Now take a rolling pin and smash it up a bit. Perfect!

That looks amazing.

300 ping is like a good day for my Australian Kangaroo Drop Bear powered internet :P

The 300 ping was exacerbated by the ten-ish shots of rum…and 3 months of rust….and mostly my permabadness

TIL I don’t like rum anymore. I haven’t had a hangover in years of bourbongaming, and today I feel like kitten. Back to my whiskey, I guess.

Aw, I’m late to the party again.

There are plenty of good games out there though!

Day 1, fractal solo going badly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oavjGjFPfUs&feature=youtu.be

10/10 lob. Wow.

Man some of you guys are such a bummer. This is like reading a version of the story of your friend who is dating a girl who is treating him badly and he wants to break up with her but doesn’t because he is afraid he’ll never meet anybody else.

The solution is ofcourse they need to break up since they are both miserable. Everyone knows it. Everyone told him to dump her. But he won’t do it. So when he starts another story about how she treated him wrongly you just want to say, “dude, shut up. I told you to dump her months ago and you didn’t so stop complaining about her to me.”

Ok. Cool story, bro.

As we’ve said a few times, most of us whiners are pretty much just waiting to see what they do with the HoT CGC. That’s the make-or-break. Up until now, we’ve had little ‘challenging’ content to judge the direction of the game by, and soon we’ll get to see what they had in mind.

If it’s what we’ve been waiting for, we’ll likely go back to enjoying the game. If it’s not, we’ll be moving on.

And FWIW, we’re allowed to talk on here and discuss the game as we wish. There’s not a lot of good to say, so the conversations are going to turn negative more often than not. If you don’t want to read it, you can try…um…not reading it?

You’re free to discuss the game as you wish. I’m free to tell you that your discussion is bothering people, not sure why you are so hurt by me pointing out that to you. Forgive me for pointing out your pity party is a pity party.

You can’t tell us what to do!!!

I’m not really hurt, bud. If negative posts bother you, feel free to skip mine — I won’t be offended :-) Maybe try reading a subforum for an area of the game that hasn’t been cultivating negativity for a couple years if you’re looking for more positive reading material? Yes, it’s a pity party, but no one is forcing you to involve yourself with it. You’re here voluntarily and have the power to report/ignore posts that you feel aren’t appropriate.

Don’t like this PUG? Drop party and make your own group. Make a “Nike’s Rainbows and Sunshine Dungeon Discussion Thread”. Go nuts :-)

I only replied because, from your rather condescending post, you seemed curious why we stuck around if we’re not enjoying the game. I was trying to clear that up for you: there’s something we’re waiting to see. That’s all.

We should quit MMOs and never play them again.

I’m not a white knight for anet. I have plenty of criticisms, I’m genuinely unhappy with a ton of stuff. But I learned a long time ago, no one cares. In case you missed LunarStarlet’s comment read it again, but read it with the intended sarcasm. Being endlessly negative and whiney isn’t attractive. Don’t take it as a criticism from me about you, take is as some good advice for here and for life in general: don’t wallow in self-pity it doesn’t ever end well.

And no, I’m not curious at all while you’re still here. You’ve put in a ton of time to the game, its a sunk investment. Its why people don’t leave bad relationships, its why we stayed around Vietnam for so long. People invest in something, it doesn’t work out and they don’t want to pull out because they’ve put so much into it. It’s basic human nature. So no, I’m not surprised at all that people who are unhappy after thousands of hours are still here.

I don’t hang around here with any hopes for the game. I just enjoy the people who still enjoy the game

Yes I’m a pessimist, but I think I’ve made that pretty clear already, and whatever people think about me because of it, well, I don’t really care. But, I don’t think I wallow in self pity, more like basking.

Well, there were a few of us in the conversation / pity party that were commiserating, so I wouldn’t say it as ‘no one cares’. It’s good to let things out and vent sometimes. Many of us on this forum share common grievances and find a support group of sorts here — We can share our disappointment with people who understand, and it makes it easier to pass the time as we wait to see if it’s going to be worth sticking around.

In case you missed LunarStarlet’s comment read it again, but read it with the intended sarcasm. Being endlessly negative and whiney isn’t attractive.

We were (drunkenly, I might add) commiserating with friends over a disappointing experience that we’ve been sharing for the last several years, not trying to pick up dates Attractiveness wasn’t a goal of that conversation.

