Guild Wars 2

Maybe they’re called rumors because they need to get a room. Or they did get a room. And now we rumor about the room. I hope the room was roomy in the roomy roomy room way.

Or maybe it’s rumors because it rhymes with tumors. Even if that one norn guy swears IT IS NOT A TUMOR.

I try to fight the tumor of rumor with humor. Rhymes, not so much.

RedSpectrum.1975:

We use Denial magic...

Denial is a river in Egypt full of the tears of our victims sharing their feelings on the forum!

Go thieves! Woo!

SHAKA ZULU.3128:

It would be super gr8 if people could not say things about the intention of guilds they are not from.

This is where we need Clint and the "get off my lawn" thing!

Barack Obama.9257:

I had it ever since the very first beta weekend

He is Barack Obama, and he approves his own message. *snerk!*

I wish I started GW2 when it hit instead of waiting. Those Halloween achievements I didn’t get, they haunt and taunt me. Empty bars... never to be filled... *cry* I try to fill the emptiness with the blood of dolyaks, but it is never sated.

All that and a bridge for sale in Lion’s Arch.

I don’t use magic as much as believe REALLY hard!

"If this doesn’t work, I’m gonna die..."

JudgeD.5673:

Would it surprise you to learn I make do with elixirs/FT and not supply drop? I think I’m one of the few engs who don’t use it.

You have other options? Oh wow this is like finding out about the bread which is sliced and pleasantly toasted short of burnt! *reading time*

JudgeD.5673:

Yes, I’m the suicidal eng that tries to get through TC zergs...I use her and not a thief.

YaY! I do something better than an engi! Hang 10 zerf surfing thief! But, I never TRY to. It just happens. Like, EEK ZERG, surf or drown!

I am a leaf on the wind! Which is way better than being stomped and trampled on leaf bits on the ground.

9 times out of 10, the pod drop lands on me. Ouch. That junk is heavy. You engineers really should watch where you call those in, someone could get hurt.

Are you sure they mean spies like you mean and not spies like scouts I hope they mean so that it’s not mean with the meaning?

There will never be true balance. It’s all fighting to move up at best or to maintain at worst. I think it’s best to try to build up 1 server, the one you’re on; and try to go all Conan on whichever 2 you end up saying hello to that week. Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations on the forums. All that, but at least try to be nice about it.

I can’t go on too much more about it, being all pot kettle transfer yesterday. *sigh* Hypocrite... has nothing to do with a hippo in precision gear. Actually, I’d love to see that picture. Er, flashback to Rocksteady and Beebop from TMNT.

Shadow Gathering.5649:

Bury the hatchet if you can...

Bury in the groundy bury or bury in their body bury or bury it in the body in the ground bury?

Berries. Yum.

I’m not saying good-bye to KN because I can always hope it’s too early to.

But I do want to say sorry to them for calling them Kang-xang a couple of times. Except I didn’t use an x. I used the letter right before that one so it was something some sylvari have but don’t really have a traditional need for.

All that and some kittens.

Edit: Really, it took another 24 hours until I saw someone call you KN. I jumped all over that! The KN. Not the Kang-xang.

Devilsmack.5736:

One of my posts was flagged too cuz i mentioned weapons of mass destruction... go figure.

Justin Bieber?

Swampy.1359:

Quick, now’s your chance, flash that cash!!!

In Lion’s Arch, some people flash for cash.

And in KN, some flash for fun. While zerging. With golems. But I’m not sure how all the ranger pets fit in.

Humane has nothing to do with mullets.

Street Fighter II! Greatest of all time!

Guile FTW! You and your Hadoken and Dragon Uppercut thing, pfft.

FTW until Jean Claude G-Damme and Hollywood had its way with another beloved memory of my youth. Raul Julia died of embarrassment because that movie turned out so bad.

Vinterchaos.2541:

Because you guys can’t really win without a wall and some arrow carts unless you are fighting a boatload of militia or outnumber 2/1 - 3/1

You know I’m pretty sure I’d LOVE to be on the side with the wall and arrow carts and outnumbering the enemy EVERY TIME. Maybe that’s just me... I’ll try to be more heroic, until someone tries to kill me.

