I was going to crack a joke and say now Miktar, remember that NOTHING has changed since launch. Then I read your spoiler tag and laughed. People are already crying about the new daily system and how it took away from "more important things". FFS people get a clue on how game development works.

Really like that new daily achievement system!

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
When are they gonna add those achievement changes, at Wintersday?
Well, actually, I didn't really need to take another look at it for very long. It's pretty explicit:
"With the Wintersday festival coming on December 16, were releasing a new version of the daily achievement system."
So, yeah, ignore my previous post. Seems like it's dropping tuesday.

Ah didn't see that, ty.
So faster daily 10 points + better rewards... I wonder if it's gonna be retroactive.
For the daily 10 points, is it 1 of each category, or any 3?
" Instead, we’ve created a new meta-achievement for completing any combination of three daily achievements from any category. Completing this meta-achievement will award you a flat 10 achievement points"
Seems like "any combination"

Just change your name to SCROOGE already and let it go.. dayum.

No need to call names. Meany.
U R a cat and u smell of fish.
I can see where Kos is coming from though. I wasn't interested in the last WvW tourney so found myself with nothing to do to kill time between ideas for ways to kill time so barely played for a month or so, another gap in the LS stream would probably be the same. But I also get bored of GW2 around Christmas until Januaryish anyway so I've been expecting a hiatus around this time of year and am not fussed about it.
Noted.
I like Wintersday more than the LS. The next LS will probably be a couple story instances, and the glow-bug chest piece. I'll take all the stuff Wintersday brings over that.
Its hard to say anything about the new achievement system until I experience. It would be incredibly nice if they were somehow as (gold) rewarding as my daily dungeon rounds. The login rewards are incredibly cool. Got friends with limited play time each night that usually miss out on dailies in favor of group stuff. Excited for them if nothing else.
Its nice they are still willing to change things up. Something like this seems like it will have a fairly big impact on how a lot of folks play.
But I need to complete monthly jumping wossit at least once in my life, I guess.

Not like you already spend 90% of the time playing Civ V on casual marathon as Queen Elizabeth trying to get a cultural victory versus Genghis Khan.
Indeed, I guess I'll take this break to finish EW. Well thought Salad.
Just to clarify; the new daily rewards roll out on December 16th, but they aren't changing the monthly system until January so that players who have already made a lot of progress aren't short changed.
Got Aodh to level 80 today! I've had the staff in the bank for months waiting for him to be 80. It was the very first ascended item I made. 
Dunno what to level now tho. Cresc just got his latest to level 80 too. He will play pistol/shield engie next and said that I should grab something that would make it a good duo. Dunno what that would be

Love that staff.

The only good duo to an Engi is another Engi.

I feel the same about you.
Guild Wars 2 is $20 on Humble Store for 2 days!

Unless I'm mistaken, it's not changing this month, but next.

Does daily achievements changing also mean changing Mystic Coin rewards or something?

According to the blog post, they'll now be rewarded just for logging in;
I would imagine mystic coins are rolling into that.

Somebody must be speculating they'll be harder to come by for the value to spike like that. Maybe you won't be guaranteed one every day anymore.

Kraitkin can still give an aura on land, but I don't know what triggers it. I actually prefer it fixed, since flaking floating scales look odd on land to me.
Bank materials stack upgrades should be high on there, 250 isn't enough for a lot of them.

MYSTIC COIN SPIKE
I have so many of them - I wonder if I should sell them?

Eeeeh, I only have 80 coins at the moment. Not worth selling. I've spent a shitload of them on stuff like The Anomaly
What is the current best choice of weaponry for a thief at the present state? I've seen a lot of praise for dagger/pistol but that might be old news.
In also working on building a Warrior and was wondering if Axe/shield was good or just run Axe/Axe when I get there?
This down time is the perfect time for me to catch up. Destiny just keeps calling me to hit 30 already, I'm 29 with a lot of raid gear but it's impossible to hit 30+ without grinding commendation, ugh. Rant

Is this the digital heroic edition (with exp boosters and legacy armor) or just the base game? The store page doesn't seem to say. I'll send the link to a buddy of mine anyway. She chose Inquisition over it back when it was $20 last week.
They discontinued the base game and bumped the Heroic edition's price down a while ago, so that should be the Heroic Edition.

Last 3-4 months I think I've gotten a BLTC Key from a daily each month so I hope that is still a possibility somehow.
Also all my BLTC Salvage Kits (1-5 a month) came from dailies as well, so likewise I hope that's still a possibility.

I have it on good authority that daily achievement rewards will be a large number of minigame tickets and the new login reward system is actually a mandatory game of Battleship where you take one turn targeting a space each day until you or the CPU wins. Winning allows you to spin a randomized prize wheel that features nothing Kos Luftar wants.

There's something no one is talking about with the new daily rewards update. There is a picture with an item called "Essence of Gold" as one of the rewards. Is that like "Essence of Luck", but instead of increasing Magic Find it increases Gold Find?
I believe they mentioned your 28th login nets you a 1% gold find increase, so that's probably what it is.

somebody should paste Collins head on that guy .

Looks like my brother is getting a copy for Christmas.
This game's PvP became a fucking joke after the last update. It was terribad before, but now it's laughingly aweful. Not only the matchmaking is non-existend - it's turned off according to Justin, the PvP programer, (yea, kinda sad, but they really do have only one guy working on this system for almost a year now). Which means you are matched with and against players of all skill levels and party sizes, meaning you either faceroll them 500:10 or they faceroll you 10:500.
Of course, the leaderboard now is meaningless more then ever, with it being nothing else then "farm-able".
And lastly - Courtyard, Skyhammer and Spirit Watch as ranked maps... lol

I've been having a blast with the new PvP overhaul. I talked about it a bit in guild chat last night. The new interface is great, I love the pre-match checkbox readyup (reminds me of Dota/lol), and so far all my matches have been tense, really close calls. Perhaps one out of every ten matches was that annoying 50:500 steamroll, but those usually happened due to team composition. I do think the matchmaking needs to be a bit more aggressive on trying to equalize the professions - but since matches are found in like a second, I think they're likely focusing on speed over accuracy. That needs some tweaking.
I do find it funny though that for all the whining about Skyhammer, if it shows up on the map selector it gets overwhelming votes for it - while the new TDM map, a mode that was heavily shouted for, rarely gets any votes.
But since the map selector is a little rotating random picker like Mario Kart, at least there is still the chance for the TDM map to come up if I pick it. I've played on it a few times so far, and it's a blast - I like the new dynamics that come into play in TDM, reminds me a lot of Dragon Arena (which I wish they'd bring back). This PvP overhaul has me excited for PvP again, and I can see myself playing more.
Perhaps I was just lucky or it was the time of day, but I also noticed a lot less 'gtfo noob' and 'omg you're worst engie ever' since the update. If it drove away a lot of the angry tryhards, even better.
I have a whole bunch of Arena rental tokens, perhaps I should contribute them to the GAF arena if we still have one? I really want to play on that TDM map more.
That armour looks so badass.
