Hello, here’s Mr. Whisker and you’re reading BBcat news: where the dungeons run you!

An interesting change in habits of some dungeon crawlers has been reported by the krytan authorities: yesterday, at approximately 10pm local time, an heterogeneous group of elitists, game younglings and drug dealers started a “pro GuangMath” party that lasted for most of the night and involved a disturbingly high amount of engineers, some of them naked… causing noise and trouble in the fractals of the mists.

It is believed that the partecipants – most of them are renown members of our community – were under the effect of alcohol or other illicit substances; when questioned, the well-known Tequatl commander – and strong advocator of magi gear on dungeon guardians – Nosferatu said: “’Cause engi best personal deeps! You scrubs”. He then attempted to assault our cameracat with a bottle of beer. We’re glad to announce he failed. Nosferatu is currently on detention and has been infracted.
Our reporter also tried to interview the notorious Spojbob Engipants, revered by our country for achieving… unspecified things; he didn’t seem to understand the questions and instead giggled madly for the duration of the encounter, shouting disconnected claims such as “Engi new meta” or “I’m so op, look at the bleeds”.
During the interview, another party’s partecipant was roaming the field on his bare skin, dancing and announcing his undying love for engineers and the spreadsheets that allowed him to discover such a precious dps class. He then shouted “MUSHROOMS” and threw himself down a cliff. He’s currently being treated at the Lion’s Arch field hospital; his identity is unknown.

The offenders were promptly stopped, but a question remains: what was their purpose?

Please let us know if you wish to be informed about Nosferatu’s Undying Monk guardian build, or about some of spoj’s deeds, and as always thanks for reading.

Meow.

I took my ranger on some adventures in pug-land last night (sadly, it’s a lot easier for me to practice meleeing in pugs than with the friends I usually run dungeons with). There was a variety of weird encounters.

One path had a troll that kept everybody waiting, then started swearing at people that didn’t respond instantaneously, and eventually went out of his way to pull additional mobs onto the group mid-dungeon, which got him kicked in short order. Afterwards he started whispering people and threatening all kinds of things … welcome to my blocklist.

One path saw my ranger bite the dust at every single boss, not just downed, but outright defeated. It would have been really humiliating if the damage done to those bosses wouldn’t have instantaneously and obviously slowed to a crawl every time I went down. I guess there’s a first to everything, even to me playing the lead dps in a party .

All in all I’m really glad I decided to give my ranger a try as a dungeon class and get him the proper equipment for it. While I’m still far from good on ranger, and get downed way too often, I really enjoy the playstyle .

“Guys, GvG was cancelled tonight. Let’s Fractal.”

Normally I’d leave when Bloomhunger takes 7 minutes to die, but when we got Cliffside second I was having too much fun watching them fail at trying to tank and out-heal the Arch Diviner.

Well I have to say his point are pretty underpinned. Atleast…

If you understood the game even remotely as much as the “elitists” around here(and weren’t a complete dracula drone which your tone makes me think you are), you’d haven’t said this, even under crystal meth.

If you’re a BHB and report this/get me infracted, it’ll just confirm it.

Stop trying to farm infractions.

I must say I’m confused, who is hendo now?

Gah. I hate myself.
I was doing my daily gauntlet on a completely empty arena. A stupid bearbow (with bird) walks in and fumbles around at Liadri, dying after a couple of minutes with her at 90% health while I patiently [haha] wait for my turn to finish the godkitten bosses. I look around: there’s an empty arena right beside the one we’re currently in. “Why the hell is he so clumsy he can’t see it?!??!” I wonder. “Should I move? of course not, I was there first and that would hurt my pride! A real alpha male gotta show them PHIW!”
After a few mins of me burning down bosses in a few seconds and spending 10 minutes blankly staring at that genius pewpewing with his bow, another bearbow walks in. 3 signets, bear on his side. I sigh so loudly I’m afraid of waking someone up. “I’m sick of this, but I no can leave! I must show them who’s the boss here! You know what? Instead of doing deadeye I’ll do liadri and show them how it’s done”.
I queue up for Liadri. The seconds agonise by. My neck starts getting stiffy in tension. Why are my hands and arms itching now? Why the hell is my face all twitchy as if I had some mental illness? Oh god, I can’t really do this while they’re staring at me. I can feel their bears’ eyes piercing my skin and gazing into my soul. Oh god. I can almost hear them whisper “Exploit… exploit… zerk… stack… noob…”
My turn…. ok ok tis fine. Now I’ll position myself here and 1…2… dod—-
Dead on the first AoE.

Yeah.
That’ll show them.


inb4 I ragequit, change my mind, walk back into an empty arena and beat Liadri first try.
Maybe I should stop being so emotional.
Or maybe all those PHIW threads are starting to erode my mental sanity.

A guildy of mine ragequit two nights in a row, on two different bosses before getting to Liadri, feel better.

Also hooray for an end to my forced vacation.

After multiple attempts of failing miserably at trying to melee Liadri with my guardian, I got bored of it, pulled out a scepter and just kited her in circles. Downed twice, rallied by destroying the oh-hey-im-gonna-pull-you-here thingies.

I accumulated too many forum happy fun time points.

On another note it is surprisingly difficult to dodge when you have bandages on your fingers preventing you from feeling anything, I was failing all over the place duoing Arah Story tonight. So much so my guildy put up an lfm after the Mouth of Zhaitan because I am bad and should feel bad; maybe I should join PHIW groups till I heal.

I almost guardian leaped right off the ship a few times by accident, it was great.

I know dat feel of having numb fingers that don’t respond.. or trying to do Arah while your cat sits on your hand/in front of the screen/on the keyboard/on my head (as a kitten). Wut happened to them in your case?

And no, don’t join PHIW groups no matter how bad you feel about yourself and your skills… or maybe do it, and realise how much they suck. For example, newsflash:
I was trying to solo Wiggin on ’nade engi – a cakewalk, until 2 idiots came over me, super excited because they saw the health of a boss going down… a guardian and a gs mesmer, obviously. The boss scaled up, his health stopped going down and they pulled 2 pirate adds and at least 4 centaurs on me, because obviously the gs mesmer panicked and dodged back into the centaur area. I had to run away and the boss reset.

So yeah, no matter how nub you think you are: they’re going to prove you wrong.

P.S. Op parrot runes bein’ op.

A knife and I got into an argument over how to make pretty little cheese shavings, I did not win.

Oh I know how much PHIW groups suck. Did a SE P1 “zerker speed run” earlier, 2 guards (1 hammer: goodbye fire fields), 2 warriors, 0 reflects and banner of defence; I was on my zerker ele, it was painful and that was before I cut chunks off of my finger.

I love hoping. If it happens, great! If it doesn’t, maybe it wasn’t worth hoping for, or I’m caring too much about it. It’s a game, after all.

I’m not hoping for endless fun for everyone (that’s what PHYWs want!). I’m hoping for less zergs and more permanent, challenging and rewarding content. And from the patch notes and news, it seems they’re trying.
