Tanith.5264

The arrangement of the gathering nodes in that instance is such a cluster-foo that I doubt I'd notice Zhaitan, Mordy, and Kralk having tea, much less three sylvari. Too busy looking for the nodes I missed. ;)

It's all fun and games until the Icebrood skritt show up...

What's wrong with M.O.X.? He plays music for us and talks about the cats. What more could a battle-weary commander desire?

I forget which of the DRM's it occurs in, but if you ask Marjory about Kas during one of them she seems to get rattled and changes the subject. Something along the lines of "Let's not go there now...I mean, she's fine, we're fine" It made me wonder what that portended.

I'm not sure about Hero-Tron, but I bet we'll find Drooburt's ghost begging for...something. ;)

You _do_ have a run toggle option, your "insert" key. Your charr will walk upright, but he/she will only _walk_.

I was not a fan of the charr running animation at first, then someone on this forum pointed out that they look like an excited cat running after a toy.

I wondered about this exact thing (though it's never been an issue in prior years), so I very carefully noted I was talking to the "Toy Soldier" in charge of Toypocalypse. And yes, I was.

Tried again.

Bam. Empty Infinarium.

Maybe my game client was hitting my alcohol stash when I wasn't looking, or maybe the Windows 10 update that pounced on me after I closed GW2 for the evening is to blame. In any event, the problem sorted itself out, and I haven't had any trouble since. :)

I was having a similar issue last night. I kept trying to join Toypocalypse for the daily and kept landing in an empty Infiniarium. Very odd.

So do I. Things are getting murkier than an Orrian fish tank. No wonder Aurene is just sitting there with a thousand-yard stare. I might join her.

Some of y'all should have been around back when Scarlet planted her probes with huge DO NOT TOUCH signs on them. Fun times. :)

Is that the one the "ornate rusted key" opens? Got a bunch of those that need using up (I can't stand krait), so I'm on board with that one as well.

I can't even complete the new skimmer race because the gates won't trigger correctly. Ugh.

More significant than the gender to me is the argument that the other voice is making ("They need me"). Sounds identical to the things we've heard Jormag say.

Earlier I watched WP's video speculating on all this, and between him, the convos on this forum, and my guildmates' theorycrafting I confess to being totally bumfuzzled now.

Which is the dragons is in charge of bumfuzzlement? Or is that still Lyssa's turf? :)

> The male voice sounds prepared to go and fight an immortal being in the defense of mortals; Kuunavang sounds as though she is unwilling. The bottom dragon in the logo looks more like an Elder dragon, the top dragon looks younger. The dragons are arranged in a cycle. Perhaps we learned the most important parts about the plot in season 2 and HoT and we are on the long coast to the end. I hope not, but that is simply my taste.

> With the line "They built new lives on the very thing that sought to end theirs", Kuunavang is most likely referring to the Jade Sea and Echovald Forest after they were transformed by the Jade Wind. It is very weak evidence for the DSD's death.

That was my assumption as well. Also, the line "Mortals are little flames...brilliant, hot, and gone" is rather telling. I interpret that as "The mortals are very determined, but they still need my help." Whether the mortals wish it or not.

What male voice, by the way? The only two voices I hear are both distinctly female...Kunny, and whoever she's arguing with.

Nope, you're not the only one. I'm experiencing skill lag, mount lag, gathering lag...and jump pad lag. Tried to bounce from the bank to the TP in LA, my guy was spinning madly in place, then all of a sudden he was in the harbor _beyond_ the TP.

The lag spikes are the worst I've ever seen them. Skill lag, mount lag, mount _race_ lag...wanted to do festival stuff this evening, but I couldn't even manage the dailies and simply logged off.

Performing a shameless bit of thread necromancy here to add my voice. I finally Googled this because I couldn't figure out why the node didn't seem to be available in DS.

Similar error code here...42:1012:9001:4457

I note that it says "the code you entered is invalid"..._what_ code?

Bangar's a tyrant-in-training. He's using words like "Dominion" to send a clear message to those who would defy him.

I can hear Metal Legion singing now..."Where's your Claw, Khan-Ur Nothing?" :lol:

Well, I'm staring at Kensho Arrowsoul in my guild's hall and he's just staring back. What are we supposed to be seeing?

That's my only gripe with this episode. I don't mind reading the dialogue, but with those damn popups every few minutes it's nearly impossible.

Ah, well, I was gonna finish a re-read of _The Stand_ tonight anyway... ;)

I'm pretty sure Anet's already settled on the next playable race. Doesn't anyone notice the two cuddly quaggans currently decorating the border of the wiki? There ya go! Solves the problem of underwater mounts, too. ;)

Wuzzat? _Orcs?_ Who needs orcs when you have Thundercats from Hell...um, charr?

Timberline Falls, hands down. It's still my favorite map in the game for exploration. Of the newer maps I'd say the Aberrant Forest in Bjora Marches. Beautifully creepy.
