It's been almost a month since we've heard any news on the sunspear skills. Those of us who took the time to max the title are still waiting . . .
Any tidbits of information would be appreciated!
Any word on the new PvE sunspear skills?

Gaile sure has been silent since Alex quit
edit: if she actually decides to still be Community Relations person again, I'd like to hear an answer to her other recent lie, that about there's no anti-farm in HM

In a word: no.

when and why did alex quit, and when did gail stop being the CR?

Gaile has been silent since she got really upset in that one huge thread. I can understand why she got upset, I just wish she wouldn't take things personally...I doubt that more than 1 or 2 isolated comments were meant towards her. But yeah, seriously, where are these skills?

Seriously, Gaile Grey is apparently part Dev/part CR. That what she claims, anyways. Alex Weekes left after receiving an offer from another company (some speculate that he wanted to jump ship, hehe). He has been replaced with Michael Kelton as the new European CR. One question: Has anyone ever seen Michael Kelton or Andrew Patrick, the other CR?
On topic, I'm kinda annoyed that Gaile has been mum about the PvE-only skills. I'm kinda annoyed that Gaile has been mum period...
VitisVinifera
I saw lots of Andrew Patrick during the ATS beta testing. Went up against him quite a few times too. Other than that......
Amon Warrior
Sunspear skills?
That is quite an annoying wait...

The only time I hear anything about them is when someone posts another thread about them. You'd think one of them would get a reply...
Heh, looks like someone took the douche advice to heart.
And I've seen her rarely post here and the odd post on gwo. They all seem to be "cute" posts where she's joking with the community rather than anything that actually has any thing to do with game play *shrug*

What i wanna know is if we can get them at r6 sunspear and not only available to r9 and 10's.
But a dev update would be nice right about now lol.

My guess is that your guess is wrong, not one single pve only skill is tied to a profession yet so why would that change for this. In fact the dev chat may have addressed this as well, but they may have only been talking about the title based pve skills in gwen only.

O dear I hope Gaile didn't snap because well after taking 2 years of stupid moron comments (even with lots of good people posting also) it might cracked her patience......
DeBron
Yes zidane888, I do believe that Anet needs to tell us these things.
I paid for all three of the campaigns: I don't think asking politely for information is an absurd request on my part.

DeBron: you only think so because they have been so open in the past so it's kind of expected. That said, it's fully within their rights to clam up and say 'screw it, you want info, be polite to us rather than insulting jerks'

I figured she just doesn't acknowledge our existence anymore.

I imagine the skills will be released with GW:EN, as they have said. The PvE skills that they've mentioned probably ARE the GW:EN new skills.

For example, we're altering the death explosions of the Afflicted creatures in Factions, creature distribution in particularly difficult areas, monsters scattering away from area of effect spells, and healer creatures running from melee attackers indefinitely. We've also decided to add a number of PvE-only Sunspear skills, which will be available to players through both Normal and Hard Mode.

That is correct. We're still testing the PvE-only skills -- shouldn't be long now!

I deserve the right to complain, AT's were 5 months late. So I reserve the right to complain about delays. If Anet said that the skills are being worked on, then they're being worked on.

Maybe they nerfed the skill before even releasing them!
(lol that was a Anerf joke)
Sad about Gaile, :S
Gaile Gray: I have burden of fandom on me!
Roshi Ikkyu: I'm casting dissolved social stigma on Gaile Gray!

Maybe Anet are just sorting out a replacement for Alex, so they haven't been doing dev stuff till that's done.

If Gaile chooses not to post here anymore because her feelings got hurt she needs to do 1 of 2 things.
1. Grow thicker skin and put on a fake smile (if she didn't know that there would be criticisms to what people didn't agree with and that sometimes it would be misdirected at her, the "Voice of Anet", she apparently doesn't fully understand the ins and outs of her job).
2. Find something else to do. You can't be the medium between a company and it's customers and then just not post on one of the sites because a couple of people got rowdy. Either stop posting all together or treat the sites equally.

NB: I have NOT joined the I </3 Gaile Gray Club, if such a thing even exist.
VitisVinifera
totally agree, Smile. If she can't hack it in *this* job, she needs to be a librarian or something, where there are *zero* challenges and *zero* stress (I apologize if I've offended any librarians here, it's just the first thing that popped in my head).
Point is: she has (had?) a pretty good job doing something many fanboys dream of, and she had to know what some of the challenges would be (ie, people like me). But come on......if she can't hack it doing this cupcake of a deal, she needs to get out of an industry where it only gets harder as you get into the production side of things.

I think she is just disappointed at how ungrateful the community is. Ever have kids (or even young siblings) that are completely ungrateful of everything you (or your parents) do? You do everything you can for them, and all they want is more.
Gaile doesn't deserve the bashing, she is only CR. It is expected, however, and you have every right to do it. And they have every right to give you nothing, tell you nothing, and break all contact between player and company.
ArenaNet is a company, and a company needs to make money. Do you think it would benefit them more to release Hard Mode with Nightfall or use NF to keep your attention for 6(?) months and then include HM? Same goes for Sunspear skills and other updates (ATS, for example).

A 'good job doing something many fanboys dream of?' Please
I had an opportunity to meet her at a pre-release event. I can assure you any Fanboy cannot do the job she does.I guess its just assumed that Anet must have somekind of contractual obligation to answer all and any questions the community may ask, quelm any uneasyness or supposed demands from whiny/ignorant ranters.
Its time like these, I'm glad the game is in the hands of capable professionals and not know-it-all clueless 'fans'.

Exoudeous
yup. people demand to have info from her, and at the same time they want to flame her to no end for what ever she says or doesnt say. You can't shoot the messenger here and still want info.
I mean how many of you people have jobs where you have to talk to customers all day? im sure youd know that alot of people are stupid and/ or yell at you for things that arnt even your fault.
