John Smith.4610:

It’s me.

John Smith = The Doctor

The villain is the Doctor?

…

So the villain is me?

My strategy was to run around the pillars in the room, obstructs most enemy attacks, and made it pretty easy. Or you could just dps the kitten out of the enemies, that’s another way to do it.

Huh, so I figured out how to get it to run, I had to make it run on my integrated graphics card as opposed to my nvidia Geforce, which sucks because now it gets lesser performance.
Why did it run on Nvidia before, but not now?

Hello Everyone!
I haven’t logged onto GW2 in a while, but decided to play again today because of the expansion coming out soon. Anyways, I played maybe 10 minutes before I had to log off.

I came back a while later clicked the GW2 icon, entered username + password, pressed play, and… nothing, it closed the launcher, but no new window opened, nothing.

I tried my other account, still nothing. I even uninstalled and reinstalled, still doesn’t work. No crash message, no not responding message.

(Mechanically speaking, all friendly NPCs are weak, however tough they’re supposed to be in lore. Just look at how often Destiny’s Edge members end up chewing dirt in story dungeons. I don’t think it’s really representative of their power – it’s just that the AI can’t run a character limited to the same power as a PC with the same intelligence of a PC, and for gameplay reasons ArenaNet wants us to be doing the work rather than being the sidekicks of champion-level NPCs that do all the work. Lorewise, the Destiny’s Edge members at least are probably matches for most champions we go up against.)

Exactly. If they were actually as powerful as they were supposed to be, they’d Kormir us in Arah.

SPOILER:

hide spoiler

Kormir is now a verb.

Storywise, Ellen could probably solo a young Karka, just like anyone else. And get stomped by the full grown ones, just like anyone else. She’s clearly nowhere near Destiny’s Edge’s level of power, but is probably – storywise! – close to ours. Not equal, but close. Maybe 90%; we ARE dragonslayers, after all.

Gameplay-wise, she’s no stronger than any other Level 80 warrior NPC. Tough enough to distract enemies for a while, but no AI worth speaking of.

Wait, I can solo full grown karkas, does that make my toon really strong?

Hmm, I’m thinking a serious sounding name. He’s also a guy, so the name has to end with a consonant. I’m thinking for the title: Golemancer (Name)

I need help re-naming this little guy. Made it to lvl 80 + exotics + fractal backpiece + lots of kittening expensive stuff, then I realized I didn’t like his name. So I bought a name changer things at the beginning of the summer, then I realized….I have NO idea what to name him lol. Want something lore friendly, I tried the name generator, but none of the names pop out to me. Here he is….
Race: Asura, duh
Class: Elementalist

Icarus Pherae.4680:

Snaff died because the party healer DC’d just before the raid boss.

That, and Snaff didn’t Waypoint when he died, like, you’re fighting an ELDER DRAGON, you don’t wait for people to res you! And before everyone says you can’t wp while your party is in combat, this was pre-nerf.

zamalek.2154:

Achievement get: started a thread about SB.

Somehow TA could be tied up in a time-loop by the Thaumanova reactor, possibly by an undiscovered crystal deposit below it caused by the “pairing effect” (was it?). SB would be a mere phantom lost in time if we were to eventually kill her.

I think it’s called a twinning effect.

Mastruq.2463:

For the dragons a century is like a blink. We dealt with one of the three active ones, another is kept busy underground. Only Jormag would be a sensible “next target” if we puny mortals dare to be so arrogant. Better even to just deal with his incursion in the form sons of svanir for good and let industry advance to nuke level before we go deal with him (judging from our own world that’s only a few centuries away, with magi-tech probably faster – so get ready to assault Jormag with F16-lookalikes in 2014/15!!

Humor aside, the dragons are threats on a much grander timetable, vanquishing one per year would seem unbelievable. Imo it’s better to have some down-to-earth events and threats in between for a few years, and slowly sow seeds of information, rumors and later plot points to make the chapter of the next dragon fight more memorable. For example, the asura that helps you assault the risen vessel in the personal story and dies in the process would hit closer to home if you had known him throughout 2 years of living story, and not just 15 minutes before his death.

So you’re saying we have to wait a few centuries to fight the next one. I’d be happy with that, if it was actually a decent fight, unlike Zhaitan :P

Well, that’s good, because I’m bored, lets go through the gate!

But that’s what the Pale Tree tells us…I mean how much do we actually know about the Pale Tree :P
j/k btw

Thanathos.2063:

Got the same problem. The funny thing is, I did the way back in about 1/3 of the time I needed at the first try.
So – my own fault. What hast Anet to do with it?

Well…A-net kind of made the game, and something inside the game glitched, which kind of does make it their fault.

It’s not Rata Sum, read the dev post here https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/lore/The-Uncategorized-Fractal-is-Rata-Sum/first

As for the ascalonian fractal, it appears to be right before the whole foefire thing.
Edit: Didn’t take the time to read all the posts and saw that Konig beat me to the dev reply.

I would delete the human, reroll as asura.

Yeah, I read some of the Oola’s research, very interesting. I’m trying to figure out how much equipment it takes to transfer your soul into a golem. Didn’t see the thing about the apprentices though, time to pay another visit there to see what I can find!

MaesterTed.6571:

I hate to be that guy, but if you’re writing a fanfic, I feel like I should specifically point this out. It’s Primordus, not Primordius. Without the second I. You might wanna check and correct that in your story.

Thanks, I don’t mind people being that guy. More helpful than saying nothing.

Ok, thanks for the info. I’ll have to change a few things in my plot. And thanks for the link too. Just curious, isn’t reaching Eternal Alchemy pretty much every asuras goal?

