Yeah I'm having fun levelling, the game is still gorgeous and the sound/music is great. After reading up on anet and gw2 though I can see why people are upset about it, especially HoT. The recent decision to cancel legendary weapons must still sting a bit =/

A Leeroy Jenkins joke in 2016. That's that patented anet humor we all know and love.

FWIW, Kilroy Stonekin was a character from GW1 that was added when the joke was still fresh.

I don't want to hurt the feelings of whatever anet employee it is that posts in this thread that took credit for that patch note. I get it, humor is subjective and I'm a big stupid sourpuss. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who enjoyed the joke. But even if it's a one off parody of a really old joke it is pretty much the equivalent of if they made a Chuck Norris joke but used the name Rytlock Brimstone instead. It is beyond dated.

It's not like "things wrong with the game right now" is a very small target to hit

I am happy for lonk, though, because it means at least one goon is finally getting fun out of this game again

Keeping minions alive depends a great deal on the fight and your group setup. In some fights like Gorseval I find that it's pretty hard to keep up a high number of bleeds, at least unless the group has more healing than usual, whereas in a fight like Sabetha it's almost hard to get them killed. For Sloth and Matthias you'll lose all your minions if you transform/get sacrificed, but the DPS loss from that is generally balanced out with the great utility you can bring. But yeah, if you don't have enough healing to keep the minions alive for certain fights you'll never see the 15k bleed ticks, but if you're bouncing epidemics with another necro the DPS contribution is still pretty good.

It's a pre-existing gw1 reference. Shut up and get over it. As someone who played gw1, Kilroy owns.

Kilroy had some fun missions where you'd go just punching the poo poo outta all the baddies. It was great.

yeah, those missions were actually fun. you both got really hammered and tag-teamed a bunch of enemies by using drunken brawling and the guy is basically a walking leeroy jenkin's reference because he would legit run off into near everything with reckless abandon.

Friendly reminder that this is (was) the week to cash in on your Pact Scout's Mapping Materials.

Or start collecting them if you haven't. Prices for the rewards, much like the posters in this thread, are depressed at the moment but they'll likely bounce back over the next few weeks as, much unlike they posters in this thread, they're generally rare/desirable.

Edit: And farming Frostgorge events/champs as well.

Cute. I am serious though, all you are doing is saying it's great but not giving any reason as to why. Insulting my intelligence and technical knowledge is in no way going to make me change my mind.

Listen, even if it's the best gw1 reference in the world, you are doing very poorly in communicating it.

I didn't say it was good you nerd. You're just getting your panties in a twist over nothing. All I'm saying is that it is still a guild wars reference, even though it's from a lovely old meme.

I mean yeah, I thought the kilroy joke was stupid too. I just groaned and moved on, not give a detailed description of how that old meme tainted the taste of your wine. gently caress man, next thing you'll do is start preaching about that carnegie dope. No one cares.