My first was Ultima Online... I made a bad mistake roleplaying a nice reagent gatherer frolicking through the words. Yes, the stuff that powers the magic spells, on someone unarmed, away from the guards.

I died a lot.

"Hail, sirs!"
*ZAP TWIP TWIP BLAMMO*
"oOOooooOoOOo?"

Issues.5789:

Being From FA all I care about is what TC and Kaineng thinks about me, I mean how else can I sleep with such a heavy burden on my mind?

Vodka worked for me, but poorly with way too many drawbacks, for over a decade.

I am a sober leaf on the wind... *twitch* *twitch*

Whitebeard.5172:

*RP walks away*

I roleplay run away. Screaming. Sometimes the screams are only on the inside because it’s hard to run when you’re not sucking air in. I am a leaf on the wind! Trying not to be a leaf on the ground. Or pieces of leaf scattered about. But leafy. And I’m leaving the area. Running.

I find mentally counting out the 4 seconds helps me stay focused instead of situationally spazzing. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Zerg surfing. SO. MUCH. FUN.

Maybe try it in the Count from Sesame Street’s voice... ah ah ah.

Scootabuser.4915:

Since when do ranged weapons do more then 1/3 of what you can do with a melee weapon?

P/D pew pew *stealth* pewpewpewpewpew!

Whitebeard.5172:

I was running with him last night and a Diss commander noticed his guild tag and knew exactly who he was, welcomed him and such.
Pretty outstanding for a guild of one.

"Aren’t you FA?"

I was surprised too. I must have been doing a good job with harassing the dolyaks. In the militarily approved of fashion.

Maniac.5163:

Also, I’m biased but I feel like it would be a struggle to grasp any sense of the FA community when you isolate yourself to your own guild...

I did get involved with a WvW guild for several weeks. It was an interesting experience, never dull for sure.

nibbles.2408:

FA has been consistently judged by its forum warriors...I can guarantee the FA trolls won’t stop...

Enough of it left an icky taste with me and combined with some pleasant interaction with some TC forum people and a lack of actual attachments to FA and I bounced over to see what things were like.

2 hours is a hilarious small sample size, but it was pleasant. Less salty, angsty, spazzy. All I saw in chat was numbers and movements and all clears. I saw people responding to the info. I saw people hanging out manning siege no where near the action.

I saw an odd guild recruitment message. I’m assuming it’s a guild for charr, what with the fur and all.

I joined FA because a few people I knew, 3 steps removed from the people I knew from WoW, said they played on it. And they then said they never really play once I started playing. My time with FA and two of the guilds there has convinced me that I should just do my thing alone for now.

The thing that made me finally move, after all my "just play" talk was the fact that a 30 man zerg can just roll up your home Borderland all the way to Spiritholme and NO ONE called it out. Maybe it was said in voice coms, maybe, but still no one was there.

I was hot, after upgrading the camp, since I’m cheap and all. I remember FA as being more functional a month ago.

I’m in that self justification mode now, but the grass seems greener on TC through my rose colored glasses that cost $20 in gems. Maybe WvW and people’s bandwagoning is how ANet knew they’d make bank instead of monthly subscriptions.

Furiousbeard.7602:

Master Farkha.1857:

How does one grow a furious beard anyway?

Its an extremely dangerous process and something unfit for the public forums.

I misread that minus a very important letter L the first time through... Gods help me.

Rackhir Tanelorn.9123:

Numbers are always subjective and hard to confirm...

Best Captain Jack Sparrow impersonation - "Thief."

And that’s why I’m in a guild of me! Way subjective and way objective but the numbers in my case is a confirmed one. And I was easy. To confirm. Mostly thief.

I will say that TC’s WvW map chat seems very sparse and focused. I only saw one negative comment in 2 hours and only those involved knew what the context of that was. Even the furry guild recruitment thing seemed to get glossed over quickly.

