Guild Wars 2

Every now and then I can fire my abilities through the crack in the gate. Definitely a bug considering I can still target catapults and players behind the door and hit them if I position correctly. Works for every other class as well.

After trying out a few guilds looking for a WvW-focused community I had come to the conclusion that GW2 might not be the game for me. I had been a member of large WvW guilds and small community-oriented guilds but none of them seemed to hold my attention and my enjoyment of the game was slowly fading. I loved the idea of applied tactics and the use of small fire teams to cause havok on a map but getting people to break away from the zerg seemed impossible.

I was close to giving up on the game as a whole when I came across a recruitment post for Unlimited. I was instantly drawn in by the first line of the charter and the mission statement. This is what I was looking for in a guild. I signed up on their website and sent in an application the day after. Not long afterwards I was greeted via PM with a “Haaaaaaaaay” (by some guy whos avatar strangely resembles Nick Cage) and told to hop on their Teamspeak server for an interview.

The interview was pretty standard. They asked questions to test the overall knowledge and understanding of my profession, to determine my playstyle and maturity level, and to determine my preference between chocolate and vanilla ice cream (pretty sure they had a wager on that one). After my interview I was taken in as an Initiate and invited to join them in WvW.

My first experience was the guild was no less than stellar. I had never seen a team like this. We spent most of our time on the map as a small force whos sole objective was to find much larger forces and utterly destroy them. I saw for the first time since I started playing a team have a tower wall go down just to completely obliterate the enemy team as they rushed inside. This video is from my first night as an Initiate.

Since then I have become a Member and witness to many other amazing feats over the past few months. From silently taking keeps to outright farming of the massive zergs of the much larger servers we face the members of Unlimited never cease to amaze me in their skill and attention to detail. The leadership and organization is top notch, the player base is full of highly skilled and mature players, and the overall mindset of the guild is one of incredibly high energy and morale with an unfailing devotion to PvP. For me, Unlimited is what makes Guild Wars great.

Get a stable network circuit and a cheap UPS if you’re that worried about the few silver you’d have to dish out for repairs in the rare case you DC.

I think this is the best way they could’ve possibly fixed the issue (also the most hilarious).

I leveled a Thief to 9 solo ganking in borderlands last night. lol

Cliffside had no active upgades, the wall was normal which is why a catapult could work so well when der be none o’ ye lubbers around.

Garrison had been taken by Crystal Desert, then retaken by FA lads…there were no upgrades there matey. Ye were too busy takin’ da Bay. The supply depot had 490/500 when we keelhauled da Lord! I fail to see yer expense ye blustery lan’ lubber.

TSP been exploiting points since the days o’ new opponents e’ery week. Ye plunder what ye can and get away afore ye get yerself killed.

Fixed that for ya.
Also, besides seeing it with my own eyes, I had one of your mesmers admit to using the wall glitch to get into the towers via PM so you’re just making yourself look stupid with posts like this.

I never admitted to exploiting anything. I said I was portaling people to the vista and PoI locations, that was it. Because that was all it was.

Honestly all this crying about exploits because of portaling to vistas and PoIs, if mesmer portals cause such an up roar, then remove it from the game.

Yes we should remove Mesmer portal from the game because you can’t keep yourself from “magically entering” enemy structures. Oh, it’s okay though because you needed those POIs and Vistas.

You’ve got to be kittenting me…

I never thought I’d see the day when a well known guild not only uses a known exploit but tries to defend their use of it. You can’t honestly say you didn’t know that blinking through a gate wasn’t intended. You didn’t know you were using an exploit? That’s a joke, right? I guess blame Anet for forcing you into WvW. Why should you have to work your way to those like everyone else when you can just cheat?

The level of integrity is astonishing.

Totally worth it. Might have been unnecessary until people were defending it as a legitimate tactic.

Who said anything about wanting to be in T2?

Urrid.4593:

As far as t2 goes, were never going to get there without intense teamwork

That’s who.

Tarnished Coast, FA.. same difference, right? lol

All this drama is hilarious. Lots of popcorn and /facepalms on my part.. but maybe I don’t take the whole score and tier thing as serious as everyone else.

What? I’m still trying to figure out if you’re being sarcastic or realized that you made a mistake. A TC guy was talking about moving up to tier 2 with intense teamwork and I responded. Then you, a FA player, wanted to know who said anything about tier 2. So I responded with an answer. I wasn’t even talking about FA but somehow you’re trying to make that dicussion about your server. It appears that you’re trying to stir up drama about your server (when it wasn’t even your server being addressed) and then complain about drama!

