It’s usually June for me I swear i get sick every event season (for work) handling money is so dirty, there is no amount of purell in the world that will keep the sickness from getting to me. I get sick 3 times a year like clockwork, always 2-3 weeks into the event season. Other than that completely healthy outside of “I don’t feel like doing kitten today” sessions where I call into work “sick.”

Me! But you already knew that, right?
Get well soon!
Thanks guys <3
And I do have an EU account! I got one in the last $10 account sale. It only has one toon, though, and he’s never left Rata Sum. He just crafts and TPs allllll day…Made it to level 57 without touching a mob though, thanks to login rewards lol
Once he gets hisself up to 80 (and once I can even think about logging in without getting bored at the thought) I need to do some dungeons with you fine EU folks and see what all the fuss is about >.>
And sick sucks. Boo.
holy kitten, the witcher 3 is pretty good indeed. Playing since yesterday and even tho i feel like a noob (managed to kill the kitten griffon) i enjoy every second i play!

Yeah you better level up. And be quick.
Honestly, I dunno what the fuss is all about. Surely there’s no fuss with me since I suck at dungeons, but I suck in a funny way. So they say at least. I make the stupidest mistakes and then go crazy on ts.
Nice to hear that even Jesus, sometimes, isn’t holier than thou and actually gets sick. The sins of us people…!
I beat you though, I get sick about once every 1-2 months. Like a clockwork. Migraine, cough and, worst of all, a cold. 1-4 weeks. Of course docs say it’s all in my head. Cus that’s what they do. Never listen.
Me! But you already knew that, right?
Get well soon!
Thanks :/ guess we’re both talented at getting sick.
Anyway, one good thing comes out of this: this ravaging cough made my voice drop and sound like Peter Steele’s.
Almost.
When I manage to talk.
…. anyone hyped for HoT? The more I play in stress tests and betas, the less I’m optimistic. I haven’t seen anything that could catch my interest for more than a week.

Sounds like me :P

Let’s just say that at this point, I don’t even plan on buying it when it releases. If they decide to add some decent instanced stuff or I start seeing old friends return and stay for more than 2 hours, I might change my mind. Otherwise I’ll wait until the price drops to about $10 :-/
If all we’re getting with HoT is another SW/DT, then no thanks. Didn’t like those the first time around….

Well it seems like it’ll be only that, but we can’t know. There surely will be something else… yeah? Hopefully? /sigh
They talked about challenging… cling to that.
I’m gonna buy it anyway because everyone else is, and I want the revenant to have another toy I can fashion with. That’s pretty much it.
She’s gonna be super pretty
P.S. I may even remake my necro. We’ll see. I’m bored.

Yeah, we didn’t see anything of the group content and, to be honest, letting us do that kind of content in a stresstest that’s free to access for everyone who had a bit of luck wouldn’t be the best idea either.
I’m gonna wait for the release, listen to what the people say, watch a bunch of videos and then see if it’s worth it or not.
I have enough games to play and a backlog huge enough to bury people underneath it for now. lol
backlog
:o?
Are you asking what’s in my backlog or what a backlog is? Can’t exactly follow right now. :v
The hentai tonic?
Ok guys, so this happened today xD
That look is priceless.
I still believe someone missclicked that host :w
I was kinda doing AC P6 and then CM bugged, not very OP to show on official stream :s

Ah btw can anyone tell me what this is
No, I meant that monstrosity.

Backlog = List of games bought, but not yet started/finished. Boils down to 90% of my steam library – On top of that, some of my games I own aren’t even listed yet for some reason and I’m quite invested in DFO right now, which is another MMO. …I think I need help.
As for that monstrosity, said person probably has a bunch of… er, specific preferences?

