Come on with the goddamn GRENTH HOOD. ARE YOU SHITTING ME ANET?? I'm sitting here all like
just gief it to us

For what it's worth, today is the last day the Living World Season 2 pack will be on sale (40% off). I'm sure they'll discount it again later so this isn't anyone's last chance, but if someone was interested in seeing the lead up to HoT, now's as good a time as any. It's no Grenth hood though (or bunny ears, I wanted them for my Asura Mesmer).
Guild Makeup Missions in 15 minutes!
Be sure to join us on Mumble (Quote the OT for info) and rock out with us on https://plug.dj/gaf (please be respectful of the guild policies when selecting your music!)

I had great fun everyone! Zeroth especially helped me a lot during that spider rush race thing before the dungeons. That trial felt like my bane.
Excellent Make-up missions and dungeons, everyone.
- The final Elite Specialization, the Druid, will be revealed this week at TwitchCon.
- Supposedly more big news coming out of TwitchCon as well, the show is Friday and Saturday. Not sure what specific times ArenaNet will be presenting so watch this space!
Likewise, I had a nice fast P1 run with Callunah, Khavi, Techwolf and Tyliout;
Spider rush is a tricky one because it's not immediately clear where you need to go or how to get there thanks to all of the vertical movement. The other Rushes aren't quite so bad and tend to be straight forward; detect traps, move ahead, repeat. The exception is the Karka Rush, but that's just because South Sun is a deathtrap.

Not a fan of HotW so far. I usually love the Kodan locations but the dungeon looked pretty dull
At least my party rocked
and I managed to grab this screen that I really like.
Great party it was indeed.^.^ What your Tumblr btw?
Yeah Spider Rush's vertical stuff confused the hell out of me the first couple runs through. And heh Karka Rush ain't bad if you have the middle camp and broodmother event in check.
I... uh... wow... thanks <3My party was awesome as usual
This is AWESOME raaaar
OhNoSpyware! I tag all GAF-related posts with "Gaming Age Force" if you only wanna see those
Just notice Charrlie in the back there lol along with the rytlock figure on the other end. Such a wonderful plush.<3

Sweet, such nice pics.
I know to only buy this game from authorized sellers so don't worry about that, and have looked at the list from the official site, but since Canada has literally 0 (Which sucks), I have a question.
What's the status with region locking and codes and all that? Do I need an NA one? Or can I get a UK one? Can I look through the authorized sellers of Europe and it will work for me if I buy? Or is my literal only option direct from the gw site (Which makes the base game like 77 bucks)? What up with this someone help, I need to save money.

★ Jumping Puzzle Event Series ★
This event will take place 30 minutes after server reset (8:30 PM EDT) on Wednesday night.
Around 10 minutes before the event, we will hop into Mumble and start collecting at the entrance to the zone to help anyone missing the waypoints. We'll get started as soon as everyone is ready!
(I got a new job, so this is the last regularly occurring JP event I personally will be able to organize.)
★ Dungeon Event Series ★
All dungeon runs will take place after the completion of Sunday Guild Make-Up Missions (~4:30 PM EDT). Events should be expected to take no longer than two hours.
These events are intended to be rather casual, and they will be very new-player friendly. Players of every experience level are encouraged to participate, so please invite anyone who you think would like to join.
For each full party that completes a given week's dungeon run, five gold will be added to a door prize from which one participant's name will be drawn. So if five parties complete the event, you have a chance at winning an extra twenty-five gold! The more people who show up, the more money you can win!

