Guild Wars 2 Dev Tracker

I'm going to go ahead and close this thread--everyone has had their say and it's beginning to go in circles. I do want to say thanks to all of you who contributed constructive, informative, and thoughtful posts to the thread, your posts were interesting and appreciated!

Revisit Living World Season 4 for bonus achievements and rewards from October 1 to October 8! You'll receive an in-game mail with participation directions when the event begins, and don't forget to check the Bonus Events achievements category in the game starting October 1. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/f/f5/A_Star_to_Guide_Us_Wallpaper.jpg

Hello and happy Wednesday! Quick reminder! What we are gonna do: Enjoy it if you love it and tune in next week for different items if you don't love it. Enjoy yourself in game. (Because that's why we're all here anyway: we enjoy the same game!) What we are not gonna do: Yuck someone else's yum and/or declare that your preference is the only objectively correct one. The vast majority of this thread is already doing this, so keep it up and thank you!

I have a couple of answers to questions in this thread. It will not be live this month, but we are working on a WvW-focused QOL update to be released in an upcoming game build. We're also continuing to work on the VP changes for scoring that we talked about back in July. We're working on fixing some bugs that we ran into and plan to re-implement the VP changes in the live game as soon as we can. I do not have any information on a sheep warclaw skin, unfortunately. (Same for goat, camel, and llama warclaw skins.)

Now that Guild Wars 2: Janthir Wilds is available to play, we'll be archiving this subforum in one week and moving all active conversations about the live game to the General Discussion forum so you can keep chatting. Starting today, you can reply to existing threads in this subforum, but all new discussions about JW content should go in other subforums. Thank you!

I was out of office last week and thought I had updated this thread before I left--I apologize for the delay! We're continuing to look into infusions overall, but this particular issue with the Obsidian and Envoy armors is a different, unrelated issue. Since it's something else, I reported it to the team outside of the ongoing infusion conversation and they're looking into it.

The WvW Rush bonus event is live from September 24 to October 1. Play WvW during the event week for additional rewards and achievements! You'll receive an in-game mail with participation directions when the event begins, and don't forget to check the Bonus Events achievements category in the game starting September 24.

An update regarding purchasing the Janthir Wilds Expedition Contract: Only one Janthir Wilds Expedition Contract can be applied to your account. There is an unfortunate limitation on our ability to hide these Contracts if you acquired them through a Supply Drop, which is why they're visible to players who already have one from there. If you already have one from the Supply Drop and purchased the standalone Contract, please contact Support and they can help you. Apologies for the confusion!

Bug Fix: Fixed an issue that could cause a player's Handiworker crafting level to not raise as intended when training the Homesteading Mastery track. Some players may see a one-time notification of their Handiworker crafting level increasing even if this fix doesn't impact their level.

Hey there! I'm sorry to hear you're having this issue. If you could please submit a ticket to our support team they will be able to look into this issue for you. You can reach them here: https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

@willow.8209 I can! Tuesday's popup did not indicate a change to the User Agreement, there was an error that caused it to show up in the launcher. As the email mentioned, the updated Privacy Policy will take effect on October 8--it is not in effect now. When it does take effect next month, there will be a new popup in the launcher.

Hi, everyone, Welcome to the preview for the October 8 balance update! We're only a few weeks past the release of Janthir Wilds, so this update will be a bit smaller as we continue to watch and evaluate the impact of the new spears and relics. As always, the goal of previewing these changes is to gather your feedback before the live release. We'll be following the conversation and making further adjustments as needed. Thanks, Cal "cmc" Cohen Skills and Balance Lead General The Celestial attribute combination has been exceptionally powerful in WvW since the addition of concentration and expertise, and it's something that we've been monitoring for some time. With this update, we're introducing the tech to adjust equipment's attribute distribution and the amount of attributes it provides on a per game–mode basis. The first use of this will be to remove both concentration and expertise from equipment with Celestial attributes in WvW only, to bring it back in l... Read more

The summoning worked! Or it will work shortly! Notes incoming in the next few minutes or so. Edit: Ta da!

Thank you for the additional information, everyone, it was very helpful! We've found the cause of the issue and are working on a fix. We're getting it finished and tested and plan to have the fix to you early next week. Thanks again to all of you for the information you shared!

Hey all, a quick update on this: It doesn't indicate a change in the User Agreement, there was an error that caused it to pop up in the launcher. Sorry about the confusion!

Quick update: We're investigating this and it would be helpful to know a little more about the timing. Those of you who are affected by this issue (If you did not already share this information in your post): Did you train up the mastery tier and run into this issue after the September 10 game update, or did you have it trained up before and it broke with the game update?

I passed this on to the team and will update you if and when I get more info!

Bug Fixes: Enemies no longer attack feast gadgets Devastator: Fixed an issue that prevented this skill from going on full cooldown when interrupted.
