I haven’t had to use any spoilers or youtube guides so far, but i think i’m stuck for good this time. I just passed the first ‘actual’ checkpoint, the one right after the frozen waterfall, and I have absolutely no clue on how to proceed here. Can someone give me a hint or guide me in the right direction? That’d be marvellous

Also, thanks anet for Tribulation Mode, i’m having the time of my life here

edit: ok, I have no idea whether this was intended or not (though I have the suspicion it was), but walking almost pixel-perfectly on the edge of the platform that had the barrel in the middle did the trick for me. up until this point I’ve had to do this edge-walking twice already and I felt bad for thinking that I had cheated the system, but now I’m having doubts :p

When does trash talk become "verbal abuse"?

in PvP

there is 2 things to be said here:

first off, if a team loses 100-500 it is in 99% of the cases not the fault of a single player. sometimes the matchmaking system is cruel and will put a group of people all below rank 20 up against a group of rank 40+s. those things happen and you just have to get over it. nobody has a 100% win rate. in fact, you are supposed to lose 50% of your matches, unless you are playing with an extremely good premade team. if people lose, they tend to find a scapegoat, and that scapegoat is obviously never themselves. it is an awful human habit but sadly you can’t really do anything about it. you just have to “learn to lose”.

the second thing is the “verbal abuse”, be it from your own team or from your opponents. i personally report almost anyone who insults me verbally. freedom of speech and all that is fine and good, but it stops right there were you limit the freedom of others, by invading their personal space and call them names. i will personally never understand how people who are obviously good at the game (read: better than you, who is not as experienced) can insult others and feel good about that. i am rank 37 now (which isn’t even really high) and if i have learned one thing from the many years that i have played various competitive games, it is humility. everyone has been a newbie at some point, there is nothing wrong with it, it is a natural process, and only by making mistakes and reflecting about those mistakes and learning from them, can a person become a better player. people who insult others are toxic to the community, they are the reason that people lose interest in pvp and therefore less people play it over time. if everyone would offer constructive help instead of insulting others, not only would that motivate the less experienced players to play more and improve, it would also make the entire atmosphere in the pvp environment more convenient.
