Just did CoF P1-3.
Had no idea what was going on, everyone ran as fast as they could to the boss, killed it and moved on to the next.
I guess this is what it's like in the end-game dungeons
Use LFG tool and write that you want to go slow and watch all the cutscenes. I am sure you will get like-minded people who won't rush through it.
I'm nervous, but not because I'm afraid they'll nerf my precious warrior. Of skills I use, I would guess they might only nerf Eviscerate and Pin Down. Hell if anything they may buff mace/shield. I may be able to squeeze in a live viewing.
Either that or ask for Gaf people to help out .
I really hope you can play with us one day :/Just did CoF P1-3.

if you are using the LFG tool, make sure to make your own group and say "First time, good listener
" or something and you at least won't just get dragged along without any explanationHe's stuck in EU-zone ;_;

I hope so too!
I was going to transfer, but then I thought about time differences, what events would be like and stuff like that. And to make it "worse", it seems like when I began playing, I reignited a friends urge to play the game. I would get him to transfer with me, but he plays a lot with his younger brother.
I wish they had guesting cross-realms. :|

Slighty off topic but I was wondering if someone could help me... This problem occurs in every game but I'll use GW2 as my example:
If you're wondering why the images are taken from a phone, well because apparently this issue is not caught in screenshots.
Windowed Fullscreen:
Fullscreen:
Not sure how many of you will notice, but in the Fullscreen images, the text and character seem... rounded and almost fading at the edges.
I have an AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series card, and this issue has been annoying me for a while. Wondering if anyone in the guild is a tech guru and could explain how to fix this...
That almost looks like some driver-forced edge smoothing, but I don't use AMD cards so I couldn't say for certain.
After googling to find it, it turns out the screen isn't as small as I thought it was, it was the D600, but still

Definitely use the LFG tool and either look out for newish player runs or list your own. I'd offer to show you them but I just noticed Hawk's comment that you are on EU servers
Which time zone are you in and what kind of times do you typically play? Specifically at the weekend. I'm an EU player but I don't sleep so it doesn't affect me hehe.

CEST/GMT+2. Maybe it's not that bad? I play around 20:00-24:00, 8-12PM if you prefer. (This is weeks where I have my daughter, every other week I play more)

I'm not sure about AMD cards, but my Nvidia card doesn't do that. The in game FXAA wouldn't affect the UI and text, either, so even if you did use FXAA it wouldn't be the issue.
The SMAA injector does do that to text. I use it for Windowed Fullscreen, because FXAA is an abomination and needs to die a horrible death. Are you using it, or any other injector like sweetFX?
I'm not too sure, honestly. If it was an injector it should do it both in fullscreen and windowed fullscreen, I would think. But the overall effect looks identical to what the SMAA injector does to my UI and text.
Hmm. I'm GMT, or maybe it's currently classed as GMT+1 with daylight savings. During the daytime the guild is quite quiet obviously due to time difference but the later it gets the more active. You're something like 6 hours ahead of a typical GAF member so you'd be catching folks coming on mid afternoon to early evening, of which there are a fair few. Main guild missions take place on Saturdays at 2am my time which I'm guessing is 3/4am your time which wouldn't be practical, however make up missions are 6 hours earlier on Sundays which I think you could catch, would be 9/10pm. But I'm just guestimating time zone stuff here.
The guild will always have people online at pretty much any hour of the day, it's just weighing up whether it's worth the transfer for you personally.
I've been to Texas! Brownie points to me for no reason please.
No, but I'm using something similar, however this issue persists in games where I'm not using it.
Edit: I think I may have just fixed it..
Was it the East District Court aka the notorious patent troll court?
BTW Texas is a nice place in general.

@Retro/Jira, you guys doing a new thread for the 2nd Anniversary of GW2?
my circuits are pristine
"where's the expansion?"
On the ball.
hah, the motherboard really was totally shot. most likely defective (unable to flash BIOS at all). not that I'm gonna try again. should be all computational again tonight anyway
Fingers crossed that is the last of your issues! We need our missing leader to complete the trio again.
Ooh, what date is it's anniversary?
Even thought I haven't had any sweet, lucky drops in GW2 recently, I just happened to notice that something in my Dota 2 item collection which I traded around £18 worth of stuff for a few months ago, is now worth £90. So as they say in the UK, quids in!
Stream is live: http://www.twitch.tv/guildwars2
Not sure. Last year we kind of pushed ours out early, then they released an Official one, and I think a lot of sites like Time.com / MMORPG / Massively used ours to make a big fuss and when the official one followed shortly after and it was like.... the ship had already sailed.
I asked Rubi if they wanted us to wait so we weren't stepping on their toes (especially since their data would be better), but that was a few months ago and she wasn't sure what their plan was. I suppose I could ask again.
Edit: Oh, a thread? Probably not. The first anniversary was a big deal because the Living Story was something no other major MMO had done before and celebrating that huge glut of content was the objective there. I feel like every time a GW2 thread crops up on gaming side, there's a 50/50 chance it gets flooded with hate.
Headstart was August 25th, launch was 28th.

