Guild Wars 2

To those telling him to use the harvesting tools… he already adressed that (shows how much some people read before they post xD):

Geotherma.2395:

I do use my BL tools, I use that many in about a month and replenish again-because I can. So yes all those items rotate in and out as i make new characters

I’m not quite sure; but I think you should actually be able to map skill 1 to your mousebutton.

It’s wrong that you can play FPS-games with only 4 keys + mouse. Well, you can. But you can also play GW2 with 4 (well… 5) keys haha. Let’s see… four keys for movement, a key to jump, a key to crouch/lay down, a key to sprint, a key for grenades, a key to activate the scope, a key to reload ammo, a key to change between fire-frequency, a key to use nightvision goggles or maybe binoculars, a key to interact… I’m sure there can be more; depending on the game.

Oh and yes, I find the controls of GW2 to be quite easy. Though I have remapped a few things (the most important being dodge to mouse 3 (wheel)). I’ve played some Splinter Cell games, a bit of Raven Shield and also Battlefield 2 on my computer (oh, and Far Cry 3 too; but that was after I started with GW2). The only MMORPG I’ve played before was Ragnarok Online, which is quite different from GW2. Of course you could argue that you (can) actually use 36 keys there just for skills, consumables and fast equipment-changes… but it’s still much more different from GW2 than FPS-games are.

It’s because of what you get if you take a “t” and add “its”. Stuff like ’ actually manages to fool the filter; thus “it’s” doesn’t toggle it. That’s why I also don’t understand why they made the filter trigger on unwanted words with spaces in between… after all, it’s still possible to write those words with adding other stuff between letters, and all it does is messing up normal sentences.

Defcon.8509:

Hey guys, good info, but I need to point out that you’re not answering his question.

He’s asking about shattered conditions, not the boon removal trait, shattered concentration.

I don’t have much experience with either, so hopefully someone with more will chime in.

Lol; I was gonna say the same thing when I began reading the thread.

Well; as far as I know, you lose one condition for each clone shattered. That means up to 4 conditions removed with each shatter (doesn’t matter which one). I have no idea how much the range for allies is, though… I’d guess it’s not too far; maybe around 200 units or something. Meaning that allies would get one condition removed for every clone that shatters near/next to them.

Panicore.9035:

Actually I remember one guy having an intressting point at this “issue”. He said, scamming, thieving or what ever you want to call it, could actually be a role you take on as a player. After all you´re playing RPG fantasy game so I think the point is valid and the players who scam or thiev dont really brake any rules since they are after all using the “mechanics” that are at our disposal.

Negative. If you role play a theif then you ‘pretend’ to steal. If you are actually misleading players into sending you items through the mail with the promise to send them something in return you ARE a theif, you are not role playing one.

Dont really know how to respond to this without making it more complicated then it really is. If you steal you´re a thief no matter what. In real life there is legislation to stop it. In GW2 there are no formal rules afaik that tell you not to steal. If you can take advantage over the system that ArenaNet has given us to steal items from people I dont see that as something illegal, and yea you´re a thief in an RPG game. Thats what initially pointed out.

“While playing Guild Wars 2, you must respect the rights of others and their rights to play and enjoy the Game. To this end, you may not defraud, harass, threaten, embarrass or cause distress and/or unwanted attention to other players.”

I think that covers it pretty well.

However; the only chance I see for the OP to get his items back is if he can provide detailed screenshots where both players agree to the trade. But I also think Anet generally doesn’t support mail-trading, so he/she’ll just have to live with the loss. Mail-trading is always risky, unless you know the other person very well.

IndigoSundown.5419:

Only problem with this theory is that in many “fantasy” settings, thieves get a hand removed as punishment for their crime. If you support thieving as a play-style to emulate a genre, then you should also support the consequence. In this case that would mean no more two handed weapons and no more off hand weapon. Sounds like justice to me.

xD

…and I’d just like to add once more that if you go with the tallest female, you will in fact be taller than most males… since not all who play a male character will chose to make it as tall as possible.

So, as I stated in my earlier post here, it’s exactly like in real life: The tallest woman is still a bit smaller than the tallest man. However, the tallest woman will be taller than most men.

