So it makes absolutely no sense that Jormag would be female. It's change for the sake of diversity/pandering. Thus the whole bringing up the LGBT thing.

The comma in that sentence prevents "her" from referring to anyone but Aurene . Gorrik is telling you to ask Aurene about dragon identities.

She is in reference to Aurene, not Jormag.

I did click the link in the OP. That red text is just Gorrik commenting on why Taimi used "they" instead of "he" since they'd started learning more about how Dragons present themselves. He's commenting on how they don't know whether Jormag really presents as male or not. The tweet is a better source, but I wish he'd elaborated more.

I really wanted them to do something with Jennah and Logan. Well, something other than randomly ending things. LOL

I think I'm missing some information somewhere. Can you link me to where the Devs stated Jormag is non-binary and/or to where Jormag is now referred to as "her?" It's not in the link you gave already.

> conflagration also means "violent political revolution" in some languages, it is an allusion: revolts that spread like wildfire. For some reason i dont know the second meaning has fallen into disuse / oblivion in English. In portuguese/spanish that word(conflagração) is more used in the sense of spreaded revolt than literal wildfire. .. the word orign is from latin conflagratio/confl-(conflict).
I knew that was another usage, but it just didn't seem to fit in with what we know about Primordus. Maybe if it pops up in this new story, that definition will make more sense in reference to Primordus.
-
The snippet describing Primordus is bugging the heck out of me. The terms "fire" and "conflagration" are synonyms. Why are those the two words used to describe that particular Dragon?
-
I voted for female presenting, because it's been confirmed that Jormag's VA is a woman.
-
I noticed a few topics on this that are from 2019, but wasn't sure which to bump.
Several events in Lake Doric seem to be bugged in various ways. Several are stalled and some won't start at all. This is preventing map progress and achievement completion. I realize this has been a chaotic year for Anet, but I was hoping someone could let us know if these bugs are being worked on? If it'll be a while before they're fixed, that's understandable and I can play on another map. If they might be fixed soon, then I'll know to keep checking instead of waiting on that map. Thanks for any help given!

I noticed that too. My guess was that he intentionally used "father" as a dig and Rytlock and his relationship with Rox & The Olmakhan.

Yes, you need an account. You can link it to FB, if that helps.

I think they mean that you can only harvest the ones you plant ONE time. Then you have to make new seeds to plant again.

It would be awesome if they let us build a pantry for all the food stuff. That MIGHT give them more room in the normal material storage too. (not sure if they can remove items or replace then with new things though)
-
So, with Cooking 500 rolling out today, we probably need a single thread for all the discussions. For my post, I'll list some pros and cons I've noticed so far.
Pros:
- Cooking seems a bit more useful now
- The additions to the home instance are neat looking, especially that oven
- Garden Plots are more useful now
- Only a small time gate
- Seems to be a great precursor to adding other professions to your Home Instance or possibly a test for player housing
Cons:
- Apparently, only your Chef can see the kitchen and none of your other toons
- There is no Chef in the Home Instance (that I'm aware of), so you have to leave every time you need something sold by a Grandmaster.
- Far too many items are needed that you can NOT deposit into your storage, so you need a lot of bag room
Feel free to add your thoughts too!

Thank you for fixing me!

I've got that big map selection square stuck on my screen. Odd, since I was queued for Stronghold.
-
One of our guys runs Invisible because he hates the server we're paired with and doesn't want to play with them. Even makes comments about letting T3 things get capped just to spite them. It's really funny, in a really pathetic kind of way.
-
I was excited for the Outfit until someone pointed out that it's probably a T-Shirt Outfit like the Bubble Tea thing. =(
-
I just realized how much that dress reminds me of Danika from the Kurzick area.
-
I think it looks really pretty and reminds me of the type of clothing Mesmers wore in Guild Wars 1.

In my opinion*, the reason they need to be updated is because the newer things are better made than older ones. Newer hairs, armors, and weapons are all of better quality than the original stuff. I think everything should be brought up to the newer standards.
* The opinion is that things should be more equal, it's fact that newer items are able to be of higher quality.
-
I still want that Tiger skin that was data-mined before they finally released any of the mounts. I don't care which mount gets it either. lol
-
I agree with OP. At the very least, I'd like the team to go back to the older Armor, hair, and weapon skins and bring them up to the quality of the newer items. It's obvious the team has made great strides in the quality of their work and I'd love that to carry over to older things.

> I suspect this is why they don't announce them all at once. If we all knew what was coming and when it would be easier for players to plan ahead and for some people that would mean not buying things earlier on so they can save their gems for later, whereas if they don't have that information they might buy the earlier item and then buy more gems to get the later, more desirable ones too.
>
> It won't work like that for everyone of course. Some people will buy the earlier stuff and then skip later items even if they want them more because they can't afford it, some will end up not buying anything because they're always holding out for something better, and some would buy everything they want regardless. But that's marketing for you, it doesn't have to work on everyone, it just has to get some people to spend more than they'd otherwise want to.
You're most likely correct, but I still wish for the other way. LOL

I like your idea. At the very least, I'd kill for a voice slider.