Mostly it was use max info, min typing. Gods know I need lessons with that. And learning the names. Green lakey campy thing.

PS Empty out your guild bank if you’re a guild of one before you transfer. Many rares died for this information. Not that they weren’t going to die in the Mystic Forge eventually, but still...

luwe.1496:

Question, does it really matter what Tier you are on?

It’s pride and ego.

Failed TC attack wipes out all the poultry at Spiritholme in FA BL. No more Kaineng Fried Chicken for 2 weeks while stocks recover.

Forget the kittens, think of the chickens.

Like the mustard seed, teeny tiny in size, FA will sprout into a mighty shrub of funtimes! But unlike mustard, we won’t be squished into a tasty yellow paste. Because there’s only red, blue, and green. But we will be seedy! All that!

Dontcare Aboutnames.9284:

Congrats to whoever that is already hitting Legend

Can we call her the Big K-Nasty?

Huygens.4075:

So much salt is quite unhealthy.

<(O.o)>

Well, let’s just say so far the reset has not gone well for FA and leave it at that. Now, let’s see if we as a server can get it going and make up the lost ground. ^^ More talky, less snipey.

I was there briefly, several times early but always escaped. It was insane, swords on the cap, and a whole LOT of TC from the Citadel. I went alone a few times, with others a few other times.

Seemed like anything I tapped resulted in a lot of response. Even the yaks were being escorted, and I don’t mean by 1-3 people. I couldn’t even get close enough to try to use the cheese’trops from Uncatchable to wear down the yaks.

Come to think of it, I never got finished and only got downed once in the 2 hours I was around. Wish I could play longer, but I had an all day Saturday thing to go to.

I don’t know if it was the timing of the reset or just server desire, but TC and KN came out a lot stronger than FA did. I hope we remember how TC came from behind like Tuesday week before last. Yeah, we’re resting up for a burst. ^^

Gwen is the scary.

TheFiendishFiend.4057:

It was fun, but alas, every coin has two sides.

.. and an edge. You can’t forget the edge.

I’m edgy.

Jski.6180:

Ya looks like FA quits this week.

Like I’ve said, every server plays itself up or down to the appropriate Tier for its effort. *shrug*

God kitten bwhaaaahahaha

TC BL is SO thick with TC defenders. I almost cried when I reported that I couldn’t touch yaks because it looked like you had guilds on escort duty. Someone said "it seemed like something TC would do".

I wish I had a joke to go along with that, but I think it doesn’t need one, with you guys being the green team and all.

Reset time is reset time. After that it’s all play time go time! Rawr!

Cheshire Kitty.9205:

On a completely unrelated thought …

Ground chuck always makes me wonder who Chuck angered.

At the rank someone actually mentions to you that you need to look for the one that dodges or actually moves in a non-straight at you way.

I don’t really have an expectation. It’s an experience thing, but it could have helped you if someone would let you know what to look out for. Keep playing and you will get better, that’s all that really matters.

Erithus.1649:

Could someone post a build that is representative of this playstyle?

0-0-30-20-20
SA IV-Shadow’s Embrace, V-Infusion of Shadow, XI-Shadow’s Rejuvenation
Acro II-Power of Inertia, pick one: VI-Fleet Shadow, IX-Quick Recovery, X-Assassin’s Reward
Trick III-Uncatchable, VII-Bountiful Theft

Hide in Shadows, Shadowstep, Shadow Refuge, Blinding Powder or Caltrops, Thieves Guild or Daggerstorm.

Runes: 3 Krait, 3 Afflicted; Sigils: Corruption/Agony P/D and whatever on SB.

Munch on the 36% Condition Duration pizza to get past 75% for another bleed tick.

As a P/D, I’ll chime in. If there are clones or critters about, I’m going to C&D off those because I know I’m not going to get dodged. If it takes me forever to wear you down, I’ll take forever. As long as I can get myself back into stealth I’m good to go.

Personally, if I run into a Phastasm and it tears me up, I’m going to start getting out of the area without really even looking to reset the fight.

