what will it take to convert you to the meta

I beautifully written essay outlining the advantages of converting eight of my nine characters to human females and concept art outlining new outfits.

Also the essay must be hand written with pink sparkle gel pen and every i must be dotted with a heart.

I fashion how I want, yo

(Insert something about skimpy human female elitists)

I can’t get over the little girl face and pigtails with the big ol’ rack.

Y’know, charr totally don’t have underage facial options.

I will topple this human female meta one day.

Rising Dusk.2408:

I definitely want in! Hit me up in-game if you have planned times you expect to do this so we can coordinate.

Most of us will be on around 7:30-8 EST tonight. I just got a message from another forumite, so I am hoping I won’t have to dual-box the lepers account or bully him into logging in.

I might be around before the others so if you see me feel free to harass me for planning, I’ll keep an eye out for you online too.

We’re NA and have at least one open spot, two if the leper won’t log on.

Since I have every race I can accept anything that is not sylvari or norn, as they already have their kitten together, so if you want in just let me know ingame or here.

My groups charr is horribly sick with what is probably the plague; I could be the charr but then we’d be missing a human or asura.

Totally going to bully him though, unless I can get replacements.

P.S if there are any of the aforementioned races that need a group let me know today so I don’t have to harass the plague victim, will reluctantly accept female humans (ew).

It’s pretty ridiculous for me right now, but it seems to be very intermittent; it will be fine for a few minutes then I’ll get a few minutes of skill lag and so on.

I just logged in to do my dailies, but this lag makes me not want to bother.

DigitalKirin.9714:

Mai Trin is now everything the anti-metas want, I think. Fast attacks, high damage, damaging aoes, blah blah blah. Now everytime they complain about a boss being stacked we can just ask them how they like fighting Mai Trin at 50.

You’re implying the PHIWs actually do things besides faceroll around open world/living story and whine on the forums.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

Don’t use zerkers- > done.

I did it easily on a berserker guardian with 10.8k health; could have been slightly more health as I’m not ingame and just checked the base stats on a build editor.

I made a killing seeing as I bought mine for super cheap, I didn’t have many though, but meh.

Where is the crit and the power…
Where is the zerker that was DPSing…
They have passed like patched exploits…
Like unintended game mechanics…

The days have come down in these Forums…
Behind fake tanks and into shadow…
How did it come to this?

We can still do screenshots, right?

I can’t capture, and I am unsure if I’ll have someone who can.

Pretty sure his post would have given cancer to cancer.

They’re already here, just look at most of the recent posts in the forums; or don’t, some are pretty painfully stupid.

There might need to be more bingo categories added for passive aggressiveness, capitalism, communism and/or politics.

maha.7902:

So let’s get this straight – you think 12,000 damage over 3.5 seconds is higher DPS than 7,000 damage over 0.75 seconds.

I’m not talking about DPS. You wanna talk dps now? Okay, the DPS on guardian is way less either way you don’t see it because you’re not accounting the cooldowns, the number of moves meant for damage, and how the damage gets delivered. Those three are completely different on both classes, which is why warrior deals more damage, maybe you should look into that. I’m going to cease replying on this thread since everyone wants everyone to shut up.

I bet warrior is the highest damage class too, and the best groups are either 4 warriors and a mesmer, or a guardian.

You saw how my only human female turned out.

New look for my thief, although I am unsure about the colour of the adorable pinstripe pants: Fluff (first screenshot) or Cinders?

I’m also debating swapping the blues for greens, and getting a total makeover kit.

I guess you missed his screenshots with nearly 1k gold & thousands of tokens, try reading the whole topic before you reply.

So, the study done by the admin of gw2trading was super good, shme you are only a newcomer to the economic qestions and didn’ have the opportunity to read it.

1K gold is zilsch IMO. I make that in a month of dungeon running. Add basic TP activities and I’m at 4-5K gold a month.

Thus, it doesn’ prove his point at all. OP has no clue what he’s talking about. You neither. And John Smith knows what he’s doing by the way.

