Due to a family emergency, the two raids I promised I'd lead today will have to be postponed. Sorry.

I have ~insider~ info that everything is on the back burner until raids are finished. Raids are considered the flagship of the expansion at ANET, it sounds insane but there you go.

Just like all those Wildstar devs we hired am i rite?

Whoa thank you! I'll hit you up in game and see what works
Likewise, I have a pretty good handle on the Hero Points in Verdant, Auric and Tangled so if you see Mercurius.7314 on (don't bother with individual character names, I have tons of alts and flip between them quite a lot) then I can help with stuff, too.

Oh yeah tivac there's some kind of issue with the guild upgrade ui and guild panel ui opening both at the same time/within seconds of each other. It will crash the game 100% of the time everyone I've had test it has the same issue.

There's issues with opening just the guild upgrade ui by itself and god help you if you talk to the dedicated guild treasurer.

Yup what the other guy said, it's random. Sometimes it's super nice and appears in the same area, other times it's so far away that you basically skip that burn phase because you can't fly with a bazooka from the crash site to the head in time.

Really wish it look like half an hour to get to this phase rather than an hour+, it just makes me never want to do it again because it takes so godddamn long and is so repetitive.

Raids are awesome, I'm on the gw2 forum advocating for: DPS meters, difficulty modes, LFG system and leaderboards. So both casual players and hardcore players are against me.

I"m also reminding everyone of what happened to fractals (in 4 days time it will be 2 years since new content) dungeons (dead) sab (dead) and wvw (ignored) which is exactly what will happen to raids once they're finished.

I'm getting a bunch of angry whispers about it.

So I've been splitting my time between a mesmer and a necro. They are both fun but the necro feels a lot stronger and having a permanent speed buff is nice. Will it be hard to find groups as a reaper or should I stick to my mesmer if I want to be useful? I don't really do PvP stuff.

It won't even matter if you don't have ascended gear to pass the gear-check required for endgame content.

Just hopped into this game because I tried it a year+ ago on a friend's account and it was a lot of fun, so I figured HoT was a good time to make my own account.

When should I do crafting/town exploration stuff? Like exploring Lion's Arch, etc. It's all % exp, so I feel tempted to save it for the 70s to take advantage of that.

Nah it's not really like that. You get more ways to gain XP as you level up and there is no exponential curve. Just do what you find most fun at the time. Grinding your first few characters is a good way to get burned out quickly.

Crafting is a gold sink. It is useful, but not something you want to invest in until you have some money to throw around. You will probably make most of your money from selling materials at first.
