For The Kids Les

I am happy to announce that Jebro will be joining us for the pvp session!

I just learned that Josh Foreman will be joining us at 6am to heckle me as I repeatedly fail some of his toughest jumping puzzles!

Awesome news. Thank you for the support :)

Yes it is, sorry :(

You make a very good point. I will change the wording of the guild contest rule. I was just trying to discourage people from doing dozens of $1 donations to bump their odds, but a guild should be allowed to pool it's members together.

Also, yes, it is OK to enter for the guild contest and one group contest at the same time :)

Ok, thanks for the feedback. My thought was that there might be questions, comments, or interest in one contest versus another. And, if all of those conversations for the three different contests were mixed together then it would make it more difficult to get the information. I will remember this in the future though. Cheers

I thought it would get too jumbled and crowded to put them all in a single thread. You think I should undo that? Is it possible for me to even delete the other threads at this point?

We agree that this is an issue and support players should get credit for their contribution.

We are discussing and experimenting with some ideas internally, but a global change like this will take a while to get the numbers, feel, and testing right. Be prepared for it “When It’s Ready!”

I'll be leading an internal team in an attempt to win a vote and take Gilded Hollow for ourselves since the initial claiming event was done with NO VOTING and we were PRESS-GANGED INTO IT. There were shenanigans at the highest level to get the Anet guild involved in that dry, dusty Lost Precipice business. SHENANIGANS I SAY.

Hello, I just wanted to say thanks for listening and I'm glad you are enjoying it, I am very fortunate to have an amazing team.

Thanks, James Ackley Audio Director Arenanet

Hey there, I made this adventure :)

Great job with this, I balanced gold tier around having the Blazing Speed Mushroom mastery, and getting gold without it shows exactly the kind of precision movement I was hoping to see! My PB for this was 1:15 before we shipped HoT, so see you on the leaderboards ;)

Nice find :)

No way, reverendsmooth and I, we're on the same team!

Stay strong during your recovery.Best Wishes.<3

I always support different views and opinions in Tyria. Please provide me with your exact location and a time you'll be present so that I may send some...ambassadors... to greet you.

<3 On behalf of all those who had a hand in Timberline Falls, Thank you very much for the kind words.

I can clarify this a bit. If you waypoint away before something dies and it dropped loot, you won't immediately get it. If you return to the area, you will get the loot as soon as you can see it. It will basically pick up all loot you can see.

The exception is WvW, since loot bags always spawns at your feet. If you waypoint, the loot will spawn at your location and should get immediately picked up.

If your inventory is full when something drops, it will be left on the ground and you will have to pick it up manually after you clear out some space.

Edit: Unrelated note while I'm here, that purple star is placeholder (I reused the living story quest marker while I wait for the art request). It should have its own icon at some point.
