Somethings I just will never "get better" at. Maybe in a few years or so. But I doubt it, as I really don't like the beetle, and never use it unless I must open some walls .

Which is next to impossible to get unless you can do either the JP or that timed lap with the beetle (which I think is the worst mount in the game).

Actually, no, not plenty of other stuff to do. If you want to do the meta, you can do 10 different achievements. This is one of them, and you have to do 9. That beetle is something I've tried, but I only get stuck behind every single small bump, no idea how to drift (I did read up on it, still didn't work). So, I must do that Ascent to Madness thing, which I also never liked doing, but might be able to finish (if I manage to find people that want to do it too).

Also, people that can not do the JP, probably also won't be able to do that lap within 1 minute and thus will never even have a chance of getting the meta.

Naturally, as I have two of them... I was my first and the one that made me Twice Told Legend....

Now, ask me the name of the spear (some long Hawaiian name) and the trident (no idea)…. I've both of them as well :tongue:

No, I just cannot get used to the fact that you can stuck behind the smallest height difference (due to no jumping). Otherwise, I probably would have.

Same goes for that Elite Reinforcement Package. There's a bank upgrade in there, but if you've already maxed your bank, it's useless...

Just finished that last fight of A Kindness Repaid, again. I still hate it and it's still boring as hell. In fact, in then end, I was just auto attacking and reading the forum... Death has no meaning, dodging is impossible, so, might as well let the game play for me...

When I try to remove a glyph from my unlimited unbound magic harvesting tool, while it's sitting in my bank, I get a crash to the desktop...

And a very expensive one too...

Not only used... I now have 75 uses instead of 7500 uses left on my tools (30 characters, with each 3 100-charge tools) plus 10 I had already gotten from my toolbox and were waiting in my bank...

Edit: recalled that the harvesting tool only has 50 charges...

haven't completed the story yet but the fight against the mark II beta exterminator is just horrible. Plain horrible. Did I already mention is is horrible? Please, can somebody explain the fun of doing the same things a million times?

Please tell me what is required from sPvP for a legendary?

I'm not looking forward to the time when I must get another GoB. I just loathe any form of PvP, as soon as I see another person opposite to me, I'm dead. Yeay, fun...

A person telling me that gets a one-way ticket to my blocklist. Thankfully, you never run out of spaces on that.

> It's obvious that A-net doesn't care about bug reports, or people being stuck. The Bria event has, from what I gather, been bugged for weeks, maybe even months, stopping people from progressing in LS S2.

Hmm, weird then that I passed that event two weeks ago... The event needs to be fixed, I agree, it can apparently bug out. But it's not bugged always or everywhere. If you're in instance where it's bugged, try to get into another one. During a ley-line event would be the easiest, or just use the LFG tool.

I do agree with one thing: if you make an event required for progress in a personal story, be sure to create it such that it simply cannot get stuck. At least they changed one thing: you don't need to do the event, the only thing that is required is that the event is not active...

> @"Zionka.6897" said:

> it also has hooves on it's feet :) I'd actually consider buying it if I only used springer more. It's a great skin, and I like that it's not "cutesy".. But I only bring out the springer for when it's needed for a jump, then get right back on my griff.. so other than sitting around town to look cool, I can't justify 2k gems

Actually, the springer is the one I mostly use, but I still won't be paying 2000 gems for it. 500-600 is my absolute maximum per skin.

It might be that they must be with you in the instance when you harvest, because that at least works for me...

Not removed, but changed.

> Don't think so. They need such ridiculous gates for people to play. Without APs people wouldn't bother with achievements.

Even with AP's, these days I don't bother with achievements. Why take a few hours doing something I only marginally like for a few measly AP's? Normal PvE play barely gives AP's at this point, for that, you need to Raid and that's something I simply don't enjoy.

Yes, there is. Sonder now exchanges flakes for diamonds.

According to this, I'm a guy. I have a female human elementalist with a very sexy outfit and I have multiple male characters.

I doubt my husband would agree with you, though. Yes, it is completely in your mind

You play video games, so people will automatically assume you're male. As everybody knows, there are no female gamers! (naturally, we female gamers know better :p) Whenever somebody assumes I'm male again, I just correct them (sometimes) and continue with what I was doing. I couldn't give a cat (too many kittens around here, they need to grow up!) what they think.

> @"Bladezephyr.5714" said:

> My initial reaction to this post was, "Why would anyone care what gender character you play?" The overwhelming majority of players won't care in the slightest. But then I remembered that I've come across a number of cases where female gamers were harassed for a pile of no good reason... A small percentage of gamers (mostly male, but not always) will harass female players for any reason they can think of, which is pretty sad. Still, there's nothing weird about it--that's what Role Playing Games are all about: pretending to be something you're not! If you should encounter one of those unpleasant people, try not to let it get you down. They are the ones with the problem, not you.

And that's where the blocklist comes in handy. I personally wouldn't stand for it, I'd block and report. (thankfully, I've not come across anybody like that)

I most definitely didn't spend that much. I just got as many presents as I could. I didn't have to buy 10K worth of booze, as I got a lot of them from the gifts I worked for (my personal bank is still overflowing with the rest of the junk you get from those gifts... Anet really should do (more)* something about that!

> I have a suspicion that a lot of players bought PoF expecting it to have the replayability of HoT. If it doesn't, what do they do now? Raids? I'll just point out that my guildmates also said they were satisfied with their purchase and feel they got their money's worth. But I don't see them online very much anymore.

Actually, I find the replayability of HoT zero, nope, null. I hate the HoT maps, except the first one. I do like going back to PoF though. Raids? I've done one once, just to unlock the last mastery track. Hated it, even though we played with a nice fun group.

Why I do keep playing? I find playing the game fun. Sometimes, I just like going on a random blind rampage, killing just for the killing. Other times I'll chop down every single tree, mine every single node and pull every single plant from the roots. And sometimes I just do nothing, but chat with my guild mates. Or enjoy the view. Or do some story parts. Or finish of a map or two. And if I don't find it fun, I'll close it down and do something else. That's the beauty of this game, that you can simply close and come back tomorrow.

The only typewriter reference I can find (yeay, for the modern day and age and ebooks :p)

"mixed with these were the taste of Louies first tobacco cigarette, the feel of typewriter keys under clumsy, untrained fingers, lists of Interworld vocabulary to be memorized, the sound and taste of English, the uncertainties and embarrassments of extreme youth."

But then Louis Wu was old!

Hmm, I really must be getting old, I read that book a dozen time, but can't remember that!

I'm from the 20th century, so somewhere between 17 and 117 years old. I forget at times...

She takes the form of the 6 deities? I never noticed...

The same with the first fight of the LS, where either Canach or Rytlock keeps commenting on Aurene. I never even saw Aurene... And that last fight I was like: let her suffocate, I'm out of here...

> When I do my family grocery shop, when there is an offer for buying 2 or more of an item - I will generally buy the 2 or more to get the discount. At the time I'm spending a little more than intended, but over time this pays off for me because these are items we consume/use on a regular or daily basis. The win for me is that I feel like I've got value for money when I acquire items at some sort of discount. The win for the retailer is they shift more stock quicker.

Your analogy is flawed. You don't buy things in the gemshop with real money. You buy it with gems. Which is a currency in the game.

The correct analogy would be: you go abroad and want to buy something in the shop in that country. So, you go to a money exchanger. Will he give you more foreign currency depending on the amount you want to exchange? Some might, but never the official ones.

But my answer: maybe, other reasons. I might, if I need more than 800 at that time or I foresee I'll need those extra gems in the near future. But I do that now too.
