NCSoft got DDoS’d last night, and it looks like they were still having some problems off and on this morning.

Wildstar server status page is a good indicator for GW2, too.

I suspected something like that, but wasn’t sure. Thanks for the information.

If anet is anything like my company it’s more literally 3 months of meetings and 5 failed programming tries.

Make me think, some dude commented on the fact that arenanet only has 300+ employees, he said out of those probably only 100-125 or so of them work on the game, the rest are pr, marketing, community manager, etc. Made me realize, we live in a time where image of the games is more important that the quality of the game itself

That’s true. Any tech company is so run by who funds them it’s hard to just roll with talent and good ideas.

I’m currently laughing very hard and shaking my head at the same time. A friend wanted to duo CM/teach me how to solo p3, so we did p1 and p3.
Then we did an experiment wether we could speed it up with a different class composition.
After that my friend wanted to sell. I had no problem with that so he posted a lfg entry.
Result: We got two of those people who apparently belief dungeon selling is evil. I see the kick window at my friends character and half a second later the Queensdale loading screen.
The very first time I’m involved into selling and this happens. Must be a sign.
To add insult to injury, I read almost everyday about fillers and this particular problem here on the forum, but I forgot to remind my friend about it.

It’s because it’s fractal scale 1.

It changes when it gets higher. Probably at 10, been a while so not sure.

Exactly! For level 1-9, it’s this way to go to the first seal.

I think the other end of her is more shapely, but the show is just shot beautifully in general; I am a sucker for historical themed shows. Also summer is the season of kilts here, so many guys wear them, unironically, probably the whole New Scotland thing.

On another note are the quality of the forums deteriorating in general? We used to play spot the stupid post, but now it’s more spot the coherent post.

Guys, I’ve been practicing the dungeon paths I don’t know and I realised how much I suck. I died at Aldus, I died at Ginva, I died everywhere and I didn’t even attempt aetherpath (done once). I’m so amazed at my badness I’m almost in tears.
What shall I do other than get gud?

Sucking at paths you don’t know (well) is pretty normal because you need to get used to the bosses first. So basically your only option is to get gud by doing the paths more often.

That sounds like me, though instead of forgetting to do things I hit the wrong keys even more often than usually (kitten you, crappy motor skills). Just keep practicing, it’ll get better. Also, be glad you never panic like the attached kitty.

Guys, I’ve been practicing the dungeon paths I don’t know and I realised how much I suck.

Do you honestly think anybody else feels different when they do paths they don’t know (well)? How do you think I felt going through Arah with you a couple of days ago? Even in fractals I had a lot of “oh no, why did I do that” moments, and I felt a lot more comfortable in there than in Arah.

There’s really no way around doing the paths again and again and again, and even then there’ll be days when things just don’t work out, you hit the wrong keys at the wrong moment or whatever. Dump a totally useless feedback into the ground in the middle of an Arah skip because I messed up my utilities … placed the portal right below the flaming balls in CoF p1 instead of behind them … it happens. Do I feel lousy when it happens? Of course I do, but there’s no way around it other than trying again and again until it works (most of the time ).

I’m confused. I actually sort of “ragequit” a group yesterday.

Friend of mine and I decided to get AC story for some alts. We flag us simply as “story” and get 2 level 80 (one me, my necro never ventured much into dungeons before) and a few lowlevel ranging from 30 to 33.
Looks good enough.
Then someone initiates a kick for one of the lowlevels. And apparently the second pug agreed.
After a chat inquiry what the hell that was about gave no immedeate answer, my friend just reups the old lfg.
The same player joins us. 10 seconds later, our 2 “friends” kick him again.

Then the other level 80 pipes up in chat “we need better team”. “wee need one god player”. Yes he wrote “god”, but I presumed that was a typo.
Anyway at that point my friend and I left. It was a frickin’ storymode. AC no less. What in all that is unholy do you need a “better team” for in that case?
Not even counting that he apparently dismissed my level 80 as “not good” for whatever reason, possibly being a necro. That I could have taken that as a personal insult just came to me later.

Anyway we posted a new lfg. got the twice kicked player again and two others and proceeded to do the instance without a hitch.

If you happen to stumble across any typos,
you may keep them to rear new and interesting variants in your basement.

Yes, Kate Welch is leaving as well (it’s on reddit).

Kate leaving probably for career opportunities. Martin just sounds like he had a falling out where the upper management didn’t listen to his advice and he didn’t like that (previous tweets). Either he quit or got term’ed, but oh well none of our business.
