Hey, I've got a couple of questions.

Will you, for upcoming maps, include meta-events like Auric Basin or Verdant Brink that require coordination and teamwork? The coordination and teamwork required in AB and VB metas make them so much more fun, interesting and challenging to beat, unlike DS and TD which is mostly "get enough people to each lane, and do the events that pop up".

Will we see more 'vertical' maps such as the new one or VB? I quite enjoy the change of pase these maps give over flatlands like most of the original maps. And if so, will we see the new Mastery in upcoming maps again?

I just want to tell whoever made that jumping puzzle that you're an absolute madman.

In all seriousness though, after trying to find my way around for around 3 hours, I finally finished it! I loved it. Especially at the end where I kept using my charges on the grappling mastery and realizing there was yet another room after I should've saved them for.

Never stop making this kind of content!

People are experiencing issues where their Shadow Abyss dye makes their Heavy Legendary Armor silver rather than black.

Hey guys, just wanted to say great job on the update!

Only one question, will we be able to use the new mastery outside of the new map?

Regarding legendary armors:

How do you address the backpack hovering on light, the tail-clipping on medium, and the undyeablility on heavy?

Any news on WvWvW improvements ?

Final fight, when you first start fighting the hounds and "kill" one of them, the fight bugged out and scanning the machine did nothing. Had to let the hound come back to life and kill him 3 more times before I could scan the machine and make any progress in that fight

Here are my thoughts as someone who plays WvW most of any game mode currently and has for the past year. WvW has a LOT of vocal minorities, and it is hard to get one communal opinion on what it needs. You can find the major threads through the community if you look hard enough and dilute the salt.

It requires playing almost exclusively WvW for a few good months . Play it all, roam, group up with a guild group (and actually run what they ask and try to help not hurt). Go hop into a massive blob, spend time building a keep up from T0-T3, tear down a T3 keep until it is swiss cheese then spend the next hour fighting to cap it (This is by far my favorite). You will learn a lot.

There are server identities, absolutely. and every server has their own flavor, as examples I will produce the 2 polar opposites of NA. Maguuma and Yaks Bend. I spent the better part of a year on Mag and have fought YB in every single tier since moving from Mag. Mag is extremely fight heavy and...

This isn't the option to disable Quip and Dreamer's sounds, right?

Yes, though this was unranked PvP not ranked so I don't think the class restrictions apply?

Let's see:

• Cloud at top plays SAB music when clicked.
• The quote in OP is from the Back to School instance (partially)
• We see the Genie again for first time(?) since Back to School.
• Scrolling thing talks about CODE, makes me think a hint to that instance? Did we actually truly did get an update to SAB but it wasn't World 3? ^{I'm doubtful but that's all my brain can think of atm}

If this is truly a hidden scavenger hunt you've placed, reminds me of the beginning hints to War in Kryta, with the hidden urls...

But something tells me it's just hinting that the "cat" in 2-2 just wants soup. :(

Again, I think this uncertainty from the in-game speaker is fascinating.

It's a common plot device for building living game worlds. By doing so, they're able to retcon the story and events whenever they see fit for the development of the game, since they're not actual facts, but just stories told within the game world.

People involved in the narrative and overall direction these games take come and go all the time, and ideas are thrown into the pot constantly. It's natural that some of them are discarded, while others turn into canon as development goes. Still, it's an immersive and elegant solution to this issue and I also love in-game narrators and the fact that they're not always right or honest, but rather just telling their point of view.

That's nothing really new, they simply expanded upon an already existing theory. Since the launch of the game we have known that the kodan consider the norn to be their devolved cousins. Scratch that, we've known since before the launch of the game: https://web.archive.org/web/20130208175641/http://www.arena.net/blog/the-wisdom-and-power-of-the-kodan.
