It was a pretty big hit! We killed a boss! And learned a lot, and it was ridiculously laid back and casual. I think this is definitely going to be a regular thing, Thursday nights at 9pm Pacific. See you next week!

I looked up what the skins were and this popped up. I am not that far in to HoT, so this may make more sense to others:

"After you complete the final step of the quest line (i.e., acquiring the "Knight of the Thorn" title), the quest NPC will appear in your home instance. You can talk to her and "change Caladbolg's form" by exchanging the weapon you have and 1000 unbound magic."

Don't shoot him?

maybe that means you can complete the full collection with just 4000 unbound magic?

It seems like you trade in the current ascended weapon (plus the 1000 unbound magic) for another, which would unlock the skin for future use. You then have whatever physical weapon you traded for.

Killer Instinct is my favorite story mission in this game because i initially interpreted 'kiddie playground' as 'kitty playground', and when he says 'whoever trained' it sounds like 'flavor train'.

Also yes that's the easy way to do the collection, just keep trading unbound magic + the weapon to get all the skin unlocks.

There is no reason to transfer over unless you want to do WvWvW with Goons. T2 is pretty much better if you want to have fun in wubwub.

Meatoberfest is in full swing.
WvW matchup tiers. It's not really shown anywhere in game.

https://leaderboards.guildwars2.com/en/na/wvw

Maguuma is T1, the highest population/"skill" group, so there's often queues, and fighting the entire map population limit of the other servers in one big blob, and then they complain on forums about tower humping when you don't run into a 1:2 outnumbered fight.

My many CoX, always poised, always ready, always willing to thrust.

My entire experience since returning and playing WvW on Maguuma is:

1. We run around and cap towers without fighting and make laps around the map just doing this.

2. Our big ball stares down the other big ball. Sometimes their balls are bigger than our balls. Sometimes our balls touch. But only for brief, fleeting moments, and nothing is accomplished.

It just doesn't feel like a lot actually happens. How does WvW play out in t2 or under?

I haven't played this game in several years so I'm pretty confused and have a few questions if any goon would be kind enough to answer. I have a level 80 engineer and a level 40-something mesmer. Are those any good? What's this about chronomancers and scrappers? Do I need to buy the expansion? What's the deal with Lion's Arch not looking as cool as it used to? Finally, the skill system seems completely different and I have some amount of hero points and some that seem to be spent in stuff I don't really remember ever using... should I just go ahead and spend the points I have unlocking everything at random, or should I be saving them for something?

Also, can an idiot terrible player still follow around a zerg in WvW and have some fun tossing grenades, or has the game grown beyond that?

That sums up WvW for dragonbrand during peak hours. Other than that its all about one time zone ruling at a time and solo'ers running around in circles taking camps from each other.

Every class is basically fine, use one that suits your style. That said, Mesmers are more generally useful in PvE.

drat Dirty Ape posted:

Yes; HoT introduced "Elite" trait lines that give classes access to new weapons, utility skills, and traits (obviously). You can only start acquiring this trait line if you're 80 and have your other traits unlocked. Chronomancer = Mesmer Elite, Scrapper = Engineer.

drat Dirty Ape posted:

Plot happened. Lion's Arch got attacked/destroyed/rebuilt as part of the ~Living Story~.

The skill/trait unlock system has undergone a few changes over the years. Just unlock everything, you'll need to eventually anyway and as part of leveling up you get enough Hero Points to fully unlock all your regular (not-Elite) trait lines; the ones you find around the world are useful for unlocking things sooner and/or applying to the Elite spec. There's no other use for Hero Points so you can't 'waste' them.
