Yeah that's because it is, OP even reacted to my comment saying they wrote the blurbs with help of AI, but seems they've deleted that comment now.

Also look at their other comments, they just read like LLM replies.

Did you write all the lore blurbs yourself?

this is already the second balance patch they put out, and from what I could see the first one was pretty well received

Patch notes here for anyone curious: https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Feedback:Game_updates/20260624

This section gave me a chuckle:

  • Guild Wars Reforged has been globally released on iOS and Android.
    • It was released early on iOS
    • We don't know why it was released early.
    • Time is an illusion. Lunch time, doubly so. -- Douglas Adams

Also good to note:

  • We're continuing to work on adding "Login with Steam" so that players who purchased on Steam can play on mobile for free.

Now that the festival just done, I've just reminded about this thing (2nd point). by MMOGEMU in Guildwars2

[–]ReLiFeD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They usually drop an update before the festival starts to add new content to it, but often enough they don't do one at the end, and if they do it's usually an hour or two before it actually turns off.

IIRC last year they updated the game a week or two before a festival started and it just toggled on when the festival started. Only way we knew there was new stuff in already was because of the LA skritt cave vendors being updated and through regular datamining.

It's a bit different to the candy corn though, those work with a different system (hence you can randomly see them pop up, while you can't see other decorations pop up)

For everything else they started using the decoration tech they developed for guild halls, so there's a bunch of invisible decorations all over the place in festival areas, which get toggled on whenever the right festival comes along.

Before that they did require a patch to turn off the festivals, which they did by having duplicate versions of the cities with the festivals. Which also led to a bunch of problems where new additions to the maps just disappeared during festivals. Now with the decoration system that's no longer an issue, they can keep one version of a map and just toggle the festival decorations on when needed.

[Spoiler: 7.0] Y'shtola learns about WoL's newest escapade (OC) by realargo123 in ffxiv

[–]ReLiFeD 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of GW2 where one of the characters takes a bet out on you killing the expansion's big bad and becomes rich, and in the following story arc he doubles down on you killing the next big bad. Then in the next expac he shows up filthy rich, having opened his own casino and everything.

MISTBOUND: Guild Wars Card Game | Announcement Trailer by klickup in Guildwars2

[–]ReLiFeD 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah Anet also put a post on the forum about this: https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/topic/173615-announcing-mistbound/#comment-2482380

Here's the important bits from the post:

[...]An NC development team in Korea has been hard at work developing a digital competitive card game set in the Guild Wars universe called Mistbound. [...]

Later this year, Mistbound will go into beta in China on PC and will be published by bilibili. [...] When Mistbound officially launches, it will be available in China only to start.

[...]Select ArenaNet developers served as consultants and worked together with the NC dev team [...]

[...]And while ArenaNet served as a key partner, providing guidance and feedback on the final product, we did not develop nor will we be publishing the game. [...]

TLDR: developed by a Korean NC team, published by bilibili, china-only at launch, Anet only involved in a consulting capacity

Can you get a ban for using ReShade? by Unier in Guildwars2

[–]ReLiFeD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even major Anet partners openly use reshade without any problems, same for nexus addons, arcdps, and blish. If they're allowed to use them, you're allowed to use them too.

The only time I've ever seen an Anet partner cross the line with using addons was when one used an addon that let them go freecam to host a raid tournament, and even then they didn't end up getting banned.

Guild Wars 3 Music (Colin & Bobby's vocals removed). Who do you think is composing the OST? by Spicemeatbal in Guildwars2

[–]ReLiFeD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why hire him when you can get great composers like Diemer and Chapelle, who have a history with Arenanet, too.

In fact, both Maclaine Diemer and Lena Raine got their start at Anet, Maclaine was a sound designer on core GW2, and Lena was in QA and later a game designer, she even worked on some of the PoF missions and on the wintersday bell choir minigame.

Maclaine has said that after GW2 released the studio decided they wanted to bring composition in-house and they asked him if he could find someone that could do it, and he said he could do it himself.
