400-250 points up with goons, I go to help out on home and my connection dies, I check and it's just GW2, only it takes forever to get the security log in text code to arrive

This probably won't be a factor for goons unless only a small number of us try it, but I did a rush with a mate's guild (9 people running) and it was the first time they'd done the quaggan one, so we only managed to get three through - however, they've changed it so that you don't get individual rewards unless you get 15 through, so it just fails and you get nothing. It's a little bit of a dick move.

When we did it last night it "completed" but no one got any rewards so it seems to be broken atm anyhow.

We did puzzle twice cause 4/9 people got rewards the first time, and four more the next, and the ninth guy would rather leave it than make us do Langmar three times in a row.

There are times I think that having a list of all the bugs they know about and are working on visible on the forum or somewhere, just a note saying "We know this bug exists, we're working on it, we can't give an ETA yet cause we want to make sure the fix won't break something else but we want you to know we're going to get it sorted as soon as possible" but I know that there is no amount of disclaimers that the entitled won't ignore to whine about

Also the PR aspect, now I think about it

Edit: I kinda want to take my second ranger and rename his pets a very slight misspelling of the default names just to gently caress with people. Or swap it with a default name of the same type but different species and see if anyone catches it.

My asura ranger has had a devourer pet called Juvenile Brown Bear since 2012, you occasionally get pubbies stopping midrun to turn and look a second time

Oh man, I got the Flameseeker Prophecies pre collection and the very first step for making the Chosen is to make a book called an Anthology of Villains, and take it with you to kill a bunch of bosses.

Except that it needs Weaponsmithing 350 to make, oh, and also Scribing 300. Which you require to make the 13 sheets of quality paper needed. Which so far don't even have an entry on the wiki beyond 'made by scribes somehow'. And are currently bugged to be accountbound, and a fix is still in progress. Basically I hope you didn't want to make a shield legendary!

Lean mastery gives you a greater endurance pool for gliding, and leaning forward reduces the rate you drop during forward motion, at the cost of more endurance lost. So basically you can either glide for longer, or glide shallowerer. That is a word now.

That bank tab is generally ascended rings, which don't drop the salvaged items needed. Now, if it was stuff gained from salvaged fractal speargun skins, then you'd be onto something.

I actually liked thinking about the mastery stuff in terms of levels, like how the level 1 ranks are two lots of the exp needed to level at 80 in the old system. How much attention did you pay to levelling up at 80 beforehand? That thing that happened 2/3rds of the time you did a dungeon, or at a Teq? Now instead of ten meaningless things for every 2.5 mil of exp you never bothered counting before, now you can do exactly the same stuff as before only now you get to fly a glider forever, which is nice.

Rytlock got Herald in the mists, so logically he must have been running a lot of eotm trains for all those hero points

So, after busting out both blue and yellow EXP boosters, a celebration booster, 15% exp Halloween food, the cheapest utility buff for 10%, and the guild exp booster when it was 6%, I did a full Dragon's Stand meta chain while failing one event and not tagging a second, and got 45% of gliding 5 in about 75 minutes. That was definitely more than a little bit over a million exp. It'll probably work out to be about a third of leyline gliding each time, so if you can spare 90 minutes you should be able to be some real progress with the higher end ones.

I want to make my berserker condition/burning focused. There were a couple of builds posted earlier in the thread but I can't find them again.

Going for sword/torch and longbow for weapons I think. Does anyone mind posting the builds again? Thanks.

I don't remember what the pro traits are, but it's something like arms/discipline/berserker for stuff on crit and better burst skills/recharge

Also cool and of note, zerker sword burst doesn't root you like the regular one does, as well as being ranged and hella burny

It's Inquest (Crucible of Eternity dungeon) helm, Priory shoulders/gloves, Primeval (gem store/recent new account bonus set) chest/leggings, Vigil boots. The latter three pieces have a greater contrast than the former, so I have amenity and enameled sky respectively with pyre highlights cause I loving love gem store dyes goddamn


Also there is a very serious problem with that picture being of my charr guardian, and I'm going to actually ask you guys if you can guess! Closest to the right answer will win a prize!

Yes! Charr who use staves and aren't rev/daredevils hold them in one hand horizontally, and I'm pretty sure I have a screenshot of my guard in that armour holding a staff in their usual pose somewhere back in the thread. PM me ingame for your prize!

I would also have accepted 'tried to pick a hairstyle for my charr rev and couldn't bring myself to not take the goku hair, so decided to make it themed to be an Anti-Illu' but that was less likely to be guessed.

All the wailing and gnashing of teeth is getting completely overblown. It's not perfect, but it's hardly the poisonous sludge of despair and misery and betrayal you're all making it out to be. The game isn't that bad, guys! Take a break if you're feeling down, it's not a subscription one and the problems you feel are there will probably be patched out by the time you feel like trying it out again.

You can get the primal burst recharge to 3.5 seconds, which you will fill the bar on before that time runs out. The longbow burst is particularly nice for condition, especially in PVE, as 15k burn ticks are always pleasant to see pop out of a mob.

I mean, goku blew up a planet and didn't kill freeza. Trunks used a sword and did kill freeza.

actually the planet blew up at frieza and didn't kill him, goku didn't punch him to death because he is a good and kind person who was just going to let him die in pieces when the blast wave hit him except it wasn't as good as his fists

also trunks couldn't kill an android with his sword and then he did with his fists later, so there

there might be other anime sword people out there but man who even watched a non dbz anime
