Try getting pointed in the right direction while you're still riding it up.

Still unable to log-in. Anytime I try to boot up a character the zone loading screen goes on then eventually brings up the Network Error popup and boots me back to the launcher. What the gently caress.

the first mastery stuff in each line tends to be really important for poo poo like getting around. it's genuinely easy to level those, and if someone somehow don't have time to get even those then i'm curious as to how they managed to do anything at all in the base game. notable exceptions being nuhoch wallows and updraft usage which are second in their respective lines, but even those don't take much effort and they aren't as important as bounce shrooms or exalted reading.

Nuhoch wallows, updraft, and bounce shrooms are amazing. I can understand not having time to play, but of you're going after other stuff first you're crazy.

I guess Lost Precipice is gated in the same way, you need to glide (which is a level 1 mastery) to get to the entrance don't you? Until you get one person there who can be use for teleport to friend, etc I used teleport to friend since I joined in with Cletus before I even entered the new zones, heh

Also as a heads up I have 30 dyes in the pack and I'll get mail suppressed trying to send them out so they won't all arrive together. The dyes are below, I think it's about 15-20g worth and should cover the basic gamut of all colours: code:

I hope to have bouncing mushrooms by tomorrow, but it'd be neat if the event's exp gets me updraft. Despite knowing how bad it was when broken, I really hope it isn't fixed because I want to see what all you had to go through for SFD's hall.

Can anyone give me a TLDR version of what GS guild hall event we're doing? Day and time? What are we achieving? What is required/suggested to be done beforehand (waypoints, masteries, etc)? I'm ignorant of all things, but especially guild halls. I know GS was doing something on Saturday but I was unable to join in at the time. No idea what was or was not done.

Guild Hall stuff can be done with a handful of people, generally a good idea since if you bring the entire guild the scaling just goes batshit.

I found turning off name bars cut my load times in half or more, just tried that a couple days ago. Or maybe one of their twice-daily patches did it?

Do SSDs even affect GW2 loading times? I have all my games on SSDs and GW2 doesn't load as fast as the singleplayer ones do.

It would apparently be even slower on a normal hard drive.

Yes, SSD's affect GW2's loading times, quite a bit if you're going from an older spinning drive to a new high quality SSD (like an Intel or Samsung EVO). A lot of singleplayer games definitely are more affected by this change than GW2 for sure.

It's seriously worth it dude, in every way, it will blow your mind even the first time you boot up Windows with one. Get a Samsung 850 EVO, they seem to be regularly on sale everywhere and are excellent.

I have one just for my OS, and it makes a huge difference for boot times. There's an SSD megathread in SHSC, but they're going to tell you the same thing Arus is: A Samsung 850 EVO (or 840 EVO) is your best bet. (I should totally upgrade my SSD...)

LemonAIDS posted:Just beat the story and I felt like some parts were unique to being a Silvari. Are there any differences in the story if you are/aren't Silvari? Yes, a lot of the story is different based on your race. Obviously in HoT, it's going to be way different for sylvari compared to everyone else. It's one of the subtle, cool things in GW2.

Yeah it's worth noting that Logan sucks no matter what though, even if the human story still tries to make him a bit more sympathetic, he's still a goonlord who would probably let his own mother bleed out on the street if it meant getting 5 more minutes to sniff Queen Jenna's hair. Human story really is the worst for base game at least.

The story wasn't amazing, but it was immensely better than the poo poo that was S1. It doesn't help that all missions in S1 are: Exposition Dialog Fight Against 10 waves of monsters Exposition Dialog Fight Against 20 waves of monsters Exposition Dialog Fight Against Boss With 10x more HP that he should have Exposition Dialog
