I'd like to do some adventures but regardless of how to do them I can never figure out or remember how to get to any. Any guide along those lines? Something like "Adventure #1: Go to Waypoint A and run this direction".

You can also do hero challenges in verdant or auric, then open the reward bags in Tangled depths for those precious ley crystals instead of the other currency.

Somebody in my guild told me WvW was a ghost town now. I played it a bit of it yesterday after I got access on my F2P account at 60, and it did seem like there weren't a lot of people. Is WvW worth playing? Is there something else people are doing instead? It was pretty good loot and experience for me even if it wasn't slammed with people.

You can 'buy' hero points with Proof of Heroics (acquired by opening Chest of the Mists for gaining WvW rank) and Badge of Honor doing WvW. You need 1 Proofs and 5 Badge to unlock 1 HP from central Tyria (non HoT map), or 10 Proofs and 50 Badges to unlock 10 HP (1 hero challenge) from HoT region. Since it 'completes' random hero challenge, if you happen to have map completion on central Tyria but use 1 Proof you won't gain any more HP from central Tyria.

Also it only completes hero challenge on the character used.

e: Although Proof is soul bound, you can just put it in your bank and use it like it's account bound. Visidian found this out.

At this point I just want some legendary armor previews so I can determine my appropriate level of desire to raid.

The heavy boot department as it presently stands is pretty weak.

Agreed. Ten variations of scaled boots is not enough. I want at least fifteen.

edit: I got it with help from Don (thanks Don!!!) but I still think it's lame if they're going to keep locking exclusive stuff behind expensive packs, if they never sell it separately down the line somewhere.

I had to take a leap of faith cause SFD is the highest lvl guild and the only one able to unlock it.

How do you know we're the highest level guild? Is there a ranking or something? I assume any outlets like reddit is just self-reporting.

Not like this. Never did progression just flat-out stop the way that it does with the Mastery system.

My character is parked in a CoF farm with an AutoHotkey script running and I don't even care.

daylight ssssaving time
Here is the video from the Goon + SFD killing the Vale Guardian kill the other day. At least four different continents represented.

If you haven't done the raid yet, the main mechanic you hear called out is the green circle, or "circle". That is the wipe mechanic that does I think ~12k damage to everyone in the raid. If four+ people stand in the green circle as it ends though, they take the ~12k damage and it is split up between them instead.

Blue circles are the teleport mechanic, you'll hear some "dodge" calls, which is referring to these blue circles but you should be watching out for these yourself as ordinarily they aren't called out. I think the five closest people will get a blue circle in early phases, with all ten getting them in third phase.

Annoying for the kill video I played pretty sloppily. I wasn't one of the five people designated to the green circles, so it's mostly melee and blue circles.

Wow, you need 40 crystalline ore AND 10 guild commendations per recipe of guild armor piece. That means you need whopping 720 crystalline ore and 180 guild commendations for all the pieces :v: Not to mention the fact that nobody knows how to make guild insignia.
