As this functionality is intended for high-end, skilled players at the top tier of PvP, this option will work only in Custom Arenas that allow Tournament Commands (while Ranked queues are disabled during an off-season).
Also, Revenant standard models will be included in an upcoming release.
There's one thing that is often misunderstood, it's that we'll only get one update per quarter.
The quarterly updates are balance patches, there will be other CONTENT updates before the next balance patch, for instance the next League season, or the next raid wing (already announced to come before the next quarterly update)
Correct! Not only approx every 12 weeks will we do a big seasonal update. You'll also see updates between seasonal updates.
Content like raids, pvp leagues, living world, festivals, and WvW tournaments are all things you'd find happening between seasonal updates as the year progresses. (this "winter" season we've got a festival, raid, and pvp league kick off planned before spring.)
Things like new fractals, new legendaries, WvW updates, new PvP maps, quality of life updates, etc. are all the type of stuff that'd come with our seasonal updates.
Hope that helps a bit!
We've identified the cause of this issue, and expect to have the fix out in an upcoming release. All missing rewards will be replaced.
This bug was not entirely fixed; the developers have identified the issue and we are currently testing the results. We're expecting to have the fix out in an upcoming release. Thanks for your patience!
Thanks for the report! We're aware of the issue and working on resolving the impact squad markers currently have in WvW and PvP. Hoping to have this fix out ASAP. Thanks for your patience!

This note snuck in early and shouldn't have, this is a long term thing our FX team is playing with that isn't live yet.
The phrase "winter quarter update" confuses me. Is this coming Tuesday's patch the biggest patch this quarter? I throught the raid wing was coming this quarter as well, which would certainly be a big addition.
This is a preview of what's coming in the January 26th Winter 2016 release.
Other releases we've confirmed for between now and the end of March can be found in the "Other big events for early 2016" section of this here blog:

Hope that helps.
So that's the story with the leviathan... the truth is finally out there!
I doubt you'll respond to me, Colin, but given that the weird helix area of Dragon's Stand contains an open world moving platform, is it safe to say the engine's moving platform support is better now/eventually giving us the leviathan might be on the table? I've always been interested in random technical details, I understand if you can't answer, though. :P
It's slightly better, but still not very good. We had more moving platforms in SAB for a while in early development with the gator river in particular, but latency issues and weird engine stuff made them break often enough we had to cut back.
Given the weird twitching around the eyes of the folks who made the platform when we used to bring up "moving platforms" I think it's highly unlikely.
As for tables, I don't use that phrase! That was erroneously applied to me after someone else who will remain nameless did a few days of interviews and said "on/off the table" a lot. He knows who he is...
For the first year+ after Shat first made it in game, it was fondly known as the Shattnerer by most of the early Gw2 writing and content teams. I'm pretty sure Darrin had pictures up on the wall around the office similar to the sweet sweet link from Bobby. Fun memories ;)
For additional trips down memory lane -> This was also the first ever giant boss built that made it into the game.
Though it wasn't actually the first giant boss model ever made, that distinction rests with the leviathan (a massive crazy huge sea creature boss that only ever showed in trailers) was the first ever giant boss model. Early in development after the model was built engineering shot it down as creatures that large in water were too expensive for performance and our engine couldn't support moving platforms (collision) in large open world maps.
Please report players you observe behaving in this manner. Because there is not a better category at this time, I'd agree that filing it under "Botting" would suffice. As a reminder, match manipulation is defined in the GW2 Rules of Conduct as follows: "While participating in Plaver-vs-Player (PvP) gameplay, you will not participate in any form of match manipulation. Match manipulation is defined as any action taken to fix or manipulate the outcome of a match or alter or manipulate the rankings or ratings of the ladder. This also includes disrupting other people’s game experience by not actively participating in matches in good faith, a.k.a leeching."
WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO .....
" As work on Heart of Thorns wraps up, we’ll be treating resolving the remaining core areas in WvW as our #1 live development feature priority for the game to ensure we deliver on making World vs. World not just the great experience it is today *- but the incredible experience we know it can be. As this effort ramps up you will be hearing more from us about the work in progress." Transcript of the statement that John Corpening, game director for World vs. World, made at the beginning of the World vs. World Desert Borderlands Invitational. https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/game/hot/Colin-s-Blog-Today
Info on this is covered at the end of the blog, but absolutely yes, this is still true.
Thank you, as for the Collider its Polygon Collider 2D but its more of an oval shape than with slides on the sides
Interesting. I would have assumed that an oval type shape would behave correctly. I haven't ever used unity, and so don't know of any nuances to their collision detection. =/
Pretty fun. Nice job. I liked that I could easily control and direct the rebound direction; it made it pretty easy to plan and execute my bounces.
One note though, I got in a state where the ball was on the far right edge of the screen, and would only bounce directly up. I couldn't get it to hit the right side of the screen and ricochet back into the game play area. At first, I assumed I would be able to time my cloud's movement, and slam into the ball, from the left, right as it was about to cause a fail case. I had hoped that would push the ball into the right side of wall and get me my needed ricochet. No luck :( I ended up seeing no other choice but to just let the ball fall and start over. Maybe that means your cloud's collision volume is a rect? If that is the case, maybe consider putting some banked corners on the top right and top left.
Either way, nice job :)
We went for a Taco bell run. If you asked was it worth it yes and no. Yes being that I love Taco Bell. No because I didn't even get to enjoy the crunch wrap. That my humor to this whole thing. I feel like a million yaks trample all over my body. As for the drunk driver, I'm angry he drank and drove. Though in my heart I'm sad he pass away.
Thank you for the thoughts and I hope this even post. The hospital wifi is not so great. Now I'm going to enjoy these drugs and rest some more. I'm doing this off my cellphone. -Waves-
Glad to hear you and your friend are ok.
You totally deserved it. Happy holidays everyone :)
