Welp, not sure how feasible it is, but if the player on a carpet is treated as a transformed new object, it might be possible. I know that if you’re transformed into, for example, the snow leopard in the Wayfarer Foothills heart, you can actually glide as that, without the glider itself appearing. As I can be quite childish, I find it endlessly funny. XD Also I was a golem the other day (don’t remember why), and that did gliding without the glider appearing. It was quite cool.
Regardless, I agree with Rose – some sort of paid upgrade, or a new purchase would likely be necessary if this was to be a thing.
If they did it it would need to be an in game earned option as the toy would remove the opportunity cost for traiting for permanent swiftness. It would be a bad idea to put that in the gem store.
Well, that’s food for thought, but we’re discussing gliding and the toys. This is probably the only thread that’s not on about swiftness and the toys this evening.

I think kitten has a kitten. Kittens become very hard to understand when most of the kittens are replaced by kitten kittens. This is also patronizing kitten kittens. This way of kitten is also ignorant of how kitten use kitten. Most of the real kittens are kittens that get into kitten and cause you to become upset subtly.
This is a perfect example as to why GW2 Forum Mad Libs would never become popular.

Mad Kittens FTW!

I couldn’t give a cheeze doodle as to whether or not the toys got buffed for speed - although I’ll admit, mine just sit in the bank not doing much. I did enjoy having them "jump" up little ledges and similar though. Looks funny.
When I’ve played about on a carpet in the past and wanted to be fast everywhere, I did this: Be a mesmer. It’s the best profession anyway (
). Use a set of armour with Centaur runes, and weapons with sigils of swiftness. Be at least level 60 for the superior versions of both runs and weapons. 80 is probably better, and Chrono’d up might be good too, but Chrono wasn’t out at the time of testing. Go to a low level (ish) map - I used Fields of Ruin - where you can kill things quickly. Do so, and ensure you have about 3 minutes, if not more, of stacked swiftness. Pop Signet of Inspiration and hop on your travel device of choice. Zip around not being in any way useful, but at least fast. Jump up and down ledges, trying to avoid the device being reset. Rinse repeat as necessary. Win!

Duh@moi. Stupid Hoelbrak, pretending to be 100% when it wasn’t. And I do have an eye test coming up, too. XD
Thanks again for your help, all!
It’s covered in snow and hard to see! Blame it on the snow! Glad you found what you were missing.
I do blame it on the snow! Quite right!
To be honest, it was more the fact I’ve done a completion the other week and probably just mistook the two, plus the daft habit I have of watching Game of Thrones on HBO Nordic at the same time as playing. :/
All done, now. Have shiny star. Yay, me!

Thanks for the replies.
It’s not an older toon - it’s only 20 days old. I have 20 gifts of exploration in the bank, however, so it’s no the first time I’ve done completion.
The WvW maps haven’t counted for about a year, I don’t think - certainly the last few characters I’ve run through the completion process haven’t needed to check in there.
If there’s been no super-recent update, I’ll have a final look in all the zones *just in case*, and then if no dice, I’ll pop a message to Support. Thanks for your help, all!

Just stop holding down the space bar, you only need to tap it in order to jump.
You were right, Zoltar. I’m getting "Learn to Play" responses now.
During my self imposed jump-training camp, I determined that the longer I hold the spacebar, the further I jump. (Or maybe it’s higher. Or both.)
I figured this too (I now break jumps down into long and short jumps), and it bugs the cheeze doodles out of me when the glider deploys mid-long-jump. If I’m doing it wrong, I’d love to be corrected!
Yet I know that if I checked the proposed glider box off, I’ll end up jumping to my death wondering why I don’t have my glider*. I am that daft! Still, I like the idea and would appreciate its implementation.
*Something a bit like this actually happened, a few weeks back. I was murdering harpies in the open world Harathi Hinterlands, but it must have been on the edge of the (underground) jumping puzzle, because I fell down the side of the cliff and died in an embarrassing heap at the bottom of it. I had expected to glide, of course, and failed to see the "no glide" icon, because I’m quite clearly blind, and there was no immediate reason for it to be a "no-glide zone".

