The ONE good thing about Ellen Kiel:
First Mate Fidus Foecrush is actually a pretty cool guy. (The NPC from her candidate trials.)
Discuss.
Let’s say I find a trusted friend, and I decide to “donate” 100g to him out okittendness, and he donates 1000k to me in GW1 out okittendness.
In real terms, let’s say I want to trade my GW2 gold for someone’s GW1 gold.
I understand there are strict rules against selling gold, but I am not participating in RMT. I’m just a guy trying to max my Drunkard title and I’m willing to give away my gold in GW2 for it.
I don’t see anything inherently wrong with giving gold to people in GW2 who have no use of it in GW1. It seems like a very win-win situation in my opinion.
Problem is, will I be banned? Or is this more of an “at your own risk” (of being scammed) territory? Hopefully Gaile can clarify? Thanks!

At least Braham is (so far) a likeable character.
Canach is an interesting anti-hero, but you know nothing about him unless you read outside-sources. (otherwise, you find out he’s a pretty cool guy.)
I don’t care much for Rox.
Marjory would be cool to return. A Necromancer who is an expert at forensics, is actually a pretty cool fit!
Ellen Kiel is a horrible pirate. Even her own First Mate acknowledges tat during Candidate Trials.
To be honest, I really want to see Queen Jenna killed because Moncarchy is stupid in modern day Tyria.
However, the ministry is far too corrupt. (And Caudecus is apparently an extraterrestrial with a stone-based Flying Saucer in an out of bounds area of CM)
Why is it most other professions only need 1 (minor) trait to vigor on crit, yet Engineer has to dedicate too Major traits for vigor on crit?
More and more in modern video games, I see time-gated content and dailies.
In my opinion, this makes a game worse than grinding. The explanation of quite simple: It turns a game into a job, at which point it stops becoming fun.
Normal people work during the week, then go home on the weekends to binge on their favorite video games. In an entire week’s worth of work, they are able to make up for it in one day by working extra hard.
However, dailies prevent you from doing that. Instead, you are forced to log on every day, even when you’re not in the mood. (While some argue against being “forced”, the fact is it will take a very, very long time if you do not log in every day.)
This creates a false addiction, where players feel like their game is more of a hassle or job than a game.
This is a plague to modern gaming in general, and I’m especially concerned with the direction of Guild Wars 2.
Dailies are not a good thing!

There are victory dialogues, cutscenes and ingame mails for both parties hidden inside the .dat file.
Why would the devs go through the effort of the content, if they planned to rig the election?
Hopefully this puts an end to the conspiracy theories.
When Ellen Kiel loses the election, That_Shaman will post the unused victory content for the losing candidate.

Jaguar, no signet of stone.
Anyone notice pets sometimes have immunity against certain boss AoE? (Other than Subject Alpha) I forgot which boss it was, but I definitely recall seeing “invulnerable” seeing my pet not take damage from AoE more than once in dungeons.
Also, anyone notice pets can now attack mutipel targets with autoattack?
Who needs capes, when you have hobosacks?
I like how half of the people posting in this thread complain about elitists, yet nitpick other people’s LFG posts while missing the point of their farm.
Well excuse me, but I don’t like carrying PVT carebears, who hate on zerker gear because of their own inability to dodge boss attacks.
This is bullkitten. Who are the kitten carebears voting for that boring kormir-clone?
Could a Charr trip or get high off catnip?
I can understand Chinese people getting angry because their culture is mixed with japanese culture, those 2 things are completly different, so Anet has 2 options:
Be a lot more carefully with design choices
or leave it entirely.
Except most the only people who care about that stuff are ultra-Chinese/Japanese nationalists who don’t even play Video Games in the first place.
Have we ever had an Arab person shouting Takbir at the ANET HQ because Vabbi depicted magic carpets and Arabian themes?

Southsun Survival was Gnashblade’s idea, not Kiel’s!
Evon Gnashblade has a new campaign promise!
(Credit to Horiguchi Hiroshi for the original image.)
(edited by Kain Francois.4328)
Southsun Survival. We’ve been waiting since BETA for Hunger Royale to come back, no way we’re gonna miss out on it because of a bunch of Kiel carebears!
Also, Gnashblade will make catgirls real!
I think you’re underestimating the engineer’s natural survival capabilities.
I run a full zerk engineer. PM me ingame, and we could run FoTM 38 or CoE together.
Sad reality is you just have to deal with a delayed job. I’m able to dodge Subject Alpha perfectly though (roll with me if you don’t believe.)
Je cherche pour un guild francais! ^^
Hi, I’m a new French speaker trying to improve my French. I’m not the best at speaking, but I could read it decently.
Any French guilds recruiting? Feel free to PM me ingame!
Oh come on, Subject Alpha is more of a DPS fest than CoF. Just dodge his aoe, and you’re good to go.
I’m planning to revisit GW1 and get my GWAMM (and possibly 50/50).
Quick question, is it possible to do my cartographer without texmod? I’m not exactly a fan of third party programs….
Is it at least usable on Linux via WINE?
(Thread title keeps getting censored when I say Texmod)
Same here. At first I thought they simply censored texmod.
If you cannot press 2 to get past the waterfall, or 1 to jump on a platform, then you might want to stay away from GW1 where Kaineng City was a maze.
Oh hey, look at this jumping “puzzle”!