Will this work for me in Canada? http://www.gamesrocket.co.uk/promo/Guild-Wars-2-Heart-of-Thorns?currency=CAD
EDIT1: Wait this is just better in every way I think http://www.gamesrocket.com/Promo/Guild-Wars-2-Heart-of-Thorns?currency=CAD
EDIT2: Well the price changes when you pick the us one so I assume I'd need the NA version. Why is Canada completely missing for all information, we exist I swear
That gamesrocket site is in their list of authorized sellers but I have no idea how the regions of codes works

I really cannot stress that you should get it directly from ANet for the time being. Until it's sold via something like GMG and other more reputable sites, I wouldn't buy elsewhere.
I'm not going shady, I'm only touching the list they have published themselves on their official reseller thingie. But Canada not being there is making things difficult.
Might just have to suck up and spend the extra 15 bucks. But I don't like losing money and that 15 bucks has plans so I am looking first
Fuck it, life is too short to worry about a handful of dollars I'd spend on a book or something anyways. Bought the game normal
I am now a full member. I kinda miss the red "buy now please" in game bar that was in the top left. That splash of red was nice. The trade offs are worth it though

I miss that red bar
Anything I should know now that I am not f2p?
Whisper everyone.
Don't
You get daily login rewards. They give some decent stuff, especially laurels, which can be converted to gold easily. You don't lose your position if you miss a day, so don't worry about that.
I whispered everyone. Then read your spoiler.
This is your fault.
(Also where can I see my login chest thingie?)

I mentioned on Mumble yesterday during dungeons that we might be rescheduling, but we decided to leave the remaining set of dungeons as it is right now, on Sundays after makeup missions at 4:30pm EDT.
The Arah weeks might get a bit hairy since it's a little bit tougher than any other dungeon in the game so I will need to see if we have any people who run Arah regularly who are willing to lead up a group :x Or maybe it'll be fine and we can just smash everything and I'm just being paranoid, I dunno.
EDIT: Also, Zeroth and I are going to organize the jumping parties in Ike's stead, but we're only going to do them once a week on Wednesdays. Same time, 8:30pm EDT.

Default staff animations - running, idle in combat, and basic attacks - Do we know if these are going to be changed for Herald and Daredevil?
I saw people really hoping for changes as they are borrowing their animations from the caster-staff users. It would be interesting if they would do something else with them!

I never hop on this, but since the banned youtube at work, I'm going to try it out today and see if I can sneak around to listen to songs on it, haha.
Edit: I'm not familiar with SoundCloud, but seem to work, the YouTube videos still won't work. May have to pop in here when one of those songs gets stuck in my head. As well as during missions and such, it's a pretty cool site, thanks Callunah for setting it up!

Nope. Not at this stage. It is also why no brand new weapons were introduced to save money.

I just tried it, works fine for me.
Well the path 4 event we did look to had went smooth for the most part at least and that was the longest and hardest (?) path of the bunch. Just be lacking a few of the more experience folks this time (like Ike, which congrats on the new job btw)?
And aw was only able to make it to the Friday JP events for the time being, oh well.
Its been working fine for me on both computers/browers.... tho if you are using any CAPS in the gaf part of the addy, you will get an error. ? Ive had that happen before to me. For some reason their urls are crazy Case sensitive.

Path 1 is the hardest imo, which is a shame cause it's probably the first one most people will try
2 and 3 are easy once you know what you're supposed to do (and have a thief so you don't have to spend an extra 10 minutes clearing trash), 4 is straightforward but it's just loooong. Path 1 is a huge pain in the ass. Lots of oozes that split infinitely and trash drakes that drop huge poison fields it hurts.We'll see what attendance is like for the JPs. If Fridays are better for everyone who wants to come then we can move it. Since there's only 2 of us organizing now it's a bit tricky, Zeroth and I sometimes do real-life things on weekends and can't be online and it's less likely that our real-life things will overlap on a Wednesday. I'm willing to move it to accomodate everyone if that's what people want :3.

If you need a helping hand for the dungeon and teaching or however you want to call leading, especially arah in this case, I could always help. I'm pretty much always on on the weekend. Also I still find p1 not that hard, yes it is slightly more complex then p2 but still fine.

A lot of those armor sets are F N ugly anyways..
The removal of so many armors makes me wonder if they're maybe going to introduce them in game as earnable rewards? I know they said armor in the future would only be put into the game as actual rewards and outfits would be for the gem store. Also, removing THAT many finishers is crazy unless they have an equal or greater amount coming with HoT.
