Guild Wars 2 Dev Tracker

For the first year+ after Shat first made it in game, it was fondly known as the Shattnerer by most of the early Gw2 writing and content teams. I'm pretty sure Darrin had pictures up on the wall around the office similar to the sweet sweet link from Bobby. Fun memories ;)

For additional trips down memory lane -> This was also the first ever giant boss built that made it into the game.

Though it wasn't actually the first giant boss model ever made, that distinction rests with the leviathan (a massive crazy huge sea creature boss that only ever showed in trailers) was the first ever giant boss model. Early in development after the model was built engineering shot it down as creatures that large in water were too expensive for performance and our engine couldn't support moving platforms (collision) in large open world maps.

Please report players you observe behaving in this manner. Because there is not a better category at this time, I'd agree that filing it under "Botting" would suffice. As a reminder, match manipulation is defined in the GW2 Rules of Conduct as follows: "While participating in Plaver-vs-Player (PvP) gameplay, you will not participate in any form of match manipulation. Match manipulation is defined as any action taken to fix or manipulate the outcome of a match or alter or manipulate the rankings or ratings of the ladder. This also includes disrupting other people’s game experience by not actively participating in matches in good faith, a.k.a leeching."

Info on this is covered at the end of the blog, but absolutely yes, this is still true.

Interesting. I would have assumed that an oval type shape would behave correctly. I haven't ever used unity, and so don't know of any nuances to their collision detection. =/

Pretty fun. Nice job. I liked that I could easily control and direct the rebound direction; it made it pretty easy to plan and execute my bounces.

One note though, I got in a state where the ball was on the far right edge of the screen, and would only bounce directly up. I couldn't get it to hit the right side of the screen and ricochet back into the game play area. At first, I assumed I would be able to time my cloud's movement, and slam into the ball, from the left, right as it was about to cause a fail case. I had hoped that would push the ball into the right side of wall and get me my needed ricochet. No luck :( I ended up seeing no other choice but to just let the ball fall and start over. Maybe that means your cloud's collision volume is a rect? If that is the case, maybe consider putting some banked corners on the top right and top left.

Either way, nice job :)

Glad to hear you and your friend are ok.

You totally deserved it. Happy holidays everyone :)
