Axelwarrior.9084:

By “most fashionable”, what exactly do you mean?

Not planning to join, since my graphics settings suck, but I’m looking forward to seeing some nice entries~

I’m the judge jury and executioner of fashion.

So basically.. PLEASE ME

XD

Oh you could steal someone else’s screen hahaha

IvanTheGrey.2941:

Dungeons blah blah blah

There, back on topic.

Crepes ARE better than pizza. Unless it’s New York pizza from a little hole in the wall place off Broadway.

There’s this little hole in the wall right next to ground zero that has the BEST New York cheesecake in all of New York. I love those finds. Best places ever.

I’m guessing it could be the new Chaos Daggers or maybe the legendary incinerator?

Grok Krog.9581:

Doubt I could win but is it ok if there’s more than one person in the screenshot?

Sure. Just make sure I know which you’re entering.

It wasn’t clear… but the entry and screen does not have to be yours if you don’t want it to be. Haha

I want to see the most supremely fashionable character in Tyria. The winner will receive a free gw2 game key (great for forumers!)

Please post beautiful screens. I want something I can put on my wallpaper.

Ends tomorrow night.

This thread is such win. Quick someone not on a cell phone save it!!! The moderator bug is cominggggggg

Cavendish.2168:

you guys are filthy elitists talking about your meta pizza builds. I make pizza how i want, and that means vegan cheese, no meat, only veggies. Also none of my toppings are stacked together.

Beautiful. But I prefer my cheese stacked on my meats.

J Eberle.9312:

I can’t really get myself to like the new skins. Too bright in most cases for my taste. But we have already established that my fashion sense is weird like that.

I get it xD

It depends on my Character. Some of them are divas. They need dat shine.

…. It makes no sense. You can’t compare the 2. It’s like witnessing 2 people that argue which one tastes better, peaches or pork meat. It’s kinda stupid to argue on such a thing.

Peaches do.

You haven’t had my brother’s pork… meat candy…

peaches are mighty delicious though.

I just need to say that the bolded made my mind fall straight into the gutter.

(and swift will say I am an instigator again :/)

Dessert crepes are the only ones I’ve ever tried. Lol

deSade.9437:

Meh… meh… Ok fine. /walks back in

I just don’t understand if this “margarita” he’s talking about is indeed a margherita…
If it is
- it’s basil not spinach
- the only cheese on it is mozzarella
- it’s not marinara sauce on it kittenMIT just regular tomato sauce°
Nothing else on it. That + dough which obviously has a very specific recipe aswell.
How I eat it well… regular base of tomato+mozzarella with mushrooms and something else depending on how I feel like.

° Marinara sauce: tomato sauce + garlic + a bit of origano and olive oil. The marinara pizza is NOT a margherita.
Gosh.

Teach me, my liege.

The Zenith staff also retracts similarly, not as much of course, as kasmeer, but it does a bit.

And no you should never trash an asura.

dlonie.6547:

Jerus.4350:

Doh I think Dlonie is right, basil not spinach… i hate green leafy things usually but on that pizza, mmm

If you could eat the Pale Tree, her leaves would taste exactly like basil.

At least they did in that dream I had that one time….

Scarlet tastes like boiled kale.

deSade.9437:

Ok ok, you successfully kicked me out of this thread… I’m done… oh I’m so done…

Pear + arugula + goat cheese is pretty popular round these partz. Do you live near me or something?

I’m near Albany these days. I think it is definitely a Northeast thing :-) I never heard of it when I was in other parts of the country.

Jerus.4350:

dlonie.6547:

I used to make pizzas at home, too. Sometimes just olive oil and cheese on homemade crust is better than anything you can buy :-)

I’m a fan of Margarita Pizza, which I always felt was someone really being kitten about it. “marinara sauce, naw just throw some tomatoes on there, Ok cheese, ahh shredding is a pain, just take clumps of it and toss it on there wherever, umm whole spinach leaves too, that’s a topping right?” but hey it’s delicious.

mmmm…with some giant kittening basil leaves… drools

Weird. I’m 30 mins from Albany. It’s a northeast thing apparently.

