyone with this issue today after I’ve spoken to the programmers again about the issue.

You will of course get your pass and compensation as soon as this is fixed. Sorry about this.

Ooooooh I love this!!!

One of the old metas I loved (and hated) was:

  • Khorvash (sometimes)
  • Justice
  • Mab
  • Whatever else someone was vibing.

This was also veeeeery big for ages:

  • Divine Protector
  • Divine Ishbaala
  • Ubastet

A few troops had entire metas around them! Such as:

  • Bone dragon
  • Wisp
  • Fizzbang
  • Manticore (that was back in the day.)

To follow up, Kafka is correct.

I will be completely transparent on this, and let you know that we haven’t thought about the dev tracker in several months. It isn’t a priority for us, or something that crosses our mind. There’s nothing nefarious going on here.

I do login everyday, and you can even see that there. :frowning: I’m not sure what you’re getting at with that point, as I am here as often as I can be. (Sickness aside.)

Goldpheonix can also be seen logging in two hours prior, and he quietly reads the forums very frequently. That is already two regular visitors, outside of Kafka. I don’t see any contradiction in what she has said, as yes, we have been sick, and yes, a dev will regularly frequent this forum.

Not all of our developers are on the forums regularly, and nor should they be. They have other responsibilities, which is why we have a few people that gather data and feedback for them to save time and free up their mental load. It isn’t just the time spent on the forums that needs to be considered, there are also emotional side effects too. At times the forums can be very heated and t...

The Weapon filter is a programming task not a design task so there’s no overlap.

We want to support Gems on next gen but it’s still too early for me to have any details to share yet.

Yes but changes are still waiting to be verified so I don’t want to post about too much until it’s confirmed.

@Sipalman I checked to make sure it was random after seeing your post. 3 players were affected by the mythic. 1 got War, 1 got Arachnaean Weaver and 1 got Tina-9000 if I recall correctly.

Shared with the team, thanks for the laugh xD

We haven’t made any changes to the forum super recently, so I’m not sure when it was removed or if it was something Discourse changed at some point. We did update the website awhile back as you all know so maybe it got lost in that change somehow. I’ve mentioned it to the team but it’s not a huge priority at the moment.

Almost every forum post from Devs comes from myself or Salty as that’s our job, so hopefully that makes finding info from Devs easier unless you’re looking for some original post by Sirrian back in the day. I did turn a couple of his old posts into Help Center articles as they were still relevant as I didn’t want any good information getting buried on the forum in some obscure thread. ie. Guild Wars scoring and stuff about how our RNG works.

Hey, we noticed this and have already fixed it for the next update, version 5.1.

Unfortunately, it requires a client update so it’s not something we could fix on the fly for this week’s event.

Sorry about this, I know it’s inconvenient.

Hi folks, Salty and I have both been unwell in the past week.

Because of this my focus has been more on support than on the forums in order to ensure our players are getting the help they need even though I haven’t been as available due to this, and unfortunately Salty was unwell yesterday on the stream day.

We’ll endeavour to reply to some more threads later this week, but at least one of us have been reading the forum each day and making note of anything that needs to be passed onto the team.

I’ve been speaking to Salty and at this stage next week’s stream is still planned to go ahead.

EDIT: Someone sniped me :thinking:

There is a subset of serious players that love Guild Wars and invest a significant amount of their time and energy towards it. This is an important part of our playerbase, but it is also by no means our largest. Many of these players spend several hours in game weekly as well, regardless of whether it is Guild Wars week.

I’m collating feedback in this thread, so please keep discussing the things @Starlite has mentioned. I do not know if anything can be changed, and we won’t be able to run Guild Wars and World Events seperately, but I’ll gather opinions from here for the devs just in case.

It’s all on me team, and I take responsibility. I had a migraine so bad that I lost all vision and feeling in my hands yesterday and only emerged from bed at 3 pm after hours of pain and vomiting. When in office it’s easier for @Kafka to check in with me, but since we are working from home I went MIA. I apologise for any confusion caused, but I was not well enough to make updates.

Anytime I am not that level of sick I do my best to let you know what is happening, but this time it was very, very bad. I’ll work with Kafka on a check in system so she can update you if I’m this sick again in future.

That’s on me. I had such a severe migraine that I was in bed until 3 pm and completely lost my vision.
