Maybe next episode you'll find out he finally retired.
But, in the episode after that, you'll have to beg him to come out of retirement.
Hey everyone,
Thanks for bringing this behavior to our attention. We're looking into it.
Little did you know, years of being told that they can be outrun by others really gets to a centaur! ;)
It wasn't uncommon to hear me cackling when we playtested this.
Can confirm.
Dunno who to pass this on to, but by far my second favorite part of this patch is Watchtower Cliffs. I happened upon a 30-strong group that tore through everything, to the boss at the top, then back down. It was artful.
Then we went back up and down. I stopped after that, but they kept going. Some say the cycle continues, to this day.
Solid enjoyment had by all Thanks for getting this content to this level of enjoyment. The champs respawned really slowly - which is good! On the way down we didn't see any champs, and we saw few on the way back up. Still a solid haul of leather and a fun experience. I'd even say toss in a couple more veteran mobs up and down the stretch.
I'm glad you enjoy it, and I've alerted the proper authorities.
Oh it's the Ember Bay team?
I thought there were 3 teams that take turns. So I expected this map to come from the Bloodstone Fen team.
It was the Bloodstone Fen team on this map. :)
nope
Episode 4 was made by the episode 1 team, but Nellie joined our team so you're both partially correct. ;)
Skelk Regurgitant in Tangled Depths
Yasss!! Of all the extra events that happen after completed camps, this one is my fav. Assist-o-matic is a pretty funny little guy, but there's something about that fight....
Assist-o-matic (and most of Rata Novus) were also events I designed. :)
Thank you for the kind words :D
You should be happy to know that it also turned into a leatherfarm with all the champions there, and everything basically ends up dead, and thus balance is restored.
You gotta want it.
Bloodstone Fen Gliding Skills and Hablion
They are really fun. I know you can't tell us anything, but it would be awesome if they appeared in more places than just one single map.
If you hit the leylines in Lake Doric you can use the skills there as well.
It wasn't uncommon to hear me cackling when we playtested this.
I know there are no balance devs here - but I really feel I must ask this question again.
As an engineer main it currently feels like we have been consistently shafted on balance patches for quite some time now. Are there any real plans to actually make this class stronger in PvE through the core traitlines to take the class that currently has the most complex rotation upwards in terms of damage?
Balance dev here! I can't give specifics, but we'll be introducing a few different changes in the next update that we hope will address some of the engineer concerns with the core specializations and general pve viability. We'll be seeing you soon! -Karl
Which one of you evil people designed the last boss in the this episode. I was naked by the end of it!
cough... >:)
What was the inspiration for the HMS Divinity Rifle?
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say, a ship. ;)
The team is looking into these issues right now and hope to get a fix out soon.
Is this factoring in the constant added sinks that come in the form of new legendary items being introduced? They not only require Mystic Coins for Mystic Clovers, but also use a stack of Mystic Coins outright for the Mystic Tribute.
What this means is that the input into the economy and the output from the economy are sitting at a +10% state.
WvW Team
- We desperately need a goal, a purpose, a reason to play WvW and actually win the match-ups. Any info on that?
- What are your plans regarding population and preventing bandwagoning?
- Are we gonna see an overhaul like PvP had, sooner or later?
PvP team
- this season has been great, but the latest tournament of groucharoo shed some lights on the uncertain future of competitive gw2. Is there a chance you will be able to create an automated tournament like that one without having the community organize it? That tournament helped a lot of teams to get better gut right now, aside from organizing scrims, the entry barrier for new teams is very high due to the abscence of automated tournaments where they can practice.
- any word on a balance update regarding underused or completeley unused skills/traits/sigils/runes?
Speaking towards the first part of the PvP section: We loved seeing the support the community gave the Tournament of Groucharoo. And we do understand the importance of team play to Guild Wars 2 PvP. The team has been investigating various ways to bring back team play in a meaningful way but we aren't at a point where we can discuss any particulars yet. We don't like keeping you waiting but we want to make sure we have all of our facts straight.
Have you guys been tracking the accounts primarily associated with these regular suspicious behaviours? Cause these hotfixes on recipes feels a lot like a band-aid to the problem.
I attempted to hire a mercenary company to teach the last group a lesson and set an example, but was told that the expense report would be unceremoniously rejected. :(
