Two identical green hammers dropped for me in a row/at same time (was killing mobs in a group and just hitting F to autoloot).

Called Mighty Hammer of Grawl Slaying.

Bug or somehow extremely lucky?

Oh well, it's my first green drop anyway :D

Just coincidence, I've gotton two of the exact same item before.

Every zone I enter I finish 100% before I leave, ughhh OCD.

My wife and I are the same way. Honestly though I really enjoy it. I never feel like 100% is a waste of time... Most vista/POIs I find without even trying. Plus, I'm not dying to get to lvl 80.

I am in love with this game...

Same here, except for Iron Marches. Because fuck the Iron Marches and all of its broken events and quests.

So weird about Iron Marches. I did like 3 hearts and a few events, liked the look of it and then bailed for the time being. Had no idea it was so full o' bugs.

So hard to 100% some zones post 50. I've run into so many bugged events that make getting the skill points/poi/hearts a chore if not impossible.

I think it just depends on the zone and maybe what class you play.

My only toon is a lvl 76 necromancer, and I've played solo 99.9% of the time. The only real challenge I had was on the Firerise(?) map. There's one skill point that you pretty much need at the very least one other person simply because of the number of mobs around. Other than that, I'm pretty sure I was able to discover every other mark on the map completely by myself.

Iron Marches isn't the only bugged zone. Timberline Falls has multiple broken events and one broken heart that took doing something completely different to complete. I have also encountered some issues in Bloodtide Coast, Sparkfly Fen, and Mount Maelstrom. I am sure many other zones have bugged stuff too...it's really quite a big issue.

That trailer is so odd. The last 10 seconds are the great part, why didn't they just do more of that? tsk tsk.

All their marketing and pre-release video's they did were pristine. All dripping with amazing art, fantastic music and gameplay at the core.

But this is what they came up with for a TV commercial? Talk about an outlier.

The fuck happened, Arenanet?

When you're good at game design, you gotta be bad at something, right? lol

I also thought it was weird. I got the point that people are entering the game to do something awesome, but they came across it like... I dunno. Something weird.

I loved the end though. Spoilers!

Hit 80 last night.

Some decent cheap karma gear from Orr, and I'm well on my way to glory.

Kinda reminded me of the MK trailer from way back where they're all shouting Mortal Kombat in the streets.

Except not as good.

End of the trailer was good though! (spoilers yo)

How does the Temple gear compare in stats to dungeon gear? I can see myself doing more events and running dungeons, so I'm just curious.

Anyone know if there's a temple set that is Power/VIT/Condition DMG?

I can't really log in and go to Arah to find out at the moment.

Good ways of earning money?

My friend said he loaded up on MF, went to the lvl 80 zone and just did events. Said he made 5 g in a couple days.


Wonder when hey're going to turn on 2 week matches. I'm always realllly hesitant to purchase seige weapons in WvW knowing that any help I offer is obliterated in less than 24hours.

There are enough skill points to unlock all of the slot skills correct?

Skill points are not a finite resource. Once you hit 80, every "level up" you get earns you 1 skill point, and you can keep doing that forever.

Ding ding ding. MF gear+Food, sell exotics on TP and greens to vendors. Mine Orchalium ore and sell each ore for 4s each, easy 12 silver per node. The part that sucks is that you have to actually fight the mobs in Orr, every single one of which either pulls, fears, dazes, stuns, etc etc. Either that or just do lots of WvW.

They have the same base stats. Crafted gear does too. Each temple has a specific rune so you have to go to a specific temple to get the rune you want, like Melandru temple for rune of Melnadru and so on (or buy it in TP), while dungeon gear has different runes and there are all available at once from the same place.

My friend said he loaded up on MF, went to the lvl 80 zone and just did events. Said he made 5 g in a couple days.

I can second this, not even a couple of days- You get a lot of drops just from chaining events. I've got more yellows from doing this than from having MF boost and doing dungeons for example. Also, you are better off selling your stuff in the weekend, people seem to spend more gold then (though it can mean there's more available items too).

Reached lvl 80 was still getting skillpoints from "levelling up" again and again, bought all skills and i have 24 skillpoints left over.

Put this in perspective, i've only got 50% of the worlds skillpoints so far, you'll never run out of them ever.

Though i read that legendary weapons need 200 skillpoints to craft them so theres that i suppose :p

Sounds like every damn mob after level 40.

I dunno, I haven't had any trouble just running past mobs from 40-60 and I don't even have any speed boosts as warrior except for the melee weapons trait, they leash pretty quickly

Lucky you. Every time I run past anything I get chained ( Frozen in place ), start limping for a fucking fortnight or get knocked down ALL. THE. TIME. It's so annoying.

The difference is that in Orr, there are mobs everywhere. Like literally even the towns and bases aren't 100% safe because of all the events happening. Sometimes you think you can run past a mob in Orr only for them to pull you back into a pack of 3 angry zombies. It's really frustrating.

Sounds awful. I'm already frustrated enough as it is.

They have the same *amount* of base stats, but actually the Orr Temple gear have a lot of pieces that have unique distribution of them. For example, some of the Orr stuff has Precision, Vitality, and Healing power. This mix isn't available anywhere else to my knowledge.

That trailer seriously blows my mind with its abject, bizarre awfulness. Their marketing department had been hitting nothing but strikes up until now, I wonder what the deal is.
