After Winds of Change, there will be "things people are going to be surprised by" that the Live Team will not currently discuss. Part 3 was fun, good ending to that story arc. Now that we're past that, any chance you can start talking about this? 70.92.10.102 01:14, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

tad bit newer than bristles' suggestion and I cant find the place its from either (bleh, cant remember where I saw it first

)

Bristlebane · Jul 10, 2014, 05:19 PM // 17:19

Maybe the surprise was the live team leaving or quitting?

**cosyfiep** · Jul 10, 2014, 05:23 PM // 17:23

if my faulty memory can be trusted....it was something about the updates for halloween and such (cant find where I first found that quote)...but yeah, the surprise is on us, there would be no more updates

the interview is already prepared and sent, i can breathe again!

I hope we have good news (or at least not bad news). As soon as i know anything i'll let you know.

Thank you all for the feedback and for the hard work you have done preparing the questions!

Too bad we are late to sent a question about this absurdity:

https://forum.guildwars.com/forum/fo...s-on-July-16th

So Threads will not be visible unless they answer your question (i guess). We are getting just a refined tutorial from now on.

Can't get any worse.

It's a matter of time before they just pull the plug.

Would had been nice to ask about the current population of the game (numbers) seems they are already planning to shutdown support once for all.

Since Guild Wars will not get new content and has matured to a solid level of automation, the Guild Wars Support Forums are no longer the most effective way for us to aid the Guild Wars community

guess we have the answer to many of our questions without having to ask them...(though I think we already knew this)

I'm still in time to include that question or modify the interview (although is already sent). But only for a few hours.

If you want to send me the question rebuilt and prepared, maybe i can do something! (this applies for anyone that would like some part of the interview rebuilt)

I ride my Pokemon · Jul 11, 2014, 12:16 AM // 00:16

Izzy if you still can, please do it!

You are quite a catch aren't you haha

Personally I will not make any changes, but if you post some well-elaborated question that is worth doing, i'll try to see if we can include it or change any of the existing ones.

I have worked many hours on this interview, and after this last new, believe me, it doesn't deserve my time.

I'm not even playing Guild Wars at the moment, so a catch... catch... not really xDD. But i would come back if they revamp the game with F2P or other interesting stuff (PvP is unplayable!).

I ride my Pokemon · Jul 11, 2014, 02:02 AM // 02:02

As much as i wanted too (write beautifully a well-written question) for the interview, the fact is that I can't.

English it's not my native language. So playing the "captain obvious" here i would try but still fail to deliver a proper/formal/grammar-nazi/acceptable question.

Not that i'm taking advantage of your goodwill but that's why i said "Izzy if you still can, please do it!" in the first place

Nevertheless if it's going to overload you, its fine in the way it is.

Izzy Ownz · Jul 11, 2014, 02:42 AM // 02:42

English it's not my native language too xD. So it's also hard for me!

I was planning to search someone who could translate the interview to French and German (or any other language that has its own GW community). But considering that there will be no relevant information, I think it will remain as it is.

At the moment the interview will be available in English and Spanish.

Izzy Ownz · Jul 11, 2014, 01:22 PM // 13:22

Sigh... i have some new information from the Community Manager:

Hi Izzy,

Before being able to answer the interview, would you mind to translate the questions to english? Firstly i have to send it to the Arenanet team for revision (internal processes). [...] (translated from spanish)

Sigh (again)... now i have to start all the process again to prepare the questions properly, this time in english.

Sorry for the double-post

Bristlebane · Jul 11, 2014, 01:24 PM // 13:24

If you do a rough translation here, even by starting with a Google Translate,
let the community help correct any grammar mistakes afterwards.

For sure, Bristlebane

edit: i'm starting with the translation (the interview is not short), and once i have the "basic" translation i'll post it here, so you can help with the reconstruction.

**cosyfiep** · Jul 11, 2014, 01:56 PM // 13:56

yep yep we can most definitely help put it into good English for you (I taught English for a while so I hope I can still 'fix' things for you as well).

MaxBorken · Jul 11, 2014, 02:05 PM // 14:05

Never mind teaching English. I AM English. From England.

You're all (badly) borrowing our language (there's another 'i' in aluminium btw).

I'm sure we can get it translated with not much bother.

Anyone for a cup of tea?

Max

**cosyfiep** · Jul 11, 2014, 02:34 PM // 14:34

tea, yes, please Max! (and I think since areanet is in the usa they are talking about american English and not the one that includes extra letters like coloUr

)

so yes, we do have many native English speakers here who can (and sound willing to) help.

Bristlebane · Jul 11, 2014, 02:38 PM // 14:38

Well, perhaps after Izzy Own's translated community report, they respond with something like:
