Evidently the yellow party dots that show up occasionally (as opposed to the blue party dots) are intended to show where your guildmates are in the open world once they're fixed/fully implemented. I think this is really cool and look forward to seeing 150 little yellow Goon Squad dots running around whenever I open the world map

Oh lawdie. Well, the weekend after that then. But not Saturday since that's Halloween. Argh. This whole guild hall building/claiming thing confuses the hell out of me, I fully intend to just trail along behind Tricks and Schpyder looking bewildered.

Yeah it looks like it will be a really solid chunk of time before we start seeing players with BIRDSTAFF and the other, lesser legendaries. Which means more Mesmer time for me!

Tivac posted:Underwater combat was a cool idea that wasn't as cool in practice, so it's being de-emphasized. Honestly I haven't met a single player who truly unironically enjoys UW combat (inc half a dozen goons posting to disagree with me) so telling your teams "don't bother with a second set of UW legends" makes perfect sense People being upset about dungeons is understandable but being mad because there are no new UW legends seems like being contrary just to be contrary.Also how would you top sharkspear, seriously

They were probably turned off of the concept when the dungeon team revealed the overhauled AC and there was an incredible pissy uproar from their forums. iirc that's the reason AC gives better cash rewards than the other non-Arah dungeons, they were bribing players back into it.

quote:Staff – Nevermore. Someone in Arenanet loved the staff so much they set it as a test item and it showed up on some builds. The story behind is taking a spirit and Raven and melding them together. In the beginning you have to prove you a friend of nature and protect it around the world. In collection 3 you are chasing down this raven spirit around the world by creating spyclass that allow you to see the raven around the world. In collection 4 are taming your spirit, showing it your power and showing it how things from the mist can live in the corporal world. You are also getting a raven egg, bless it and treating it. Once the raven hatches you teach it how to fly and meld it with the spirit.  guys anet is literally making a quest about my life i'm so happy

Schpyder posted:Wait, does that mean it's going to take about 400 hero points to train an elite spec? Sure does quote:It’s 400 points total to unlock everything in an elite spec training line – I just can’t remember off hand how many points folks have currently if they have done all the existing ones, but it’s right around 200. The rest you’ll need to earn in jungle to unlock the deeper skills/traits/etc. in the training line. Hope you weren't planning on playing all your alts.

Zerk thief is tricky and a surprising amount of it depends on just knowing the fight and boss tells. Also, don't be afraid to hop out of melee and plink/throw daggers for a few seconds if you need your heal to come up or endurance to regen or whatever.

Adhesive Gamin posted:Swapping in Invigorating Precision over No Quarter is worth the damage loss on fights where you'd otherwise be getting downed repeatedly. Some bosses just have so much health that DPS racing them gets a little shaky if everyone isn't totally on point. Yeah that too, I tend to prefer IP to NQ. Party members have no problem putting permafury on me and aside from the naked survival boost, IP also maintains Keen Observer, Flawless Strikes, and the Scholar 6-piece bonus. Worth trading off the 250 Ferocity imo. LITERALLY A BIRD fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Oct 20, 2015 |

At risk of angering the anti-meta contingent it really is just that one build for pve (until Friday, anyway). However there are hundreds of tiny tweaks you can make to that build so that it works for you, whether it be trait choices, utility skills, weapon swaps, etc. The DnT/metabattle builds are crafted to work under ideal circumstances, whatever those might be, so they're flexible. There's no harm at all in trying different things -- it's good, actually, not only because it will increase your skill and experience with that class, but you can also get an idea of why the meta is that way instead of just blindly accepting or rejecting it.

Your Computer posted:I have a couple of questions; is the personal story in any way continued in HoT? I've completed it on my main but I dread doing it on my alts.. which brings me to my second question. I created a thief in anticipation of the Daredevil specialization but I'm struggling to do stuff solo, as I feel about as sturdy as wet paper. What's a good compromise between survivability and damage? I never really got into the itemization in this game so I just went with the usual advice of "everything Berserker every time", but as soon as I encounter more than 2 mobs at a time I'm struggling to stay alive (which makes the personal story even more fun). I would try experimenting, but I don't really have the funds somebody asked about thieves the other day so here is a link to the relevant posts http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3745583&pagenumber=29&perpage=40#post451693703 and like nilgoow said s/p is a solid choice for survivability while you learn the class. pistolwhippistolwhippistolwhip

^^ signet of agility, not infiltrator's, but infiltrator's is a fantastic gapcloser if you find yourself missing shadow shot too much. ^^ hahaha don't get me wrong I am not a fan of s/p outside of soloing painful mob groups, but there are a lot of goons who do like it. if you haven't tried dagger/dagger that one's a lot of fun, since you're constantly on the move to stay flanking and out of harm's way. thief staff has been my dream for literally years (it's in my post history! ) but I was kind of disappointed with daredevil. hopefully that changes, I'd like to run around doing sick ninja flips with my raven staff buddy
