The first dev-tagged person I ever interacted with in game was Gaile. Before I was active on this subreddit or their forums. I saw the tag and walked up to talk to her. As someone who did game development in the past, I was more than a little surprised to see someone flaunting a game tag. She talked to me for a few minutes, being super polite and friendly. She had to be getting peppered with tells, and was also talking in map chat. Made a big impression on me, and I bet she doesn't even remember it.

Every map I've ever been in that has had a Gaile spotting has had people cheering her on. This is a highly disappointing move - if more games had a 'Gaile', they'd have a lot more happy communities.

Since I'm pretty sure she reads here, good luck u/GaileGray - may you and The Frog travel well.

A note about me: I'm a QA Embed, not a PvP Designer :)

Hugh was just confirming both of our employment statuses in the same thread.

That could possibly work. Especially because the most interesting and creative world-building was in act 2 (Tarir, Novus).

That the first act spends so much time (relatively to others) towards that not-very-important frog tribe is what messed up the pace and some of the player's expectations. It (wrongly) established that HoT's story pace was not in a rush, that it as not afraid to start slow and simple before transitioning onto the bigger things... and then, suddenly, when the bigger things came to light, they happened so fast, that it makes me wonder why we spent so much time with frogs at the beginning.

I also think there was some disparity between what HoT's story wanted to be (a fast-paced climatic rush towards the finale) and what the ending of season 2's story promised it to be (especially the focus to nightmare court, which was weirdly absent, and to the focus to sylvari's corruption, which was told well in ambient map storytelling, but not that developed in...

I appreciate you saying Path of Fire handled it better, as I completely agree that we gleaned a LOT from our experience of crafting the HoT story. I think we continued to get better with every release, and I'm confident and hopeful for the team to continue raising that bar of excellence.

Surprise :)

I am so very sorry. My thoughts are with Amber's friends, family, and guild.

I can't speak for everyone, but I know myself and plenty of others play almost daily. Keep in mind, we don't always have the fancy logo near our names - that only pops up when we are representing the ArenaNet guild. Some of us prefer to stay somewhat anonymous, but it doesn't mean we aren't out there~ :)

I've got so many characters and memories I could share, but let's stick to four of my favorites...

Kaelryn Silverleaf

- Sylvari Elementalist, Magister of the Durmand Priory, and my first real RP character. She's been around for a good long while and has been through so many exciting narratives... Some of you out there might even recognize her from before I started working at ArenaNet! I've been an elementalist main since in the beginning, so she's also been through plenty of fun in the other game modes, including ...