I read it all out of context then. I thought Cog (who is not me, btw) was talking about the people saying FA wanted to move up (which just seems silly to me).

And you know me.. always starting drama for my server. lol

I have a lot of respect for TC and honestly CD has brought better fights than YB but they should’ve left their drama and alliance offers in T4.

On topic: Great 3 way fights on CDBL last night all. I started out dead on the west stairs calling out the incoming (died when TC burst through the door) but a Veteran decided to pick me up and let me get back in the lords room to fight you all off. :P It was a blast. Looking forward to more like it in the future.

Also, I refuse to honor any sort of alliance with an enemy server. I can’t be asked to differentiate between different types of scrub, they all need to be cut down. And I’ll say it as many times as you’d like.. I like it here in T3 and I like playing against TC.. why would we want to be dominated in T2 or dominate T4 when we can always have great battles here in the tier we belong?

This is for new accounts.

Don’t forget, those who purchased previously had other opportunities: Beta access, Head-start access, digital items, the post-trial offer, event participation, etc. With each promotion there are different incentives.

I’m usually not one to complain but I think it’s important to note that this is one of the worst things I’ve ever seen from a company. I’m actually in disbelief. I don’t care much for novelty items but this is a total slap in the face to anyone who does (and has been supporting the game since launch).

Basically you’re rewarding people who have never played for buying the game and punishing those who have been helping you out all along. Also I love how you think paying to test the game for your company is somehow a perk to the consumer.

I really love(d) this game but the support is totally killing it.. and things like this only serve to add more nails to the coffin.

Come on people, this is nothing new, pretty much all companies do this and have for a very long time. My local cable company offers HBO free for 6 months to “new subscribers”. The local phone company has offered free caller ID for “new customers”. My ISP has offered free MP3 players to “new subscribers”. Nothing new, nothing wrong with it at all. Have none of you seen offers where you buy a new video card and get a free game? Try this, go to google, and do a search on the phrase “offers for new customers only”.
Of all the many things about the game to complain about, this is not one of them.

Okay so let’s go over a few things here. Your local cable offers free HBO for new customers, yet if you called and asked for an HBO trial I’d bet they wouldn’t turn you down.. same with caller ID. The MP3 offer costs the company money (or rather they got a ton of MP3 players for a promotional deal and now they have to get rid of them without selling them).

Tell me.. what does Anet stand to gain by NOT giving the item to existing customers? What could they lose if they did compared to if they don’t?

I say give the novelty items to your customer base who has been supporting you since the start, and if you need an incentive for new accounts offer booster packs or something for a limited time that would actually give the new player a kick-start to their game.

edit: And for the record I don’t care about the hat. I only play for Dub vee Dub. It just seems like such a huge slap in the face for anyone who actually does care and I thought it warranted feedback.

Can someone use a better translator and make some logic out of this post.

Ranger’s Longbow 2 skill is a channeled series of shots similar to the warrior’s hundred blades skill. Even if you invis/stealth it will keep firing. The best way to avoid it is to just move out of the way, apparently this gentlemen thought going invis and not moving would be enough.

Or dodge it.. or reflect it.. I love the Mesmers are UP posts.. yeah go ahead and give Mesmer a nice buff. I won’t complain. :P

And I love that this one is against a Ranger, which I find to be the most underpowered profession (no offense Rangers).

Leal.4973:

Yeah don’t buff guards, I love being able to solo them as a ranger. Circle strafe, circle strafe, circle strafe, if only the US army learned of this technique we would have no problems at all with war!

I’m not even sure what your last statement means. Pretty silly to be honest.

Slight jab at the ridiculousness of basing arguments on “realism” ?

Some of them know how to circle strafe, but we call those Marines.

Same thing happened to me. Also have never had problems with my game freezing but now it’s happened twice in one night. Probably some new feature I don’t fully understand.

CD is putting up a good fight so far. My game has crashed a couple times and I’m in queue. (Since when have we had queues. Ugh!)

And I like all the gank groups. I haven’t been able to sneak off anywhere without someone finding me and trying to hunt me down.

