What happened to Wednesday Wallpaper?

Aye, no wednsday wallpaper. Perhaps they ran out of art?

As for the FF, strange questions this time. I never would have thought of a "quick team" thing for missions, but maybe that's because I'm a patient person in general.

I'm sad that they're taking out /bug though!
It made it so easy to report problems. Still, I suppose I can understand why -- when the game releases, they might have a lot of people reporting "fake" bugs. It's probably a lot easier to deal with in small, isolated BWEs, but if you're getting tons of 'bugs' all the time, it's probably too much to handle. Making you go to the site to submit them will likely weed out most of the pranksters.

The star of the varsity badminton team was the only good question. But seriously, I did ask other questions, but Gaile chose those to answer. I'm pretty satisfied with the whole experience. =)

Ummm... well... we're working on something sort of big right now, and I'm afraid that it was about 5:00 on Wednesday when we realized "Hey, we don't have a wallpaper!" So we decided to continue working on our something big, and give it a pass.

However... we'd really ideas for future wallpapers. If you have things you'd like to see, please let us know. Be it characters, concept art, monsters, etc., we'd love to serve up a feast for your eyes.

That's an easy one, Gaile. The public outcry is for wallpaper of the Ellie .. with kitty ears.

I want a wallpaper with whip cream, kitty ears, a elementalist, and The District Nudists.

I already have the picture in my mind, if I only could draw.

You know better than that Gaile. When we don't have GW to play we look forward to those weekly fixes to keep us going until the next beta. When it doesn't show up, we notice.

As for wallpaper ideas, I'd like to see a new character render, Many of us are getting tired of seeing the same pics recycled through.

Yes, and in a different armor. Say, this one looks good.

Edit: I mean, warrior armor - it looks cool, i even made a screenshot. Necro one is ok too, but it doesn't fit in a necro theme so it's not good for a wallpaper.

I want to see a male ranger for a change.
As for the GW Rage wallpapers, this one is the best, in my opinion. One of the few wallpapers without uber filter use.

When i'm choosing a wallpaper i don't care about filters or something. I just choose one what i want to see on my desktop :P I definately don't want to see this one there.

Then we're different in those matters. I look at the pictures from a technical point of view. Eventhough, there's only one I'd want to see on my desktop and that's the one I showed :P.

How about a wallpaper of pvp action set over a concept art background?

How about a wallpaper of some of those hot Charr honeys! Err... no, wait, even better... how about one of the dwarf women? Okay, so I just scorched my eyeballs just imagining that one, so never mind.

Seriously, though... If you had some renders of either the Charr or the Undead, that would be cool. Or perhaps ones of the different sides of Kryta... The White Mantle... and whoever the other ones are, it's been a while since I played the Kryta portion.

I'm not sure if this would be too difficult to do, (guess it depends on whether or not there are already high-res models/art of them), but I'd like to see the 'rest' of the character classes on wallpapers. That is, Male Mesmer, Female Warrior, Male Ranger, female monk, male ele, ect. The ones that we haven't seen on wallpapers before now. I know we've seen them as character models, but it would be nice to see them the way we've seen the other character classes recently.

How about some action shots with real art or really high-quality renders of the in-game animation. For example, I've love to see a really high quality render of someone casting Phoenix.

Another nice thing would be some high quality art or renders of things like a Melandru's stalker, a snow wolf, etc.

For that matter, some really nice wallpapers of Melandru, Dwayna, Lyssa, Balthazar, etc.

Great feedback, and thank you. The reason you've not seen high-poly renders of everyone -- each of the two genders in six professions -- is that we don't have all the characters in that form. Yes, it's very sad, but what you haven't seen, we don't have.

We're hoping for more renders in the near future, and we understand that some nice new assets will be arriving soon with which we can create more and different kinds of wallpapers. In the meantime, I like the suggestions you've made, and thank you for the good ideas.

easy solution to the problem? simply take a render of the gender that you have (crap... that wasn't supposed to rhyme) and then go into MS paint and use the paint brush tool to draw the right armour over it. no one will notice. trust me.

but anyway, seeing some scenes of either battles going on between players or scenes of many different characters would be neat.
