Guild Wars 2

I actually prefer the ambrite weapons, and would rather collect them. I love the warm tones and the bugs. As for the leyline set, I do have the warhorn, but I don’t have any real desire to get any more of them. They look like glowy pieces of limestone, and if that appeals to you, great, but I personally don’t care for them.

In the French forum, a player (Kaizok.7839) said this:

According to a book found in the cave where there is the line of force, ghosts are made of magic can serve as a source of food for the dragons. That would explain that Rytlock releases Ascalon to prevent Mordremoth absorb ghosts Ascalonians!

I think you may be right here. Certainly, there are so many ghosts, including some very powerful ones, that they’d be a buffet for Mordremoth. It’s also possible it took this long for Magdaer to be reforged, which would be necessary to end the curse. Either way, I’m super excited and can’t wait to see where they go with this!

The Nomad’s inscription recipe is 50 geodes. All the ambrite weapons require it. I finally got Scorpiones. I really want the whole set though. I’m not sure how I’m going to manage that much luck and grind. My advice? Get the recipes FIRST, since they require a t4/5 zone. The bugs are just luck, and not tied to tier, so you could get those any time in the future.

Belinda just felt like a temporary character. I was not surprised she was killed off, and I don’t think there’s enough investment in her to bring her back. Not that Jory couldn’t try, who knows?

I went ahead and got the warhorn. I’m honestly more interested in the ambrite weapons, though I’m not looking forward to the grind to get them.

I’d be okay with a separate achievement, but yeah, more than just treants should count for plant slayer, in my opinion.

Shouldn’t the Mordrem and jungle tendrils count as plants for the plant slayer achievement? (They currently do not, much to my annoyance.) And if not, WHY not? As it stands, only oakhearts and such count. If it’s going to stay that way, may I suggest renaming it TREE slayer?

Could be sabotage. We know the inquest have volatile, portable explosives that would do the trick. With all the comings and goings with the Bazaar, it wouldn’t be too difficult for an Inquest saboteur to place such a device in with the Sanctum’s cargo.

Fire. The Sanctum is made of wood, so any incendiary device could take it out very quickly.

I’ve always theorized that Glint reproduced via parthenogenesis, essentially producing ‘clones’ of herself without a mate. This is common in some reptiles, and is the only method of reproduction for a few species. As for why the Zephyrites would take Glint’s offspring with them, keeping it on the move would probably be safer than keeping it in one place, as Kralkatorrik would certainly destroy it if he’s aware of it and can find it.

I second this! I spent through the nose to get the CE, and while I love my Rytlock statue, I’d like to show off in game too!

Fluffy, it’d probably help you find the right guild if you mention what server you’re on and what you’re looking for in a guild (WvW/PvP/PvE? Size?).

That’s an interesting glitch then. Oh well, I got some good screenshots out of it!

Here’s what everyone else saw:

In the Sylvari starter instance (the Dream), you have to defeat the ‘shadow of the dragon’ to continue. The Pale Tree talks later about your character fighting Zhaitan, but the dragon in the dream looks nothing like one of Zhaitan’s minions. He summons nightmare hounds, and his appearance seems to indicate that he is a servant of Mordremoth, not Zhaitan.

I was running around Caledon Forest with a new Sylvari character when I saw the dragon again in Arias’ garden in Ogham Wilds. The other players with me didn’t see the dragon, but did see an eerie fog and heard the dragon. When I switched to a different character, I saw the fog and not the dragon as well. Hints about LS2, or a glitch? Has anyone else encountered this dragon here?

Hi charliedog,
I’m the leader of the Guild of the Blade and Rose. We’re a small guild trying to rebuild and grow. We have a handful of other players on DR (including one of our officers). We pride ourselves on having a family-like atmosphere, and helping each other is the name of our game. Check out our website at blade-and-rose.enjin.com for more info, and you can contact me either here on the forums or in-game. I look forward to hearing from you!

Odds of a new race or class are very, very low. I imagine we’ll see some new maps in the Maguuma, but that may not come right on July 1st.

Showing all waypoints as contested was a NIGHTMARE for anyone trying to go anywhere in Orr. Since almost every waypoint there can be contested, getting where you wanted to go often meant using one waypoint on the other side of the zone and then once there having to use ANOTHER one to get to the right place. Nobody wants to pay twice to get where they’re going.

Come to the AMD side….we have cookies, and our processors are so much cheaper…>.>

They also have pitiful single core performance making GW2 borderline unplayable on Teq/Wurm/WvW or even cities.