Again u fail to understand that out of 1K u gain from dungeon ur not really pumping additional gold from tp activities since it has to come out of someone elses pocket. Tp activity actually benefit the ecnomy by remove some currency from circulation.
Admin of gw2trading create posts to pump and dump.

Without enough coming in though prices would just go down and down. The idea is to keep things stable, not to make them plummet or to make them shoot up.

I think they’ve done a far better job in this game than they have in any game i’ve played in the past /shrug.

This is why I suggest replacing gold with mats. Improve dungeon mobs drop like having chances of dropping T6, small amount og currency like couple of copper to a silver. Dungeon boss will have better chance at dropping rare, exo, while end boss have chances of dropping unique loot.
Remember how Fractal was b4 they nerf the mob drop to oblivion. remember how they would have high chances of dropping exo, and even tho fractal wasn’t rewarding ppl still do them for the skin.

That’s exactly it though, that’d reverse the situation, so instead of a slow crawl upwards, it’d be a pretty decent shot downwards.

If you’re right in that there are thousands of gold flooding the market daily, then cutting off that stream would have pretty major implications to the economy wouldn’kitten Why is a big shot down better than a slow trickle upwards?

Question the amount, ask that maybe it be dropped from 1g to 80silver and inject some more mats into the rewards would be a reasonable request I think as in the time I’ve been playing there has been a decent trickle upwards in the costs. But asking that it be cut down to a couple silver… that’s dangerous.

My suggestion is up to the players, the more mobs they kill the currency they would make per run.

So your problem is not the money but that people speed run?

Yeah, I’m starting to think this is the real reason behind the OP.

Sry but I feel that dungeon are too short that it need some necessary road block that are no skippable.

Well your gear is certainly helping to make them longer.

I dont remember there being a lvl 13 dungeon, never once claim I have a speed run team, I usually pug 80s group thats exp, I am satisfy clearing 4 path a hour, since i don’t run all 16 ez path a day, I normally only run 6-7 path.

I think someone needs to read their own posts, maybe you’ll understand if I type it like this: if u reread all ur own previous posts ull be abl to kep ur story strait.

This would also resolve the speed run problem.

Hahaha, when you say the “speed run problem” do you actually mean the “I don’t like people doing things better than me, I want to wear clerics and do stuff just as fast problem”?

Read the whole post, I do speed run as well

I do speed run, but I don’t have a team that does it regularly. And my definition of speed run, maybe different than ur. It not like I am trying to break the time record, what I consider speed run is fast party that can skip and kill stuff atleast semi fast rate, in another language, avg of 15 min per path.

So you are making up a definition of speed run so you can wear cavaliers and probably use a poorly optimized spec; but, since your definition of speed run is different you can still advertise it as a speed run and get berserkers to carry you. Also those people carrying you shouldn’t be able to make any money from dungeons since you already made yours so now it’s ok to nerf it.

I was teaching path 1 and 3 last night to a drunken engineer who hasn’t played in a year; there were only 3 of us: the drunk engineer, an elementalist, and myself on a guardian. I didn’t notice any changes at all as it went fairly smoothly despite the engineer getting lost somehow between Nokk and the triple golems (how, I will never know). We were all in zerker gear and used conjures/reflects/condi clears when appropriate. I had to dress the engineer myself before the run because he was in terrible gear.

Maybe you lacked reflects for the triple golems? They can really hurt if you just let them go all willy-nilly.

I bet he’s probably “busy” that day, but he’ll totally watch.

Pug roulette, that masochism though.

But truffle oil… ew

Has anyone changed their character’s hair colour to one of the new greens or pinks? I was debating changing the colour scheme on my asura from blue to green, but the green hair seems really desaturated that I might just wear a helmet or something to cover it; thoughts?

How did it go?

blah chars

Worst LFM, or best LFM?

Is the fact that there are two people in the group mean that I captured something special?

Pfft, General Volkov does what he wants, a simple thing like condition damage won’t stop him.

Ignore dyes obviously, didn’t preview any.

Hmm, thoughts on magitech armor on asura?

I like the gloves and coat but not the boots, so I am on the fence about blowing another 100g on yet another store armor; fashion for my midget thief is escaping me.

