===Complete Log===

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Yes. I read "third quarter" like you do Third Quarter begins July 1, ends September 30th

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I will go ask about the PvE-only skills. BRB

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I just talked to some skill guys, and they've already made up a bunch of the PvE only skills

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' So I can't get a deadline but it can't be long now :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' TY Plip

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' No, I don't have a list from which I can give skill examples. l'm sorry

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' James is in a meeting. so l cannot ask about the timeline for the SR changes.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' But I suspect that may be what the meeting is about )

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' As for Mesmers, you can tell from James' notes that they are very much on the team's minds.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' And I'd hope for some decisions to come along soon.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I cannot sign things, sorry.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Thanks, Queen! :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' And why we do not have all or nothing, I cannot say. It's an intriguing observation.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' But then, Rangers are lacking a certain element in connection with Beast Mastery... ;)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' The box of entries for the Design a Weapon Contest Is frighteningly huge. judging.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' It's nice to meet you tool :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' The screens are gorgeous! You can see them on the Birthday Page now!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I will ask about expanding parties to include more heroes.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Consider, trough, the interface Issues. 7 Hero menus!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' TY, MD

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I have not heard of plans to show DP and other effects on henchies, no. I can ask if that's coming.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I think that henchies are to heroes as pets are to nec minions.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' There is just a higher level of info, and management, with the former.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' This is, btw, a good thing. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' If you wrote to Community about a Support issue, like territory changes, that's why you have not heard.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Phone brb

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Back.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Wow, I did not know that chests only opened with death of opponents. Let me ask about that.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Hold on.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I just asked Andrew, and he opened a chest in battle, with monsters still alive, this week.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' So are you sure that they only open when the monsters are fully dead?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Sorry back.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I thought I could have a nice chat and I keep getting Interrupted. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' OH Appear?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I saw chests last night, they appeared when the monsters were present.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' You should write to Support, point out the ones with which you have Issues, It would be a help

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' And I find the idea that you want the ability to be "completely naked" a little alarming, fella. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I mean, come on, it's a computer game! :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I have heard that most uses for BalthFaction would be good, and I see your point.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' On the other hand, at some point, many things become less useful. Like XP. ;)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Plip, you should keep those, but thank you. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' As I mentioned a few minutes ago (but I appreciate you may only have just arrived)...

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' The skill team is working on the PvE-only skills. In fact they may be done and ready to head to testing.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' While that doesn't give us a hard deadline, it's an indication they are close!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I mean, what effort is there in dying?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' El Mejor, err... ? ;)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' in all honesty, I don't see SR returning to its former overpowered self.. ;)(

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' However, adjustments, and a more "elegant" solution will be found to the issues that it's change solved.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I have asked for more details about Hall of Monuments, Because I do not know how It Is intended to work.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' TY Jaina.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Marriage is fine, but I recommend a long courtship.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Oh wait... ;)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' In game marriage is probably not something that will be supported in GW.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' It is something that we would look at for GW2, of course.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' All player ideas will be considered, and weighted, and included, when possible.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Well, except that "naked guy's" idea. ;) ;)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Bowing game! Nice!!!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' You could roll, like, Undead skulls! :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' There are no helms for the birthday weekend. Only birthday gifts for 2-year-old chars.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Better still!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I just hope when we do minis, we do a rollerbettle. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' People like that character make me hit "mute." :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Thinking... I would say that kiting was intended. especially in HM. Tell me...

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Are you seeing the Heroes do LESS kiting in HM than normal?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Well, ok, they don't so much in normal, so...

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Heroes and Henchies would, in my mind, more logically kite in HM than normal.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Andrewill pass that to QA

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I believe that I read that yes, there will be bonuses or special qualities by race.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Not like Attributes. but like attributes or qualities. Maybe the Charr have different tendencies than...

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' ... the Asura. that sort of thing.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' We have not yet announced the professions for GW2.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' How could we do that? How could we limit the silver/gold cape to those who earned it?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' You see, it's a guild-wide Benefit. Do you mean that it would not go to those who joined after the tourney?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' No news on mounts in GW2

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Waking may come, in Guild Wars 2 I would like that, too

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' There will not be prizes for this weekend's rollerbeetle beyond the regular ones

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I don't know about marrying between species, and someone asked the interesting question of cross-species guilds

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I figure we'd think both were just fine, imo

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I would like to find a way to "make" people use trade, you bet!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Oh you silly. "Nerf Underworld." Play in Hard Mode! :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Thanks, I will tell the team you are enjoying HM

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Norm, are you sure about that?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Yes, Norm, of course I do (You can't spam, or all cap, silly!)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' TY Norm

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I'm sorry, but the Howitzer, the Bazooka, and the Light Saber have been rejected for GW2 ;)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' TY Kara :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I know, you wanted that spiffy light sabre more than anything! :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Yes, the CE for GW EN is still decidedly on the table. I do believe it will come to be, but have no official word on

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' it. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' However, I don't know that you'll need or use the cape. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' TY, Satella. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Guys, the whole rank spiking thing? I think it's great!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' So honestly, you can spike your hearts out -- I love the emotes. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I know that some people find rank spikes rude, I think they're cool

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Of course I'm not dead... that might make it a tad less friendly. :D

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I think the testing for ATS rolls up this Friday

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' We have no plans to add an auction house to Guild Wars. Perhaps it will be something for GW2, I don't know

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' As far as I know, HA is still being looked at, and there will likely be more changes in the next month or two

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Yes, players may want an easy way to sell and they may have that in Guild Wars 2 But from what I

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' we won't be adding an auction house to Guild Wars

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I think we'll have a guild wars cape design contest soon, yes!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I would be cool to see new designs based on GW:EN

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' TY Cow

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' What sorts of changes to HM are you asking about? You mention zones...??

