haha. just so u know wallach, ranger pet ai got buffed. They won't pull aggro of anything that isn't aggroed to u and now they'll try to attack the enemy from behind
Edit: Also a state of the server meeting for sbi is happening tmw at 2pm pst if anybody is interested.
Damn fine job taking CD Bay for a couple ticks tonight, GAF. That was fun as hell amd short-lived as it was it was beautiful seeing SBI on top with a 300+ tick.
Pretty impressed with Planetside 2 as well. Overwhelming as all hell (do they REALLY think those walls of text are adequate teaching tools?) but fun enough if you've got someone to follow and the core gameplay is pitch-perfect. More than anything they engine just blew me away, I can't wait to see EQ Next and the other games to follow that capitalize on it.

I'll need to read up on that. Their biggest problems though are hitting moving targets, F2 skill functionality being real buttcrap, and PvE survivability issues. I've never really been that sore on their AI, just how they generally suck when they're doing what they're supposed to be doing.
What? That should have been in from the start. I never knew that. Yeah, it definitely should not be blockable. That's just too good imo.
Haha, we took crazy advantage of that in the Bay assault yesterday, protecting our cata. But then again, they were doing it to protect theirs and it'd have been way easier to get theirs down too. It'll make placement much more strategic for sure.

Note that this is not a mod, it doesn't interact with the client in any way at all (it's limited as you would expect as a result, you have to do everything manually). You need to be in Windowed/Fullscreen Windowed mode to use it as well.
Basically it's like the tracker website + Dulfy's guides as an overlay on top of your GW2 window.
omg its amazingggggggg
get dunked on mesmers
Rather amusing if you consider the fact that Darkfall already bombed once and they had to redo the game. Then you consider no one outside of a VERY small niche is even going to touch it again and you tack on a sub fee (the devs actually said they think F2P/B2P is a fad) no one is going to be playing that game after a month.
I know they're talking about MMOs and probably even more specifically than that... but man it's hilarious to just interpret that as though they meant it literally.
when will nintendo come around and go back to charging a subscription for new Marios???
edit:
pity that sounds quite cool actually.
Game was not well-received though.

So it's just a Jumping Puzzle that multiple people in the guild have to finish?
No, it's not just jumping. There is actually very little jumping, at least in the Proxemics Lab.

oooh. Now I'm intrigued.
My build is pretty much useless now... I loved playing condition Mesmer, even if it was weaker than shatter or other builds. Bah.
If they nerf confusion that much, they should at least improve the Mesmer's ability to stack bleeds or add poison/burning to enemies. For example, make Illusionary Elasticity work on clones, remove vulnerability from Staff 1, something like that.

so i was checking the forum about komali stuff and this is all i got for an alternative strat in trying to boon strip him.
Can I/someone clear out the people on our "invited" list that don't log in. I've already sent mail to the three accounts that have character info/achievement points showing -- a reminder that they're still invited to the guild and that the UI doesn't reflect this.
Looking for an okay to proceed with clearing the invite list out.

I just switched up my spec like 3 weeks ago from one that was completely capable of that boon ripping technique to one that completely isn't anymore. /sigh I guess I can switch it once per week specifically for Bounties. I think it's free to respec in WvW so if that's the case then it shouldn't be a problem.
Though I may just level a second Thief specifically to have access to more than one build at a time. Just use the second one as a mule for account bound stuff.
Edit: Also I just spotted Retro in the Beer thread! I'm totally going to harass you now in Mumble with quality beer suggestions!

I think a lot of those are people who sent invites to their friends who never played, or people who asked for invites back but never bothered. Either way, if they want to be in GAFGuild, they'll ask for an invite back. Fire away. We're creeping up on 500 members again, if there isn't a "Last Played" option in this next update we're just gonna have to boot based on Played / Member status.
Lay em on me, I finally found a store with a decent selection here. I've got Dogfish Head in my backyard (almost literally, they're about an hour to the south), I think I'm doing pretty good. GAF recommended Belgian Whites in an older thread, so I grabbed a 4 pack of Allagash. Had a bottle last night, pretty good. I think I went and got myself hooked on the almost coffee-level bitterness of Dogfish Indian Brown Ale. Still, I like sampling different kinds, so recommend away.

Lol I was in a rush so I worded that wrong. I meant I was going to bug you for YOUR suggestions!
WvW takes your PvE trait build. Only SPvP gives you separate traits.