From the state of the game I would say the devs like pizza with nothing on it but a half olive, and a crust filled with shrapnels.

Let’s just use this comment as a segue to… cheese filled crust. drools

Okay, I can actually agree with you on that.

Do you normally disagree with me? O.o

Hehehe.

I want/need pizza now x.x

I meant in regards to pizza and what toppings it should (not) have.

You know I could admit that I once sliced granny smith apples and placed those on my pizza.

Oops.

Heh, done right…that would be pretty good. We had a pear + arugula pizza at a local italian place and it was fantastic. Fruit on pizza == awesomeness, just gotta leave the tomato sauce off (or replace it) if you do it.

I have to agree. When I was in Australia the only food I found acceptable was the Japanese and Vietnamese I ate literally everyday for 3 months. The pizza was pretty awful. But sometimes it was better than the ramen.

HOWEVER… I literally have never had a better pink lady apple than i did in australia. And I’m a total apple snob.

The only way you can get a decent pizza here is if you’re prepared to pay alot for it. You have to go into a classy restaurant, preferably one with a wood fired oven.

Come see me next time you visit :P

Can’t. Sorry. No internet. No netflix. I’d rather shove 5 of the spiders that tried to kill me up my butt.

mhm yeh the internet is really bad T_T. Come see me when you visit canada some time then lol.

Cool! I’m only 3 hours away from canadia.

dlonie.6547:

As OP, I support this thread’s shift in focus, and will follow future developments with great interest.

As for pineapple, I like it better on pizza than raw. It just gets so sweet and juicy…

Also good: spinach, feta, kalamata olive, and tomato. No flavor palette is better than the greeks :-)

I guess you and I are pizza soul mates.

J Eberle.9312:

I like pineapples on my pizza Hawaiian is a big thing in Australia too. I just order a Hawaiian without ham because I don’t like ham. Or better yet I make my own, because pizza made in Australia is disgusting.

Now imagine a pizza crust drenched in oil that tastes like it’s come from the greasy head of a teenager who hasn’t showered in weeks. A cheese topping that has the consistency of rubber and tastes like plastic. ‘Beef’ (although I think they just call it ‘meat’ because god knows what’s in it) that tastes like half defrosted cardboard and crumbles into pieces in your mouth like that one sandwich you left in your bag back in high school for over a month. Ham is usually placed in small rectangular chunks, it’s slimy and tastes as if it’s been fished out of a rotting dumpster. Pepperonis come as a couple of dry and hardened disks that are basically stale. You know when you forget to brush your teeth and that bad plaquey taste/smell settles in your mouth? That’s what eating that pepperoni does to you. Vegetables are soggy and discoloured, as if they have been soaked in some sort of preservative preparation for a couple days beforehand. The sauce? It’s oily as well and you’re lucky if you don’t find any hair in it.

I could go on forever about the sorry excuse for pizza in this country.

Chicken can work. :<

To be fair im a sucker for nice meaty pizzas.

It’s those huge chicken chunks that have gross bits of chewy fat that makes be want to barf. If it’s shredded chicken or small pieces I can deal.

I had a barbecued pulled pork pizza the other day. That was … amazing.

NovaanVerdiano.6174:

J Eberle.9312:

:o Blasphemy!

Pineapple on Pizza is, yep.

Also spoj, I sadly can’t upvote your post enough. Ham is top-tier pizza topping.

Thats why i said you dramatically improve the pizza when you remove the pineapple. Ham on a pizza is fine. Although i prefer bacon or pepperoni.

+10000000000 for pepperoni! I dislike ham.

Things that imo kill a pizza: ham, green peppers, chicken, barely cooked onions, sausage, ground beef, canned mushrooms.

But let’s be frank here not a single Murican, would eat anything with the word Canadian in it. That’s why we don’t eat Canadian bacon.