I’m running an AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Processor (3.4 GHz) that I got in 2011…and it runs everything just fine, including all of those.

That exact same processor overclocked to 4 GHz used to give me drops to 15fps on WvW/Tequalt before upgrading to 4670K (same 290x, same SSD).

Are you running character model limit/quality on low or something?

No, my graphics settings are all towards the higher end. I do get some framerate drops if there are too many players around (For a full Teq group or a WvW mega-zerg, not in cities; down to 8-15), but I blame my aging video card for that, not the CPU.

Very nice! Love your cosplay outfit too!

Yes, please! That’s our main way to coordinate.

Hi Tetraethyl,

I’m the leader of the Guild of the Blade and Rose. We’re nominally based on Stormbluff Isle, but we’re recruiting from all servers. We’re an equal-opportunity/non-discriminatory guild. Two of our past leaders are gay, and one of our current officers is trans, so it’s not just something we say! We take players of all skill levels and activity levels. We’re not the largest guild, but we’re in the process of rebuilding and we’re looking to maintain our close-knit, family-like atmosphere. You sound like you’d be a good fit in [BaR]! Our guild rules and history are available on our website (blade-and-rose.enjin.com). If you’d like to join us, you can contact me either here on the forums or in-game. I look forward to hearing from you!

Worth mentioning that you can also get the makeover kits from BL chests. I’ve got 2 of the hair kits and one full makeover kit from chests with keys I got in game, and that’s just in the past two weeks. I’m actually fairly happy with the hair on my four Charr females. Each one has a different style; it’s just a matter of finding something that fits your character.

I have a friend on Blackgate who’s in [DEAD]. I don’t know much about the guild, but she plays off and on, and does WvW and PvE, so if it’s a match for her, it might be good for you too. Hope this helps!

I think the female Charr gets the short stick for EVERYTHING. It appears to me that the devs only make one version of armor for Charr, and it’s designed on the male model. The problem is that the two genders do NOT have identical models, and thus the female gets stuck with tail clipping and floating shoulders. And this is on top of the fact that Charr in general get the least consideration for armor design: helms that hide horns or clip, boots that all look the same, etc.

I’ve got the same problem. Even applying the skin won’t unlock it.

GW1’s player base was an almost even split, about 60/40. GW2 is probably similar. Just because YOU don’t know any women who play, doesn’t mean there aren’t any. Don’t make such dated and sexist assumptions.

I think the problem isn’t that there’s not enough skimpy or non-skimpy armor (at least for heavy and light), but that there isn’t enough variety of either type. I’d like to see something like the ele’s FoW armor for a non-skimpy light armor, and I’d like to see something like the skirted assassin armors from GW1 for skimpy medium armor. As it is, if you want skimpy you get a short skirt, if you want non-skimpy, you get a trenchcoat. And medium armor suffers most from lack of variety. There are only two skimpy medium armors that come to mind: Order of Whispers armor, and human cultural t3.

I don’t know about Seafarer’s Rest, but the two big Teq guilds I know of are [TTS] and [Att]. Hope that helps!

Hi Kirito! I’m guessing you must be a fan of Sword Art Online. I’m the leader of the Guild of the Blade and Rose. We’re mostly PvE-based but we’re looking to get more into WvW and PvP. We’re a small guild trying to rebuild after a prolonged period of inactivity. We are largely based on Stormbluff Isle, but we’re recruiting players from all servers, thanks to those big, shiny new megaservers. You can read our rules and guild history on our website (blade-and-rose.enjin.com) and if you want to give us a go, you can PM me either on here or in-game!

Hi coulow, I’m the leader of the Guild of the Blade and Rose! We’re a mostly PvE guild based on Stormbluff Isle and we’re always looking for new people! We’re a small guild trying to rebuild after a prolonged period of inactivity. We’ve got players of all skill levels, from those new to the game to hardened veterans. We always understand that RL comes first, so work obligations are not a problem. You can read our rules and guild history on our website (blade-and-rose.enjin.com), and if you want to give us a try, you can PM me either here on the forums or in-game!

Sounds like you guys would be a great fit for the Guild of the Blade and Rose!

We’re a fairly small guild (50 members including inactives) trying to rebuild after a period of inactivity. We’ve long prided ourselves on our family-like atmosphere, and we do not have a rep requirement for our members. We have members of all skill levels, including several who have just started the game within the past two months. We are largely based on Stormbluff Isle, but we are recruiting from all servers, and I personally keep all the contents of our guild bank listed on our forum so that our members of all servers can access it.

