Guild Wars 2 Dev Tracker

Hey all! I'd like to make sure I understand and hear more about some of the feedback, so I've quoted a few posts below and asked the authors to expand on their thoughts. Since the changes to Siege Dampener and Siege Disruptor were in separate updates than the wall/gate repair change, are those changes you think should be reverted in general, or do you feel they're no longer valid changes alongside the other changes made in the last patch? For the lowered stats on the Keep Aura, you mentioned that you feel it was overkill, but didn't say that's one of the changes that should be reverted. Do you feel it should be, or do you think it should be left alone? Can you elaborate on your thoughts a bit? I'm interested in what specific changes you're thinking of and why they aren't working for you. Since catapults have always been usable on inner and outer walls, are you feeling that the recent changes caused that to become an iss... Read more

Well first of all, congrats on successfully raising your siege turtle! If you haven't already found it, the Siege Turtle Advent Pack is currently available, and the Kaineng Lights set contains some siege turtle skins as well. To touch on your actual question as well, returning items rotate in and out of the gem store every week, with a different category rotating each week. You can check the "What's In Stock" section of our gem store blog posts, published every Tuesday on our website. The current mount selection will rotate on May 24.

Hey everyone, I've been keeping an eye on this conversation and talking to several people on the team about this change. I want to let you know first that we will be making an adjustment in an upcoming build to reduce the cooldown from 90 seconds to 30 seconds. To give some context on this change and what led to it, jade tech offensive and defensive protocol effects are intended to give players a temporary boost of power at the start of combat, not to maintain those boons permanently—which invalidates many skills, traits, relics, and so on. We also discovered a bug associated with players having both effects at the same time in a particular order, which allowed players to apply the full duration of both boons on demand in certain situations. In the April 16 game update, when we corrected the issue, we also adjusted the cooldown to more accurately reflect the intent for the jade tech protocol effects. However, the change to 90 seconds didn't account for smaller, shorter s... Read more

Hey everyone, I want to let you know that several of us have been following and discussing this thread for the past week. The team is reviewing the full conversation as well as some smaller, more specific details, so they'll probably be hopping into this thread to ask for clarification from some of you on various details.

This thread is locked but the topic is not closed! Please keep bringing your QOL requests and suggestions in the new thread!

As we mentioned in our recent blog post, the Guild Wars 2 Live Team has been working for the past few years to address player problems and introduce improvements to areas of the game, such as the new-player experience, crafting, group encounters, and more. Hearing from you, the Guild Wars 2 community, is a big part of this work! I review your QOL requests and share them with the Live Team weekly to keep them updated about what's on your mind, and the QOL thread has been invaluable for that. The previous thread recently passed the 10,000 replies mark and that seems like a good milestone to begin a new, less overwhelming thread to collect and track QOL requests. The previous thread can be found here for anyone who wants to read past requests. Thank you for all of your input on this topic and please keep the QOL requests coming!

Bug Fix: Fixed an issue that could prevent players from being eligible for some Super Adventure Box Test Zone achievements if they completed the requirements before unlocking the Test Zone. The Test Zone achievements are no longer locked before the zone is available to a player. Players who are missing an achievement they earned will receive it upon entering the Super Adventure Box hub zone.

Bug Fixes: Essences of Animosity and Certificates of Heroics can now be purchased from Legendary Commander War Razor and Legendary Retired Commander Burn Razor in exchange for Testimonies of Jade Heroics. Using cosmetic inspection in competitive modes will no longer display players' equipped weapons in the character model view window.

Got an update for you: There is a hotfix coming in later today that will address this!

I shared this with the person who worked on it--thank you for mentioning it!

Bug Fix: Fixed a server crash.

This is obviously not a promise or even a hint, but all I can think of reading this is wandering around Queensdale enjoying the beautiful peaceful scenery, and suddenly hearing the Bazelgeuse theme. So thank you for the laugh!

You got them all! They are listed out in the release notes along with the rest of the info about this year's updates to SAB!

There was a brief issue on the website, but it's solved now and all links are working again!

Passing this on to the relevant person! Thanks for mentioning it--this is a really fun festival for that sort of thing!
