it's fine for most zones but they should have kept the main cities hom-server-based for rpers,

Are you kidding? Watching map chat be full of RPers who complain that being exposed to more people turns the game into a single-player experience was the highlight of my day yesterday.

Because it convinced me to finally be free of map chat, granted, but still.

You've had an invite pending to Goon Squad for the last two days, and you posted twice in the re-invitation thread already. Perhaps try checking the guild UI in-game?

And some people just like to type up dumb stories and elaborate emotes for their own storylines, and are now being forcibly split up from meeting their own? I dunno, I like RP too. But mostly it being spontaneous and to meet both your friends and entirely new people.

Honestly, for some people, the lore and the RP were their reason for staying :smith:

Gosh, if only there were a list of ways to make it more likely for everyone to wind up on the same map. Admittedly, squads don't seem to be on that list and, if they really don't affect placement, need to be for both PvE and RP purposes.

So far, it's only parties that allow you to move between instances if they're not full, taxi'ing like before. And if guilds work (we still don't have official word that they do), you have to be representing them constantly, which kinda defeats the purpose of a guild as a means to represent an arm from an Order, a merc outfit, Krytan houses of nobility, or a bunch of warbands strung together, or much of anything else.

I get that roleplayers can be and have been whiny, entitled people, but I can also understand their woes and do wish this system will get its kinks ironed out. Just walking up to a group of people and joining in is made a lot more difficult if they're stretched thing between five mega-instances.

Though seeing entire maps full with people and talking with everybody of so many languages is pretty drat engaging. And hey, sometimes you have people join in on whatever you do, be it PvE or just typing up dumb poo poo :v:

Very similar to what I've been using forever and it works well. Mines not perfect but I'm fairly comfortable with it:



I use show/hide weapons to stop auto attacking with a ranged weapon, but sometimes I've just been disabling auto attack in general when I'm not feeling lazy. It tends to work better for wvw if you suddenly have a feedback/wall of reflection/a million years of confusion stacks in your face.

Some things can't be unseen
My favorite thing about pugging AC1 is when they insist you MUST stack on the pillar for Howling King. Dying once to show them what happens is a small price.

This is one of those things where if you have enough DPS it works 100% of the time. If you have a bunch of bums in soldier gear then you're going to get wrecked eventually.

RPers want an exclusive server. It is not reasonable to expect that. Custom chat channels would be beneficial though and for many reasons beyond RPing.

Does it? I mean, we always stack the pillar for Colossus Rumblus, but I've never even heard of people trying to stack HK. We usually just engage him on the far side of the room and try to DPS him down before the adds become any sort of concern.

This has been an issue since forever, but I kept thinking to myself, hey maybe they'll patch it this time. Since they haven't, I'm starting to wonder if I'm doing something stupid and wrong, so: does anyone else have issues with Hidden Thief? About 60% of the time I don't stealth on stealing, and then when I throw feathers or whatever it'll say "immune." It's super loving annoying.

I can't imagine it'd be a conflict with Mug, but knowing Anet I'd have to suggest it.

It's steal itself that is somewhat iffy. Sometimes it just misses because there was a rock in your path or something stupid. Sometimes it just missed because gently caress you, that's why. I imagine it doesn't trigger if you miss.

Figured I would show off the look of my Necro. I have been switching out looks for a while now, but I'm really happy with the current appearance.

The head piece is from the Arah set, the shoulders and gloves are the gem store toxic mantle and gloves, and the rest is
from the Honor of the Waves set.

The staff is "The Crossing."


Let me know what you think!

The condi PU mesmer build I posted earlier is just swell. If they pop your clones they take hella condis. If they don't you get a steady heal and just apply your own condis. If things somehow go downhill, easy to withdraw. Duelist and bleeds apply significant pressure for the enemy to run or fight which kills them either from the torment or the confusion. I love it.

Does it not? The boss doesn't have much in terms of HP so it doesn't really matter where you engage him. It's not so much the spot as it is the people.
