The secret is finally out. Also, lol at apple's mic still being dumb
For some reason, github butchers the crap out of the raw text formatting. I think I meant to ask Retro to change the link to https://github.com/hawkian/Gamepad-Mode/blob/master/INSTRUCTIONS.md which you can view online as the more appropriate readme, under the link to the zip...I'm trying to install the 360 controller support but my god, the instruction.txt is a mess.Scrolls horizontally forever long. I'll try to work my way through it but I've never seen anything like it lol
edit: the magic of notepad++ comes to the rescue. Default windows notepad was a complete mess haha.
If you have any questions on setting it up though, feel free to just ask here.
My control is inverted somehow. When I'm in camera mode, pressing A will open my inventory instead of jumping. What went wrong here?
First you've mentioned it, but it's fixed now.
yeah, you're locked in pointer mode. What happens when you press the Back button once?
thanks, I guess I just never actually asked after I was rummaging around with the package last month.
I'd really like to put together an installer with a wizard for it, but I absolutely need to make sure it can function with Windows 8 and 10 before I really get into trying to work on the solution again.
Ah, went and tested and now I remember why spirit procs feel underwhelming- it's because there's an internal cooldown of 10 sec. So it's rather wasted outside of team fights.
Only Frost Spirit does not have the 10 sec ICD. So it's the only spirit worth using.

Really hope that specializations are the developers way of pleasing people who like a class but yearn for other abilities that if granted would make the class overpowered.
I.e. providing a build that can make a class a tank, high damage dealer or healer without ruining the balance. Imagine greatswords allowing Necromancers to finally hurt inanimate objects like Graveling Mounds. What a wonderful world that would be.

It works! Though I'm sure it wasn't that case last time lol
Maybe it happened because I started Xpadder without the Mouse Script (didn't realize about it until I reread the guide). Now I'm hyped again to try the game with gamepad, thank you!
I'm telling you, launch is August. fits perfectly.

I keep getting connection errors when I try to start up the launcher. Is this common?
Be sure to check if your GW2 connection is enabled on your firewall.

It hasn't mattered up to this point. I was more wondering if the patch servers are down.
I got it to work with some target line shenanigans to change to a different asset server that I found on the official forums. Weird.
I'm thinking June. I just don't see them betaing an expansion for 5 months when they beta'd the base game for 7. There's way less in HoT than the base game, needs a lot less time to cook.

My WvW panel earlier today:

I try to use it on all the platforms I play on.
It's this, if you're wondering.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worry_beads
Invited, hit G, click our guild then click the Represent button at the bottom.

Yeah t3 in NA is pretty terrible. Every t2 server that gets pushed down, completely annihilates t3. I'm on YB and it's a constant struggle in t2 because nobody wants to go to t3.

So people said A/M warrior is good for dps for inflicting vuln, but what if in a party vuln is always 25?
Kos Luftar

Stick to GS I guess when vuln is 25.
Revenant should not be allowed to swap weapons in battle just like Engi and Ele. The channeling of heroes will probably change weapon skills anyway.
Which feature do you want ANET to do deep dive on first?
I want to know everything about specializatons, first.

Finally watched the lore videos (GW1) and read the wiki about the Living World Season 1 & 2. Damn, so much info.
I still have to read all about the game mechanics, so many things to grasp (WvW seems awesome !), sometimes rather complicated (items' levels, fractals). But i suppose everything will make sense ingame.

I like axe offhand for the fury and aoe spin. They have been slowly pumping it up for a while now, but I think it's always been pretty solid.
Yeah, we were talking about that last night in guild chat and it makes sense in that there's a light and medium profession that doesn't use swap so why not a heavy? I also agree that different heroes will swap out skills.
The jungle itself, I want to know how the biomes work, how interconnected they are, how many zones, etc. Specialization and the Revenant and such are cool, but the big moment for those is going to be playing them one piece at a time. The jungle, on the other hand, touches on everything we do in HoT... it's the big puzzle piece, so to speak.
Stuff like Masteries has to follow that topic as well, we need to know what we're exploring before we learn how.
Things will start clicking as you play the game. Feel sure to ask questions in guild chat too!
Well :-/ A DS4 would work fine with our solution, but yeah, it doesn't worth with Windows 8 (yet anyway).
I'm sorry!
You may want to look at Immersive Combat Mode alongside whatever key emulation software (like Xpadder or Pinnacle) is compatible with Windows 8. Some indicate that manually installing the DX runtime might make ICM work.
If you do manage to get anything working for you, please post and let me know! I hate that Win8 players can't experience it, it really works fantastically.
I'm considering returning to this game in February after not having touched it since release. I got to level 80 within a week and explored the entire continent and basically just lost interest. The game was really, really fun, but I just couldn't force myself to keep playing. I've been reading up a little on the changes and it seems like there's a lot of them.
I have about a dozen friends that have begun playing again on Far Shiverpeaks(EU) which was the server I originally started at. My 80 guardian is there, but I'm considering just making a new char from scratch.
Anyone got any links to good overviews (lore, gameplay etc) of what I've missed? Any tips/hints if there are new mechanics/skills to consider?

I've not watched any of these but Bog Otter usually does good work and they're fairly short. Short videos aimed at "boomerang" players. Sorry for the crap mobile link. If you do watch 'em lemme know if they are any good.

Because of this;
I made Gumo Gumo No Baku, the newest GAF Ranger! She is gonna be a pretty crazy Druid one day. I am not a Ranger man, and never will be, but I think she has potential. Once she gets the staff and gets on dat pole, all of Kos' milkshake will bring all the Charrs to the yard!?
And in other news, Mr. Skittlesnickers is now lvl 80. The cutest mesmer in all of GAF.

That creepy dead stare....Asuran's belong to a dragon, the creepy dragon of the south..
I also made a Sylvari ranger after the announcement on Saturday. So far I'm really liking that class. It's making me appreciate how much I put myself on hard mode by leveling a mesmer first, especially since I'm playing through the same zones. I keep getting to certain skill challenges or group fights and thinking "Oh here's that annoying thing that killed Zyra ten times" and then I breeze right through it. If only Zyra had a puppy to do all the hard work.
That thing is a monster. But at least it's a mesmer
Which videos are these?
Build templates
This please. Especially since we're going to be able to swap specializations now, too. Build templates that let me swap weapons, armor, traits, skills, dyes and specializations are my number one requested feature in HoT.
Which is why they probably won't be in.

https://www.youtube.com/user/WoodenPotatoes/playlists but they are incomplete. They're not made by NCSoft. I would have appreciated some short recaps like the ones for the Witcher 2.Which videos are these?

Yeah I honestly can't let go of my axe offhand no matter what people say.
Also Revenants can use dragon magic, or is it some shit Rytlock likes to put out?

That would suck if it is that far a way. It in a way I would have actually prefered Ls3 versus the stupid expansion.
Someone in guild chat said someone was able to get the cursor re-positioning to work in Windows 8. Any idea how to do it? (I'm running Windows 10 but it should be the same.)
