Don't understand how Guns/Tanks fit in this game.

We know the potential of steam to produce work (the mechanical definition of work) was discovered by the ancient greek. Unfortunately, at this moment I can’t remember the name of the man who discovered it.

He was Hero of Alexandria.

2 theories on the sylvari

in Lore

Sylvari are the mean chosen by the Pale Tree to fight the Dragons, so they are surely a defensive mechanism. Like a gall or a resin drop, just “slightly” more sophisticated.

I think they are not true “seeds” (because we don’t see other Pale Trees germinating from their graves) , but they could be spore carriers. The “mushroom cap” is the first hint. And IIRC, it is said that they “smell good”, so they could scatter spores or pollen.

Alternatively, the reproduction system of the Tree could be something not yet seen (maybe something as simple as seeds created from flowers, like in RL).

My only multi-key macro on my Logitech G13 gameboard is “hide UI – take screenshot – enable UI”.
It does not offer any game advantage so I am confident it is allowed without problems.

Also, automatic emotes for RP purposes seem harmless enough.

I would add that their shape has been decided by the Pale Tree exactly because they need to interact with other humanoid races.
Surely the Tree could have created giant tomatoes with five eyes and a bunch of tentacles, but probably the other races would have had some problems in getting along with them.

I’m gonna admit to being in the even smaller minority than people without smart phones and ask: Is there any way to get this on my Blackberry?

AFAIK, the Google Authenticator is available for Blackberry too, as long as the device has an internet connection. You can find more info here: http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1066447

Feedback: Mobile Two-Factor Authentication

If you use Keepass Password Safe as password manager (free, open source and full of awesome features), please note that there is a plugin named KeeOtp which automatizes the use of a OTP key. It also uses a custom placeholder for auto-typing the key.

It is RFC6238 compliant so it should work perfectly with GW2.

Thank god that is not true.

Actually this IS true: ArenaNet is wholly owned by NcSoft.

Yet there is a difference between “a korean company” and “a company owned by Koreans”.

GW2 is not a “korean game”. It is a western game created by a company owned by Koreans. Subtle, but different.

I realize the mobile authenticator is in beta, so, Mike, please please PLEASE give an UNIQUE name to the account (for example: GW2:emailaddress).

Using only “emailaddress” as account name overwrites the Google Account already present, as pointed out by Carighan, forcing us to re-create it with all the single-application associated passwords.

Dropbox uses “Dropbox:emailaddress” as account name and it works very well.

I use a macro on my Logitech G13 gameboard exactly for this purpose: “hide UI – take screenshot – enable UI”.

It is actually my only multi-key macro and it does not offer any game advantage so I am confident it is allowed without problems.

Maybe you could set up something similar for your purposes. I know there are many macro managers around, even for non-dedicated hardware.