Don’t take it as a criticism from me about you, take is as some good advice for here and for life in general: don’t wallow in self-pity it doesn’t ever end well.

Doesn’t do good to always hold things in either. I don’t disagree that endless self-pity is bad, but that’s not the same as venting about a shared disappointment with like-minded individuals.

Sorry the negativity bothers you, but don’t make it into more than it is. We’re letting off some steam together and then going on with our lives — not ‘wallowing in self pity’ It’s just a game.

So no, I’m not surprised at all that people who are unhappy after thousands of hours are still here.

Agreed. And to supplement that view, I was sharing that if you want to see the negativity stop, it’s probable that you won’t have to wait much longer. After we see where the game is going with its second-generation content in HoT, I expect that the negativity will dissipate one way or another — we’ll either make up with GW2 and give it another shot, or ‘break it off’ for good

It takes courage to speak like Nike. Rather admirable.

I wouldnt be surprised. But you are more likely to recieve a punch to the face if you rub someone the wrong way in real life.

What if he rubs them the right way?

Then it increases the chance of them rolling a 1 and just running their fingers trough your hair while gently whispering naughty thoughts.

You really need to step up your game mister.

Got trouble dodging, my dear? I’ll admit that belka can be quite demanding, especially if she’s locked on your pet 24/7.
I don’t need it tho, I range with my lb all the time (yeah, I swear I have one on my other set, don’t kick me from the Big Brown and Furry guild plz).

I was wondering what to make next, a female and trap Cullen or perhaps an ugly dwarf to troll Cassandra…. found this while roaming http://forum.bioware.com/topic/528731-in-your-heart-shall-burn-if-you-dont-die-from-a-stroke-doing-it/

And games used to be harder a few years ago. Where were all these people…

Another “berserkers are faceroll stand in one spot and spam” post

as someone who hasn’t played in a while, in all honesty is standing in one spot and chaining ice bow freezes particularly that challenging? you know, assuming the boss doesn’t die before the first one ends.

Pugs dont do that at all though..

Easy as pie with a d/p thief and a group that knows how the game works.

PUGs don’t do it because you still can’t rely on them to understand defiance.

Started a new playthrough of FO3 last night….super excited for the reveal tonight! \o/

Do those people even have a brain or something that remotely resembles one?

Horrible quality video of dredge hitboxes post death. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9wh5HKHURo

How do people manage such shiny recordings where you can actually read the combat log?

Record in HD on max resolution? My computer is too old to handle that though.

My screen captures don’t record gw2 when I go into fullscreen 1920×1080 though. It shows my desktop, unsure why.

Edit: Going through settings, there are such marvelous things you find when you actually read things instead of pressing buttons.

They just admitted on live stream that they are nerfing movement speed because they felt that 1. people were moving around maps too fast, and 2. people were exploiting to get outside of maps.

GG YOU FILTHY ZERKER EXPLOITERS. THANKS FOR NERFING MY ENGINEER.

Edit: Also they buffed ice bow. Lol.

Can someone do a quick recap of what happened on the live stream? Especially curious about ice bow.

This change is disgusting. You already spend more time skipping than actually fighting (except for HotW or low man parties) and now they buff DPS out of the kitten while nerfing mobility to the ground.

Obviously one has to see how it will turn out, but I think dungeons will be really boring with this change.

oxtred.7658:

So far: condi cap raised to 1500, all damaging condis now stack intensity, ice bow buffed skills 2/3, 4 increased by 25% and causes vuln, there’s a trait so that might affects healing power, warriors have a trait that increases dmg. by 30% which is OP for rampage.

Edit: Engi supply crate now a turret with 3 blasts, elixirs buffed, grenade range down, redesigned mortar with 1500 range. Engi does 5% more dmg to foes with vuln. Engi emphasis all around blasts, gonna have TONS.

Stream is at 2 hours and they haven’t gotten through half the classes. I don’t know if we can really summarize it.

Not just dungeons, everything is less entertaining with bad mobility. WvW, open world PvE and even for some builds PvP are all affected.

“Hey, let’s make it harder for everyone to move around!”

I wonder who had that great idea…

Prelude to mounts / world gliders?

I’m so confused ._ .

Icebow being buffed, wut.

And the movement change, I can’t even…

Sad times.

We are going to see a tremendous amount of healing engis when this update goes live, I guarantee it.