I’m sure it will return eventually. But the zone serves no purpose without living story, unless you rely on it to farm t6 mats.
Honestly? I wouldn’t mind Queen Jennah being assassinated. My problem is the ministry missing the dang point about abolishing the monarchy, since they terrorize their own citizens to gain power.
Well I hope the carebears are happy. More time-gated, daily BS which discourages you from running the same path multiple times, yippee!
Soon you will only be able to play Guild Wars 2 for 1 hour every 24 hours.

This earned another 250 votes from me.
Will specific champions offer different rewards? For example, Champion Karka at the top of the nest, and Camp Karka pre-event?
Personally, I don’t mind the festivals. If anything, I’m really looking forward to Wintersday again, when I could buy my precious kitty Charr kitty a dress!
The world is gloomy. After spending my endgame in Zombie Ville and a boiling cave of Flames, I just want to return to return to a city of estivals.
I’d like to see a sigil to add chill on crit hit (2s icd, 5s duration)
I wouldn’t get your hopes up too high, seeing as this type of sigil already exists in the game, and its duration/ICD don’t allow for permachill. Personally, I think that’s a good thing.
Actually I’ve been hit by this thing in spvp and I feel like it doesn’t have an internal cooldown even though it says so.
If it was by a guardian, they have a trait which functions exactly the same way.
Braham and Rox are coming to the Jubilee.
Thank you!
Bro’ham is my favorite character after Tybalt!
There has always been a rifle available for karma that functions exactly like a mesmer portal skill.
Er, what? The Experimental Teleportation Gun barely resembles Portal. It can’t be targeted, has a 900 range, and lasts for 5ish seconds.
And cannot be used in dungeons.
People will have a reason to kill Champion Abomination and reset Plinx? Yay!
They’re getting rid of Magic Find as a gear stat by the end of this year, so keep your chin up!
I’m referring to the new stat additions in general.
They actually thought it was a good idea and that we would use MagicFind/Healing/Boon% trinkets. Then they wondered why people were salvaging them for ectos instead of actually using them, and permabanned a couple of players.
After that we got some Settler’s gear or something like that, with stats PvErs don’t care about.
But who knows? ANET might surprise me this patch.
Please, stop with those bone/leather/stone/rusty skins for weapons and even for armors, like the new one armor, the heavy one, that thing is awful ( the light one is amazing).
I’m tired of those pathetic skins with bone and rusty things on it. I want some nice blueish metal things, or some subtle effects on them.
Seriously, stop with those bone/rusty/leather/stone looking on the skins, please.
Don’t diss Braham’s armor, man!
Many of us wanted to look like ’Bro’ham since he was introduced.
I see the resurrection of CM Story Mode.
Lodestone prices already went down. Especially Charged Lodestones, which went down to 2.50g from 3.50g.
We can just assume they actually intended us to spend 100g on Rare tier armor, rather than making it a skin we can apply like HoM armor.
It’s a retextured Fellblade. This makes me somewhat mad if they’re going to start retexturing our hard-earned HoM rewards for the masses to have.
Already did. They took away our Toxx mini and gave us an Inquest golem instead.
Meh. GW2 Fellblade is inferior to GW1 fellblade anyways.

I’m praying PowerPrecisionHealing, but knowing ANET it will probably be something stupid again like VitalityConditionMagicfind.
+1
Engineer really is a versatile class. I love how we can switch from Melee Bombs to Ranged Grenades with the simple press of a button rather than waiting on swap cooldowns.
Most of all though, I love our consistent DPS with bombs.
Norn because you have the best camera range for ground targeted AoE. Very important for Grenades!
Though I personally made a Sylvari because of the racial skills (Take Root is an awesome Elite skill!) and because I LOVE the sexy British voice and bishie sparkles!
I found the Sylvari voice most fitting for an Engineer, since he sounded more techie with lines like “Entering combat”, and “Dispenser set!”
My biggest concern is Arah P4 might only give a measly 3 gold instead of 10g and a chance at rare skins.
It’s possible to make more than 10g within 2 hours. Considering Arah P4 takes 3-4 hours, I don’t think a 10g reward is that bad.
Path 4 takes 20-30 minutes with superhero speedrunners.
Can I run with you? Please? Pretty please? :|
The “Per day” thing really isn’t more time-gated, daily BS.
