As the Map is underground and under the ring of fire, can we expect to see/is it possible to see a different map directly on top of the new map? or is that complicated to work on the world map?

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the instance!
Hi! Firstly, I want to thank you all for the hard work that you guys do and everything you put up with. It's truly remarkable and your guys' game is simply breath taking. Secondly, as someone who's studied Latin for five years, I was wondering why you chose the name Draconis Mons for the new map. Also, do you all have a Latin expert, or did you use the internet to come up with the name? (If the latter is true, very impressive because Latin is quite the difficult language)
Gratias tibi. Latine bona est!
What inspired you into making MMO's?
I fell in love with the power of MMOs to connect people across social boundaries. In the online worlds that I've spent a lot of time in, I've made friends that I would likely never have encountered in the context of my usual social circles, and I treasure knowing those people.
Final fight, when you first start fighting the hounds and "kill" one of them, the fight bugged out and scanning the machine did nothing. Had to let the hound come back to life and kill him 3 more times before I could scan the machine and make any progress in that fight
Hi there. Sorry to hear about your trouble with the hound fight. :-/
In pursuit of tracking down the problem, I was wondering if you can recall any specifics about what happened? Was the problem that scanning the machine just had no effect until one of the hounds had died three more times, or were there other elements of the fight or environment that were behaving strangely? Did the hounds keep attacking you? Did Taimi say anything while the fight was bugged? Do you remember what your quest steps were? Do you remember whether the first hound you killed was Tegon (stays at range and occasionally charges) or Temar (plods toward you and puts down AoEs)?
Anything you can remember would be helpful in trying to narrow down what could have caused the hound fight to glitch for you.
Hi! I'm a returning player who got the game bundled with HoT weeks before it came out. I had to uninstall for awhile and came back just in time to unlock the Living world season 3.
What should I be looking to acquire in the Ring of Fire? Who are the Mursaat? How do I get into the new map? Can a non-expert player like me safely travel across the map, or will it be more difficult to do alone like the enemies in the Heart of Maguuma are?
Welcome back!
There are a number of different rewards available to earn in Ember Bay, but I'll leave you to discover those.
There is a NPC in Bloodstone Fen (episode 1) that offers a cutscene which explains who the Mursaat are. I /think/ it's Bennet, down in the camp below the airship, or another NPC thereabout. It's way cooler than any explanation I could offer, so I'll let you go watch that.
You might have to get a little creative in dodging creatures in Ember Bay, but the map was designed to allow you to do that mostly. You should find it navigable.
Cheers!
Going forward, can players expect that future content updates to the core story will require owning the core game and all current expansions?
Season 3 requires HoT, so it's reasonable to expect that the season which ships after the second expansion will require that expansion.
Did you know I would have the next 3 days off to do nothing but take recreational psychotropic substances and play the new episode? I do have a few adult things I must take care of, however I think there will be plenty of time for both.
Of all recreational psychotropics, are there any that you would highly recommend or recommend against for this episode and new map?
I think ghost peppers or the equivalent would be a very appropriate mind-altering substance to ingest while adventuring in Ember Bay. The resulting sweating should really bring the map to life. ;)
What are the eleven wonders of Tyria? The poster on Twitter claims the giant sloth to be the 12th.
Good question!
Tarir should clearly be one. And Rata Sum....
What do you all think?
Who was responsible for getting Moto back into this story <3
Josh....?
Are there going to be normal destroyers in addition to the Death and Plantouched ones? I adore the new destroyers, but I'd like to see some older (orange) destroyers in future maps too again.
On another note, I love the voice acting! Especially Taimi's 'Spencer' line, it had me cracking up. ;)
I was joking this morning that we should add classic destroyers into the spawn mix in Ember Bay only during Wintersday. ;)
Really, though, we'll see what makes sense for maps as dictated by the needs of the continuing story.
Just wanted to give a shoutout to Link Hughes. Congrats on the release today! Already map completed Ember Bay ;)
Hey, hey! Thanks, my friend! Wow! You've already completed the Chalice of Tears?! O_O

Edited to remove spoiler. Thank you for pointing that out! =)
Just finished the final story instance: Damn, this is how I like my story instances! Not just the story which was amazing, the difficulty was great!
Oh, right, I need a question. Be honest. How many designers died of cuteness overload?
I was resuscitated, but it was a near thing. ;)
Great episode! What was your favorite part of the patch?
The ley line roller coaster. I don't have ley line gliding on Live, but it was a ton of fun to fly around on our Dev branch.
You are most welcome. I'm really glad we could get them in for you and everyone else who fondly remembers fallen guild members.
Love. It.
Whose idea was it to have the one asura in Rata Novus say "excuuuuuuuuse me," and why didn't she follow up with a proper asura replacement for "princess?"
Assuming this is a reference to the Legend of Zelda cartoon of old, you win cool points. :)
