Hey, great work on the expansion. The level of quality is just amazing. I loved the story and mounts feel great, can't wait to get my griffon.

My favorite part about those huge maps is how many little treasure caves and other secrets are hidden on the maps. I've played a lot and completed the first map 3 times already and today I still found a new place, the spider cave under the griffon rooster.

You guys really delivered a lot of fun and interesting content and I appreciate that very much. Thank you all :D

Really glad that you are enjoying it. We appreciate you all playing! Thank you! :)

Currently you can't use mounts while beeing transformed (Embiggening, Minature, Watchknight, Kodan). Is a change for this on the table or will this stay for sure?

This will likely stay. We currently don't really really have different classifications of transforms(they are used in all sorts of ways across the game) and a lot of them that would be cause issues or balance concerns if we let you mount and remove the transform.

Mounts team -

Thanks for making the mounts drive like dump trucks, the entire feel is great, like we're actually mounted. How do you feel having mounts affects Central Tyria aka map completion?

The Zephyrite movement system is quite fun, seems like it took some effort to develop, but is limited to three places. I thought it was limited to these to minimize taking shortcuts in other maps, but mounts open up similar ways to travel. Did you play with using the Aspect movement system in more of the game (additional maps, as a Zepherite mount, or in the next xpac)?

I can't really touch on the zephyite skills as I wasn't part of that team, but having mounts usable everywhere in the open world was the plan from the start. We knew that with such a big addition to movement and exploration, it would feel bad if it was limited to just a few areas. It would feel like we gave you this great toy then took it away from you whenever you played elsewhere. We hope it'll encourage a lot of people to go back and play areas they have played before to see it with a fresh pair of eyes. Maybe even seen some map complete speed runs. xD

Hello there!

I am one of those who really appreciated your work on Path of Fire and I am excited to see what the next Living World will bring in!

My questions are related to Legendaries, since PoF didn't have new ones on release.

1) Can we expect PoF exclusive Legendaries in the future updates? If yes, which types ( I remember you mentioned trinkets in an earlier AMA )?

2) Will there be Legendary Mounts in the future, considering there are "Legendary Gliders" tied to backpacks?

3) I am one of those weird guys that must ask this: Legendary Aquabreathers - will we ever see them?

Thank you all ArenaNet for your amazing production and I surely am one of those that will keep spreading the word! Keep it up!

Will there be Legendary Mounts in the future, considering there are "Legendary Gliders" tied to backpacks?

There are no plans right now for a legendary mount. We don't have different quality tiers of mounts, just different ways to acquire them like griffon vs the other mounts.

This really needs an answer. Revenant is such a fantastic class that clearly had a lot of love and effort put into it, but it's let down by being neglected after HoT-BWE2.

/u/Anet_RoyCronacher, I know you don't work on the class anymore, but is there anything you can discuss about this? Or can any of the other devs for that matter?

I can add a bit of info here but tagging /u/anet_karlmclain in case he has anything to add.

sword scaling - known issue on our radar. it's a tech issue of firing skills in different ways in the back end. The damage will have to be looked at and adjusted once this is fixed.

sword 2 targets - this is a known issue that needs some new tech to resolve but we know about it and it's on our radar to fix.

jalis hammers - on just inclines? it shouldn't end unless you run out of energy, turn it off or the projectiles hit walls. The projectiles should be hovering above the ground so they should follow the terrain of inclines.

uw legends - we know right now there aren't many options. The work has to be weighed against other things we are working on but we'd like to eventually make more legends useable underwater.

In Colin's absence we seem to be lacking dank memes. Is there any way the dev team can help us make up for our lost ground?

I'm sure new dank memes will arise in the future. It's inevitable.

Roy on creatures? I want Revenant developer back, tho!

Yup, a bit after the launch of HoT I transitioned teams to be team lead on creatures, working on expansion 2. You are in good hands with /u/Anet_KarlMcLain and the rest of the skills and balance team. I'm still involved with that team though and provide lots of advice and feedback, ;)
