Scammers are noxious trash, and it's worth the minor inconvenience for regular players just preventing their toxicity from entering this game.

A crystallized blade forged from aurene's shed tail (you know how tequatl leaves his tail behind every 3hrs then regrows it again. And again), with baby aurene's after image swiping beside ur sword.

When a mesmer uses attack 1, aurene's pewpew comes out

Branded aura

If I'm not wrong, the poo u are looking for is thru a side cave passage or something, separate from the guild Hall passage.

Might be some chain event related to djinn.

Did it near the start, so I've forgotten

And like what linken said, spearmarshals plea will get u to the main pof maps without story on your alts as a workaround

Yes, serious. Post-off, low settings, filtered specs.

It is specifically pof era stuff causing the problem. Flashy garbage in istan at night, volatile magic flash in thk. Cannot be disabled.

Sheer stupid design that they haven't acknowledged. It is headache-inducing for some people.

I feel cheated.

Would like to know how you guys interpete aurene's final glance at us (I tot that bit was really well done, to capture emotions in that single backward glance)

Personally, I felt it conveyed foreknowledge, resigned determination, a certain sense of farewell, a wish to say something important.

I think that penultimate moment suggested that Aurene was already emotionally prepared for it, but for hers (and glint's) reason, had not shared it with anyone.

I'm guessing a trojan horse ploy, and I'm guessing that we will never see Aurene again as Aurene.

Edit: ah... I rewatched it on YouTube and yea I got the sequence wrong lol...

i really loved the map design, beautiful (k, im partial to snow areas and really dislike desert-themed barren maps. but more than that, i appreciate the love poured into the intricate details of the map, from the cavernous forge, light-meta feels, the little caverns here and there, the art and architecture. one of the reasons i got into gw2 was the (psychotic but) passionate love that went into the crafting of maps, and i do feel that here. there was no artificial contrived mixture of terrains. of cos, im not fond of the brand landscape, but thats okayish.

(i did like sandswept too, but it wasnt as vast and vertical as this one)

but, please, give an option to reduce the flash from collecting volatile magic. the flash from unbound was okay, but the volatile is terrible. especially in lower lighting

prefer names that match the char's looks and race/class in my mind.

all females except for the charr:

**furries** ( i find the sprite options very limited... so didnt make many)

Grumpa Grizzles: CharrWarrior: went for the grizzly grandpa charr look

Roedremm Ardentwink CharrRevenant: from Mordrem + VerdantBrink, cos rytlock's entrance into the 1st part of HOT story inspired his birth. and cos the idea of a charr with an ardent wink

Kai Bloodreaver CharrWarrior: Alt-acc spam-phase char. blood-river/reaver

**Drunks** ( i find the sprite options very limited... so didnt make many)

Irudi Tessellae NornEngineer: (image) + tessellations holosmith. was meant to be an asura but i couldnt settle on a look

Zarya Soulforge NornEngineer: Sol-forge

Veshoyar NornElementalist: my first char when i wasnt serious abt the game, and a free-player. went for the tribalish 6-pack mage look

**Veggies **( i find the sprite options very limited... so didnt make many)

Titiura Oakshield SylvariGuardian: a veggie guardian

Mesmeeri Dreamsong SylvariMesmer: looks-based

Borealia Harpweaver SylvariRanger: was meant to be a longbow boreals veggie druid. but i cant play druids. she was meant to be my 2nd storage char

Cerulei Whisperwind SylvariMesmer: Blue-themed. Alt-acc spam-phase character

**Rats**

Sithiche Tashara AsuraRevenant: went for a playful fairy-look

Munchi Cerealkiller AsuraGuardian: well.... she's an asura.

The Echo of Silence AsuraThief: was intended to be an asura deadeye (but i dont enjoy deadeye, so now she's a staff daredevil)

Lorelei Lops Ears AsuraNecro: a lop-earred asura, but the true meaning is one who lops off people's ears. comes with deranged ratty look

Peurile Dysfunction AsuraMesmer: asura mirage. the basis of the name shld be obvious

Ashari Sevenfeet AsuraGuardian: cos asura have this line that sounds like "i am 6-foot tall" on might. Alt-acc.

