Guild Wars 2

Aguri.2896:

Meanwhile… you charr are having a hard time “killing” some ghosts.

Because why kill someone once when you can kill them twice!

Salutes

Rest in Piece Superior Trebuchet of Stonemist that was stationed on the west 3rd floor.
Which valiantly defended Stonemist against Stormbluff Isle until its destruction when the castle was lost.

Kill List
9 Trebuchets (Possibly 10, need confirmation)
3 Catapults
2 Arrow Carts
Numerous Players (40+)
Assisted Destruction of Enemy Golem

Even when kainage had the castle and Stormbluff was still fighting at the southwest gate, the treb was still firing and managed to damaged another enemy Trebuchet but was not able to destroy it before the enemy ballista took it out after numerous shots.

Total Supply Cost to Build – 120
Total Supply Potentially Destroyed – 1210

Well I’ll be dipped. Asura do have children! Though I have to feel sorry for the parents of, those… things.
Like the song goes…
kitten that’s an ugly kitten baby!

And you ever notice how many times I hear the Asura say "I feel six feet tall!’
Sorry to break it to you half fries, but not even a Mesmer can help you with THAT illusion.

Nor can they make you play belcher’s bluff normal!
I understand the concept of a handicap but if the biggest cup you can hold is a teacup it’s a little unfair for the rest of us since all you can do is sip!

But you guys are right. You’re “so” smart that you but those brains of yours to good use.
The Norn are working hard to defeat Jormag and claim their homes.
The Humans are fighting for survival.
The Sylvari are working to understand the world.
And the Asura… are attempting to boost the intelligence of Skritt!
I mean outstanding work there. I guess after building that army of golems with a 50% chance of going rampant and attacking your own people, you guys must have decided to go for something more challenging… cept the point of a challenge is it’s “doable”.

Drakkon.4782:

Oh, look. Kitten thinks he’s funny.

Let me see if I got this right?

Did you hear about the Iron Legion Engineer who was looking for a better energy source? He bolted a piece of buttered toast to the back of his warbandmate and threw him off the side of the Black Citadel. The results were quite effective.

Kitty’s whiskers would make decent floss, if one ignores that mouth they were recently attached to.

It amazes me how much Charr yell. With four ears, they shouldn’t have to be so loud.

The horns mystify me. They must be for butting their heads against brick walls, because they keep reaching so many dead ends.

I keep wondering why I can’t skin the Charr I beat in WvW. Not a big loss, as most of their pelts aren’t worth a lot.

Take your pick, I’ve got more.

Bwar Har Har! Stick with your Eternal Alchemy… it’s Eternal so you guys can give yourself enough time to actually make it sound like it wasn’t a complete pile of crap, like your DENTAL PLAN!

Har Har Harrr!!!

And how about your accomplishment of enslaving the dredge.
Good job there, proving once again how “strong” your race is by beating the disabled moles of Tyria.
Were the Quaggan too scary for ya? I’m guessing “Quaggon Go Boo” was too much for ya.

You Asura have always been the weakest link. Look at Destiny’s Edge! A group of fine warriors! Dragon fighters, and all around decent folk…

Except the Asura, who died! And apprentice, is a BAD GUY!
Nice going there.

Braahhh har har harrr!

The only thing you guys got going for you is a Bad Salad Joke!

laughs heartily

Bwah Har Har Haar! Look at all you Asura!

You’re so TINY… it’s hilarious! I have to joke about your tiny SIZE.

You Asura, are so tiny it’s no wonder Arena Net never made Asura Children!
When they went to import the file, they got the error “File Not Found”!

Bwah Har Har Har!

No wonder you have to say “For the record, you’ve been struck!” cause otherwise, we’d never know!

An Asura Warrior came to me and held up his weapon and told me “This is MY Greatsword!”.
Now we know where Logan’s butter knives have been going!

Bwah Har Har Har!

