anyone got a good sweetfx preset
Has GW2 influenced anyone to go back and play GW1 for the first time? I spent yesterday down a dark rabbit hole of Wooden Potatoes lore videos that made me really want to go see some of those places for myself. Potentially acquiring some of the HoM rewards would be a good bonus.

You will hate how it plays.
Does it play as poorly as the sequel?
I think this is the one Thorgal recommended to me, I use a slightly tweaked version: http://sfx.thelazy.net/games/screenshot/4058/
This one is kinda similar but more subtle: http://sfx.thelazy.net/games/screenshot/11203/

Eh maybe. I still play EQ1 to this day, so I don't mind antiquated mechanics. Not being able to jump is a bummer though.

Pretty much.
Looks like Hawkian did it yesterday, I'm not sure why it would have been changed in the first place. Either way, I don't believe Influence is shared across servers so you would have been fine, and claiming towers in WvW is the whole reason we have that rank.
Looks like Etiolate hooked you up with an invite, but you haven't accepted yet. Remember to click "Represent" in the guild panel, and welcome to SBI.
I would, but I don't have EotN so I wouldn't be able to get any of the rewards. I'm sure my characters have a few years worth of minis I could get for some quick points.
Yep. It's not combined yet, but I think eventually it will be. The intent for Mist Warriors is that they can cap towers whenever they want/need to. Also Mist Warriors have the ability to activate guild upgrades, so they can turn on WvW buffs (usually +5 supply unless something else is ready) when needed.
Also bank space!
I'm thinking of making the Light of Dwayna for my Warrior's back piece since the base version is cheaper to make than I thought (or at least I think it is). I didn't realise it needs 500 Armorcrafting which will cost me something like 100G to get to though. Hmm.
I need to get it to 400 at least anyway though.. and I guess I will probably start doing Ascended armour at some point.

Ah, I didn't know there was a community thread for Guild Wars 2. Will have to keep an eye on this. I read the OP but can't access anything involving the Guild, dunno if anyone already knows that or not though.

Yeah, the host for the guild forums is down - though this thread is pretty much the primary place guild members talk about how pretty their Asura are, so don't worry, you're in the right place.
There is zero verticality to GW1. And even when there is, like a bridge over a ravine, it's faked (there is no Z-height). If an AI is under a bridge and you're on top of it, no matter the distance, they can hit you. There's no need for a jump in GW1 though, since it's more an RTS than anything else. You'll be managing a squad of up to 8 characters, and the maps are generally just big, flat areas with hills to funnel you.
I actually went back and finished all the GW1 campaigns again after spending a year in GW2 - it's still good fun, provided you can get someone to help you with a few things, like collecting the skills you need to be able to cheese your way through the game with specific builds, like everyone else.

Check out this cool fan-made music video covering Season 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gHsliMTzhg&app=desktop
Damn, Season 1 was cool.
Also, seen on reddit, someone asked: "I stopped playing just before Living World season 1. I was in full exotics. How long will I have to play now to catch up gear wise?"
Was really glad to see the replies: "You're caught up. Log in and enjoy!".
I do not miss the tier grind.

Basically our current webhost is shit and we're waiting for the bandwidth to reset so we can grab the latest database and migrate somewhere else. They've been horrible.
Same. I really disliked feeling like I could never stop and play another game because A). I was paying $15 a month, I needed to get my money's worth and B). I had to keep playing, often farming content, to make sure I had the gear I needed so I could raid, etc.
I've been playing Starbound a bit lately, and watching TV on our new furniture. I dictate how I play GW2, not the other way around. I don't miss feeling obligated to play, especially when so much of it felt like menial labor just to maintain my gear score. Blech.

Who is ready to cleanse Ascalon of its ghosts?

I just hope they either replace the ghost mobs in Ascalon if we're truly going to see the curse end or it's written in a way that makes sense to not see that.
I think a completely reworked set of dynamic events in the early Ascalon areas could be really neat. But maybe that's setting hopes too high.

Hey guys, could you re-add me to the guild. Spehornoob.1745. Thanks!

I *seriously* doubt the ghosts in Ascalon are going to be permanently removed. There are just way too many personals story missions, DE chains, and hearts tied to them. But I am curious to see what's going to happen tomorrow.

Now that you mention it, I would if it would be possible to recreate the Ghostbusters crew in GW2, as Charr.

As far as I know, there will be no changes to Dry Top, nor any expansion to it. So you should be safe. I actually finally found the last two coins I needed last night, and they were practically in plain sight.

I don't know the spoiler policy, but trailer spoilers/speculation:
I think Rytlock is gonna fuck up somehow. Removing the ghosts from Ascalon would be a pretty big undertaking for one update. Since it's said only one of royal blood can free Ascalon of it's curse, I think Rytlock will try and find a way around that rule and mess things up somehow.

What if: instead of removing the ghosts, he frees them of the area and now there's ghosts *everywhere*. And then for the next Mad King event... we have to put them all back in the Catacombs.
I just tried adding you and got "The e-mail address you entered was not found."

What if: Rytlock becomes Charrdelbern and ends up turning all the Charr into ghosts for eternity?
shysaursoft

Feels good to be back on that two week schedule, huh? In terms of the frequency of content, for an MMO, we're truly spoiled.
Personal Story wouldn't have to be changed as that takes place in the past.
shysaursoft
Member
Tomorrow's (Part 1) and then Part 2 in two weeks, then break.
True. But we're still talking about two zones worth of DE's and hearts that'd be kind of weird, if they're left unchanged after Foefire is ended.

I thought so, darn it's going quick.
Hi, could I get an invite to the guild? My name is Kimaka.3147. I haven't played in about a year and a half and so many things have changed.
I just mentioned in guild chat and an officer has sent you an invite
Be sure to accept it and then in the guild panel (G) press the Represent button.

So many new/returning people! Remember, if you have any questions at all, feel free to ask them here (most likely to get a response) or in Guild Chat (depending on time of day, people might be busy or offline).
Any chance you could mean 1375? I added "Spehornoob" after what you posted here didn't work, and that's what it connected to.
IMO whatever Rytlock is doing isn't actually going to work. From a sheer development standpoint, the undertaking it would require in order to rework that much content in that many zones is just insane.
