All players if you want to make serious fucking gold right now, go to a zone like Genderran fields and cut down all the trees you can. Soft Wood Planks are going for 17 silver. This is not going to last. Take some hours of your time and farm the living jeebus out of it.

Interview with Colin Johanson about HoT, one week in; http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/...f-Thorns-One-Week-In-with-Colin-Johanson.html
Do they just not sleep? HoT hasn't even cooled off a degree and they're already telling us what's right around the corner.
All you new/free players or returning folks who never experienced the Living Story... I'd tell you to get ready, but there's really nothing you can do to prepare for it.

Well to be fair the things I listed should have been there at HoT release but needed more time for fixes.
Looks like we can rest easy knowing LS won't pick up till 2016.

They're good, but maybe that last one shouldn't be posted, no?
It is from the story ep. 8 and the exalted trials, no?

I figured it was generic enough that it didn't really give anything away. If I'm mistaken, I'll take it down.
I made a slight change to the look of my Char which I think you'll all agree is far more in keeping with just how badass Char really are.
So beautiful
I have been mainly doing Halloween and PvP since HoT (last thing I was asked to do in story was unlock gliding) and I didn't think it really gave anything away. The enemy model I think we've seen before, or at least a similar one. If there is something in the picture that spoils something, it's still over my head.
No, it's fine. I have no clue what I'm looking at and the hound certainly isn't a new model or anything.
Mordrem X are beings made out of matter from the original thing. Mordrem Wyverns are mordrem made out of wyvern bodies.
Well, down to the wire but I got 8/8 Halloween achievements, not that it earns me anything but I like to do it every year. Here's hoping next year they're not too busy to expand the Mad King Thorn story, maybe bring back a shitload of his wives seeking revenge on him as a sort of Haunted Henry VIII kind thing. It's a cool little tongue-in-cheek story I'd love to see them continue fleshing out if only as a silly little break from the usual plotline.
I figured as much, so the Wyvern Patriarch is just a wild animal that is rather pissed off (either from the death of later-said Matriarch, or from having eggs thrown at him). But the Mordrem Wyvern Matriach is the/a killed -> re-purposed Wyvern Matriarch.
I've seen people break her bar once or twice, but most pugs don't really bother with CCs. Yeah it just topples her and gives you free hits.

Isn't that the Patriarch fight?

I just got the Halloween achievement done, left it a little late but glad I got it. This was my first Halloween and I enjoyed it, the Lab is really great for levelling, it really helped my Revenant out.
Spent 2 hours doing the CoF mastery farm, it was mind numbing but I got the Fractal masteries I wanted and a couple of others so it was worth it. I finished 1-20, time to progress further! I'm really enjoying Fractals but I see a lot of complaints from high level people about the rewards which is a shame, I was hoping to get some Ascended armour from them as it's so expensive.

They said in the interview that retro posted they are looking at fractal rewards
I think it's switched, when you do the top one near the vines it shows the one with the frog as finished but when you do the frog, it shows the top with the vine thing as finished. For some reason it's reversed but you can still do both.
Yeah today I went to where the frogs are now, even through I already obtained the HP there, and it counted for the other one.
Yesterday I took my level 45 engineer to Harathi Highlands. Events there was a daily and I figured it`d be pretty quick since the centaur camp assault chain runs quite often. As luck would have it it started a minute or so after I got there and I ran through the whole thing apart from the big boss fight right at the end (Couldn`t stay that long).
The entire thing took less than 20 minutes but the surprising thing was I gained three entire levels doing it. The only XP boost I had active was a birthday booster. Does that sound right?

I wonder what something looks like after you stare at it blankly for 2.5 years straight.
Haven`t they been running around CoF in circles farming the hell out of it?
Absolutely naked? Around scale 20. That said, put some ascended acessories and you can get to mid 30s I believe.

Realized that I had about 70 laurels burning a whole in my pocket so I finally went and got some ascended accessories.
Is crafting the only reliable way to get ascended armor/weapons or is there a merchant for them too?
Also did a Fractal for the first time in forever last night. I'm at a whopping Fractal level 4, ladies and germs. eally hoping ANet supports them more than dungeons and eventually starts putting out newer Fractals pretty regularly, because it was a decently fun time.

Agony doesn't start until level 20 so you can go that far without any ascended gear at all.
Ascended trinkets (rings x2, accessories x2, amulet) are relatively easy to get via laurels. By the time you hit level 20 you should have enough relics in your wallet to purchase a few versatile agony infusions (+5 AR for 75 relics each). If you have the fractal mastery that allows you to go to the far island and talk to the researcher guy you can buy +7 infusions for one +5 infusion and 75 relics (so 150 relics in total). So you could cheaply get 7*5 = 35 AR in your trinkets which will last you up until fractal level 35.
Ascended weapons are much more of a stat upgrade from exotics than ascended armor is, so if you're going to focus on something, do weapons first. There's one infusion slot for each hand, so you can get another 14 AR in there bringing you up to 49 AR which will get you to level 43.
After that you'll have to start thinking about crafting an ascended backpack and ascended armor, and infusing and attuning your rings and backpack for the two agony slots (and the very expensive +10/+11 infusions to go in them). Unfortunately fractals aren't a decent source of money at all, and the chances of getting an ascended armor box from them is very, very low, especially at low levels, so it will be a significant investment if you want to get into high level fractals.
Another thing worthy of note is that they sort of changed the way agony works, it's only certain attacks from bosses that will apply agony, and it's usually a pretty obvious tell. They even added an effect to show that it will apply agony, so if you know the encounters well enough you can in theory get away with less than the recommended agony resistance. But that requires spending a lot of time in fractals, and if you spend a lot of time in fractals you probably already have ascended gear and the appropriate amount of AR anyways.
Yeah, you have to craft those. If you get an ascended armor/weapon box you can swap the stats in the mystic forge, but the drop rates on those are very low.

Throw it in the forge with an exotic insignia of the stat you want, 5 ectos, and an anthology of heroes (purchased from Miyani for spirit shards).
