Your anonymous source

If he's taking the time to read the forums, why can't he reply himself? It's not as if he's obligated to reply to every question; that argument is pretty bad tbh. Even just posting a single time and saying that what you're saying is to be taken as his word would be plenty. Unless he's not technically supposed to be revealing things...? --Kyoshi (Talk) 18:04, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

He's high up on the Arenanet ladder, so I take every word he says like that 100%, especially if he's revealing it to me in confidence. --Malchior Devenholm 19:09, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Is it possible to have a Guru-active dev confirm his position and therefore acknowledge that the source is legit towards the public? This keeps him isolated and without obligations and we still have proof the source is indeed official. :) - Infinite - talk 19:15, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

You are welcome to look into that, I suppose. Then again, we could just wait til ComicCon now that the effect for Daze is in the demo, we could get proof of it from a first-hand source. --Malchior Devenholm 19:18, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Even if the dev wrote to the public that Malchior was his announcer, it still wouldn't matter. This is an official wiki, we do not document info unless it comes directly from a developer. As far as getting the guy to confirm his position, you're better off trying to ask if the information is true, because if the source doesn't want to Malchior to reveal him, then the guy isn't going to want another dev to reveal him. (Xu Davella 19:48, 22 September 2010 (UTC))

An official ArenaNet developer stating something like "The mysterious source Malchior keeps mentioning is indeed an official GW2 developer and what Malchior mentions in regards to this is, in fact, correct." would make the source and the information 100% official. - Infinite - talk 20:06, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

That's not going to happen because his source would lose his job. As of now, I'd consider it informed speculation and keep it off the actual article. You can "I-told-you-so" later. 20:18, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Wait, where is the part about how the source is leaking this information into the general public without any form of consent from the ArenaNet GW2 developing team? If so, we shouldn't even have this discussion. - Infinite - talk 20:21, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

The source isn't leaking information without the consent of anet because he's part of anet? It's not even leaking... that's a part of the game that was in the game, and is in the game, that he was explaining. Shadowed Ritualist 20:56, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Just because you work for a company doesn't mean you can't leak information you're not meant to spread. Hence we need to know if this information is supposed to be spread or whether it's being leaked, after which we can determine whether or not it should be documented. This would also count towards future references from this source. - Infinite - talk 21:27, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Felix, and anyone else- He wouldn't lose his job. Everything he made available to me could have been documented by any person who had played the demo. That's the whole reason he was so open. He's filling in the blanks for what we could have found but didn't. Therefore, this is NOT a leak. This is Arenanet being open with its community. However, they can't be too open or they would get spammed by PMs on the forums every day. --Malchior Devenholm 21:33, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Can we just get confirmation from Regina (or any other GW2 dev) that your source is an official, then? That's all we need to hear. (With all due respect, your word is not ArenaNet-official and this way we can still meet the wishes of your source, by keeping him hidden behind an openly representative developer.) - Infinite - talk 21:36, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

I sent a request to my source to confirm the information himself or through another developer. --Malchior Devenholm 21:44, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, that is very much appreciated and will on the long run be a positive asset to various edits. :)

EDIT: I do not want him to feel forced to reveal himself in any way. As long as any ArenaNet official confirms it for him, it will be fine. :) - Infinite - talk 21:55, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

That's exactly what I was asking for, Malchior, thank you. --Kyoshi (Talk) 23:15, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

(Reset indent) " However, they can't be too open or they would get spammed by PMs on the forums every day." Wait, why couldn't they just release an article on their blog with "what you might have missed in the demo"? --Riddle 00:41, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Because some people who aren't so rabid about every little bit of information like us would think that wouldn't be sufficient enough. --Malchior Devenholm 01:14, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Haha, priceless and true. :P - Infinite - talk 01:17, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

How could publishing something like "what you might have missed in the demo..." be so different than the however many articles they've already published? --Riddle 01:51, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Because not all of his sources are from things that we may have missed, it's info that as been released after PAX and may be shown at the NY thingy. There's no harm in keeping the info in the talk pages, or suggest a move like these two articles have been in order to draw attention to the info.(Xu Davella 13:11, 23 September 2010 (UTC))

The only thing revealed to me that wasn't in the demo was the visual effect of daze. The condition existed at GamesCom and PAX, but with no visual effect to look for, it made it difficult for people to document. Everything else could have been found at the demo. (I should know, since some of what he told me just matched our research at the Skills & Traits Compendium --Malchior Devenholm 16:23, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Ugh, I'm such a wiki retard. Lemme just fix the links.... :P(Xu Davella 17:19, 23 September 2010 (UTC))

Hey guys, I checked with our community people and I'll try and get on here every so often to provide some clarification on combat stuff that we have revealed but wasn't totally clear. Just can't do it often because work is busy. :) -- Jon Peters

Very much appreciated, thank you. Also an apology towards Malchior for making such a fuss about this all, I hope you both understand why we wanted to make sure. :) And Jon, I hope you feel in no way obliged to react to any questions from anyone just because you showed up on the Wiki, because you are not in any way. :) - Infinite - talk 10:56, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Your fire name thingy

is awesome. And I love choral music O_O choir ftw. ~ Bow | 21:01, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Personally I find it a bit garish and jarring, but to each their own.--Corsair@Yarrr 08:08, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

I will phrase it like this

If you don't have an official (non leaked) source, then don't put it on the wiki. Lightning Bolt should not be renamed Discharge Lightning unless you have a source (such as a demo video) or an image that proves otherwise. Aqua (T|C) 23:10, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

I messed up the coding, and reverted the changes. Source is now in discussion. --Malchior Devenholm 23:11, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Okay, I just wanted to make sure it had a source. (After your previous, my unnamed ANet source thing.) Sorry for any inconvenience. :) Aqua (T|C) 23:18, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

I suck with wiki code xD --Malchior Devenholm 23:19, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
