Not had the chance to ban someone for that yet, which is at the same time sad for me because I love my banhammer, but also a good thing because that means that link is good :D

Gunnar's Holdian here, was a bit worried when I first saw we were with german server, but then I saw you are quite a pleasant link to have, many comms, and good communication between us two, so I'm gonna appreciate this new change !

It is still ambiguous, the relink of August is also a upcoming link :) But I saw elsewhere they confirmed that it will be for the relink in 2 weeks

> In other words: yes, a German-language world could be linked up with a default-language world. For example, Elona (DE, primary world) could be matched with Aurora (no specific language). This will allow, for example, ANet to shore up Baruch (ES, running lower on pop than others) and without any other ES world to pair with. It will also give them more opportunities to match the lowest pop worlds with a world of appropriate size, rather than what's left among the same-language worlds.

> As I've said elsewhere, this is an obvious experiment to take _before_ Restructuring. If it works, it gives ANet better flexibility in matching Alliances. And if it doesn't work, they can adjust their formulas accordingly. All of this is better to discover now, rather than during Restructuring; people have such high expectations, it's important to take as much of the guesswork out as possible.

Thank you for explaining what I already know :smiley: The question was if for next relink, at the end of this month, we can have already like Kodash linked with Gunnar's Hold or is it for even later

What are your thoughts on this announcement ?

I don't thing it's a so great idea, just imagine the mess in /t when people try to communicate in their own language

You don't actually need to be rank 2k for the legendary armor, just for the shinier one :]

Switzerland isn't in western Europe ? I didn't know we moved :open_mouth:

> So, Long Live the Lich is free ....... as long as you already own Path of Fire. So not free.

Like every LW episode, free if you have the corresponding expansion, no big suprises here

> @"Yargesh.4965" said:

> Not eligible. not whole of EU is allowed. Strange.

But Switzerland is eligible, which is surprising enough to be noted (And that makes me happy)

Anet just announced sigil revamp for next week, including more recipes for sigils that were only obtainable with salvaging item! There is still hope!

> There's no way they'd kill off our deus ex machina dispenser. If anything they'll tug on some heartstrings by having her on death's door until Zojja miraculously recovers and brings the invention of "a certain Snaff Prize Savant" to save the day. Either that, or Taimi turns half-sylvari from abusing blighting pod juice.

I would love seeing a mix between a Sylvari and an Asura, would be funny to see a little walking cabbage

I guess this will be the week I will play only scourge, all my other classes are berserker builds, gonna be sooooo much fun

Rev, because I always love seing my name on top of the dps meter. Then die because of ultra glassy build.

Yep, we can't get on Blue Borderland neither :( (WSR/Gunnar'sHold server)

> I have a question since you guys and gals bring up all these differences between f2p and non f2p core gw2 account. Let's say if you decide to play gw2 on a f2p account and you decide you really really like the game and buy either hot or PoF does your f2p account for core gw2 also get upgraded to the non f2p account with all functions a core gw2 account has? (way back when gw2 was buy to play and doesnt have the restrictions that f2p have.) thanks, really curious about this.

Yes, buying an extension grants you all the thing from that expansion plus all the core non-f2p stuff like unlimited TP, map chat, whispers, etc

> Personally I believe that the best solution would be that Anet is adding one integrated into the game, what would give them full control on it. It could be adjusted to prevent unfair use, like for example, with the option for the player to share - or not - data to others.

I don't think it would be a good option to hide your damage to the others, because the point of a dps meter is also to know how you perform relatively to the others, not just how much damage you did. In WvW, I play as power Herald or power Weaver, so I should be in the top 10 damage of my squad, that way I know I did my job, but if I only see that I did 320k damage and don't know what the others did because they all hide their data, I won't be able to tell if I did good or not.

To be honnest, I really thing that the WvW armor looks good on my sylvari thief!


My WvW power herald, I change the armor colour each week according to my team color in WvW


I must say that the rewards are too low compared to PvE meta events