Hi, I’m writing a fanfic and it’s centered around Asura stuff that happened a few years after they fled from Primordius. However, I’m having a hard time finding info about the Inquest for around that time. I just need to know why they were formed, and if they were always bad. Any info is welcome, thank you!

Lol, you’re on the same server as me, maybe I should find you and collect the bounty :P So there’s RP going on in our server? Didn’t know that. Currently I’m working on writing a backstory for my character, need to find out how much is canon before I publish though. I’ll post it when it’s finished.

No, I was saying it wasn’t hard to Drakkon’s post. The hardest part is getting the crystal.
I liked the rabbit place, I found it before but forgot where it was lol.

Ummm, Oola’s Lab is easy… nothing hard about it at all lol.

Cool, I was curious about what they looked like, gj on the chapter btw.

THE DOCTOR.3510:

Silvercyclone.1462:

I can’t believe nobody has actually figured it out yet. The only possibility is the most obvious one. SG-1 will pop into Divinitiy’s Reach through the asura gate. General O’Neill will mock everyone after Colonel Mitchell accidently shoots Jennah thinking shes a Goa’uld due to her mesmer magic, Jackson will be looking for artifacts trying to figure out what god is there, Colonel Carter will try to learn the asuran technology, Vala will hit on Logan and Anise to try to get at the royal treasure, and Teal’c wil do his eyebrow raising thing and say “indeed” a lot. Then all of them will go hunting for the 6 gods to free us from them.

You’re close, but I’m pretty sure that Jennah is Tokk’ra, so when they kill her, it starts a war between the Tokk’ra, Earth, and Tyria. Then they’re going to announce a new show called “Stargate Tyria”

Queen Jenna will be the next assistant to the doctor ;O

u guys know who..

I think Carter would be a better assistant. Maybe Apophis somehow survived and is inside Trahearne, and then the human gods are the Ori, and they’re trying to open a rift in time and space. The Doctor will see it on his timey-wimey detector and fly the Tardis into it and end up in Tyria.

I doubt that because the people that go to the tower don’t come back, and I think he would go back to tell Zojja. He doesn’t seem like he would just leave her.

Waypoints aren’t ancient god statues… unless you mean that’s what they used before the waypoints. That would make your comment completely logical, and mine, well, pointless. I think Snaff might’ve not brought exotics either, just kept the rare stats on his cultural armor. Maybe there wasn’t transmutation stones or something.

So far every tier of cultural armor is rare, just increases in level. So probably not.

What I don’t get is, Snaff died before they nerfed waypoints, so why didn’t he just res and run back to help? :P

I think the smartest thing to do would be to let us change our mf armor to the stats that we choose (out of existing stat combos of course)

I think it would be cooler if Guardians used Longbows, Arrows of Light, or something like that. And I would love to see Elementalists be able to use swords.

Points and laughs as a Charr

Har Har Har! You little peons are BUTT PLUGS to us mighty Charr!
I have to be careful where I sit else you may vanish forever!

When I find your “eternal alchemy” mumbo jumbo annoying to my ears, I put a cup over you and then there is silence!

My pillow is your entire bed!

My toilet is your bathtub!

If I was to be carnivorous upon your race, you’d only be classified as finger food! Appetizers! CHICKEN POPPERS!

I don’t need a gatorade to cross a bridge!

I don’t need grapple hooks to climb a flight of stairs!

Falling off my chair is not classified as a deadly drop!

Har Har Har! That is why you Asura have such big ears and live underground! So we have something to grab hold of, when we pull you up and out like a turnip!

Har Har Harrr!

Well, you won’t be laughing when I send an army of golems to you.

I think it’s Rata Sum, I’m just wondering, what makes you think it was Mordremoth? It could be Inquest, a haywire golem, etc

I think have a few respawning veterans throughout it, but make it an open-world zone. Yesterday after I finished CM explore and everyone left my part I wandered around inside, would’ve been nicer to have some people there, with a few easy enemies. The dungeons are really cool places that they put a lot of detail into, but no-one really looks at it.

First MMO, controls were no problem, right from the beginning.

I still want Zojja though

They could even make a fractal of where the other Pale Tree is.

People would still finish their story so it wouldn’t be blocking the top-right corner of their screen

havoc.6814:

Wow, every post argueing in favor of portals in this thread is being posted by mesmers. Those mesmers are immediately and vociferously attacking anyone who posts in support of my OP. I think this is very telling. I think that you know that portals are breaking the game and trivializing content. I think you know that you are wrong. I think that is why you are so aggressive. I think you just want to have your liscence to steal at any cost.

Apparently helping people in jps via portal is aggresive, you also have to remember, IT’S JUST A GAME, the mesmers aren’t taking advantage of people, they’re helping. (I can do jps no problem so it doesn’t effect me if they’re taken away)
Also, when you’re in WvW and use a mesmer to portal people in a fort, it’s hard, you can’t be detected, if you can’t find a mesmer in a fort, you aren’t looking hard enough.

I just walk straight through them lol, I have good condition removal so it doesn’t bother me. It is annoying when I’m not playing my ele though, even the .5 second delay would be fine.

I would like that too.

I say permanent bans, but that’s just me

Delete Mesmer, reroll as engi, problem solved

danbuter.2314:

Add in skritt, TENGU, and kodan as player races.

You forgot the Tengu

The Canthan District was evacuated, so no people died. I’m not sure about living Orrians though, they would be a lot different than their ancestors.

Cool, gonna go read it now

Good idea, I want some new fractals, having the living story dungeons would be nice, but having something original would be better.

Or use their “Excessive Messaging,” and change it to “Excessive Dueling,” can only ask for five duels per minute.

Oh ok, what you said makes sense, I was just wondering if you somehow knew the way their program thing works.
