Ameepa.6793

A class that can press the special skill that every challenge has

They would not have grindy achievements to repeat them a number of times , dailies to complete them every day and their own currency if they were ment to be played only once.

Ah right, my original F-skills are on Shift+1-5, fifth also on mouse for classes that need better access for it.

Also mounts on numbers with CTRL. Skyscale has its own button on T since I use that 99% of time :D

Mine are F1, F2 etc for builds and Shift + F1, F2 etc for equipment.

You do not need to use the SMS auhentication every time you log in. It sends you SMS the first time you log in after activating it and you tick "remember this network" and then never again except if you change your ISP or log in from different city. Then you need to do it again once. Other than that, logging in is exatly the same with the authenticator as it is without.

Zero incovenience, much protection.

Started as 10 with the prologue but has been going downhill from there. It's 2 now.

I have zero interest in doing these DRMs more than once or trying to find a group for the challenge modes. I used to complete all map meta achievements before but of these Saga ones I have done only the two first ones. Then they started to require huge amount of grind and strikes and now it needs the challenge mode DRMs. These episodes and content turning more and more into group content takes away all my motivation.

I noticed that too, but I suppose it's just lag with everyone doing it right now.

> That section has no citations but it's worth noting the "could not afford or did not have access to" part. That strongly implies that they are inferior to other weapons, which they are.

> If you look at the diagrams on that page you'll see that the war scythe is configured differently to the agricultural scythe. The war scythe is a polearm like a spear or halberd and the curved blade is in line with the pole. The agricultural scythe (the one depicted in GW1 and in GW2 as staff skins) is impractical for combat, the blade is not only perpendicular to the pole it also faces inwards. I'm sure that the first step in the peasant uprising was to get a blacksmith to correct that and turn the blade 90 degrees.

Yes it even says so in the next sentence:

"Scythes and pitchforks were stereotypically carried by angry mobs or gangs of enraged peasants. The process usually involved reforging the blade of a scythe at a 90 degree angle, strengthening the joint between the blade and the shaft with an additional metal pipe or bolts and reinforcing the shaft to better protect it against cuts from enemy blades."

Edit:

Also more about the normal non modified scythes:

"Farming tools such as the scythe and pitchfork have frequently been used as a weapon by those who could not afford or did not have access to more expensive weapons such as pikes, swords, or later, guns."

Taxes are the main gold sink in game. Only thing keeping the inflation in check. Make them lower and prices will be 10 times higher. Do you really want that?

But why would you need to buy them? There are plenty of more points available than what is needed so you can skip all the weapon collections and other ones that are too difficult. You get enough for mostly just playing the story and completing the map of each episode.

Also the masteries are usually designed only to be used in that Episode's map and you get the points for them by playing that map. If you don't play that map, you don't need the masteries for it either.

Killing things also should be illegal

I would simply walk into cantha

Strikes and huge amount of grind made me stop trying to finish it.

I do not like to do group content at all and I'm not going to repeat anything for 50-100 times. Now I just do the story, explore the map and do the meta event couple of times. That used to be enough for completing the major part of the meta achievement before but now it's barely even 10% of that.

> Actual, relevant commentary: Have you tried "Salvage All"? It's very good at getting rid of various vendor trash.

Salvaging all does not salvage boxes. There are boxes left. After opening the boxes and salvaging all leaves the new boxes that were in the previous boxes among other things. Opening them and salvaging all leaves the boxes that were in them boxes and salvages the rest. Opening those boxes and salvaging all....

Agree! Unident item in box in bag in bag in box is kinda annoying!

Open your hero panel and go into novelties menu. The item is in the toy section there. Select it and use it to toggle it off. You probably had it automatically selected when you received the item and accidentally toggled it on.

Yes let us hide the whole compact button please. I never want to push that button.

Winstersday! Magical athmosphere, great music, fun activities. Very relaxing and happy feeling!

Number 2 is already in game. We can keybind all the mounts to different buttons. It's in Options -> Control options.

> I am one of those fun people that has crappy reaction times for various reasons, so my jumping skill is not up to snuff. for this and other JP's. I would be fine with a really awesome reward for people that can do the clock tower. For the sake of us people that do not have the reaction times necessary to make this crazy climb but really want to complete the armor collection, put the armor on a different event please.

You don't need the tower for the armor collection. Everything can be completed without the tower. Only thing missing will be few APs.

You don't need to do the tower. There's 10 annuals and you need only 9.

I also have never been able to do the tower and never will but I don't mind. There's no need to be able to do everything. :)

There already is one :)

Fooled about what? That -30% discount is actually -30% discount and not more?
