you bet, better get your blade ready. just in case.
That is not dead which can eternal lie.
bubbles reinforcement.
I'm going in with the expectation that they're just not going to explain it.
Safe money's on this.

Kiel was never an aetherblade, at least as far as we know.
bad interpretation of mine then, was going around the wiki, it said she was captain of a former aetherblade airship.
:v i thought she was captain of a aetherblade crew.
Based on the short story they posted during the Cutthroat Politics update, she was orphaned early in a shipwreck, from which she was rescued by Magus the Bloodhanded. I would imagine she grew up in Lion's Arch under his supervision and joined the Lionguard from there.
Not exactly; during the events of the "Sky Pirates" update, we captured one of the Aetherblade airships after the last fight. Magus bought it and signed it over to her so she could run for the Captain's Council (one of the requirements being that you need to captain a ship). I dunno if she's ever actually set foot on it, to be honest.
I think the misunderstanding comes from the fact that she took Mai Trin's aetherblade ship in order to become a captain and enter the running for the empty captain council's spot.
So, theoretically, she's currently the captain of an aetherblade ship, but she's not an aetherblade.
Technically, the Aetherblades stole their airships from the Pact, so it'd be one of theirs.... though the Aethers certainly made some distinctive modifications.
By the looks of them, I'd say the inquest did more of the modifying. Weird that we don't really see much of the inquest tied to them now. The connection has been dubious other than in the actual hideout.
If anything, it's important to note that Scarlet had ties to the Inquest, which might have played a part in connecting the atherblades with the inquest.... but I think that's a bit to logical to see mentioned in the game anytime soon.

I don't peruse wiki's and I haven't done the funhouse so correct me if I'm wrong here but...
I don't think there IS any strong ties to the Inquest. Scarlets back story bascially outlined her as a lone force. She studied with the Inquest about as much as she studied with the other Colleges. Once she gained her so-called knowledge of the Eternal Alchemy she set off on her own where presumably she crossed paths with and either gathered or took control of what is now known as the Aetherblades.
She doesn't seem to have taken sides with any factions that were known pre-living story and instead appears to be the head of her own specific faction.
I wouldn't say that she's 'sided' with them, but it's possible that she could have pointed the aetherblades in the right direction, given that she knows the inquest and probably has connections inside.
Really!? Wont be home from work til 2 est or so, ill have to jump right in
Wow, EB is full right now... I am in the queue.

Always being told to go outside instead of playing video games.
I took the first part of that advice.

But the Aetherblades are doing her bidding. I think they were her primary force before the Watchknights. So I think all the Inquest looking stuff that the Aetherblades have are of her design. She's taken her knowledge from all the colleges and improved upon many of their inventions and gadgets.
I just don't think she's the type to connect two factions like that because I don't see her respecting anyone enough to do such a thing. And the Inquest are evil but after what she did to her last mentor/teacher before she disappeared.. I doubt any of them would really want to work with her.
Bannok is here since this morning, so I guess it's more him. Oh, yeah, he renamed his character King Bannok now...
Eh, so he used 200g for commander tag.

I always just assumed that since hes in a lower lv zone, that the story hasn't advanced as far as it has once you get to orr.

This is how i see it.
Was running a 15-man-ish havoc with BAEST around 5-6 AM EST if my conversion is right. We were running around in Borlis Pass BL because SBI was all blue and covered and Aleman had most of Darkhaven's stuff taken in EB. It felt like BAEST was doing their own thing with pugs in tow but every time we ran into an opposing group it was an automatic stack and blast finishers to 25 might. It was also the only time I felt safe jumping in face first as a hammer warrior.
At the time of my leaving, we had the two southern towers and the associated south camps and were working on taking their bay. Gotta take a quick peek at how it looks right now.
Well, if the re-appearance of the molten alliance is any indication, she was the one that put those two together. So it wouldn't be out of bounds if she "introduced" the inquest to the aetherblades.
Collection of info from Devon Carver on the new WvW seasons:
So what's important to take from this is there are rewards tied into this beyond a finisher that they'll talk about in a blog closer to the Season 1 start. That even if you're in a low tier WvW server, getting 1st in your Bronze league will yield better rewards for you over the server who got 6th in Gold because they gave up. Also, the finisher that is handed out won't be available if you don't defend your rankings each season.

You sacrifice 3 goats under the full moon on top of a blood stone and whisper hawkian's name three times.
We asked in Guild Chat how many people needed to do makeup missions, nobody answered. It being a holiday weekend in the US, there's a lot of folks off doing stuff.
Or was there something else that was supposed to happen?
Just so it's clear, there is absolutely no log in requirement for GAF. The "culling" is just a result of us bumping against the cap and needing space. If we could have 2000 members we'd allow anyone to be as inactive as they want or their lifestyle/entertainment choices demands.

They are a series of randomly selected mini dungeons that increase in difficulty and rewards the more you complete them.
Short answer is fractals are dungeons composed of 3 random sections every time you start one. They have a difficulty level you set when you go in that can be no higher than the highest "fractal level" someone has in your party. Under 80's are boosted to 80.
The re-live history thing is that some of the random fractals tie in to historical events. For example, you can
play as a group of Charr during the Searing from GW1
Thanks, I have no problem at all with the culling.
The Charr fractal takes place during the searing. Dunno about the others.
The invasion farmers on SBI sure are pissy. Had some freak out tonight because we had some people trying to get crystals away from their hoard. Invasions have become pretty awful in general it seems like. Hopefully ANet took notice of all the stuff.
