It may not be interracial, but it is black and white.
Started playing this game a couple weeks ago with some friends. Been mostly doing WvW and PvP with a bit of PvE to make money. So far I've got two level 80 combat ready chars and have gotten pretty good at PvP. Out of my last 10 games I've won 9 of them. Most games I'm getting between 15-25 kills. Right now we are running with a meditrapper dragon hunter (me), a scrapper engi and a support elementalist.

Since the PVP league is starting tomorrow I'm hoping to get together a full team for some matches. We are currently on Fergusen's Crossing if that matters. We are generally around during the evenings EST time.
Just hit me up in game on Delizin.1642 if you'd like to play together.

I'm also applying for the goon guild and will try to find some interested people there as well.

For sPvP you don't need to be on the same world to team up, that's only for WvW.

I dunno, probably run fractals and dungeons. I don't know them well enough to lead them though, and I hate pugs so I need goons to carry me guide me through them.

HoT had a bit of a mixed reception, but eventually there was a patch that fixed everyone's major beefs with it. Goon consensus is "it good" I think.

You don't have to switch server to play with people except for wvw or if you're currently on a European server. There are things called megaservers now which smoosh you all together in one map.

The new map is very obviously designed to let people who were behind on their masteries catch up with the rest of the population. That's a great thing.

Speaking of catching up: is ascended armor ever worth it? I've got a couple of ascended weapons, a full set of ascended rings/trinkets/amulet, and I'm close to an ascended backpack. I've read a few times that ascended armor makes the least difference of any slot (or, at least, about the same amount of difference as accessories/backpiece but much more expensive). Is it worth getting for any reason other than someone just wanting another thing to build up to?

Its not worth it for stats but it allows you to get enough agony resistance to do the high-leel fractals.

STRUCTURED PLAYER VS. PLAYER

PvP League Season 4 begins on August 9 at 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7) and ends on October 3 at 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7).
Ranked PvP matchmaking has been updated to create the most even matches possible within your pip range.

Alpine

Beta
Siege Repair Hammers are now in beta!
Siege Repair Hammers are a new consumable that may be purchased from the Tricks and Traps vendor. They allow players to repair all siege weapons as long as they have supply, and the hammers work with the Repair Master ability line.
We will be looking for feedback on the repair hammers on our forums and will be holding a follow-up poll to determine if they should become a permanent feature of the game.
In the event that repair hammers are officially added, the following changes would be made:

A new pip would be added to the Repair Master ability line that would allow players to purchase repair hammers.
Badges of honor would be added to the cost of the repair hammer.


BLACK LION TRADING COMPANY GEM STORE
New Items and Promotions

A new Bloodstone Dye Pack containing six exclusive colors is now available in the Special category of the Gem Store for 125 gems.

Is full ascended armor necessary for high-level agony resist, or does it just make it easier?
