In any game mode (hotjoin, teamq, solo, w/e) the team with more people can’t score any points until one person benches themself to spawn. Fixed.

Ran into a glass cannon thief last night in our BL. He was stupid enough to taunt 2 Rangers. I never did get my shot off, the wife was slightly ahead of me, one “Sic Em” and then Long Range Shot and the thief was dead, dead, dead. We take pride in our thief hunting abilities, especially since we can hear each other’s “Sic Ems” and time 2 of them in succession. Very few thieves will live through that.

Later as something totally hilarious we were at our southern camp and I was near the water/bridge when a thief stealthed in to backstab me! I just flipped into the water and the silly, silly thing was stupid enough to follow me in to get the kill, he wanted it so badly! Thief vs Ranger underwater? Guess who died?

Are you honestly trying to get us to believe that you 2v1’d somebody?

Did Living Story writers play Nightfall?

There was no alliance between centaurs and Kournans, only slavery. In fact, this was the entire plotline between centaurs and Kournans. So it is impossible to allude to it without talking about the slavery aspect.

While there have been problems communicating what is exposition and what is NPC perspectives in the past, this is a clear-cut example of the latter. Why would Varesh admit to slavery herself?

Those are the words of Ossa, not the developers.

Bobby Stein said last week that the words of the developers are ‘malleable’ ie ‘subject to change’ ie ‘unreliable’.

This is a barefaced lie.

Any sources of lore not in the game Guild Wars 2 are ‘malleable’. This includes the words of the developers in their interviews, the short stories, the novels and even the game Guild Wars itself. Just saying it is a lie does not make it so, unfortunately for us.

How do you suppose WvW players will see the difference between a guardianand an ele to focus someone?

I’m not sure this is a valid argument. Under the new system everyone could be fighting while wearing hotpants or the pirate outfit, no?

B: Scarlet attacked in a manner NOBODY EXPECTED (leadership wise). A massive air attack by airships hasn’t been done before (toward ground targets).

Nobody expected it?

A bunch of sky-pirates whose signature move is attacking with airships attack the city twice. The first time they assassinate one of the Captain’s Council and the second time is 6 months later to break the assassin out of jail.

These sky pirates had a secret base in LA that was discovered. They have one just outside LA too.

So nobody expected these airship pirates to attack LA after they had attacked it repeatedly?

“Yeah, these pirate guys use airships but they’ve not used them yet so they probably won’t in the future.”

Brilliant.

Can we please vendor bloodstone?

They told us specifically not to delete blade shards but no such thing has been said on bloodstone dust all these months later. It’s safe to throw piles of bloodstone in the trash.

Will there be guild halls/islands in future?

We have revealed previously that someday, there will be Guild Halls in the game yes.

I hope it is in the massive feature patch on Tuesday. Can’t wait!

Who wrote the code for all these p2win walls in the Chinese client?

Was it the publisher or was it Anet?

Will you be retroactively rewarding people that have grown sick of this and given up on this update with their achievements and champ bags?

Also, for those that might come back once things are fixed in terms of rewards, achievements and actual game stability will you be extending this final chapter of the Living Story?

Even though she said she solo’d Tequatl. Are Anet not learning with this ’NPC’s taking the credit thing’?

With all due respect, OP the lead writer has been writing for just about 20 years going by her own words. There is no way she would come out with something so very trite and amateurish.

However, I do see your logic with regards to those sources you can’t cite (Rox being utterly subservient to Rytlock for perhaps the flimsiest of reasons). I just figured that this was in a similar vein to how everyone worships Trahearne in the personal story.

TLDR: Anet would never do something this bad.

Edit: They only went and did something that bad. Hats off to you OP. Naughty corner for Anet writing team.

Thanks for posting this. Just spent an hour looking myself.

Bring on the monthly fee

To all the guys sticking up for the monthly fee, why don’t you just spend lots of money on the Gem store?

The big advertisement on the box is that this game has no sub fee. When they put a sub fee in they are going to lose millions in refunds.

Stability stomps also do nothing against those teleporting thief corpses as thay spam knives that cripple and hurt a lot coupled with odd lightning proc for 3k.

Thieves are firing lightning while downed now? Why don’t you play one, see what they can do while downed so that you won’t be coming to this forum walking the dinosaur with pockets full of spaghetti?

I never look at the scoreboard (the only score that matters is the one easily visible at the top of the screen) and I get stuck in loading on Forest of Niflhel (only) anytime that I die there.

BLTP broken and SPVP broken.

I suppose they don’t really want people playing.
