[2021] Anet, can we get Belinda's hanging dead body as a guild decoration? Thanks!

Two things:

1. Spoiler tag
2. You're a monster

The ones impaled by spears? Or the ones taken out in the riot? *ponder*

Do you think she'd go under the Plant category or the Architecture category? 🤔

This was a decision that was made far above my paygrade. If I recall it was partly a technical call and partly a stylistic one.

That's an issue of legacy "NPC chatter" triggering under certain circumstances (combat ends, F interact greet, etc.). We've since updated those packages for newer content but left the old stuff alone. And yeah, it's not great. Old content can be brittle and sometimes making adjustments to things built under different standards and tools (remember, this stuff is like 7 years old and was made with the legacy dialogue system) can cause lots of headaches. Not saying we couldn't ever revisit that stuff and either turn it off or rewrite/re-record but it's definitely a low priority compared to other things.

That's outside my wheelhouse and a much bigger conversation that would have to take place between multiple disciplines for a variety of reasons. And whatever would come of it would have to, in my opinion, fix or address the very reason the change was made in the first place (ability to have more control over those idles during in-engine cinematics). Not saying this to get anyone's hopes up or string anyone along. Just sharing a bit about game dev stuff so folks have some context as to why we might do things the way we do, or why certain legacy decisions were made by others to the best of my understanding.

I was HOPING someone would say festivals, thank you. I'm here for this chaotic energy 🔥🔥👏👏

Absolutely savage.
