Also sorry to crash the party but I learned to expect the worst-case scenario when it comes to Anet endeavours: then the worst-case scenario was already expected and anything better than that is welcomed with a great surprise!

From the datamining post: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2sazzz/datamining_upcoming_features_from_point_of_no/

“There were a LOT (5000+) of new lines in this patch but 70% of them appear to be updated versions of: Living world 1.0”

Could it be that Heart of Thorns is just a bundle of the original game plus Livin World 1.0 and Living World 2.0?

That would be so bad…….

Could you please grab your screen, throw it out of the window, then grab your keyboard and gently bash yer bloody skull in for putting that horrible thought in my mind??!
I’M BELIEVIN’, I’M HYPIN’, ain’t NOBODY gonna stop the hype train— CHOO CHOOO
I’m jokin’, here’s a kitty for you to show my love
:3

I’m obviously gonna be disappointed and it IS going to be something ridiculously sad (a friend of mine on ts just suggested a phone application, lel!) such as a living story 3 – just paid, but I’ve always been a hopeful son of a kitten. Wouldn’t be here if I weren’t.

I do believe that we have a respectable chance of at least seeing a small DLC.

P.S. There was a discussion on ts about it and the general consensus is that, if anet dares to kitten this up and announce something appalling after renting the BIGGEST room in the kitten pax and hyping to hell and back, people at the event are gonna jump on the desk and hang Colin or whoever’s available by his buttcheeks.

Im hypin… I try not to… But heck, Im hypin.
Also final boss… I wanted an epic battle. Kitten guys, you spoiled me teaching me lupi.

We freakin’ need Giganticus Clowncaricus.

Thats the thing man, Anet isnt hyping all that much about it, atleast for now. Most of the hype has been through reddit who digged some buried stuff. If it were an expansion wouldn’t it be logical to have more hype about the pax announcement by Anet themselves?

spoiler alert maybe. but in the final cutscene of the new LS stuff they advertise themselves for pax. found it kind of funny.

Last boss in the episode was fun — I enjoyed the need for mobility and the mechanics. Good to see that they’re moving away from the DPS race bosses. As usual, it wasn’t terribly challenging, since it’s part of LS, but a fun fightencounter nevertheless.

I wouldn’t mind going at it again, but c’mon….sitting through an hour or more of clicking through story dialog just to enjoy a 10 minute encounter….I know that counts as “replayable content” to ArenaNet and AP slats, but meh. Not worth it.

As for the trailer….a lot of people are just hyping themselves. Nothing in that trailer supported the idea of an expansion, it just looked like LS3 to me. Possibly a new map, but all it showed was the next part of the story arc.

There is going to be so. much. rage. when PAX flops.

Wellcome to the internet dear.

:/ Both condescending and implicitly defending a total scumbag. Nice. As if the level of nastiness on this subforum wasn’t high enough today.

Well look, i have no idea who this iris person is nor do i care. My point is, taking it personal when somebody blabs something stupid on map chat with your name attached to it giving it more attention that it deserves… the best thing you can do is ignorre because it’s obvious he was going for a reaction, so best punishment for him/her is to be ignorred. Now this foul mouthed person gets a nice little attention time.

Besides, isn’t name shaming on forum not allowed? And reading all these people report him because of map chat screenshoot? Just lol.

#thiefmasterclass

I actually ended up throwing on my WvW gear and retraiting a bit since I kept getting clobbered while channeling to light the walls (plus DPS wasn’t really needed, so zerk was pointless). I liked having to actually think a bit about my build instead of just rushing in with one of the same 2-3 setups I use for the rest of PvE :P

I just reaaaaally wish some of the new LS encounters weren’t locked behind an hour of map jumping and dialog clicking.

My dream…

What can I say, I just changed FT and EG for elixir S and tool kit. Same meta build. On engi was a piece of cake.

And I really would like a fractal dedicated to each boss. Dungeon bosses and LS bosses. 1Vs1. It woudnt grant any exp point or loot…maybe some achivments. Great to learn the bosses and potentially epic: a lvl 50 lupi?

so i decided to youtube the ending of the solas romance in DA:I

That’s true. God I miss him..

You guys talking ‘bout ol’ Prophet Brown?

Prophet Brown is on a dating site. LMAO

ikr? His picture seems vaguely familiar….

….can’t quite place it….

….hmmmmm…….

Looks like this patch ANet added an invisible wall to the corridor just before Leurent on TA Fwd. #stealthfixes

Pineapple tree still broken though in TA Up.

Where abouts? There is a lot of corridors before leurent. x)

I suck at explaining but…

4 Archers (in the dome thingys) → Nightmare Hounds → 1 group of trash here → bridge → more trash x 2 + lots of blossoms → nightmare pups

That bridge part you could leap off the right and run through there but there’s a wall there now.

I thought that was already walled. >.<

Thats the part you run through in story mode isnt it?

Hmm….can I get a vague clue as to the whereabouts of the pineapple tree? (feel free to PM if you want to keep it off the forum)

I miss the old flower mapbreak. Exploring off-path in TA is so much fun, it’s probably the prettiest dungeon IMO

I believe he means the tree you LoS the champ and elite on which makes them stand there and do nothing. Its right by the door and blossoms before the tree.

