Gonna be honest, I did not care for Ankka her motivations didn’t sell me. “Ongoing solutions to the dragon crisis have caused other problems snd made me anxious, so therefore let’s just give up and end the world.”… Meh. We’ll voice acted though, like you said.

Yeah, no motive is going to please everyone, and that’s fair. It is worth noting (and this wasn’t clear enough in game itself beyond a few lines) that her goal was to RESET the world, not end it. Wait it out in the mists so she could go back to killing herself over and over I suppose

I’m pretty proud of how Rama turned out, but I also have strong soft spots for Ivan, Joon, Navan, Ankka… okay I like all the characters we introduced don’t @ me.

the VA’s knocked it out of the park

What!!! Ok I'll be honest, I'm a total casual (even though I've been playing for 15.5 years since GW1:Factions), and only JUST discovered that meta event the other day. I have never in my life had so much fun with an event, I was giggling like crazy. The last few months have been HELL in real life for me and that moment of sheer joy is something that just made my soul happy. So thank you for that. ❤️

That means so much :) I’m glad I could give you some joy in a hard time.

I think I saw that you created the Metal Legion concert event? That is one of my all time favorites in GW2. I've never seen something like that in an MMO before. So awesome and so fun. Thank you for that and all your other work on GW2.

Metal Legion will ALWAYS be one of the highlights of my career. It was wonderful collaborating with art, narrative, and audio to make that bonkersness happen

Bit sad. Liked him. But people come and go. The ebb and flow of life.

They do — and every person who moves around brings new ideas to the fold :) I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds for Guild Wars 2!

I’ll miss being a part of it, though, for sure.

I will miss many things about working here but every mention of me being followed by this meme I’m ready to leave behind ;)

Love ya’ll nonetheless. I’ll be around.

I love that this gets rediscovered every few years haha

Implementing this easter egg was pretty easy, and it’s brought people joy for a while now

TBH making jokes about the health of my actual cat kinda crosses a line for me :P Not that it'll stop anyone, but I'm very attached to her.

I'm glad she's in game now and I hope people do pet her!

I mean, one of the cats added to the island is literally my cat from real life. I think they'll be fine.

We had a big debate internally about if it was too obvious. Only after the first round of playtests were we sure it wasn't haha

I groaned when the void was introduced because it looked like an excuse to reuse older enemies in the last half of the story, but the story helped justify it and the final fight made it all worthwhile. Getting to fight Primordus, Jormag and most of all Zhaitan felt so satisfying. It went on a long time, but it was a fitting climax for the story that started nearly ten years ago. Great job, ANet.

Connor, you are not forgiven.

Really glad people are enjoying this fight. Ben Arnold was the main implementer behind it, I helped out a little here and there.

Was quite a conversation, figuring out how to execute the “final encounter” of the Dragon saga. We’re all pretty proud of how it turned out.

Oh boy! This comment caused me to realize a line during that final phase isn’t firing on live, so thank you for that ;)

(Tl;Dr: it’s all one entity, just shifting forms)

There are a lot of fun quest step texts we got in this time, but this is one of my favorites

The team had a lot of fun with Snargle this expansion. In general, a bunch of the Arborstone collections have some really nice material in them.
