Even with this revelation I'm still playing through story with my main first and then I'll go through it with my Sylvari Necro.

I'll probably focus on finishing story and LS with Necro for the rest of this month. I think I'm at Claw Island missions right now.

Understandable. I'm still fairly on the fence if I want to main Rev, I like Necro a lot and Reaper looks cool, but having something with party support would be a nice change of pace.

Idle/running animations while wielding a staff are not planned to change at this time. There are, however, a couple of animations being worked on as development continues.

Nooooo it's Yom Kippur ;_; Gotta go to my aunt's right after work. I really hope I can make it home to go jumping I wanna jump
 

Dash – The extra distance has been removed for now as well. Dash now breaks immobilize in addition to its other effects. For now, the animation is just going to run you in the direction you’re dodging.

Impaling Lotus – The jump has been removed, as it caused issues that couldn’t be remedied. I’ll update if other things happen.

Look- I get the Daredevils unique Dodge mechanics were crazy, but taking away Lotus. That was really interesting and a different take on dodging. I really hope they have something else that is really cool!



And I hope they change their minds on the running animation. I can't decide if humans look weird running with a staff (daredevil/herald) because the length on most staffs are short (even Guild Staff, sorry Ash) or if its because they are running like they are Usain Bolt, with their elbows completely in to their chest.

It looks "okay" with a magic staff, but for a melee weapon it looks really weird. This though, is one of those things that people complain about in any game. People always have a problem with animations with these things!

Still think it's odd that they promote Jennifer Hale as ton as the voice of Queen Jenna, but don't push that she is also the voice of the playable female Syvari, a role you spend much more time listening too. I don't think they even mentioned that during the HoT reveal.

Also, she's really cool in real life, i've met her twice so far. She didn't have anything to sign at Pax south, so she signed my badge and took a picture with me (and pretty much everyone else).

That's why you should always carry around a martial arts weapon.

Also, out of all of my characters, I think her Sylvari Female voice is the closest to what I imagine in my head when I think of my character actually speaking, if that makes sense. Asuran Male is pretty close though too... female Asuran gets brownie points for the "You'll leave a dumb corpse" line though.
 
Thank you to everyone who attended the jumping puzzles and mini-dungeon tonight!

I see three winged jumpers, so I'm not sure who should feel bad (or caught?) about not being an angel. Smart money is on apple since her head was cropped. Or is that falling, not jumping?

I honestly wasn't expecting this:

Wow, lots of skins unlocked it appears.

Here is mine, thanks for bringing this to my attention, cool site. the Rawk Hawk on hold for my Rev, Mrs Leftpaw being my beta character obviously.


edit: put in quotes for size, also looks like everyone has a lot of skins, damn Forerunner. Also missing from the photo, total account was worth 1,275 gold. :/

I saw a LFG listing recently that required TS3 and GW2efficiency, I dunno if it was for a guild or dungeon run. Neither's good exactly but maybe one is less bad?

I'm guessing gw2effiency is for proof that someone is running a meta build. Seems a bit much for lfg imo

Do any of you use any special tools or overlays or websites while you play? That timer site looks useful, anyone use the overlay version they say they have?

I have been seeing listings like that for weeks and assumed they were a guild focused on gw2efficiency that required ts and was recruiting, because it sounded so ridiculous. I guess its a natural progression from the "ping your gear" lfgs

Only overlay thing I use is this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2s3v8j/whentosalvage_overlay_for_rainmeter/ Very simple and I use it all the time. It's just a Rainmeter thing, it sits on top of my GW2 client.

I don't feel the need to use anything else. If I need a timer I can just stick the wiki page up on a second monitor, it has waypoints and countdowns, that's all I need. I only ever do Karka-Tequatl-Maw for world bosses on a good day.

Also, a lot of add-ons for this game might be unapproved, make sure that they don't do anything against the ToS before you start using stuff :x

I hate that I missed this. I was planning to be there, but had no idea just how exhausted I was gonna be after both an early Dentist appointment and a late afternoon Dr. Appt, complete with poking, prodding, pushing, pincushioning and vaccines. Wow.. my arms are bruised and battered and I feel like I was inspected for slaughter or something. dang.. .remind me to never do that again all in one day. There's always next week tho!

No Druid blog reveal?

Man, Ranger really getting left out in the cold.

Nah they want to reveal it all tomorrow without IGN spoiling everything. Tomorrow's stream is a very big thing for them. It's the single largest panel they've had since prior to launch. I'm gonna bet that they have a tight seal on any and all info.

Man you guys have characters that are worth more than my whole account.

Me and my 548g net worth...

Oddly enough a Warrior I leveled randomly and never used and my guardian are my highest characters.. I'm guessing character net worth doesn't take into consideration Ascended stuff since the weapons/armor have no TP value? Poor Lucy, looks like I never get her nice things...

It will be streamed around this time tomorrow, right?
 
All I'm learning from this is that I need a few more character slots.

Also I totally thought one of my charas was a mesmer instead of an elementalist, that's why I have two now. X_x