A friend invited me to try out Guild Wars 2 during the free trial “weekend” when the Lost Shores event was. Obviously, I’d chose the server he was (and still is) on and landed on Far Shiverpeaks.

And well… I neither have a reason nor do I have any intention to change to another server. I like it, and I also like the community.

I don’t really see why you would want to block words that are separated by a space anyway. I mean, if I want to write “who recognizes this character?”, I will have to avoid the filter with “who|recognizes” or something similar… but I could also do that to call someone a who|re if I wanted to (not like I’d do such a thing). That means filtering swear-words with spaces in between doesn’t prevent anyone from actual swearing/insulting, but it makes normal sentences hard to read because there’s kitten around every other corner.

Edit: Apparently, the “who recognizes” problem was indeed fixed; but I think there are still more words where stuff like this can happen.

Troll.4237:

If terror gets nerfed by 50-60%, I’m still going to chain fear you until your dead just to make you cry even more and request that fear should be completely removed.

Currently I’m running: 0,30,20,0,20
That will probably change to: 30,20,0,30 with runes of the necro just so I can get the longest fear duration possible. Oh I’ll also get giver’s stats on my weapons for +20% condition duration.

Am I really the first person to wonder how he’ll get 80 trait points?

It’s one of the rewards in the new Achievement Reward System, you can permanently add 10 extra trait points to any character on your account.

Lol; that would be hilarious.

The race in question is called humans. HUMANS. Yes, that’s what we are; they are based on rl-humans. In real life, women can be taller than men. Sure. Actually, my main character is a human female, and I’ve made her quite tall… not max-size, but tall. And guess what; she’s taller than most human males. Sounds familiar? However, the tallest males would be taller than me even if I would play the tallest female… human anatomy is just like that irl (which is what ingame-humans are based on) as well. The tallest rl-man is taller than the tallest rl-woman. Same counts for average size.

So yeah; I don’t see any problem here.

I’d also like to add that I can’t think of any mammal where the female generally is taller than the male. And since all GW2-races so far are mammals (except the Sylvari; but the pale tree designed them after humans)… go figure why the size choices are like they are.

Funny how there’s a new thread about an incoming terror-nerf almost every day, when there maybe won’t even be a terror-nerf.

One (or maybe two) topic(s) would be enough. Anet might just think “oh everyone seems to expect us to nerf terror; so why don’t we just do it then” if they see a bazillion threads discussing it.

As already stated; it works. I’ve just done it like a week or two ago, and my Mesmer (who’s with the Priory) can now wear two pieces of Whispers-armor when I switch to a powerbuild.

Hm well; I’m using 7/6 centaur runes, so…

…I’ve got perma-swiftness under water if I use mirror as a heal.

But without those runes, you can indeed only place your bet on spear 2 and 4, and I’m not sure how much faster you actually are while using those. I think you are a bit faster, but not a lot. Mainly because you need to cast those skills first, which makes you stop and takes a while.

Lol, nice xD. ^^

Holy kitten! And all the other cats. This video is awesome! =D

Also, lol @the Milka-cow… and all the other funny stuff in it. And yay for the epicness as well as a really good choice of music. ^^

Edit:

I wish you all the best; and yeah, I hope that’s gonna be true what Mirta said. Either way; even if your story makes me feel sad, I also feel glad that you were able to somehow make up your mind enough to chose that you’ll now do more things that you’d otherwise have done “somewhen later in your life”. It may make for some of the best experiences in your life; who knows. I really wish you that you will be able to experience many more years (AT LEAST that decade the doctor was talking about), full of joy and moments that will make you smile whenever you think back. Take care, and enjoy your life!

Dasboba.1652:

Seeing as how they’ve never addressed the issue that condition reduction food/runes have always been more powerful that their condition duration counterpart, I imagine what you say will be true Rennoko.

That’s actually wrong; they are equal. Rennoko made two threads about it (after testing) not so long ago.

Nicely done.

