You can tell they're fake because they're terrible like everything ever suggested by people who play MMOs.

Yeah seriously, the ranger one is hilariously obvious. Equip a signet to make all the other signets work for you! Pet gets fully healed, and gains quickness but you have to die first!

Can anyone give me a ballpark figure on going 400-500 in an armor discipline and then crafting a full set of ascended armor? Probably will go for leather.

PS:I am also trying to settle once and for all some questions about boon removal prioritization for all relevant skills. This is science, and I need a few people to help out to do it in the most efficient manner - I've figured a plan that allows for any (pairwise) boon combination with a guardian, ele, and warrior. The Ford-Johnson algorithm is then used to sort the 9 boons in terms of their priority for removal using at most 17 comparisons (i.e. uses of the boon removal skill). Hit me up here or in game on Dehn Twist if you are interested in being a total dork, or if you have ever wondered "if I use skill X to remove/convert/steal a boon, which boon is affected?"

Use something like this guide to see how much it would cost to get to 500 in a given trade skill. Leather actually looks pretty cheap compared to Weaponcrafting.

Anyone ever had issues with the launcher freezing on startup? Just started happening for my buddy on Sunday. It gets stuck at 0% and you have to task manager out of it. Tried uninstalling and deleting all temporary files, but now we're still having the same issue. Can't find anything that's helped so far.

Edit: Solved. I think it was GPU driver issues.

The primary purpose of the 1% area isn't to use the bank, it's to communally gloat over poor people with your fellow rich elites. I'm sure you can sit among the commoners in LA and use your perma bank access though!! :smug:

I can't stop to trade, it reduces my DPS (Dungeons per Second.)

edit - besides, when you summon a perma merchant it doesn't let anyone else use it, so you can do your gloating on the move.

Reviving teammates is everyone's job really, but the bunker is the main man for getting people up. Ideally you should be trying to go down near the bunker/your team so they can get you up as fast as possible and take as little cleave damage as possible. This is all for team fights of course, standing in that circle and being a pain in the rear end to kill is a key part of the bunker life, but if you can't help your teammates out then the other team will just save you for last and win every teamfight.

Prepare to retake a new Lion's Arch!

Scarlet and her minions have taken over the once proud city. Are you a bad enough dude to go back into the city, grind an obnoxious 30 minute boss fight for a lovely home instance reward, and get the Saturday morning cartoon "I'll get you next time Gadget!" style treatment from Scarlet when it's all over?

It's coming. You know it is. You can't escape it.

Even if this is a tie in to another event, it'll be because she was driven mad by an even bigger bad guy. Meaning all of those lovely events and writing were just to justify bringing in another villain that might be of dubious quality. Meaning that even if she's killed off soon you'll never escape the shadow of Scarlet Briar. :unsmigghh:

This is the already the case and is blatantly spelled out if you do the 'investigation' thing for Marjory Delaqua in the current Living Story update. There's also very strong hints as to who the 'big bad' is and at this point I think they probably didn't actually have a coherent ending for it written at the end of last year and just stole someone's theory that was linked here a while back from Reddit and ran with it since it made more sense than whatever poo poo the Living Story team originally came up with.

Please put the actual writers who did all the banter between NPCs in the overworld on the Living Story team for Season 2 :(
