> So no more strike missions? pity.
It doesn't say that your just putting words into the blog post clearly they wanted to talk about the new things in the chapter that haven't been in GW2 before like the response missions and the faction system how about waiting for the chapter 1 trailer. Also strikes would fall under replayable gameplay content so its like bundled with that.

The confer with Bangar achievement is that meant to be a daily achievement or weekly? Also if its weekly what was the reasoning behind adding it like this instead of daily?

Why they literally said in the road map blog from last week that the next update after Visions will be SAB not Visions will come with SAB?

I agree but I'd go further the whole of season 4 and I'm including episode 3 in that for the story that is. Just the things they did. Moving from one instance straight into another, two brilliant villians in my personal opinion Kralkatorrik was 10X better than Zhaitan and Mordremoth. Destroying the mists or damaging them really badly (side note Anet you need to address this). The first fight with Kralk but also the flying section in episode 6 just flying through the god realms on Aurenes back chasing the dragon. If I'm honest I expected when the second half of season 4 moved onto Kralk we'd lead up to an expansion dealing with him but to fight him in Living World would have been something unheard of even in season 3.
-
Just the concept of the living world. Just the idea of continuing the story outside of the expansions. To be honest I preferred the bi weekly releases because it really did feel like a TV show. No other game I have played has done this thing before. So basically story is my favourite thing in game.
-
Okay someone has to ask the WvW update i.e. alliances etc any news on that.

No it is coming with episode 2 they said it in the announcement from PAX.

No they release trailers a week before except for bound by bloods trailer
-
Because this is such a big feature is it possible we could get a chance to test these before they release?
-
How did you choose which characters were in this release and which weren't. By this I mean why was Kas and Jory who its nice to see back in the episode celebrating Kralks death but Canach or Caithe who were there through everything with Kralk weren't.

There will be story in next weeks update shown by the cutscene of Rytlock talking to that other charr guy. Also festivals go away this map is staying in the game for good. Its a prologue to the Icebrood Sage.

From what I've heard and seen it looks like a year long festival but thats just my opinion.

For season 5 onwards have the devs thought about adding a private test server type system using the PoF and HoT beta system to allow players the chance to test the content to avoid any possible update breaking bugs like the bug that released with Long Live the Lich?

A couple of notes: We'll be focusing on episode 6, so we can't go too much into detail about super spoilery future stuff. And if you have questions about the skyscale mount, hang onto them just a little while because we have a deep dive Guild Chat episode about the skyscale coming up on May 24. With that in mind, fire away with your questions!

I think you made a mistake you say 6 people but only listed 5. I'm sorry to nitpick but I'm confused if its 5 or 6 devs,

> The experience of a release day varies based on the teams but overall it's a day that starts early for a lot of people! Many developers focus on pushing the build through its pipeline so that it's available to players as soon as possible.

Will there be a dev celebration like with other releases.

Differences being GW has been a successful franchise since 2005. Wildstar bombed hard sadly and couldn't survive.

Raids normally come with living world episodes so thats probably why there is no specific mention of them as their own release. Same with Fractals.

Kralky destroying our army. Kralky continuing to eat the mists and the world becoming more upstable. I predict characters we have loved new and old could die next episode.

MMORPG said its the penultimate episode but redbull said its the finale thats where the confusion come from.

Wrong they did do this season 1 to season 2 and then HoT. This isn't new.

They did this for season 3 but season 2 they didn't announce that seeds of truth was the second to last even though it was. I expect an episode 6 and then into season 5. For episode 6 I expect a bigger loss for the player character and more deaths god I'm morbid.

Mike Z would be an obvious person because he is now Game Director depending on the topic the leader of the development team. Also if possible MO just because he started the great initiative of developer AMAs.

The dev addressed this when he said that balance is not addressed by the PvP team.

I highly doubt that after doing a new map every release since season 2 or parts of maps every release. They clearly wanted to focus on the new aspects of the Icebrood Saga such as the response missions and the faction system. Lets wait for the trailer for chapter 1.
