Tell use something you did for us! I like to know when a dev created content that I enjoyed to Praise
Jokothem.
Stay tuned! I'm a content designer for Visions of the Past; I unfortunately cannot go anymore into detail on it at this time :)

Welcome :)
Hey, thanks so much! I'm super happy to be here, I've been a huge fan and giant lore nerd of Guild Wars ever since my sister started working here almost 11 years ago, so it's really exciting to finally be a part of helping shape the game :)
that was my same reaction! :D
Me too.
Also something to note: a fair number of folks who have left the studio have come back in recent months. They don't always publicize so I wouldn't expect the community to realize that. Just something Bobby Stein said when he replied to a comment on the Hugh Norfolk leaving Anet post a few days ago.
You also have fresh faces like me who were hired without any publicized hubbub - in my case probably because I have very minimal social media presence. People leaving gets publicized, but something to remember is that people are also joining, even if you don't hear about it (I've been here since July!) :)
hahaha, that was a lot of fun, thank YOU.
Wise advice, indeed. "Kill the boss before it kills you" :-)
It’s good to be back ^_^
Previously at ArenaNet I worked mainly on encounters in fractals/raids, see my LinkedIn for a somewhat detailed breakdown.
Not sure exactly what all I’m working on this time around but I can say that I will be working on content and gameplay features for GW2. I’m heading up to the office now! Looking forward to seeing you all in game :)
welcome back, my dude!
Can two Bens be stacked or does Anet need to stack them separately?
We are speccd differently. No need to worry about stacking. ;)

Welcome back! :)
Very cool! I've also been playing around with this (as a side-project), but using a wireless gamepad instead. It actually works pretty good, and I'm looking forward to playing it on live servers one of these days.
I will make a guess - there is a drive error (SSD or HD - doesn't matter) when loading those assets which eventually recovers (which is why it happens in the same place every time). If you're comfortable with moving stuff around on your computer, you can make a copy of the .dat file (Gw2.dat which will make GW2 - Copy.dat). Then delete the original .dat and rename the copy back to Gw2.dat. Of course, for this to work, you need an extra 50 gigabytes of free space to make the copy.
Does this give an achievement and AP as well?
No AP.
how (relatively) smooth it was.
Did I miss something? I was in the first three tests, had one game, then the tourney closed. Was there another that worked?
NA ran fairly smoothly outside of the UI issues. EU was having trouble because of the number of teams participating. We tried to cap the number of teams on the third tournament and then learned that the code to cap tournaments teams also wasn't working.
Hi! Any info about when the next 2v2 tournament test will take place?
One of the things with swiss format: Since we determine your next opponent by record, we can't start the next round of matches until the current round is complete. But yeah, the UI does a poor job of communicating that.
BenP said that its almost impossible to make bo3, anet wanted bo3, but currently its impossible
It's not that it was impossible. It was just not something we were able to get in. I still hope we can add it some day, but currently it's not on the schedule to get back to.
I think queuing with a team of bots would make it easier, and from what i understand, you can even queue with swiss as much times you want? And the opposite team would be much less likely to report you for botting too since they are getting a free win and wouldn't notice as much. Also isn't there a limit on gold for unranked/ranked? Last i read about it was 15g daily
Mind you, i'm just trying to remember you folks what happened to gw1 where the only people left doing these sort of tourneys were bot themselves ;3
The much more visible nature of the AT's seems to result in more reports and they seem to be much easier to catch. We've dishonored several teams for tournament botting in the past and will continue to do so.
Though, it's been a while since I was directly told of people botting in tournaments, so it seems it's not very frequent.
A bit i seem to miss everywhere, or I don't get it, in the swiss style part of the tournament, howmany matches do you play? 2, 3, against all teams? As would think for people that now play tournaments for the round of 16 5g, won't be bothered to play if it's many fights you need to do.
It varies depending on the number of people who sign up. If 32 teams sign up, there should be 5 swiss rounds and 3 elimination rounds. So you'd have 8 matches in that case.
You don't necessarily play all teams in the swiss rounds.
As a Swiss, I was hella confused about this post on first sight.
A long while ago, we did have some player very angry wondering why we were working so hard to give special tournaments to Swiss folk. ;)
I hope there will be some sort of limitation to people joining with hordes of bots to get free 15s
You get 15s for a loss in ranked/unranked as well. So there shouldn't be any additional motivation to bot tournaments than there is already is.
This makes me very happy, very happy indeed. :3
