NPC moved and design changed?[edit]
Can it be he has been made older and moved to Apprentice Carrels? He still has the same dialog though. An Inquest Grenadier seems to carry something invisible to him in a steady rhythm. If that can be confirmed, I'll update the page. - Ray Koopa (talk) 16:51, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
- NPCs often have a randomly generated appearance, so if that's the case here, best to just leave the image alone because then he can look like any male asura. As for location, if that's wrong please do update the page. =) - Doodleplex 17:11, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
- Interesting, I didn't know they're randomized. I actually just updated Zaiyah because he always has the same, but different appearance to me in the game than in the wiki. Are they like randomized once and then cached / stored for your client? About the location, I'll fix it. - Ray Koopa (talk) 12:18, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
- It's just randomly generated, nothing is stored. So far I've only found one case where the npc got mixed up with the one standing next to him, so otherwise 9 times out of 10 if the image you see doesn't match up with what you have in game it's just an NPC with a randomly generated model, and should be notated on the page so people don't update the image every other day heh. - Doodleplex 16:38, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
- I see, I better not update NPC images then. Anyway, that new Zaiyah image has a higher resolution, so I hope the update is kinda okay... =S - Ray Koopa (talk) 21:15, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
- Don't worry about, you didn't know nor did most people, hence why some NPC images have like 6 different versions heh. Heck I only figured it out myself as part working on the Shared Model Project after making the same mistake. But anyway, if you see other NPCs that don't match up with the wiki's picture, marking that they're randomly generated would be a huuuuuuuge help. =D - Doodleplex 21:24, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
- Speaking of which, where do I set that mark, or is it a custom text? I didn't find info on it researching Guild Wars 2 Wiki:NPC formatting - Ray Koopa (talk) 15:25, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

(Reset indent) It would go under the Notes section. - Doodleplex 16:41, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
- Added it for the two. Maybe the addition of such note should be mentioned in the NPC formatting guidelines? (Also just read that NPCs should be cropped to 50px, doing that soon...) - Ray Koopa (talk) 18:16, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
- I have no idea why that 50px is on there, so hold off on that for the moment. That may be just early formatting from way back when the wiki started, because I don't think that applies anymore. - Doodleplex 18:25, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