Nahhhh, you’re fine. Avid gamer! It’s hot. I can’t help but wonder, though, why we have so little privacy. Feisbuck, steam… hours played, what you do, what you don’t… everyone keeping you under the magnifying glass?Owell. /shrug
I’m super boring… I’ve played like, what, 10 games in my whole life? I tend to pick one and nerd the hell out of it until I’m burnt out. Been doing that since I was a kid I’m not a big fan of “changes”. Changes bite.
And I bet he does
P.S. Is devil may cry any good? I like horror stuff and I got told many times I should play/watch that.

ayy it would be Spoj

Well, we choose to give up our privacy on our own, after all. We do have the choice to hide everything/things not everyone is supposed to see, most people just decide to leave all their info open to see for everyone.
Oh, I usually grab one game and focus on that too, once I’m done with said game I move on to the next – that’s always kind of a problem with MMOs. lol
Devil May Cry is a great series (except 2, but I like to pretend DMC2 doesn’t exist), but it’s quite far from horror. The first installment was supposed to be a new Resident Evil, but then got “warped” into what’s Devil May Cry, fast Hack’n’Slash action. None of those games will scare you (except 2, but in a “wow it’s scary how devs can kitten up so hard and ruin everything” way)
It’s cool for me, since I’m an information addict. You never know how much of an info w***e I am until you’re the victim of one of my lists, tho. Hehe. Creeeeepy. Sir Daniel Fortesque kind of creepy, I hope
No horror? okay then f-it for now! Hack n’ slash just isn’t me. As of now, I’m more interested in watching cute kittens on the internet and sitting idle in divinity’s reach, judging other people’s outfits.
Oh, and trying to get solos with more classes on lupi/random dungeon paths. But that’s boring. Being challenged is good, but the repetitive actions required for mechanical honing to the point of near-perfection is… not me either. Impatient.
Checking for some phiw threads. Can’t sleep.

This is pretty good, me thinks. “No more sitting in corners with zerk gear spamming 1!”
They neeeever get tired of this argument.

Ok, i give, forums you win. Type a long response about how raids could be complex and actually create the content people seem to want in this game promoting defensive builds, focus on control, support at a premium all while not artificially punishing DPS or using gimmicks to just force diversity… and… forums eat it
Ohh well, was fun to type up. I really wish they would do raids and really build on the tools GW2 has availalbe, we’ve literally only seen the tip of the iceburg of what could be done with the systems in place.
As Nike likes to point out there’s 5 spots in a party, really limits your diversity of professions, it could be much more interesting with 10 people parties which is why I think raids could get a bit more funky without any problems. Though I’d still encourage a lot of split tactics to be used if not just forcing them to.
Sok hamsterock, just listen to Howlin’ Wolf as I’m doing. It’s better than getting drunk. Gonna make you feel better!
…. as long as he makes you forget that raids aren’t gonna happeeeeeeeen /rolls away
Will do, though getting drunk is quite nice Just got a new bottle of whiskey too!
And yeah… I know it’s dreams, but it’s more entertaining to dream of what the game could be than to play what it is.
I’m gonna buy it anyway because everyone else is
What if everyone in here is thinking exactly like you are? That is, no one really wants too with the info so far, but…
So Everyone is thinking everyone will buy it so they have to buy it too, in an endless hivemind sentiment that sucks your wallet

There are other things that will make most of us buy it regardless. If the challenging group content is disappointing then it will just mean we go back into semi inactivity sooner and be less likely to buy gems etc.
For example. I will be buying it for the new elite specs and the story. The new WvW and stronghold stuff is an added bonus that I may try out and enjoy. Im already certain i will be buying it. But it would be a very nice bonus to feel like my money has gone towards areas i like (instanced content).
Also i dont really get why people say “if theres no instanced content i wont buy it”. Who are you kidding. You are clearly invested in the game if you follow news, still play and read these forums. I seriously doubt someone like that isnt going to buy it. Unless they plan to quit. But if you havent quit already then what makes you so sure you will with the expansion.