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' No new god realms that I know about but I don't know all that's planned. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I know that players have asked for implementation of the Nightfall armour system into Proph and Factions

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Do you feel, as a player, that it would be fair to give those who did not purchase Nightfall that system?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Or would you prefer to keep it for those who own Nightfall??

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Oh. dear. I cannot confirm that the Rank 15 is Binky, no. That would be telling.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' However, if Binky were a Gerbil, and a spelling bee champion, mat would have a certain poetry,

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Answered that exact treasure hunter title some tine ago.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Yes, the birthday gifts go like this:

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Gifts are personal, not based on a game's release date.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' If you made a char on Day One, you get a gift. But whenever you made your char, at one year...

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' he or she will get a gift, and a year two, a gift from the second series.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' You're welcome for the 15K armour. That was nice, and a completely surprised, I think. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Yes, this girl will get a gift this weekend.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Most of mine are not a full 2 years old, so I get birthday gifts throughout the year.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' That is an excellent question: I will ask if GW:EN armour will be inscribable!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' They made an IPOD with the Guild Wars skin. In Europe. I never got one. *cry*

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' It's beautiful. *sob*

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Favourite Mini: Is probably the Bone Dragon. Rurik and Shiro are extra nice, too. And the Kirin!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' My Kirin is out now.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Not inscribable, sorry.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Insigniable

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' That thing you do. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Wait, wait, you guys: Hard Mode in UW is "Too EASY!?"

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' If you look at the 2nd Birthday banner, you have a hint of the b'day gifts. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I understand from the design team that there will be provisions to carry on with guilds/alliances in GW2.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Thanks, Glow. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' TY, Kristin.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Andrew was pointing out: There may be a Fissure of Woe in GW2. Who knows?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I there was, there may be FoW armour, again, we don't know yet

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I prefer Charr. Charr > about everything

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' No, NPC's, Guild Hall... things like that will not transfer to GW2.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' It's a whole new game. You didn't carry over your Rogue to D2. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Aww, thanks, Albireo.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I think that in GW:EN you will get new kinds of armour. If you want the others, you can visit those lands.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Thanks, Christina!

'''''Andrew Patrick:''''' Money will not transfer to GW2, no. It is Yeeeeeears later.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' No date for GW:EN, but we know it will be Third Quarter of this year, so not long!

'''''Andrew Patrick:''''' But mere would be some serious interest if it did ;)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' TY Furia.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Andrew is on my team. He's ok. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' (Some of the time. Other times, I'm not so sure.)

'''''Andrew Patrick:''''' heh

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Andrew is on the Community Team

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' We have more than one Andrew. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Andrew works with our fansites, and our guilds of the week and other stuff.

'''''Andrew Patrick:''''' But I was here first so :P

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Well, yes, you're Andrew the First. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' We honestly can NOT make that stuff. :(

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I don't know how guilds will carry over; maybe repurchase will not be necessary I cannot say.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I will ask about that "easier UW" thing. That just seems so wrong, in HM!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' YES. Even with the release of GW2, we will support Guild Wars, for certain.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Yes, i hope that we will someday have a full Quest Log.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' It helps us older folk with memory loss. :D:D

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I'm 108. I can be forgiven a little memory loss.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' No, there will be no new professions in GW:EN and no new char slots.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Yes, I play the game almost every day, on my own time.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' (Too busy during the day.)

'''''Andrew Patrick:''''' I can vouch for mat!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' And no one controls The Frog; I believe it could be said he more controls us!

'''''Andrew Patrick:''''' We are going to ask about the UW thing, fear not.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Andrew is on the Community Team; he does not do skill balancing. He finds a lot of bugs, though, because he plays a l

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' LOT

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' PVE only skills: No date yet

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' No such things as the Ultimate Collection, that's true. I can ask if we'll consider it, though.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Could you explain the Jennurs Horde bug??

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Please do not use all caps.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' We will continue to look at armour to see if it needs changing, yes.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' The Designers may decide to change it, I don't know about that at this time.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I JUST answered about armour.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Ok. Andrew will send that to QA, the BTD bug

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Oh, Cows, I see. Jennurs, that is?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' See, I killed the Harbingers and I don't have Masters, and maybe I had the bug!!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I need Masters. Hate when I don't get it. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I think you'll need a separate account for GW2, since it's a new game.

'''''Andrew Patrick:''''' Is the Jennurs Horde bug only in Hardmode, because I finished it with masters on Normal no
problem.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' If you guys are coming to PAX, we may be having a few "play with the Devs" matches. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Yes, GMs FTW. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' If you come to PAX, yes, you can join my team when we have a match there.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' No word on gender or face changes

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Yes, let's conga!!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Skill ideas: Fan Forums- we read them daily.

'''''Andrew Patrick:''''' PAX is the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle. Lots of fun :D

'''''Andrew Patrick:''''' ProIly... massive?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Come on, shy ones: Dance!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' No name changes in the near future but perhaps it's something that we can offer in the later future.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Post ideas, suggestions and even bugs on fan forums. We read every day!\

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Thanks for the visit guys -- talk to you soon, \ hope!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' And thanks for your kind words! I will pass mem along to the team!

'''''Andrew Patrick:''''' Later all, I will pass on your bugs to QA :)

'''''Andrew Patrick:''''' Thank you Furia