Phantom.8130:

before the match is officially over, i’d like to say something to the YB guild, Vagrants kitten . the other day was the first time i saw any kitten in WvW. sure, there may have been some around here and there, but it was the first time i saw any out in public. it was nice seeing kitten out there, a bit refreshing actually.

now, to the kitten that i encountered. i’m sorry for pounding you so ruthlessly. it was obvious after the first few seconds that you didn’t have much experience. in retrospect, i probably should have been more gentle, but when the adrenaline starts pumping, things tend to get a little wild.

when YB comes back up to tier 3, i hope to see even more kitten around. make sure to get plenty of practice in, and be sure to really stretch yourselves to the limit. perhaps one day you’ll be able to take on whole 50 man zergs. a little tip to get you started though, make sure to focus on them one at a time. trying to take them all on at once can be a bit overwhelming.

just, make sure you don’t end up fleeing, because people will spend countless hours and resources chasing kitten take it a compliment. and know that once the full power of kitten is unleashed, the world will be your oyster.

thank you for your time, and good luck in your next match

(awaits infraction)

(EDIT: heh, their guild tag is edited. well, i’m sure it’s not too hard to figure out, given the context. either way, my message remains)

And the best accommodation award for the 11/30 TC-FA-YB matchup goes to…

Sir William PD.9615:

Infractions! Infractions for you all!

I thought about reporting your post to see how long until you got your infraction but I don’t want to get an infraction for toying with the mods. Mods if you read this, would you mind lightening up?

(I’ll take my infraction off the air.)

edit: Though after reading some of the other server threads maybe some players need to take a chill pill (literally, those are some crazy mofos).

Haha. Two people I showed it to yesterday are going to buy the game today.

I showed it around work (I work on a military base) today and people loved it, I had prefaced it with “Hey, watch this.. you probably won’t care but..”

Everyone already thinks I’m insane so no worries there.

Hi Crystal Desert.

Welcome to thunderdome, kitten!

I, for one, love the drama between GODS and BLNT! Seriously. It’s very entertaining to me to hear the smack talk from both sides.

Seriously; if you can’t have made up enemies in an online war game, what’s the point? Some where in my inventory is a ‘rabbit finisher’ for wvw. I’ve never used it. But what purpose can it serve other than mocking of the other guy?

The game has a pitiful number of emotes. They took out the ability to express oneself to the other side with /me. Can we not talk the smack here? Half the fun of playing Halo with my kids is listening to them taunt me. So make with the taunting already and lets get ready to let loose the dogs of war tonight!

i just wish we could /flex

“Invader makes strange gestures.”

How about this: let me unlock it with badges.

Say for 1000 badges or something I can get some sort of “Field Notoriety Award” that will allow me to show my name to other players.

Would that be okay with all of the hurt-feelings crowd?

Jaldy.6285:

We could totally let YB have TC’s battleground, their own battleground, and take over FA’s battleground! Yeah!

I propose a TC FA alliance. The purpose of our pact will be to not attack Yaks Bend for at least the duration of the next match.

I also am with the OP. I met some cool people this way. Now I have no way of giving props to enemy skirmishers unless I recognize them somehow anyways.

Not a day goes by where I don’t think about making a guild with my characters name in it so people can see whos killing them (or who they’re killing).

Edelweiss.3206:

Can we please get a new post about how TC is teaming up with ‘x’ so we can get a jump on the reset QQ?

Nice first post. Looks like you have the QQ covered.

(Good thing too. Totally out on my end.)

Arcadio.6875:

Can we get regular updates? I gotta take my dad to surgery so I won’t be on until reset. Really want to see if the Yaks can close the gap.

Not online atm but 30 mins ago we had taken everything back from them. I don’t think they can do it.

Love your videos as always Quenta. This one leaves tears in my eyes. lol

I got an extra chest and already had my items from the event. Thanks for the extra 20 slot box I guess?

EgonVenkman.1907:

Sir William PD.9615:

So my post calling it a lame tactic was removed for being an infraction…double you tea eff.

In all my years of gaming, I have NEVER seen a more moderated forum. It’s worse than IGN back in the late 90’s.

I’ll patiently await my infraction notice.

Agreed. Anet is overzealous and random in their moderation efforts.

More likely, you hit a sore spot with a particular moderator. The mod uses that tactic, so you get modded for making them mad.

They don’t seem to use a consistent set of rules, with some fairly personal attacks/offensive language allowed, and the simple mention of a sore spot (ascended gear anyone) gets moderated to oblivion.

I’m convinced there’s some sort of lottery system handing out infractions. lol

And I agree with Daedalus. Can’t wait for the next matchup.

Static.9841:

I dont’ think you people understand what’s being said to you, I also don’t get what’s so difficult to grasp for you, but keep trucking with your ignorance. I don’t care one whit if you keep attacking TC, we’ve trashed you 3 weeks running, you think we care? You actually think I want you to stop attacking TC? lolworthy.

