Guild Wars 2 Dev Tracker

I'm a GW2 roleplayer (I know, cringe...), and I wanted to give a shoutout to everyone who has worked on all the content so far. This is the best RP experience I've ever had in my life. Just yesterday I was nearly crying tears of joy because I actually had A PLAYER HEALER for the first time in five years. People have been so kind, and I've managed to find such kind people.

Thank you, THANK YOU for making all of this possible.

As for questions, any possibility of more mechanical-looking mount skins? Bought the Reforged Hellhound and made it look like a Golem, and it's been an integral part of my Asura for a bit (there was even a plot where we had to get it back from the Cavaliers 'cause made with Forged metal), but wouldn't mind having some other golemesque mounts....

Edit: Race/Class/Gender breakdown of dev team's characters?

Just finished playing the story for this patch, you guys have done a great job as usual.

What was the best part of your job this patch (favourite thing you worked on for example or really anything you enjoyed) ?

Also, how many different voice recording for any character (ennemy, friendly npc, player character, really any character) do you have saying "Praise joko" ?

I don't have a qustion, I just want to thank you for this awesome release! This is clearly my favourite content update of GW2 so far!

Everything, the living world, new fractal, new raid and even the new legendary weapon feel so connected by the living world which is absolutely one of my most loved aspects of this release. I hope that future releases will do the same thing! :)

When are you going to announce the Design-a-Weapon winners?

With the (entirely deserved) promotion of Lawton a few weeks ago, the API has effectively not been supported. This manifests itself in some parts flickering between working and broken, some parts having outdated or missing information and no new features getting developed.

The community has poured thousands of hours (1) into developing applications and sites that make use of the API (including the official wiki). This is a labour of love towards the game.

These applications support a massive amount of players (2) in their in-game pursuits (such as looking up items or helping with crafting), keep the players engaged with the game when they can't play it (such as checking on your TP orders during travel or school/work breaks) and even give additional goals to complete (such as competing on arbitrary leaderboards or finishing all parts of specific content, for example gilder skins).

TLDR: Are you planning to continue supporting the API?

Chelsea is by far the better raider. Don't tell anyone though I want people to think I'm good.

As someone who works in audio, I think it's much more likely the producer of the trailer track just reused the same samples for the drums/percussion (sounds like Kontakt Action Strikes/West African package, /u/maclaine ?). Maaaaaybe they took a drum loop from the Twisted Marionette fight and sped up the tempo but this seems like a bit of a leap. I don't really hear much besides similar samples to suggest a reference to a motif of any kind.

Got you covered. Here's your old response :)

So future raids will require both expansions? or just PoF? or just Hot?

Since you said raids are expansion content i kind of assume coming raids will only require PoF but since it has no mastery track i'm not sure anymore.

This has never been answered anywhere thats why i'm asking :)

Certainly a fair compromise, glad you're doing it. Just to clarify, that means people who have not done any raids ever will be able to earn spirit shards from HoT mastery experience, correct?

I'm curious why you say hiding the track like the Griffon Mastery track would suck for some people that have it unlocked already. Is this action going to reset progress on the raid masteries for those who already have it unlocked or something?

Outside of that, thanks for the heads-up! I think hiding the track is great and ideal for the game going forward.

I've actually noticed this in raids recently for exactly the reason you specified. Maybe because of its impact on raids, /u/anet_ianim can help?