I'm sure someone will have the full notes, but here's what I noticed during the Warrior preview:
- Warrior Greatsword getting nerfed (100 blades and whirlwind damage down 5%), but Arcing Slice now hits 5 targets in an AOE and causes additional damage to targets below 50% hp.
- Whirling Axe getting buffed (17% more damage, shorter CD).
- Rifle auto-attack no longer bleeds, generates more adrenaline.
- Changes to Adrenaline (now decays as soon as you leave combat, still spent if you miss) and banners (Dash no longer has an attack, now removes crippled and chilled).
- Signet of Rage boons nerfed, adrenaline generation buffed. Rampage buffed.

Dat warrior nerfbat.
Reset time varies by timezone.
Been a long time coming and seems fair to me. Arcing Slice sounds much better now too, I never particularly cared for that.
Love the update to Whirling Axe, I use that a lot already.
Some of those trait changes sound good though.
Wow, they've already run the balance segment (twice).
Thief dagger cleaves! Black powder nerfed QQ! Choking gas unstealths QQ. Sword evasion builds nerfed to require more skill. Thief immobilize GM trait nerfed. Thief increased pistol range, not bad.
Burst skills use adrenaline if they miss and decay faster out of combat; fair enough. Brawler's recovery now removes a condition on swap. GS skills nerfed in damage but burst skill buffed. Boon duration of signet of rage nerfed, but adrenaline gain improved. Warrior rifle AA no longer bleeds. Warrior sword torment duration nerfed. Warrior axe #5 buffed. Mace AA 3rd part quicker (yay). Berserker's stance nerfed in terms of adrenaline gain.

As someone running a tanky Hammer/Mace+Shield Warrior, the reduced cast time for the mace pleases me.
Does anyone think ANet is trying to nerf pure DPS builds in general?

None of the thief changes affect me other than the dagger autoattack which is a huge buff, black powder which whatever, I once had someone tell me thief was a boring class because of how that skill worked, and Flanking Strike for PvP which was really not being used as intended. I never run Ricochet or Panic Strike and I didn't even know you could use choking gas from stealth :-X
Curious how the changes to Venomshare builds are going to work. It all depends on the scaling I guess whether this was a nerf or a buff if you build for it... I hope the fix Basilisk Venom for PvE regardless.
Biggest change to how I play is a buff to my main damage build! Kindly step to the left Ashodin!

Nah, for Ranger they are buffing GS damage and giving a new +10% damage trait.
Edit: To try not to be misinterpreted, all I mean to say is that the balance changes for rangers was almost entirely favorable for the current crop of dps builds for it. It's not some a crusade against dps in general.
Rekt my prediction of thief doom
Also whirling axe buff make Amanda happy female charr
She'll love the rifle adrenaline boost too!
So the changes on venom sharing interests me. If the players will now use the thief's condition damage, does that mean Guardian virtue of justice burn share will do the same? If so, awesome!

Black Powder is the most deliciously broken thief skill I've found in my two-week thief career. It ruins 5/8 downed states, as well as warriors in general. You'll still be able to use it against downed states, but you'll have to pay more attention against good players.
And c'mon Hawkian, poisoning fools while stealthed is great fun; I was trolling an EotM zerg with this just last night.
Edit: that Dulfy list is wrong on Berserker's stance; you get 3 bars of adrenaline post-patch (aka "a full bar").
Very neat
It's a fine nerf, it was even more broken in PvE.
I mean I've literally done this in WvW, I just never realized it wasn't unstealthing meAnd c'mon Hawkian, poisoning fools while stealthed is great fun; I was trolling an EotM zerg with this just last night.
probably because I follow up with cluster bomb for area weakness rather than using the stealth skill.Spehornoob

Yeah, I just started a thief a couple weeks ago, and that skill was pretty broken. Dagger Cleaving is awesome though.
That duet is the coolest thing.
I'm going to get as much EotM trolling as I can in with the old Black Powder before the nerf. Using a fully geared thief against uplevels is so wrong, only a thief can enjoy it. Just cruising about, trying to learn the map, and picking off any unwitting stragglers is much more fun than karma training.
This is absolutely incredible, the longer I listen the more impressed I am. I love when I come across people playing instruments in a half decent way. I have a couple but I still can't really play anything on them :3
I just managed to grab a last minute Teq which succeeded by the skin of its teeth.
Stealth remains the biggest fun killer. blah.
Warrior mace buff leaves me hopeful guardian mace will be sped up as well. I want mainhand maces to become viable, at least in pve. The GS nerf doesn't mean much to me, switched to DWA months ago and haven't looked back. Not crazy about adren dump on miss. Seems like that'll hit the people learning to pvp warriors more than the guys abusing it.

I never had much of a grievance with stealth, and now that I actually play thief I find the criticisms entirely unfounded. Thieves would be grease spots without stealth and there are plenty of counters.
Now watch as this last post of the page stealths away.
