Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns
I moved over to the expansion team around the time I was converted to a full-time employee, from there I hopped onto the raids strike team to help them build new game mechanics and behaviors.
A core feature in a lot of raid content is player placed markers. Initially these were conceived as columns of light. I pushed for them to get distinct colors and unique icons to support the visually impaired. These features were eventually rolled into general player earned tools.
