Game desperately needs a content infusion that isn't garbage rear end living story or raid garbage, not even SAB can bring me back since its the same poo poo again.

Surely they can spare some of the folks from the raid team to craft a world 3 or some poo poo? Pretty please? Throw us a bone here Anet.

Have rpers figured out clipping through terrain or something to gently caress with people? Because every time I've seen that in chat I go looking for the perpetrator so I can custom emote a 10 second long fart but they are long gone.

In one case a few years back, I found a group of them hiding inside a house in the grove that I couldn't reach, doing massive text dumps on each others' chests.

Emotes broadcast to a freakishly huge area. For example, you can "hear" roleplayers emoting on the bottom floor of Rata Sum when you're on the middle floor.

that makes sense, i was recieving them while in the VIP area in divinities reach and that's not a big area to lose people in


side note I'm loving SFD so far but I still have no idea what's going on 90+% of the time in chat so i'm just completing personal story and stuff to catch up so i understand. Not trying to be antisocial or whatever, id like to try fractals (how do i start) and just finished gearing a thief in zerker exotics for entry level raiding with you all

Here's how you break into SFD guild chat:
  • Call all Australians criminals
  • Compliment Arus
  • "Need 4 more for The Ruined City of Arah"

Seriously though if you need a hand with anything, just say something! We've got Dentists who're always happy to help out.

It is your duty to track down any roleplayers and eat as much candy corn as you can possibly eat while standing on them. Shame them with projectile vomit.

If you're getting them in the VIP area of Divinity's Reach, you are most likely eavesdropping on RPers in the Ossan Quarter tavern to the north. That's a pretty frequently used area for RPers.

It can be fun to observe them in the wild. Don't scare them off, or we'll no longer have stuff like the asuran triplet abortion to talk about.

yeah i wouldnt stalk them its just funny to see people go into insane detail about how hard they're avoiding eye contact with each other even when they're playing fantasy characters.

They are lost in the theater of the mind...

Also, for the most part I feel a lot of them kind of like being seen. Otherwise they'd be in the humie homebase place.

There's an appeal to public roleplay as opposed to private and scripted, yes.

Starting from zero with guild boost and wvw reward booster (Experience) it would take ~6 hours at max participation.

For the laziest method just run around killing yaks until max then go afk for 15 minutes or so before killing another - the Desert BL works well as it's almost always abandoned and has plenty of places to sit out of the way.

Is it possible to reduce that further with the heroic booster and celebration booster? I need to grind a couple gifts out in the near future too.

Tapping repair on a wall once is enough to keep you active.

So is killing a guard on a tower or keep. Sentry kills don't count, only capping their spot, and I think camp guards might also count but I'm not sure. Basically if it gives wxp it should reset the timer. I'd also make sure you do something every 10 mins just to be safe.

On an unrelated note, I think I'm getting burnt out :gonk: logged in for about 5 mins yesterday, haven't felt like playing or doing the dailies and I haven't finished levelling the last two alts

ah well I'm on a weeklong holiday away from my PC on Saturday, I'll see how I feel when I'm back
