You weren't "hacked", you either are using the same password you used elsewhere or your computer is infected with malware. Why do you not have two-factor authentication on, or at the very least those network logon alerts?

I literally haven't played in 2+ years, for all I know this happened years ago.

It's also entirely possible I got super drunk and decided I wanted to start over and deleted all of them, but I haven't played since early 2013 so I have no idea what happened.

How do you get fulgurite from Dragon's Stand?

You need Ley Line Sparks for Fulgurite, only sources of those (afaik) are Tangled Depths and Dragon's Stand. Tangled Depths is awful, so do Dragon's Stand.

Don't think you get ley line sparks in DS, just crystalline ore.

You can get Ley-Line Sparks from Noxious Pods.

I'm pretty happy with the changes to Tangled depths. It would be nice if they actually fixed it for real, but I really only care about getting the chak eggs so I can get the weapons, not actually beating the gerent. Plus I also got some chak acid as an event reward, so now I can actually open caches without spending my measly amount of ley line crystals.

how do they fix it though without instantly making it piss easy like tarir or dragon's stand, that's the real question.

Yeah, but DS is a couple million xp a go and I was on Thanksgiving break :downs: It wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be but it was still pretty time consuming.

Kenshin you can poke me in game if you want! Lorikeet/Widowbird.

These wvw rumors are horrible, so I'm guessing they're 100% confirmed at this point.

There aren't any WvW guilds large enough to make maps populated in a system like that, entire servers can't keep them populated.

They should make it piss easy. It's an open world event that needs to be able to work with the lowest common denominator idiot captain shithead pubbie because they still deserve to do/complete content. You want a challenge, go to the raid.

Agreed, if somethings too hard or annoying people just won't do it outside of a verrrry small population. Triple wurm, aether, raids, old orr.

An entire zone like this with personal story and mastery points is a bit much.

Gemstore shop item, might be out of commission right now, dunno. They now even just change regular armor that's up there per season to make things special or some bullshit.

As someone who just completed DS I would argue it isn't exactly piss easy, but dumb moron pubbies are a large part of the difficulty. In short, yes to the above.

I got distracted by a fractal monster when you asked me but I think it's one of the Mask skins that's basically a scar/facepaint thing, from the gemstore. Check your wardrobe.

DS is well enough made to where people don't have to be perfect to complete it. as long as they can get their poo poo together they can win.

It's not even all that difficult mechanics wise...just scales stupidly high.

A lesson I thought ANet had learned from buttbot was that an event is no fun if everyone loses when one lane fails. They fixed it when they repurposed that mechanic for Vinewrath but appear to have forgotten again between doing Silverwastes and making HoT (a surprisingly common trend with this expansion).

Same with sfd, way more people came back when it was announced. When it was released not as many, probably cause of its reception.