When you have to complete a Daily Jumping Puzzle, all you do is climb a flight of stairs!
Lucky!!!

In World Versus World, I lost an Asura ally to an archer’s arrow!
Curious why in the obituary it says “Killed by Ballista”.

ONE PIECE
ONE PIECE
You wear a ONE PIECE!
Bwah Ha Ha Ha Ha HAAAA
King of the Pirates….

One time an Asura fell out of their chair.
They had to call LIFE ALERT!

I swear, during Crab Toss the Norn’s kept thinking you guys were the ball!

And why do you guys have such big ears and live underground?!
So we have something to grab hold of when we yank you up like a turnip!

Bwah ha Ha ha HAAA…

I am done for now.
But will be back..

My only real complaint about thieves.
They should not be allowed to Finish a downed player while Stealthed…

I just watched the history channel about medieval warefare recently.
Found out, not once in any war did one side send a massive army of soldiers to fight another countries massive army of soldiers!
Nope, was a series of groups of 2 to 5, sneaking around and capturing key points.
The crusades was done by twelve people!
And WW2? Well they sent in an orange haired guy and he took on the german army himself and won using supernatural powers and even destroyed a mecha-hitler!
I’m sure someone told King Arthur “Hey man, gotta stop this ZERG mentality! Some of your soldiers want to take on that castle single-handidly!” Good times.

It’s I before e except after c, and when sounding like A as in neighbor or weigh and on weekends and holidays and all throughout may and you’ll always be wrong no matter WHAT YOU SAY!!!

Turns toward the camera, a soft smile on the battle worn Charr’s face

“Salutations people of Tyria…. growing up in the Plains of Ashford, I’ve seen many folks wondering about, the same look on their face as they ask themselves. What happens next?”

Starts walking outside, cubs running about with toy swords and pretending to be Destiny’s Edge

“What happens next? After Zhaitan rose and, attacked our people. After the flame legion and dredge teamed up. After the beaches of Southsun Cove saw the fugitive Canach bring chaos to the sandy shores. After the tragic event that occurred during Dragon Bash. What happens next?”

Catches a frisby cause those exist now

“I’ll tell you what happens next. Progress. Progress, to a better Tyria, where we look out toward the Elder Dragons and think… Yeah, that’s doable. Progress toward making sure that when you go after Stonemist castle, you have the siege, and the spirit, to knock down those doors and say, Hi, i’m from server number 7 and we think your face should be a canoe!”

Is now on a volcano catching another frisby, this one however, is purple

“Evon. Now that Charr, his jib is cut just right. He took the Black Lion Trading Company, and turned it from just another merchant you find in the only town in the area with an anvil, to becoming one of the most prominent companies around. When you buy your omnomberry bars, or that extra piece of, mythril… his staff personally wraps and presents that item for you, at a convienient location. It’s amazing really, all they’ve done for us…”

Is now a sock puppet

“But Kiel? She doesn’t want, progression… she wants, efficiency, and while I can admire that I have to say she DOESN”T KNOW WHAT THE #%^@ SHE’S DOING, I M……apologies, I get a little, steamed when I think of that women, with all her incompetence, needing fellow adventurers to do all the work for her, just so she can get the credit for it…. just, ruffles my fur, you know?"

Is now two sock puppets and, a frisby

“When I was on top of Stonemist, firing off Trebuchets toward the enemy towers of Quentin Lake and Durios, I said to myself… man, sure am glad that Kiel lady ain’t one with authority, else she might take claim for when those walls go down and the tower is captured.”

