Thank you! :D

Taimi discovered a new technology, who better to test it on than the stoic Rytlock Brimstone!

Thank you for the information everyone.

Probably because the number of people ban is way less to the number of people that are using the Mac Client.

Hope so, that would be awesome. Thanks for the response :D

Normally, when a balance update happens build benchmarks are redone despite it being annoying. Imo, that's a good time to do benchmarks without EA. However, if people want to continue to do benchmarks with EA (for years) I understand. It's their choice, thank you for the response.

Why do most power benchmarks use Empower Allies, if most raid comps no longer have the warrior take Empower Allies?

Our group wiped at the water phase, boss was 10% health. It was bugged when we respawned.

Could not complete the boss, the orange circle that forms when the boss is in the tornado did not spawn white circles. We were eventually killed by multiple orange circles. The game thought we kept failing the mechanic. We had to restart the entire fractal, twice, due to this bug.

**Workaround:**

We found out we can get pass this bug by portaling people to the final chest after the mission has restarted. It seems like everyone got the rewards then.

Many people have been doing stories for years and ran into temporary bugs on and off but that didn't stop them from doing stories.

Do story, that's your gold and it's simple.

Still happen, after this T4 group wiped on the water phase it started to bug out.

Can delete.

Caithe & Aurene - Lyrical Lore : DRMS, Guild Wars 2

This is a tale of two harmonious souls, Caithe and Aurene.

"Love is genderless, classless, casteless, raceless, and religionless. It is universal in its own nature. It can be for anyone, anything. It brings peace and aggression. Peace is good, the key to stop aggression is to understand. Keep Loving."

That sounds fun, do you have a video of you pushing someone? :D

The Hole - DRMS Guild Wars 2

A new player stumbles upon a gigantic hole in Divinity's Reach, what could it be???

ArenaNet refunded me the gems :D. Thank you for the information.

It's working fine now.

I'm fine with a reduced range but not deletion.

Yeah, customer support contacted me to list the day and time. So, I gave the information. Hopefully, I can get the gems the game never sent me.

I purchased 160 gems, the in-game gold was deducted but I didn't receive any gems. A little while later an error message occurred.

I made a ticket to customer support.

I'm also curious to why this permission is mandatory.

Golden Chambers is now working properly, thanks! :D

Yeah, some type of warning would be nice. I would have took my time and experienced things fully, if I knew I could only do it once.

Yeah, I remember Auris. I'm not sure if his story will ever be finished. I had no idea he was in Blood Keep though, that's a major update.

I wouldn't mind seeing the story where we get rid of the random anomaly that kept appearing on our screens, again, too. Yeah, LS1 should have spoke volumes that players like repeatable story.
