Guild Wars 2

In January 2014, the Great Jungle Wurm wreaked havoc in Bloodtide Coast. This colossal Triple-Headed Wurm proved a formidable opponent to the masses of trophy hunters wanting it’s three heads on a mantle. For days they threw themselves at the monstrosity; countless brave souls sent to grisly and painful deaths. Some witnesses claim the monster was too challenging, or it’s foes not up to the task. Tyria weeped for Bloodtide Coast.

Survivors of the horror will tell you that the Wurm had unknown advantages; magical… insects of a sort… that regenerated the Wurm’s vitality instantaneously. No matter how many weapons were raised to send the beast back to the void, it would return at full strength. How was such a foe defeated, then?

After the initial slaughter, Tyria’s leaders arose and the horns of battle were sounded. Scribes and seers from across the land studied initial reports and surveyed the death-consumed battlefields for clues. An elusive and skilled clan of fighters were called upon to train Tyria’s yet unbloodied soldiers for the fight to come. The Wurm’s tenacity was defeated, it’s otherworldly magics discovered and repelled. Bloodtide Coast was freed from the Wurm’s harrowing, and an alliance was forged to protect Tyria from similar dangers — they called themselves Attuned.

Now they are being called upon to face an unknown force that threatens our world. Once more, they will sacrifice themselves for Tyria. However, they will need your help to succeed; for they face not a mere beast but enter into an uncharted realm where many heroes will perish.

May our fallen be remembered.

We should quit MMOs and never play them again.

Most of us would say that the ancient jungle wurm is a more difficult encounter to defeat than Teqautl, and therefor should have a title that rivals it in distinction. “The Troubleshooter” adequately describes our struggles the past week in participating in this new territory GW2 is heading into, as well as reflects the name of the meta achievement. Being rewarded a specific title for defeating all three wurms together would be even better.

Either way, I would more proudly use The Troubleshooter as my character’s title.

So after thinking about how lame “Great Jungle Wurm Slayer” sounds after spending a week to kill such an epic boss encounter, I wanted to open up a discussion about suggestions on a new and interesting title to take it’s place.

My suggestion would be, “The Troubleshooter”

Perhaps even adding it as a separate title for defeating all three wurms at the same time.

Just to reiterate:

Death and Taxes has always shared the mindset that teaching newer players who may not meet our requirements, but show potential, is often a solid investment. However, we receive many good applications and don’t have unlimited time. Because of this, we’ve raised the bar a little further to what we deem as an acceptable means of measuring an applicant’s determination and desire to become a member of our guild.

In other words, what makes you so special? We are looking for players to play with, not carry.

Feeling the effects of the sudden increase in disconnects. Pass the razor blade after you’re done with it.

Still looking for talented players for Fractals and PvP.

Thanks for the new website, KaboomzZz.

Despite the look of the link title, this is an editorial from Ten Ton Hammer’s Guild Wars 2 site and not a link to an exploit/bot site. Thanks for the reports though! ~ Dalmarus

A player in our group who was bugged for 4 days getting 30 or less tokens per run has now finally become “unbugged” and got 60 and 45 in our dungeons tonight, while another player’s character seems to have gotten bugged mid-way through the week and doesn’t get over 30.
