Support NeoGAF

[Mxrz]

Screenshots and support ticket? ANet takes that sort of thing very, very seriously.

Really tired of dipshit pug warriors trying to prove how big their wingwang is by getting so far ahead of the rest of the group that the NPC warps, misses a dungeon trigger and screws over the whole run. I want to see greatsword's mobility nerfed just to spite these dumbasses.

Never really looked into this before, but is a support ticket different from just reporting the person? I don't have any screenshots but the fact that he immediately blocked me after I got kicked is suspicious.

 

[Mxrz]

Well it used to be the only way to report this sort of thing since you lost all party chat and account name/info once you were out of the party. I'd guess they prefer the in game report system now, but can't imagine they'd ignore the ticket.

As far as I know this stuff is recorded in the logs. The few times it happen to me they'd want the time and location, and said they would investigate, but would not give details on action taken if any, etc.

 

[Kos Luftar]

Some screenshots I took from tonight. Shitty quality so wait for the ones that Zebes took.

Can anyone identify the chest peiece and leggins on this Ranger?

The new Glorious PvP stuff!

 

[Hawkian]

Thanks to all for attending our event. So glad we managed to wreck the Lich. Dat scaaaaling!

Congrats to all our Prize Winners and especially our Emilie who won the grand prize of a Bloody Prince Staff Skin!

Here are a couple shots I took (one has a shark!) and some 4K shots from Zebes are linked.

4k Shot 1
4k Shot 2

Really appreciate the turnout, I had a lot of fun

Looking forward to the teaser for next release tomorrow!

 

[Levyne]

It was fun, thanks for setting it all up

 

[Kos Luftar]

My screens look much more Halloween-y because of DarkD3.

Cool screens hawk and zed.

Had fun everyone, thanks for showing up and for hopping on mumble.

Good night.

 

[Hawkian]

dat mumble hope

 

[UltimateIke]

I just wish we had had an easier time getting all of GAF into an instance together. That 25 person cap is pretty strict.

But it all worked out in the end, and I had a ton of fun, so I hope everyone else did too.

 

[Levyne]

I thought the 25 person cap was just adriaaa making a joke, guess not

 

[Spyware]

I had fun!
Really wish we could talk to you on mumble too. But we'll need to buy a mic and I would also have to get over the fact that my english is rubbish compared to yours
Swenglish sucks.

 

[Levyne]

Mics are pretty cheap. I just wish I was more comfortable talking into one

pfft, we wanna hear you!

the more people that hop on to chat the better, it's a fun group.

 

[Neo Dark]

Had fun. Thanks again Hawk.

Shame we didn't have someone streaming or a recording of us upscaling lich and making no progress using tactics to bring our members in

 

[Boss Doggie]

I don't get it why aNet made Lich hard. I mean, I already got the cheevo, but why is it hard? Even the Viscount Candy wasn't this annoying.

 

[Mxrz]

I have no clue what that these new gem store items do. First time that's happened. Maybe the store itself could offer more details.

 

[UltimateIke]

Attempt #1 to solo the Lich was visited by the Horror, with an unexpected outcome for said Horror. Unfortunately, it still ended in failure for me. I did get a good laugh.

Attempt #2 to solo the Lich succeeded, but I forgot to record the beginning of it. Figures.

Attempt #3 sort of succeeded; I got the Lich to 5% health before some random Charr ran in, to save me I'm sure. Not exactly a solo run at that point...

Attempt #4 wasn't as pretty as the others, but it's all there. I was frustrated at that point, and the Horror kept circling the labyrinth, threatening to interfere with the fight at inopportune times.


The main thing to take from this is that the little summoned skeletons are the real boss fight.

After reading this: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2kikrr/im_a_brand_new_player_and_i_guess_anet_really/

Probably should just buy a new account and then fight Teq, you will have better luck.

 

[Anno]

That spike already going in corn prices. If they weren't so damned inefficient space wise they'd probabiy be a good long term payoff. I imagine people will become addicted to having a line of boosts on them at any time.

Hey guys! Remember how the community was outraged at our shitty monetization attempt, saying that it was nothing more than a completely transparent way to force them to buy more gems than they needed?

Let's prove them right!

I've done Teq at least 150 times and have zero Hoards. The RNG in GW2 is just fucking stupid.

 

[Shanlei91]

That candy corn item looks great. I'll just go convert gold for 300 gems.

 

[Kos Luftar]

That candy corn item looks great. I'll just go convert gold for 300 gems.

Convert 400 and then convert 100 back to gold.

 

[Coriolanus]

There's a... 15%ish conversion fee when going from gems to gold.
Either way u gon git shafted

 

[Shanlei91]

Convert 400 and then convert 100 back to gold.

That kind of advice is anti-consumer. You're clearly a shill.

Reveal your true form...COLIN.

