GW2 Profession colors
Hello Stephane, the community is trying to determine profession templates for GWW2. Could you please tell us what colors ANet consideres related to each profession officially? Best would be HEX coded colors :D Thank you. Atmu 17:22, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
 * There is a debate over whether the color is more pink or a grayscale. If you wish it can be read here. -- 'Mai Yi ' {T    C}  17:26, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi there, we don't have exact RGB values as we're using a palette of colors. You can get a taste of the colors we're using from the profession wallpapers on the guildwars2.com website. The Elementalist is slightly different as it has 4 elements (Air=Light greenish blue; Earth: Ochre yellow with browns; Fire: Orange and yellow; Water: Light blue). And bear in mind we prefer pastel, paint-like colors too, as can be seen from many art pieces. Let me know if you need more details for you. --Stephane Lo Presti talk 18:48, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I think the wiki has already agreed on a color finally. The main problem was the thief. All the images were both gray and red. -- 'Mai Yi ' {T    C}  19:14, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure thing, there's no red in the thief theme though.--Stephane Lo Presti talk 19:15, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
 * There was a lot of talk over whether the thief was gray or blood orange or pink. The skill icons the wiki has have both gray and a little red-ish and the character creation screen was a gray background with pink text so they were not clear which was the main color. -- 'Mai Yi ' {T    C}  19:19, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

May I...
May I fix your links here? Kaisha  07:55, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure thing. It's a wiki so I don't think I have any say in the matter anyway. However I appreciate you pointing to them and thanks for the proposal ^^ --Stephane Lo Presti talk 17:16, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Your sub-pages are generally treated like your user page, where permission is needed before others tinker. --JonTheMon 17:26, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't say "needed", but rather good wiki-etiquette to not simply edit it ;) poke | talk 17:44, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
 * As everyone is aware, I'm still learning a lot about wikitalk (I like it but time is of essence). I really need to put internal links and not urls... so I'm actually going to take the lesson and do it myself. ^^ Please in the future feel free to comment about any wikicode mistake :) --Stephane Lo Presti talk 17:50, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I prefer to ask for permission to edit someone's user pages. Glad it's fixed though. :-) Kaisha  User Kaisha Sig.png 03:25, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot Kaisha for bringing this to my attention, I'm glad you did ^^ --Stephane Lo Presti talk 18:23, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

wallpapers
i know Emily was doing something with them to make them more assessable on the website i was just wondering if you picked that project back up or if it died when she left, thanks for any info you get.- Zesbeer 02:00, 26 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I haven't heard about that one. Can you please point me to a post she made about it so that I can read it? No guarantee that I'll have the time to follow up. --Stephane Lo Presti talk 16:39, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I believe the first section of User talk:Emily Diehl/Temp is the relevant one - Tanetris 17:15, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * yep exactly what i was talking about thanks Tanetris.-[[Image:User_Zesbeer_sig.png|link=User talk:Zesbeer‎]] Zesbeer 22:35, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * any news?-[[Image:User_Zesbeer_sig.png|link=User talk:Zesbeer‎]] Zesbeer 22:36, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Nope, it's not high on the priority list at the moment, due to more important stuff taking priority (and I don't mean specifically about these features), but it's still on the to-look-at list.--Stephane Lo Presti talk 18:34, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * thanks for the update!-[[Image:User_Zesbeer_sig.png|link=User talk:Zesbeer‎]] Zesbeer 23:26, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

MSN
you wouldn't happen to use msn messenger would you?--TahiriVeila 22:00, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi there, yes I do but I'm only sharing this with people I know. So if I know you, please let me know ^^--Stephane Lo Presti talk 22:04, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * He's asking because he has Regina's. Karate [[File:User Karate Jesus KJ for sig.png]] Jesus  22:11, 28 April 2011  (UTC)
 * What KJ said ^___^ Regina never talks to me anymore =(--TahiriVeila 22:15, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I have her on mine, but I don't bug her about work related things. If she wants to do some girl chat, that'd be cool. Kaisha  User Kaisha Sig.png 03:11, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Anyway, my MSN is errantventure@live.com feel free to add me if you want some chatter (game-related or otherwise)--TahiriVeila 19:45, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

gw2 colors
i don't know if this has been talked about on gw2 wiki or not but are there color themes for the professions/races? like how in gw1 mesmers have the purple color them rangers green ect.- Zesbeer 22:38, 28 May 2011 (UTC)