Well, I also think that dodging after jumping would feel weird (and yes, I know how to do both at the same time; even though it’s quite useless and just for fun or when I’m bored). What doesn’t feel weird at all, but also completely defies physics is that you can change directions while jumping, and thus jump around corners. Actually, you can even move backwards midair after you jumped forwards… ^^

My first MMORPG (and actually the only MMORPG besides GW2 I’ve played) was Ragnarok Online, on a private (and thus free to play) server. A lowrate one. Without any pay2win items and without having any wipes (that’s what we always were very proud of). I’ve played that game a lot, for many years. The server was quite successful, and had between 1 and 2k players at | its peak. I also became a forum mod at some point, and again later applied to become a GM, and even more later I got promoted to Senior GM. On a sidenote; you can believe me that posting screenshots as evidence when a banned botter brings up the excuse “it was my little brother playing” never gets old.

For those who don’t know it, Ragnarok Online is from Korea. And yes, there’s a lot of grind in it. A LOT. Your main means of leveling is by killing mobs, and you kill lots of them, and you kill even more the higher your level becomes. You’d usually try to mob them and kill them with AoE; be it in a party or solo. While the max-level is 99, you needed the same amount of exp from 95-99 like you needed from 1-95. And then comes rebirth… oh well. Oh; not to mention that droprates of 0,02% for the good stuff were quite common. Meaning you could get something with the first kill, or you could kill 20000 of the same monster and you still didn’t get the drop. All about luck. Oh, and I didn’t mention yet that you needed to (or at least should have to) use consumables (especially potions) while participating in War Of Emperium. Hmmhmm… there’s so much more that I could tell. Epic moments in WoE, or while partying. Or that I found friends with whom I’m still in contact and still meet irl from time to time. Or that at some point I’ve fallen in love with a girl who lives 12000 km away from me and I’ve actually visited her. Too bad it had to end after almost a year… it was awesome (despite the distance; though I think it was one of the factors that led to breaking up). Uhm… so many memories. ^^

And well, then came GW2. I actually got invited during the Lost Shores event (free trial) by a fellow GM. I was hesitant at first, but then decided to give it a try. I remember how my first character was a Norn, and how he showed me the Troll’s End jumping puzzle… and how I’ve spent around 5 hours (over two days) trying to finish it; all because the camera made it impossible to see anything. Nowadays I usually do it in a few minutes, haha. With a Human; but I tried it once with a Norn again and it also was a lot easier for me than back then. So well… obviously, I’ve decided to buy the game and sticked around ever since. I really like GW2 a lot. I love how rich the world feels; the nice story and lore (yes, I actually liked the personal story); the fact things like “killstealing”, “mobdropping” or “leveling by killing a bazillion mobs” simply don’t exist; that I’m playing for a couple of months already and there’s still so many things which I didn’t see yet, so many things yet to explore… and new stuff keeps coming with an incredible speed.

So yeah… while I really like to think back of the good old times in RO, and there’s also still stuff there I didn’t have a chance to do yet (after playing it for around 7 or 8 years), I simply wouldn’t be able to play it actively anymore. Too much grind; too much time-investment needed. But the memories of what felt like home for me are awesome.

GW2 is awesome. I do not and do not want to directly compare those two games, since they were made in a completely different era. They are also… well, different; haha. I’ve got many nice memories from RO; but now I’m enjoying Guild Wars 2.

Sorry for that long post, and sorry if I’ve repeated myself at some point. I just felt like I can’t make it any shorter.

Hmmm; not gonna list names of my own chars, because while those names usually have a meaning (which might be surprising), they aren’t that obvious and thus prolly not as funny.

So uhm, I’ve seen quite a few quite epic names. However, the only ones I can remember right now are the names of two Asura I’ve seen standing around in the mists (not at the same time). One was named “Dont Belittle Me” and the other one “Wish I Was Quaggan”.

Darkorical.9213:

I know its been a while but another conversation made me return to this thought. I was in TS with some people and there was a bit of an argument about how to do a dungeon at one point one guy (who plays a charr) said to woman (who played a sylvari)

“Why don’t you shut your knot hole you no good salad head”

To which we all laughed, thinking this was an attempt to break tension and move on. The woman playing the sylvari then started again explaining her idea for what should be done. and was quickly interrupted by the charr player again who quite gruffly and obviously not joking this time said

“I said shut your G**D**** mouth you F****ing salad bowl. Why don’t you go roll a real toon instead of some hippy F**s lunch.”

At this point all of us were quite shocked and taken back. When we tried to call him out he claimed that he was just RPing and we should chill out since it was just a game…. and at that we all left his TS and went on to other things.

