During release weeks or when I'm in the mood I might play 1-2 hours per night (7-14 hrs./week). But when I'm taking it slow I might pop in for a few hours per week. Depends on what's going on in life, my energy level, mental state, etc.

I've done some test patching via VMs and VPNs in several cities around the world; as of last night I'm not getting any errors at all. If you've been stuck, please give it another try.

Didn't wanna bother in game but I'd like to extend my appreciation for everyone that makes Tyria posible. Like I said before when we were waiting in the eye of the north for Dragonstorm to start, you all really gave me a safe spot, a place were I can be at ease and feel free, somewhere I feel truly happy.

So is indeed the bundle a reference to your character? We would like to have a direct confirmation for the wiki, if you don't mind :)

And have you created the cat backpack as well?

Correct and yes!

I was wondering if you did that or it was a reference! I got a good giggle seeing the name. <3

(btw I should do a redraw of her at some point)

Hey Dag! ❤️ omg I would love that. I still treasure the first one.

Now we better get a screenshot of your character wearing it once it releases!

Absolutely!

I think the best part about this is that the pinned achievements are both fishing achievements

I belive there's an ANet employee with a character called Zharra something-something.

It me! Zharra Embermane

Well, it's still gave me a chuckle a couple months ago when I first noticed it.

Yay!

Yup. Something like "Who wants a horse that talks back?"

I wrote that silly ambient scene like 15 years ago. LOL

Doesn't really have anything to do with it. It's more about server infrastructure and each game's technical design.

Downtime isn't a thing for GW1/GW2 because, to the extent that they have or have had in-game "worlds," they are distinct from the underlying server architecture, while an FFXIV data center or world is tied to specific hardware and characters are tied to those worlds.

With GW1/GW2, they're able to simultaneously host instances with different builds of the game. This means that ANet can put out a patch, spin up instances for that new patch that players will enter as they log into the game with the new patch, and players can keep playing on the old build while that's going on. This is why you'll get a message saying something like, "New Build Available. Log out within 2 hours." They don't want to host the old build indefinitely, but they don't need to interrupt your current session or kick you out of the game for hours at a time.

Running multiple builds is key as you suggest. It's easy to say but hard to do as it requires the entire engineering team to be "on point" and ensure that everything they do is compatible as you move between builds. So there is a software architecture that enables this but it's solid engineering especially by the gameplay programmers that makes it work.

It's likely just a case of a bulk backend process that accidentally reverted a file that wasn't supposed to be changed. If you have the info I can pass it along.

Was it a NPC in Lake Doric at the lumberyard?

Because when that map came out I SWORE I heard an NPC say that line and I couldn't believe it. So I told some other people and they didn't believe me. I said where I thought I heard it and sat around for HOURS waiting for the NPC to say it again.

Everyone thought I was crazy and eventually so did I, but I guess I wasn't?

I think it was an asura outside Rata Sum. But it was a long time ago so I may be wrong. LOL

What a stupid change. Hearing someone as gruff and serious as Rytlock say “clusterfudge” is so f**king goofy and childish.

It's a bug. The original, processed line cut him off with static so it implied...the other F word. A bulk processing import must've caught a wrong file or two and paved over the old one. It's been logged and sent over for review.

A classic line from Season 3.

Thank you for you answer. I'll do that, but since the "Crane"-thing, which I reported a year ago (as far as I can remember, I won't be mad if you prove me wrong) has never been fixed, I don't have the feeling that somthing happens... but I'll try!

Is the "Crane" thing also a localization bug? (Loc is a separate department so I'm out of the loop on any issues there.)
