Well I'll be on from around 5pm - 1AM central so chances are you'll be around sometime during there
god i have no life
GAF or Aussie?
GAF is on Stormbluff Isle.
Banks are account wide. Just throw it in there.
Silence? I think, whatever the Dredge exotic is.
I started out trying to base my weapons around my armor, but seeing as how you can't dye your weapons...quickly changed to working my armor around my weapons.

Out of curiosity and because of the recent GW2 news, I reinstalled the game, logged in with my LV28 Warrior, but I had no idea what I was supposed to do anymore so I just stood there in Rata Sum and logged out

Wasn't "play with your friends internationally whenever you want, no restrictions" a freaking huge selling point?
Again Anet manages to transform one of my long-awaited features into something I don't care about at all. Dammit.

Not that I remember. They said play with your friends, sure, but I don't recall them saying it would work internationally.
Reddit is saying they did at first, but clarified that pretty quickly. There's no way I'll be able to find a source for that, though.
Actually, the tutorial with lots of skills is the greatest thing ever. Here's why.
You get a feel for how the class will play BEFORE you play it and invest time. In that respect, it's a really great idea. Much like how you can jump into Spvp to try out classes if you want. It should become a standard.
Yeah, what's your account name? The Name.#### thing.

Thing is you only get a feel for it inasmuch as you can take the time to learn the skills they give you and which buttons produce them. Essentially I wish I hadn't wasted the time doing it and I really don't think I was intended to, I was just being dumb and not realizing it was all going to be taken away. It's not like I was able to learn anything about playing the class well or try out different skill combinations, like you can when you go into sPvP and play with the training dummies. Furthermore in SPVP in GW2 you get to keep all that stuff if you want to actually really play, right from the beginning. If there was any mode or area of the game that offered that in TERA I'd play the crap out of it.
Damn, my guardian is a norn.
Same...they added guesting but you can't guest from Euro to North America so it's pretty useless...
Anyone have any idea what they will charge to World transfer...?
I remember seeing something like 1800 gems back during launch, but I have no idea if that amount will still be true in the future.

Another 'Event'?
No one knows right now, but they did post some rules on guildwars2.com.
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/guesting-is-coming/
It's going to vary.
You can send an in game mail to any of the officers! No need to wait and see someone online.
The effect doesnt work when you are firing it. Only works at night or underground while sheathed.
yeah, i think long bow is bugged too. Other weapons work (my sword/dagger does)
They know about the bug too, they just haven't' fix it yet

I'm going to try and watch this for sure. Hopefully they give out some new info about what they are working on.
I'll post the Q&A thread so we can post some questions, but I doubt they'll answer any that are decent (most of these Q&A questions end up being things most of us already know).
That is, assuming the guys working on my furnace don't overload a transformer, causing it to explode again (third transformer's the charm?) and kill the power in my whole apartment.
Live stream is starting in 2 minutes!
http://www.twitch.tv/guildwars2
http://www.twitch.tv/guildwars2
Details from the Live Stream (Very short)
Achivements
- New Achievement System
- Adds new styles of gameplay to the achievements that encourage cooperative play, such as resurrecting each other.
- More monthly achievements like the Jumping Puzzle one, which encourage players to return to lower level zones.
- Achievements will adds another method to get ascended gear.
- Over 100 new achievement rewards to show off the cool things you've done.
Guild Content
- 4 or 5 different styles of content that guilds can help kick off and build excitement about what's going on on the map.
- More Guild Influence rewards, cool things for guild members to show off that they're part of these guilds.
Dungeons
- Making changes to dungeons so you can't Waypoint Zerg / Res-Rushing.
- Lightening up some of the encounters as a result.
- Those two items will be in the next update.
- This is phase one, phase two of the dungeon revamp will increase difficulty but add better rewards and content, to make the encounters more interesting.
LFG
- Adding LFG system, not just for dungeons but across the entire game for all activities. This feature is still "A little bit further off", but they know we want them and are working on it.
PVP
- Working on Leaderboards, Custom Arenas and matchmaking. More features to get new players into PVP.
- Before that, a 1 team vs. 1 team version of the tournament system where you don't need to form a whole team.
- Will be cheaper to start than the full tournaments, but rewards will be less as well.
- The barrier to entry will be lowered for these.
- A blog post will cover this in more detail.
WVW
- Looking into progression, character development and rewards. Want to make sure it is valuable.
- Culling tests have gone "really well", but still a lot more to do.
- More WvW and PVP-specific armor skins.
Class Balance / Weapons
- Balance in WvW and PvP: AOE damage feels too strong, a lot of people are gaming the system. Want to bring AOE power down a bit.
- Try to keep purity of purpose (only mesmer and thieves have stealth, but everyone has defensive mechanisms that are similar).
- A lot of classes have one or two viable builds, some have 4, 5, 6 builds, they want to bring the others up to par.
- All the weak weapon skills and traits need to be brought up. Still some bugs to fix.
General
- ArenaNet does not give dates or specifics on things because MMOs are large and complex and new things can sometimes screw old stuff up, so while they want to talk about stuff, they wait until they are 100% sure these things work.
Stream is over for now, they will be doing a Q&A in an hour and a half or so.

I was like, it's not THAT bad.. but 100 charged lodestones that's rough. You could think of it as a mini-legendary to work toward!
Is that the frost bow skin, btw?