I did do some raiding with the last guild I was in, sort of learning the fight. I could only get so far before the graphics tried to kill me - the VG did some shiny orbs of electrical death or something, which my epilepsy didn’t agree with. I don’t remember it particularly well. Then I had a hard time with a green circle on a green bit of floor, in that I really couldn’t see it, what with other flashy stuff going on and the general green-on-green madness. Seeing as I have no desire to commit suicide playing a game, and the fact I’m no longer in a guild, I have no sensible reason to try and get back into a raid. In that sense, yes, I suppose I could be afraid to raid.

And that after some people hammererd in our heads NOT to use CC on bossfights
in SW ^^Maybe Mobs should have a big red flag over their head with either “NO CCs” or
“Yes please .. CC me”
“I love a bit of CC on a Friday night”?

But I want a Joker Kitten now. I’ll be offended if I don’t get one. Yes.

Joker Kitten? Don’t be offended, I can give you that.

Welp, that had me going squee for a few minutes and I was happy.
Though, I did realise I probably had Jared Leto wearing cat ears in mind.

I appreciate your time and effort you put into your comment and yes a few people have quoted Gaile tonight and the information was taken aboard. While we haven’t exactly come up with any new ideas tonight. At least I know where Anet stands on this type of stuff a little better. Maybe it’s the different countries or something, maybe I’m not tuned in _enough_ but I thought everybody was supposed to be taking certain things a bit more serious nowadays with regards to online harassment. Maybe it’s because "Online" is not a physical place and can’t be held against any one country’s laws etc BUT I always think more can be done to cut out the middleman (_police or whomever they be_) by preventing it occuring ingame first. And as such was looking for other ideas outside of our current block/report system.
I appreciate that. I think, however, you’re really looking for a larger shift to the positive in behaviour patterns in society as a whole. Behaviour in-game is a result of complex conditions outside of the game, so the best thing you can do is take responsibility for yourself and conduct yourself in the manner you would like to see from others. I think your heart is totally in the right place, but go easy and take small steps. It’s not something you can change overnight, and you’ll likely end up with more headaches if you try to take it all on at once.
As I said, I advocate the block and report system. For our in-game purposes, for the average ordinary troll, it does work. For the stalker types, you need to contact the police. A few people telling such a person that their behaviour isn’t cool probably won’t work. Having a rule in place saying they mustn’t harass people actually won’t make a jot of difference. For death threats - not the asinine wishes of plagues on people’s houses, which although horrid, are not actual death threats - for when you truly believe your life, or the life of someone else to be in danger, that’s a straight-up police matter. Again, no gaming rules will make a difference here. I wouldn’t look upon the police as the middlemen, either. In this sense, that would be ArenaNet.
EDIT: although if you were receiving death threats in GW2, I’m sure ArenaNet would like to hear about it in an email, wherein you’d say X has occurred, and you’re taking it to the police. Given that the police would likely need to speak to ANet about it.

Heya, OP! I’m what most would call "overly sensitive" (as if that’s a bad thing); I also have depression amidst a small collective of other annoying problems, and have also left the game for a few months, coming back only two days ago for a fresh start.
That out of the way, I’ll concur that still some of the stuff people witter out in game is devoid of humanity, common decency and has all the intellect of a sub-par dung beetle. I have an exceptionally low tolerance for bobbins, and block people left, right and centre for the most minor cases of vitriol-based verbal diarrhoea. Only yesterday, I blocked a good 10 people or so within a few hours. Some probably didn’t even deserve it, but I don’t really care. As a result, my life is a much happier, more pleasant one, and I advocate blocking people who bug you as the best way to deal with your average hapless, or hopeless, troll baby.
Blocking really works. Not only do you not have to hear that person again, if you’re lucky, lots of others will have just automatically blocked the annoyance out. Long story short, one day, that person may find no one actually responds to anything they say. Job, therefore, is done.
I’ve seen people on my block list still playing, but to be fair, I block for minor offences and the person blocked may not require any form of suspension or ban for what they’ve said. But the majority of them (gold spammers notwithstanding) appear greyed out. I have to think, somewhere, something works against the ones I did report. Reporting is only for the most severe cases, of course - racist, sexist, picking on one person (as opposed to blaming everyone in their section of wherever in a group event, which is just worthy of a block). Even if some of posters in your thread say they haven’t seen such behaviour, I know I have, and that’s when you block, report and move on. This is the extent of what you can do in the event of horrible behaviour - although earlier in the thread someone did say you can offer encouragement in chat, and support your fellow players. You have to show the behaviour you want to foster in others - lead by example.
If you have someone being more persistent than average, the advice offered by Gaile Gray and quoted in this thread stands. If you have someone harassing you, stalking you, and/or issuing death threats, that’s genuinely serious business. The gaming community as it stands can’t really help you solve that one (real life social climate has to shift first); look to friends and family to support you.
I don’t know if this helps the discussion you were asking for, but I hope it helps a smidge.