Ah, I thought it was another map exit. Darn.

I post a “p123 experienced zerks only” lfg for CoE. People join and leave immediately, most likely due to my low AP (second account). Now I can’t post lfg because I became suppressed due to “excessive messaging”. Ok, guess I’ll join other lfgs to get my coe fix. Nope, not happening. Being kicked on sight even after saying this isn’t my 1st account.

Fine, I’ll solo this kitten. Just before clearing the first trash – dc.

Great…

Why would they advertise ls 3 that way, with a trailer and a pax announcement since they’ve never done it before? Why would they trademark this heart of thorns for the same ol’ stuff, as it was never done before?
It implies a change in their MO. It could mean expansion, it could mean small DLCs – like a couple of missions, it could mean ls 3 but with bigger, more spread in time, paid episodes with features that you’d normally see in an expansion… as in, a new weapon, stuff like that. I’d be fine with that, it just has to be less horrible than the previous ls episodes. Shouldn’t be too hard to achieve?
Do they really need the pax to talk about a new map? Wasn’t it already done before?
It could mean nothing, but at this point I have nothing left but hope. What else are we supposed to do, really. Trolling on the forum is fun, but other than that…
Oh, and let’s not forget the grind to get the carapace chest…. RNGsus.
Pray for me, I want all 3 of them.

And the boss sucked major balls. They can’t seem to produce an encounter that has kittening MAJORLY DIFFERENT PHASES other than… what, 2 dungeon bosses?

P.S. I’m fully aware that I got my head buried deep in my butt and I don’t want to see the truth: this is anet, it’s gonna be a huge flop and I’m hypin’ for nothing.
Probably the phone app. Or a simple discussion about ls, with no hints at the future of the game. Yeah, probably that. That would be soooo anet!

OMG SOLAS PLZ WHY U FRIENDZONE ME

Rasimir.6239:

Seeing as I’ve got a few days off work coming up, I’ve decided to set myself a new goal: reach Fractal reward level 50 before the end of the year. It might become an interesting experiment: I have rarely pugged fractals before, and never beyond level 9. I only have two characters with enough ar for lvl 40-50, mesmer and guardian, and only have decent experience with one of them (the mesmer). My experience in and knowledge of high-level fractals is ok-ish, but certainly far from perfect.

I’m taking bets on whether or not I’ll make that goal (considering that I did a total of three fractal runs across two accounts last month, one each on reward level 49, 29 and 9, it certainly isn’t going to be done automatically ), and of course invitations to be carried through some 49/50 fractals (never did a 50 before) are always welcome, too .

Looks like I’ll not make it after all. I didn’t do any fractals until the 22nd, then got several done over Christmas thanks to a wonderful guildie who kept bugging me about it and even re-did a lvl 50 one day just so I’d get a group (thanks a lot, I’d never have gotten this far without you!), and I’ve finally reached reward level 49 two days ago, but I guess there’s just no more time for the last one today .

Oh well, 49 is a good place to be at, too, and I guess I’ll get to 50 early next year then. Thanks a lot to everyone who helped me get this far!

Next year’s project: get this account to fractal level 50, too . It’s a lot more long-term than the main account though, seeing as I only have 25 ar, hardly any mist essences and no crafters on the account. Should be an interesting journey.

Two weeks late, but I finally made it. I got my main account to fractal level 50!

Thank you so much to everyone involved! And special thanks and congrats to the friend who made the last part of the journey with me and got to level 50 last night, too!

No probs, we’re all gonna get reset to 20 in the next fractal patch anyway. Enjoy it while it lasts!

I kind of like the boss. I prefer them like this than requiring huge amounts of coordination. Still havent finish my Wurm achievements.

The individual champions were a little weak because who can really be a threat to a zerg? But they atleast forced players to pay attention with those area of effect mechanics and they had some fairly decent design elements (easy to ignore because of zerg). Its nice that they took design elements from marionette and made it less dependant on the failings of individuals. I was a little disappointed there was no final encounter after destroying all 3 champions though.

Totally agree. Plus, the RNG loves me this time. I’ve been getting chests upon chests.

One thought that occurred to me when doing the three champs was how if they turned all three champs into one legendary boss who possessed all three of the area mechanics at the same time, you’d have a pretty decent raid boss for a 10 man group.

Might nerf. Ooof. 125 Power is a pretty decent DPS reduction.

On the plus side, Rush might be fixed!

I like the change to Zealot’s Flame/Zealot’s Fire, might give Torch an edge over Focus for burst.

Is making runs slower gonna make the game funnier? /sigh
I can’t do this… I want to stay but I don’t know how to do it.
I want to be with my friends, but most of them left (again) and… I don’t know… too much. I think this unhealthy relationship between me and the game has to end. It’s an edulcorated version of being with an abusive partner, and honestly, I’ve had enough of that for a lifetime. Seems like I’ve got a talent for sticking to things that are bad for me <.<

Unlikely.

Todays fractals was adorable..

I was doing fractals with friends and its always adorable to see everyone pause for a sec, as there is nornaly 2 stacking spots and watch people atuo step to the one they are used too and then step back with the group.
ITS SOO CUTE!! >.<