Bloody Zac.8960:

maha.7902:

so you stacked in a corner and didnt even think to ask why?

The benefits are apparent. Most bosses get stuck trying to get to the corner, buffs/boons are easily applied, and it’s a quick way to kill your enemies. I understand why it works.

You really need to venture out of AC. Most bosses get stuck ? When you only do AC most bosses is like what spider queen, and the two commonly done last bosses?

Most pugs don’t understand why people stack, or what happens when kittens hit the fan, they just do it because herd mentality and that is why we get so, so many “OMG nurf stackin/stackin r xploit/zurkur leetist kic me 4 not stackin” threads

In honor of vast number of no more stacking/zerker/exploiting threads, a song as overdone as they are:

The casuals swarm over the LFMs tonight
Not a friend to be seen
A kingdom of isolation,
And it looks like I’m the queen.

My rage is howling like a swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I tried!

Don’t let them in, please let me be
Be the zerker you always love to be
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Well, now they know!

Gotta rage, Gotta rage
Can’t hold it back anymore
Gotta rage, Gotta rage
Good damage is not an exploit!

I don’t care
What game you played
You can’t tank here,
And your healing does nothing anyway!

It’s funny how some small words
Make everything so hard
“I play how I want, you’re elitist”
Don’t talk to me at all!

It’s time to see what I can do
They test my limits and get through
No bows, no bears, no pugs for me! I’m free!

Gotta rage, Gotta rage
I select kick and hit accept!
Gotta rage, Gotta rage
I never told them why!

Here I stand
And here I’ll stay
Let the bads whine on!

My power flurries through my swords into the Boss
My toon is dodging with perfect timing all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
They’re never coming back,
Those pugs are in the past!

No more rage! No more rage!
And I’m done with another path
No more rage! No more rage!
Those stupid pugs are gone!

Here I stand
While the boss is dead
Let the bads whine on…
I still got my dungeon chest anyway!

… and now it’s stuck in my head, great.

GW2 karaoke contest!

I have been sitting outside CoE for like 10 minutes while my character does /dance, with this playing in the backround, there are people waiting for me but I can’t stop.

This is the internet: any time someone is told they are wrong, they are just being berated and the person correcting them is just being mean and a bully.

Well then, we can be bad guardians together.

Edit: I have been listening to a jazz version of the Game of Thrones theme, on loop, all day. I might have finally broken.

Apparently I am missing something on my guardian because my health is way, way lower than what real berserker guardian has.

P.S: 6 in Honor, with Force of Will and a hammer is the best DPS and the new meta, someone get on that math please.

CoE: 2 guards, 2 hammers, walls for alpha only.

They have to be recent, or we’d all be reading that, videogamemike, or that guy from the mesmer forums over and over and over; maybe there should be a contest, contests are very fashionable right now.

Lucas.9157:

I would. Totally. I die even when I do mentally. hahaha

Sometimes we go through the forums and look for those special posts, like these to read out loud to each other, terrible punctuation and all; there are some really golden posts out there. It gets pretty funny, especially if drinks are involved.

I bet if I read some of these posts in my HURR DURR voice in vent tonight someone will die laughing.

Oh man, three words:

Harpy.

Pheromone.

Hearts.

Now we just have to take screenshots together, and post them all over social media.

Let’s seal this deal.

Lilith Ajit.6173:

kneels

places a red ring of death on your finger

Marry me.

I dunno, is it infused?

Imagine there’s no zerker
It’s easy if you try
No damage below ours
Above us only rampager
Imagine all the people
Living for boring play…

Imagine there’s no ferocity
It isn’t hard to do
Can’t kill or die
And no precision too
Imagine all the people
Playing bad in peace…

You may say I’m a baddie
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will play how they want

Imagine no more dungeons
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or speed runs
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the gold…

You may say I’m a baddie
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will play how they want

I am told I have gone mad from insomnia.

It’s summer, why can’t all these special snowflakes melt already?

My cult of creepy soulless eyed, nose-less, brightly coloured sylvari is totally growing.