The lack of any new content or solid info on HoT “challenging content” has finally managed to put GW2 on a backburner for me. Only reason for me to log in atm is daily AP and 50 for a foolish chance of getting a tonic someday.
Rest of the time is spent in Tera having a blast playing my gunner that they introduced almost a month ago.
I still believe someone missclicked that host :w
I was kinda doing AC P6 and then CM bugged, not very OP to show on official stream :s
Help old man Jenkins here out with your youngin’ whippersnappin’ newfangle’d twitchamajig….
what are we looking at here?
I completely missed it as well. Basically GW2 official channel was hosting Sam’s stream.
For example. I will be buying it for the new elite specs and the story. The new WvW and stronghold stuff is an added bonus that I may try out and enjoy.
Are elite specs, etc only available to folks who buy the expansion? I was under the impression that they would be enabled for all players regardless to keep things balanced (especially since the new specs are quite OP compared to the existing classes!).
Also i dont really get why people say “if theres no instanced content i wont buy it”. Who are you kidding. You are clearly invested in the game if you follow news, still play and read these forums. I seriously doubt someone like that isnt going to buy it. Unless they plan to quit. But if you havent quit already then what makes you so sure you will with the expansion.
Personally (since I was the one who said that :P), I will get it when it’s cheap, or if enough of my friends are actually still around when it launches. As it stands, out of my 100 or so friends, maybe 3 are on at any given time…If HoT makes people come back and stay for more than 5 hours of gameplay before remembering why they left, I’ll probably buy it sooner.
I’m invested in the game and want to see it improve, but what I’ve seen so far isn’t compelling enough to make me want to go out and pay anything more than ~$15-$20 for it right when it comes out. I see more open-world zergs, “challenges” that aren’t challenging, and some new visuals (which I’m sure will be absolutely breathtaking). It’s not so much that I’ll never buy HoT without instance content, but I’m certainly in no rush to go play a new Dry Top.
Alls I know is they announced HoT and talked about “Challenging Group Content”. This was followed by a series of interviews where they were asked point-blank, “will it be instanced”, which they dodged like crazy. Since then, they haven’t even mentioned the “Challenging Group Content” in passing.
My tinfoil hat is telling me (in a quite pleasing baritone, I might add), that they saw the community, pundits, and forums all react to the ‘Challenging Group Content" with hopes that it would be instanced, while they had plans to make more VW / Marionette type encounters. Now we wait to see: (1) Will they go back to the drawing board and give their community what they want? Or (2) will they quietly continue developing open-world clusterkittens and push them out, continuing downplay the “Challenging Group Content” components, as they have since the announcement. Or, (3) will they surprise us with "Here’s a set of new dungeons!" in one of their “deep dives”?
I hope for the third option, but the company’s attitude and direction as of late has me leaning towards door #2.
Ok, i give, forums you win. Type a long response about how raids could be complex and actually create the content people seem to want in this game promoting defensive builds, focus on control, support at a premium all while not artificially punishing DPS or using gimmicks to just force diversity… and… forums eat it
I hate that. I try to make sure I put any long posts in my clipboard before pushing “Reply” just to prevent that :P
I don’t think I’ve ever had a short post get eaten, either >.<
Also, I should add re: HoT w/o instanced content, the specs are going to absolutely wreck the existing dungeons. Think they’re faceroll now? Wait until the specs land.
If they don’t add new instanced content to challenge the new specializations, then that’s just the final nail in the coffin for the only content I really enjoy in this game.
Bumped a bug thread, got an infraction, gg.
Was it the Lupi one? If so, they’re probably just sick of hearing about it.
“Don’t make us do our jobs!!!! No!!!!!!!!! Stop reminding us that we as a company suck so hard we can’t even comment on whether a change is intentional or not! Arrrrrggggghhh!!!!!!!”….Infract Post
I got an infraction for bumping that thread as well. I appealed and they showed in the terms of service for the forums where it does say it is a rules violation to bump a thread without adding any content. So if you want to bump that thread I would suggest adding some brief anecdote rather than saying “bump 15 characters”

To answer your question. Yes. Elite specs are HoT only. Core spec changes are for everyone.
To answer your question. Yes. Elite specs are HoT only. Core spec changes are for everyone.
Ah, cool. Thanks for the clarification. Hopefully they put a decent amount of attention towards balancing the core classes against the specs. But even then, CoE is going to feel like AC after that change unless they revamp the downscaling (which frankly has been needed for a while now).
I sincerely do hope we see something compelling for this community in the expansion.
