Friends in GW2

hey hey emily was up i got 1 question for ye do we have the same friends on guild wars 2 as we did in guild wars one? please tell me we do or thats bites =( Dwgsong 23:36, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Please see Guild Wars 2. Everything we know is there, and everything that's not there is not known because ArenaNet isn't talking yet.

And fyi, if you're not continuing an existing discussion, please start a new section at the bottom. Thanks. -- ab.er.rant 02:17, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, Dwgsong :( Unfortunately I don't have any details on GW2 stuff yet. -- Emily Diehl (talk) 19:40, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations, also, on surviving another year of this nuthouse known as GWW. ;) Happy birthday, one of our favorite Anet people (in fact one of my favorite people in general) in the whole wide wiki. - Tanetris 09:02, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Awwwwww!!!! Thanks guys :) :) You all rock!!! I think I'm going to treat myself today by getting my urgent stuff done and then working on renders and stuff here the rest of the day. If there's anything super specific anyone wants, let me know. If not, I'll finish the male eles, get the HoM renders done, and then start knocking out more NPCs. -- Emily Diehl (talk) 18:31, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Plush Mandragors

You seem like the kind of person who might be interested in this. I have not seen anywhere else that is quite right for my idea. I would like to suggest that Arenanet find a way to sell plush versions of all the minipets as well as all the animals that rangers can use as pets. I'm not sure the Ruriks or Gwens will sell that well, but the others would likely go like hotcakes. I talked to some people in the game and they were very excited to buy several such things. It may appeal to females more, I'm not sure. But either way, I'm sure they would fly off the shelves....anyone for a stuffed Glint on top of their monitor? Somehow I think your programmers would be the first ones to fill up their offices with these things. lol Thanks!

Hiya :) I know that the topic of plushies has come up many times around the marketing area. I don't know where any of the merchandising discussions stand, but I'll pass your comments along to the folks that work on that. -- Emily Diehl (talk) 17:55, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Cute birdies

Nice birdies there :) my parents won't let me have a pet Q.Q Ninjas In The Sky 08:53, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks :) They're really cool pets. I recently got a new Pineapple Conure, but haven't had the time to add a pic of her to my page. I'll do that some night when I have some free time....she's really pretty. -- Emily Diehl (talk) 19:09, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Hiya!

How are you doing? Everything going fine with the GW2 dev process and other life going well too? Work is fun and free time is enjoyable?

I haven't been around for quite some time, still waiting for the PvE player nerf, but decided to show up for a while since a PvE balance update was promised recently. I actually happened to bump into an article discussing a similiar issue with WoW, it's found here if you are interested in reading it or giving a hint for other devs. ;)

Anyway, it's good to be back and good to 'talk' with old friends again. Hope to be satisfied with the update and sticking along longer. -- (gem / talk) 03:11, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Heya Gem! Nice to see ya back again! I hope the update yesterday solved some of the stuff that was bugging you. I know it made me switch up my necro's build for a change, so I'm liking the changes I've played with so far. Sorry I haven't replied earlier...work's been incredibly busy (still fun, though, so it balances). As always, thanks for the link. I'll send it over to design in my next email. Take care :) -- Emily Diehl (talk) 04:01, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Art Team

Hi! I was wondering if you knew a way for me to contact anyone in the art team? I'm not really sure if you're the right person to ask, but I made contact in-game with Linsey Murdock earlier and she suggested I'd look around the wiki. So I did, but couldn't find anyone from the art team! :( But I know that you've done quite a bit work on the armour renderings, and figured you'd be my best shot! -- Verhaze 18:53, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, when you say art team, what department were you looking for? We have a lot of different teams of artists (concept, environment/props, animation, characters, etc). I'm not positive if anyone beyond Matthew has a wiki page, though. Katy's got some stuff up on her page, but I'm not positive when she last updated. All of the artists are in serious GW2 mode, so they tend not to focus externally during work. There are a bunch going to PAX to sign prints, but that's about all I know of right now. Wish I could be more helpful :( -- Emily Diehl (talk) 03:57, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

I was originally looking for concept artists, sorry for not being more clear :) I'd like to ask some questions about their jobs, as I'm plotting to become a concept artist someday myself ^^ I'll check out the names you gave me, regardless of their activity. Any help is better than none, so thanks a load for what you already gave me! :) Oh, and I'd probably go to PAX if I wasn't from Norway ;) -- Verhaze 11:35, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Renders

Hi Emily!

I was just wondering, what do you use to make your renders with? Or is it some special "Anet program"? Thanks! -- Mini Me 12:54, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

This has been asked and answered before, it is a special in house programme that they can't release to the rest of us. --Lemming 16:02, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Is TexMod the only modding program for Guild Wars? and if it isn't, which program would you reccomend?

Ah, I see. I couldn't find it anywhere hence me asking.

Does anyone know a different program to create renders with? -- Mini Me 20:17, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Any 3D program would work, but it requires you to get the models and textures first. poke | talk 23:42, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

And seeing has how we only have access to the textures at best from Texmod... --Wolf 14:43, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

or browsing through gw.dat with gwdatbrowser. - Y0_ich_halt 15:33, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Forgot about that XD --Wolf 15:43, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Yep, as these guys said, I use a tool that was built in-house here. It's original purpose was to give artists and designers a way to preview models and animations without making everyone open up Maya/Max/other programs. Lucky for me, it doubles as a way to screen cap stuff for the web and the wiki :) -- Emily Diehl (talk) 03:49, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for responding :) I'll have to go look for another program then, heh. -- Mini Me 09:48, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Zun Tournament

Hey, I recently tried to make predictions, but couldn't log-in (due to me forgetting the PW). I then tried to retrieve my PW, but couldn't due to the necessity of my first and last name. So I have 3 questions:

• Why is your name required to retrieve your pw?
• Why when re-registering your email, does it not give you a temp PW?
• Is there anyway for me to re-register my account?

Thanks in advance. --Readem 07:23, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

first off you sound like a hacker. secondly just go to the suport page and make a ticket they will be able to help you better then Emily can. http://www.guildwars.com/support/default.php 75.165.124.46 23:04, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Heya guys! Sorry for the very late response on this. For a variety of reasons, Xunlai is a hard subject to give details on, and I apologize for that. A lot of these issues will be alleviated in the semi-near future, but I can't provide any more info on this right now :) Until then, if you encounter any issues, please contact support and they'll be able to help ya out on a case-by-case basis. -- Emily Diehl (talk) 00:24, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

My Fan Club

Glad to see you're my Number One Fan. Please don't stalk me. Oh, wait... I'm not a Devourer. You must be confused. LOL – josəph 22:08, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Hehe :) -- Emily Diehl (talk) 17:32, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Guild Page

Heya Emily! Just a heads up, your guild page is slated to be tagged inactive because it hasn't had any edits in 3 months. -- Wyn 19:39, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Eep, thanks Wyn! I'll take a look at it later today. -- Emily Diehl (talk) 17:32, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

But...but...but...why?

imo there are a few reasons for giving a char a Dread Mask...but...why on the Necro? Would you be keeping the armor in the pic or new armor to go with the Mask? (imo spend the money on a Crystal Flame Staff) :D -->213.202.173.40 17:41, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm just a sucker for the look of the mask...it looks like something out of Predator (mmm...predator) and it dyes up super red. I'm thinking I'll keep the Vabbian set with it since I worked my butt off to get it, but I may keep a secondary set to switch out with sometime. Thanks for pointing out that staff...it's super pretty dyed red. I'll see if I can part with my BMP weapons long enough to pick one up :) -- Emily Diehl (talk) 17:50, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
