LetoII.3782

Last time they "fixed" something on EB they made a wasteland of new holes around their fix..

Be careful what you wish for

So many interweebs points from a solitary link.

Correct

You've chosen to be deaf, you can also choose to hear. No Anet required.

> And yes, i guess im handicapping myself, but i dont see why that has to be a thing, to be forced to listen to ingame sound and again, it would be 2 flies with one stone. Not forcing ppl to listen to sound and also making it more fair to player with a hearing impairment.

I'm colorblind, in a world of unlimited resources I'd think a color selection option would be great. We're 10% of the male population, yet so few games accommodate us...

But that's not you, you're unequipping your weapons and demanding a damage buff. You're turning your monitor off and demanding text support. You're shooting yourself in the foot and demanding the Olympic committee make the other racers hop.

Enjoy your music.

You can literally rapid fire 100-0 full minstrel fb. If you cant be useful in big groups then thats great because scg and necro is not that great in roaming too. Thats the tradeoff.

Twice what which profession can do?

The list isn't as long as some people's custom build might lead them to believe..

The deaf can type fine if it's an issue.

You're willfully handicapping yourself, why would anyone accommodate that?

I've seen this a lot actually, but I think it has to do with lag.. Or maybe a bug. Seems like the mount takes 80% of the RF then poof!

But knowing the warclaw's hp it couldn't possibly eat 8x3000 damage.. So I lean towards lag.

I noticed a long, grey eyebrow hair the other day. I'm afraid I'm going to be one of those old dudes with massive, bushy eyebrows and it troubles me deeply.

Yeah trophy boxes, gold a piece plus the magics, gives you a steady stream of the only stuff still worth having, t6 mats

Turned out guilds weren't an essential part of guild wars... Especially with a healthy number of Aussies, Asians and Euros on hand

I feel like I've been tricked by the title.

I went and got candles and a zamfir CD and everything

We don't take kindly to critical thinking round these parts, pilgrim.

You play the game without sound?

I mean yeah, I muted the music long ago. But the combat audio in this game is a very useful information stream.

Maybe I'm biased, I play with my wife at a dual desk and so that information goes doubly as it also gives us clues as to what's going on with the other's character... Yet I still keep it on when I'm solo, maybe it's my job-o-tron. I still get a smile even having heard the snarky comments ten thousand times.

Sandswept isles, least clutter.

With reasonable pack space you can ignore your bags indefinitely.

Our money never counted, we were just slow to comprehend. After all, we're really into pve.

Autoattacks in general do too much in this game.

> @"Knighthonor.4061" said:

We already gave them money.

They made living story with it.

Even by their own admission, they have 200 devs and 10% of the playerbase is WvW only. Bear in mind this is not counting the 30% who do both.. We should have had 20 devs working on WvW all along, we have not.

Should we throw good money after bad?

But they haven't left.

Every time it opens people flood in.

It's a first hand experience of playing the current game. The game maps, the distances between objectives, were designed with a certain move speed in mind. Objectives further from spawn are further from reinforcement therefore harder to assualt, those closer are easier as you're closer to respawns.. But still able to be taken, as there is travel time from spawn to even the closest objective. Warclaw shortens this distance, but worse yet it drastically shortens travel time for the slowest and tankiest of builds... Builds designed to be powerful, but also not in control of the fight as they've made trade-offs away from mobility. Power OR speed, not both.

Reducing the amount of pvp in a pvp mode portrayed as a good thing. I'd counter the walking safe space was a content reduction, and it takes warped sensibilities to see that as a good thing.
