You'll spend a lot of time talking about ARAH at least.

Talking about ARAH or just yelling ARAH back and forth for absolutely no reason?
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
streaking while shouting ARAH?
Thanks again for going through those paths with me. That was a pretty quick 100+ AP. I'm definitely down for a guild Arah 4 event. Hopefully more people will show interest.

Worst uncle.
When HoT hits and we don't have to build / consume guild missions, this could be a real, viable option if there's enough demand for it. I can't speak for the other guild leaders or officers, but I feel like if someone would like to kick off missions at times when most of us are asleep, we can set up the permissions and such so they can at least start missions.
The problem is going to be turn out; you need at least 12 people, though you could theoretically do the Langmar Puzzle with as few as 6 if you were all crazy good jumpers. Since the missions will also be pre-set after HoT, at least you'd know what you were up against and could plan for it.
We really have tried to be as inclusive with the timing of events as possible but obviously we can't get everyone. If there's a demand for it and it doesn't affect our ability to run missions at the other scheduled times (and based on what they said, it shouldn't), I'd be all for it... I just won't be up at 4am or whatever it is local time to help out, but that's no reason someone else can't kick things off when the mission system changes over.

EuroGAF failed hard and so will OcenaicGAF so stop asking for things that suck.
One of the editors at TenTon says some news is coming at noon EST which is in about 10 minutes.
Well, keep in mind it wouldn't be a new guild, we'd just need someone to offer to start missions and get them organized. Normally the leaders/officers handle it but since they're asleep at that hour we can create a special rank for whoever wants to run missions during Oceanic Peak hours.
Without calling anyone out by name, the reason the separate EU guild died is because one individual decided to ignore our advice, start a poll and push for a separate guild before we could have EU players test how the latency was playing from Europe on NA servers. That person then promptly disappeared a few months after launch leaving a bunch of EU players stranded on a server with nobody to play with, and we've been helping them get transferred over ever since.
If I had known then what I know now, I would have told that person to fuck right off and let us handle it, but at the time we didn't want to tell people where they should play beyond "We'll be on SBI."

Oh I misunderstood but that's just as cool anyway. An Oceanic missions time would probably be just halfway in between normal missions and makeup missions.
Probably. Very cool in concept, but the community is probably going to stop reading and chew on the words "players will be allowed to purchase" all fucking day without reading the rest of the announcement to see that the heroes are Free, Free with HoT and unlocked via a reward track, respectively.
Yeah, there's no point in splitting the guild up into different regional factions since the GAFGuild has everything unlocked already and players from around the world can jump on NA servers without too much trouble. Splitting up runs the risk of a guild imploding while the others have to sit, watch and try to rescue as many survivors as possible, like we did when EU GAFGuild went kablooey.

Pay to win overreaction by GW2 community coming in a few minutes.
Since it was kind of edited into my last post, here's the new blog post; Meet the Mist Champions!
I don't disagree with either of these statements. Very odd choice of words the community will flip out over without reading the actual article.
Edit: Already a dev response;
Incoming salt-storm over "at this time."

Seems like people are more pissed off that this isn't "real" news because it isn't about PvE. Also supposedly "nothing" about PVE has been announced since ANET has not talked about the "challenging content".
Two days ago, I applied for a refund for the standard edition of HoT. However, when I login to my account, it says that my account is still a HoT account, and that I cannot purchase the upgrade. Does this mean that somehow my account is messed up, or does it just take a while to remove the expansion from my account?
Has anyone experienced this?
Has anyone experienced this?
It may take them a few days to fix it, I believe they've said that the extra character slot they're giving out won't be added until HoT releases, so there may be something going on where they can't de-activate accounts or something. Did you get your money back already? Because if you got a refund and you're still getting the expansion.. um, congratulations you're getting a free expansion!

No, I didn't get my money yet. The entire reason I applied for a refund was to get the ultimate edition, but eehh.. I guess I should just give it a week and contact support and see what happens.
Usually their customer service is really on the ball, but I've never had any experience with asking for refunds on stuff so maybe it's a more involved process. A week might not even be long enough considering it's a holiday weekend.
Oh right, it's a holiday in the US. I quite forgot. I will wait it out and see what happens then. Thank you.
This I'd do!
Colin has said it will return before. I think I have a screenshot of him saying it in game

THE RUINED CITY OF ARAH: SEER PATH (PATH 4)
SUNDAY JULY 19, DIRECTLY FOLLOWING GUILD MAKE-UP MISSIONS (~4:30 PM EDT)
Event Leaders: UltimateIke, appletoasty, Levyne, and Zeroth

Arah Path 4 is notorious as one of the game's toughest challenges, and we're here to make sure everyone has a good time completing it while proving that friendships will overcome all hardships!
We will step into the dungeon together with as many people as we can find and assemble the greatest teams GAFGuild has ever seen, all to do battle with Zhaitan's most loyal and powerful undead minions.
Requirements:
THE TEAMS
*The number of parties will change depending on how many people we can get to commit. We want each party to be a mix of both more and less experienced players to ensure everyone is able to help where they are needed most.
*Any team formats suggested here are purely preliminary and will be adjusted as needed.
TEAM 1
TBD

We will step into the dungeon together with as many people as we can find and assemble the greatest teams GAFGuild has ever seen, all to do battle with Zhaitan's most loyal and powerful undead minions.
Requirements:
- A level 80 character - Preferably one that is reasonably well-equipped and that you are comfortable playing as. Just be ready to adapt when a fight calls for it!
- Powerful Potions of Undead Slaying - We will provide these if necessary to anyone unable to acquire them.
- Mumble - You won't have to talk, but you will need to listen! We can use Guild and Party Chats for small things, but it will benefit everyone if we can mass communicate via voice chat.
- Time and Patience - We will do our best to shoot for finishing in less than two hours, but we don't want to leave anyone behind! It may take some groups longer than others to clear each challenge, so please be willing to wait and cheer them on so everyone succeeds!
- Superior Sigils of Undead Slaying - Any spare weapons you can fit the sigils onto will greatly benefit from the effect within Arah.

^not cool grouch! How am I suppose to win a pvp match!!!!'
I'd probably use either Ele or Ranger. I have other 80s but I'm the most comfortable on those two.

We could probably take you on a practice run again

Apple, Levyne, Zeroth, and I will probably do several practice runs between now and the actual event, so you're free to join us whenever to fill out the party.
I will join team 1 I guess, gonna bring my guard. I'm just tagging so we can do P4 because each time I ask I get shot down. the path isn't hard, just slightly longer then the other arah path.
If you guys are on after Sat missions I can join in. Or maybe anytime Sat.
You're a Guardian. I'm a Guardian.
I lay down a symbol. Enemy takes 10% more damage.
You lay down your symbol on top of mine. Enemy takes 10% x 10% damage.
Imagine 20 more Guardians all lay down their symbol.
How it's SUPPOSED to work is that YOU do 10% more damage to the enemy when they're in your YOUR symbol. Period end of story no more damage increase beyond that. You(and every other Guardian) are getting the benefit multiplicatively from every Guardian with a symbol down.
I am in Team 4!
Grenadier worked like this: Grenade Barrage the F skill for Grenade Kit, allowed the grenades you lay down just slightly behind an opponent deal damage once when they pierce through the target (which is seven hits) and then also have them take the seven hits upon landing. So with some skillshot play, you could insta down a target in spvp.
