Guild Wars 2 Dev Tracker

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.

EDIT: But you know that, you linked it as a source.

Ohhh, that's interesting! I don't know why, but I'm holding out hope that this all ends well for Blaine.

Hopefully he'll join Dragon's Watch so it's not just Taimi and me. Imagine having a King on our side!

Are you implying htat whatever samarog is achieving in his spare time (spearthrow championships) is not something you care about? So mean.

Ah, that's interesting! In terms of design, does this mean that going forward, new content will be more "consistent"? And by consistent I mean that new content will be using the AI system in a similar way (tuned to desired difficulty of course).

So does this mean that the other designers at ANet were not using the same tools that the raid team designers were?

Removed this ability’s interaction with quickness.

What the HELL.

I mean, Weakening Charge was still better than quickened Vault, but Vault wasn't as clunky to use as WC rotation. Now we're back to turning autotargetting off or what? Please don't let it be true.

EDIT: For those who didn't know, it's propably caused by a bug with Vault and quickness. Basically quickness makes the attack happen while you're still in the air, not on target location. It's not noticable in melee range, but it completely negates your damage on far targets.

Hopefully this interaction will return after they find a fix, but it feels f**king bad man.

While you're looking into bosses, the double-wiping on Deimos is really annoying too.

Door laser is not only on KC tho. In every boss now the second somebody triggers the aggro the fight will instantly start. (VG and Sab for example)

Man, so this is what causes it! What a frustrating bug! We had Chronomancers with bizarrely low boon duration, condition classes with strangely low condition duration, and the works. We always figured out that rejoining the instance fixed it, but never what caused it. Glad to finally be aware of the issue.

/u/CrystalRAID can you please make sure this gets looked at? Thanks. :)

so is this also character locking? Or if someone had two characters with the same profession but different builds would that be ok?

So... Question.

If they're not allowed to come back. That means automatic loss for the team. Basically meaning the whole team pays if someone messes up. Same thing with d/c's

They can't ever guarantee only 1 of a class because duos can have 2 of a class. The system will most likely try and take 2 single players of that class within rating range and put them on the other team if possible. It'll never be perfect matches.
