weekends are only time i have to do dungeons, so that doesn't work for me. maybe with lfg it'll be easier to quickly get going.
 
so what easy JPs are you guys doing for mats?

The two easiest jumping puzzles without eating WP costs are Urmaug's Secret in LA and the Under New Management in Southsun, which is very close to the Asura Gate. You could probably park any level 80 character near the chest and loot it daily.

Agree with Khold. I have two stacks of them from whenever they were put in and I'm not even sure how I got them. I just know they're a result of something or something from playing WvW on the karma train.

Edit: Kill camp supervisors. And tower lords.

I got to the icy area in World 2 Zone 2, no more continue coins left when I died. I feel like crying.

That's not even in Tribulation mode... I don't know if I'll have the patience to get the yellow zapper. =(
 
Is it better to level up all the crafting disciplines on my main and just switch between them or spread them all out over several alts? I don't really care about the extra xp and levels crafting would give my alts.

You can only have two professional active at any one point in time and it's costs gold to swtich them each time. I forget the amount but it varies as you level them. It will definitely eat away at your cash if you find yourself having to switch often.

40 silver to pick up a level 400 discipline you've dropped, I assume the price keeps going up (to 50s) if you level it to 500.

No, 230 is the goal.

Also I really wish there was some sort of way rank could be shared but rank points character specific or something. I'd glady play around with a front line War or Guard or a backline ele build if it didn't mean restarting at one. I feel the same way about fractal level. Ugh. So I guess I stay specialized.
 
Ah knockdowns and instant deaths; why aspire to anything higher than the cheapest and laziest way to make challenging content. Cough Liadri and W2Z2 cough.

My ranks aren't very high. I am around 50 on my ranger but I rarely go in WvW now with her. Switching off between Guardian, Mesmer, and Necro mainly now.

Went from 40 to 54 this weekend. With my spec now basically devoted to wubwub I expect that to improve quickly before league play starts.

I hate that freaking zone. I was doing it with my brother and we were leaving and coming back when we died. I died during the boss and I came back before the zone changed, but it didn't count. So now I have to do it again. :(

My thoughts on World 2 are...
2-1 is nice
2-2 can burn for all I care... (pre and post-nerf)
2-3 is way more fun than 2-2. Went through this one with a friend and thoroughly enjoyed it

also did zone2 yesterday. Was not an enjoyable experience. The assassins are so annoying to fight. The insta arrow deaths also got tiring after a while.


Also got my commander tag the other day. Totally worth it. Great for invasions, or running around orr rallying people to any event you're at. Had 10 - 15 people doing the champion and plinx on my tag. People want to group up to tackle things, and the commander tag even in pve, sorta acts as something they can latch onto.

Two nights in a row now I've lead Straits to victory at Balth. Feels good man.

I'm really glad they made them obtainable in wvw. I did mostly entirely dungeons and temples/events for my first vision crystal mats and wvw for the second (though wvw is not great for dragonite so a few temples needed.) Glad you can do wvw without an opportunity cost of not doing pve. Remember when ascended was locked to fractals and fractals only?

Re: Pvemanders. I dunno. I find myself being more and more annoyed by them over time. As long as they are used mostly for gathering and not barking out obvious dumb-shit "orders", it's mostly fine. I'm talking when commanders go "dps the [only target of the event]!" Or "turn away!" on lyssa's third stun period of the event. When people are already doing those things. And then follow up with a "great job guys!" . Dunno. Never seems genuine. And it:s not like most of the events really have any chance at failing, save grenth or potentially the balth escort.

Just a heads up: the Mumble server is currently down;
"Some customers may see downtime related to their service, we are currently applying some major security fixes to our systems to resolve issues related to DDoS attacks. We don't expect this to last longer than an hour."
Will post when it's back up.

For some reason I bought precision/Toughness/cond damage on my thief >.<

I also kind of find pistol/dagger kinda dull...
 
I use the DarkD3 as well but I have it setup not to darken at all, just sharpen. I like the color saturation in GW2 but enjoy the look of higher details (note, it's not that there are more details, just a boost in the sharpening gives everything more defined edges).

The only problem is that the increased sharpness can make some of the text look wonky if your monitor is set to an already higher than average sharpness.

Update on Mumble:
Edge of Reality was hit with a massive DDOS attack today, and everything is good and fucked up over there. They do a lot of game servers, not just mumble servers, so somebody probably got banned from some Battlefield of Duty 12 shithole and decided he and his 4chan buddies should get revenge or something.

EH.

Will post when it's up, we have a ticket in now.

Sorry for the double post; Mumble appears to be back up and running. I'm headed to bed, hopefully it's stable overnight. I'll be on tomorrow morning to sort things out if it isn't. As always, a big thanks to Ferny for helping to sort things out and basically running the damn thing for us all.

I've been trying to get it working for the last two hours after they tried to tell me it was a local issue. It obviously was not as everyone was having the same issue. Thankfully it seems to be stable now. Will check again in the morning.