No need to get so worked up. If I don’t understand what you’re trying to say maybe you should try to communicate your message in a different way. Saying “you think we care? you think we care!?” didn’t tell me much if you were trying to make an actual point.

If you really try to convince me that having fun without stressing about the overall score is wrong or ignorant then I apologize because I’ll never understand that.

What if there was a big constantly persistent map that ANY server could join and fight for territory? Make it Guild vs Guild with Alliances between guilds.

Kinda like a GW2 version of EVE’s nullsec.

EgonVenkman.1907:

Stonesolid.2706:

Melpomene.2367:

Don’t tell me to stop. Some people have no choice but to do the puzzle for the badges for legendary weapons. Player operated traps only work if you are AHEAD of everyone. I don’t understand why people camp the puzzle except to troll people. Majority of people that even do the puzzle is for badges so I don’t see the point except wasting your servers time and numbers.

You always have the choice not to get a Legendary weapon. You don’t sound very “Legendary” anyways.

“Legendary”? Not being a soulbound/account bound item, Legendary is as simple as dropping gold in the TP.

Even so, what about the entire process of getting the legendary is truly legendary instead of Grind X objects or Play the Mystic Forge Lotto. No great personal quest. No Dynamic Event chains. No Defeat all Bosses?

Your arrogant attitude needs readjusted. Or the requirements for Legendary. Probably both.

I agree, the Legendary items aren’t really “legendary” in any real sense.. but you’re trying to say that the Legendary requirements aren’t enough to consider the weapon “Legendary” and we should make the requirements easier? I really don’t think it makes much focus or dedication to get any part of it and complaining about the requirements (which you say are trivial) and asking them to be reduced further just seems counter to the whole point of calling it “Legendary”.

Hell, add more to them or make them so trivial everyone can easily get one. I still won’t get one nor will care. I make my own legends (and definitely not by complaining about people killing me in PvP).

Also (not to say I’m not arrogant because I am) what does my arrogance have to do with anything? If I see one guy complain about not being able to do something the next 3 guys say is “too easy” what do you expect me to think? Sorry for pointing out the obvious?

Also yay I’m home from work.. time to get ready for my bloodbath!

PS. I’m trying to start battlefield drama stop trying to start arguments about stupid stuff.

Static.9841:

Melpomene.2367:

Some people in this game make me shake my head.

Mine too, people fighting in a PvP area? Blows my mind….

Honestly, you people either need to stop doing the JP or quit complaining. There are player operated traps for a reason.

Cogbyrn.7283:

Let’s end the argument here, because it’s both poisonous and going nowhere. There isn’t a single thing you can say to convince me to be something else, and my attempts to explain my side have failed.

My hammer and greatsword will be more than happy to provide future responses in-game.

Really? Is this the fiber of the average FA player? I try to encourage you to stay in the tier, give you kudos for the first 2 weeks and I’m poisoning? That’s some serious chip on your shoulder. Whatever, enjoy T4.

As for hammr and greatsword, Yeah I think your only response would be silence in a 1v1….

We can only hope the average player has the awesome mental attitude that Cog brings to the battlefield. What is so hard to understand about playing to have fun without worrying about the (illusionary) consequences?

You don’t understand our spirit of competition. You can not try to talk us into not attacking TC. It’s not an option. If we see strong opponents on the battlefield we will gun for them no matter what (we can’t help it – we racka disciprine). We will take the biggest threat on the map, draw them out, murder them, and eat their souls. The stronger the opponents the tastier the souls (that’s how it works). Plus, my blades are always begging me for blood! They’re insatiable and I don’t like giving ’em mine so I have to keep them fed with the likes of you.

That being said I’ve had some great fights this week but I haven’t been out as much as I’d have liked. Hopefully work stays quiet and I can slip out and start smashing skulls early. Also props to those working on maintaining territory during our off-peak hours – you guys are awesome!

Also I apologize to anyone who had a glowy purple Mesmer /dance on their corpse. I was just screwing around any time we were in the same spot for more than a few seconds without anyone to kill. It wasn’t intended to be malicious or anything. Also start heeding my /beckons and start attacking me when I call out to you guys. I swear it’s not a trap at all!

BillFreist.1527:

Interesting. It looks like the Trait “Electric Discharge” is the cause of this. It causes you to attack your target when attuning to Air if you have it slotted. It still fires off the Auto-Attack functionality because Air Attunement is still being considered as a skill that attacks a target (regardless of actually attacking or not).

