I was really moved by the story. But I'm also terribly sad, having hoped there might be a secret Caithe had to tell as the final chaper approaches - something about her service to Aurene, some sort of hope after the needless sacrifice. Yet just as with Rytlock and Zafirah , Caithe is lost too.

I found this fascinating. Wouldn't Season 5 already be fleshed out by now with some eps deep in production?

I still harbour a sneaky hope that immediate followup Season 5 is a ruse - and they'll drop a surprise expansion on us in a couple of weeks.

Thank you for actually putting some baseline numbers to this!

After a tough past few weeks for Arenanet, it's great to hear the team's continued enthusiasism for the game moving forward. Just the kind of positive message we've been waiing for.

Had to miss the first week of Warclaw, so the grind was a little slower for me - though even as an irregular wvw'er I'm glad I've now got the mount.

One issue over time however will be that as the proportion of people in wvw with mounts rises, it becomes harder and harder to keep up with zergs for those on foot. So the sooner folk do this the better.

Thanks for the feedback.

So what kind of fees are people presently paying/ charging for a raid wing?

ArenaNet says it's relaxed about players selling raid spots ingame. But the market itself is a grey one, with little clarity for those interested in paying for a slot. So in the spirit of more transparency, some thoughts and answers for the following would be really great:

1. What's the current going rate for a pay-for slot per raid wing? Does it vary server to server, or wing to wing? Even boss to boss?

2. How do buyers know they're getting a good (or bad) deal? What should they watch out for - positives and negatives.

3. How much involvement should a pay-for raider expect on a run? Will they be expected to stay put and let others do the work? Or are they expected to get involved?

4. Are most raid achievements possible for pay-for raiders? Or are some or most achievements in fact off limits?

5. For those selling raid slots, what are the most frequent issues and complaints which crop up when it comes to managing your clients' expectations? (both them to you and you to them)

6. What happens if a pay-for raider gets ripped off, or receieves a poor service? What happens if the provider gets ripped off? (can that even happen?)

7. Should there be a way of rating a pay-for provider ingame, (eg like Trip Adviser, YouTube), and that rating being visible to others ?

My hope here is to demystify the pay-for raidslot process a bit - so please be frank and positive!

Jump to the US servers which is where folk tend to play. During festivals cities can be rammed still!

Thanks! This is a great resource to have back online

And here was me thinking the 'glitch' was that Zojja is back :'(

Very much enjoyed this episode for most of the reasons mapped out here and elsewhere: rich, immersive, and fun to return to, once you get over *that* event.

In particular, I like that there's so many achievement points to be had in the zone - with ~~176~~ 204? AP just from the Dragonsblood weapons. It's keeping me far more engaged than earlier maps - and will do for several weeks more I guess.

Very shoddy. A dozen people in the purple room right now, with no plate dropping

We've still had no explanation or apology for the Nullification fiasco. And now TWO discontinued runes for Wintersday which will set you back 750g to complete 2 of 10 achievements. That is until they run out, as there are no more available.

SORT IT OUT (please)

Had GW1 for almost 4 years before I got properly into it (hadn't worked out henchies on first try!) and am now loving it.

I do think the suggestion you can get 30/50 Hall of Monuments in 30 days (as suggested in the guide) is way optimisitc tho. Starting out from zero it's a slow process to accumulate the cash, skills and gear you need

Tried again tonight and was finally able to pick up the mist entangled items for both shoulders and head. Thanks for addressing!

Thanks but, er, nope....

I had just finished the gloves this morning (using the same character throughout.)

The very next step is the Steelburn purchase. None of my other characters have either bought (or indeed been able to buy) the mist-entangled item. I could see it on the vendor greyed out just a few days back. Now it is entirely missing from his inventory. It is bugged.

I have the same issue. Warmaster Steelburn no longer carries this item (I'm on the shoulders now).

When this happened previously (Red Steamed Dumplings - uncraftable; the few on TC quickly swallowed up; an extremely limited new supply and only during a short holiday) there was not one engagement by Anet, despite a similar number of comments to here.

So I'm also of the view that this is intended - and that it will happen again. I just don't understand why.

For those blithely claiming 'the market will sort this out' - it won't. Demand once again far exceeds supply.

Take a look at Red Steamed Dumplings, of which 500 were needed to get 25AP from Droobert back in February. Even today there are only enough on the TP for 80 players to complete this, at 44 silver minimum price. Total present cost? Around 300 gold. For the lucky ones.

Devs are making some meh choices it seems with these items: supply needs to improve, relatively, or the bulk of the player base is left frustrated.

For both the sigil and the dumplings, enabling player recipes (even with a relatively high mat cost) appears the obvious solution. That would also share the bounty more widely across the player base than those lucky enough to have hoarded these items at low prices.

More than a month since my last comment, and this is still broken on occasion. Joko disappears towards the end of the fight and never re-appears.

Please fix!

Same. Error code 1004

Had the same problem today soloing. First two times I quickly destroyed the first illusion - then no more spawned. Had to reset.

The third time I let the dialogue play out, then killed the illusion. That appeared to sort it (or I was lucky)

A nice surprise this morning when my home instance node dropped three shards. Thanks for sorting!
