OP, lookin' fly
you can listen to all of the soundtracks on youtube. i’m a big fan of ibs sound track and eod soundtrack. the original game theme song is still perceived as one of the best of all mmos
Fun story: before I joined the company, I had some friends who worked there, and they invited me to come playtest. I was running around Queensdale, trashing bozos and saving villages, and generally having a grand old time. (Get rekt, centaurs.) Colin, of all people, was watching over my shoulder, looking for pain points and unexpected play patterns and the like -- typical usability testing stuff. At one point, he stopped me and apologized: "Sorry about the music. We can kill the sound if you'd prefer." I hadn't even noticed that the audio was bugged, and that the "Saga of the Norn" track had been looping the entire playthrough. "Hell no," I told him. "I feel so...epic."
A decade and change later, I still love the music. : )
Also the glider and backpiece dye slots arent in the same place. On the backpiecez bottom right is the collar's color and on the glider, the collar is upper left iirc. A small detail, but one nonetheless x)
It had to be done this way for technical reasons. I'm a stickler for consistency but I assure you this was the only way for this one to work.
Yes this is a bug. I love it when things randomly stop working between testing and release >:c
Does anyone know if you can get more than one Echo of the Past? It did not say anything about needing to keep it to put in the mystic forge and now I don't have it in my inventory, assuming I sold it. Only realised about the achievement later.
You should be able to buy a replacement one from the Provisioner on the Bastion of the Obscure!
This is so cute! Thank you so much for sharing.
Real shame that it is all samples though, clearly a victim budget and/or time constrictions. I think PoF and EoD are the best sound tracks because they actually work as sounds tracks with clearly established motives and themes - i.e. telling a story through music. BUT, a major advatage they had was being played on actual intruments. That said, from a gameplay-music interaction perspective, this is well done. The eiry meditative drones complement the exploration of the bizarre landscapes you explore very well. I do hope that we get some kind of arranged version, even it is just medley like with the S4 soundtrack as, inevitably, the synth strings and percussion sound flat and plasticky. That is of course not a fault of the composers, they were working with what they had.
All of the core orchestra (strings, woodwinds, and brass) was recorded live in Nashville back in May. The only samples in the music are the same as they've always been since Living World Season 2, i.e. choir, percussion, harp, and miscellaneous synths and things. In a perfect world with a blank check, we'd get to do everything possible live, but that's not the reality of our situation. However, we work hard to make sure the heart of the music is done live for these expansions, and I think the musicians did a phenomenal job.
I've been waiting for this ever since I first found out there was a thing where we got to name in-game pets, so about a year now. Thank you so much for helping put a tribute in the game to my late guild leader. I haven't found her feline incarnation in the core cities yet, but she looks happy as can be in the grass outside the new tower.
(For what it's worth, I've found that the Chatoyant Elixir doesn't work for me; it says it has to be April 1. I can only use the lens. Maybe the text needs to be changed to reflect that, or is it a glitch and the potion is supposed to be usable anytime?)
You're right about the Elixir - for years I've thought it was usable year-round since it doesn't really do anything that the Lens doesn't, but it was recently pointed out to me that it's still restricted to April Fools. I'd like to clean that up, but it might have to wait until next April Fools' to allow for some safety checks.
I think the cat you're looking for is in Hoelbrak, browsing around the rest area next to the Trading Post.
At this point I'll take the hint, searched across every capital city fairly thoroughly!
Pixel is hanging out at the Serrated Blade Tavern in the Black Citadel!
Congrats to everyone who's found their pet! I'm on the lookout for my cat Pixel!
Let me know if you'd like a hint or if you'd rather enjoy the search!
Are the 2022 Pets in? Has anybody seen a cat named Hamm?
Yes, this is them! Hamm is exploring the south side of the Grand Piazza in Lion's Arch! Make sure you have one of the Chatoyant items active.
Looking for KayleeBear if you can help? :-D
KayleeBear is roaming near the Song Bower in the Grove, on the top level! That's near the Diving Goggles location as an additional landmark.
Every cat this year is also in the hub map of Secrets of the Obscure!
If anyone can find a cat named Lilac, please tell; looking all over the place but Tyria is big...
Lilac is checking out some of the vendor carts near the Leatherworking Station in Divinity's Reach! Make sure you have one of the Chatoyant items active.
Thank you I was searching for my bunny all over Seitung haha!! edit; i think i found one named Salvador in Wizard's Tower but it is a cat :D Were there two with the same name by chance?
Ok, Salvador can be found lounging near the Tailoring stations in Divinity's Reach but is also, unintentionally, a cat. I'll get that tidied up in the next non-hotfix release; sorry for the mismatch!

There were a few matching names this year but I don't believe that is one of them. I'll check the setup, it could be an engine hiccup but if it's wrong I'll update here and get that fixed.
Did you by any chance find a dog named Pouncer? I’ve been looking for her desperately and can’t find her. :(
Pouncer is playing around near the Huntsman crafting stations in the Black Citadel! Make sure you have one of the Chatoyant items active.
If you can keep an eye out for one called Smos I'd really appreciate it. Going to take a look myself but so far no luck.
Smos is inspecting the College of Synergetics in Rata Sum! Make sure you have one of the Chatoyant items active.
I'm glad you like Sesame's spot!
As a note for anyone seeking their pets, each of this years' pets are in one of the major cities and a second time in the Secrets of the Obscure hub area.
Chloe Mims & Chelsea Mims different people? I saw in an EOD vid that Chelsea made all EOD legendaries. Just want to make sure I’m crediting the right person
We're sisters :P
Chelsea is the artist, I am the game designer!
