The wardrobe doesn't actually track items, but rather the art that they reference. Backpacks are in the wardrobe, because they have a model, while other accessories don't. Aurora, along with the various jewels and infusions with visual effects are set up in a different way that doesn't interface with the wardrobe

Due to how the wardrobe works, it's extremely unlikely that accessories will be added. In the long term, I'd like to have a solution for the legendary accessories (turning off the effects if you don't want them, and ways to acquire additional accessories for alts), but it probably won't be through the wardrobe system.

I'm not 100% sure, but from some testing locally, they should reappear (so long as that item isn't used to make a recording or something else happens to change that value). And yeah, they became unstackable as a side effect of a change that I made to fix a rare issue that some people were reporting, and we missed that that change caused the devices to not stack anymore.

They should be stackable again in the next build.

That was the intent by the designer that put the drops for them together, but I think the issue is that the "Ruined Log" has confusing messaging. It probably would have worked better with a trash item that isn't the item you get from gathering a node with the wrong quality of axe.

Well, most other ways of writing the date would have been too obvious. I initially had it as 20050426, but the 2005 at the start made it feel much more obviously a date, so I shortened it down to a 2-digit year. I'm surprised someone actually made the connection.

The invisible-ness of these isn't intended, and should be fixed in an upcoming hotfix.

Yeah, I liked parts of Malazan, but other parts were a little depressing/slow for me. I haven't read any of the new Tiste series, though- just up through Crippled God. For grimdark fantasy, the series that I've like the most was probably Joe Abercrombie's First Law series.

I'd have to go with the Stormlight Archives by Brandon Sanderson. Honorable mentions include the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher, Kingkiller Chronicles by Pat Rothfuss, the Powder Mage trilogy by Brian McClellan, and the Lightbringer books by Brent Weeks.

It's intended to be a lower version, as most of the other food options have other options that provide slightly lower stats than the top-tier food, but there was no similar option for Power/Ferocity. The intent wasn't to replace the Butternut Squash Soup, but to provide an option that can hopefully satisfy some of the demand, which will hopefully help bring the price down.

Just to clarify, you're getting the ruined logs in addition to the elder wood, correct? I've got a fix I'm working on for that, but they should currently be giving normal logging results, with a chance of getting extra ruined logs, unless there's another issue I'm not seeing.

Did you get the Sandswept Isles portal scroll? The tome is used to combine all of the portal scrolls for the season, so you can have all of the different portal scrolls in one inventory spot. You can insert the scrolls in the tome, and then using the tome will let you portal to any of the season 4 maps that you've inserted scrolls for.

The update notes for this came in too late for the main notes, but should be coming with the first hotfix.

You can now use Powdered Rose Quartz to purchase material shipments from Quartermaster Zineb in the Sunspear Base. We wanted to preserve a way to make this useful for players outside of the Astral and Stellar weapons, that didn't involve straight silver from vendors.

This shouldn't prevent you from being able to complete the collection- Yasna will still give you a collector if you're on the appropriate step of the collection, and the collector should become filled automatically when entering the miasma- the double-click ability is a failsafe- and the filled collector can still be returned to Yasna for achievement progress.

As one of the devs in the AMA, it's mostly because the devs that are participating in the AMA following a Living World release don't work on PvP, WvW, class balance, gemstore, or other things that people ask questions about, and we don't know the answers to those questions. Arenanet has hundreds of people, and we don't all know details on what developers working on different parts of the game are doing or what they have planned. Even where we might know some of what is being worked on, we typically don't know enough to give details or speak officially on those topics.

I set up Kralkatite to work with consume all, but then apparently forgot to enable that. I'll see about getting that added.

The spear and scythe weapons were built as staves when they were created for the NPCs that use them. We may be able to add some non-standard skins for other types of weapons, but it often doesn't work well as different weapon shapes often have significant clipping issues or look unnatural with certain class/race animations.

While we don't always add basic merchants, most of the things that they sell are available from the heart vendors in the map.

We don't currently have any plans to convert unbound magic into volatile magic. We want to make sure that the rewards are tied to the content, while using unbound magic or providing a conversion both makes the rewards available without having to play the new content, as well as making imbalanced farming locations like Bitterfrost Frontier feel like it's required to be efficient for earning season 4 rewards as well.

The seed offers 4 purchase options, one corresponding with each gobbler. Purchasing the option that takes bloodstone dust and dragonite ore shares the cooldown with the sentient anomaly, so if you buy all 6 from the seed, you won't be able to use the anomaly anymore, and if you use the gobbler, you won't be able to purchase them from the seed anymore. You can get a total of 24 fluctuating masses either by using all 4 gobblers 6 times, or buying 6 of each listing from the seed (or by doing a combination of both).