It may be “just a game”. It may have been “in character” but I tell you what else it was it was hurtful. Mean and no less disturbing than real world racism

The line between funny “racism” and real racism was crossed when that Charr player began to actually swear and when he told the Sylvari “to roll a real toon”. That can’t be excused with roleplaying, since excessive swearing and insulting is simply inexcusable and also because the Sylvari didn’t roll any toon. A Sylvari is not rolling toons. It’s the player that rolled one, and thus it obviously wasn’t roleplayed, but directed at the player behind the character. Real racism and player disrespect of any kind should be punished accordingly to the severity of the offence.

That being said, I have no problem with the “racism” as it currently is in the game. I actually find it to be quite amusing. It’s for entertainment. No bad intentions there. In the Sylvari personal story where you deal with evil Hylek, your character actually also makes jokes similar to “Yes, we were toad-ally surprised by that.” (I don’t remember the exact wordings, but I had a good laugh). Thing is, it’s not racism if it’s meant in a joking way. People and races should be able to laugh about themselves. As long as it’s not meant in a discriminating and really racist way, it’s okay. It’s funny, as long as it’s not overdone. Also, while some characters in the game really seem to be biased, it’s also always made clear that others don’t like that attitude and sometimes even try to open their eyes. What you also see in game is groups actively working on bringing the races together; the three orders being the most famous examples, I guess. It’s clearly shown in the game that you can achieve way more if you work together instead of against eachother.

So again. The “racism” in the game isn’t problematic in any way. It’s implemented just fine. It makes for some funny moments too, and gives the world some additional depth.

Edit: Haha, Sitkaz has beaten me with the comment about the toon-rolling part while I was typing all that.

I wasn’t aware that you can even visit it. I thought it was only possible to enter the village during the story-instance back then (since I couldn’t see any other way to get in during Flame & Frost)… o.o

Firebaall.5127:

Ayrilana.1396:

You’re participating in WvW. Doing the jumping puzzle contributes nothing. You could easily farm 100+ badges an hour before the nerf.

You can easily farm as many zergtarding per hour.

That may be true for tier 1; dunno. But for me, jumping puzzles are BY FAR the fastest and most efficient way to get badges. When I zerg or run with a guild group, I get maybe 20 badges in two hours. If I’m lucky, that is. Simply because you don’t always get lootbags for kills, and in most of the lootbags there are no badges anyway. I remember getting a pile of around 10-15 lootbags while using an arrowcart… and getting like one badge out of them. Which in turn would mean that for 20 badges I’d need 100 kills (if you double the rate from that example). And that’s pretty much impossible… at least from what I’ve seen.

Maybe I’m just terribly unlucky with badge-drops ever since I started playing WvW, though.

Carighan.6758:

Did you know that if you write ‘a’ before the ‘5s’ above, apparently the word filter hates you?

Lol. The filter knows 1337-speak.

Kasmeer. <3

I really like her. Very nice character. Also, sexy, pretty but not cheap at all. Instead, always has that classy/noble touch… but without looking arrogant or snobbish or anything. Beautiful. Very well done.

^^

Lol, I’ve only listened to it twice (and I won’t do it a third time, because I have no intention to watch another 30 seconds of commercials for some US TV shows and stuff first). But if I’m right, the only part that’s exactly the same is the phrase “a whiff of ozone”. Wow. That’s 4 words. Totally stole them! ~rollseyes~

Also, I’ve never seen or heard of that movie. Unless it’s the one which starts with the family getting a huge christmas tree… then I’ve seen parts of it around half a year ago.

/facepalm

Maul.3284:

Cool story. I’m not speaking about other elites here I’m specifically talking about MOA.

Every other Elite is far more useful than Moa, because Moa is useless. Your argument is invalid.

Maul.3284:

Regardless of what all you pro-moa clowns are saying this thread is addressed to the devs – any skill that removes all abilities (even utilities) for the victim renders the toon a sitting duck for 10 seconds. The 5 ability has also been nerfed.. Since you guys are so focused on balancing the game in the next patch why dont you give thieves ballisk venom a 10 second buff and remove the ability to use a stun break because pretty much that has the same effect as a MOA. While you’re at it give eles the ability to turn people into a block of ice that removes all their abilities. for 10 seconds.

