By Ogden's Hammer, what a website!

Sorry, it was temporarily unavailable! You should be able to get it now.

Mesmers - don't worry. The mirage nerfs were accidently included in the release notes. They've been pulled. :)

He keeps us on our toes, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Thanks for being such an integral part of this community and sticking with us through the good and bad. Hopefully our goal of communication being more open and transparent this last year has made what you do slightly less stressful ;)

Cheers to 10 years of that_shaman!

We knew someone would find [...] ?

But that's really good news for the game!

Thanks! It's a busy, distracting day. :)

You spotted it 10 minutes after we pushed it live to the account site. We knew someone would find it and post to reddit pretty quick, but not THAT quickly! :D

Blog with all of the Twitch Drop details will come tomorrow.

Absolutely correct, but I would assume it's directly or almost directly correlated numbers; following the title is pretty much super-wishlist, with it's news appearing on community home page and whatnot. Follower/wishlist numbers could also totally be skewed towards games with release dates setup for the longer period before the release, because thanks to that they appear in Discover Queues.

I have can see both numbers, but I'm pretty sure that someone somewhere would give me flak for sharing data that isn't public. What I can say is that 'followers' are a fraction of the number of wishlists.

Agree with your comment about follows being super-wishlists. :)

GW2 is #77 most wishlisted game on Steam currently, as per https://steamdb.info/app/1284210/graphs/, with over 26k followers. For comparison #1 - The Day Before - have 188k followers; #3 - Starfield - have 133k followers.

It got boosted into Popular Upcoming, because it had major wishilist number in recent history, and the release date is very close.

Just wanted to note that 'follows' are different than wishlists. Wishlist #'s don't seem to be public.

True Shot: Now allows movement but reduces movement speed by 50% while casting.

Can bladesworn get the same for dragon trigger? 🤔

Quick clarification:

Previously, we included a change to the Dragonhunter skill "True Shot" that would allow you to move at 50% speed while channeling. The True Shot movement change won't be releasing on August 23rd - the release note was included here erroneously and has since been removed.

We've been experimenting with the change to help improve longbow usability in PvE content, but the change could have some negative implications to PvP and WvW, where the skill's current telegraph is very important for counterplay. We're going to keep thinking about how to address the problem and may revisit it down the road.

Apologies for any confusion!

Are other entries covering IBS on their way? These have been a lot of fun to read and think through as I play through the maps for the first time.

Agreed: wonderful reads. : ) Cheers for all your thoughts.

Can't wait for this fashion trend to catch on.

I'm sure it is because of age, that's a normal thing to happen if you are not the Inevitable, the last Primeval King, the Undying, the Scourge of Vabbi, the Feared, the Beloved, the Transcendent and the Eternal Monarch of All, Palawa Ignacious Joko.

You're just a mere mortal aging today. Happy birthday!

Praise Joko!

Thank you for the shoutout and well wishes! Speaking of birthdays, it's hard to believe that Guild Wars 2's tenth birthday is just around the corner. I was just a whippersnapper when Guild Wars 2 entered my life. Fast forward ten years and the gray hairs seem to be sprouting up daily. I'm sure it's probably because of my age, not the job, right? :)

Hello. This is still a bit of a problem (8/2/2022) as my static cleared CA CM after disabling emboldened, but when we activated the CM for Largos this week we completed it but didn't get the extra loot. (Note players swapping classes between bosses re-enables emboldened upon reentering the instance and could be a cause to the loot not dropping.)

Experienced groups will swap classes a lot in between bosses and Emboldened should not reactivate on players after we have chosen to disable it. It should stay off for the whole instance after we deactivate it unless we choose to reactivate it ourselves. Thanks!

Looking into this.
