The story follows Logan, a Krytan martial artist serving in the military, who decides to leave the Queen's Guard to compete in a martial arts tournament in Cantha where fights to the death can occur.

I may not be up to running the HP train tonight, gooms. :( I had terrible insomnia last night, and I've almost dozed off a few times at work already. If you don't see me on for Teq, that'll be your answer.

For anyone interested, I've been slowly working on a jump puzzle in the SFD guild hall in parts and I've just finished part 3 with part 4 to arrive soon-ish. Starts below the bridge next to the scribing building. Hope you nerds enjoy it a bit.

Also the Revive Orb is getting retooled with this patch.

quote:

*Revive Sickness has been updated to be more in line with other forms of revival. The orb will return you to 50% of your health pool instead of previous 1 health point. You no longer are crippled but are locked in combat state for 60 seconds and cannot use another orb while under Revive Sickness.

*When defeated, if you have an orb in inventory, you will receive a UI option to ‘Consume a Revive Orb’ alongside the usual “Return to Waypoint” option.

*We’ve replaced the Ghostly Caretaker with an orb vortex that circles above your body and fills in for the 10 seconds it takes for the revival to complete.

With the launch of Heart of Thorns, we got:

quote:

To sync armor crafting with weapon crafting, and to help maintain the value of leather, masterwork, rare, and exotic inscriptions will now be crafted with patches made from leather and cloth.

Some minor tweaks have been made to salvage tables to normalize output across all levels, and a small reduction has been made on tier 5 metal, leather, and wood, as well as a reduction on tier 6 leather and cloth.

Refining hardened leather now requires 3 hardened leather sections instead of 2.

And, well, unspecific balance changes in action:

It's great I just came back and sold a heap of stacks I'd bought before HOT for like 1k gold

Haha just from this I decided to sell the one stack I had in my bank guild and used some of it to forge some cheap exos trying for a pre, and got Howl on the eighth forge*

Invest your mats in exo forging today! What could go wrong?

It is actually extremely cool and smart to spend more gold than a pre is worth to buy and the rest of what you made selling the last legendary trying to kickstart the next one

Do it the poor man's way and just roll a spirit weapon guardian. Pretend your hammer is super special because it just floats around hitting things.

So I've been bouncing around a bit with this idea to try to set up an event/events for WvW for either/both guilds where we all use the same gimmick, ala the classic MM necro/reaper zerg.

So yesterday in a fit of 'eh I need more greatsword skins unlocked', I flushed the four cheapest greatswords I didn't have unlocks for down the toilet and Dawn came back up.

In conclusion precursor gambling is good and effective and you should spend all your money doing that because it is a smart idea for cool people and nothing will go wrong if you do that.

The gimmick should be everyone wears full "Mighty" gear. That way everyone can have matching gear without spending too much.