Just throwing out ridiculous abilities that don’t belong in the game so you can see how ridiculous this ability is.

To say it using your words: Regardless of what ridiculous things you anti-moa clown say. Moa will still be useless. Also, your suggestions are hilarious. While you’re a Moa, you can still move. You even get a skill that lets you run away. While you’re under the effects of basilisk venom (without being able to stunbreak it), or while you would be an ice block, you can not move an inch. You can do NOTHING. While you’re a Moa, you can freely run around and you even get a skill that lets you run away faster.

Deified.7520:

I have an auto elixir S skill that pops it by itself. He bursted me so down so quickly it didn’t pop. I know the internal CD on it and I know that it was off of CD.

Well, that’s probably because such traits pop if you’re hit under a certain percentage of HP. Seeing that the backstab did 15k damage, you were very likely at 50% or above before… and not around 25%.

But yeah, the only thing you can do is try to react fast… after you get hit by steal or the C&D, dodge and try to get out of reach. Heal if necessary and begin fighting back. It’s not easy, but doable with some practice.

If I remember right, an Anet staff member has already stated that it’s perfectly fine to use it. You might find that post if you search for it.

I myself heavily prefer using alt+tab. It’s very fast and nothing blocks my view.

CureForLiving.5360:

The issue with the Karka Queen is that it doesn’t have a set spawn time like other world bosses. Player most likely choice to spend their time on other bosses which they know will spawn at a particular time so they can maximise their play time instead of standing around waiting for something to happen.

I thought she will spawn like uhm, once every hour or every two hours if all the settlements are under player control.

ASB.4295:

I always thought Ascalon is located near the gaza strip in Israel. Huh.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashkelon

Lol. Also, wow that place actually looks nice. Too bad it’s kinda dangerous to live there… I guess.

On a sidenote, I just remembered something you may like:

Yeah, that’s Europe in the spring. So I’m on my Grand Tour of Europe and by Germany, I can hear the background music while I’m walking around the ruined castles.

Where was that? I’m almost certain I’ve seen the exact same structor. Was it near Trier?

Google image search says it’s near Heidelberg.

Chesire.9043:

Where did I say it was OP in my post exactly and why did you quote my post specifically when there are plenty of other people posting about how them getting it is completely unwarranted?

Chesire.9043:

Let’s hope that Mesmers and Thieves getting Torment was also removed.

Why would you want them to not get it if you wouldn’t think that it would make them too powerful (aka OP)? And you said it in such a way that made it look like everyone agrees with you on that, and that it actually would be really bad if they get it. So I took the freedom to tell you to get your facts straight, and that the way it would apparently be implemented for Thieves and Mesmers won’t make much of a difference. Some even say no Thief with half a brain would want to use it, aside from PvE maybe. But yeah… according to you we should all hope they won’t get it, because it would totally break the game and they would become too powerful…

Chesire.9043:

I would also like to know how “hoping” that the two strongest professions in the game don’t get a shiny new toy is the same as “crying”

1. There’s no such thing as a “strongest profession”.
2. That toy wouldn’t be nearly as shiny as you think. For Mesmers it might have an average color, and for Thieves it would probably be quite rusty and unappealing. If it gets added like described in those leaked notes, that is.

Chesire.9043:

when clearly other professions need more attention to begin with.

Maybe you’ve missed it, but there are big changes made to every single profession in the game.

Chesire.9043:

Or… were you just wanting to troll and decided to pick the first post you read?

I already explained why I’ve picked your post. And no, I’m not trolling. I’m probably the last person in this forum who would want to troll people.

Xavori.3768:

I’m also thinking Long Reach getting Steal to 1500 + Sleight of Hand going to 2s stun on steal + lowered recharge time on steal might be a bit much to all pile together. Yes, everyone has access more stun breakers, and most of them will have lower recharge than Steal even after the change,

I’m not eactly familiar with how much the Trickery line reduces the recharge time of Steal, but if the formula on the discussion page of the wiki is correct, Thieves could end up using Mug every 21 seconds. That’s damage+shadowstep+stolen item+more than 2k heal every 21 seconds. Quite nice for Thieves (if they build that way, that is).

