I am also suddenly having problems with the game crashing due to the same error. My card is an NVidia GeForce 8800 GTX. Up until this morning I’ve had no trouble whatsoever with GW2, now I can’t even get the game to run. 
I’m glad you’re having fun replying.
So I’ve done a bit more digging and the wiki provided this interesting little nugget. Funny I never noticed this NPC, though I’ve run into Coriolis many times after updates to see if the gates-under-construction were doing anything interesting.
Also…where is she now? 
Holy kitten dude. But what if they were designed for somwhere else and now they are “re-programmed” because the original ones are gg. Logic..
I’m not a “dude”, however…you know the OP is meant in fun, yes? A guildie and I were discussing this, and I thought it would be fun to post here.
Because, you know, fun.
(point an accusing if somewhat stubby Asuran finger in the general direction of Anet)
I see what you did there! The “mysterious Asura gates of Coriolis Plaza” are a mystery no longer, but are now fully functional! However, they’ve been a work in progress since the game launched, which means…
…someone KNEW! You knew LA was gonna be razed, and were preparing for it all along! But at least one guildie and myself see through your veil of secrecy! Ha, I say to you! HA!
Also, HA!
Carry on. 
This is a terrible move. I use those for dailies and monthlies, usually just one circuit of boar>troll>oak before going on to better things. And it’s not just Queensdale, either; it’s ALL starting zones. If they really want people off the train, then just don’t give loot after the first time.
I’m sure they’re still “events”. We’ll just have to find champs elsewhere.
A woman can give her age if she wants to. 46 here, and not tired of it yet.
And here I thought I was being nerdy by pointing this out to everyone…LOL, I love this game and its community.
Evon is getting his revenge on all who did not vote for him.
I feel like a more heavy Sylvari emphasis could have been implemented.

There’s even a guard who complains about the looters, but they’re untargetable. I find that endlessly frustrating.
When do we get to work on our “Looter Booter” title track?
There are a pair of skritt guards at one of the havens in Metrica that I call Beavis and Butt-head due to their exchange:
“Bored.”
“BEEELLCCHHH!!!”
“HAHAHAHAHA!”
Silly? You bet. But cute in an adolescent sort of way.
This is also occurring with the mesmer #1 skill Spatial Surge and I think with an ele scepter attack as well. Your combat log will show the correct damage being dealt.
I admit when I first noticed this last night on my mesmer, my eyes nearly bugged out of my head!
Earthquakes are a common act in the game, related to various events. In Bloodtide, for example, there is an event chain within the Flooded Castavall about an earthquake unearthing a powerful risen (and artifacts though we never see them), and said earthquake does shake nearby areas.
I’m pretty sure I a Southsun quake before too, near the hive. One at the Maw during the event too, I think (shaking caused by the “blizzard”). So I don’t think any of these are new.
This said though, I would be disappointed if there weren’t a massive world map changing event. Even if we don’t see it in explorable areas, we should see some changes to the world map, IMO.
Emphasis is mine. I experienced this a couple hours ago…was working on mapping the area on my warrior, and it’s been a very long time since I’ve worked Bloodtide so I couldn’t remember if this quaking had always been there, or was new.
Googled it, and landed on my own thread. LOL. 
Or a Charr, but I doubt your Asura can get it that high.
My Asura is female, I’ll have you know! She’d simply build herself a water closet.
Not sure if it’s an intended thing or possibly something that’s been there all along, but my engineer was rather startled to discover yellow snow in Wayfarer yesterday.
Naughty Norn.
Coming soon to a Tyrian city near you…Walmart! Go for the savings, stay for the spectacle of a fat Norn in a tank top two sizes too small and pajama bottoms!
Three of my characters…my mesmer, my warrior, and my baby guardian…all favor greatswords. Though only one of them shoots purple lightning out of it.
I thought a greatsword was much larger than other swords, hence the name. Weren’t you all listening to Lord Tywin last night? He said Ned Stark’s Ice easily had enough steel in it for two swords.
Anyhow, there are chainsaw greatswords in this game, so the point is probably moot.
Sorry for necro-ing an old thread…pun completely intended.
One of these dropped for my mesmer last night in WvW; I’ve banked it for now since I’m not sure which character would benefit most from it. I’ve got a necro who’s running an old but still viable condition build so he seems the most likely candidate. Am I right?
Some of you might not believe this but “Shatty” has already been buffed once, not long after launch. He used to be easier.
While I agree that a world boss (especially a dragon!) should be difficult, I think ramping it up to Teq and Tri-Wurm difficulty is going overboard. I think instead the dragon should be given a number of difficult (not impossible) buffs that can be removed by players working together—-but rotate them so only one or two would be active during a given fight, and make that rotation random so players never quite know what to expect. Same with his attacks. Tough, but not impossible.
I know such a redesign would take a lot of work on the part of devs, but it would also make any world boss exciting and fun to fight again.
That’s okay, I like story mode.
Drax Tinderstrike was still lying on the ground and moving when I last visited the camp. I might be mistaken, but I’m going to take it as a sign that he defied the odds and survived.
He has to survive! He has to help us find Raisin Face!
I foresee many a futile attempt to get past that barrier and the level 80’s…this will not end well.
I took that screenie and another on the fly, the group was moving pretty fast.
But you’re right, this morning I found a YouTube video someone made of the event and saw the artwork in the background. Odd that I’ve never noticed it before.
I got all excited last night and thought I’d found a clue of some sort. Oh well.
I think the 80’s serve the same purpose as the “SuperOrcs” that appeared in LOTRO just before the Mirkwood expansion went live. They were placed across the Anduin river east of Lothlorien and any player attempting to swim the river to explore the new land mass was in for a rude (and fatal) surprise.
Awesome. I was wandering the area last night, but was sticking to the chasm in the Gallowfields instead. I’d found so many new/unfamiliar tunnels and caves in LA I guess I was expecting to see them everywhere.
I vaguely remember the fort from my early Sylvari days, but not the champs. That’s got to be new.
Those champion archers on the wall of that fort have always been there.
Have they always been level 80? Seem like that would have raised eyebrows if it were the case before the LS was even introduced.
Of course I’ll have to go investigate myself, now.
Braham reminded me of myself in that instance, when I’m on break at work or at a family gathering having to listen to someone’s drawn-out story.
And yeah, my guildmates and I are already “uh-huh”-ing each other all over the place.
My mesmer is bald (I didn’t like any of the hairstyles at launch), and I regularly get comments on how cute she is. Y’all be the judge.
Norn also utter “Yak spit!” as Braham proves.
Though he may have been talking about his hairstyle.
…actually, I haven’t, not yet, but it seems quite a few people over on Reddit did.
Given the ending of Scarlet’s story, I would have thought this sort of activity would be confined to the Maguuma area. However, perhaps the Breachmaker made a much larger breach than expected.
Has anyone experienced this while mapping, exploring, or simply running through the jungle?
no real human beings can be such a bunch of annoying drama queens like the Destiny Edge.
Clearly, you have not been around tabletop gamers for very long in your lifetime. Trust me . . . there’s worse which inhabits your Friendly Local Gaming Store.
Fext also has not met Diablo the Third. Thank goodness GW2 came out not long after he was unleashed upon the gaming public, or I’d still be in the clutches of his ter-RAWWWR.
