I run on Windows 10 and every time I start the game up after this last patch I get prompted that "Command Center" is trying to access something on the disk and if I should allow it.

Is the client looking for some resource that Windows thinks is in a protected area?

Has anyone else had this come up?

Do you have an alienware computer? We have some alienware specific functionality (keyboard lighting, specifically), and it could be that their drivers work differently on Windows 10 or something.

On a scale of one to ten, how close is this to the real thing?

I'd give it a 9.75. ;D

Hey folks! On the PvP end of things, I know that there's been a bit of confusion with regard to the patch notes about the division placement system and Ascension meta achievement progress. I've responded to a couple of threads in the forums already, but I just wanted to jump in here too and let you guys know that crossing divisions as a result of the new season placement system will properly progress the division Ascension achievements in addition to automatically distributing all rewards that you would get for crossing those divisions normally. Again, you will get proper division crossing progress on your Ascension meta achievements if you begin in either Emerald or Sapphire at the start of this season. Sorry for any confusion!

That corgi is not nearly derpy enough. It looks like it is actually capable of cognition to some degree. Preposterous!

Please refer to my academic collection of true corginess.

This bug is literally the worst. To fix and totally quash it is not an insignificant amount of work. When an engineer says it is not a small amount of work you know it is serious.

It bothers me a lot toooooooooooo... so ocd...

Thank you for the response, I know this thread is full of people hailing this as a great return for WvW fighting, people truly hate the environmental hazards in the Desert BL, Rocks from nowhere, blinding sand, etc. However it raises issues among the lesser heard minority who want real competition and strategy in their match ups. The ones who aren't arguing Fights > all are usually drowned out I feel.

The ending of the match and beginning of a new one will probably be a big issue later on, when people know that capping won't matter as much they just wont play or nothing will be capped and massive bloodbaths will ensue (which might be a good thing.)

I am hopeful that you will be able to swap the maps at reset instead of on a Tuesday, as it is probably the best solution.

We're much more likely to-- but I'm not promising this-- work on the ability to change maps without ending the week's round early than we are to work on changing maps dynamically at reset without a game build. "Just" maintaining matchup and score is still technically problematic, but much less work.

Keeping matchup and score: a couple of us can fairly easily see what and where would need to change. Likely has a few gotchas we'll have to watch out for.

Changing maps without a game build: lots of work going against some old code and tools.

There's a tech limitation right now such that changing maps also requires us to end the running match (updating Glicko), and begin a new one.

This is something we'd like to fix in the future.

What is the reasoning behind doing this mid week and not on reset. It just seems odd that you are interrupting such an already time dependent game mode and making massive changes halfway through a match. If it is a tech issue of switching over the maps that's fine, but some insight would be greatly appreciated about why right now and not on Reset.

Would it not make more sense to allow a match to play out fully on one map and swap to the next on reset night?

Sorry if you're not the correct person to ask or should i ask /u/AnetChrisB?

The WvW maps can only be switched with a significant game update. Dynamically changing which map data, "parchment" for the world map, etc. is used was never a part of the original intent of various areas of code involved (as far as I know / can tell).

It would be very nice to have that ability someday; to change maps with a WvW round's end instead of a build. Implementing that is almost certainly very involved. Until then, changing maps involves a lot of manual work and has to happen in sync with a game update.

Currently that also includes ending the running match (updating Glicko) and beginning a new one.