Chesire.9043:

Let’s hope that Mesmers and Thieves getting Torment was also removed.

You do realize that the way they would get it (if it’s added like described in those patchnotes) is far from being OP, right? Actually, many people called it completely useless.

But why do I even wonder. There will always be people crying about stuff without even looking at the facts first. After all, crying is so much more fun (apparently).

pullnointer.1476:

…properly hit an opponent or when a player is fumbling, which is caused by weakness condition and some other effects. Glancing blows deal 50% less damage. Critical hits cannot glance.

:D

See it this way: If you’re weakened, you might still land a good-aimed hit, but it will still have less impact (than it would normally have) as you can’t hit as hard… due to being weakened. So yes, it does make perfect sence for me. Just the actual glancing-message doesn’t… but you can ignore that. The mechanic itself makes perfect sense.

Shanna.4762:

And you’d be correct about that. Kryta is inspired by the Mediterranean so Spain, France, Austria albeit it is important to note that those regions have lot’s of dark haired but light skinned people, but they do also have lot’s of very tan skinned people as well….

I think you mean Italy. Austria doesn’t even have a coast. Neither does it have krytan-looking natives. ^^

Portugal, Spain, maybe southern France, Italy… Greece too maybe.

Kasmeer. <3

I like the females of all races. There are good and bad ones in each race as well. Obviously, the Charr females are physically the least attractive, simply due to the fact that they have the least similarity with humans. But they’ve got some nice characters as well, and they can look quite cute… especially a female charr doing the /sleep emote just looks so adorable haha. Place 4 would be Asura I guess. I’ve seen female Asura which are VERY pretty imo. I’ve also seen really cute ones, and some that are both. But obviously, one would feel a bit pedo I guess… and the sharp teeth (which I think they have, but you never really see them) would scare me a bit hahaha. Not going into details here. ;P Then, on place 3 we’ve got Sylvari. There are Sylvari which actually are quite pretty; some even hot. What I’m sometimes wondering is, how the “skin” of a Sylvari feels like. Is it like tree bark? Or more like soft leaves? Whatever. Place 2 are Norn. There are really good-looking ones, and the only disadvantage might be their size. I mean… imagine her being two times as tall as you. Or at least 50% taller. Meh. Then the obvious, humans on place 1. Simply because they are from the same race. Of course I’ve seen human females where I’d say that I’ve seen Norn, Sylvari or even Asura which look prettier. But still… generally spoken, humans are the best fit.

I’m aware that this listing may be a bit silly and also not really answering the question of the topic. But that’s because I can’t answer that one. Each race has really nice female characters… also mind you, beauty isn’t only defined by physical appearance. It’s a part of it, but not the only one. I wouldn’t be able to make a ranking based on attractiveness… because each race has pretty females and you simply can’t compare their attractiveness (due to being from different races). Instead, I provided my ranking of “likelihood of a relationship if it would be possible”. ^^

KrisHQ.4719:

Well. The fifth Death Shroud skill has a different name in the leaked patchnotes as opposed to the blog post.
The patchnotes are also written with worse grammar and composition than previous patch notes.
However, there are plenty of fixes which leads me to believe that these patchnotes are an early version of what is to come. Something the devs have used for internal use.
Since these patchnotes the Death Shroud skill has gotten a new name, and therefore we might also see other changes.

I’d say it’s safe to assume they are a good indication of what we can expect, but we should take lightly on specific changes.

Sebulon.7683:

Someone went through a lot of trouble to make them, so I think they are real.

If they are fake, then that troll deserves a medal.

Those two pretty much sum up my opinion about those patchnotes.

Randulf.7614:

One does not simply walk through an Asura Gate..

xD

Hmmhmm, then I guess I’m not one. Maybe I’ve got a splitted personality? o.o

I always just walk through normally.

Uhm, my first character was a Thief, but my main is a Mesmer. I still play the Thief sometimes of course (like my other characters), but my Mesmer is the only character I have that is at lvl 80. And I’m playing since october… so yeah. Well.

I’ve sticked to Mesmer because I like the gameplay, I like the concept of confusing my opponents, of making them regret that they messed with me… also, many of the skills are two-sided… good for me, bad for you. I like that concept. I may not look that strong, but once you attack me, you’ll not know anymore if you can still trust your mind.

