Turn your graphics down to improve your frame rate, then camp by the fire until some poor schmuck races in blindly. It'll reset shortly and then you can hop on up the path that doesn't disappear quickly (if you have lots of schmucks attempt it, you can see there's a couple columns that hardly disappear at all).

I feel they moved the camera way to close during the disappearing presents part.
Take Retros advice and you will be ok the rest of the way.

Nah the beginning is easy. After I posted that I made it, lol. The presents part is EZPZ once you figure out you can jump to the first presents that appear before the blue "bar" appears at the bottom. Most won't pop until after that happens, which is how I got it easily.
Nah bro! For me, I found the best thing for the presents is to be first, and keep jumping straight ahead. Probably works 90% of the time for me
Y'all are crazy, jumping on those gifts without waiting for them to reset. Oh well, if you finished you finished. In other news, HOLD ON TIGHT, HERE WE GO AGAIN!

I don't disagree. Hopefully instead of a straight up nerf, they improve the viability of other stat distributions... that said, the 'zerker mentality has gone on for so long and has been so predominantly negative that even if they do take the nerfbat to it, it won't bother me too much.
Wouldn't the solution be to make conditions more viable? That way you equally divide people's attention between either going condition, dps, or condition control. That would also have the side effect of making condition control (support) builds more necessary.

Hope for this more rather than just making the zerkers not as effective. I don't think people should get penalized for finding the most optimal way to play even if it's not what I want to play.
Absolutely, but they've said in the past that condition stacking / conditions on objects are a limit of the tech that they have to either work around (which is what they have been doing) or address at a more technical level than they can do right away.
Making condition damage viable on the same level as straight DPS would be the ideal solution though, and I hope they're working on it.
You just say that because you're from Canadia and want them to add hug damage so everyone gets along.
The Guild Lottery. Another sizable donation this week has it over 500g again.

Sent Hawkian my 5g.
So, something has been frustrating the hell out of me.
I try to play WvW and follow the commander around, but 2 things happen.
1) I can never catch up to them and I get cherry picked by the enemy, wasting 10-15 minutes of running
2) I finally catch up to the group but everyone seems to run faster than me no matter what.
I'm a D/D ele with all of the speed traits including Signet of Air, and I pop swiftness at every opportunity.
ARGGGGG
Also, does one need to be present to win lottery? I would like to be around for missions but might miss it.

No, there's a 10g door prize for being in attendance, but the actual lottery can be won by anyone.

Definitely this. Buffing the other stat combos is waaaay more interesting than nerfing one. I'm not so sure there really is a problem with zerker though.
Indeed, as noted, somehow due to another very generous guildie donation we are back at a 500g+ jackpot tonight. I promise they aren't always gonna be like this people, so get in while the gettin' is good.
The only thing anyone needs to be present for on Sat. mission nights is the 10g door prize (which is only available to show-up-ers). But come anyway 'cos it's fun. Plus karka queen slayage is likely!
Buy you tickets now if you can; if you can't, post here and I will spot you for however many you want. In the future, you can buy tickets for the next drawing as soon as the previous jackpot has been delivered to the winner.

I went back from my previous Frozen Hammer Guardian build to my Shining Justice build. It was a temporary thing for Wintersday anyway, using the Grenth hood as the impetus.
Avatar of Grenth, Frozen Hammer Ashodin
This was how I looked for all of December really.
Build was based off Glacial Hammer trait, using Grenth elite and Grenth runes to trigger chill VERY often (I was surprised how often!). Very satisfying to see your enemies just slowwww.... downnn...
The addition of the Hammer to the mix was pretty fun, and nice to use another weapon as my main for a while.
Shining Justice Guardian, Ashodin
My look just before I switched, I tried to find a nice "inbetween" look from the newest awesome armor set and T3 Human. This is what I came up with, with the Healing Power Ascended GS thrown in.
Build is 20/25/0/0/25, taking advantage of many boons and keeping burning up as long as possible with Scepter/Torch as the backup. With three strikes = burn, this build is better than ever.
I will miss teleporting to my enemies as the Hammer Guardian though. (Using Judge's Intervention) That is hella fun.

The reasoning behind Scepter/Torch is to facilitate range-necessary options, yeah. This way I don't have to switch between fights. Scepter also can trigger Burn VERY fast with Smite.
Good to know. Thanks! I'll probably get on before the drawing and rush is over at least.
My Ele is now 72. Getting close. Also good to know my hoarding of non-gold currency will pay off and let my gear the crap of of him at 80.
To Kos, sorry I had to bolt at ghost busters. Hope you guys were able to finish.

We gave up because it was getting close to 6 and both me and my friend Stiellan had to leave. Don't worry about it, thanks for helping.
I am awesome thanks for recognizing, for saying that you are just as awesome.
We are the blue team so we are winning.
There's still time? I'll pop on.

New video up, a Guide on how to play a DPS/Support Guardian.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBnpyQrOuDo
Edit: Had to post a new version since the last one had a bit of time in the beginning since had a huge gap until I started explaining the role.

Where's the video where two Spirit Rangers roll up on you and you flip the fuck out and fall out of your chair? Cuz that's the best damn thing ever.
That is so fantastic.
"Awww, here comes the petting zoo!"
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?! SHIT SHIT!"

Good run tonight everyone. Sorry about the double DC during Puzzle.
Gratz to Beeklematter on the 10g door prize and Armitage Ironshanks (Jonesy au) on the 645g jackpot!
Jackpot winner only bought 3 tickets, so remember to buy in to win.
Hardly your fault! Sorry we couldn't get you through.

Congrats to the winners tonight! Once again I was unable to attend the missions tonight.
I have an idea on the lottery jackpot btw. If we get another big donation to drum up interest for people playing, maybe we should spread out the gold on multiple jackpots to help keep interest in it for longer.
Say, have 3 weeks of 200 gold jackpots instead of a single 600g. Just food for thought.

Probably the same time we get a mostly-underwater zone. It's worth noting that the world map DOES have "Surface", "Upper Level" and "Underground" levels, though as far as I can tell they don't do much beyond showing different layers in Divinity's Reach. That seems like they kind of future-proofed having zones that appear above or below each other... or maybe I'm reading too much into it.
