Am I allowed to curse here? \Checks with the film director** Cool.

HOLY sh*t

This is so cool! I worked on Siren's Landing so this honestly brings me so much joy. I'm going to show it to the designer that built the Siren of Orr mastery line because I think he would also super appreciate this. Thank you for sharing!!

yeah, I pop over there from time to time, but the latency makes it difficult for me to do much.

Thanks, random third party only journalists, for once again giving us information that the first party doesn't talk about.

To clarify - there's no livestream this week. And yes, there will definitely be a blog post announcing when one does happen. :)

Ah so that's why they stopped! I was wondering what happened to those. Always was fun to see the zombie horde chasing you guys around 😅

I'm not 100% sure on that, but I think it's the reason. The timing works out, at least.

Now I want to see an Anet vs players wvw session… do you think enough people at Anet play wvw?

We used to have a WvW stream every week where the WvW team and a guest dev would go into WvW tagged up. I think that stopped when the main person doing it got promoted to a lead and didn't have time for it any more though. More recently (maybe 6 months ago) the engineering team did go into WvW together with a bunch of minion mancers to maximize the number of Anet tags, but nothing in any way organized in a while.

I'll hop around on different servers when I WvW to give different people the opportunity to kill me then :)

yep, I claim objectives (usually camps) for ArenaNet in WvW, just to do this, and give all the NPCs at the objective the ArenaNet tag on their nameplate :)

I was trying so hard to deny that "colin smiles" bingo card space, but alas...I couldn't pull it off and just looked weird and smiled anyway.

I'll get you next time reddit!

I'm a bit biased, but I love the game so am always free to answer gameplay questions and gameplay sometimes to get people into the game. Feel free to reach out as a new player, darkbringerr.3697

So if we experienced the same/similar situation should we make a ticket/reply to the open ticket if we have one open?

I submitted a ticket yesterday and got the same response as Enko and I'm fairly certain mine is off by 12 so wanted to know if I need to do anything special.

As for the in-progress items: Gift of Craftsmanship, Gifts of Condensed Might/Magic, Gift of Prosperity, ascended precursors, etc., Would it be helpful if we keep those in one spot on an account or does that not matter?

Edit: I had 17 extra runes, 2 extra complete sets of raid armor, and 2 extra backpacks, totaling what I thought would have been 31 items. What I got was 17 Trunks and 2 Caches. From what I have been hearing I would have thought it would be 29 trunks & 2 caches.

Please reply to your ticket and wait patiently for a reply there. I can't discuss too many specifics here on Reddit, and we'll need you to save all the juicy details for our internal discussion for tracking!

What about people who had excess precursor armor what happens if they finish making it?

I just replied to a similar question from Enko up above before seeing this, but take a look!

Any chance something can be done with the gifts of runes/sigils? Possibly just breaking them back down into the components?

That's the expectation, if those are on top of the ones that got properly added to the Armory!

I'm hoping we can do something to compensate users who might have been partway through the process of crafting new account bound legendaries that are now redundant, but I'll be honest and say this was an edge case that wasn't fully planned for ahead of time... and I'm really bummed we missed it!

As such, I don't have any concrete info or plan yet, but stay tuned :) I'm working with the team to formulate a plan on what can be done.

Thanks, GMMagister. I did reply back to the latest response asking about it. Also can you look into the Twilight/Sunrise items as well? (maybe even look into my account being blocked for using a VPN too?)

We'll definitely look into the Twilight/Sunrise issue too (sadly not me personally as it is my weekend and I might already going to get an earful for working on my day off just because I happened to check Reddit, but I've also let our agents know about that issue so we'll see what can be done!)

The VPN issue isn't something I can speak to as any account blocks resulting from such are likely put in place by our accounts or security team, but if you submit anoter ticket with the appropriate subject or category (assuming you haven't already) then it should automatically get sent to the appropriate folks to look into it. I'll let them know you'll be coming, though! :)

Hey Enko!

It's my understanding that Legendary Runes and Sigils should count for compensation, so I'm not sure what happened here, but we'll take a look!

For some background - compensation was distributed based on some data that was shared with my team the day of the Armory's release. This spreadsheet was meant to have every user and their excess items listed, and we sent out the designated compensation according to that. However, if you didn't receive compensation for these runes then something definitely seems to have gone amiss in that count.

I think I also found your ticket and there may have been a slight bit of confusion on our part (and I'll take part of the blame myself for this one) - you have the perfect number of excess runes that the message escalated to me that stated "this person had 11 runes and got 5 boxes of compensation" seemed correct, at least at first glance, when accounting for your 6 normal armor slots. But, as it turns out, that's 11 ...

A new thing we're trying! A little glimpse behind the curtain. Interested to hear what folks think.

I actually ended up finding a very tiny bug (apparently there's always one) - the repair button in ley rifts/anvils appears even if you only have broken armor in another loadout, and clicking it doesn't do anything. Maybe it should repair gear in all loadouts? Otherwise, this is a really impressive release, thanks for your work!

Thank you! The team worked their butts off to get this release out the door. These kinds of updates raise our blood pressure quite a bit, but every department really took great care to make sure things went smoothly.
