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.

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FR9N3WF

Just gauging any interest in it for now before any actual effort goes into it.

I am entirely in favor of this as a regular thing. I propose at least one of these events be entirely Power Build Rangers with a suitable rainbow of mono-colored outfits.

Someone walks onto a point and becomes instantly gibbed by about 5 traps going off at once?

I thought that was when you eat until you're tired, then sleep until you're hungry, all the while relieving yourself in adult diapers in the unlit basement you call home.

That looks awesome. Seeing the routes for the badges and such on various maps makes me really interested in this tool. I want to finish up the golden badges for the MP, and this will save me a little time during the lookup.

Is this tool something that can get players banned? It doesn't automate anything so it seems like this wouldn't be problematic from their end

It only uses info from the API and doesn't alter game files, so should be fine. People have been using an earlier version of this for a while.

Looks like, I was excited until I clicked the video and saw it's nothing that I personally wouldn't rather having on my second monitor.

If you only have one monitor it's probably pretty handy though.

Having the map overlay is much better for world completion than a 2nd monitor.

If I were a betting man I'd say they'll be available eventually for laurels like other previously limited edition items from past living story times.

Results of the WvW gimmick event poll are heavily in favor of doing multiple events, with "gently caress Arus" coming in at a respectable 2nd place.

We should def do this but I also realized I suck at organizing things and would not know where to even begin to do so tbh. Someone do the responsibility thing for me tia.