 * It's been asked before, but I'm not sure where. Yes we have color schemes for professions, but no exact color, and you can see those on the relevant pages on the guildwars2.com website. Races don't have specific colors but we sometimes use common color schemes (but it's not a guideline). --Stephane Lo Presti talk 18:34, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * ok thanks.-[[Image:User_Zesbeer_sig.png|link=User talk:Zesbeer‎]] Zesbeer 19:52, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

DPL troubles since update
Please see Guild_Wars_Wiki:Reporting_wiki_bugs. Thanks. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 19:45, 31 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for reporting it to me TEF. I'm watching the bugs page so the redirect did the job. --Stephane Lo Presti talk 20:51, 31 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Cool. As Farlo said on that page, thanks for responding so quickly; it's much appreciated. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 22:53, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Site update.
It didn't seem to fix the bad input error... Kaisha  02:40, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I guess "it" meant the "maintenance" :) It wasn't supposed to fix this specifically. I'm following up with our technical team.--Stephane Lo Presti talk 16:09, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It looks like some strings of text are blocked for security reasons. I don't have much more details to share but this is not something that can be changed. Sorry about that Kaisha!--Stephane Lo Presti talk 18:20, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Awe, I was hoping to add in my email. :-( Kaisha  User Kaisha Sig.png 19:39, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Was it the same kind of joke someone played on youtube by entering usernames (who were back then allowed) that are also used as commands and hyperlinks by youtube ? This one was hilarious, you would click Favorites in your youtube account and you would then be redirected to user Favorites'chanel (that wasnt me). Yseron - 83.196.92.36 18:30, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Update
Curious, what's the updates on? Kaisha  20:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Hopefully fixing the dpl stuff. -- Konig / talk 21:33, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * No it's not about DPL, it's an attempt to improve the performance of the wiki. We're still working on solving the DPL issues. --Stephane Lo Presti talk 21:55, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

About the official blog
Wasn't sure who to ask, but since you're the community manager I thought that you might know. I was just wondering why comments aren't allowed on the Anet blog. Seems rather backwards to me, since the internet is a communications platform, not a broadcast one. Interaction is something that should be encouraged, not avoided. It's simply the nature of the platform, and to deny it is to deny the reality of the technology and what it can do. Is Anet so afraid of hearing what players really have to say about their posts that they won't even let them speak it? Would allowing comments and responses really be so bad? And don't say it's because you can't moderate them, I've been a reader of a sizable blog for many years now - http://www.techdirt.com - that has no moderators and no registration wall, but has virtually no spam or flaming at all and over 750,000 RSS subscribers. And that doesn't include other readers. So it most definitely can be done. Which means it could be done with the Anet blog as well, if Anet chooses to try. Nathe  13:15, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * i don't think anet wants to have comments that are un-moderated it just seems like something they would rather avoid. and there are a lot of trolls on here for example that anet would have to deal with.-[[Image:User_Zesbeer_sig.png|link=User talk:Zesbeer‎]] Zesbeer 16:56, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I understand, but at least at Techdirt, the trolls are usually handled quite well by the community of commenters there, so it's definitely possible and does work. It's just letting people comment on the Anet blog would be a nice way of being a more open company and less corporate. User_Nathe_iconR.png Nathe  00:06, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Tech Request
There is a new request for an extension over at GWW:TECH that would be nice if it could be addressed soon. Thanks! --JonTheMon 02:36, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I hope it's addressed, please. I've seen this spamwar that's happening tonight on here and well It reminds me of a spamwar that happened on guildwiki as well. Neither Gw2w nor this wiki needs to be hit with a lot of spam. I will say here that this new request will help a lot. Kaisha  User Kaisha Sig.png 06:55, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I've added that to the todo list and will try to get this done asap, but I'm not sure when that will be. I'll keep you updated. --Stephane Lo Presti talk 16:26, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

