@roelski-gw2​ I very quickly realized I would need help getting them to stay focused, I’ll tell you that :^) So I had a friend clear the road of distractions so the patrols could converse in peace. Worked out well!

@roelski-gw2 The frustration and the beauty of the project for us archivists: there’s always something else to discover :)

I’m 3,000 videos in and don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say I’m probably still missing a solid 20% of the ambient dialogue in this game.

@roelski-gw2 Feel free to be another pair of eyes on this, but I believe this is the case, yes :( The dev’s comments suggest that while Zommoros’s LA dialogue might still be running, the plan was for it to be temporary.

As for me, I haven’t had any luck seeing Zommoros & co. since before last Tuesday, that critical two week mark since Episode 4′s patch dropped. I originally recorded him at 11am EST, but to cover my bases this week I checked nearly every hour for 24 hours, and no dice.

Given the circumstances, I’m not surprised they didn’t plan for it to be permanent addition - if there’s any place where dialogue comes and goes, it’s Lion’s Arch - but it was such a treat to see Zommoros with his skritt entourage that I’m sad they weren’t around at least until Halloween, when the Mystic Forge gets its Mad King’s Day makeover.

I thought the same thing re: meta since Garff participates, but while he was still standing at the Keep I returned to his spot and there he was, reciting his poetry to Matthew while my back was turned. Doubled back, and he was still at the Keep. And so I was foiled again. :’) I’ve waited through successful metas and failed metas both with no difference that I could see.

In truth I have this piece of dialogue already--two versions of it, actually. Since Garff gets talked over by a Priory member and two skritt that patrol by, I was aiming for enough takes to be able to edit out interruptions, and since then it’s become a morbid curiosity about whether the event is bugged, has an obscure trigger, or only runs at a specific time. I got DC’d multiple times in the Peaks yesterday, so it’s still hard to say, but I’m beginning to suspect the first reason.

@roelski-gw2 In my experience, “Mad King Thorn”’s dialogue has been extremely buggy the past few Halloweens. This year it seems to be running smoothly!

Hey, you still update this blog? As i have some ambient dialogue videos on my channel and plan to make more.

Updating got to be too much for me to handle; the last post was July 23, 2016...

@talk-of-tyria has become the... spiritual successor, I suppose. better content formatting, consistent updating, etc.
