| Achievement guide for Whisper in the dark is done! Posted: 22 Nov 2019 10:36 AM PST Hi guys, There is Yara and I have just finished dulfy like guide for Whisper in the dark achievements: https://www.gw2fans.net/inpage/whisper-in-the-dark-achievements/ Friend of mine Bogy has to correct my grammar and will add list of achievements with links but other than that it is complete. I still work hard on that website and still struggle with web programming but I hope I made some progress. I want to be absolutely honest with you guys so there are some proclamations: - I know you would love to have it added on wiki instead of another site but i have already payed for domain, web-hosting and web programming schema. If you want to add any of my content on wiki I have no problem with it.
- You can notice that on left site there is window with "Advertisement". Not gonna lie I would love to add one advertisement here to make some money for paying hosting, Photoshop and Wondershare filmora which I use.
- My plans for future - work on web and ytb channel to become partner of anet and ytb.
And that is all for today. Of course all feedback positive/negative is welcome. Sincerely Yara submitted by /u/Yarabaczek [link] [comments] |

| Guild Chat: Episode 1 - FULL summary Posted: 23 Nov 2019 07:15 AM PST Hello, I've made some notes for our wiki and decided to share it here with all of you, sorted by topics (some of the topics overlap, though, like Lore and Q&A). The thread by u/buildaworld contained only some answered questions, but this one goes into details about pretty much everything they've said. Note: I suck a bit at Reddit formatting, so forgive me that. Lore Boneskinner was originally called Wendigo Norn culture, Jhavi - again more important in the future Braham - he's growing out of his emo phase, but it is not complete yet Rytlock & Crecia - Asking who is Ryland as a person What happened offscreen in EP1 - will come into play later When Jormag speaks through the fraenir, Debra (Jormag) and Fred's (Fraenir) voices are mixed This season, hidden agendas everywhere: Jormag, Bangar, maybe even Ryland, others that we don't know yet Jormag's way: "getting what Jormag wants is to persuade you that you should want it too", not by force Meta event: some of the battles are loops created by the Fraenir, if you repeat them, some characters will be like "Wait, did we do this already...?" Jormag whispering to keep you "doing your things, staying in this little corner" When doing some of the events outside your story, the npcs (Marjory, Braham,...) will be replaced by a different group (new tech!) who also experience time loop Braham fights something that resembles his dad, Jory fights Belinda > messed her pretty big Marjory + Kas - more this season, they both more matured, changed: they wanna synthesize these changes with the gameplay, not just show it The unknown whispers confirmed to be Jormag's "Almorra's" call by Jormag: didn't want the sound make too obvious, added some hints (static, disruptions), "zombie Almorra using the comm, Jormag controlling the hands Essence manipulation: connected to the spirits, kinda haunting, disturbing Asura who tells you about it: feels like he went to dark lengths to manipulate the essence, killing creatures and putting their essence into the pillars, you absorb it When you see the Boneskinner stalking you, and then it disappeares, it disappears only for you. Other players may still see it Jormag is still struggling a bit with the power to control bodies, that's why the fraenir is moving the way it does Q&A from players Frost: they don't want to hinder gameplay but still want the player to feel claustrophobic, anxious, not to completely see where the enemies are coming from, there is special audio associated with the freezing effect Will strike mission keep getting more difficult? Boneskinner is the hardest, it doesn't have wipe mechanics but things will progressively gets harder if you dont coordinate/do mechanics Will the map keep expanding? Yes, in ep2. Same as Dry Top. If you complete the map now, you get the complete reward. If you wait for the map to expand, you'll have to do the new things as well Essence manipulation mastery increase - yes, in ep2. After that, they don't know yet why can't you mount in Darkrime Dvelves? Reducing clutter so that players do not stand over Almorra. How Svanir got their raptors? Did they purchase PoF? They didn't purchase it. Jormag's possibly lured, persuaded some mounts so they would want to be ridden by Sons of Svanir. Some of them had mounts before they defected. It looks cool. Do Jormag minions conserve free will? Tom: "Great question" "what you mean by free will?" Influence of Jormag: sometimes you don't notice Jormag is influencing your thinking, sometimes you can hear Jormag's voice in your head saying things (reasons why this vary in next ep) tricky part: you may feel it is your free will, "Absolutely arguable that Jormag is actually acting always in good faith in terms what Jormag wants in the world." Elder Dragons tend not to care for the mortals (generally speaking), except Aurene, and also not entirely true for Jormag as well Key question: Who is Jormag and what is Jormag doing. - Will we see more of the Boneskinner later? Yes.
General stuff Showed Aurene and Joko Funko Pops, coming in January 2020 Episode was shorter - hopefully shorter times between eps, more frequent releases Fraenir - voiced by Fred Tatasciore This season: suspence, discovering secrets, full significance of things to appear later Episode 1 - Setting questions, tone Some of the golden path storytelling (main story) is in the open world During open world story, your Braham shows to other players as a raven More player specific dialogue in the next ep Behind the scenes Chapter 1 - Audio embed got scared by the jumpscare Boneskinner sound design: Toothbrush's vibration and box lid = "Perfect" video 1, video 2 Favorite things to work on: Tom: being a part of the process of creating how the characters are manipulated by Jormag, watching writers coming up how Jormag's influence manifests itself; being in VO sessions with Debra (Jormag), Fred (Fraenir), Courtney (Almorra) Clayton: ch1 - setting the tone, flow, creepiness progression; the hunger collection + Samantha; Asgeir's Legacy; watching the team work on the map Joseph: "lame answer but everything" Jessica: mocap for the trailer Chelsey: working on the boneskinner's sounds - What you struggled with when creating the episode?
