Guild Wars 2 Dev Tracker

Thank you so much for taking the time to give us, at Anet, a shout out! It is often tough to ride the line between giving enough information and holding back on information that we can't share. So I really appreciate the community's understanding and patience. Posts like this are the equivalent to how ya'll feel when you get a professional response from a dev. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you and to everyone else for such kind words!

I am going to start getting busy here in a bit so as you all start to transition over to Episode 2 I'll be a bit heads down. I still plan on peaking in and conversing with you all! Don't be afraid to @ me either!

I'm excited for 2020! Let's gooooo!

We got you!

OK! Here we go! This was a larger fix then I thought but the team rocked it out! The achievement(s) will be coming out with Episode 2. A couple things to note: The title is still the only reward outside of the AP points. There were a couple of added rifts in case anyone was keeping count.

The ones in Bjora Marches were not added simply because
1. They are a bit different in that they give you karma.
2. They are encapsulated within the Icebrood Saga and that isn't finished :)

So. Thank you SO MUCH for bringing this to our attention and I hope you enjoy exploring around Tyria for all the rifts and that sweet title!

Wow!!! Seriously amazing job! The detail work, the paint job, the...everything! I also cosplay so I very much appreciate everything that went into this.

Also, it brings a tear to my eye to see my weapon models brought to life in the real world. They turned out SO good!

Wow!! This is beyond cool, fantastic job. From one cosplayer to another, your craftsmanship is beautiful and so clean! Are all the non-cloth parts foam? This is definitely inspiring me pick up again on the armor set I'm working on :D

Hi! These ads were used online via gaming sites as well as Hulu and social media, targeted towards potential audiences who would potentially be interested in GW2 based off other games or entertainment they have played, watched or showed interest in. This campaign titled "11 Million Strong" continues to run via targeted media placements via social.

As far as success metrics, I want to be able to share but we are waiting for a particular milestone which we are very close but it was very successful.

It’s true. I also shared it last year with the community when the campaign went live :-)

Sure, PMing you if you wanna talk outside reddit :-P

Thanks for sharing, and your support! I don't really know what to say other than I'm honored to be able to help, even if it's just a little.

This would be a very cool feature, and I think it would really help. I'll have to chew on this idea.

... Something something, mount wheel...

Thanks for the feedback!

Lol, pretty much.

I've actually planned to do something exactly like this, also as part of a side project, but not a part of game pad support.

This is really a QoL thing that would be used by keyboard/mouse users as well, just an easy way to access commonly used "things" like toys/tonics/chairs, but also inventory potions and items, or emotes and more.

Musicians could use it to make a "instrument" hotbar, speedrunners might use it to keep track of their potions and whatnot.

But right now this idea is just that, an idea, and I won't be able to get started on it for a long while, sadly.

Wow, thanks for sharing.

I hear ya. I'm not really sure what to say, other than I better get my ass in gear and finish this task :-)

yes, that is my current plan and having it working like so already. There's just so many input actions you can do in this game, but so little joystick buttons :-(

Sure.

So I'm not too concerned about if the the default mapping should be one way or the other, but one of the first things I did get working was making it so you can change your bindings in our key-bindings edit dialog, the same way you would for mouse/keyboard settings. Everyone is going to have their own opinion of what works best for them, and many people will use different types of controllers.

Unfortunately, GW2 has soooo many keyboard input actions, (we have like 100+ hotkeys you can bind!) And that doesn't work too great for controllers. So one of the things I also have working already is making it so you can have button "modifiers", kind of how the keyboard has Shift, Alt and Ctrl keys. So maybe joystick Triangle would press Skill 2, Left Trigger + Triangle could be Jump, Right Trigger + Triangle could be something else, etc.

I also have it so you can press a joystick button (that you can bind, this is the one that_shaman just found) to turn your jo...

I've got a few other side projects i've been working on that are also QoL that you'll see sooner than the controller stuff... You just wait!

Oh good point, I haven't even tested it on beetle racing! I'll need to try this out tomorrow.

that_shaman, You're good! I have no idea how you found this, as I tried to cover my tracks, but you are correct.

I have been working on native controller support, as a side project in my own time. I've got a good deal of it all working, but it's still got a further to go.

My main goal is is to have accessibility in mind. If I can help just one person play the game that would would not otherwise be able to because of our current input controls, than I'll be very pleased.

Luckily, it wasn't too bad this time!

My drive in was actually rather pretty.

Apparently making a whole saga about Jormag appeased them and convinced them to hold back their wrath...