Greek pizza with feta olives broccoli. Mmmm.

Lately though I’ve been going for white sauce, spinach, portobello, and fresh mozzarella.

spoj.9672:

I honestly have no idea who came up with putting pineapple on pizza. I know so many people who love ham and pineapple pizzas. I just dont get it. Take the pineapple off and the pizza is improved dramatically.

Well it’s incredibly popular in this here Murica, we call it Hawaiian pizza, and it’s a staple at Murican football parties along with buffalo wings and potato chips and dip.

They might just have nostalgia and it blinds them or its just about them being dyeable.

Pineapple pizza with bacon is amazing. Shut yall faces.

The only thing that’s worse than ANet not caring about us is that people don’t mind that ANet isn’t caring at all.

So many people simply do not care about gamebreaking bugs etc., I even had someone go “so what if the aoe indicators aren’t precise? We’re finally getting colored doritos” today… and that isn’t even the worst I saw.

It’s like politics. If congress introduces a higher minimum wage but the Supreme Court upholds the defense of marriage act, there will be people who care far more about what they’re getting (minimum wage) than what they’re losing (right to marry whoever). That’s how it is you know? Even if we think it’s stupid to care about one and not the other, people are people.and they’re six years old.

I know, however this doesn’t make it any better.

I understand. As a person who would rather be on a politics forum than this game but can’t else I literally die from human stupidity, I know it doesn’t make it better. But it’s the world we live in.

I think it is a norn cultural skill

IvanTheGrey.2941:

I understand why you think that my dear. I really do. It truly feels like that however. This is my first MMO, and my first PC game, as I have said many times, and I’ve come into it bright-eyed and bushy tailed. I don’t have the weight of WoW on my shoulders, literally nothing but decades playing Final Fantasy to compare it to. I thought it was awesome. I really did. I got yelled at at times, I got kicked, I got scammed, everything. It didn’t really affect me because I didn’t know what was going on. I’m a fairly intelligent man with a degree in criminal psychology, so I was sort-of equipped to deal with the kittens that we see on the internet, so it didn’t bother me that much, or when it did, I got over it.

Then I started getting INTO the game. Started really running dungeons and Arah. Came into this forum. Learned so much from all the crazy people here. Studied vids, read boards, did some theory crafting (kept it to myself), got pretty decent at the game.

Then the crit damage nerf came for no reason at all. Then we were ignored. How long was that thread that you posted about dungeon bugs? 4-5 pages? I don’t remember. Nothing. Miku (the purple one) posted a similar thing in the bugs forum. It got ignored. Brazil (I think it was Brazil) made a youtube vid of all the exploits in arah (I think it was arah) and sent it to them. Nothing. The slaying potion change was one of the big things that started making me mad. They didn’t do anything until something affected their living story. Then fractal reset (that didn’t affect me as much, but I know it really hurt a lot of my friends on here). They STILL haven’t fixed ranger auto attack. A dev posted in the sPvP forums about ANet’s balancing thought process.

skill changes between game type(WvW, PvE, and PvP) can be hard to understand and cause confusion to some players.
As a mock example, Lets say you play PvE with your awesome build that gives you 5 seconds of fury when you use a skill and your build relies on it being 5 seconds. However, we split that specific skill only in PvP and you go play and realize only after playing a few engagements that it only gives 3 seconds of fury. Then you go to WvW and realize that the skill is back to 5 seconds of Fury.
*How does that player feel?
*What questions is that player going to ask?

• Is this a bug?
• Why is it only different in PvP?
  *Who is going to answer those questions?
  *Are they going to try and seek out someone to answer these questions?
  *Is the person they (if they do ask) going to know the actual reason for this change?
  *Is that player going to stop playing PvP or GW2 all together?
  The simplest change can have a huge effect on a player in any game, and when you start splitting skills and causing inconsistencies on top of balancing multiple game modes it can get a bit crazy for players to keep up.