Walks casually along the roads of Lion’s Arch

“The elections are coming, and Evon needs your support. While he is a man of means, he can only do so much unless he has the help of you. Yes my friend you. No, no, not you… you. Yes, you… with the hat. We need people like you. Cause if we don’t elect who’s right, the man with the key to our hearts, then we might as well just, commit suicide. Yep just, take a long dagger, start cutting into our femoral arteries… just bleed out, all over the floor. Could lay you down, right on your belly, lay my greatsword down by your neck, just a quick swish down, be like a paper cutter, you wouldn’t even feel it though the blood would pool and we’d have to make sure to have enough proper clean sheets and towels to, wipe everything up and of course the Norn’s neck is quite firm and would take maybe three, or four chops and… well… I digress… "

Is now Joe Cool, King of Vermont

“When elections come, make the right choice. Vote for Evon, vote for the Charr that is looking out for the folks around him. Looking out, for you~”

Walks off into the sunrise and then becomes a MUTHA FLIPPIN FIREBALL AND GOES TO BATTLE MECHA-UNICORNS! Cause why not got a problem with that, I will fight you on the side of the street!

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!

Now now, bookah. Don’t think of us as short. Think of us as within weapon’s range of your groin. How loud will you laugh when you get unmanned by an Asuran Warrior’s Greatsword? Hmm? No cubs for you, cat. I don’t have to kill you. I’ll just turn your dangly bits into earrings for my mate, or perhaps a necklace for her delicate neck. If you really want to get uppity, I could carve off your tail and turn it into a whip.

How well will you climb stairs once you’ve been hamstrung?

How much stamina will it take you to cross a bridge once you’ve lost your … edge?

And those are just the crude “quick and dirty” solutions to the Charr question. Employing a mere fraction of our considerable intellect could yield even greater results with more… permanent… effects. Shall we discuss those, or are you done?

Asura Greatsword?
You mean Human Dagger right?

Someone call Logan! Seems the muffin heads stole his butter knife and are trying to play Warrior! Har Har Haaar!

You couldn’t even beat Belcher’s Bluff correctly since you can only drink out of a thimble while you’re “manly” Asura can take on the massive teacup!
The last Asura I faced took a whole three sips! I was getting worried he might hurt himself straining so hard.

And don’t even get me started on that “swimwear”.
A one-piece guys and gals? Really? When we go off and help the Quaggan retake their homes from the elder dragon of water, we’ll be sure to supply you folks with some water wings so you can keep up. But you better make sure to have the class chauffeur with you, don’t want a gentle breeze making you float off into the depths and vanish!

Har Har Haaarr!

I Belcher Bluffed Zhaitan!

I was happy to help ^^

Grimno.6172:

since this content is for everyone and missing out on a title really sucks if there’s no chance to get it back later :<

All that does is cheapen the value of that title. Just like legendary weapons and T3 armour isn’t that prestigious anymore, because it probably just means that the person spent hours upon hours farming CoF P1. Exploiting, fixing races, endless QQ about WvW’s inclusion in the Living World achievement section, all that is doing is killing the prestige from these things. There are already plenty of participation rewards out there.

Well to be fair, those things were gonna have cheapen value anyway.
T3 you can just buy, just do CoF runs and viola.
Legendaries are endgame, so eventually most will go for them. Heck, I’ve almost got one now! lol

I help others get the achievement since I know there are some out there who in normal conditions, don’t stand a chance to win.
Not trying to be mean but its the truth, some people… in general, suck.
I want to help the people who can’t go toe-to-toe with the ones who can make it to the end before you even BEGIN to climb that final mountain, since this content is for everyone and missing out on a title really sucks if there’s no chance to get it back later :<

I was able to help about 8-9 people finish first a few hours ago, and was happy about it.
Kinda feel like my efforts were rewarded too, as I pulled a windcatcher back piece and sold it for 10 gold

I kinda find the new helms to look.. meh.
The back pieces, on Charr, woooaaaahhh boy… I went back to Karka Shell.
Don’t like having a mystical javallin on my back, lol.

Yeah, I feel 50 AP each is a bit much.
You already get a unique title for doing so.

Grimno.6172:

Yeah, just did a few more matches. It is luck.
That’s all this game is.
When you start, if you get the Aspect Mastery, you push off ahead. Then all you have to do is grab offensive bags and place traps and every single chokepoint (Especially ones you HAVE to lightning pull to) And you secure victory!

