Wow, someone read my mind! Ugh! LOL

Its a cross between a horse, griffon, cow, unicorn, peacock -- oh my... LOL

Too true...

Only other MMO I play is Lord of the Rings Online.

Not the greatest MMO by all means, but being a huge fan of Middle Earth, there is no other game that does story adaptation better than LOTRO.

Stuck again -- ALOT are stuck but probably don't come to the forums

Soooo...what's up with the queues today?

ANET, are you aware there are errors all over the place?

Stuck in queue, 10 ready-ups waiting for match

Error messages

etc. etc.

Stuck in ranked queue -- Match begin 6/10 players hit ready -- can't leave queue.

HaLP!

Why do you care? I mean congratulations you're an elite player who can snooze through raids. Does it really matter if others can obtain it and how its obtained? I got mine through WvW but again....why do you or anyone else care how its obtained? I'll never understand it lol...

I'm dying of laughter reading this entire thread. Nothing more to complain about thief -- nerf underwater skillz!111!! ...

You are sitting on a gold mine if you have 10k+ spirit shards. You should google on how to convert spirit shards to gold. :)

> Normally you can say that an increase in power leads to better direct results than an increase in critical-rate (precision) or critical-power (ferocity). The reason is rather simple. Precision and Ferocity require a critical hit to be effective. Power improves normal & critical hits. Most power-builds try to reach a critical-hit-chance of 65-70 % (group-play), as there exist group-buffs (Spotter & Banner of Discipline) and Fury, which can boost you up to almost 100 %. The closer you are to 100 % cirt-rate, the more you can think about investing additional stats into ferocity.

> There is another thing to keep in mind, your survival. It depends a lot on the game-mode you play and your level of skill with your class. But if you happen to die a lot, you may never reach the full capacity of a stacking sigil. So a sigil with fixed stat-increase might be more helpful. Stacking sigils can be useful in Open World PvE or in WvW. If you use it in WvW, charge it up on NPCs (ambient yellow creatures & guards) only. The bonus on NPCs is 10, the bonus on players is 5. It takes a while to charge it up, but the boost will be significant.

Pretty sure the bonus stacks from NPCs/creatures is 1 and players is 5.

Yes but the " 12 days of wintersday" was actually for a whole month.... Not literally 12 days :)

I wonder why there's no Wintersday sales event this year?

Last year we had sales that went on from DEC 4 all the way to JAN 5.

Pretty disappointed nothing this year -- looks like I won't be spending any gems. :(

> @"Kitta.3657" said:

> the fattest no i can give you

Seconded. The endless CC spam is bad enough.

Although, I could be in favor of buffing the NPCs on one condition:

Remove all the other trash mobs that have no place in WvW. Or make them green and just there for ambience.

Yeah, I always found it odd how it takes me almost twice as long to get someone from downstate to dead, than to get them to downstate in the first place. Silly mechanic.

Get rid of downstate for good!

> Aaah, so it is definitely an in-game advantage that you can buy with gems. Gotcha. SMH.

Ahh, so it is definitely an in-game item (just like the Candy Corn Gobbler) that you can buy with gems to support the game you play. Gotcha.

I'd pay an extra 200g to convert it into an infusion instead of a shoulder piece. :)

Maybe OP meant 'ranged' staff dps --

They should have done it differently.

Equipment templates and build templates, yay. But let us lock them and give us a "free build" mode in which we can modify with whatever changeable build we want/need without changing our saved equip/trait builds.

Yeah -- Re-link every week or 2 weeks even. That will stop the server hoppers. But then again..that means no gem sales...

This....was basically a face tank ordeal.

Ahh, ok. I got excited for a moment...

LOL? -- I eat Ele's for breakfast.

Wait -- you get a selectable Acended armor Chest at the end of this track?? Do you mean a choosable chest, or an actual chest piece?

FYI -- Joining in a Silverwastes RIBA group lets the xp flow in. A lot of people forget that gives you core Tyria Mastery xp and not HoT.
