TheQuickFox.3826 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Yesterday I saw a bunch of ANet logos between the SFR players in WvW (I'm Surmia). I got killed near our StoneMist castle by them but quickly came back for revenge. In our chat, it became clear that there was a hidden achievement for killing them so everyone went bananas to get the achieve. By then, someone told me of the Twitch.tv livestream. I recorded a bit here: The audio in the background is the Twitch live audio of the devs while we were hammering them. Sry for the ganking. but I had to get this achieve lol. ![](https://i.imgur.com/izIia56.jpg "") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NameUnknown.6417 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I saw a ton of them when the warclaw first launched. I assumed they were there to make sure it was working properly. Didn't think that maybe they were there just to have fun! I always feel bad for them because they tend to get trolled pretty hard in map chat.

XenesisII.1540 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Devs you say, always loved this video. Other than that, I've seen devs in pve every once in a while, seen a few in rata sum over the years, and of course seen them in wvw every once in a while.

Aaralyna.3104 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I only saw a dev once on EU servers (2 day before layoffs). He / she was killing some mobs around Ogham Wilds in Caledon. Have never seen any dev next to this moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donari.5237 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I'm not sure I've ever seen a dev. Lots of ANet tags though. (Remember, a "developer" is a specific subset of the company employees, and for example Rubi and Gaile -- both of whom I've seen -- are/were not devs as such). The tags show up for events or just standing around in cities. Long ago my guild even had an ANet norn join us for a dungeon run (or we joined him, he was asking for help with the dungeon and we pounced). I have a screenie, he was all in white and red, but I can't find the shot right now since I have to go month by month through years of screens and it's almost time for Guild Chat :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I think most use 'Dev' as an all-encompassing title for ArenaNet employees. Rubi is great; she always in kind enough to engage in in-game chat and answer messages, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otto.5684 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I have not seen devs in sPvP before, but I assume you cannot tell, since tags are typically removed in sPvP. I have seen devs in open world PvE all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChronoPinoyX.7923 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 @"Rubi Bayer.8493" I guess it was a good thing you weren't there when we miserably failed Triple Trouble haha (thanks for getting my question answered in Guild Chat today by the way, and say thanks to Julia too, I defo want to see more about Gorrik) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figlilly.3907 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I once saw Gaile in the city of Tarir. I was too shy to say 'Hi' but I wish I had now. I read recently she has now left ArenaNet - I'm often last with the news - and that makes me sad. She seemed a lovely person and a great ambassador for the company. Hopefully she has moved on to another place which appreciates her warmth and her professionalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majic.4801 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 ArenaNet employees are quite common in-game, and it's not unusual to see them hanging out in various places now and then. But as Danikat pointed out, they must _want_ to be seen, and you never know when they might be lurking "off the radar". So behave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey.3179 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I saw Rubi once at the southeast tower in wvw. I came out of our spawn and saw her being attacked by someone from another server. Being the chivalrous, and handsome, asura that I am, i proceeded to defend the fair maiden. After defeating the scoundrel that dared to attack Queen Rubi, Queen Rubi said, "I am trying to let them kill me for the achievement." I got a good laugh out of that.

Irenio and I [livestreamed from EU worlds]( "livestreamed from EU worlds") just the other day. Some of our devs have been doing a weekly WvW livestream since February of 2018, and they play on a different world each week, alternating between NA and EU worlds. [Yesterday's livestream]( "Yesterday's livestream") was on Gunnar's Hold on the EU side. > > It might be a case of playing during different hours sometimes--time zones are all kinds of inconvenient. That said! I mentioned in a meeting yesterday that I want us to make sure that we are consistent about playing on EU worlds as well as NA worlds when we do stuff in game, so I hope seeing us in game isn't a rare occurrence for you in the future! I didn't know the devs were playing GH (I'm from sfr), I did not play WvW yesterday because I was busy helping my girl with the game, she is very new. I'm sad that I missed the fun.

ProtoGunner.4953 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I never saw a single developer in 7 years (vanilla/betas) and about 5k play time on European servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dediggefedde.4961 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 We once encountered some devs. Then it rained DCs and the game got buggy. ^^ felt a bit like revenge. ^^ Btw. ballistas were not ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
