That's not what I said at all. What I said is that there's less emphasis on people equipping CC skills on every slot imaginable, and more on using them wisely with their party.
My point about blind is not that it is better than other CC skills, but that making it work on defiance allows different classes to contribute to wearing down a defiance bar in their own way.
And I don't think that's the idea behind this change. I would say there's less focus on gearing yourself for CC because you need, and more on making your CC skills relevant as you use them. No warrior should replace their 3 utilities with CC utilities to offset a party member, but use their CC on an opportune moment with their team. Teamwork seems to be the key here, not being the guy who has 7 CCs.
From what I've read, they want to reward good CC use, and not punish people for not using them. And that's fine, it gives incentives to people to strive to be better over punishing them for facts that are outside their control.

I was in no way actually serious about filling every slot with CC. You'd be useless for every phase in the fight other than when the defiance bar was up.
A lot of warriors carry zero CC in general PvE. None on sword, none on axe, none on greatsword, none on bow, none on warhorn. Rifle, mace, shield, and hammer have all of it, and most of the players I see running about completely ignore those. In addition, the physical utility skills get largely ignored for shouts and signets.
My example was entirely one of excess showing the other end of the spectrum and not meant to be representative of what people would really use. But it shows all of the options one would have to choose from.

Oh, I know that, silly Ike-chan. I would have a hard time seeing you using so many CC skills. My point was in response that people would equip multiple CCs to compensate for people without them. I would say we both think similarly on what is coming up.

Seriously, the camera thing is crazy good news.
We got used to it since launch, but the way it was always panned down made it hard to enjoy the scenery and big bosses.
Also, won a mini Llama from some contest.

The problem with the llama is that it's too good.
Makes all other minis pointless. They'd need an awkward penguin wearing a tophat mini to get me to even think about switching.

I'm so going for the enhanced camera settings.
I wonder though; I have three 1080p monitors in surround mode that I swear gives me a ~200 degree FoV; can I shrink that to 180 in the new camera settings?

they should announce some sort of machinama competition when the camera changes goes live!
I still think I prefer the Super Bee Dog. Very close though.

Congrats on your buygate transfer, and expect during major WvW tournaments to be 2v1 and lose...
Scooting his arse along the ground animation edges it for the Bee Dog.

I'm more hyped for the collision thing. Finally, no more scary x-ray close-ups when stacking!
I told myself ,the first t1 server that allows transfers , i take .
It became blackgate surprisingly enough, considering everyone and their mother want to get in apparently

We did 3 whole Arah paths last night in less than 2 hours and at no point did I want to crawl into a hole and die. Yaaaaay improvement

You chose wisely, BG is a beast, TC and JQ have to 2v1 to keep them from winning, but if you notice i called them Buygate, they go to other servers and buy off WvW guilds, they pay for their transfers, promise WvW victory, and etc, BG was more like trash gate until they bought their WvW population.
BG is the New York Yankees of Guildwars, can't win shit without over spending..
That's why you shouldn't do Arah without me
That's not the true ARAH experience.
True ARAH experience involves 1 path, at an ungodly time at night, taking 3 hours and one person bolts at the final boss.
So I finished my 8th 80. Here they are in order I made them. I went into the game thinking I would only ever have one character, lol.
Apparently I like Purple, Red, Yellow, and Black.

A bit over a third of the way to my total. You're catching up.

I use th same PvP build

I don't see why not. The UI will be completely unusable, but you could at least explore with it. Wooden Potatoes has a video of it hacked into GW1, and since the FP view looks exactly the same, it should work. I'll see if I can find it.
EDIT: Here it is.
Poor framerate in GW2 will be one of the biggest issues with it. I'm pretty sure you need at least 60fps steady for a decent experience. GW1 is an old game, so it's easy to hit a high framerate there.

I keep getting BSOD crashes at cutscenes and during character creation, and it's a real pain. If I don't skip the conversation, the game freezes and I get BSOD unless I kill the process. Same thing as soon as I hit create, game freezes, works fine for a few seconds, freezes again, then BSOD, with VIDEO_TDR_ERROR.
I'll submit a ticket on this eventually. I haven't gotten blue screens in a long time, and this is getting on my nerves.

Could be faulty Drivers . have you tried Rolling those back to a previous version ?
I'm not the best at tech support, but is this really an issue you expect customer support to solve with a ticket? Sounds like it's an issue with either your hardware or operating system.
What a great colour scheme to go with his fur colour. Now I almost regret deleting all of the Charrs I created. Almost.

Who won the lottery?
I'm supposed to meet up with hawkian just before makeups for the server transfer so we'll probably join in on that for the first time
Exeoul won. I think it was 71g this week.
