I tried to name my Sylvari "Gary Oak" on launch night, but someone had already grabbed it within the first 15-20 seconds ;(

I bet someone had a GW1 character with that name, so had reserved it already.

Also, it's not a bomb, but it opens a new collection that lets you build your own bomb.

Well, a collection that lets you unlock a recipe that will let you build the precursor to the precursor to the precursor for your bomb. It also costs more than the equivalent of buying an Abrams tank outright.

I miss my cat someone buy me a kitten.

Is there a point to Toypocoypse beyond "smash everything you see and build as much stuff as you can"? Because that's all I do. It's like tower defense for noobs. I'm worried though, given the teams are so small, that my tendency to arrange a million ballistas in pretty patterns all over the map is detrimental somehow.

Although the bell choir thing seems to give the most presents. And holy poo poo how are they still selling for 10 silver I am making mad money here. That can't last can it? Once everyone has drunk or ate their 10k of whatever the price is gonna tank isn't it? - or is there something in those boxes worth opening them all for. I opened a stack for laughs and got a skrit holding a box mini. Are there skins n stuff too?

All the NPCs will look up and shout, "Do this quest!"
and I'll whisper, "Sure, why not."

"Go on until you're stopped."
Finished the HoT storyline. Oh my god, what a miserable boss fight. That was the worst slog I ever bothered to finish.

Anyway, the storyline was improved over what came before in that certain moments were occasionally interesting, but none of those moments ever got built on because the story was so short that nobody had focus for longer than a single mission. Mordremoth in particular was amazingly generic and everything he said could have been replaced with a <generic evil taunting TBI>.

Not looking forward to more grinding meta-events forever, and the game seems to have moved away from everything that was innovative and fun about itself, so, I guess I'm done. Call me if it ever gets good again!

Oh god no, I spent freaking hours last night setting my options up to get my fps above 20 and I'm too noob to remember exactly what I did :sadfruckingface:

oddly though, even with a lot of stuff set to low it still looks better than wow so I'm calling it a win.

i dont understand pubbies and their inability to count enemies in pvp, realize that 1 is less than 4, and turn around instead of suiciding into the enemy team over and over

like just go to another point, there's 4 on that point so we can easily take the other two

Hrm. Decisions decisions. Unfortunately I only have one character that can make ascended crap and they're the one I play the most, so parking them there is less than ideal.

On the other hand, passes go on sale like once a year and I have nothing better to burn gems on, and I'll definitely want one eventually to park someone there for easy everything access and easy ascended crafting. Sold!

Pretty sure it's just the General Options page and bag settings that gets reset. My graphic options haven't changed at all.

Also, there is a workaround to keep your settings from getting reset every time. I've used it half a dozen times now without losing my settings.
  1. Click the the gear/hit ESC
  2. Click Log Out
  3. Click Character Select
  4. Click the the gear/hit ESC
  5. Click Log Out
  6. Click Log Out again
  7. Click X to close the patcher

You can also just Log Out -> Log Out -> X the launcher.

Yeah, going to character select doesn't seem to make the process any more robust. It's just logging out to the launcher and then exiting that that seems to make settings get saved.
