Can't wait until the content goes live later. Gonna be returning to Tyria after a two-month long absence. Add me, guys, I'll feel lonely (everyone I know at school has stopped playing). Derezzer on Stormbluff.

 

[GLopez12]

Two-month absence? The game came out less than two months ago.

 

[leng jai]

Anyone got any good PvE mesmer builds they'd recommend?

Condition staff + sword/focus build.

You guys so technical about timing. Close to two months. Played for really only a few days after launch, maybe 3. Almost two months.

You sound like a perfect candidate to join (or rejoin) the guild!

ETA?

I got confused thinking it was launching on the 22nd in the UK as well, but obviously not!

I don't think we have an exact time, but they said it should be sometime after Midnight GMT.

From the GW2 Forums:

We understand that you’re all impatient for the Halloween update to go live.

As stated on the event page, the Halloween event will go live on October 22, Pacific Time.

As previously messaged earlier today, it will go live later this evening on October 22.

It is an involved process to push a game update to the live servers, so a lot of care must be taken to ensure quality.

Thanks for your patience and understanding. (Source)

That means it could theoretically be as late as 2:59am Eastern.

 

[Dead Prince]

should have pushed the update out earlier.

 

[Queen of Hunting]

same thing that Rob said about dungeon loot is also true in open world. I recently started looking at this and its literally such a bad chance of getting good loot from those big world bosses. Champions as well, the numbers are just too low. The Halloween patch is just too close to put this in and test it, but we are also working on improving this.

awesome

[Piecake]

Well, now i dont feel bad about watching the debate and doing other things (too sleepy to play)

Any news what the first event is going to be or is it a surprise?

 

[etiolate]

Well it's coming now. They just kicked us out of WvWvW.

Guardians, like engineers and eles, can no longer weapon swap.

[nicoga3000]

[Piecake]

Im still waiting on my option to dual wield quaggans that shoot lazer beams of love

Guardian changes seem...Very nice. I am excite.

 

[Lulubop]

Not really.

 

[Achtius]

Argh, black lion key

 

[Piecake]

Argh, black lion key

Yea, was pretty excited about the Black lion chests getting some cool stuff, then i realize i dont have any keys and dont want to buy em

So, im going to sell all the ones i got

 

[nicoga3000]

I can't log into my Guardian. She's in Gendarran Fields. My Necro loads up in Straights of Devastation just fine.

Sounds like a nerf.

 

[Piecake]

They delete the class

 

[pyrandes]

Scepter Skills: Projectile skills for the scepter have had their velocity increased by 33%.

this could be interesting; i'll need to test this out to see what comes of it for condition bombin.

 

[Giard]

Lion's Arch is so pretty

 

[Ken]

Someone post what the costumes look like!

 

[etiolate]

Another Phantasm CD increase. No trait fix. Grr

 

[Boss Doggie]

Wait, there are people hating on us engies?

and guards remain slow as shit.

 

[inky]

Mad king's, Witch, Phantom hood. First one has particles in the head and arms, the face in the hood lights up. I think you can ride the broom too.

Gem prices are through the roof as expected and I assume will only go up.

 

[Ken]

Oh man they all look pretty cool. I sure wish we had separate set of equipment for cosmetics instead of having to transmute.

 

[Giard]

Goddamn at those gem prices.

Used the only key I had... the chest had transmutation stones.

Ooooh, Elementalist buffs. Not a lot of major buffs, but a bunch of small buffs (or bug fixes) to Dagger/Dagger skills. The only real nerfs are finally fixing skills that were obviously bugged. And those downed state skill changes.... oh my. Not being able to stack vulnerability more than twice is a bit disappointing, but I'll accept that for the rest of the changes. I'm definitely going to die a lot less.

Edit: Looks like it adds 2 stacks of vulnerability per hit, and not a cap of 2 like I thought. So its just a straight buff. I'm okay with this.

 

[Boss Doggie]

What are candy corn for?

Also I take it that the achievements for bosses won't update if you've killed them before?

 

[Ken]

1.14g per 100 gems ahhahahaha.

Costumes aren't great and I must be missing something but the ones in cash shop are only town clothes and not transmutable?

there are the weapons

 

[Ken]

Don't really care about those.

 

[darkwing]

so who else got rich buying gems low a few days ago and selling them now
