That a sick background there.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
but I don't want SAB for the whole gap!
All the media and comments feel to me that we're getting this expac sooner than later. I expect we'll know more about the new borderlands and Guild halls by the end of this month, especially with the closed beta (with no NDA) about to start.
I think we'll have a firm release date and price announced by April.

Finally 15k ap, only 21k to go! lol
Hellfire Mantle look pretty good, better than the Radiant ones.

Grats!
I disagree.
...but I'm a bit tired of "fire armor" generally. Lots of people wear that type of stuff since GW2 has a couple of sets with a fire theme and it's "cool", generally with "lazy dye jobs" (abyss + wrath or something) too. I like fiery weapons but I've never liked the idea of fiery armor.
But I do like your character more than most fiery themed ones, I have to say

The Radiant set looks good on your Charr, however it looks bad on my Sylvari though. I went with Radiant first because the Guardian and light theme. However, the shoulders are ridiculously large and the helmet just looks funny on her. The gloves are the only piece that look decent.
Yeah I understand
I usually have lots of trouble finding shoulders I like on any character, especially since a pretty early patch that made all shoulders even bigger (why!?). On sylvari females I only use one body type since the other ones I like make all the shoulders too big. With the one I'm using at least some look good.But generally i can only use a handful of all the shoulder skins without hating the look
For a while it felt like ALL my characters had Vigil's Honor Mantle, Sneakthief Shoulderguards or Barbaric Pauldrons, and I still use them on at least two characters each.

Everyone though GW2 would come out April 28th 2012 because Anniversary of GW1...that worked out well.
From a guy on reddit who went to PAX:
That's 9 weeks, minimum, just for specializations. Add another week for the Revenant, too. There is still a ton of other stuff they'll cover as well.
EDIT: I completely forgot they already did a post on Revenant, so scratch that one.

Well, I guess that answers the questions I had about skills like Rampage back when they first announced the change.
Also means you basically can't boon strip it since the stacks will pulse back one second later. Sounds more like a buff than a nerf in cases like that.
How long are the stacks? Can you stack multiple stacks? That seems a bit powerful.
Given Rampage is a trash skill, maybe this will make it more useful in certain metas. I would be more concerned with Lich Form if I were you

The way they described it makes it seem like you get three stacks every second, but the three stacks have a one second duration. So every second, you get a new three stacks to replace the previous three.
And yeah, the other transformation elites are probably going to work this way (or similarly) too. Elites that actually seem elite!
I'm not sure I buy that, but it's certainly possible considering each specialization is gaining a new mechanic that will need to be explained.
Also, folks expecting August are probably closer to correct, but I think because they're at the high end of the low expectations. September or October might be more realistic, but... we'll have to see.
I think we heard the same thing, that's why I expect it later too. They're not as far along as people think if that's the case.

What have you guys heard?
The bunker meta's final form.
All this time I wondered where the elementalist's dance from GW1 came from.

Learn to troll better.
Step 1: Join the guild (you were certainly kicked due to our regular cullings), just give us your character or account name and we will work on that
Step 2: Ask in guild chat
Step 3: Realize that as soon you get exotic gear, you will be set for life in the game, gear-wise

So WvW huh? I've read about it, watched videos and I still have no fucking idea what to do, I just run around aimlessly, get frustrated and log off. It was something I thought would be awesome but it's just so overwhelming. I thought I'd be able to see my team and group up but you can't see anyone but the commander unless you're really close to them. How am I supposed to get into this as a new player? Any advice?
So I guess the Stability changes are coming in tomorrow's patch, according to that Reddit thread. Should be interesting to play around with it. I'm all for buffing Rampage, that is still my favorite skill in this game (aside from the story mission where you become Balthazar's avatar, that shit is ballerrrrrrrr)
Enter borderlands, ask "where's the zerg? / where are we?", group up with whichever commander is currently leading the charge.
Basically, in the beginning, you can contribute by:
1 - making sure you have supply on hand - you get these from camps, hit 'f' at the barrels and make sure you're at max (10). Whenever your zerg goes to take down a wall or door, the big guys will throw down the plans, you just use your supply to build the ram/cata/etc...
2 - Sticking close in teamfights - when you do run across another horde, for now it's best to just stick to the commander. Do your part by buffing your comrades, rezzing, concentrating attacks with others.
3 - Take territory! It's a mad dash, but if you have a decent sized group and capable commander, you'll roll from one area to the next. Destroy outer defenses, sprint to the center, kill the NPC lord/boss, claim that objective.
You'll learn priorities and locations as you go, but for now - find out where the group is, join the group, keep up with the group.
Best of luck

Have supply. Use supply. Go to commander tags like iron shavings to a magnet. EZPZ.

I didn't do like a single end game dungeon, not even sure what I'm wearing is good. What is exotic gear?
i had a little fun editing a couple of my screenshots
hope you guys like it
mount maelstrom

2/10 armour.
Huh, that's a shame. Hopefully they get it all sorted out.
It's one of the qualities of gear; Junk (grey), Basic (white), Fine (blue), Masterwork (green), Rare (yellow), Exotic (orange), Ascended (pink) and Legendary (Purple).
Ascended gear is technically the best, but since it's such a small stat increase over Exotic (<5%) and time gated, Exotics are what most people are wearing at 80.
Oh okay I know what you mean, just been so long I forgot the name for that.
Is there any way to reroll the stats on an ascended item? I got Claymore of the Sunless from a loot box but its got the wrong stat set....
There is not, but if it's any consolation, all Sunless items have the same stats (Rabid IIRC), so you wouldn't be able to reroll it
Invited ya to the guild. Press "G" in-game, click on "Accept" then "Represent".
I'm pretty sure you'll have even more on your plate when the expansion hits. It's better to get used to stuff now and then see how it goes!

Excited for specilizations but knowing they will require 1 week each means game is far from releasing. Especially since the only thing being shown at rezzed is the new WvW map.

I really hope the defiance thing is applicable to players too and not just enemies.
Heh there's no such thing as a reset with HoT. There's no start over, just more to do. Nothing you have done or ever will do in GW2 will be invalidated by an expansion now or in the future.

Which is the single best thing about both this game and its predecessor. The focus on gameplay over raw progression is brilliant, even if it costs it some concurrent players.

what are the most effective way to get tomes? I've gotten them from sPvP and personal story, but these are new to me.
Undoubtedly, the idea of content invalidation in MMOs just baffles me. It flat out doesn't make sense to work on content for months/years and then it be worthless once you release more. Imagine if over time your favorite FPS maps were taken out of the game you played and replaced with whatever was new. That's how nearly every MMO handles content.
I get plenty from pvp and the daily log in. I think each pvp track gives 8
PvP is where I get most of mine, although the login rewards for a month give in total 10 tomes per month.
Speaking of PvP, today I got the Champion Paragon title on my main character. Feels good to unlock these titles because I consider them the highest title each class can get, and they really show one's dedication. Now I'm excited to get more of em in my other characters.
