Fun fact this is what it sounds like in development too. They revealed in S4 they have a TTS bot (maybe even the same one) to read it out so they can time out when voicelines have to trigger.

Can confirm, the robovoice you hear in this clip sounds exactly like the one we hear during development. :-P

Which is pretty useful but uh, they should probably make it clear what option takes you where

Yes it is, sorry! Added a warning. :)

This is the work of one of our sound designers, Chris! You may know him from such classics as "Joko's Scarab Wall" and "Lead Vocals on 'Fer Naw This Evenin.'" He actually made a behind the scenes video for a few people in the studio and it's on Vimeo!

As Sedric pointed out... don't be fooled by the quiet assets near the beginning. It loud.

Whoops! Good catch. I missed a thing. Fix coming soon (TM).

P.S. I've got a fever. And the only cure. Is more replay turnabout for achievements.

I was already a bit scared that this was due to my graphics card and/or fan. I am, so far, not experiencing any problems in other applications. I will clean the fans, maybe buy a cooler too. Would you recommend anything else?

Not that I can think of. But you can also open an in-game support ticket and our CS folks may have some additional recommendations. -K

Hi Kevin, thanks for your time. Here are the screenshots you asked for:
- Mini map: https://imgur.com/a/yKOwl6Y
- Graphic settings: https://imgur.com/a/MNr38Lb + https://imgur.com/a/dnngYvp

Thanks for the screenshots. I went to the location and used your graphics settings, and the trees are rendering properly on the Mac (screenshot). So I'm wondering if there is an odd setup on your computer or if your graphics card is slowly dying (or maybe a fan isn't working properly). Are you experiencing graphics anomalies in other programs or applications?

This is Kevin with ArenaNet. I'm trying to repro this on my Mac and I am unable to. Can you post a screenshot of your mini map as well as your graphic settings? Thank you.

Boneskinner's theme has to be one of my new favs.

I really do enjoy the new music, and I feel it fits the more boreal motif of Icebrood Saga. Hell, I'm digging the boreal motifs in general!

The Boneskinner track is great, I agree. It's not one of mine, so I can say that humbly! Thank you for listening.

Absolutely love that creepy string heavy piece in Western Bjora that plays in the woods outside the kodan encampment. Very different from other things in the game and I mean that in a very positive way! It made the map feel so much more hostile and creepy.

I don't think that's one of mine, but thank you for listening and taking the time to appreciate!

Honestly, the stark contrast between Directsong to "hey sorry it seems like an oversight you can't download my music for free" is amazing and I'm so happy to have you working on the soundtrack. You've done absolutely fantastic.

Thanks so much. It's a team effort for sure.

Your work in gw2 is incredible. It's a big reason why I became so immersed in the game itself. Arenanet should do all they can to hang onto you and Lena.

Thank you! I'm very glad to still be working on the game after all these years. The world and the immensely talented people that create it are so inspiring and such a joy to work with, and it's so gratifying to know the music touches fans in the way we hope it will.

It could also be that the character models / weapons weren't ready yet, but once they were, they replaced those.

You are correct! Steel and Fire was already underway at the time but I didn't make their appearances until later once we got a better feel for their personalities :)