GW2 Kitty cares not for coverage or PPT. GW2 Kitty is all about fun.

Collective hive mind? For the Swarm!

Tellin’ ya, cutest crackling EVER.

Huygens.4075:

How can we produce such quality drama if we’re working together?

Working together doesn’t divide the blame as much it multiplies the devastation of the mistake.

And when I mess up, it’s SPECTACULAR!

Edit: Which is another reason I do the roamy loney thing so much.

Inprognito.9487:

Instead of stressing over the score I decided to play as much as I feel and we end up where we end up. If that’s T3, then so be it.

You truly are looking at the moon, and not the finger! Now, if we can get everyone else to feel instead of thinking...

Someone found something wrong with GW2 Kitty...

I’m... I’m just... I got nothing. I’m gonna just go drool in the corner.

Your nakedness really bared some facts about openings in the body of our defense last night. I’m sure a lot of us from FA looked forward to and enjoyed seeing that particular zerg in all it’s open and unashamed glory. ^^

I will say that at times you may have to explain to new players why you’re telling them:

- Please don’t take supply from here.
- Please don’t kill Siegeguy.
- Please don’t attack the neutrals.
- Please don’t attack the gate.

I’m having fond memories to my initial trips into WvW now. At least, fond for me, if not the people who had to teach me at the time. Thanks, teacher peoples!

Chaba.5410:

I feel really sorry for the Tarnished Coast players who don’t want their server to be in Tier 1.

Take heart in the fact you won’t have to worry for long. Usually about a week. *cheesy grin*

Shrouded.6450:

EVERYONE always starts out at the bottom every time they go up a tier. That much is consistent...

Tada! *cheesier grin*

Now, someone get me some wine to go with mah cheesey.

MrSilver.5269:

BTW, is your participation trophy in blue or red?

"Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in."

Ya know, even us loners get gold medal credit for getting to the cap circle before it flips. YaY!

Ye Gods, a red or blue or even green trophy? That would look FUGLY!

To Shrouded, and everyone else for that matter, "everyone’s best interests" only gets used in place of "my best interests" to sound nice. It even sounds generous. Dare I say noble. The phrase itself always makes me all suspicious in that checking my pockets way.

nibbles.2408:

You know what this thread hasn’t discussed? The two hour time shift.

I don’t like it, because I don’t like change. I actually had a shrink tell me this. YOU THINK?

But as East Coast U.S., argh, now I get home from work and it’s time to go straight into WvW, or sit there queued? Things were okay before daylight savings. Things were great now. I get home, do my thing, squeeze in the PvP daily stuff and then get my WvW on.

I’ll have to see how it flies, but initial impression is BLERGH. Doesn’t everyone know? There IS NO world beyond the eastern coast of America.

Expunge.4926:

it’s easy to play and have fun when ppt doesn’t give you a guilty conscience

There’s only one source of guilt, and that’s the person who feels it. Even if that’s not exactly what the court tells me.

Give them an honest answer and continue doing what you’re doing. *shrug*

I’m terribly biased, as a thief, but I’m going to say thief. Stealth to scout, and can build to burst, your support is sort of limited, but the people you rez tend to be thankful.

Problem is, when you try to be a jack of all, you’re master of none.

Maniac.5163:

I think you’ve had enough grass..

"More dolyakbell!" doesn’t have the same ring as cowbell. Neither does "more sylvari!".

phaneo.4597:

lol Wyldkat, sorry had to borrow your Finger..moon stuff earlier since someone was missing your posts :p

I’m always happy to give someone the finger. Mooning is fun too. I live to ruin everyone else’s seriousness, while seriously playing.

On an unrelated but WvW note, Epidemic condimancer is NOT working for me. Feels too clunky, and I roam alone too much. My sig does say Loner for a reason ^^

nibbles.2408:

Looks like the trolls will have some good eating tonight...

They could eat grass. TC’s green grass. Yep. Help is always appreciated.

Boo TC! YaY FA! All that. *blows a raspberry*
