Finally reached the godhood status that is the Divine Dolyak rank after stalling on Demigod Deer for 9 months.

I must hand it to Anet for doing a pretty good job with handling the unranked arena matches. I've noticed definite difficulty increases with each animal rank so far. I finally caved in and tried the guardian hammer meditation meta-build, and WOW what a difference that made to my productivity for my team. The coup de grace to my old "I want to be a semi-unique snowflake" build was when I fought a Charr guardian 1v1 who was actually using my former buildset at mid point. I was using hammer+mace/shield. He was using GS+sword/shield. I handily defeated him, couldn't believe it. CC is king. I am a believer. I am now part of the legion. The Kool-Aid is delicious. Long live metabattle.com.

I lol'd. I have to admit the builds are meta for a reason, and to some extend they enforce the meta that exists. I played a good amount of games with my bunker guardian, but I have to admit he's kinda obsolete nowadays.

Late to the party but happy birthday. Levant.

Hopefully my card issue is soon resolved and I'll rejoin you guys soon.

Hell, I am tempted to buy a 980ti if this one is a bust

 

[Emitan]

Happy late birthday, Levyne ;-;

Thanks, all! Joined. Very interested to play this game now that I have a rig powerful enough to run it at decent visuals with a comfortable desk setup.

Looks like Druid will be previewed for Levyne's birthday.

 

[SourBear]

Looks like Druid will be previewed for Levyne's birthday.

Its not a druid reveal.

1) That isn't a playable race
2) This tweet breaks the conventions of the other reveals including art style, no weapon in the picture, no previous reveals had quotes.
3) That quote is from a GW1 character.

Currently only two things make sense as the most plausible:
1) Its the reveal of another legend for Revenant (non-elite spec.)
2) Its alluding to more difficult PvE content

 

[Quenk]

Looks like Druid will be previewed for Levyne's birthday.

People are speculating that it's a tease for Ventari as a Revenant legend since it doesn't show a staff.

 

[appletoasty]

Centaur playable race confirmed

 

[Zeroth]

What if it's a lore post? 😏

 

[SourBear]

What if it's a lore post? 😏

It could be but I don't think a lore post has ever gotten a teaser tweet before, has it?

 

[Thorgal]

Welp , the card is in for repair or replacement .
is probably going to take 2-3 weeks.

in the meantime i still got some PS3 games to churn through but i want to ask : has anyone ever tried to run Gw2 on a integrated graphics card ?
is it playable ?

 

[Trey]

I'll buy splatoon when the rest of it releases in August.

 

[Boss Doggie]

happy bday to people

I'll buy splatoon when the rest of it releases in August.

the price is still the same tho

 

[Dead]

What are Gaf's thoughts on Necromancer?

 

[Wanderer5]

Finally got mumble up and running, in case the team will use it tomorrow, but I can't seem to find the server that in the OP when quoted.

 

[Morokh]

August is just the big matchmaking update there will be plenty of things added to the game in between starting tomorrow, or well ... today depending on your timezone

 

[Zeroth]

What are Gaf's thoughts on Necromancer?

Depends on what you want to do. Necros got a bit of a short stick in the dungeon meta because, despite having respectable damage, they dont have many party buffs. Its different in PvP and WvW where they can excel in certain roles, but ultimately if you like Necro you should stick to it because plenty of people have fun with it, and people who love playing their classes are always on demand

We're about to launch our first expansion THIS SUMMER!

shamelessly stolen from Reddit.

And nice little bits of info in the video.

 

[Shanlei91]

If you stink at the game you can still outlive other teammates!

We in there.

I reallllllllllllly hope we don't get the Abjured.

So what's everyone playing as? If no one is going DPS I'll bring the Power Ranger to eat NPCs.

That not always the case from what I seen.

And I thinking of bringing my celestial rifle engi still.

 

[Ashodin]

I'm 99% sure it's this.

 

[Wanderer5]

I'm 99% sure it's this.

Plus I would think they show a Sylvari too since one is representing the profession in the official concept art I believe

They been faithful to this in the last teasers for the new specs.

We're about to launch our first expansion THIS SUMMER!

From the thread on Reddit;

DevonCarver
I wouldn't read too much into this. In that we'll announce a date when there is a date to announce. (source)

Can't wait for someone on Reddit to say "But you promised this summer!"

 

[Wanderer5]

So going back to trying to figure out mumble. Where do I find the server? I don't see it in the NA listings.

Server > Connect > Add New... then enter the info that's in the e-mail tags in the first post of this thread (quote my post to see it) or in the guild message of the day.

*high pitched squealing*

 

[Moondrop]

I think we've got:

Lump: Hambow
Moondrop: Celestial staff ele
Kanik: Bearbow
Ashodin: Guard?
Wanderer: Celestial rifle engi

Seems well-rounded.

Well, it depends if they mean the southern or northern hemispheres.

Good luck to the PVPers tomorrow. Hopefully you don't get Abjured the first round.

[Kos Luftar]

Spending a whole week on an elite skill for the new profession seems like a wasted week.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

Well, a Legend is more like an entire weapon set than just an elite skill though?

Ventari being a Legend though. It would be cool if you could something special like talking to the Pale Tree while in that form! Or maybe even Mordremoth itself.

 

[SourBear]

Yea. Its not a skill. Think of it as basically spending a week on an engineer kit. That's essentially what the legends are - except they replace the utilities instead of the weapon skills.

Also, my guess would be that they show a new weapon along with it. Maybe the staff... which I would really love to see.

Jalis was hammer
Mallyx was mace/axe

This new one will probably staff.

And then I forget the name of the other leaked legend but he is probably sword/sword or sword/dagger.

 

[Wanderer5]

Kind of wish they put aside Revenant stuff for the time being to have other professions get their shine already.

I'd rather have the full details of the Rev first. All weapons at least.

 

[Ettie]

Do we have confirmation that the Daydreamer's weapons are going up to 5 tickets tomorrow? The prices on the TP are starting to climb quickly.

It's always two weeks after, no? If so, they will be gone, yes

Thought it was 4 weeks with these sets, well unless that changed recently.

I kind say if I think Rev should have greatsword. In a way, I think they should, but in another way, so many classes have access to greatsword already... But greatsword is the greatest weapon of all time.

Dai-Katanas.. Lightsabers. It's just not a contest. Two handed-sword decapitation followed by a kick to the face. That poetic violence.


There is no finesse to an axe, hammer or a mace. Those things are crude and more fit for sued in manual labor.
Staffs are just portable stripper poles and rifles and daggers are the weapons of a coward.

Bows are okay, but rudimentary.

Swords are fantastic, but one handed swords lack a certain symmetry. If swords was a tinder profile, I wouldn't swipe right. I think.Maybe. hmmmmm.

 

[Ashodin]

I'm playing Medi Guard, but I've been thinking about playing a defensive build that helps the door breakers get to their objectives. I've heard the Tome of Courage's 5 skill can instantly get them to full health (and also works on the Lord (!))

We'll actually have time tomorrow to play some before the tournament, so I suggest we get on early to do so.

 

[Ettie]

The last set was 4 weeks, but I'm not sure if that was an Anet published thing or just wisdom from the playerbase.

I seem to recall them giving a bit of a heads up before they increase the price, but I'm not sure how long in advance it is.
