  1. Well... kralkatorrik has died, ok. (when the screen went white, he says mother..?)

    I have questions, where does the torment come from?

    Since kralkatorrik went berserk during gw1 and early gw2, are there something that has made it go crazy and wild?

    Maybe the new season could be something that related to the dark matter or the god and goddess conflicts???

    Just asking. :)

    > I have. Many times, actually. I don't know any formal name for it, but I call it argument trolling. I did it myself once, many years ago. I made a lengthy, intelligent sounding post to try and convince people that time isn't real. If you are witty and creative enough, you can make a convincing sounding argument for nearly anything. I've spent a great deal of time thinking about argument trolling, since it is really just epistemology. It sort of works like this:

I mean, we presume that other people in charge of all the minutia of our lives know what they're doing. I.E. whenever you move into a house, you don't check all of the studs, fire blocking, or trusses in fear that the house is poorly constructed. You just assume that the builders knew how to build it and did honest work, that the inspectors knew what to look for and did honest work, that the codes and regulations are comprehensive, fully effective, and assembled with your best interests in mind. Most people believe this so strongly not even a shadow of a doubt crosses their mind. And yet... you can never pinpoint exactly when a person comes to believe these things.

    > There are a lot of presumptions that sneak into our lives that we operate under. These philosophies that we take for granted guide a lot of our beliefs, even though we've never truly considered them. Or, we've adopted these ideas under fallacious reasoning, and we're unaware that it is fallacious (even if the idea itself is true). Sometimes it is just something upheld by society in general, and sometimes it is just something we "feel" and don't truly think about. Many times, we just give license to our feelings first and come up with a defense later/never. If someone is sufficiently motivated they can nitpick, forcibly misconstrue, make accusations, sneak in their own presumptions, and contort basic ideas into outlandish extrapolations. It is all to challenge another person's preconceptions (which then makes people angry), but it is not true reasoning. It simply wears the guise of reasoning to infuriate other people.

    > Argument trolls are usually indistinguishable from somebody who sincerely holds those ideas. There's nothing new under the sun, so there's a myriad of outside references for nearly any idea, no matter how outlandish. The only way to truly tell is that an argument troll will tend to be baity, and will double back if confronted instead of really staying the course. It's only after you've been pulled into the fight that you'll come to find that they aren't playing a fair game.

    > The hardest part about any debate is recognizing that the motives and win conditions are different from person to person. In this sense, a troll or a legitimately adamant person has the upper hand, because all they have to do is be stubborn. If you're trying to convince _somebody else_ that they're wrong, then the ball is in _someone else's_ court, so to speak. When it comes to accusations, or misconstruing statements, it is scary how easy it is to do, because there is only one truth but countless lies. It takes a great deal more effort to know and explain the truth than it does to just say something catchy, appealing, or inflammatory. To take the time example, it is easy to say something like "time is all relative and is just a trick of perception in your mind." Anyone can say it. But, to explain that no, our brains don't work like that and space-time is a real thing practically requires a college degree in physics. Very few people can prove or even explain the concept of space-time, let alone in a few zingers through the chat box.

    > So, whether you're dealing with a troll or somebody who is just adamant, ultimately engaging with them in a debate is useless, because their win condition is achieved by being stubborn. Engaging with them is just a waste of time, unless you actually like engaging with them. Then, they're just fun to deal with.

    > Generally an argument troll can be ignored safely. However, if you happen to notice that everything you say on the forum or in chat is always met with unusual levels of criticisms, no matter how innocuous, then you probably have a stalker. Be wary of those, because it takes a large degree of malice to follow somebody around arguing against everything they say.

     

    Yeah... I get what are you saying... That's why I tend to ignore it instead of fight them. But in the same time, it also gets me feel so angry because of how inconsiderate they are just to make fun of people. Sigh....

    > this bug can lead to some serious trolling if people stay in the room after they got the drop as it wont spawn till they leave the room, I just keep explaining the issue to people in map chat till it gets fixed. also try not overcrowd the room as it can lower the drop chance for people that been in there for a long time or find a quite time of the day or when a meta event on to go in. ive been doing my Mesmer duties portaling people into the next room if I get the drop and they been in a while so other mesmers do the same till this fixed

     

    too bad, today I've met one...sigh....it ends up I'm the one who be told I'm meddling other people's business. sigh...

    And you think I was right? (? . ?)

  5. Have you ever met an another player trolling in the game yet he/she still has a tons of explanation to proof that he/herself isn't/isn't wrong/etc?

    And the reason I don't want to argue with them isn't because I'm scared, I just don't want to start another war on the map chat. sigh....

  6. Same problem here, I can't seem to get plate from the purple room...

    From what I've saw is some people doesn't want to go out after getting the plate or just keep spamming it even though he/she did have the plate (I know some people also desperately want the plate as well, helping other player is fine but it ends up other person gets the plate...)

    I did tell them to move on after getting the plate but some of them just won't listen.

    Seriously, please fix this problem, I don't want to spend another half and hour just try to wait until the light of deldrimor is gone and I have to wait for another day to just to get the achievement done. This is frustrating. T^T

    > In any great fight you have loses. Sad for that cute dragon, but if we had defeated kralk during that episode I would have said that he wasn't that strong and us more than a god. It's great that kralk isn't easy to kill, seriously what we have done? Tickling his neck and poking his eye. (Maybe shaking his stomach with all those shock~waves).

    > Can't tell how many good characters we lose, Tybalt, "Joko", Blish, Eir, Aurene? And in next episode surely Taimi.

    >

    > To sum up, I'm more for defeats, win everytime is not fun, bring no emotions and turn the hero into a cliché.

     

    I agree with you. * thumbs up *

  8. Yeah... it's kinda sad to see Aurene being crystalize just like that with all the hard work and tensions...

    but maybe this is the turning point for her to get resurrect again since she ate Joko... who knows..? (and if Kralk doesn't die, which means the tracker still in his body)

    Well, about Taimi's health condition, I'm pretty sure I have seen it since she first appears in the story, she just walk differently compared to another asuran, so I'm not surprise but hope she doesn't die... :'(

     

    As for my opinion, kill off some of the characters from the story is really sad but sometimes, it just happens, this is a war, remember? not everyone survives even you want them to live... sighs... T^T

    > The "easiest" way I've seen these done without a premade group is through the LFG. A couple weekends ago, somebody started a squad LFG to cover all the related maps. Since it takes a few minutes for the NPC to reach their destination, we had time to call out the maps and locations in order to get at least three bodies to the event. The squad ran for a good four hours.

     

    oh.. ok. thank you for the information. :)
