If they do it?

Retro, they are not republic serial devs. Do you seriously think they'd explain their master-stroke if there remained the slightest chance of the playerbase affecting its outcome?

They did it three days ago.

Thanks guys, I appreciated the references.

I like fighting Mordrem because they validate my cleric build. Fighting foes that use conditions and are vulnerable to CC is such a huge step up.

The best part of the LS were the set pieces, the Durmand Priory interior and Glint's domain. I read every book in the library. The most interesting was that which essentially accused the Six Gods of disappearing from the world in order to flee the awakening Elder Dragons, whom they feared would target them for their magic. Also it seems pretty clear that part of the long-term plot trajectory is that the PS mission of destroying Zhaitan had unintended negative consquences (balance yadda yadda), and ultimately we will end up restoring Zhaitan or creating a replacement.

Teaser at end of POI.

We should get a trailer this coming Tuesday, and EP6 the following Tuesday (Nov18th).

I think the conversation with this NPC hints at what is to come in the next few updates.

Oooooh yeah, we're goin' underground.

Also, a completely throwaway comment, but I love that someone took a moment to say "Oh, we didn't establish a base in Dry Top because the sandstorms would mess with our airships." Also nice to see that they're foreshadowing more Waypoints on the map like I was hoping would happen.

Maraudon it is.

As messy as Mara was and as painful as anything that wasn't a straight princess run was, at least parts of it were gorgeous.

orr 2.0, get ready to relive the wonders of release orr all over again.

on the thing about waypoints, it would be cool if they added waypoints the way they are in wvw, only with they being a little more permanent.

The reason why they have such a good LS release is their new narrative director.

Hi folks! Now that I’ve settled in a bit at ANet, I wanted to check in again on this thread. The first Living World episode that I was involved in, “Echoes of the Past,” has now been live for a few days. We’ve all been really pleased that people seem to be enjoying the story and content a lot. But I’d love to ask you all for more specifics. What were your favorite narrative moments? What did you like about the content? About the way it was told? And of course, I want to hear what you think we can still do better on.
Thanks in advance to everyone for their comments. I’m very excited to be part of such a great game, and to work with such an excellent team of creative people.

I was legitimately startled at the advancements in narrative with this installment. If you would've told me that was because they just hired a "narrative director," I would've replied your joke was too on-the-nose.

They where missing multiple turet ops and Squads only got half full .

im sorry to hear tequatl time failed, for the people who like it.

well, at least for me, even if i wasnt playing, the plus hour of people not doing tequatl is a blessing.

i mean EVERY FUCKING TIME IT IS TEQUATL TIME, all the rest of the world simply vanish mid-event and nothing can be done. i experienced it so many times, SO MANY TIMES i gave up. when tequatl hits i log off, because if i need a group or help of a group of players i can never get. they are all playing tequatl the game.

The Shovel Farm around Amber Base in SIlverwastes is so good that I can see out farmers ignoring the main objective of the map by next weekend just to concentrate on Amber events for shovels rewards and then mass gather Bandit chests.

That's disappointing, but not all together unexpected.

Been up for about a week, but we're still sorting things out. Hawkian and I were talking about it and we're leaning towards just two sub-forums; News & Announcements and then a general GW2 chat. We ended up not needing quite as much as we thought since NeoGAF straightened itself out. I can't speak for everybody, but if something like Gamergate had spawned on GAF instead of 4chan I'd be putting a whole hell of a lot more distance between myself and these forums.

I think we switched our host?

Yeah, the GAFGuild site is on an actual stable host now, but because of the previous hosts' shenanigans we lost a lot of previous posts. Which isn't a big deal because the forums weren't getting a ton of use, but it's still something we need to sort out.

And no, Mumble is not down, ya bastards. That actually seems to have sorted itself out, and we have 4 or 5 months paid up until we decide whether we want to jump to a new mumble host or stay with our current one. Given the problems we had with them in the past, I think a new one might be worth trying.

Teleporter in the Special Collections Basement. It's not there any more (Retro and I confirmed this) so ArenaNet are hiding something...
 
That is what 1 kilo of bitter chocolate, half a kilo of homemade fresh peanut paste and 400g of dulce de leche get you.

I've no idea what i'll do with it. Did waaaay too much.

GAFGuild Season Two Event 1 - Silverwaste Stronghold - 1:00PM Sunday November 9th, 2014

The Pact needs our help, and it's time to give it. GAF will head into the Silverwastes, tag up with a Commander at each base, and run the show. Our objective here will be to hold all fortresses and win The Breach at least once- we won't be achievement hunting or chest farming this time around. We want to rule the map and really hit the 5 bosses with the right stuff.

Here's a guide if you're totally in the dark: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2lgnrt/guide_semiorganized_silverwastes_guide/

Base defense, escort, and rubble supply missions are simple- defend the bases, escort pack bulls, bring rubble to collectors, easy peasy lemon squeezy. The bosses are where it gets tricky, and we'll be assigning the right people to the right bases in advance to be able to hit them hard.

Red Rock - Copper Husk - Anyone with high condition damage and the ability to stack them goes here. He barely flinches to physical damage but can go down easily to conditions. Any Mesmers and Engis that wind up at Red Rock- don't ignore Confusion, it can really add up in the upper stacks and cut down on the kill time.

Indigo Cave - Silver and Gold Terragriffs - These guys are tough! The first step is to separate them, as they're nearly impossible to take down together. Then, note which direction they're circling around the cave. Never chase them- run in the opposite direction, and wait by a gas bubble. When they come into range of a bubble, spike it down to put a stun on them and start hurting them.

Amber Sandfall - Iron Troll - AFKers go here. He's easy.

Blue Oasis - Platinum Thrasher - Possibly the toughest boss unless coordinated, this is where we NEED people with single target damage only. AOEs and cleaves are not ok, as killing any of the bubbles all over the place will cause the boss to teleport and you'll be chasing him all afternoon. He has a pull attack which can get you off guard, but the main concern is keeping him from teleporting and laying damage into him.

Based on the success we've had in maps with just two commanders going we should be able to really lock it down. Be there!

I'm planning to attend. Are these guys vulnerable to CC? Could be a job for my Gadgeteer.

She had to look good for the new Luminescent armor, after all.
I ran all my characters through a preview. That new heavy shoulders is the single greatest piece; I'm considering a whole new mixed sit based on it alone. My female asura ele could also create a new set around the chest piece.
