“As the season finale, today’s episode is a conclusion and also a lead-in to what comes next,” Mike O’Brien posted. “Our goal was to do it in a meaningful way, not with a simple cliffhanger that’d get spoiled as soon as we announced the next expansion. I can’t say more without revealing too much, but I love it that we get to make episodes like this and tell stories like this. I want to congratulate the episode six team for the care and crafting that went into getting it just right.”
Some of the topics addressed in the AMA were hints about the legendary accessory, mentions of a future skill balance pass, more legendary weapons, Dance Dance Revolution (seriously), emotes, and what other MMOs the team is playing.
ArenaNet said that it has two teams operating right now, one for living world and one for the expansion. When the expansion wraps up, that team will pass the baton back to the living world to continue the story in season four.