Another thing I’d like to mention is, that I play females and males (irl I’m male), and I ALWAYS play a good person. I can’t be evil. I can’t. For example in Fable 1, I wanted to try playing an evil character (after playing some good ones)… yet, I did/could never chose the evil option during quests (for example I didn’t kill my friend in the arena), and I ended up “provoking” guards so they attacked me and I could slaughter tons of them (hey, THEY attacked ME) to get the evil looks. For some reason, I didn’t continue playing that char. So yeah… I can’t play evil. I’m not evil. I would only ever resort to something evil if it would be absolutely necessary for some reason. If I play a char that’s supposed to have an evil background or something, I try to play it in a way of “my powers are evil, but I use them for the good side”. Hmmmhm. I think that sounds silly to some of you. ^^

I also tend to spend quite some time with chosing a name for my characters. I want them to fit the personality and story I associate with this character.

Lol.

Uhm… I’m playing since october, and I think I always just walked through normally.

Do they look underpaid in the video?

Yes: some don’t even have shoes! :P

As we know, that doesn’t have to mean anything. Queen Jennah doesn’t wear shoes either. Even though I’ve personally never noticed that (neither would I mind it)… but people use(d) to say so. ^^

That was a joke… I thought the “:P” would be self-explanatory. Apparently not.

It was. But I also thought it’s obvious that my answer isn’t meant in a bad way. If it was, I wouldn’t have mentioned Queen Jennah, but called you out (kinda) for thinking only poor people don’t wear shoes (sometimes). Maybe I should have written it like “But… but… Queen Jennah doesn’t wear shoes either! So it doesn’t have to mean anything! I guess… o.o”

Some people like cats. Like the young lady in my short story below:

Every night before she would fall asleep, Cindy would lie on her bed and gently play with her kitten. It was always the same, the kitten was timid at first – shy to the touch, but the more she played with her kitten the more her kitten enjoyed it.

You see? Cindy likes her kitten.

Lmao.

Haha; I think I’ve read something similar to this before. ^^

The latest example I’ve noticed is, if you want to express that some rune-combination gives you a shorter boon-duration as another one… it gives less | boon-duration… kitten on-duration.

Seriously; to describe women that love women (is that even a bad word?) it would have on s too much.

On the funny side, I sometimes find myself using “kitten” while thinking, and being tempted to actually use the word even when there’s no filter. And that comes from a guy who almost never curses (and if I do, then not really bad).

Oh and I just remembered… our server’s forum… one person said “I’m a kitten” and another one replied something like “not sure if actual kitten or word so foul that it even got censored over here”.

Hm well; I think I could switch Epidemic in instead of WoS when I have to fight at range. Talking about which; in fights where I have to stay at a long range I will/would probably use a staff with a Sigil of Strength instead of dagger/warhorn.

Rennoko.5731:

EDIT: It is also horribly buggy…. i can literally equip a weapon with the sigil, have it work, equip another weapon with the same sigil, and the sigil does nothing… I hate it when the game does things like this with no rhyme or reason….

I feel a bit bad for asking this, since I think you surely know about it… but uhm… fear was the only condition on the target when you tested this, right?

TheAgedGnome.7520:

First, you don’t say what these builds are for: PVE,PvP or WvW?

Mainly PvE I guess. Maybe some WvW too (then probably adding a staff for group/zerg-fights… just because of the range and AoE. Maybe even get a second set for a condition-build… who knows).

TheAgedGnome.7520:

One misleading thing on that calculator is that it acts as if the Dark Armor trait is active. So, the toughness on the Power build is really only 1375 when not channeling.

I know; I’ve mentioned it in my post.

TheAgedGnome.7520:

I prefer Epidemic over the WoS, but that’s just my personal choice.

Well, Epidemic is quite useless in a power-build; mainly because I don’t stack any damaging conditions myself and I also don’t have much condition damage. Of course I could epidemic vulnerability and chill, or even immobilize… haha actually, that sounds quite funny. But I’m afraid the practical uses are very limited, and I can really use that additional AoE-damage from the well.

TheAgedGnome.7520:

The second build is interesting; hard to tell how effective it would be in practice.

Yeah, I’ve got the same problem.
