Feeling the same way. I didn't feel that "hooked' on the game when I got it back on launch, that and my account getting hacked kind of soured me on the game. These past few weeks though, I've been completely hooked on the game, and can't wait to play the game every day
definitely my GOTY 2012 at this point! although I feel there's still a lot of room for improvement. Hope the jan/feb updates are excellent in that regard.I've technically been doing the same over on JQ.
...Which I didn't even realize (as I did not know influence was per server) until yesterday when my friend pointed it out to me, lol
wow, that's what it is? blah. i don't want tower defense.
also, i wonder what the 200 cogs are for. other than to destroy on jan 4th i guess.
You use cogs, frames, stuffing and glue to make minipets!

Can someone verify that this Toypocalypse event is PUG only? I'm hearing rumors of something that formed groups cannot get in?
250, not 200. It's a weird amount to give.
Yeah man, it's auto matching, no way can any groups get in to do it organized wise. It's pretty lame.

ANet...I wonder if this is their automatching system.
yes, but that requires 250, not 200.
Oh, yeah, I just meant in general.
I assume that you'll be able to get more cogs from the daily tixx dungeon reward or something.
The 200 cogs are probably for those who had the DR bug in the dungeon earlier. They gave just enough to make up for what was missed, but not enough for people who didn't get the bug to get another mini, which would have left those who got the bug out again.
The cogs are useless for those of us who never got the bug. I'll be keeping them in my bank just in case, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Yeah. I haven't done it yet, but I really wish they gave us the option of a random PUG or a pre-made group for these things.

So since I haven't kept up to date on the game is there anything I should know while leveling that may have changed? Just want to make sure I don't miss anything.

You have a choice of either per day originally, it might be the same now that Tixx has settled in LA.
You get to pick between a stack of either each time.
Um. Not off the top of my head.

On the issue of not being able to join as a group...

Wow only one dolyak now? damn!
Damn, that should be pretty easy then.
I was getting really frustrated when no on helps out building walls around the dolyaks, or putting up weapons/snowman. People seem to think you can just dps your way through it.
I had one group who got to the very end of the last round, only to have a dolyak die. I'm not sure I'll get a pug as good as that again, lol.
Just an update;
I have created a new guild rank, "Mobile Operator", which means absolutely zilch but sounds neat. This rank has all of the benefits of regular Members, but can spend guild influence. If you are on a non-SBI server and you want to spend some of the influence you've been getting, please whisper an officer and let us know.
Please be aware that we're just going to let the first person who asks spend the influence, so if there's a large cluster of you guys stuck on, say, Yak's Bend, whoever asks first is going to get to control that.
Those on SBI will get Influence activated for the weekends as usual, as the non-SBI GAFers will want to get stuff like guild bank tabs and such.

90% of the difficulty in Toypocalypse is in the first round with people who don't know what to do. After the defenses and some siege equipment is up, it's not that hard to get to the end without a single death. It is actually pretty fun if you get into a group who knows the basics.
I like the idea of the event, I just feel like it could of been cut in half. The rewards for the time are just not all that great.
I immediately took a look after reading this thread about Mr. Gundam Avatar getting hooked up. Bravo son
What one time gift?

I woke up this morning with the thought of trying for Sunrise....
Then I saw it took 100 lodestones....
It's gonna be a while...

Yeah, just play the game and you'll get it eventually. Don't push straight for it, it'll make you want to quit (at least that's what happened to me).
Well I just checked. The gifts from Tixx's chest in LA. The bag and backpiece.

It's funny because I have most of the stuff because I was going for Twilight originally, but felt Sunrise was more fitting to a Guardian. I had a couple lodestones and sold them too, so back to getting more I suppose.
I foresee lots of CoE runs in the future.
I'm sorry.
Not a one time thing, he'll stay there for the entire duration.
It's one time in the sense that you can only get it once, and you can only get it this Wintersday. At least, I think that's what he meant.
*high5* yay, one more mesmer at 80!
What kind of focus you thinking of doing on your mesmer?

at some point i'll log in again, perhaps this weekend. just too wiped after work to really think about turning on my big rig

Ambient occlusion has issues with reflections. Turn off reflections and the issues disappear (I personally do it anyway because the water looks better with the environment map reflections). Also you have to be on 'normal' sampling and not supersampling to see it.
It's so subtle, however, that I don't recommend turning it on unless you have Nvidia Inspector and can switch to the Skyrim bits (much, much better).
You mean the one off chest in main centre/er of LA?

I haven't played in nearly a month now (exams etc), can someone fill me in in layman terms and a couple words what happened in this time in GW2? (any HUGE changes?)
works perfectly fine for me (French)

I thought transfers were free with a 7-day wait period?
Oh, that could be true. I just assumed the first one would be free, since a server transfer would be a common thing for a cash shop. And it displays your current/cost of gems when you try.
No harm in trying it out for myself then, if that's the case.

That Toypocalypse grind is horrible.
They don't have a certain other feature setup, so although they planned to charge for server transfers, instead all transfers are free with a 7-day cooldown.

I hope you can "Guest" with European Servers sometime soon. I made the mistake of trying to join a dungeon with them and couldn't figure out why I was getting a network error, lol.
I just made my first Ascended Back Piece, Koss on Koss. Thankfully, I bought all of the Vicious Fangs after they increased their drop rate from bags. It lowered their price by about 4 silver each.

Awesome, and congratulations! Can you post a picture if it's possible? I don't think I've ever seen it.
