You know, the irony in all of this is that if wildstar didn't tank, nexon probably would have kept onto the stock, but because wildstar crashed and burned, nexon probably felt that they weren't going to miss out on much.

So a big thank you to wildstar, for making guild wars 2 a better game.

Nah. Nexon wanted direct involvement in management and so intentionally crossed a stock holding threshold to do it. NCsoft's CEO loving hates Nexon's guts so he decided to sleep with the other devil - he signed a deal with NetMarble that called for a stock swap. This weakened Nexon's position and they lost confidence in their ability to stage the hostile takeover, so they cut and ran. It didn't help that the Korean pension fund, which is a big shareholder, voted at the AGM to support NCsoft's CEO.

You can bet your rear end that if they had seen a path to a successful takeover, they would have taken it, Wildstar or not.

Action cam sounds like how I wish GW2 had been built in the first place, but it's neat to see it at least added in.

quote:

Staff – Nevermore. Someone in Arenanet loved the staff so much they set it as a test item and it showed up on some builds. The story behind is taking a spirit and Raven and melding them together. In the beginning you have to prove you a friend of nature and protect it around the world. In collection 3 you are chasing down this raven spirit around the world by creating spyclass that allow you to see the raven around the world. In collection 4 are taming your spirit, showing it your power and showing it how things from the mist can live in the corporal world. You are also getting a raven egg, bless it and treating it. Once the raven hatches you teach it how to fly and meld it with the spirit.

All of them, but they are not really supposed to be any easier or cheaper, just less up to rng.

They're changing reset for a 3rd time, back to Saturday 24 hours after the current one. Apparently this is temporary due to patches for the expansion.

So there's no cutoff date for the preorder character slot when you prepurchase HoT, right? I'm going to be able to buy it on like, Wednesday, and want to know if I'd have to get another slot on my own or if it's pretty much going to put you in the queue to get one right up until release.

As mentioned on today’s GuildChat, we will indeed be adding a slew of new stat combos, runes, and sigils to sPvP with the launch of Heart of Thorns. A small example of what we’ll be adding are trapper runes and sinister stats, but there’s plenty more for you to discover on October 23.
Yessssssssssssssssssssss

Josh Davis posted:

As a note (and to address concerns), we won’t be adding dire stats or perplexity runes to sPvP. We’re vetting and discussing each and every rune/sigil/stat combo as a group before adding them in, with the main goal being improving build diversity.

I’ll also mention that we’re going to be changing the 6/6 bonus on Vampirism. After HoT launch it will no longer proc Mist Form at 25% hp, but will instead cast an AoE lifesteal to up to 5 nearby targets. This will reduce the binary defensive nature of the rune and bring it more inline with similar sets.
Also pretty good.

Exactly this. The dev who thinks this will be good for engineer nades is dreaming. Oh good let me just point the camera at my feet in a group clusterfuck andhgrjxjdhgehrhfhhhgggjh

(also aiming all your nades at a distance using the crosshair is loving impossible, you'll throw up after a minute of bucking the mouse)

GW2 really would have needed to be designed with action cam from the start to work flawlessly with it, but some classes will probably be manageable.

I think I saw something about an option to have aoes centered on your target. Definitely not optimal, but luckily optimal play isn't necessary in the majority of cases.

You can just kinda skim through to see how he targets stuff and changes the camera and that. Pretty much just think any action rpg and you'll have it.