You can check out our website for the guild’s rules and full history (blade-and-rose.enjin.com) and you can contact me either through the forum or in-game. I look forward to hearing from you!

We have opened our recruitment to players of ALL servers. While we are largely based on SBI, megaservers make it easy for us to play with everyone and we see no reason to limit our friends based on server! The contents of our guild bank are kept on our forum so that all our members can access it regardless of whether or not they happen to be on SBI.

We’re an equal opportunity guild and we do not discriminate based on age, gender, sex, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, creed, political affiliation, abledness, or any other stupid, arbitrary qualification by which people discriminate against each other.

Hi, Danikat, I’m the leader of the Guild of the Blade and Rose. We’re a fairly small guild, and we’re looking to rebuild after a prolonged period of inactivity. We’re mostly US-based but we have a number of EU players as well (one of whom is on Desolation as well). We’ve always been focused on making our guild like a family for our members, so we generally stay low on the drama and are pretty understanding of RL commitments that our members have. We’re not a big guild (50 members, including a lot of inactives), and we might not be what you’re looking for, but if you’re willing to give us a shot, we’d be happy to have you. You can find more information on our website (blade-and-rose.enjin.com) or you can PM me in-game.

I’ve seen a LOT of people RPing at the Serrated Blade in the Black Citadel, literally EVERY time I’m there. It might just be your megaserver that doesn’t have a lot of RP’ers.

Bellyboomer.3048:

It’s just wishful thinking, but I hope that this year, there will be more hints towards Glints child being discovered and protected by the Zephyrites. I recently rewatched WP’s guild wars mysteries and this was a real possibility back when the Sactum first landed:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgFdfuuRkRg

This could be a long-term mystery, or Mister Morde could already send a champion to hunt the uncorrupted dragon down. Who knows, mere speculation.

That would be awesome. My personal theory is that Glint purposefully sacrificed herself in her collaboration with Destiny’s Edge in order to get Kralkatorrik from finding Glint II (my name for Glint’s offspring; because we do not know of Glint finding a mate, it is likely she reproduced by parthenogenesis, and thus Glint’s offspring is a clone of herself). Think about it: her actions in Edge of Destiny seemed a little out of character for her; Glint rarely does anything directly, preferring to pull strings and work from the shadows. Glint II had over two centuries to absorb all of Glint’s knowledge and power. She will certainly be a force to be reckoned with if and when she chooses to reveal herself.

Just wanted to say I actually love GW2’s voice acting overall. Yes, there are a few characters who could’ve used some work (really just Mira), but the overall quality is pretty high. I see that a lot of people complaining are comparing it to TOR, which does have pretty good VOs, but those are not the norm for the genre. Those of us who played GW1 are very, very grateful for the work ANet has put in.

Where GW2 shines is in the sheer AMOUNT of VOs present in the game. Most other games I have played do not have anywhere near the volume of voiced content that GW2 has. STO, my other MMO of choice, has at time laughably poor VOs, and the player character has NO voice AT ALL. So, appreciate what you have, people, it could be so much worse.

Risen General Azuldin (from the lvl 72 personal story instance, Temple of the Forgotten God) needs post-processing effects for that ‘risen’ voice. As it is now, he sounds amusingly NOT undead.

So….basically, instead of exploring on your own and finding things out within the game, you want Anet to puke out pre-digested lore ‘books’ for you to read because you’re too lazy to go out and look for it yourself?

I like it. And Algreg, it prevents your chat from being clogged with those 6+ lines of whisper spam.

There’s a program out there called HDD Regenerator which can restore corrupted hard drives. The caveat though, is that it takes a very long time to run. I have used it in the past and it really can work wonders, so if you haven’t backed up your drive/can’t afford a new one, it’s worth a shot.

In combination with your account name it’s not that bad :-) 7/10

My Charr Engineer: Ratchet Ironwrench

9/10 Very engineer-y!

My Charr ranger is Tamiut Fireshot.

For those wondering, Tamiut is ancient Egyptian for ‘kitty’.

Yeah, or we should be able to replay the PS. I actually bought an extra character slot when they were on sale to get all the class-specific starter items and some of the other skins; that really shouldn’t be required of everyone.

My husband has the wireless Razer Naga Epic (I have the wired version). It has about 14 buttons, but I don’t think it’s really that many. I use 1-10 for skills and one of the extra buttons for push-to-talk on Team Speak. Instead of having batteries, you plug it in when it needs to charge (and can use it wired that way).