But, what I’m concerned about, here, is not the cheesers of GW2 losing some of their cheese; especially, as they still have, at least somewhat, cheesy raids to “enjoy”.
It is the people who, genuinely, needed the game to be less challenging, for some reason.
Maybe they can’t play much, or have disabilities that affect how they can play and/or for how long, in one stretch, or whatever.
Or maybe they can, physically, play it, but they find it stressful and that stress affects them negatively.
I’m just concerned that they may have paid a lot for an xpac that they really can’t enjoy much of, at all.
Very late reply here, as I’m no longer regularly reading the forums. I only read this here this evening because I wondered if anything was better now, but it doesn’t seem so. Now I simply want to chime in and say the above is pretty much what happened to me. I don’t particularly want to go into it, but suffice it to say I’ve quit what was once enjoyable since it is no longer so, have been fogged with depression which of course hasn’t made it any better (and I stupidly burnt bridges as a result of it), and I have actually uninstalled a game I never thought I would uninstall. I played because it did help me forget about my real life health issues – but in the end, it just forcibly reminded me of them because I wanted to try something different. Still, no one can have my stuff, as one day I might pop back for a bit and need it.
My head feels lots better for not playing, however, though in hindsight I do regret the amount of money I have put towards the game – although it’s good to see there are still happy people playing, and kind people thinking of others. I don’t begrudge anyone their enjoyment of GW2, however my experience turned out, so I hope everyone gets a little something of what they want gamewise this coming year! Happy gaming, all.

OP, if you are still clicking your skills like I just saw on one of your youtube vids then this would explain why you are having difficulty with the content, sure HoT is harder than vanilla GW2 but you certainly do not need a zerg to get through areas, I’m sorry but this is a learn to play issue.
My logic tells me you are probably also a clicker.

Obviously you were looking to hook some one like me, expecting me to engage in a flame war.
I’ve decided to get back into the jungle, to become a great swords master like Lord Faren!
I only need 4 trustworthy compadres to follow me around and drag my skill deficient corpse around because I’ll be dead within seconds of being rezzed, who wants in on this fulfilling exciting opportunity?
I will! I’m taking a few days off due to wrist and hand issues (played too much and now have the reaction times of a thing with very poor reaction times – admittedly, it’s only a little worse than what passes for normal these days), but I expect to be back in there in a day or two. If you’re EU based, give me a shout.

I did the whole quit chapter 14, start 13, and so on, and was able to start. However, the third rock chose held no interaction (although I was able to select to interact, nothing happen, and my char said nothing). Tried restarting it again, and couldn’t interact with the second rock, I think it was. Will keep trying for as long as I can be bothered, but may well end up having the previously required mastery before it works.
“Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Steve R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn.”
Thank you so much! I’d actually stopped up on that story point due to needing to progress the mastery - something I don’t actually have much issue doing outside of the story - and it felt the gating really held up the immersion, and, without wanting to give any spoilers, the urgency of the story in this particular case.
I was a sad panda, but now I’m cheered up again! I shall wait for the update before continuing, and shall have some Halloween fun in the meantime.

Faren is a favourite of mine. He makes me laugh and yes, he’s an idiot, but aww. So cute. So adorable. I love what he’s doing thus far in the jungle. He’s such a Dedicated Follower of Fashion, he’s modelling "the latest" in male jungle attire for us. Awesome!
I agree, Faren should never change.

You are the owner of the guild. No if, ands, or buts about it.
They gave it to you and left. They have nothing to say now about who own it. If they want to run a guild differently, they can start one up and do the hard work themselves.
If I were you I would take away their guild message privileges, even if it causes bad feelings and they leave the guild. No one should EVER use guild messages to make personal remarks or to promote dissent. They have shown by this that they can’t be trusted to act properly.
This answer is what you are looking for, OP. There’s not a lot else to be said.