That’s what I did. Pushed ahead, and put traps EVERYWHERE.
Every-Where.
Ended up winning by a good 30 seconds before 2nd place even showed up.
The 3rd place person was the same person who usually won, but this time they didn’t get the aspect mastery at the start and I did.
It’s luck at the start, then it’s all about being a kitten.

Nah. There’s a lot of skill involved. Not screwing up is pretty important

I’ve won several times without bombing everywhere. I even won against someone else that was consistently bombing me simply because he made one bad jump.

Low latency helps a lot though. If you have a high ping, some of the jumps will be pretty impossible.

(Honestly, you probably won because you got better at it. Try it some more without using bombs and see how well you do. )

Trust me, you can get good at this as much as you want but there’s only so much you can do without “luck”.
You can grab as many boosts as you want, but if all you’re snagging are Grounded and the other guy is getting Aspect Master, he will get ahead of you. And once he’s ahead, and has ZERO worries about traps of any kind (Grounded everywhere), all he has to do is be cheap.
There needs to be, someway to hit the 1st place guy, like a blue koopa shell.
When you’re far back, you can get checkpoint skips… something that occurs like that, but to try and bridge the gap between 1st and 2nd.

Well. The first guy can get hit with lightning…just not by the second place guy. Unless the second place gets grounded and collects a lightning that he gets with and uses it on the guy in first place.

It’s true though. If you’re in first, it’s more of your race to lose. It would be nice if there was a small chance for a second place to get an attack ability. But then…first place usually will have a grounded to negate it…so…

When I was in the lead, I always always ALWAYS had a Grounded to negate incoming thunder. Heck, they make you run through so many defensive bags around the 1/3-2/3 mark that even if you wasted one, you’d still have one!
Once someone gets almost a checkpoint in length away, game over, they’ve won unless they screw up but chances are, they won’t.

puts on shades

..need some SPAACE!!!

~YEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH

I sometimes imagine a zoomed out view of my charr, racing out all huff and gruff like a Cactuar across the crystal desert screaming
“I need some SPAACE!!!”

I want it to be a t-shirt.

Blue Koopa Shell.
Nuff said.

Spent a few matches with the same person getting 1st, and me always coming in 2nd. Despite my best efforts, they’d just move ahead and place fake traps at every… single…choke point. EVERY, CHOKEPOINT.
How am I suppose to build up a lightning move to hit them when it keeps getting taken away?! Sure grounded will stop me from getting knocked back but I still lose my stuff.

There are a few things they need to fix about this game.

1- Lightning Pull. Sometimes when you’re on a platform and it can auto-jump you, you use it, and it wants you to select the landing point. Had this happen three times already and on platforms the auto-jump can make but the manuel landing one cannot so your only option is to fall.

2- Have some way to hurt the lead players. Kinda sucks when they get off ahead and just leave traps at chokepoints to slow you down the entire time.

3- Traps in general. How do they even work?! So the lightning one… it hurts people in… front of you?
Cause I keep getting hit by skills with NOONE around me.
Or the fact that, they’re placeable? Odd, all mine always get used. How do you place them? Is there a guide to this? A training room perhaps? NO…None of that!

kurath.9406:

Should be flat out applauding them. WvW is way more interesting and dynamic when people are trying out crazy things all over the place. Plus, lets be honest, 99.99% of players never once spent money on a siege golem – between JPs and random drops, most people have more than they will use.

Understandable, and while sure it was a neat idea.

Its execution was terrible.

Starts a slow clap for the 2 AR assaulters in DH’s Borderlands, I believe from a guild with the initials CoD, who decided to use 2 golems to try and take the paper bluebriar by themselves, unguarded by allies, who then were killed once they finally got the door open, which was then immediately repaired with supplies on site. Best 200 supplies and 2 gold spent

I used to like the heavy armor for charr.
Then someone made a field goal with a paper football through my shoulderpiece.