GW Support forums
Could you chime in on our discussion about whether to lock our Feedback:Bug reports? Someone has proposed that we redirect people to the official support forums and prevent people from posting bug reports on the wiki. That seems best for players/contributors, unless the QA (or dev) teams still review the subpages here (we haven't seen an official ANet response in ages, perhaps a year or longer). If you have time, could you ask whether the technical teams have an opinion? Thanks much. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 05:27, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi TEF, I'm preparing a post about the impact of the Guild Wars Support Forums on various wikipages, including the one you mention. I'm hoping to have ready for everyone to read today or tomorrow, crossing fingers that we can fix DPL quickly. --Stephane Lo Presti talk 16:36, 15 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Super. Thanks for the quick response (esp. since I'm sure you were involved in getting wiki back to normal this Seattle AM). Let us know how we can help. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 17:51, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Funny how it took 6 years for GW to have support forums. You'd think that would have been a self-evident necessity... User_Nathe_iconR.png Nathe  14:10, 28 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Just to close this discussion, a reminder about the message I posted: Guild Wars Wikis and the Support Forums --Stephane Lo Presti talk 18:47, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Arg! Thanks for fixing the internal link TEF ^^ --Stephane Lo Presti talk 18:58, 28 June 2011 (UTC)


 * np :-)


 * I've added a note at Feedback talk:Bug reports asking for final comments before archiving all the currently listed bugs (and finishing the various janitorial clean-up tasks). Do you have any sense if QA wants to take a final pass at anything before they get archived? Some of the bugs are still present in the game and I'm sure some will get re-posted at the forums (but others are less common or less annoying and so might not get reported soon). — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 19:19, 28 June 2011 (UTC)


 * The page Feedback:Bug reports should stay there (I'm not even sure that it needs to be closed, this way people who have them in their bookmarks can be made aware of the change) and last I talked to the QA team they're aware of the page. Thanks! --Stephane Lo Presti talk 19:23, 28 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I guess you missed my question. Why did it take six years for Anet to have a support forum? You'd think it would have helped to have it from the beginning, that it would have been something of, as I said above, a self-evident necessity. User_Nathe_iconR.png Nathe  16:09, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Map images request
As I noted on Andrew's page, we are well under way in creating Interactive Maps for the game zones on the wiki. It has already begun in smaller zones, but as we approach doing towns, outposts, dungeons, etc, the images we can capture from the game through screenshots and Texmod can be quite small and fairly pixelated when scaled up. I'm just repeating myself, hoping and praying that it gets heard by someone at A-Net, but I was wondering if there was any chance that higher resolution maps could be released (or whichever terminology you prefer) to the GWW. This would be an amazing help with the project, and the new maps would no doubt have uses in a ton of other places. Thanks for your time, and I look forward to hearing back soon. ~Farlo Talk 08:47, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi, I'll follow up on this with the Live Team and will let you know if this is possible. --Stephane Lo Presti talk 15:58, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much for the quick reply, especially after the holiday weekend. Let them know it's for a good cause :P ~FarloUser Farlo Triad.png Talk 21:01, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

gwb image request
would it be possible to get a gw beyond logo if there is one?- Zesbeer 16:39, 12 July 2011 (UTC)


 * For use on the main page of the wiki (e.g. to bring Beyond up to the same status as P/F/NF/EotN). — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 17:04, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
 * yep that's why i am asking.-[[Image:User_Zesbeer_sig.png|link=User talk:Zesbeer‎]] Zesbeer 01:57, 13 July 2011 (UTC)


 * We don't have one for the moment. If we manage to make one at some point, I'll make sure that you get it. --Stephane Lo Presti talk 16:39, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * thanks Stephane.-[[Image:User_Zesbeer_sig.png|link=User talk:Zesbeer‎]] Zesbeer 16:49, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
