Guild Wars 2 Dev Tracker

Bobby, you might not like rebutting (or just expanding) here or the forums but man I really like when you share your rationale, perspective, analysis and insider dev knowledge. You did during the whole TUNNEL moment and you did get swamped a bit but I hope that doesn't discourage you from sharing. Sometimes we the player blaze right through content and get it wrong.

If you can recall at all what was the number of CE's signed in the end post and pre-launch? I have 2 of them looking to acquire my 3rd. One of them has less signatures (I've owned this for about 11 years) and the other just recently acquired (with more signatures and I believe it could be a pre-launch?). Not sure.

Does this only apply to WvW tracks or PvP reward tracks too? The patch notes only make it seem like WvW but just curious.

WvW and PvP reward track updates - how will this affect availability of mystic clovers?

Were you re-assigned back to gw2 because its development was going more slowly than expected? (2 month delay for the next expansion for example)

marking the first time we brought live orchestral music to the game.

Isn't the original score by Jeremy Soule live orchestral music though? Or are you using a different definition here?

I love all the soundtracks as a big fan of orchestral music (Not to be confused with classical) and I know Jeremy was among the first to use an orchestra in video games with Total Annihilation.

Matthew Medina has a series called Design Deconstructed where he talked about content he created for GW2 to serve as a portfolio after he got layed off. 

Back in the day I commented about what the purpose was of this random confused cow was in the Labyrinthine Cliffs and this was his reply:

@MatthewMedina 5 years ago AH, the good old confused cow! So it actually served two purposes. It began when the art director was giving the team feedback, and asked if I could place a piece of content up there to reward/encourage players to explore up that way, since they were able to reach that plateau on their mounts. And I thought a bit about what I could put up there, and I talked with Connor Fallon, one of the living world designers and together we brainstormed up the idea of seeding a tease of the upcoming Living World episodes (wherein Kralkatorrik was in the mists, and opening portals into Tyria). We worked up this story of a cow that had wandered into one of these portal...

I just crafted it after playing the game for over 1000 hours over the past 3 years.

I don't have that much time on my hand so I was really nervous about spending all of my resources on one legendary. I knew I wanted to do it, but it was hard to decide which one. I didn't want to regret it.

So when I finally did, it was kind of a leap of faith.

But then I looked at it on my character I was blown away. What great work you did. The details are breathtaking. It's honestly "too good" in a way. It killed my interest for almost all other skins, and now every character that can hold a greatsword needs all their armor fitted to Exordium to match the style :D.

Again, thank you for this. I really appreciate your hard work. It's made for a really memorable moment. I even called my wife down from upstairs to witness its creation. We awed at it for 20 minutes straight :).

Has the fix already aired? I just spent a lotta gems on keys to get the hood and it's looking terribly glitched on charr's faces

Hello there! As someone who plays a male Sylvari and loves long, flowing hair, I adore the hair included with the hood! Thank you so much for your hard work!! I pretty much immediately caved and went to get it.

(Also, not sure if this was you or a different person on the team, but the hair having two dye channels is fantastic - especially useful for my Sylvari, for the base color to be closer to his skin color and the accent to be another color. The gradient on the wig is really nice!)

I'd love to see this wig converted into a proper hair for all genders at some point, though that may be a pipe dream. One day my Sylvari will have lovely, flowing locks... but 'til then, thank you again for the hood :)

the design is A+, as a dude who had long hair in my teens I love it. wish I could still grow my hair like that.

cool to hear from the designers. the cosmetics designs are easily some of if not the best in the industry. hard to switch to other games and miss GW2s skins/cosmetics.