Kain Francois.4328:

GW1 had a “Paragon” who quite literally buffed his allies by shouting.
.

For some reason this reminded me of this

(Start at 1:13 but have it be “I just shouted at him yesterday!”)

They are available for all classes.
You just had to choose the one for your class.

irishhaf.1692:

Well that didnt take long, I guess some people cant restrain themselves.

IOJ has always been strongest during oceanic times (Which is around 3:30AM-6AM EST, 12:30AM-3AM PST). Learned this from all the times DH has fought em.
Its to be expected, lol… just wait for the sun to rise, rebuild, and plan to defend against it better the following night~

And no. It’s not a “Weekend Warrior” kinda thing, it’s every night.

cheshirefox.7026:

.. i’ve been spending less time on this game now that staff elem is So broken and irrelevant at this point

Especially when they get hunted down by warriors.

::leans in veeerrry slowly::

When I wink (the wink hinting toward something only you will get) it’s going to emit a shockwave…

~SONIC-WINK!!!~

It was fun matches all around, though sometimes I did have to go “Seriouslly?!” at some of the attacks like the duo attack on our keep the previous night.

Gabby.3205:

Grimno,
I did it with my necromancer. I ran in circles, in the same direction that the wall was turning, and jumped up on the crates when the shorter beam was coming, while auto-attacking the golems and removing the confusion sometimes. Also, I dodged the golem’s pulls. Got hit a few times, though, but didn’t die.
Worked as a charm, but one of our members was killed. We finished the part, but it took a bit longer than it should because the member that was killed was doing great damage to the golems while alive (I believe he was one of the elementalists). Necromancer, 2 elementalists, thief and warrior.

And there’s the problem I have.
For you, one died.
For me, i’m always the last guy standing.

Always.. Always ALWAYS… when phase 3 starts, someone is standing where the low beams spawn and gets downed and dies.

My mind hasn’t quite grasped the fact that “A lot of people suck.”
But deep down I keep thinking “Maybe next time will be different! Maybe these guys know their stuff!”
But then I get let down…

Kinda feel this is punishment for the stuff I do in EB’s jump puzzle…

While I do enjoy difficult challenges now and then, I feel as if Anet doesn’t quite understand difficulty scale.

Usually things are too easy in the game… but then things become ridiculously hard to the point where a lot of people can’t complete the dungeon and thus they can’t complete the story.

The Aetherblade Dungeon is the best example of this.

The normal enemies are tough to kill! That’s great! I’ve seen people die to them a lot and I feel that’s nice! Good to have tough mobs.
Then you have Frizz, who’s ridiculously hard because the golems have too much kitten going on.
Then you have the final boss, which is way too easy, just long.

So far, the one thing I think Anet had made that showed “Challenging difficulty but can be conquered once you figured it out”, was honestly… the jump puzzle during Halloween.
It took me 4 hours of trying just to get it done, and then after I finally pegged it, I was able to beat it 20 times in a row easily. Same with others, and in the end it was doable. Hard but doable.

For Frizz… it’s like. So we go from Very Easy, to Hair Pulling Hard… where’s the middle man? Where’s the ween into difficulty to show people they need to start getting prepared for this sort of thing? Why did they decide instead of taking the training wheels off with a screwdriver, to smack em off with a sledgehammer and set the biker on fire?!

The golems have pull, knockback and stun attacks on top of confuse and their invulnerability shield that likes to last just as long until the next beam passes through them.
You can still target Frizz with ranged even while hes in the shield… not sure why, you can’t hurt it but the game chooses to auto-target him.

I want to know what Anet thought about Frizz.
They made him, and they obviously had a method of beating him. I would love for them to show me the correct pattern.
Managed to beat him once with my first party, haven’t been able to since and quite frankly I don’t see any reason to even do the dungeon again.

