I feel like any time I have found an armor set I actually like the look of, I quickly realize I am the wrong profession or the wrong race for the look I want. I approve of Anet adding all these armor skins to the gem store yet I'm not sure how I feel about any of them on my own characters so far... Starting to regret not having my guardian be a male human.

In order to avoid terrible runs where we wipe every 2 minutes, I actively avoid people that have 8-9k achievement points or more. Why? Because they never loving listen. Something goes wrong? Other people are to blame and they immediately ditch the party. This weekend I was helping a guildy get her CM armor and we got 3 people with around 1k achievement points, that were between levels 50 to 70, for path 2.

The run went smooth and without a hitch, because they listened and did what I told them to do. I can't count the times people kept banging their heads against the door where you need to plant the kegs, because they prefer to wipe for half an hour than spend 2 minutes explaining and agreeing on how we're going to do it and/or what needs to happen.

And the thing is, I've been doing a lot of pugs these past few months and it's a noticeable pattern that keeps repeating itself.

I imagine they go looking for achievements up their own asses and get trapped up there then they refuse to listen because achievements = complete mastery of the game so if something goes wrong it must be others!

Somehow I never feel like they actually take any ranger re-balances seriously. I've long been of the opinion that ranger is fine for PvE and not so much for dungeon but it feels like as long as they're good in one area, it's all good for Anet. Also did I misread that or did ANet say they wanna bring damage down on warriors by nerfing hammers that a lot of warriors don't even use and buffing everything else?

"After December 10, there will be just four releases left in the current major world story arc, which we like to think of as season one of the Living World. There are some major unanswered questions that remain: What is Scarlet trying to do? What is the motivation behind her actions? What are the “do not touch” devices? What will Scarlet do with the knowledge she has gained from her various collaborations? The answers to all of these questions, and one epic finale that will rock Tyria to its very core, await you in 2014."

"Due to the size and scope of the final four story releases in season one, the next round of major features will be bundled together into a large “feature only” release that will come after the first season of the Living World 2014 has finished."



So there's only four more of SCARLET SCARLET SCARLET living story updates but they're not coming until AFTER the "first season" of living world 2014? Did I read that correctly? Basically they're confirming it will finally end but you've still gotta put up with Scarlet for 4 more releases but they're delaying the releases because gently caress you deal with it you aren't getting rid of her that soon.

Thanks. I joined SFD two days ago. tbh guy I know's been telling me Thief is useless, so I am a bit worried if I wasted my time.

Never listen to anyone who tells you any class is useless because it's almost always based on their personal hatred of said class for being bad at a specific build/particular area of the game and in no way really reflects how useful they are overall.

It had something of one. Bows would do more damage from higher ground if I recall.

I believe it was set up where projectiles from bows (maybe other things?) scaled up in damage based on distance so having higher ground would help this.

CM's actually my favorite dungeon in the game by far. That said, the difference between a nightmare run from hell and a ten minute pleasure cruise is having a decent thief.

In other news I am currently working on building a PC which hopefully will be done by mid to late January so no worries, the terrible puns will return to [Goon] in the future. I can bearly contain my excitement to get out of this hairy situation!

I'm half expecting the titbot to be a really annoying and terrible fight just so arenanet can go "welp see this is why we had you spam a single button to fight Zhaitan, large fights simply do not work well!"

Also gently caress off with making bloodtide coast sucky with that wurm; I happen to like bloodtide coast don't ruin it arg. Are all the speculators gonna be right about Scarlet just being controlled by jungle dragon now? grooooaaaannnnnnnnnnn. I'm not sure if it's worse to have that or worse for her to just continue being an insane Mary Sue.
