“One Path Ends” devs here – ask us anything!

Posted: 25 Jul 2017 02:00 PM PDT

Hi all,

Today we're happy to launch the season finale, "One Path Ends", along with its new open-world zone, the new Fractal "Shattered Observatory", and two new legendary weapons.

As the season finale, today's episode is a conclusion and also a lead-in to what comes next. Our goal was to do it in a meaningful way, not with a simple cliffhanger that'd get spoiled as soon as we announced the next expansion. I can't say more without revealing too much, but I love it that we get to make episodes like this and tell stories like this. I want to congratulate the episode six team for the care and crafting that went into getting it just right, especially in getting the moments just right.

Here's who's with us today.

From the Living World team – Andy McLeod, Alina Chadwick, Angel McCoy, Joe Kimmes, Kevin Millard, Linsey Murdock, Robert Land, Taylor Southerland

From the Fractals team – Cameron Rich

From the engine team – Ester Sauter, Jon Olson

From the comms team – Gaile Gray, Lis Cardy

This'll be a bit of an unusual AMA, since it's hard to talk about today's episode without spoiling it, and we have an announcement coming soon that will answer most of your other questions. Even if we can't say much, this is release day, and it's our tradition to hang out together on release days, so let's hang out.

Edit: We have a few devs still answering but let's officially wrap up here. Thank you all for joining us today, and we'll see you again soon!

PSA - Don't see it in patch notes, but Linsey's updates to Materials Storage went through.

Posted: 25 Jul 2017 11:14 AM PDT

Linsey posted some time ago that she wanted to update material storage ( see here ) : https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/596e7k/whats_missing_from_material_storage/

Latest update was that it was still a ways off ( see here : )

https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/6gd2iy/update_to_linsey_murdocks_material_storage_side/

However, it's gone live today, with this AM's patch.

Thanks Linsey for all your hard work on this project. Greatly appreciated!

There are too many WvW pips

Posted: 25 Jul 2017 07:41 AM PDT

Core Problem

As several people posted, completing the full track with absolute garbage rank, dead last constantly, 1 pip/tick, would take approx 120 hours.

Let's stop and think about that for a moment. Do you want your brand new friend coming in to feel he or she has a chance at finishing a full week, even if the matchup is heavily against your server? Outnumbered aside, the core analysis should be based on the absolute worst case. This worst case should be at least three times better, or 40 hrs at worst, and not 120.

Repeatability

A related issue is the effort for repeating the track once it is done. If we do greatly lessen the total number of pips, then we'd like to still motivate vets to repeat diamond. (Aside: some PvP numbers -- repeating last chest is 20g. In total, PvP automated tournaments hand out up to 575g, three times a day, and if 32 teams sign up for monthly, then 13,000g is given out across all 160 participants. This isn't even counting side rewards like mystic coins). I'm not sure what the rewards should be, but a pure gold addition wouldn't hurt.

Time

We all have lives. Tickets are already gated -- 2475 for backpiece at 175 a week is over fourteen weeks. They might add more things to get with tickets, which is fine. We run a slew of activities already --weekly guild missions, dailies, perhaps LS3 dailies, daily fractals, raids, some dungeons or world bosses. Maybe PvP, maybe WvW. The reward per time spent is a lot higher in other activities. The struggle to finish the track in a week, to not further extend the timegate, is real.

I think ANet wants well-rounded players who participate a bit in everything. Well, I think there are too many pips.

FYI: combine all 4 sentient consumers to get "Gleam of Sentience"

Posted: 25 Jul 2017 12:45 PM PDT

When you combine the Sentient Aberration, Anomaly, Oddity, and Singularity, you get a new item called "Gleam of Sentience". It basically opens a vendor window that functions the same as all 4 sentient consumers. You purchase the sentient seed from this vendor window for 1000 unbound magic. The Gleam of Sentience basically saves you 3 bank spaces.

edit: I already bought the sentient seed before I took the picture http://imgur.com/a/zavi2

Spoiler: Final Instance was a bit Odd

Posted: 25 Jul 2017 03:19 PM PDT

So, anyone else find the final instance a bit weird? It was awesome to see Livia finally take down the last Mursaat, and yay Lazarus is dead I guess, but why did anet have it happen in Orr? In Abaddon's Reliquary. A place which i'm guessing has been sealed since he lost his war and has been underwater for over 250 years. And yet, in the final chamber there's a perfectly laid out ritual for reviving Lazarus?

IIRC there wasn't really any Abaddon related artifacts in there at all, which again is weird since it's his reliquary. Feels like anet shoehorned in Lazarus' death and Livia just to stomp down a loose thread before expansion 2. Thoughts?

Edit 1: Trying to work out how to black out spoilery bits

Edit 2: Failing to work it out

With all the excitement going around with ep 6 and a possible xpac reveal, please remember to be mindful of spoilers.

Posted: 25 Jul 2017 04:40 AM PDT

That goes both here and in-game. This should obviously apply to leaks too.

Spoiler tags are here for a reason and try to keep titles as spoiler-free as possible. And please keep them out of map chat (some guilds may want them out of guild chat too)! A lot of people will still be playing after you finish episode 6, or be busy for a few days before they can play, or not want to know about leaks, etc.

Tldr; be considerate about spoiling others please. Use spoiler tags/pms/whispers if nessecary.