Tara Quiche AsuraThief: Rata Quiche. Alt-acc, spam-phase character

**Vanilla Humans**

Vesorin HumanRanger: my second char when i wasnt serious abt the game, and a free-player

Syeni Dawnstar: HumanWarrior: divinity's reach. then i saw 2 other dawnstar's running arnd.

Sessa the Unslaked HumanNecro: an innocent-looking lady (with off-kilter eyes if you look closely), a reaper of life force

Lyra Iceheart HumanWarrior: looks-based. im actually very happy that i had a char that can wear that freebie sunspear outfit

Requiem of the Veil HumanRevenant: inspire by the veil piercer skin, and requiem of souls

Erimentha Silverfal HumanGuardian: (determined protector) + silvered rain. was meant to be a norn, but couldnt find a look i liked

Sarissa Silverfal HumanGuardian: Alt-acc, no meaning

Veiled Adder Verosa HumanThief: VeilAdder is an anagram for daredevil. she is a viper-geared twin-dagger daredevil

Lyrika Wovenheart HumanElementalist: 4-stringed Lyre + Weaver + captain planet

Phases of the Moon HumanThief: looks-based (surreal porcelain-look), spam-phase character

Velvetia Windloft HumanElementalist: no meaning, spam-phase character

Aira Springleaf HumanRanger: no meaning, spam-phase character

Miria Dreamwaltz HumanMesmer: no meaning, spam-phase character

Ysil Skydance HumanRevenant: Alt-acc, no meaning

Sareitha Chilling HumanNecro: Alt-acc. cos necros have chill attacks

Just wonder if future premium cosmetics like legs could have the same dual unlocks that they are trying out with the recent cash head wear bundles like antlers

Namely, the elegant and the blng, both using the same core. As a skritt, I prefer shiny for sure

(lol autocorrect changed bling to baking)

(Guys, he's only got the last of each of the 4 lines left to go)

If you ever intend to get the elite spec collections of hot, u will need exalt5 (it is otherwise useless)

leyline is a potential convenience in ds, bsf, potentially useful in other lw3 maps.

I personally seldom find adrenal mushrooms close enough to the content to be useful. If it had been a durational alacrity buff, or if it were like sirens landing's siren thingy which you can trigger when u want to, then potentially. But if I was fighting stuff, I'm not gonna stop fighting and jog to an adrenal in any team content, if there was even any nearby

P. S. If you havent done the lw3 mastery line yet, then those are also stuff there that you may find more useful, than some of those.

Think the fact that it even drops for 1 person at a time is silly. And sounds unintended (I hope). This needs to be fixed, or if intended it needs to be redesigned.

I was killing it for 20min+ with another viper player {and 2 others who were silent} and we had no drops at all for the last 5min (the first 15m was basically other people getting the plate). The other guy hypothesised that it might be something stupid like, it doesn't count if killed by condi ticks. Anyway both of us timed out.

It may also be that, for some chars, it drops, but due to some glitch, you can't see it. This is in response to someone else saying in this thread that if you get bugged in that room, it will always be bugged unless you change instance.

i just learnt something today, which is what the north and south boat and hill positions refer to.

why is it even arranged that way? to be exact, i'm referring to the naming convention.

why not just have the eastern side be referred to as the hills (north and south), and the western side be referred to as the boats (north and south)???

There are bigass boats on the western side, and the eastern side as a whole hill. Isn't it neater that way?

how on earth are those little bumps in the ground hills?

