I think it actually takes place during the Foefire which is after the searing. When the Ascalon King turns all his people to ghosts.

Unless an event says [Group Event] or it's a giant world boss, it can ALL be solo'd.
Hmm. It could be for all I know. Just by the looks of the city it looked more akin to pre-searing's look compared to post searing's broken walls and stuff.
It was a fringe city, I think. The commander runs out saying "you'll never take ascalon. RAHHH"

CoF, SE, HotW, TA, a typical GAF power combo
Kos gonna Kos.

Pretty sure it's the searing. Been awhile since I paid attention, but I think the shaman you're protecting is setting up the cauldron.

Holy shit this is awesome since I messed up badly on my ability points.
Protip: Guard Leech and Guard Defense are the best. With each of those lines maxed you get:
+100 power
+100 condition damage
+250 Vitality
Provided you take a supply camp and tag all the guards obviously, but that shouldn't really be a problem
I guess the only other caveat is that it costs 115 ability points for each of them...which I'm guessing is quite a bit for most people in GAF. Not a big deal for me though.
Also nabbed this picture last night. Anyone ever seen more buffs at one time than this? Took up so much of my screen I had to turn Simple Party UI on lol. #T1 problems

You're forgetting the part where I suck at video games.
Wow, I'm impressed that you're that high of a level, although then again I have zero perspective on what an average players world rank is.
I'm never going to step foot into SAB at this rate...
So the new stomps are like trophies. Hype.

They are scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday evenings. 9pm Eastern Tuesday, 6:30pm Eastern Thursday. Also Sundays at 3pm. One of our fine officers will attempt to get them going.
Edit: Tuesday is patch day...

The average quality of boss design will significantly increase on Tuesday, when the big fuck you to balanced, satisfying difficulty design and worst boss in GW2, aka Liadri, will be gone, hopefully forever.

If I buy a 9th character slot to make a Norn Warrior because their tier 2/3 cultural amour is amazing, that would be really stupid, wouldn't it? :/
Give us another heavy armour class dammit.

It's never going to happen, is it?
I have two warriors and two guardians...because both times I decided Norn looked cooler and rerolled. Yes, it's really stupid.
And wooooorrrth it
It took every ounce of strength to not leap over and save him.

When I run the dungeon with true dungeon masters like Hawkian, we never hide in a corner, we face our foes head on.
This made me laugh more than it should have. <3 Kos.
Is today the last day to grab the Clockwork Chaos achievements?

You are meant to dissuade me!
One nice thing about this game is that I could have two warriors with radically different builds and skill sets and they might as well be different classes.
I really like the idea of a build that users banners.
This is inevitable, isn't it?

I love that pic. in one screen shot, it captures our entire se1 run last night. So fun.
Everyone skips that part because if you do you shave off like 5 minutes of mobs. I'm pretty sure hawk was the one that showed me.
Yarrr matey, there be a guild +15% karma boost off the port bow, freshly activated this morning, arr.
I don't know why I typed that like a pirate.

Seems to be pick on Kos week. That's cool. Can't wait till tomorrows update so you can waste your time in SAB and I do not have to see your characters in Tyria.
Sure, just show up at the regularly scheduled times and speak up and we'll attempt to get everybody who needs them their comms. For those who are new that is:
(All times eastern)
Sunday: 3:00PM, open session
Tuesday: 9:00PM, challenge/rush
Thursday: 6:30PM, bounty/puzzle
Pulling off a challenge might be tricky tomorrow with the new shiny, but with a group of 9 or more I'm always willing to try.
Haha, aw <3
Haha, I mean the patrol can be easily skipped but it doesn't cost THAT much time to just kill them either. sounds like there was comedic value in watching that run either way.
I'm not certain, is killing Liadri a requirement for it or not?
I should spend some time in there today, I'll miss the gauntlet.
I just joined GAF yesterday after finally having time to play again. I'm currently on Sorrow's Furnace, should I make sure to guest SI every time I play, or consider a permanent switch?
I have 105 jugs stashed, as well as some karma boosters.
Will the boosters stack or should I just use one, and where's port bow?!
If you like Sorrow's Furnace, just remember to guest over when you want to join the people in SBI. Otherwise there is no real need to guest to begin with.
Thanks.
And I really do want to get into WvW more, I'll think about switching once I'm able to contribute more on that front.

I'm lvl62 now and am getting ever so closer to lvl80. I'm noticing with every 10 levels, my character is getting cooler armor and I like it.
Btw, is their any dyes that are close to the black dye or abyss dye? I would get the black or abyss dye but they're super rare and cost over 12 gold.

Midnight Ice is very close, though on heavy armor it can be very blue-ish. On leather, it's surprisingly a darker color than black or abyss. Unfortunately, it runs about the same price as black dye, 13g48s right now.
Look into Charcoal, Iron and all of the other "Midnight _____" dyes.

Do whatever you want, but I find just black dye to be terribly boring. it's like the dye color for people who want to look cool but don't want to experiment with the millions of dye combinations. You can get a much more cool and unique look for a whole lot cheaper if you play with the dyes a bit.
This is absolutely true too; black is good as an accent color at best. The only character I actually have close to all black is my thief. I'm using the CM armor skins which have some metallic bits and a sort of 'wing' design on the coat that's naturally lighter. So even though I'm using Midnight Ice, there's still a lot of shapes and textures going on just with reflections. Where things sort of looked like big black blobs, I used red to punch it up. I still need to run CM for the boots, since they're thigh-high they'd make her legs stand out much more than they do with the armor she has (which is a pretty common skin). I figure as a thief being in dark colors is appropriate, but all black? No thanks.

Alrighty, been lazy this weekend and now I gotta make 15-20 gold from the invasions today to get to my goal ... gonna take a shower and run the gauntlet.
As for dyes ... The dye pricing is sooo strange. Basically if you want any dye that's not black or white you can get it for a decent price. Hate seeing full black gear though ... looks terrible most of the time.

Oh yeah, took this screenshot last night and meant to post it, but completely forgot.
I'm going to miss seeing these balloons and aetherblade airships all over the horizon. I guess I'll just have to take SAB as a consolation prize.
Still be able to see the ships in invasion zones bro
Yeah, but it won't be as widespread as it was during the Jubilee / Clockwork Chaos phases. Don't get me wrong, I want the Living Story to keep moving, I just like that the landscape was dominated by these highly visible elements. That kind of stuff is fantastic and I'd love to see more stuff like that in the future.
"Pitch" is the ultimate poor man's black imo.

Thanks for the suggestions folks. I'll look into the midnight dyes and that pitch dye. Also that thief looks awesome, I can't wait until I get the cooler looking armor later on.
Was just going to say this. Pitch or Graphite both look very dark on metallic pieces; Charcoal is also a good choice for non-metallic pieces, as are some of the "Midnight" series of dyes (Green/Yew look almost as dark as Abyss on some pieces).
Well, if anything, it seems they've learned a lot about mass scale, single map events through Clockwork Chaos. Would have been nuts to have all three dragons upgraded at once, for variety's sake. One disadvantage of a faster release cycle is that we're all shuffled to basically one event for two weeks, rather than having a wealth of new content everywhere.
Holy shit fail rewards too? fuck awesome!
Um, called it? I know you all heard me in mumble yesterday.
