When I started using the LFG tool more frequently I noticed I was having more fun because I had way more options available to me.

Yeah one of the things that made HoT significantly more fun was them revamping the LFG tool. It's not a buggy pile of crap anymore and supports squads, which makes taxiing people into maps much less tedious

4th anniversary stream is going on now, but intro video didn't have a single Tivac in it boooo

My launch night memories include running to my desk to watch commerce light itself ON FIRE and then spending two weeks working like a crazy person helping to fix it.

I was in a serious rush to log on so I could get the name Thyme for my sylvari Mesmer. Turns out I was right to be in a rush, because now every time I come back from a long break, the same person whispers me and asks if I'm playing for real and if not if they can have that name.

you did the right thing

i had work that day and could not get the name Bogan Thackeray, or King

still got Agamemnorn 3 days later though, since apparently nobody was smart enough to make that pun

What up Guild Goons. I thought I'd poke my head back in today, but it looks like actually I'll have to let the game patch while I go out instead :v:

I don't know if my guild membership in GOON is even still active, but that's okay. I just kinda wanted to check the state of the game.

I'm sometimes surprised at which names still aren't taken. I was messing around with a Char in the character creator and while Genghis Khat WAS taken, Kublai Khat was free.

I also like the position on the exit for Noble's Folly, too, if you time it right you can drop right down into that wyvern fight.

Wouldn't mind that airship but there's no point in having more than one. I'm just such a jumping off of things enthusiast.

If you search your mails for "gem purchase", you can add it all up and find out. I did the other day, and part of me sure wishes I had that �1910 (not including the original game) right now. :suicide:

Is there still an active goon guild on Maguuma? I'm coming back to the game from FF14 and the Quagoons are completely dead.

Quagoons weren't just him, they were a combination of his group, the Rift players who were coming over, and then random goons who couldn't get in the main guilds as they filled up.

Would you more experienced folks say that this guide is a decent overview for Druid gear?

http://gw2guides.toadheart.com/

Gearing up a ranger/druid for fracs->raids is less straightforward than my Herald for sure. It looks like the consensus is that Power/Zerker gear lags behind Condi/Viper in damage for longer fights, so I'm planning on running Power until I can accumulate Condi gear.

But where I get confused is in regards to a Healing gear set. Half the comments I've come across say stuff like healing gear is unnecessary if your group isn't terrible, and others say to get as much healing as possible. What do you guys say?

I've read through that guide, it's way too complex for it's own good. Just focus on the three main builds (Zerk, Viper, Magi).

If your goal is to just get the content done as reliably as possible, you can do every single encounter in the Magi healing gear and build.

If your goal is to be as valuable to your static group as possible and to help push times and allow flexible strategies, also bring the Zerk and Viper builds and gear.

Thanks, that definitely gives me a good sense of what direction to take: making gold and leveling crafting so I can have all 3 :qq:

On the upside, having 3 different sets of gear means 3 completely different outfits :j:

Both are true. Consider who you'll be playing with (I mean, if goons are.your best case scenario, you really should expect something terrible), and then the size of that if.