I'm aware. I'm pretty sure there's a respec guy in SBI Citadel that respecs for no cost.
Yeah theres a respec guy in Border waypoint and citadel but he takes a fee (at 80 3.5s?). Also WvW skills/traits should be different from PvE like how PvP is.
Cleared the list of invited people with unknown statuses. It looks a lot less unsightly for anyone that goes into that part of the guild screen now.
Doesn't change the fact that I still experience a slow down whenever I accidentally hit the guild key while running around doing something.

Psh, I'm hardly a decent source. I grew up with people who just buy whatever's cheapest, usually crap like Miller, Coors, etc., which is why I've always (and still do) prefer liquor to beer. But I do want to find a brand, or at least a type of beer that I prefer, so I'm trying a little of everything to zero in on my niche.
So far, the only thing I've determined is that American Brand name beers are off the table and the only way to do this properly is to dive into craft beers and Imports. Somebody on GAF recommended Bavarian or German white beer, so that's what I grabbed last time I was out. So far, it's good, but I think I prefer something a little hoppier.
.... we should probably take this to the beer thread or PMs.
GAF is so big we cause slowdown just by existing.
Semi-related: I don't think there are official records, but based on what I've seen I think ours is easily the largest and longest-lasting MMO Guild on GAF. They've never really managed to get a WoW one off the ground, I remember them trying to organize on Area 52 but so many people were reluctant to leave their established guilds and pay $25 to relocate their mains to a new server... funny.

Who knows. I just tried running through Lion's Arch with the screen up and my FPS dropped to the 24-30 range. It's normally somewhere between 55 and 63 now with SweetFX running.
I did it before once with steal + dodge, scorpion wire, but it is definitely tricky. If nobody attacks it is possible but I think that sometimes it really doesn't function as intended. Worth trying with the plank I suppose.
There is another way now using the achievements boards. Katoki can just go ahead and clear out the invites that are bugging him though.
edit: Thanks for doing so

My Guild is doing something stupid, they created an Alliance with other guilds, and all guilds in this alliance must help other guilds do guild missions, what took an hour now takes 3 1/2 , I help the guild do missions after I already have my coms for the week yet I was called selfish for voicing my opinion, I was only in it for myself, last night after we help one of the guilds to missions, 80% of their members bail, but I am a selfish member lol, the leader and the general take their roles very serious, they act like President and Vice Pres of the United States, it's game man it ain't that serious sheeeesh...
I never post in this thread but read it almost daily. A lot of neogaf guilds come and go but this one has really thrived and you guys seem like you're building a good community within the game. Anyway, I crafted Infinite Light last night and figured I would drop a couple of pictures here. For full album, click here.
Good luck to you guys as you move forward in your guild activities!

I get the whole "everyone helps everyone else out" aspect of that. Sucks that others bail after their shit gets done. I personally would hate the time investment required though, just going through the motions like that. Video games aren't supposed to be serious business.
We looked at this when they first came out and it wasn't reliable, though. There still isn't a fool-proof way to do it other than to cull the people we know haven't played in a while.
We're still 55 members away from the cap, but with an update right around the corner, we'll probably see our membership jump as usual.
You need a new guild. Might I suggest one of the GAF Persuasion?
Seriously though, Guild Alliances never work because inevitably the guilds try to remain autonomous and exploit / use the other members as much as possible. Everyone is still looking out for themselves but pretending they're helping each other. Inevitably they break down, usually with one guild absorbing people from another and usually one going belly up. It was worse back in single-guild MMOs when an alliance usually meant you were going to get your active members poached.
Easily the best-looking non-Legendary. Gratz. Did you want an invite to GAFGuild just for shits and gigs? You can still guest over unless you're in the EU.

Infinite Light not only looks great, but it's such a status symbol because it's easily as expensive to make as any Legendary out there that isn't the two legendary GS.
Edit: Also, the renamed S/D skill is called Larcenous Strike.

Thanks everyone! I got my lodestones primarily from converting cores from CoE, farming sparks (only a hand full in the grand total, really) or just buying them off the TP. I did some CoF farming but not as much as you might think. I think keeping the streams of income as diverse as possible kind of helped me stave off burn out.
Thanks for the offer! I'm kind of wrapped up in RL stuff and probably wouldn't be very active right now but would be interested in the future.

One day...
Clever. If they revisit the actual action/animation for it I'll give S/D another chance.
edit: Hm, Larcenous Strike+Steal + someone else doing a knockback = easier time with Komali?

They are addressing the animation both to make it more consistent and to fit with the new use of the skill.