So like what is the way to beat Frizz Phase 3?
My method doesn’t work cause party members can’t listen for crap.

Whats the way you have to do it involving a party consisting at lvl 80’s of any class.

Don’t say like “Well first you need to get a guardian” cause no.
A dungeon needs to be able to present a challenge but at the same time be doable regardless of what class you picked at the beginning.
So what is the solution for a party of friends consisting of

Warrior
Ranger
Necromancer
Warrior
Elementalist

Apolyon.6937:

You can jump on the boxes to avoid the low beams. Just stay on top of the boxes that are lying around, wait for the low beam to pass, and keep running in circles after that.

You will also need one or two people with party stability, to prevent the gollems from pulling you off the boxes.

I was thinking about the boxes yes, but at the same time I think the boxes on stage 3 would be a problem.
I’ve watched a lot of times people would try to jump on the boxes but slide off a ledge or not jump right or something, and get caught in the beams. Happened to me once too.
So I think ignoring the boxes and just moving with the beams would be best for stage 3 since it’d just add a complication
“Oh where’s the boxes! I need to get on the boxes to avoid this beam!”
Me- “Just dodge roll through it!”

It’s usually how things go, lol.
I sit there sometimes in games, watch people call out these “plans” that have all this finesse to them and everything… but in reality the solution is “Hit it till it dies”.

Course life has made me a realist in a sense so while my plan could work I know that when I tell people to “Do as I do” and such the end result will be
1- One guy won’t listen, try to get on the boxes and get pulled by the golems and die.
2- One guy won’t be able to keep up and keep caught in the beams behind us.
3- Another will suck at dodge rolling.

And so on and so forth….

I finally figured out a way to beat Frizz’s Phase 3 or at least give you a better chance of beating it then how it is right now!

However, trying to explain it would be too complicated… =_=
And the odds of it working would be minimum unless everyone in the party is able to listen….

I’ll try to explain what I figured out.

So the low beams add the shields. This is the big issue since shield = invulnerable = no kill.
The wall beams make them stronger.

Got that so far? Essentially, no low beam touch = no shield = killable.

Now, here’s the complicated part.
So… the low beams, move faster, then the wall beams.
BUT, if you stay near the middle of the room, you can move just as fast/faster then the low beams, enough to keep them in front of you.
Now, you do this, and keep the golems behind you, you can do damage to them!
But now the issue is the wall beams! Here’s what I figured…

Eventually, the low beam will catch up to the wall beam. Don’t try and dodge roll through the wall beam… trying to dodge roll the same direction a beam is going usually results in death. SO… what I figure is… once the low beam passes through the wall beam, the party backs up and dodge rolls through the next incoming low beam and follows it now, passing the golems, who then follow you and then can take damage. Since once the low beam reaches the wall beam, the room would be split 180/180 so it’s like its resetting!

Got that?
Will have to try it out… see if it works.
The problem is though, people would need to listen.

Gonna join a group and test this theory… need to calculate in things like
“When you dodge roll through the low beam, will you have enough space to avoid the incoming wall beam?”
and
“The golems will have to pass through the low beam that you roll through… will their shields fall quick enough to do some damage?”
As well as
“What if a golem pulls you during this process?”

It sucked! I tried Frizz again, pug group couldn’t do it but this time I paid full attention to everything that occurred during the fight.
What did what, what attacks they used, where to move, etc….
And after close observation I had finally figured out how to complete phase 3 once I relized “The low beams make them gain the shields while the wall beams make them gain might!” And it dawned on me how to beat stage 3 easy peasy!
But then I relized… it’s not doable with pugs. I tried my best explaining to them what we’d have to do, and for the most part it worked! Got both golems down to 20% on phase 3 but they still died, and they kept dying, and finally I got killed trying some “hands on” experimentation with one of the wall beams to test a theory…

It’s like the NYC Raid from The Secret World all over again…
Need to find that specific group just to be able to beat it with Pugs having a 2% chance of success….

