What I want to know is was the option to have the VA's record their voice lines from their own homes ever considered a option, and why was it ultimately decided against?In this day and age it's not only easy but quite standard for VA's to work from home especially when it comes to smaller or side projects or when they are just starting out, and all that's really needed is a proper professional grade microphone that only costs a few hundred dollars. You can still have the other person listening in live in a call and giving feedback too and have the recorded files sent over for a proper inspection and editing. I understand that no matter what though, any studio record audio will always have a higher/better end product (for example being able to do live group recordings), but using your own argument, why not at least have some recorded voice lines and then re-record it later in a studio setting? Is there really that great of a concern that the quality would just be too under par? Or (which I highly doubt its the case) do the employed VA's not have the skills or resources to be able to do recordings at home? I'm not going to try to argue that it was a bad or wrong decision to delay the voice lines as I'm sure ArenaNet have their procedures and standards when it comes to creating content, but I'm very curious to know what they are as like I said in the beginning, in this age of technology we live in it's both relatively easy and cheap to perform almost all levels of game development from home be it coding, design or even audio.

The meta event only required you to defeat 5 loyaltys when I could swear it used to be 8 previously, so I guess they made some changes to it there? Even though there's nothing in the path notes about it. EDIT: Nvm, it seems that it will always spawn a different amount (eg 5, 6 or 8).
