I noticed season 3 is starting in a few days. Is there anything I need to hurry and play before then, or does it not matter? I noticed that there is something in the shop called season 2 that is for sale, what does that entail?

Season 2 was basically the lead up to the HOT story...unless you're absolutely in love with the story, I'd just watch a youtube vid.

scarlet's invasion of LA was probably the best of both worlds, if not a bit grindy, but it was fairly fun the first few times around.

the funny thing is the LS2 eps could probably turned into mini dungeons, as they have some neat boss encounters

but I see what they're doing with the story, they want people to be able to experience it in solo que- oh wait raids have story now lol

There really isn't a compelling reason to not run as much damage as possible in PvE because the bulk of your mitigation should come from evades & weapon/utility skills. The really dangerous stuff will just kill you anyway.

this is absolutely true outside of raids, argument could be made for high level fractals with the heal/support spec, but you could get away (do amazingly well) with full zerker

I know this isn't going to be popular, but the new zone is cool and I had fun playing a video game.

yeah its fun, but the mobs sniping you from 10000 miles away gets pretty old

What's the easiest and fastest way to gain XP? I need to train all of these foreign languages to access the mistward insignias, and I want them right now =[


Also, related to that: Last night my wife and I were in Itzel territory running around their canopy village. My game was playing over my speakers, hers through headphones. I don't have the Itzel language yet, but she does. For me, they're all babbling and making noises that just sound like baby nonsense. For her, they're actually saying stuff to each other in English. I know that's kind of expected given the language is unlockable and all, but that's pretty cool.

Do the meta events if you're taking about the heart of maguuma masteries. If you can get to dragon stand, pop an xp booster and have at it. DS is good for xp and carpal tunnel.

oh god what did they add

you basically just sit and wait for a boss to spawn, but it's not on an exact timer and there's a good chance the drat thing bugs out and never spawns at all, so you just sat there for quite some time for absolutely nothing

Having to wait for a mob for 1-2 hours does put it out of reach for people like me, as much as the socksshitters like to gloat


Yup! We have a ton of Eu and oceanic players who I've never heard complain about lag either.

Also waci is hilarious

dude it's not even just you, the mobs spawn in very specific places and they don't stay alive for that long, so you are parked there twiddling your thumbs

im a sucker for particle effects, so I want it

if you're bored it's worth it, not like you have to shell out some cash for it right now. however if you really liked pretty princess, then the game is still lacking

Hey so I just got Jeweler to 400 without really looking into it b/c those slots seemed harder to fill at lvl 80, but can you not actually craft Ascended tier with that skill where every other crafting skill can?

Oddly, but not surprising, you cannot craft ascended jewelery. It's been rumored and some material datamined that eventually you can, but nothing has come out yet. Ascended jewelery is the easiest to get however, so you don't worry about it that much.

I've been wanting to try out some condi build on my reaper since you guys have gushed about it so much. Usually I've just ran a GS well build. Is it gear-dependant for casual dungeons/fractals - as in, will they boo my rampager / berserker exotic gear off the stage or do you really need ascended viper?

You can roll with sinister is still do good and that's much easier to get than vipers. you could also roll with magi's because no one would be able to tell the difference

in retrospect the revenant wasn't exactly the best class ever and it really felt like they just wanted it to do things that were contrary to the average instead of actually making it all fit together well

haha i can't believe most of the LS missions are literally "do these hearts"

although if it nets us more new zones in a reasonable manner, i guess i can't bitch about it too much.

I don't even care, the latest living story update was fantastic (Ember Bay is amazing and for the first time in years I cared about the personal story steps) so please Anet feed us more of this

But to be fair, them straight up refusing to make new armors really kills the game for me.
