Mad Memories is back!

So, I had accidentally deleted the character I had that had this item shortly after the 2012 halloween event ended. The wardrobe update didn’t include my Mad Memories (as expected). My question is simple: Can I or can I not obtain the Mad Memories this year?

Seriously, did you not read the two posts directly above yours?

ANet should make it available for people who can spell it.

You know.. I just discovered, unless stopped, my Chrome automatically changes “Memoires” to “Memories.” Apparently, “Memoires” is not a real word. “Memoirs,” however, is a real word.

“Mémoire” (with accent and with -e) is French. It translates to “memory”. “Mad Memories” is not all THAT wrong.

“Memoire” (without accent but with an -e) doesn’t really mean anything.

So the first people to misspell whatever this is (probably “Memoirs”) were ANet.

;)

What you’re saying isn’t false, but “mémoires” in French does have another meaning as memories, one which fits a LOT more to the situation. It’s the one you mentionned (“memoirs” in English): https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/m%C3%A9moires#Nom_commun. As in, some sort of autobiography, to keep it simple. It’s linked to the “memories” meaning, but very distinct.

Now given that the in-game item doesn’t have an accentuated letter and that the English term exists, surely it was an oversight / confusion. Just wanted to clarify that though

So it looks like only the first 3 sites are aviable. Great, I thought I could get the skin again since I deleted the item halfway between the first Halloween and the implementation of the wardrobe, but nope, apparently I can’t.

On the same boat as you buddy. But hey, we must be entitled.

[THS] ! The third [TKS] now open!

This post has great ideas, and with a few tweaks and number-crunching, it could just make the game’s bosses great to fight, and allow for a lil’ bit more diversity.

I love this thread, the ideas it contains are of the utmost interset.

I’d say, in your analysis of the dragon champions, one could say that the Claw of Jormag already fits the bill (the pre-event involves him throwing down crystals everywhere that must be destroyed, yada yada, then it involves some kind of lair phase with his barriers, and then it falls near the lake, and must be “melee’d”). It highlights even more tragically where Tequatl and the Shatterer are lacking.

Racial skills, be them elite or not, have always been intended to be not as powerful as class skills. They can be situationally cool and/or fill in a blank in your setup, but they’re definitely intended to be underpowered overall, and not be a “forefront for your skill bar”.

So I guess that answers your question?

Being one of those who chatted on this idea this afternoon, I came here to say that I am totally in favor of this. Make your game even awesomer, Anet. You can do this. You are our only hope. Our hope to show these Karka how we do it! For Tyria!
