The changes to early zones are horrible. I know we've talked at length about the capability of new players, but come on. You're giving them a truncated version of the game and they're not going to naturally learn how to play later on. Enemies in starter zones don't cause conditions? bruh
oh neat the patch is up? I'll take a break to check it out 
I don't know what that means. their level of interaction will be up to them if they decide to join.

lots of backpacks and it looks like weapons as well(from that_shaman datamine).
Amen. The game is easy enough as it is, so instead of creating a tutorial...you dumb down the game even further. In what world does that make sense?
Yea that looks like the kind of stuff I've been wanting for awhile. I'm hoping it's not solely weapons though.
Ah I guess we haven't linked to the patch notes: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/for...date-Notes-September-9-2014/first#post4380305
I'm still patching, will call out some highlights of unexpected things

I'm saying that from where I come in WvW and wanting something interesting to happen if it ever will, what if we're not doing squat towards WvW when they are online? I know in general we have less than a handful of people in it at a time and this is assuming they're in their for their own reasons and not for cohesive group play. This is why I'm saying we're not a great exposure to them except for reinforcing the view that people only play WvW casually.
The people that spend their entire time playing in that game mode sure don't agree. There are a lot of thankless things that go on in WvW that many people aren't aware of and it's understandable. It's because a huge portion of the population never does the boring map maintenance but tell off/get peeved at the people who do when things go wrong.
the people that spend their entire time playing in that game mode aren't the only people who play that game mode. I freely admit I don't know what that last sentence meant at all, but the adopt a dev concept was not stated to be intended only or primarily for hardcore guilds.
That's the problem. It's the dedicated ones that're disappearing in droves while the new players are intimidated as heck. I don't blame people for getting discouraged when they get lost or stray off or don't respond fast enough and accidentally get run over by a zerg because of the safety in numbers bit we humans flock to instinctively. Plus, GAF only has a handful of people that follow the zerg for that matter as well.
What good would going after a WvW dev be if we already have devs that see the general picture we provide as is?
New Aura: Light Aura
That's... interesting. And Blasts don't create Light Auras at all? Still... interesting. (I want a Dark Aura for my Well Necro)
- Gain 2 seconds of retaliation when struck. (Cooldown: 1 second)
- Apply 8 seconds of vulnerability when struck.
- Leaping through a light field now grants 5 seconds of light aura.

with a lowered experience curve to 15 I'm not sure the newbie "babbymode" adaptations are all that big a deal. they did create a dodging tutorial as well. but whatever, i'm sure I could be missing the ways in which this will hurt new players. i just know those changes aren't for me, even the level 1 version of me.
new runes/sigils
Worth checking out, potentially farmable:
World Boss convenience:
Item names:
Pretty good mechanical changes to WvW
With the death of keyfarming here is our balm:
The balance changes are rather long. Lots to sift through.

"Superior Rune of Radiance:
+25 Vitality
When you receive an aura, you gain 5 seconds of swiftness."
Totally read that as "When you receive an asuran"... and i was like?? what!? free cutenesss!!! LOL I need better glasses!
A agree with you Hawk.. the Adopt a dev seems to be just a fun way to be able to play a game with some of the people responsible for all the of the fun we are (or should be) having in the world that THEY created. Let's just be fun and friendly and play as always... we don't have to impress them or "show" them anything. =)

I apologize that I am having a lot of trouble seeing where you are coming from. I would certainly like to do anything possible to make WvW less intimidating for new players and feel like I have valid feedback I could provide if prompted for it in that arena. But the initiative was to experience the upcoming tournament alongside a variety of guilds; there is no prompting for specific feedback or only seeking input from certain types of players. Our guild is no less valid than any other merely because it is less hardcore. I am certain they will be getting input and perspective from plenty of that sort of guild and it might well be beneficial for some to spend time with others too.
Truth be told, it doesn't state or even necessarily seem like they are looking for feedback at all. It just states that they wanted to get outside their comfort zones and play within some guilds. I like the devs I have met so far and it sounds to me like it would be fun to play with one in WvW. They are free to decide if our guild isn't ideal for taking part in this initiative or to play with us to whatever degree they wish.
I fully understand the part where they choose the amount of time and when and how they want to interact. I'm just saying that when they do, I don't exactly see any of us in there to begin with. They'd basically be going in much like one of us would if we wanted to follow a zerg for a while. Our guild isn't exactly useful if they're going to do that. They can do that without a guild.

My working 8xAA override settings for GW2 in case anyone needs after the patch.
I'm still not getting it. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be dense. I plan to play during this upcoming tournament and i'm sure a few others will as well. I'd prefer to group us up and run together rather than join a zerg in the first place. It would be awesome if a dev wanted to join us. If not, so be it.
Runes of Resistance and Altruism added to PvP.

So that WP video (second peak or w/e) shows that he got a key at level 10.
Ahem...
There is an obvious consistency to the names of some if those datamined weapons (barking dog / barking wolf / distemper) that makes me think they might be upgradable (ala Maudrey) or there's a precursor / legendary thing going on.
Also, I don't know what "Mourneblade" even looks like and I know I kinda want it.

Inspired by Arthas.
Edit: Hey Lump. It makes a difference if you don't use sparse grid supersampling?

Staff is the only one I can see myself buying, and only if it's cheap.
Not liking the TP changes honestly, especially how my "already listed" items aren't shown in the sell screen. It only matches lowest price now and shows a small amount of prices above that. I've got a large chunk of ecto listed and it doesn't allow me to add to my currently listed. Obviously I can just enter in a value...but wtf. So now, instead of simply clicking a radio button to add them to my current sales, I have to go look-up what I'm selling them at...
Also, the number of clicks required to list stuff is...REALLY going to get tiresome. As if this game needed anymore clicking...
On another note, they changed the steel and seasoned wood weapons to have "goldish" looking metallic bits.

They are marked as 'free to apply' in the wardrobe which is as weird as it is interesting.
New crafting backpacks are really cheap to make, and make for a good starter exotic one, but it seems there is sormething borked with the exotic versions.
Can't put an upgrade in it and they have Ascended infusion slots.
that's nice.Yea I really like the look of the radiant chest pieces, just wish you could dye some parts :/
The light male variant is especially cool.

What you said would be true if everybody was like you. Unfortunately, not everybody is like you.
Some 80 didn't even know how to dodge which is why they added daily dodger. Other examples, brown bear rangers and players that only stayed in fire EVER.

Anyone know how to get DarkD3 to work? I threw all the files into the bin folder but the game crashed immediately upon start up.
I would absolutely love to know why this happens :lol
Two questions: In the video above from that Potatoes guy, you can see when he shows off the new Commander badges that he has over 10000 gold and almost 100k badges of honor. How the hell has he accomplished that?
And like some might've seen in the guild chat, my fps is dropping to at least 6 frames in WvW, making it pretty much unplayable. Granted, I'm playing at 1080p but I don't think lowering the resolution has done much in the past (and it makes the game look terrible on my tv for some reason, even though it should support 720p). My other graphical settings are now at none or low across the board and I haven't seen any major improvements so far :/
Buy a new PC for god's sake
They have the data to back up the reasons for these changes. For us as veterans of the game and even seasoned gamers, it makes no sense, but for people who may be new to gaming or MMOs in general, it's something that can make or break whether or not they even make it out of the first zone. They have data that tells them for trials or new accounts when and where people quit. These changes are in response to that.

He also had 10k laurels iirc. So don't dwell on it.
