Guild Wars 2 Dev Tracker

Hi all, I'm adding one more answer to the list and hope to be back with more later today. What will happen for rune sets with a special ability on rune 2 and 4? Unique 2 and 4 slot bonuses will become raw stats. (Boon and condition duration increases are not considered unique and will not be removed from runes.)

I want to quickly clarify that the blog post was not edited at all after publication, and still says seven: "In fact, each of the seven legendary runes you create will unlock further progress toward these relics. "

Hello all and happy Friday! I've been keeping an eye on this thread and have been working with members of several development teams to round up answers to frequently asked questions that I've seen. (Huge thanks to everyone on the team who helped me with answers!) Answers are below, but I've also added them to my original post so they're easy to find and share. I'm going to get caught up on the thread this morning and while there are things we can't discuss right now, if I see more questions that can be answered I'll work with the team on those and try to provide more replies. As always, thank you all for continuing to discuss and provide feedback--we appreciate it! FAQ: What happens to rune slot 6? Slot 6 will be another stat bonus. Some runes already have a stat bonus here, and those that don’t will have one added. Can I equip 5 runes and +1 of another set? You can, as you can now, but this will be giving up the 6-slot bonus of one rune s... Read more

Bug Fixes: Imaginary Axes: Fixed a bug that caused clones to apply more torment than intended. Fixed a bug in which player contribution to collection events was incorrectly displayed as zero. Fixed a bug that caused the Griffon Rental Post recipe to not use Zephyr Lanterns from the guild's inventory. Fixed a texture issue on tentacles in the Solid Ocean fractal

I'm a strong advocate for both playing Guild Wars 2 and spending plenty of time outdoors. Everyone should do both things! Weather and Internet access permitting! I'm much less fond of arguing back and forth about who should and shouldn't be touching grass... especially when there's a whole relics blog to discuss!

The blog post is live! Here's a thread for you to discuss it! (there's a link to the blog there too) I'm gonna close this thread now that the full details are live.

Learn all about the expansion's newest equipment slot. EDIT: Below are some answers to frequently asked questions. We may add more as we keep an eye on this thread and see questions we are able to answer at this time. What happens to rune slot 6? Slot 6 will be another stat bonus. Some runes already have a stat bonus here, and those that don’t will have one added. Can I equip 5 runes and +1 of another set? You can, as you can now, but this will be giving up the 6-slot bonus of one rune set for the 1 slot bonus of another. Will relics that launch cover all the special effect from each 6-rune set? Not all existing 6-slot rune bonuses will be available as relics at launch. We will continue adding additional core relics over time as part of our ongoing commitment to improving our core game features. Can you explain the note about “choice of three core relics”? When we say "your choice ... Read more

Hi all, I want to share an update related to graphics-related processes we’ve been working on. Following up on our news earlier this year, we have completed the rollout of DX11 support and removed support of DX9. We have also discontinued Coherent support as part of our move to Chromium Embedded Framework. This means that the -usecoherent, -dx9, and -dx11 command line options are no longer functional. They will be removed in a future update. We are continuing to track and investigate bugs related to these updates, so please keep reporting bugs that you find—we really appreciate it! Please note that the more information you share, the better. The first thing we have to do when investigating a bug report is recreate the problem for ourselves in order to take a close look at it, and the details in your bug reports are very helpful for that. Thank you!

Thanks for flagging this! I let people know and they're looking into it.

Hello friends, I'm here with an update that the blog is coming on the 20th. As we said in Rubi's original post, it takes us time to lock text down and get it through our publishing pipeline. Please accept my apologies for the delay from our communicated schedule.

Hello, just updating to let you know there's a fix for this in the works. Thank you for flagging it!
