Are you guys ever going to add a real alternative to butternut squash soup? Condition food now has 3 versions of the same stat food :P

Chances are that it was a candidate of a few dagger skins where those not chosen will become Gem Store skins.

Side Note: While I think the legendary rifle HMS Divinity is a neat looking rifle skin, the Arcane Marksman rifle was probably a legendary rifle finalist and didn't make the cut, hence became a gem store skin, which fully fleshed out, would have been a more desirable weapon for me to obtain in-game had it been the Legendary they chose.

Here is a technical question - before PoF launched you said that thanks to upgrades to the engine you could increase the draw distance, which really helped make the PoF maps feel grand. Both LWS4 maps released so far however feature very restricted draw distance. Is there any particular reason for this?

Regarding the end of the episode.

The episode was great. The final fight was amazing! But... It would possibly be even more if I didn't have 2fps :/ (and I don't play on a potato). I want this kind of epic fights in the future! But... If all of them are going to be so heavy for my pc idk... Did... Could some optimization be closer to the center of attention on your table?

I've not seen it asked yet, so what was the strangest or funniest issue / glitch / bug in the system that you guys ran into in designing and programming all the things that went into this episode?

Any update on the Mac client issue that the client reads a ton of data off the hard drive?

Hi Z and Team. Great episode.

Question for you Z, when will we get to see your armory?

I just want to say, you did a fantastic job introducing a new charr tribe and new characters in this story. And that final boss battle is honestly my favourite one ever.

You made an episode that was just fun to play all the way through non-stop even when it wasn't instanced story events (i think previous episodes failed to do this).

Really well done, the most enjoyable living world episode yet, thank you for all your hard work.

Hey ANet, loved the new story and I can't wait to finish the new map events + achievements!

... which brings me to a question I've had for a long time.

Why are the point rewards for achievements so low these days? Does it have to do with post Pinnacle weapon and backpiece rewards not being done/envisioned yet? Thinking I'll have to wait literal years at this pace to wear the radiant backguard is really discouraging, and I'm in NA's top 10. Can anyone offer any insight on this at all?

For me, The Belgariad. I'm reading through it again after 20ish years and it's just as good as I remember.

just wanted to give a compliment to the guys who designed all the inquest stuff and gave the asura in this episode very good characterisations in my opinion.

this is how I always imagined a inquest city/base would look like. big but on the inside intimidating, oppressive and confusing. whenever you used the inquest in the past they never had anything new. they always looked like the metrica province inquest.

love it that put in the extra mile to update the inquest as a whole!

API support was promised last AMA, 1 month later we got the dev promoted and API on hold again and so on as it happened many times before.

Will you ever acknowledge API is a very important thing for the community and actually, properly, meaningfully support it? Hiring a dedicated person, even as half-time job would be a great start.

We did a lot of things this episode that were a bit risky and pushed the capabilities of the engine. We have a bunch of moving platforms, story instances that transfer directly to other story instances, wind/magnet/gravity tech, and lots of player-specific open world stuff. QA had their work cut out for them and were total troopers.

Congratulations on the release, I'm absolutely loving it so far! The in particular is amazing and exactly the kind of lore development I love to see.

Are these AMAs going to continue for future episodes independent of the forum AMAs?

Oh, also, I found myself in the new JP and, without spoiling anything, even when I go to the correct console and click on the password, the game thinks I haven't and doesn't give me the option to use it on the elevator :(
