And there were crystals, which, if you ask me, represented Glint's progeny.

During the Points of Interest stream today, they would neither confirm nor deny that
the crystals are possibly related to the Mursaat either. If Countess Anise is super serious about her job (and I think that she is), the Shining Blade kinda sorta have a thing about the Mursat.More if she's actually Livia, as that would mean she's dealt with them personally and probably holds a teeny tiny grudge.

These are amazing and should be quoted for new page. I've gotta be honest, the GIF about me didn't load fully so I got the wrong end of the stick at first. I was then enlightened by the entire guild and now I get it, and I laughed quite a bit! Why am I the treacherous usurper though? :(

Also, in case anyone in guild chat cared, this is similar to what I saw today, it was pretty awesome to come across randomly!

Perspective painting that will totally blow your mind.

Bullshot, Bayonetta 2 doesn't have AA on Wii U :p
okay well that was my assumption but I war wondering if they made some sacrifices to get there since the textures leave a bit to be desired ;p

is Bayonetta 2 going to be on something else?

Nintendo funded it, so nope. Also, Bayo 2 runs at 60fps. Textures be damned. I'm so glad they're releasing a definitive version of Bayo 1 bundled in with 2 for free. Wii U superiority.

Wait, what about condition damage?

Probably, because EU > US.
This, but without the troll face.

Doubtful, but it depends on the exact words of the contract. Usually when you fund a game you tie it up for exclusivity for as long as possible.

Derp or Spaz kinda works, though I feel like we need a new word to define someone who doesn't just dislike something out of ignorance but also constantly needs to tell everyone about how much they dislike it.

To interject: I think games encourage people to become "validation addicts" because the hobby is involving and playing a game builds a sense of personal competency. If you think a game is bad, your self image of knowing how games work is on the line. (Same if you think a game is good.)

Investment in built-up skillsets. People simultaneously desire to be entertained but getting to the fun part means applying skills and if the game doesn't work well with your skills it's no fun. It can be easier to blame it on the game than decide you just don't feel like adapting your skillset for the sake of this one game.

It seems very easy to fall into a pattern of going about seeking validation every time you don't like something. Going with the idea of conditioning I would call it a bad habit that feels good. People like criticism, makes you feel in control, with authority over the subject.

There used to be a GAF poster from years ago, can't quite remember the name. Guy had a hard-on for telling everyone who liked the stories in RPGs he hated that they were objectively wrong. The memorable post that revealed his attitude is when he literally said anyone who disagreed with his assessment of a game's story was personally attacking him. Because their conflicting opinion was an implicit criticism of his education, and competency in literature.

I tend to feel it's that kind of personality, someone who is very strident about their competency being reinforced, that results behaving like a validation addict.

Wipe dragonband three times with a 5 man group. They come back with a huge zerg. Still wipe half of them. So bad. So many upscales. But so many.

Golems are already powerful they don't need to be made OP...

This allows them to be worked into a support playstyle though instead of always being the "Get a bunch of golems, then port into the enemy base."

Just bought the game, hope the lag won't be too bad playing on an US server. Then again, if it sucks, it's probably my shitty German ISP. Either way, I'd like to join the GAF guild. My username is wsippel.1265 ;-)

Going through the story missions are more fun this time around since I've finally started the books. I got so excited seeing Soulkeeper and recognizing places and how they fit into the story.

I wish I would have gotten the soundtrack at release. I haven't been able to find it for months.

Nether have some people who ordered it at launch, since apparently DirectSong is horrible. I got mine okay, but I've seen quite a few angry threads on Reddit.

You could always just find the playlist on Youtube and listen to that, I guess.

Yeah, I just like physical copies of soundtracks. Although, the DirectSong stuff sounds awful. Guess I should be happy that I avoided that.

I want to join the Guild Missions tonight but never done them before. Any preparations I should make or just follow along with the group?

If you want to prepare out of courtesy, there are three easy-to-get waypoints you should grab in advance:
-Langmar Estate Waypoint in Plains of Ashford
-Proxemics Waypoint in Brisban Wildlands
-Angvar's Trove Waypoint in Snowden Drifts

There are also these waypoints for Rush:
-Durmond Priory Waypoint
-Fangfury Watch Waypoint
-Kiel's Outpost Waypoint
-Manbane's Waypoint
-Faun's Waypoint
-Twoloop Waypoint
-Hessdallen Kenning Waypoint

And these for challenge:
-Viper's Run Waypoint
-Tumok's Waypoint
-Stromkarl Waypoint
-Irwin Isle Waypoint
-Helliot Mine Waypoint

However, we always make sure everyone who is attending gets escorted there before starting, so it's not a big deal if you don't.

Is there a good guide out there that explains what options I have at level 80 as far as PvE goes? Looking to get back into the game and I stopped pretty much once my Guardian hit the cap.

Everything in the game, basically. Dungeons, Fractals, WvW, PVP, explore it all, get all the vistas, finish your Personal Story, get started on Living World season 2, etc. It all depends on what you want to do, or enjoy doing. Try it all and see what sticks. Get yourself kitted out in full exotic weapons and armour if you haven't already.

No mumble available for missions?

Nope, we put in a ticket earlier but our host is still reporting that the server is running despite it clearly not. I apologize for the downtime, we'll be getting a new host as soon as the current one's money runs out (you guys chipped in and paid for a full year).
