There and any of the WvW maps have a portal to LA at spawn.

Not sure as I got mine a long time ago and the Frying Pan was included. When equipped, you get the skills.

I loved dropping a pig roast in the middle of stacked players to see who pressed F, lol.

Edit: I'll have to look again but I think the pan is in left hand and a spatula in the right hand.

Does the info on it say "Frying Pan included"?

From what I can tell you on the communication side is %. Let's say 20% of the WvW population frequents the form and 80% doesn't.

The 20% communicates with Anet on changes, possible poll is enacted. There is no in game notice of said poll so the 80% is totally oblivious of pending change.

Change is made and the 80% floods the forum screaming...

What gets me is his claim of "one shot" on a raid boss and he's over here https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/17687/increase-stamina-bar-and-nerf-vit-tough-in-wvw#latest hating on PVT stats, lol.

Vid on it never happened.

Sigh... when are you guys going to realize someone just can't handle the diversity of this game and wants to manipulate into something that this game broke away from!!!

I am thankful for the mysterious Vulture Raptor that appeared over SMC and now the magically colorful explosions everywhere(New Year coming)...

I don't get it If someone dumps all of there stats into damage, why should a player be able to mitigate 4/5ths of the damage but still be able to hit and kill you in a couple of hits. I usually do 4-5k damage with auto attack against a full zerker person, why against someone who is in full vit + tough i only do about 800-1k damage and they still have power stat to kill me way faster then I can kill them.

This would be balanced but instead the person who stacks vit + tough will win in an auto attack battle every time. Vit + tough is used a crutch to supplement skill, and it makes for very boring tanky meta builds that shouldn't exist.

> But can that damage mitigation based-on-skill defeat Madara Uchiha? And I’m not talking about Edo Tensei Madara Uchiha. I’m talking about Gedou Rinne Tensei Madara Uchiha with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and Rinnegan doujutsus (with the rikodou abilities and being capable of both Amateratsu and Tsukuyomi genjutsu), equipped with his Gunbai, a perfect Susano’o, control of the juubi and Gedou Mazou, with Hashirama Senju’s DNA implanted in him so he has mokuton kekkei genkai and can perform yin yang release ninjutsu while being an expert in kenjutsu and taijutsu.

Bravo...lol.

Edit: I have no clue to what you said but it was a good read.

Collection are really bad at this. Take Rani's armor in Wayfairers Foothills for example. That one hardly ever gets done because it feels like it scales with players entering the event circle and passing through.

Dude you rage quit in your raid complaint and now you come here to rant!!!

Anet needs to do something to facilitate grouping and reduce player scrutinization, this feels like trying to do raid content in 2001 where there are no options for grouping or difficulty alternatives, there is a reason all modern mmos have abandoned this outdated model of raiding except for gw2 it seems.

OHHH so your saying that part of raiding is the psychological mind convincing game that anet needs to address? - in fact its 99% of raiding, no personal skill required because you cant even raid w/out it, you just be nice or behave a certain way and its smooth sailing (even being nice doesn't help either 99% of the time to get me in a raid group - tried it. I tried being nice or not talking and neither of those work). Wow they should advertise that being nice is the key to winning at raids, And here i thought raiding was hard content, but apparently player skill doesn't come into play only behaving in a certain way.

> > > >

> > > > Nah. You never answer what you are going to do when anet hypothetically 'fixes' raids so that they arent exclusionary and you are forced to group with players with bad builds and 0 experience non stop. You will basically be doing a training run every single time. Since you refuse to 'lower yourself' to that now and are far too skilled for it, you better fix your attitude fast and get used to carrying noobs or fail runs. Your own personal elitism isnt going to work in your new raid style.

> > >

> > > I never said i knew what the solution was, your pointing out one solution I suggested and taking it to some finality. They might need to put in multiple solutions, like lowered raid difficult, auto grouping and removing boss timers. All I know now is that I'm not doing raids as they are and it's not because of the raids are too hard or the content isn't for me.

If not I could easily auto join another group and outshine all the rest with a couple of simple clicks. *People recruiting for harder raids or helping there friends who have hard core raid groups would notice me.*

This part really says a lot about your true intentions to me...

Yes but there are some that have gone sour and become full fledged trolls...

Raids were introduced for a particular subset of players, not for the casual GW2 player(me). Stop trying to change an entire game to fit your playstyle. See OP's post history...

I'm not asking them to make them harder, although you might want to toughen them up a little, but make them challenging with some mechanics. And I understand that this is old content, but this old content is still part of the game that players still go to daily, so why not revitalize them and make them fun again, which they only have to revamp one time and that's it!

You're right with the clutter. I usually melee him through the first 50% then back off with ranged weapon when he transforms because I can't see him, lol.

If you can LFG it, look for an EVOS group. They're real good at setting things up.

I would love to see them rework the Shaman in Wayfairers Foothills with a massive PBAOE that one shots everybody in range. He has one now but it's mostly a knock back. Also make him more mobile.

Not until gliding was implemented. Complaints, who knows where it came from because it wasn't on this forum.

If by teams you mean links they are reset on the last Friday of every even month. As far as pips, I think you can't get them on the first week of a match after transfer.

It's easier to complain and get people triggered than put effort into it...

> Its not in the guild log either yet? I honestly havent tried checking lately. Otherwise this has been suggested for as long as tactivators have existed, I have no idea why Anet does nothing.

Naming and shaming is not allowed by Anet. You should know that by now...

In EB, he's right next to the BLTC npc on the right.

The Oil Pot range was adjusted. That was a big update....

There was a thread on this already. And as Strider says they are a source for Spirit Shards which are needed to buy some items for the Magic Toilet!!!

I don't know if you guys are aware that JL had a temp ban and Gaile may have been querying his intentions for the post.

Don't know why it wasn't done in a PM because I can't figure out how to do that on this forum yet.

I hope I don't get infracted for mentioning "ban", lol.

Those tournaments were way too long. Irc, the first one was 8 weeks. A 1 week tournament won't hurt anything that's not already bad!!!

I think his point was to allow transfers to full servers and waste your gems because now there is such a large que you can't play, lol.