Even now it’s almost 7AM and I’ve written up a map of the room and am trying to get this speed thing locked down so I can understand the motions the players will need to make to succeed…

I was able to beat it with the first pug group I was with.
Second group didn’t do so hot, and I even had a few experienced with me :\
Stage 3 was just too much…
But there’s always that one kitten… that one person, who for some reason dies at the drop of a hat… who can’t listen… who refuses to listen!!!
THAT BRING THE TEAM DOWN!

But it’s fun killing people in obsidian without even having to do any damage to them :<

GSSBlunaspike.4153:

PvE is about gimmicky mechanics to try and give you the illusion of challenge while only really frustrating you.

Like Dark Souls

The last fight is glitched in a way.
If you kill the first mate before Mai, then you can’t kill Mai :<

Here’s my big complaint about the dungeon.
During the laser part, you should NOT be able to target Champion Frizz when he’s inside the glass.
Some use range weapons and when you turn to avoid the lasers, it chooses to auto-target him but of course everything you fire is “Obstructed”.

Ya know…. You guys could come on over to NSP…. Just sayin’….. It’s a fun place!

Is this you in WVW?

Thinking DH just doesn’t care for WvW this week.
Not once when I’ve joined have I had to sit in a line even during peak hours. Guessing maybe more folks are busy finishing Dragon Bash as well as the Skypirates now.

Though I predict that~
Instead of how in the past when DH wins the WvW, the next matchup is generally the same people…
I’m predicting that if DH loses this week, the winners will then get to face new people instead of the same people, and it’s going to be devastating to them.

Like this is how it’s going to play out XD

Darkhaven – “We won! Let us fight more challenging servers!”
Arenanet – “Nope you fight the same people.”
Darkhaven – “Okay we won this week too! Can we fight some different people this time that are more challenging?”
Arenanet – “Naw you get to fight the same people again.”
Darkhaven – “Right, we’ve beaten them three weeks in a row! Can we PLEASE fight some better people! We want to get better and learn new things from new opponents!”
Arenanet – “Magical dartboard says you guys get to fight IOJ and NSP this week… again!”
Isle of Janthir – “We beat Darkhaven! Are we fighting them again like how the pattern was?”
Arenanet – “Well we decided to finally listen to Darkhaven and decided this week to pit the winner against new opponents! However it seems you guys won this week… Well we can’t go back on our word now!”
Isle of Janthir – “So who were Darkhaven going to fight, that we’re now fighting?”
Blackgate – “Yo wus up?”
Jade Quarry – “Hey Hey Hey, Time to Play!”
Isle of Janthir – “Oh sweet jesus…”

Okay so I went on top of the bar part on the NorthWest area of Marriner where you can buy Lionguard Cultural Weapons and I found a cage of some kind.
It’s big, metallic, and has chains wrapped on it but there’s no NPC in it at all…
So assuming they’re not available yet since this is the ONLY thing I’ve found at Marriner’s that resembles a jailcell.

I know shes at the Fort Marriner Cell, but where IS the Fort Marriner Cell?
I’ve been running around there in my server looking and can’t find ****!

There’s no marker for her, there’s no hint, and there doesn’t even appear to be a jail at Marriners

Suppose to talk to Mai at Fort Marriner since me and my group beat the dungeon, but we cannot find her cell at all.
In fact, we can’t even find a prison!

Is it even accessable at this time or will it be its own later instance?

Really, it comes down to NSP seems to be giving up. The further they get behind, the fewer I see playing. I HATE the idea of taking advantage of lack of numbers.
.

No kidding with this.
Within the last hour, me and two others built a treb in NSP’s keep, knocked down langor’s wall while our commander was busy at IOJ’s keep, 3 manned Langor, then took the Mine, then 4-5 manned QL…
At any of these times, not a single NSP was soon or heard…