I’ll take a look at this tomorrow and see what I can come up with. Sorry that nobody has responded to this bug sooner!

I think I have a better understanding of the bug thanks to the person above me. Comments withdrawn.

KrisHQ.4719:

Someone else might have posted this, but i actually found a fix for the bug!
It used to happen to me in basically every larger fight, and i had to shut down GW2 to fix the problem.
However, this is how i fixed the bug:

1. In the Gw2 options menu i turned down the “Sound Quality” to “Fastest”
2. I turned up the “Mixing Buffer Size” to “Most Stable”

This has fixed the problem for me, and im no longer experiencing the problem. I hope this can help some of you out there, as well as help Anet in isolating the problem!

Just changing the quality slider all the way to “fastest” has fixed the issue for myself and some guildmates. Hopefully there’s a full fix soon so I can get my sounds back without having to worry about air raids.

edit: Best part of this bug is that it still happens even if you disable in game sound.

xxxzavulonxxx.8413:

Cogbyrn.7283:

I honestly don’t know why the name of the server matters.

Do you want a balanced match? These matches are balanced based on a rating system that determines performance based on the ratings of those you face. We are matched together because we are more balanced together. Those above/below us aren’t in our bracket because they’d be a breeze/impossible.

Not sure why the text matters. Go out and have fun fighting competitive fights.

Ratings =/= balance. DUCY?

No. I don’t see why. Now that the ratings are (semi)correct were in a much more balanced matchup. We aren’t dominating the entire map for most of the day and neither is any other server. We actually have competition and contention over the overall scores not to mention tons of great fights day after day.

Explain to me how the ratings don’t balance matches.

Kuddlekins.6407:

If you complete all of the objectives in a story area a small little door icon should appear above your mini-map. Sometimes the star showing the exit doesn’t draw on the mini-map (not sure why). The door icon, when clicked, should pull you out of the instance regardless of where you are.

This is a long time bug where you can get stuck in instances that have nothing to do with story or dungeons. There’s no exit area (the doors don’t popup context menus) and the exit button on the minimap is not there. I’ve had problems with almost every instance in DR and a few in Hoelbrak.

The waypoints also cost money because inside of the instances for some reason it doesn’t count you as being inside of the city.

It won’t. It will keep the infusion slot unless you transmute exotic stats onto it. Also if you haven’t infused it you won’t be able to if you transmute it.

shagworth.5017:

Because it’s a PvP area.

Seriously, what’s so hard to understand.

The real question is why SHOULDN’T you kill enemy jumpers?

I like it better now. I don’t call the matchups “stale” at all. I call them balanced.

I’m actually enjoying the budding rivalries between guilds on each of our servers. I don’t know if it’s true or not but rumors are that TC has even put out bounties on enemy heads.

So we’re finally in a balanced, competitive, and stable matchup and people start to complain…

I thought this is what we wanted since everyone was complaining about server transfers borking the rankings in the first place?

What you call “stale” I call balanced. Any time FA dropped back into T4 we completely dominated and we aren’t ready for T2. This is our place to improve.

Garreth MacLeod.4158:

Thank goodness sports teams/organizations don’t use the Glicko rating system. Imagine if you always got to watch the same two football/basketball/baseball/soccer teams playing every single time. Wouldn’t that be exciting. hehe

Yeah and round robin WvW would be so much more fun. /sarcasm

Tallis.5607:

Maniac.5163:

We wiped our borderlands blue with a 10-15 man crew after TC either got bored or realised how much territory they had sacrificed for our garrison and withdrew the majority of their forces.

Well, as one of the TC players that was there, I can tell you that our determination to take your garrison was partly caused by the FA-whining-post here on the forums and partly by the many complaints in our chat about FA-corpse-dancing.

We knew fully well that taking the garrison while Yak was around would cost us more points that it gained, but several people literally said stuff like ‘better to take stuff from FA and loose to Yak, then let FA keep their stuff’.

That’s what happens when you are rude to others…

Sounds petty to me.

/beckon

Bring it on. I’ll be cleaning pieces of you dirty roleplayers off my blade for months.

It’s silly to lump everyone in with the few kitten actually doing this stuff. If you want to play the blame game I’ve had groups of TCers (and people from every other server we’ve ever faced) spam emotes on my dead body and I honestly thought it was funny and a sometimes a point of pride.

I don’t personally dance on corpses unless they’re spies or just hanging around too long, but I will very often /dance and /beckon to passersby and /bow to anyone who fights me in earnest. Does that make you angry as well?

