I just hit level 50 last night!
Since we're at the top of a new page, now is as good a time as any to remind folks to please spoiler tag any Living Story discussion for at least a week, as not everyone is able to do it on the first day. Thanks, guys.

Classic Brynn hair is back, along with a new outfit. So dark, so edgy.
I still need to run AC a couple more times so I can try out those pauldrons too.
Princess Wars!

I'll try to sleep early so I can join missions D:
This made me chuckle, thanks for that. It has slightly helped the halloween hanvover :3
Is this when Living Story resumes?
Zeroth stopped playing? :O
Entirely quit? Or just sorta taken a break like me?
Loving your current avatar buddy. I spotted it in another thread. I love the progression it has made as (I assume) you slowly go mad from more work and require more coffee? I'm going to be starting to get into that boat myself. Not a coffee fan though so I don't have that boost available

Go help out someone new to the game. show em the ropes and introduce them to gw2 as you know it. Showing off jps and new stuff always feels great.
A good gafractal doesn't hurt either.
Guild missions in 5 hours from now .
showing the newcomers the ropes really pays off. just to see how exited they feel while it is amazing.
took your advice and went to guide a dude. felt great, thanks!
(Starting to rally a PvP team to practice this week. who is in?)

Rush dungeons, mock pp thieves, run phalanx pugs, shoot the breeze.
Tbh resorting to a videogame to uplift your spirit seems like the worst kind of escapism. If one needs to do that regularly, a professional psych eval or major lifestyle change seems in order.
DONT. MENTION. DAYLIGHT. SAVINGS.

racist.
It hasn't been since we were conserving fuel for the war effort.
here where i live only my region dont have to apply to daylight savings. i wonder what do people really save with dailight savings.

really nice! Impressed! KATANA LOVE!
Sheesh. Morning USA pugs can't even complete AC. I don't mind new players so much, but when they refuse to communicate, or even listen-what are you suppose to do? You can't even solo stuff since the bosses/mobs will run around all over after others. I can only tolerate AC and most dungeons at this point because they're quick, but take that away and they become rather horrible.
Anyway. With season 2 being spoiled apparently by China, I'm keeping map chat off for the next few weeks.

Hey guys- I may be late or miss the time for makeup missions altogether, I'm helping out the gubernatorial campaign today and it may go well past 3. If no officers are present I can log in on my phone to kick stuff off, but I won't be any use in combat Sorry! If any officers can make it and run the show please give a little posty post here so I know if it's necessary to try and get on.

I'll be on, no worries.
Reminder: Makeups are still at 3pm, our schedule doesn't change.

DST sucks
No argument here, with the way the world is connected there's no reason to have this mandatory shift in the way we keep time.
IIt's even more confusing for folks right on the border of timezones. Where I used to live in Indiana, the moron governor allowed the counties to decide, so weird, unpredictable chunks of the state are Eastern and others are Central. Nevermind that all of Michigan (which extends further east than any point in Indiana) is on central time.
I'd be perfectly fine getting rid of it. It's a relic of wartime rationing.
thats probably why they dont let it go.
Thanks Retro.
And yeah. Along with anti-pennies I'm taking up anti-DST as a pet peeve cause. When trying to explain the concept of time zones (which is abstract enough as it is) to my nephews I realized I had to say that France was 4..... or 5 hours ahead of us, depending on the time of year. If local governments are reckless enough to allow counties or municipalities to set their own rules for DST like Retro's examples, you run into scenarios where people are best off resetting their watches after each leg of their commute to and from work. Or the Hopi/Navajo situation in Arizona where there are probably buildings somewhere along that silly-ass border in which on the east side it's 4:00pm and the west side is 5:00pm.
It's just really hubris that got us to this point, the idea that if we just sort of gamed human perception enough and kept making little tweaks as problems arose we could master the 4th dimension. But the "length of a day" isn't how long it seems like the sun is above your head for, the length of a day is 24 hours. Thinking we can just tell time how it works without causing more problems than we solve is humanity at its most truly human. that little quote of Thorgal's is pretty dead on.
edit: To clarify, it's not the "DST time" schedule I care about, just the idea of changing the clocks. We could stay on DST as standard time and I'd be perfectly happy.

I hate you guys.
I want earlier Teq, earlier daily reset, earlier guild missions.
DST #1 !

Must be really confusing since almost none of Michigan is in the Central time zone. All but a tiny bit of the UP is in Eastern.
exactly! yay!
Okay, does this actually happen, or not (besides guild missions, that definitely doesn't -_-)
I literally have no idea, I can't remember. somebody post what time the reset happens tonight please, lol
You're right; prior to the Governor letting the counties pick which timezone they wanted to be in, Indiana was weird and just never observed Daylight Savings time. So for half of the year they'd be in sync with Eastern time and the other half in sync with Central. Michigan stayed in Eastern Time all year round, so half the year they were on our time and the other half an hour ahead.
The wikipedia article for Time in Indiana is ridiculous. What a mess.
"haha I wonder what that article is actually called"
"oh my god he wasn't paraphrasing"
TIME doesn't get to be different in Indiana! We do not have the ability to alter or even correctly perceive time! humans are so ridiculous. thank god gw2 allows for four other choices or I'd be hopelessly depressed.
edit: hahaha omg
well I'm sure THAT didn't cause any problems xD
also wow at the controversy section.
i'm fascinated, explain your time-perception situation and how you get screwed?
Whenever daylight savings kicks in somewhere outside US eastern someone from the affected timezone will ask if that affects guild missions and stuff and is always told no, guild missions are at the same time. That's true for EST people but if your clocks have changed then gmissions time has changed, Thorgal asked this not long ago. That's why I prefer using the daily reset as a reference( i.e. gmisssions are one hour after reset), everyone resets at the same moment and can figure out when stuff is happening without googling stuff.
EDIT: And now Spyware too!

O____O
that's right yeah. no chance I'll be home by then though
I hope Callunah can get through the rush, that sucked with the timer last night!
I assume when you say "EST" you mean "locations that observe and have changed their clocks for daylight savings" which means that guild mission time should be the same unless you're clocks HAVEN'T changed. like if your time relative to when 9:00PM eastern is, is now an hour more or an hour less of difference then it was yesterday, then the time on YOUR clock that missions start will have changed. But the vast majority of the US does observe DST stays the same relative to EST, so I don't know how else we could handle it as a guild.
i'm pretty hopelessly confused, so the relative time (hour on the clock) for the in-game events based off the server clock DO change (i.e. reset will now be when my clock says 7:00PM)?
