Ride the frog, baby!
I've been burnt out on guild wars 2 for a couple of months.
Did anyone organise regular dragons stand runs? I never managed to get on a winning map for that event.

if you just keep an eye on lfg about 10 minutes or so before the map reset time, you should trivially be able to get into an active, successful map

It's also pretty easy to put one together yourself. Literally just type "LETS MAKE A META MAP" in map chat and start taxiing people in. It has yet to fail me

Fear my reaper.

6th character to 80, and it gets easier every time. Nearing level 80, few events and finding random waypoints make a whole level.

So far it's tons of fun just going around reaping everything to pieces.

I've only had 1 map fail in the 10 or so that I did. Of course one time I DC'd after a success, which caused me to rage since you can't get back. And the one that failed did so because a new build was announced halfway through and a bunch of people left or couldn't get back in. The end part seems impossible to fail, while the leadup events give a ton of time. As long as the three tags are communicating then you should be fine. But if you don't have a tag in each lane or they aren't organizing for one, get out.

the only difficult part is getting all three lanes to correctly break down their gate at their tower, and is probably the only real timewaster. the actual fight itself goes well no matter what.

Yeah people have things figured out to the point that they generally get to the trio of bosses with well over an hour left on the clock, so you can wipe and reset the bosses repeatedly and still be fine

Just be prepared for some pretty bad customer service and for it to possibly take a few hours to a couple days to get your code.

I should really just
learn to stop talking.
Before the expaantion, necros would typically be condi tanks. Plenty of cc, dont use buffs, have vondi clears and you're good. Back then necros had poo poo all for stunbreaks, though they could easily turn your cc back in you as well.

Now that everything is a reaper I dunno.

If they're in reaper shroud then dump conditions on them and kite because they have no condition removal (they probably do have duration reduction on slowing effects though). If they're not in reaper shroud then CC them because they have no stab. They have no way to avoid your attacks either way other than dodging and their endurance regen sucks. Also bring good condition removal to get rid of the chill..

If they're not a reaper for whatever reason then get up in their grill because life blast fails to cast like 90% of the time if you're circling around them and they have no way to disengage. Also if you have a projectile reflect then just use that and laugh.

I've been noticing a trend.

It's a dumb trend, and a total waste of a total makeover kit each.

It's a dumb trend to match not only a dumb face,

But also a dissimilar, clashing hairstyle together.

It looks completely stupid and I hate it.

I don't even care about the rest of their outfit or dye choices.

The whole thing is instantly ruined by their terrible facial and sartorial choices AND THIS BUGS ME A LOT



(this may or may not have the hair but it still has the dumb face)
