gotta make a medium armor human !
One thing I've not been doing is talking to the scout npc's, which allows me to uncover areas as I come to them. There will still be some skill points and such showing in the foggy areas, but for the most part I get to find stuff as I come to it rather than relying on the map to guide me.
It is indeed limited.

I just wasn't sure how limited the actual conduit was gonna be so I made sure to snatch it up haha
It is nice being able to access the Forge without actually having to be in Lion's Arch now, I gotta admit.
Then my investment will have paid off haha
I traded a lot of my crafting mats to get the components and whatnot. I figured I could delay my crafting for it.
It is?
I'm not saying not to get it, it IS a limited time item and those things tickle many's fancy (including me)..but as long as the forge is conveniently located in the mists from anywhere, I don't see how it actually earns you any money.
It's just one of those limited time items that provide more convenience than there already is.
Probably going to skip it and spend my gold elsewhere, limited or not.

I chose to spend the gold just to have it. Not sure if it will get me money or not in the long run, but it's pretty cool to have. It'll definitely save time going to a waypoint just for the Mystic Forge so in that sense it would save money.
I don't disagree with that. I just think it's misleading to claim it's going to earn any extra money
It will probably save you a few minutes over the life of the game.Uh I have a 80 Warrior and 80 Guardian. Why?

Some shots of Orr, if only to prove that it can actually be a pretty decent-looking place.
You're supposed to go around and have fun but I just sat around in a dungeon grinding tokens.
That's a lot of butter.
Does it really look like that or are you using sweet fx?

Mystic forge items and recipes for legendary weapons.
Oh, ok, so you mean this thing? http://www.gw2db.com/items/63169-bloodstone-shard-s
200 seems like an insane number of skill points to get, especially since I'm sure a bunch of people spend their points unlocking skills like I did

Once you start 100% zones you will be wondering wtf to do with all those points.
i got 81 unused . ;P
I did that one by myself. Yeah... don't try at home, lol. It was a bitch. The previous hallway is filled with turrets that are constantly repaired by infinitely spawning robots. Try keeping alive those 4 dudes, destroying the turrets AND the robots while one of the agents opens the doors. Did I mention that another, tougher security robot spawns constantly as well, oh, and a group of Risen enters the hallway from the other end too, together with a risen shark whenever they feel like it.
The next room, where the WP is, is filled with as many enemies as that one. I died after getting the waypoint and I swore never to go back there again.

It is. I just bought the components for the Mystic Forge Conduit. Skipped the Mystic Chest process.
There's a room full of turkeys as well

Using SweetFX, naturally. Haven't turned it off since I got it.
I should also note that I'm using HQ ambient occlusion in those shots (the Skyrim bits this time), which requires disabling reflections (irrelevant for those shots since there's no water) and only works with native (1:1) sampling.
Just bought the game. Finally played after days of battle against bootcamp.
Luckily I can play in medium quality so the game is not bad. Though even with everything at minimum it was still nice.
I love it for now, maybe the game I feel the most enthusiastic about since WoW.
The areas are so big. I'm kind of feel overwhelmed right now.
Lots of stuff I don't understand very well yet.

You get 1 skill point for every "level" (254k xp) after you hit 80 so it really isn't that bad.
Well, I enjoyed the ride, but I'm not really finding the top end content to be very enticing or fun. PVE is too chaotic, sPVP is repetitive, WvW is fun, but the run back kills it. Oh well. I had a lot of fun, but BL2 is right around the corner, and I have DotA 2 and Darksiders 2 to play.
Ill have to keep an eye out for that next time.
So I was doing Ascalonian Catacombs earlier, and I disconnected from the game. When I reconnected, I was outside the dungeon and got the normal popup "Join party in dungeon?" I clicked yes and it put me in a brand new instanced dungeon with no progress completed, away from my party. I was never able to re-join them.
Is this intentional? If so, shitty and infuriating.
