I'm not convinced he shut down the asura gate from the other side.
Actually, in WoW it was a year of lead-in plot to the Horde leader change (but slooow, since patches were months apart), then the big shake-up (and then again later after Pandas but I wasn't there for that), so all in all, WoW did the same thing, without user engagement other than finishing quests to get a shiny, in triple or quadruple the time the election took in GW2.
I don't know which way is better, to be honest, but I did like the "politics" angle and the roping of players into doing things to gain votes. Anet claims the outcome wasn't predetermined, but I'm skeptical.

I meant if wow were to have a player run election like that. I agree wow has some very intricate and complex lore, but general where the gameplay experience lies, so too does a more simplistic narrative.
Still gotta go over each specialization.

Pinging Zeroth and friends! Dungeon teaching team ASSEMBLE
Whenever people are on is a good time tbh. People ask for dungeons all the time in guild chat, just say you want to go but will need guidance. After work hours EST (6pm - midnightish) is prime time, although a lot of people will wait until after reset/teq to do anything. I am unfortunately busy for Friday and Saturday evening this weekend but if nobody scoops you up before Sunday I can assemble a team and teach you some stuff =)

Apart from the Llama I already have bound to my account, I have two extra - one from a Twitch contest and one as an accident sent from Anet (or maybe another contest I forgot about).
It will be mine. Oh yes. It will be mine.
Isn't that most games? The priority of writing is always simple, it's the execution that matters.
The writing isn't all bad, I like the lore of the world. But moment to moment character writing is usually on the bad side of cheesy.

Power ranger in PvP feels kinda unfair. Fun though. Pew pew pew.

What is it about bowler hats that is just so majestic?
That would be awesome, I'll keep a lookout on guild chat, thanks toasty.
Also update Got an ascended Celestial weapon from Teq today
Nope. But this doesn't bother me.
However... I think future MMO's would benefit greatly out of rogue-like dungeon design here and there.

Im sure. It feels pretty glass cannon.
Still kinda felt like i was hacking in courtyard though.

It's been like that ever since I've started playing...which is like a year and 3 months.
Courtyard doesn't count for much. Most of the time it's just people hanging back and vulturing easy kills - perfect for Ranger longbow shenanigans.

Since the 16th I've been crashing, DC'ing and getting loads of not responding freezes so I hope this patch helps.
It's funny, they clearly don't test their patches properly but they fix bugs very quickly, it's like two different companies.

yeah they take damage being nerfed unintentionally very seriously. So it's not surprising they fixed it quite quick.

No amount of testing is ever sufficient for a live rollout. The number differential between in-house test, and millions of players all connecting at the same time? It's too big, unless they held a closed beta for the patch (which would take even longer).
I don't mind a patch having bugs. I do mind critical issues not being fixed quickly. So far, I don't think ArenaNet has been shown lacking in the latter there.
What's the best stats to have on Elementalists? My Elementalist is currently level 51 and I'm wondering what the best stats for them are. I've always just used straight Power/Vitality gear with no other stat on them. Is this a bad route and should I be using other stats, e.g. toughness, precision, ferocity?

I like celestial for my d/d but you gotta be level 80 for that. For leveling just go with soldier stats.

Yeah I did it to T1 -> T2.
With that said I noticed that I got a lot more T2s than when I promoted T5 to T6.

Fractals used to be more exciting.
Now it is Cliffside every single night.
Now it is Cliffside every single night.
It's worth noting that although lower level promotions are safer and wield a good rate of gold per skill point, they are also much more diluted than higher level promotions, which means you'll forge and sell much more mats to meet the gold average per skill point.
I really think it should be moved to tier 3, with maybe dredge moved to tier 2 or 3.
That said, I'm noticing some real improvement in our cliffside runs (and it's only a matter of time before we consistently destroy the second hand seal before the first.
P.S.: If we have any lurkers that can't post who would like to do GAFractals, just send an in-game mail at Zeroth Breaker.
I would like to do more fractals but I have too many other games to play right now
Go back to SimCity 6

Well, it's less about profit and more for tier 2 mats to craft ascended mats.
I can assure you that this isn't normal for them. This was hands down the buggiest update they have ever released in over 2 years. There seems to be a lot of stuff coming down from the HoT client into live and they're kinda doing live testing of it now so that way when HoT beta opens, it goes smoothly when everyone's eyes are on GW2.
From the last major patch:

That's good to hear, I was really enjoying the game until the patch but since I've yelled "Oh for fuck sake" more than I'd like to due to crashing on bosses and in sPVP. It wouldn't be so bad but you get placed into a different map and lose the boss kill and you don't get credit in PvP when you rejoin.

Since the update guild chat does not work for me. Every time I try to post I get a "You are not a member of a guild." I checked the guild, I'm representing on all three characters. Any work arounds?
you can fix it by going to the LFG page ingame and set yourself to offline and then back to online .
That should fix it .

That did the trick. Thanks.

Wow, I thought they patched it out.
Also kinda sucks for Engies not getting weapon mastery due to their reliance on tool kits.

It may be slightly harder due to kit but it is still quite doable,anyway you should swap kit often to get the most of everything just don't forget to unequip the kit at 20% of your foes health, pistol and riffle are fine, but like every other offhand weapon only shield is a pain.
Note that the first weapon mastery achievement I obtained was pistol on my engi

I only read it on Saturdays to make sure fever is happening. Speaking of, I have a new rig with a working mic so I could start talking on Mumble. I'm an introvert so I probably won't but, at least the possibility exists now anyways.
