PVP (achievement) question here (also concerns possible "bad blood" in Unranked):

I am currently VERY concerned about the ability to realistically get the meta achievement for the new coliseum map before the 3rd of October !

You need 50 wins and 25 "defensive kills" (those were the bottlenecks on Capricorn) on this map - and the map will be fighting for the same spot that Capricorn has in Unranked.

Already, A LOT of people get extremely angry if any map other than Capricorn pops in Unranked - and for pretty good reasons because there is a time limit on the achievements !

With the release of the Coliseum, this will get even WORSE !

You will have people fighting to finish their Capricorn achievs, others fighting to get their Coliseum achievs and some poor sods "sandwiched" in between who would like to play "oldschool" maps in Unranked.

My proposal is the following: E...

Hey guys, congrats on the release! Didn't get to play much (sick, so decided it's better to sleep than to stay up all night playing vidya), but what I've seen so far has been super fun. Skritt pirates are officially my favorite pirates in the game now. Also, a question: now that you're doing a native Mac client (and, presumably, a native OpenGL renderer), how about Linux in the future? We Linux players do exist, however rare we may be... Or at least give us an option to use the OpenGL renderer in the Windows version of the game like B***zard did with their games - that way running the game on Wine should be way easier.

Hi! I'm a returning player who got the game bundled with HoT weeks before it came out. I had to uninstall for awhile and came back just in time to unlock the Living world season 3.

What should I be looking to acquire in the Ring of Fire? Who are the Mursaat? How do I get into the new map? Can a non-expert player like me safely travel across the map, or will it be more difficult to do alone like the enemies in the Heart of Maguuma are?

Yay! I have been playing since prophecies, so when y'all added the Stormbow, I instantly bought it and I still love it. To be honest, I am just hoping and praying for some of the obsidian armors :p

Do you think you guys will ever consider adding the existing/new gliding skills to other maps ? One thing I immediately noticed when I entered EB was the lack of the gliding skill #5, it really made gliding faster and more fluid.

/u/Anet_Sarah, I'm not sure if this is best suited for you on the commerce team or someone else, but is there any chance that the HoT Ascended Backpieces could be updated to include HoT stat combinations? It's a real bummer that a HoT-exclusive reward omits the stat combinations.

Going forward, can players expect that future content updates to the core story will require owning the core game and all current expansions?

Well I guess I'll have to find out who that is now :P

Why is there no LFG tab for the new map?

Just wanted to say as a launch gw2 player, I haven't been this hyped or excited for new content in a long time. Thank you so much to everyone at ANet and keep up the great work. I can't wait to get off work tonight and spend time with the new content!

I think ghost peppers or the equivalent would be a very appropriate mind-altering substance to ingest while adventuring in Ember Bay. The resulting sweating should really bring the map to life. ;)

Did you know I would have the next 3 days off to do nothing but take recreational psychotropic substances and play the new episode? I do have a few adult things I must take care of, however I think there will be plenty of time for both.

Of all recreational psychotropics, are there any that you would highly recommend or recommend against for this episode and new map?

Since gw1 weapon skins have been added to the gemstore, is there any chance that y'all could add popular gw1 armors as outfits on the gemstore?

Will we get a LFG section for the new map?

I absolutely love Thermal Propulsion. The sound team really nailed the FX for it!