Clayton: Adding horror elements Tom: not having all tools for storyteling as in linear games Joseph: boneskinner chitter was map wide at 1st Making of the trailer: Horizon Zero Dawn, Vikings (main inspiration for Jessica) 1:26:36 - final cinematic (Rubi punning: "It's chilling) intent: "walking away with maybe Jormag is right?" Chris: music conveying that Jormag is right: "everything's okay, everything's cool" Chelsey's cat provided some voice for the cutscene video Chris's friend's dog provided some teeth clicking video Easter Egg: there's a hidden message in the Jormag/Fraenir speech: https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/e0fu4s/fraenir_of_jormags_hidden_message_that_was/ When Jormag says "I want to help her", Fraenir's voice says "I want her" submitted by /u/SimeAi [link] [comments] |
| Fraenir of Jormag's Hidden Message That Was Indicated by Chelsey Shuder in the end of yesterday's Guild Chat Posted: 23 Nov 2019 01:45 AM PST |
| Dungeons had tokens, Raids have shards/crystals. Strike Missions have.. no farmable rewards? Only RNG? Posted: 22 Nov 2019 12:50 PM PST Not 'blues and greens' but a basic earnable currency + a vendor selling unique skins, items and gear. I won't set my hope on a tiny chance to get a random drop that I never wanted. submitted by /u/buildaworld [link] [comments] |
| Guild Chat: Episode 1 - Summary Posted: 22 Nov 2019 04:16 PM PST Thanks to AgentMoore for this summary in the forums. Still more information to come from the general Guild Chat.
"They answered some of the stuff asked in this thread, so here's what I caught: - Was this being probably the shortest LW story a deliberate design decision? Is this how short all stories will be going forward?
Future stories have a chance to be short so that they can put things out faster, but it's not for sure that all of them will be as short as this. - Though the frost looks great, it makes the action difficult to see; was this considered with the mechanic and intentional?
Yes, it was considered and intentional. Devs also stated that the entire screen was clouded in addition to the frosty border, and that what we have now is the "toned down" version. They seemed to hesitate before answering, so it's possible the frost effect is under review or not final. - Can we expect more Boneskinner stuff later in the Saga?
Yes. The Boneskinner will be back in a strike mission. They say that it will have a phased fight where not following the mechanic will punish you, but not become unbeatable. - Will the map be expanded with future releases?
Yes. They are doing exactly what they did with Dry Top.
- Does Jormag minions conserve free will?
Yes and no. Jormag tries to persuade people to "want what it wants", so some of the minions are willing and some don't realize they're being influenced. - Why can you not use mounts in Darkrime Delves?
Finding a certain character in this area happens in the open world, and they didn't want Raptor mounts jumping all over it. - Did the guy doing the ending cutscene (convo with Jormag) get a raise?
There were two voice actors working together on the cutscene as well as a number of cinematic artists who received glowing praise from the devs in the guild chat. Evidently, they also received waffles at the office to celebrate the release. - How Svanir got their raptors? Have they purchased PoF?
The devs laughed at this one and then said the Svanir stole PoF because they're bad guys. Then they added that 'it looks cool'. Finally, they posited that people lured by Jormag also happened to own mounts.
- In the map you see blue ghosts next to trees that disappear when you get close to them. What's the story behind them?
It was not explained specifically what that is, but it was explained that they intend to have more things in the game like it that you can see, but not other players who haven't reached your progress in the story yet. - Why in the episode does it say Braham abandoned his people when the story before that gave no indication that he did such a thing?
Devs didn't answer this, but Braham himself admits it to Ryland in the prologue when he's drunk. Ryland is shocked, telling Braham that his guild is his warband and shaming him for abandoning them. - What was the most difficult thing you struggled with in Whisper in the Dark?
Horror elements in an MMO. They felt horror worked better in a weaponless situation or in a single-player where you can be made to feel alone. They were proud of the jumpscare Icebrood in the keep, however. - How will expanding Bjora Marches interact with map completion, for those who have already mapped the current area?
If you complete the map now, you get the completion reward. If you wait for the map to expand, you'll need to find all the expanded places to get the reward. You do not lose the reward when the map expands if you complete it before it does. submitted by /u/buildaworld [link] [comments] |

| PSA: If you want to raid as DPS be sure to have only 1k toughness Posted: 23 Nov 2019 07:54 AM PST If you want to raid as DPS be sure to have only 1k toughness because 1005 toughness is actually a reasonable ammount of toughness on tank if there are no toughness boosting classes in sqaud. submitted by /u/myshnie [link] [comments] |
| Weird graphic glitch in Bjora Marches Posted: 23 Nov 2019 07:39 AM PST |
| Let's talk about St-ild Wars 2 Posted: 22 Nov 2019 08:32 AM PST |
| Missing something like volatile or unbound magic for Season 5! Posted: 23 Nov 2019 04:12 AM PST Previous seasons had their own currency, like unbound magic for S3 and volatile magic for S4.
On Bjora Marches we just get a map currency which additionaly behaves like a material (250 stacks).
This makes farming events on the new map somehow less appealing, because you only get xp and simple item.
That's why for maxing out the masteries i went back to Grothmar
(On Grothmar Valley we got at least some volatile magic)
So i wonder: Will we get something like a season currency for the Icebrood Saga as well? edit: one important thing is having a reason to stop and do events while passing them, because 150 karma and an a blue item is just meh. currently i'd mostly ignore events and rush through with dailies, chests and frost shards. submitted by /u/nakno3 [link] [comments] |
