…are good to escape a harsh blizzard by cutting them open and climbing inside?
Umm, yeah, you can do that, but just from personal experience, take off your T3 cultural armour or your not getting out of that Dolyak again any time soon. I just grab three more Dolyaks, one to eat and the other three stacked up as shelter

Well then to a lesser degree you would have to change the one time event achievements as well. I don’t deem it as such important, it will basically show you at one point who’s been playing for a longer time.

Not sure which of my characters to give these to. Don’t really care for the fiery effects.
/e Clara: Where’s the Frost!
Maybe there’s something Frosty when it’s all over?
It’s going to be a helmet with an ice-cube container to keep a cool head.
Yeah, I kinda made a decision and appointed one char to “main”, the other 4x 80’s are stationary farmers to be logged in once a day and the 4x sub 80 are on halt, maybe I’ll level them here and there a bit.

Some dynamic events are harder then others and some are even labeled to be group events. Other than that learn to disengage – tactical retreat – and strike again (edit: I do some events like that with a bunch of mobs, not always possible, some dynamic events can fail). Movement, dodging is the main key. Also perhaps try some other weapons, sometimes it just clicks and from then on it goes easier.

Have to chime in here and say I liked it very much! Good experience. Enjoyed the experiment part the most, for some reason it made me think of the laser trap in resident evil…

That’s quite a list of achievements. If you are looking for a bigger/ better goal, I’d suggest farming blues/greens, and going for the top tier for Agent of Entropy
Agent of Entropy is infinite. There’s no top tier.
I know this. It’s called humor :P
I thought it was capped at 250 times (so as to not skew achievement boards). Or 250 points, just seem to remember 250 in conjunction with a dev post on this.
Don’t thank me, thank Stephen Fry – the guy’s a genius – I’m just the messenger.
Oh boy. I read this and I though “Philip J. Fry is a genius? I have to see this.”
You can imagine my initial shock, which however I have to say turned into six minutes well spent. Bravo.

Can you specify the question, it’s rather broad.
You can always learn something by using a smaller simplified model, you just have to be careful about interpreting what you believe you learnt.
Question(s):
Does it, or does it not affect economical decisions that the participation at all is voluntary?
Does the virtual economy serve the same purpose as the real economy?

With the price of ectos going down – in relation to the vendor price of the greens – will that be still interesting? What’s the “percentage” of getting a rare in the MF (approx, gut feeling)?

Edit:
On Topic:
1) I don’t see how you will be able to get back up again in solo PvE – does not sound good.
2) Doesn’t every profession have some traits to improve revival? Could be interesting though.

A quaggan dies every time Mr Smith has to explain and or see the word inf… I’ll save one, just this once.
Well, just a thought here, instead of explaining maybe it’s time to change people’s perception. You can say “it’s working as intended” all the time, but if the topic still keeps popping up and you are getting annoyed by it (paraphrasing, don’t remember what the exact words were) then maybe you should start doing something.
Not trying to be negative, just pointing out that there obviously is room for improvement – if not in functionality (because it works perfect) then in form and presentation.

(…) SAB is a dream gig for our little team, and most companies would say no to such an off-the-wall idea. The fact that we put it out there is testament to Anet’s desire to innovate and try new things rather than resting on our laurels and regurgitating the same thing over and over. So even if you don’t like this particular experiment, I hope that you can appreciate the impulse that made it possible; (…)
Absolutely! It did not have a strong replay value for myself but I had a lot of fun experiencing it in the first place and I laughed and had a big smile on my face. So thanks to the team in general – keep enjoying what you are doing and keep true to your vision of things. I might not always agree but on the other hand I never wrote authors I liked letters on how this or that paragraph in their book was mediocre etc.
Keep it up

Only one person could answer that.
Personally I would like to express my interest in an update about this, I don’t think that’s too impatient after two months. Not sure if I should imagine that a “design” has been fleshed out so far or if everything is still hold together with pins on the board, be it a real board or virtual

Assuming there was no shift in the demand for precursors, price went up because either 1. the price hasn’t reached equilibrium yet or 2. the supply dropped.
I think the assumption that there was no shift in demand might be a big one. I have no evidence, but it seems like demand would climb over time as players start to complete other goals and accumulate materials to craft a legendary.
Sure. The third option is that more people want them and the supply stays the same, therefore the price rises.
Supply should have gone up since about two months ago according to Colin.
Precursors. A little while ago there was mention that there were going to be other ways to get hold of precursors, like through the scavenger hunt.
Colin: Someday yes.
Someday. So no plans for the immediate future?
Colin: We’ve thrown in a few more RNG ways to get them, like random chances for places they could go in the game recently, but that’s not the real solution. That’s just a “hey lets just increase the number of places people can earn them at this point”. The fixes for qualifying for loot that will go in the February release will also increase the chances you can get precursors ‘cause it means you have a higher chance of rolling for loot in every creature that you kill. Which means you have a higher chance of getting a precursor. So that will help as well. But long term we’d like to do something that’s a little bit more epic, where there’s a clear path of “here’s everything you need to do and when you complete it, you automatically get a precursor.” We’re not working on that right now, we’re really trying to design what that would be, but yeah certainly at some point we will create a system that allows you to do that.
The checkpoint activates the first time the wind blows, but you must die and retry at the checkpoint. If you bandage yourself back up after falling off and teleporting to the start of the story, you’ll have to run it again. I don’t see how it’s possible to be forced to retry 60 times unless you’re choosing not to allow yourself to die.
Perhaps because it’s not truly intuitive? I would have never thought to not rally after being teleported to the beginning in a downed state.
I don’t think I missed an ingame direction for this(?).

Not “hoping” for anything really, but if then I would tend to like the idea of something non-tradeable, perhaps just an emote, making my character blow into a noisemaker.

I’d almost wager that indeed a lot of people bought the mining pick.
As to whether or not they are going on a mining rampage to see the animation … hehe (well I mined a few extra mithril, not that that influenced anything).
The sell volume apparently increased for ori according to spidy.

(…) Either way, I wanted to complete the journey of making a legendary item; I just don’t get any personal feeling of pride from showing it off, so it wasn’t worth it for me to keep it. (…)
Could you imagine anything differently – so that you might have wanted to keep it?

Yes, like the box. They might introduce something like that, but useful or more rewarding
More rewarding in what way? Regardless of what our personal preference is, it offers:
4 unique tonics – pretty rare chance
1 unique mini – almost too high drop chance
rare materials – lower drop chance
karma – well, potentially useful if you want to give it to another char
certain amount of “guaranteed” coin (average 1G per 100k? I forget)
I’m just thinking it’s a pretty well rounded offer and it fit’s the bill being a “karma-sink” as well.

I am humbled and honored. I am certain it was a very close shave and I want to extend my hand to the other competitors and let them know – never give up. Hard work will pay off eventually, just stay true to yourself.
But enough before I bore everyone – Edusd, I always like to present options for maximum inspiration, so here they shall be, door one to three:
1. Behold my asuran Ranger and his Hound.
2. This fascinated me, my guardian was transformed into a risen – he got brand new tattoos with it. Don’t recall seeing a risen from you yet
3. Lion’s are overrated. Image the lions arch fountain with a warthog!
Hope something in there might sound like fun!