Anet truly thinks we have the collective intelligence of a 6 year old and are too lazy to balance 3 game modes separately (which they did in GW1 I am led to believe).

They don’t care about anything other than L.S. and PvP.
They don’t have a dungeon team.
They actively try to make classes weaker and weaker.
They balance around PvP no matter how it may affect other game modes.

Yeah, I am miffed about the warrior nerfs, solely because they didn’t make sense. Nerf 100b? Ok… fine. Whatever. Nerf whirlwind attack? Ok, fine. Whatever. We’ll deal. Buff arcing slice at the same time? This just means that they’re actively trying to get people to move away from efficient dungeon running. It just does.

Have I lost hope? Yeah. I think that it’s reasonable for me, someone who really cares about our little dungeon community, for me to have lost hope.

Will I stop playing? Nah. I like teaching too much, and hanging out w/ you guys, and I still have 1 big goal that I’m working towards.

2 things. Look at the majority of posters. They act like 6 year olds. I don’t blame anet for believing that.

I agree that it is semi reasonable for a person in your position to lose hope. But as a person in my position which is similar to your position except for a longer forum presence I can say that it is extremely hard for me to ignore the changes and improvements that have happened since the feature patch. Because of just how long it took for them to do a simple thing, like the arah boat JP. and then the dredge revamp.

4 months ago or more, I was very much like you after Chris Whiteside shot down all conversations about the fractal reset. It gets better. It has been getting better.

Jerus.4350:

I don’t want to add more fuel to the pessimism train, but anyone else reading the posts claiming PVP is being neglected? Most of every balance patch being for them, and $100k+ tournament coming up being neglect? Imagine if they were willing to funnel that kind of attention into more dungeon paths…I mean how awesome could that Rytlock story have been if they had that final story become a full dungeon path as AC4.

While I’ll agree with you I am hesitant to egg on the stupid infighting we certainly have between wvw and pvp and pve, since all have some serious problems which need attention. I agree that the 100k would be better improving the game as a whole. Use that to hire an artist to fix the armor weight discrepancies to get rid of restrictions. Use it to hire a few forum communicators. Use it to pay some or one developer to improve pve AI. There’s a lot they could do with that money.

maha.7902:

ANet balances around group content. Warrior was balanced for group content. The fact that people dispute this blows my mind. Maybe more people will try condition soloing now though.

Well okay. But the videos and proof of warrior supremacy solo, it’s entirely possible that anet chose not to balance around group content in regard to warrior this time. They’re humans not robots, their algorithms can be altered.

IvanTheGrey.2941:

dlonie.6547:

New feature pack for September announced.

Week 1: PvP/WvW
Week 2: pooooosssssssibly new content / polish on old content? Might be something we care about in there. But who’s holding their breath?
Week 3: Looser item bindings?

This is just going to be more nerfs, more L.S. bull crap, more PvP crap, color changing Doritos, more PvP crap. They’ve forgotten about dungeons. Period. The only reason that we got John Smith and Grouch in here is because someone outside of this subforum convinced them to come in. We honestly need to eliminate our expectations, accept the ANet colonoscopy and just enjoy what we’ve got, because let’s face it:

We’re not getting anything else.

Oh my.

I love you. But this response is… I just can’t even.

It’s so depressed. So defeated. So pessimistic it hurts my core.

I don’t think we should all be optimistic about dungeons becuase sure, there has been a lack of attention. But I mean, we’ve seen things change recently. We’ve seen bug fixes, dredge fix, fractal changes, boss changes, and whether you like the changes or not… it’s attention. To say that we do not have any hope… wow. We have hope. I am sure more things will change, slowly, and I bet they will include things we hate like lupi not being reflectable and other nonsense, but it might also include things we really love.

Don’t take a nerf to a single class that you enjoy as the end of tyria as we know it. Nobody in their right mind can say warrior was well balanced with other classes in pve. Anet is doing what they feel is right, and whether they’re right or wrong, to go into it with that attitude WILL BE a self fulfilling prophecy.
