Threaten people on the internet?
ofc, that way when it does happen I can claim my threats made it happen.
Out of curiosity : was the Mai trin i did with you pre or post patch ?
yep. the pvp build interface is a good codebase to start with but they'll need to incorporate gear, so I'm not surprised it's a lot more work. i fully expect them to come someday just as they did to GW1 though.
save some for after lunch
That would be post patch. If it was pre-patch mai, we wouldn't have been able to fight her with 3 people most of the time.

I got back into it and am leveling a warrior with my fiance (who's an elementalist) and it's her first MMO. We've just been grouping up and leveling. Still seems fairly active at the lower teens and early twenty levels which is where we are.
Same boat pretty much, got the MMO itch but didn't feel like paying a monthly fee and then I remembered how solo friendly this game was and how easy it is to just run around and quest without having an actual quest log.
1. Count Duckula is clearly a duck.
2. Count Duckula is a vegetarian (no life/lifeforce stealing).
3. Stay away from Count Duckula or else.

Looks gorgeous, and functional. The Delivery Box isn't even something I'd have thought about wanting, but it's perfect for the way I use the TP, personally.

Anything that doesn't cover? Combined with Category/Subcategory selection ("Armor"), seems perfect.
edit: ha, there are more, not shown.
I hope they get the appropriate credit for this. I wonder if they've decided to eschew Ruby on Rails or simply started from scratch with it.

Would never have even thought of those. Convenient.
in all honesty neither did I, but I've heard nonstop complaints about it since launch, so yay!

I don't remember really hearing from Pat Cavit before, I would like to shake the dude's hand.

I had troubles! I mean, not really troubles but being able to filter by profession is amazing when you don't really know the "of the ___" moniker you're looking for.
Also, for crafting recipes at Heart Vendors throughout the world, is there a way to see WHAT the recipe is? Or at least what item will be created and the stats? I see the name but that doesn't help much in the game.

Ugh, screw reddit, I'm really hating the community there these days. After all the complaining about the TP (which has always been good) the top comments I see there are about the "Get More Gold" button instead of all these quality improvements.
Edit: vv time to get back to item flipping.

That community is pretty terrible for this game. It's almost always negative. It used to be full of cool screenshots and guides and such back in the first few months of launch, I've kind of stopped paying attention to it.
BUT, what exactly does the "Get More Gold" button do? I looked at the release and it doesn't say anything, is it just a Gem/Gold transaction/trade or is it something new?
Oops.. should have kept reading before posting
This is a big deal. Feel a little bad for them. A good chunk of the features in this pack are not sexy but took obviously substantial coding effort.
Probably just gems for gold, yeah. Maybe they'll have something set up that auto exchanges dollars for gold at the current rate.
It's even more impressing when you think that it was probably done by one or two Anet-ers at most.
hell I didn't even notice that XD looks like it's just meant to mirror the original Buy More Gems button on the gem store http://snowulf.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/gw2-store.jpg ...
Probably just gives you 100g or so every time you click, I'd say
I have to say that I share the same feelings now. Even 1-2 months ago this wasn't the case, but the GW2 subreddit has gone to shit and is run by whiny, entitled babies. The amount of complaining about the Get More Gold button is just stupid. It's a small, unobtrusive way to message to many players that you can trade Gems for Gold. It's almost as if these people forget that ANet is a business and needs money in order to run the game and develop future content. If it were up to them, there would be nothing on the UI that would even let you go to the BLTC.
Also, a build holder template is in the plans for some point.

Just got this update while driving and texting. Heading back to work.
lmao *grinchface*
Anyone for a PvP group tonight? I want to play a couple matches with my mesmer and then after we get massacred I'll switch back to thief for winning things
I try to PvP a little each night, not sure my plans when I get home from work, but if I'm on I'll find out what lobby you are playing in and join. Actually want to play some Ranger, the only class I haven't touched at all yet, what better place to learn a class than while being pummeled by gaffers.
Lots, but almost always full berserker of some sort. The only builds I haven't really messed with in PvP are full bleed/condi ones. D/P steal with mug and stealthseeker is a blast.
My favorite is S/P burst for bunker buster/interrupt-type dps. This would be the closest "meta" one I've seen, though I do not use the Lyssa rune/Basilisk combo, which is great and definitely worth considering for condi removal (I retain Hide in Shadows and take more of a "live to fight" approach if I run into condi spam alone). killing people during the recharge on their heal skill after interrupting it is one of those things that will never, ever get old to me. I also find Infiltrator's Strike/Return to be one of those skills I feel totally naked without in PvP, so more often than not I forego the big numbers from backstab.
I have some ideas for tweaks to my S/P build I'd like to try out tonight too based on this tankier one... still don't plan to forego any damage, or use Lyssa runes, but I might try Signet of Agility + Signet use trait, Sigil of Paralyzation, and/or switch hide in shadows for withdraw, see how it feels to change up what I use for condition removal and rely less on stealth. Since Tactical Strike is split from PvE to just 1.5s in PvP I might be okay neglecting stealth and focus on being able to pump out an extra, lengthened stun Pistol Whip instead, maintaining a pure damage focus.

I've been watching WoodenPotatoes videos a fair bit lately. Man, there's some really cool lore in the Guild Wars universe. I think their world building is far better than their moment-to-moment storytelling.
Gimme dat Wizard's Tower dungeon, ANet.

yeah this has been the case like so forever it's not even funny. If you haven't, go check out the Soundless village in Ventry Bay and the nearby villages the Nightmare Court drove them out of (one has a journal of one member's progression into becoming Soundless). really effective world-building with some relevance to the current story arc as well.
edit:
Rubi's gonna be hosting POI! If you're reading this out there somewhere, congrats!
Ah ok . bit of a bummer though .
Now that my Aoe fields are back i can hopefully survive for at least 5 seconds during the cannon face when i meet her next time .
This is absolutely true. There's so much awesome lore in the game. It's one of the main reasons I fell in love with it. They really don't seem to want to do anything with any of it, for the most part, though.
90% sure the Wizard's Tower is there to troll people. It is literally a giant, visible thing that's only there to taunt you with the potential for something cool to happen there, but like GW1 nothing will ever come of it.
This afternoon Ike and I tried to duo Honor of the Waves 1. We actually managed it pretty well, and learned a lot during it. Here's a video of our successful attempt at Troll. Took us about 3 tries to nail it down, but once we understood his mechanics it got pretty easy! Halfway through the Butcher Ike DC'd, but I managed to hold him on my own until he got back and we killed him in our first attempt.

Not exactly. It would need to be twice to size, shown on login, shown on half the dialogue boxes involving any kind of transactions, shown on the inventory, and have an animated sheen to draw your eye to it. And be bright pink, purple, or gold. *
* I'm currently playing a fuckton of F2P mmos. The upcoming TP button is harmless by comparison. People are throwing a shitfit over nothing, because they love to whine.
That is sweeeeet. Butcher must have been damn mindnumbing with only two people though.
Love her, love the wraith mask.
Thanks .
She's still Missing the correct shoulders and Gloves .
Human tier 3 stuff ain't cheap.
It wasn't that bad, actually. His pattern is pretty easy to see and react to, and although the fight can take a while. We took about 15 minutes because we had a bad start and Ike DC'd, but I imagine it's possibly to cut down to 5 minutes or even less.
