Thank you for the kind words. It means so much. Creating games is so much more than just a job for me. Interacting with you fine folks always brightened my day. :) /allthehugs

Read moreMy mother always liked watching me playing GW2. I've asked her every time when she was sitting next to me, asking questions about everything in the game, if she wanted to give it a try. She always said no because she was afraid of "destroying my character". xD
When I moved to another country, she wanted to surprise me and find me ingame. Thing was, she didn't even remember the game title or my characters name. So she asked all of my friends behind my back if someone could show her how to do it.
Long Story short... One of my friends took some time to help her creating an account and showed her around a bit ingame. He even went out of his way to update some hardware parts in her old PC, that she could play it smoothly. We had an guild event planned one Sunday, to do some missions and dungeons together. The friend of mine asked me, if he could bring "a friend" as well. Needless to say that I was a bit speechless when I've heard my mothers voice in Discord. :D

That is a really sweet story. I'm glad you shared it!
Annnd desktop background at work. I love this. :)
Could you by any chance make the font a bit bigger? It is totally unreadable on the mobile devices and small laptops.
Not my area of expertise, but I'll pass the note on. Thank you!
I’ll happily second that. HUGE thank you to our amazing Narrative team. :-)
I'll tell the team you said so. :-)
I hope that you do this more often, be it in this format or like Taimi's Notes from Rata Novus series.
Would love to get other characters' insights than just the three, but you picked the best three IMO.
Glad to hear it! Yeah, the general response has been very positive, so we'll certainly take a look at doing more as time goes on.
I get an error.
Sorry to interrupt, but this story's code has got itself in a mess.

This issue should be fixed now. Be sure to hard-refresh (CTRL + Reload).
Honestly, this was a really great read. Thanks for the strong entertainment this morning!
I only wish it were ingame. Could be a good use for the newly implemented book system, if ever the architecture is in place.
From a writing standpoint, I imagine the hard part could be making sure the Commander is still ignorant, since I don't imagine Rytlock is the type to reveal this information to others.
Agreed!
Of course and I really appreciate that! And if it's not realistically feasible then I can completely understand. I just wanted to kind of show that there was at least some interest in it if it's something you all are looking for thoughts on.
Yup. Great to know. Thank you!
Just to chime in on that thought, something that might be a little less taxing on development could be like a codex system in game section where you could have a compilation of these blog entries that people select and read in the same way that you might select on a story chapter and read the lore summary. Not to say that it would easy, just that I want to emphasize that you all have some really incredible stories you've done in blogs that I'm sad to see that there's GW2 players that have never even known about them just because they don't really go to the official site or Reddit.
Thanks for that! I agree it would be great if we can find a way to preserve things like this somewhere in the game or shell so that people can visit, or revisit, them. I'm not sure what the tech limitations might be, but we'll talk to engineering and see what's possible.
I'm loving this. It's great to see the way these characters think and is really well written.
And we finally got so many year old questions answered! Hope you're allowed to make more of these in the future.
Based on the community's response so far, I'd say there's a pretty decent chance we will. :-)
Don't games like Dragon Age do this with optional campfire dialogue? After completing major milestones in the story you can go to the campfire (something like Sun's Refuge, or even just a literal campfire) and listen to the thoughts of your NPC allies as they react to recent events in the story.
True. We haven't established that as a convention in GW2 (although it's possible we could), and I think there's no way we could dive as deep (and long) in that format as we were able to do here. But I take your point, and we appreciate the feedback and consider it as we move forward.
I understood it this way, but thanks for clarifying. <3
I am now really looking forward to Zafirah's story, because she absolutely clicked with me as a new character in Ep4, and to Caithe, because it's been such a long while since she was in the spotlight properly, and I am excited to know her thoughts in regards to Aurene, her Wyld Hunt, the Elder Dragons... everything!
Whoever's idea this was, thanks a LOT for bringing us this!
The idea came from our Marketing folks, and the Narrative team collaborated with them to produce it. We're very pleased it's working for you the way we'd hoped it would, and we agree this is a great avenue to get into characters' heads in a way we really can't ever do in-game.
So is this fanfic or is this canon?
It's canon.
This should be in-game and not on a webpage. Have they truly not learned anything after the clusterf**k lore shitfest that was Scarlet Briar?
Guess we'll find out. :-)

It won't. This is just added context and insight for people who want it.

We're aware of that bug and are working to correct it quickly. Thanks for flagging it!