Oh and I don’t care if you’re an enemy or not, if you fall/jump/let me throw you off of a cliffside I will more often than not /laugh at you in game. That’s because I actually laughed out loud in real life watching you jump/fly/roll over the edge to your death.

Ultravalefor.5038:

I actually prefer my enemies to be anonymous. I don’t want to spend time thinking “oh hey, it’s that guild tag, those guys are rather reasonable on forums, maybe I shouldn’t attack that upscaled guy he’s just traveling after all, maybe he’s here for map completion…”

Better if you are one nameless entity—invader scum to be scrubbed off the property of Tarnished Coast, granted to us by the Most Holy Golem God.

I don’t care about you. Like Cog said it’s for accountability. I want to know who all these supposed FA crybabies are so I can call them out and tell them to shut up. I think we’re in a great place and I’d love it if we stayed in this matchup for a long while.

And honestly you can’t expect to be taken seriously hiding behind the illusion of anonymity. There’s no reason for it in the first place. Do you fear people linking your opinions to your identity? It’s not about being best buds with your enemy on the battlefield – it’s about properly representing yourself off of it.

The camera aims your shots. Imagine a crosshair in the center of the screen or take a look at Combat Mod. I have the same issue a lot of times trying to manage targets and the camera.

The response issues could use some work.

Just started happening to me today. Three times in a row and I shut down the client for the night. I’ll try the workaround and see if that works.

And darn, that “WooWoo” is LOUD – my ears are still ringing!

Karykarywook.2481:

I wanted to make a post from an “outsiders” POV from FA. I’m in a tiny guild and a casual player, I’ve never joined a squad in WvW, although I love WvW immensely (I love large scale pvp, I’ve not even stepped foot in sPVP).

As someone pointed out earlier, FA is beginning to be labeled as the “bad guys”, I’m guessing upon the justification that we are often getting team-upped against, whether it be intentional or not intentional (honestly, most people on FA does not believe its intentional, even if I have seen situations with my own eyes that really seemed to be purposefully set up)

But I want to clear up this idea that we’re the “bad guys”. As an outsider, I often just randomly team up with various commanders or various zerg groups. I don’t have enough guildmates to often go out and do our own thing.

These commanders are not only genuinely nice, they’re not pricks, and they are helpful without being condescending. They’re usually the first to help rez downed players and to set up siege.

Theres not much of other-side bashing either in chat, beyond jokes of “Tarnished Bend or Yaks Coast”. Chat is usually reserved for those passing information or commands from commanders. Sometimes friendly banter, often from me, I like to get to know my server-mates.

I’m not saying we’re any better than another server, but painting us as “bad guys” is false and makes me feel bad for people who genuinely try to help our server.

And whether or not there is any truth to purposeful 2v1, it really doesn’t matter now. Its even apparent on this thread that there is bit of a lovefest between Yaks and TC right in this thread alone. Theres nothing wrong with that, and my guess is if Yaks had an equal opportunity in attacking FA or TC, they will go after FA, and that just simply sucks for us.

And if you guys are going to do that, fine, but don’t do it with the assumption that we are jerks.

It’s really a friendly rivalry. Anyone with any feelings past that is just silly. Also, the 2v1 or whatever arguments are being beat to death by people who aren’t even from FA. TC and YB keep bringing it back up over and over for some reason even though tons of people from FA have posted to say there IS NO DOUBLE TEAMING going on. Look at the post below mine for a great example of this.

No one I know from FA thinks we are being double-teamed – not even a little bit. If they do, they are severely misinformed and obviously don’t play enough Dub-vee-Dub to understand the situations they’ve been in.

Same on FA. Seems sporadic but still enough to be annoyingly noticeable.

I’m okay with being the bad guys as long as we can keep up the absolutely amazing fights night after night. We’ve found a great place together as enemies in T3.

Bring it on TC you dirty roleplaying pirate carebears and YB you third-rate smelly dog-mule supply running beasts of burden.

So I made the mistake of turning my Symon’s History of Ascalon into the complete Mad Memoires for the look but I now realize I can’t infuse it with agony resistance for the later dungeons.

Is there any workaround for this? It makes me sad.

It has been broken since the start and still hasn’t been fixed. My head is about to explode. I use it on my Mesmer and consider it better than any Legendary I could’ve made. Please for the love of Tyria fix the overlapping distorted look.

I made it myself and it took a lot of friggin’ work so it wasn’t so much of a gold sink but I’d still like to be able to view it properly outside of a preview window. /sad
