Do I understand right that you can only buy 6 items a day with the seed and with the gobblers i could create up to 24 a day?

and come back in at a checkpoint not far from the step you got stalled on

Wait, for how long has this checkpoint feature been a thing?

Is it intended that all the legendary trinkets are gated behind the Sentient Seed? We must give up our Sentient Anomaly, Oddity, and Aberration by combining with the Unbound Magic munching Singularity?

Dragonite and Empyreal have no function beyond crafting Vision Crystals and so these munchers are a blessing. However Unbound Magic is a required resource for all new merchants in the last year and must be farmed.

Til now we had the choice of keeping them separate so as to not be forced to farm Unbound Magic constantly in order to destroy trash excess Dragonite and Empyreal. Gating Legendary Trinkets behind the being forced to delete Empyreal and Dragonite again seems harsh.

edit: added Vision crystals.

/u/Mike-OBrien-ArenaNet or /u/Anet_AndrewM maybe you can help answer this. When legendary armor was released, there was talk about legendary weapons allowing players to swap sigils like legendary armor. This would be one of the most enormously important QOL updates for these weapons since we currently can't recover sigils from our legendaries. Is there any movement being made in bringing this functionality over to weapons? Thank you in advance.

Who is behind that jumping puzzle?! Whoever it is, I love you. Can we expect more jumping puzzles with a checkpoint system like this one in the future?

Anyone else missing the new home instance node from the vendor in Siren's Landing.

It was a bit weird that two particular people didn't recognise us from the human personal story. And a bit of a slap that person didn't trust us, considering her last interaction with us was telling the PC how their parents would be proud of them. Is there just not enough time to tie in things from the personal story when writing Living World episodes? Also you'd think spoiler I'm just curious as to why these weren't included.

EDIT: I really enjoyed the episode btw! This is a writing/prioritisation question, not a complaint!

I guess I wish I had a really good question for you guys but I don't. I just wanna say I really feel like you guys hit it out of the park with this release. New fractal with a challenge mode, new (cool!) story episode and a pretty sweet zone (love the Dwayna reliquary). Two legendary weapons instead of one, I honestly haven't even looked at the hammer properly but I'm head over heels for the sword. A surprise legendary* trinket too! The materials storage changes, the book of teleport scrolls, the updates to the old legendaries. Absolutely awesome.

Can I just say thank you for this wonderful game. I know this isn't EP6 related, but I've not been able to play GW2 until the last few months and now that I have it has blown me away. It really is one of the best games I've played, and I've been playing games since 3D Monster Maze on the Spectrum.

I'm still catching up with everything - HoT, LW, etc - but I'm so chuffed to be playing at this exciting time and cannot wait to see how things develop during the next expansion.

Cheers!

I noticed that you've done some 'testing' with new engine features, most noticeably the Blessing of Dwayna(I think it was) that is present on the gliding section of the story with toxic clouds, and of course the Ley-Line creature skills. Those felt like little experiments with new features, is it safe to assume that these are little tests for what's to come in the expansion and how we, the playerbase, would react to these new mechanics?

What was the most unexpected/weird/interesting source of a bug you encountered so far?

One feature I remember asking for long ago were Lore Books, which we now have and I personally love. I also remember one of the writers saying a long time ago that they have the tech for them themselves to do that kind of stuff, so I would like to thank you guys for that feature, for pouring more of the incredible lore of this for us to read and at the same time encourage you to create many more book/dairies/recording collections cause the players that asked for it are really happy, definitely reading and collecting them!

To the Living World Team: With regards to the new maps that have been introduced with Season 3, what were some of the mechanics introduced, or reintroduced, to open world content that you saw was the most well received?

To Everyone: If you could watch a movie with any of the recurring characters in the story; who would it be, and what movie would you watch?

Can you describe the new episode in a haiku, without spoilers?

I loved the story in One Path Ends, and I also liked the variety in rewards, both short term and long term. Big success! I look forward to exploring the new map further! (And beyond!)

Q: With the increased attention that has been given to rewards, particularly since late Season 2, why are achievement points distributed so sparingly now? For example, story steps in Seasons 2 & 3 have granted zero achievement points, and many other difficult achievements in Season 3 have granted fewer than 5 each. The point values have been so low in some categories that they almost feel like placeholders, waiting for the real values to be assigned. (A more recent of healthier point values can be found with the Shatterer achievements.)

Some examples:

• Gold in Adventures — 1 AP each
• I'm Rubber; You're Destroyer (Kill forty Destroyers with their own pustule bombs in the Dra...

Lore question. A book in the Shining Blade HQ says that Livia retired from her Master Exemplar role, then spent the rest of her life in said HQ before dieing in 1157. The same book lists a few Masters Exemplar, starting with Laurelai in ... 1157.

Question : how much time passed between Livia's retirement and her supposed death ? Several years (in this case there must be another Master Exemplar between her and Laurelai) ? A few weeks/months (in this case there is no other Master Exemplar) ?

Also, Bartholos' book says it was written in 1089AE, but it also says he gave it to the Shining Blade in 1088AE. Which year is correct ?

I need to know so I make sure I didn't write wrong stuff on the wiki page
