Guild Wars 2

This was totally my first thought as well.

Devildoc.6721:

4. The funhouse is gated behind doing these invasions successfully, which afker’s can prevent from ever happening if you constantly get in an overflow. So if you keep getting the same freaking maps, and get in overflows that fail constantly, you’re pooched from ever seeing a good chunk of this update’s content.

This is flat out wrong.

The achievements to get to the playhouse/back into the arena are dependent on just being there, win or lose.

Hell, all of the achievements are like that except for the one to kill Scarlet.

mattbnh.9247:

Not sure how home server would affect this.

It wouldn’t affect it other than needing to be in the same overflow to join a Fratcal run.

Also, your level wouldn’t matter as long as you’re willing to listen and communicate, as long as you meet the minimum to get in.

This sounds cool. Shoot me an invite if you don’t mind a psychotic thief running around.

Before I get back to actually playing the game and having fun, I just gotta say, this whole siutation reminds me of something I read, and saved, about a certain image board.

“Ok, Gonna explain something about /tg/ to you all, and nerds in general.

Nerds are some of the most opinionated people on the planet. Why? Because most of them have a head for trivia, and recall many disparate facts about several different topics. They always seem to know something about everything.

Herein lies the problem. This makes them think they know more than they do. How do I know this? I catch myself doing it too. I catch my friends doing it. It’s rampant on this board.

Why is this relevant? Well it means that nerds become very opinionated due to always correcting people that know less than they do. The issue is that then they run into people that know more than they do, and look kitten because most of them are used to being the ‘font’ of all rightness, and it butthurts them to no end that they are being shown up. Brains are supposed to be their forte, after all.

What this leads to is a bunch of howler monkeys wearing glasses sharing a board with one another, all used to being right all the time, and all used to being the smartest guy in the room (in their own mind, anyway). Clash is inevitable. And thus, we have /tg/, where we bicker and hate and can’t stop because we’re wired to be right. We’re wired to be Alpha Nerd.

Therefore, we can’t agree on anything, ever, as a whole. So we’ll never be able to self-moderate into an acceptable compromise, because each kitten here, myself included, thinks this is ‘my /tg/’. So we have to have our hands held by the mods/janitors.

And that’s /tg/ in a nutshell."

Don’t forget the neckbeard. MINE IS BUSHIER THAN YOURS!

We’re nerds, the neckbeard is a given.

Lots of (imo) fairly accurate things.

Now for the real important thing. Falafel or hummus?

Both. Never had either, I’ll try ’em.

No no no. The original papaya was perfect for you. You enjoyed it for MONTHS. If it was rotten you would have never enjoyed it in the first place and taken it back immediately for a refund.

Yeah but now the papaya has given you AIDS. Whether or not you choose to acknowledge it, its there.

This is the correct analogy.

Fine, lets go with this silliness.

It’s your choice to partake of the AIDS. You can still eat the papaya without getting AIDS if you so choose.

No one is making you get the AIDS. That’s an option available to you however if you would like.

YOU ATE THE KITTEN PAPAYA ALREADY. We already bought Guild Wars 2. Now they’ve shoved AIDS in our face. We can ignore it all we like, its still THERE.

That poor kitten.

StormGryffen.7638:

Derk.3189:

Your analogy is wrong. 3 months later the Papaya gave you AIDS is what this is equivalent to. You bought a Papaya, you never asked for the AIDS.

This is a public service announcement. You can’t get AIDS from papayas. Probably. Paid for by The Papaya Society of Tyria.

That’s it, everyone stop this silliness!
The whole premise is silly and it’s very badly written. I’m the senior officer here and I haven’t had a funny line yet. So I’m stopping it.
This thread is over!

Man. Why must Subway be closed now. I’m hungry.

I bet when you go to Subway and someone puts Mayo on your sub, but you totally asked for Ranch (NOT known as mayo!) you are just like “whatever brah, I can dig it” and go on your way.

Well you know what? Sometimes I don’t want mayo. I want ranch. The sandwich said “Chicken Bacon Ranch” not “Chicken Bacon Mayo”, so why give me the mayo Subway lady? I did not ask for the mayo friend. I even said “hold the mustard”, but I got the mustard too. So now I got me some Chicken Bacon Mayo and Mustard. This is just not the sandwich I ordered friend.

So, in this analogy, you’re the kind of person who, upon receiving the wrong condiment, screams bloody murder for 6 days in ordered to ruin everyone else’s meal and then, when thrown out of the establishment after a great deal of patience is afforded you by the staff for your complaining, you organize an effort to put Subway out of business dishonestly?

No. You are not that person. No one is. So why try to be that way?

Maybe that was a bad analogy. I’ll try again.

So maybe I go to the grocery store instead, and I want buy a papaya. So I buy one that looks pristine, like mint condition man. This thing is a beacon of hope for my future snacking needs.

Later on I get home, and I crack open that papaya. But guess what friend, that papaya is rotten to the core in the inside. That thing smells like death too. I can’t snack on this papaya. That thing will give me nasty guts. So I take it back to the store, but they won’t take it back right? They say, it’s my fault, because I misunderstood the label that said “Papayas fresh brought in last night”. But if they were brought in last night, how could they be rotten already? I just don’t know. How could it be rotten? Impossible. I just don’t believe it.

An anology that would make more sense in this case is getting a bag of yellow papaya’s, and getting home, finding a red one in with all the green ones, and suddenly going out and slandering the store to everyone you know.

How do I leave with yellow papayas and come home with only green and red ones? Did someone steal my yellow ones? That ain’t nice at all man.

Gold Famers, man. They steal anything.

Edit: And all of this talk of Subway and papaya’s made me hungry,

Pretty much the same. The overflow I was on got to the second renforcement phase, I ended up crashing out, and logged onto an overflow that finished it. I tried oveflow bouncing to get back, but after the 5th try, gave up.

I love the game, but this is upsetting. I just hope Anet does something.
