Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone.

I was discussing the Norn dance with my husband and some of my guildies last night and we hit upon an interesting idea about it.

Yes, part of the dance is the Carlton that everyone is referring to, but we thought the reference is too old for today’s young and hip players.

What if it is actually the “Lonely Boy” dance by The Black Keys? You know, that viral music video where they ended up just filming the security guard instead doing everything else they planned. According to the guard the dance is a mash up of moves from John Travolta from Saturday Night Fever and Pulp Fiction, the Carlton Banks dance from The Fresh Prince and a little bit of Michael Jackson.

It seems to match up fairly well with the in game animations but I suck (and so does the rest of my guild) in syncing up the moves/videos with the Lonely Boy music clip.

Can any talented people out there confirm if we are in the ballpark with this?

The Norn Dance is only part Carlton. It’s actually a mash of the clip from Lonely Boy by The Black Keys.

Having problems doing our personal story as a party of two. Me and my husband are both doing the Order of Whispers line and are both up to the same point. However, neither of us can join in with the other on any personal story quest. Just the owner of the story goes in and leaves the other outside in the dust.

Server: Henge of Denravi
Map: Any of them (at the moment it’s Lions Arch)
Party: 2
Quest we are currently up to: Reconnissance (as I post this)

- I see him on the map
- I see him in game
- Ability to join in overflow/main map is not present
- Join in instance window does not appear.

I would like to draw your attention to a problem with the clarity of text when using the “small” setting on the interface size when it comes to reading the Black Lion Trading Post.

I run the game on 1900×1200 res on my desktop and on my laptop but I like my interface small, so I set it to small from the options. The problem is that this makes the text in the trading post (and others like the crafting window) practically illegible even at the full screen res. The chat window is mostly unaffected although it is not as smooth as it should be.

It almost looks like the game is scaling it as a picture and therefore there is pixel loss in the lettering rather than scaling it as text and smoothing out the pixels for readability.

I will attach the screenshot I took later tonight when I get home from work.

My Tome of Influence bugged out on the first day and didn’t apply the 1000 influence to my guild. It’s gone and I’ve wasted this item. I understand that this has happened to a few people.

Can we recover the tome at all?

The last thing a lot of us want is for general map chat to be like Barrens Chat or full of (rear end) [name of ability here] which is just childish and purile. ArenaNet are fully aware that swearing is now part of accepted languange of the day so the occasional expletive or “kitten” (if you will) is fine. But you devolve into that kind of rubbish? I’ll be the first to report you.

I ended up buying some mini packs through gems and got a number of mini ettins. I put three of them up for sale on the trading post and it looks like it ate them. I went to bed with them on there and woke up with the trading post down the next day. When it came back up, they were gone along with all the other gear that I had put up.

Is it even worth arguing to get these items recovered? or am I completely borked over by the ToS?