In gw2 high-end content and meta dps gear, you are going to die anyway after you get hit 1-3 times. You might as well look good while dying, and if you don't get hit you might as well look good while pawning. Conclusion, aesthetics is more Impt than practicality.

oh, i do think that's already relatively easy for them to implement (they just aren't willing), since the head-section for all armor weights are probably chopped off equally

what i was addressing was their explanation **(if i understand it correctly)** as to why it would be very difficult to split the outfits.

because when they first designed the game, each armor weight (heavy med light) used a different model with different attachment points between each armor piece and the character sprite. hence, we can't mix and match between the weights, since the attachment points would clash. outfits used a 4th model, and so cannot mesh with the 3 main armor weights, even if they cut the outfits into parts. also, the outfits up to date probably were not designed to be able to split into convenient parts. but i do think that that difficulty applies more to the torso+pants than to the periphery parts (which are also the parts that ppl tend to dislike most). in fact, if i wasn't allowed to hide the head gear of outfits, i would definitely not have bought most of mine.

i.e. make a clean cut from making weight-restricted armor skins completely. that way, any class can mix and match any armor pieces. in the long run, we get far more variety

an even better subsequent step (but very unlikely), partner with the community to let them adjust the attachment points for the old skins for anet for free, to make them all forward-compatible

alternatively, design the new armor weight to not have overlap with all 4 existing skins, so that all new skins are backwards-compatible

i do wonder if the following is palatable to players:

that all future armor and outfit skins use a common 5th char model (i.e. cannot be matched with older skins). and that all armor classes can use these skins

yes, the idea of not being able to match parts to older skins is horrible to many, but in the much longer term, this may be better

feedback: make the registration wait 17min long, instead of 15min of silence and 2min reg

deaths in gw2 are formulaic. if you read novels where significant chars die, the difference is clear.

im guessing that the first time they did it, they did it naturally. then they tot it was a good plot device for conveying the horrors and losses of war, and voila.

im not saying deaths are bad. im saying deaths done badly are terrible.

i really liked tonn, i think his char design and voice actor was great. when he said he would detonate the charges, i said goodbye. when gretchen said she would defend the entrance even if it cost her life, i said goodbye. when that pilot crashlanded, and we went to save her, and on finding her pistol some npc said that was a sign she was still alive, i lol'ed. when vlast died soon after i met him (i only just found out yesterday that gw1 players knew who he was), i was thinking "typical"

on the other hand, when forgal died, i tot it did fit the flow. the overall sense of the story does not have a pressing sense of doom and failure - hence the usually-unnecessary (i mean contrived) deaths of ppl u just met are very meh. for a death to mean anything emotionally, you cant leave it as a cardboard cutout. you have to invest in its development first.

i know this is really old news for many, but i just wanted to say, its so cool how you put the gw icon in the terrain of verdant brink (northwest and up, from matriarch's perch)

pls continue to hide this kind of tidbits!

For brisban race at least, I think the interval is:

10min race

15min of nothingness

2min for the registration window

(repeat)

Prolly same for the rest?

I'm willing to stake 4 coppers on it

What I'd like is:

1) some way to check race schedules

2) ppl doing challenges should be notified when the registration is up

3a) timer for the nothingness and for remaining race duration when near the race start area

3b) even better, a toggleable option for showing race timers at the notif area

Not sure if I'm reading it right, but those dailies will also be removed in 1 month's time. Just a temporary bonus to get it rolling...

7. It's a daily.

I mean, teq gives 2g and a weeny (but decent) chance of ascended chest, plus much salvage. Other world bosses give 2c.

Theres other things to do that have differing degrees of fun and u still earn something while doing them. And, no, I abhor farming istan and lab

(ya I know they actually give 50copper, plus a bit of salvage, but it doesn't fit the sentence well)

If there are noticeably easier ways to obtain something, it may suggest that there is room for parity. Agree with the op.

Also, think the demand for harrier (and other) trinkets is rather niche, so there's fewer people being affected, and thus fewer people giving their opinions.

As for parking other toons at the tomb, thanks for this tip

The one i dislike is the raptor's wings. It looks like wings that were designed based on another mount, then cut and pasted on the raptor. It might look better if angled and placed like some of the backpacks out there (like the recent new backpack-glider)

there's a workarnd if they don't want to sell the beetle by itself: sell 2 versions of the mount pack at the same time, 5vs6.
