Capes were positioned in a way to try and fit as much armor as possible since they are not adjustable per armor. It is also positioned in a way to try and reduce clipping with movement as much as possible. It is unfortunately not possible to have the cape laying on the back.

:D It is only on this body type for Charr haha we already have a fix and should be hotfixing this today. Sorry!

Damn, sad to hear that, but thanks for the help. Would I just tweet @ Arenanet?

I'd try tweeting at the main GW2 account and/or Rubi.

I don't have any control over the SoundCloud anymore, unfortunately, and only contributed one piece of music across the two releases. The rest of it would have to come from the studio. You can try tweeting at them, maybe.

I'll jump in and make one last quick comment before this account gets abandoned forever, or maybe not since it's only one letter removed from my name.

Thanks for all the nice comments, it's really heartwarming to know how much the players have enjoyed the content I've worked on. And there were so many amazing memories watching you try to take down these challenges via Twitch on release day, so thank you for playing and succeeding (but mostly failing). I moved out of creative development over 2 years ago is why I haven't had a lot to say here in a while. I suspect that trend will continue, such is the life of management.

Go forth and be excellent to each other.

If you gift someone these items, do they also qualify?

If you gift to someone else it is sort of like donating in their name. They will get the credit for it, so they will get the title. The title is granted to a player when the Extra Life Karma Booster or the Mini Guardian Angel Aurene enters their inventory.

I bought an Extra Life Karma Booster yesterday, but did not receive the blue title. I do already have the regular version of the title from last year. What's up with that?

Did you pick it up from the mail? It's keyed in to the item entering your inventory.

This is great work! Caudecus would gladly (and creepily) hang this in his bedroom.

That’s great! We go back to play regularly when we’re revisiting familiar locations in GW2 and I’m always surprised to see I still have all my Monk muscle memory from all those years of GvG. 15th anniversary is coming up soon! I’m officially old!

Wow this takes me back. I think the chamber pot line might be my crowning achievement.

There are 2 gemstore sales (that I could find) that should qualify you. One is for the Extra Life Karma Booster, and the other is the Extra Life Donation Bundle (mini, halo and karma booster)

this is the correct answer!

I get you cannot allow 3rd party software for the reasons you said, but maybe you can say if a 3rd party build template is fine. Or if parsing game data to determine DPS is fine.

Then users can check a 3rd party software and see if it's "fine" in its current state.

At your own risk. Always. Functionalities can be changed as much as the whole package. I will not OK any third party tool, or any part of it.

Thank you for taking your time to address all this reddit shitshow Dorn, every time this happens you are forced to come out and then we around and go and just forget all the other times it happened.

I just pray the people who shared accounts to wintrade will be also punished harshly because if we just keep tapping their wrists, then people like this guy who had this many accounts will just keep doing it with new ones while getting more clients.

's all good. I don't like users being spooked by rumours, that's all.

If anything,. I hope the message of: Do Not Share Your Accounts gets out. That's all I can hope for.

Just make sure that poor baby is safe, y'hear? 's all good.

Heh, I wish you could give us a "use whatever, it's cool".

This is however a very specific case: the unmodified template functionality of specifically and only ArcDPS.

Hope I'm not coming on too strong. I know this is a difficult topic for you, to put it mildly. Have the guy who hacked the .dll put in some hidden gearcheck functionality and boom, you got a reason to ban and people will get pissy as always about everything since the dawn of time.

If that's still not phrased exact enough, I'll give up stop bothering you with that hot mess.

Edit: Oh wow, that conversation triggered so many people.

At your own risk. That's all I can ever, ever say to third party software.

Aw man, you know how wishy-washy that is. Just tell us if we need to f**k off of that or if it's fine, like the rest of ArcDPS.

That is the policy. Third party software may be changed by whoever makes or uses it to lead to severe breach of the terms of use for the game. As such, I cannot give you a "use whatever you please, it's cool" - because we have no control over it or the changes that may be made to it. What looks fine today could be modified in the next hour to break the rules, and then if users get banned, they would point at my statement.

So, third party tools, tools we cannot control and have no say over what they may do in the future, cannot be OKed by me or anyone.

As such, they are "use at your own risk".

Hey Dornsinger, thanks for the update!

Out of personal interest, what's your/Anet's stance on the reverse engineered, hacked .dll that keeps the ArcDPS template functionality running?

And can you tell us how much additional template slots are going to cost?

As with all third party tools, it is : Use at your own risk. Always.

Good morning and happy Monday, everyone.

As you can possibly guess, there's not a ton I can say, as I am sure there will be users in the mix who would highly prefer to not have their actions put forward to the public and who have kept mum since their accounts were closed.

However, I can give a few points.

Firstly, there was no ban for ArcDPS. Not sure how that rumour started, but it seems to come up every time a padlock is placed and so far each time it was brought up, that was not the core issue. That folks spoke up who never used it could have been a tip-off, too.

And with that addressed, I can only go into general things here.

Last week, a user was actioned for very, very blatant cheating in PvP (which is why the meme thread is kind of funny to me right now...). The user in question had a bunch of other violations piled in as we investigation the situation and we actioned his accounts and the accounts used to cheat with.

In doing s...

I've Been around since a few months before the Guild Wars E3 for everyone event back in 2004. I Worked on Guild Wars Beyond content with Linsey and Robert Gee who are also both still here. There are still some of the old school Guild Wars folks around, and certainly plenty of people who worked on the initial launch of Guild Wars 2. I don't know the exact numbers, but I think it's safe to say, as the saying goes, "there are dozens of us!"
