Most of the novelties don't even work in WvW...

I got it from my free Anniversary gift. Was highly disappointed I couldn't sell it...

> @"Mouja.8130" said:

> Well special guild tags would be really helpful in WvW as Benshii mentioned earlier. This way you could tag up the guild while raiding without others and tagging commander when free 4 all.

This has been shot down so many times I lost count.

Lol. Are you telling me there is score for this now?

How is not having an outfit a disadvantage? Are we talking AP's here?

World vs. World

General

The final four weapons have been added to the Obsidian weapon set. These new weapons have been added to the Skirmish Supervisor. The new weapon types include the short bow, warhorn, rifle, and axe.

It has "Melee Assist". It's optional but it is there, lol.

> I kid you not, in vanilla PVE I got flamed at yesterday for tagging up a meta event ( because it was organized very last minute, and nobody else saw fit to tag up so I did ) as a heal tempest. Yes. As a build that doesn't necessarily do a whole lot of damage.

Use the Mentor tag, no squad function and no DPS hype...

Here's the thing. GW2 was touted as a non generic game. Breaking from the norm. IIRC, they said no DPS meters in the game, which is still true by not having one in the game. But allowed through 3rd party app.

I parked mine on the first Nerf!!!

It's Tuesday and patch day. About that time in PDT. Maybe...

I like the set up on my Warrior. Sword/Warhorn. The Shining Blade/The Howler. The sword has the foot falls and the war horn eminates a gray fog around me. Density of the fog increases when used and leaves a trail.

And here I thought we were talking about quisine...My bad, lol.

I never smoked a turtle. Had it once in a sauce picante and it was really chewy. I mean the more you chewed the bigger it got. Never ate turtle again...

Ha, apparently it was for a limited time, lol

It's also broken because you can't balance around every conceivable scenario. From solo to zergs/blobs. Somebody is going to get the short end of the stick and come on here complaining again.

I had this wild thought that maybe they should change all the skills that CC to a cast range of 150-300. See how well that goes over.

This must have been another Rant and Leave post as the OP has never come back. Go ahead and chat amongst yourselves, lol

But muh stacks!!! I keeled a lot of skeeters to get them.

Get rid of CC's and you won't need stability!!!

I like dougnuts...but it will never come back as it was.

I guess that depends on your point of view. I find the current state extremely boring.
