Complete log

Gaile Gray: Titles are coming, but they are coming in conjunction with some other things.

Gaile Gray: I mean the titles tied to the various campaigns, the split titles that allow you to KoBD and so forth.

Gaile Gray: I think fansites are ONLY good for the Guild Wars economy.

Gaile Gray: I think fansites are wonderful In every aspect, from building a community to supporting it.

Gaile Gray: Yes, you will keep your KOBD "with the changes, you bet.

Gaile Gray: The changes will involve more options, more choices, and more fun things to try for.

Gaile Gray: The "mysterious black dot" on some people's maps is just a small glitch.

Gaile Gray: For those who finished the game early, it will remain, I guess for that character.

Gaile Gray: But it truly has no significance and it is not tied to any secret thing. :]

Gaile Gray: Yes. there is a reason to get materals for the recipe.

Gaile Gray: I'

Gaile Gray: I hesitate to mention what that reason is. but I would say that having atleast a small supply of ingredients

Gaile Gray: ... would be of benefit to you.

Gaile Gray: I would imagine that we will see Dragon Festival, or elements of It, again someday soon.

Gaile Gray: TY Alti

Gaile Gray: About HA: We will revert to 6v6 next week. After that...

Gaile Gray: We will continue to gather your thoughts, and will likely poll players about their opinions.

Gaile Gray: And after that, you will see a final decision, likely within the month.

Gaile Gray: I have asked about releasing or replacing hero pets, and about naming them as well.

Gaile Gray: In the short term that won't be possible. It is something that the designers will look at for the future, though.

Gaile Gray: Hmmm... You ask if the lucky fortune Improves your drops? What an Interesting question.

Gaile Gray: Let me ask. BRB

Gaile Gray: Back, and no, the drop rate does not Improve with a "Lucky" fortune.

Gaile Gray: You have all weekend to gather ingredients. I just thought you might want to have some on hand, that's all.

Gaile Gray: No urgency.

Gaile Gray: Yes, there are and will be more chances to get gamer points.

Gaile Gray: I can't say, but there will be. :)

Gaile Gray: I've been the idea of a miniature of your own character as a pet.

Gaile Gray: I don't know if that's doable, since people change their appearance, but I will ask.

Gaile Gray: I do notknow about the stones, sorry.

Gaile Gray: I can tell you legions about The Stones, but that's another topic for another day- ;)

Gaile Gray: Kill Count has been temporarily removed. as I recall.

Gaile Gray: Will it be permanently removed? That will depend on the feedback we get from players.

Gaile Gray: I don't imagine that customizing heroes to that fine a grain will be possible. Their skillset is selectable...

Gaile Gray: ... per mission, but blocking certain types at certain times Is a little too selective. I believe.

Gaile Gray: G

Gaile Gray: Glitch reports are best added to the fan forums, where they will be seen.

Gaile Gray: l am only one person, but dozens read the forums and can react more swiftly to glitch reports.

Gaile Gray: 12-person parties for DoA is an interesting idea, however...

Gaile Gray: Would that reduce the accomplishments of those who have completed it with 8?

Gaile Gray: I honestly don't know, I'm asking.

Gaile Gray: No divine aura in stores.

Gaile Gray: No temporary multi account slot Tell me. does any game have that?

Gaile Gray: There are many programs that allow in-game chat.

Gaile Gray: I don't know of any way to trade between accounts with any game with a single computer. Except...

Gaile Gray: You can enlist the help of a guild member or alliance friend.

Gaile Gray: We have not announced a release date for a new campaign.

Gaile Gray: No, you do NOT know when the next campaign will come out.

Gaile Gray: Any guesses on dates are just that, guesses!

Gaile Gray: Collector's Editions will not be in the on-line store, sorry.

Gaile Gray: Yes. the designers are working on pet controls, and should have them in the future.

Gaile Gray: We are currently testing some now.

Gaile Gray: With every CE, you make only so many copies. CE for Prophecies was not "discontinued" but...

Gaile Gray: ... It sold out. so getting a copy now is very difficult and pretty costly.

Gaile Gray: We are a "wholly owned subsidiary of NCsoft. We don't have a "contract" with them, and no one is...

Gaile Gray: ___ "desparately trying to renew" such a contract. What odd things people sometimes dream up! :)

Gaile Gray: Ok, sorry, I don't think: I can stay.

Gaile Gray: When someone starts spamming about a spelling error, that's sort of time for me to leave. :)

Gaile Gray: Yes, I know the muffin man. Do YOU know the muffin man?

Gaile Gray: I don't think we'll have in-town attacks, but you never know. :)

Gaile Gray: No one thought that that sweet little girl would be so likely to burn down half the town like she did.

Gaile Gray: See you guys soon. Have a nice event, and I'll be around later!

Gaile Gray: And if I get answers, I'll pop back later tonight.

Gaile Gray: Oh, sure, sorry, of course. A conga would be good.

Gaile Gray: And yes, there will be a block coming very soon. :)

Gaile Gray: Ok, click me or someone nearby, and hit spacebar to start.

Gaile Gray: Ready?

Gaile Gray: Mythty, that is far too generous! So you keep.

Gaile Gray: I'm going!

Gaile Gray: COme along!

Gaile Gray: TYZz.:)

Gaile Gray: Gutenacht. Good night. I'll probably see you later tonight and certainly tomorrow sometime!

Gaile Gray: I so hope you enjoy the event as much as we did making it :)

Gaile Gray: *hugs*