Now I know why you don't see Kos and Colin online at the same time!

 

[Levyne]

I knew Ike would have some Lich solos. That would be a cool gauntlet fight.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Oh? Candy corn getting a boost in sales? I have so many~

 

[Kos Luftar]

I only wish I had that colin smile!

 

[Hawkian]

I don't get it why aNet made Lich hard. I mean, I already got the cheevo, but why is it hard? Even the Viscount Candy wasn't this annoying.

What's wrong with some small amount of challenge? I enjoy it a lot when not literally everything can be facerolled.

Attempt #1 to solo the Lich was visited by the Horror, with an unexpected outcome for said Horror. Unfortunately, it still ended in failure for me. I did get a good laugh.

Attempt #2 to solo the Lich succeeded, but I forgot to record the beginning of it. Figures.

Impressive as always, nice work

Echoes of the Past - LS2 EP5

 

[Lunar15]

Good to see the Pact getting set up. The idea of having an airship actually moving around the battlefield and shooting stuff is pretty neat.

Also, looks like we get to see more of the Priory, which is cool. Glint's realm from GW1 as well.

 

[Levyne]

Mostly recap

 

[Retro]

Well, let's see here...

- Looks like the Pact has set up a base (or at least an airship hangar) in the area near Dry Top.
- Sandstone Ruins. Reminds me of Petra.
- A new big flower / vine enemy.
- Arrow Cart being used in PVE, probably like in the Living Story episode at Fort Salma.
- A big, minotaur-looking creature (it's huge, has horns, walks on two digitigrade legs). Has a skull-looking face, similar to the Modrem wolves. Maybe it's a Mordrem Ogre?
- Hope that airship firing into the battle isn't just for show.

- Looks like we'll catch up with Marjory and Kasmeer at the Priory.
- Abaddon statue is in the Priory basement.
- The ceiling in one frame has letters for each Elder Dragon;.

• Left side, top to bottom is S, Z and P (hidden by the wire, but it's pretty obvious what it is). S____, Zhaitan, Primordus.
• Right side, top to bottom is K M J. Kralkatorrik, Mordremoth, Jormag.
  • The ocean dragon's name starts with "S."

- Oh yeah, that's a big ass spine hanging from the ceiling there too.
- A big store room. Barrel says "04", Box says "Stor-", can't see the rest of the crate to translate.
- Ogden, yay!
- A big crystal structure; Glint's Lair.
- Some kind of Hourglass relic? I hope this doesn't mean we do a bunch of time travel =\

 

[Shanlei91]

But time travel is so much fun and instantly makes things more interesting! Like LOST, Terminator, Star Trek and the final season of Felicity!

 

[Boss Doggie]

Hmm... some of the warrior's traits are weird, like healing shouts should be at the trait that boosts healing and def, not vitality/boon

 

[Levyne]

Excellent little analysis, Retro

 

[nataku]

All the Halloween stuff disappears on Tuesday, right?

 

[Retro]

Huh. So there's a Charr standing behind the Hourglass before it explodes. It's not Rytlock, maybe it's just a player character. You can see him here; http://i.imgur.com/6GOC5FU.jpg

Excellent little analysis, Retro

Thanks.

All the Halloween stuff disappears on Tuesday, right?

I'm going to venture a guess and say Yes, but I have absolutely no evidence other than Halloween will be over at that point... and they'll want people focused on the new content instead of farming ToT bags.

 

[WhirlwindMonk]

Is there a good place to get a summary of the LS so far? I'd like to jump in once it starts, but I have no idea what's going on.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Oh yeah, does killing toxic alliance sylvari with halloween finishers count for the achievement?

 

[Retro]

Is there a good place to get a summary of the LS so far? I'd like to jump in once it starts, but I have no idea what's going on.

There's a short summary in the second post of the OT that covers Season 1. I should probably add a bit of Season 2 to it, and clean up the Beginner Tips since the NPE has changed some of that.

Alternatively, you could read the Wiki summary for Season 1 and Season 2, but those are obviously a bit lengthier.

 

[Kos Luftar]

I am so excited for next Tuesday I am gonna try to get approval to "work" from home on that day.

Hope ANET release update early like they used to do.

 

[Noisy Ninj4]

- Some kind of Hourglass relic? I hope this doesn't mean we do a bunch of time travel =\

Echoes of the past as a title. It really looks like we'll be going back in time. In this case way back, which I don't mind too much. I suspect they'll be covering the abaddon fractal's contents with this and I am excite.

Wonder what that spine (or perhaps tail?) is from? Glint? Zhaitan?

I''ve heard that it does, yes. Also you don't need to "finish" the finisher, just initiate and cancel.

 

[sackboy2197]

This Halloween update doesn't have any Personal Story unlock right?
I want to be sure I'm not missing out on stuff.
