Heritage armor looks absolutely awesome!

Here for your viewing pleasure is ALL of the HOM weapons, don't look if you want to save them for yourself. Do also bear in mind that these datamined models do not have particle effects and many of them have graphical glitches (i've tried to angle the model viewer so to reduce them as much as possible). These can all be found on http://www.gw2db.com/, armor models aren't available however minipets are so feel free to go check them out as I havent included them.

#1621219 Introducing a new area in WvW... the Forest of Forgotten Foliage

Posted Bunzaga on 23 July 2012 - 07:42 AM

So we were checking on the status of our keep (Dreaming Bay), we had to defend it constantly on Sunday night against the combined forces of Fort Aspenwood and Darkhaven. I looked over the wall and beheld a site, I will surly never forget (it even caught the attention of Arena Net).

EDIT: It seems the Titan Alliance, specifically Condemned, Dusk Til Dawn and Unlimited were the ones responsible for setting it all up. /salute

Here is a second video from another guild member, PrimalPat, it has quite a bit more footage, plus shows Snow join our guild toward the end LOL.

Haha I was thinking of making a thief of some kind with the shroom samurai head, dual wielding swords. Or an elementalist and go lightning exclusive, call him Raiden

My sincere apologies to anyone who came to this thread genuinely wanting to discuss the OP, but I am not cleaning up four pages of "oh but it is on topic if you squint at it when the sun is at precisely 32.7 degrees from the horizon" posts.

You were warned. Thread is closed. I'm going to bed now so I'd suggest PM'ing an admin if you can come up with a very good reason as to why this thread should be reopened.

This is a blog by arenanet's Eric Flannum in http://www.arena.net...elopment-update. Just read the bold parts of the blog if u are a lazy reader.

Hey, there! It’s time for another update on some of the new things we’ve been working on. Jon and I have a lot to talk about this time, so I’ll get started with our achievement system before I hand things over to Mr. Peters, who’ll talk about some more subtle combat refinements as well as recent changes to the thief.
Be an Achiever
We’ve spoken about and even shown achievements briefly in the past; however, we’ve never really spoken in much depth about the system.
The first thing you’ll need to know is that there are now three different types of achievements located in your achievement panel. First, there is what we refer to as just “achievements.” You’re probably familiar with these: they tend to be similar to the achievements in the original Guild Wars and many other games, which means they tend toward things that are difficult or time consuming to achieve. These types of achievements are designed to reward long-term progress and are all account based. They include things like the Centaur Slayer achievement, which tracks how many centaurs you’ve killed, as well as achievements specific to each of the different story arcs. Achievements encompass all aspects of the game from WvW to PvE to PvP, and even noncombat activities, such as trading and leisure games. Each achievement is divided into tiers, and every tier you complete awards you with achievement points. As your achievement points accumulate, they are reflected in your account’s achievement score. This score is easily viewable in both the friends and guild panels and is an easy way for you to compare your overall level of achievement progress with your friends and guild mates.
“…there are now three different types of achievements located in your achievement panel.” Comparing scores with your friends and guild mates can be good fun, but we also wanted to provide rewards other than just a higher achievement score. This is where titles come into play. A title can be earned by completing certain achievement tracks and is displayed beneath your name for everyone to see. For example, a player could choose to display the Dungeon Master title if they’ve completed the explorable mode for every dungeon at least once. Those who are really into earning achievement points can also unlock repeatable versions of some achievements after completing the base set. For example, anyone earning the Dungeon Master title will also earn access to a repeatable achievement that gives them points every time they finish a dungeon in explorable mode.
We also track what we call daily and monthly achievements in the achievement panel. Daily achievements are what we used to call daily feats and have been in the game for quite some time. We were looking for an easy way for players to track their progress on their daily feats, and rolling them into the achievement system made a lot of sense. Daily achievements are a list of achievements that reset every 24 hours. They are very easy to accomplish, and players are expected to complete them in a short period of time. For example, one of the daily achievements tracks the number of monsters of any type killed by the player. Once an achievement has been completed, the player is rewarded with some achievement points as well as a chest containing gold and experience orbs. The player can now progress toward completion of the next tier of the achievement. There are a finite number of tiers for each daily achievement, and the numbers are skewed such that more casual players should finish a high percentage of them in an average play session. If a player is able to complete enough daily achievements, they will also unlock a special bonus chest. This system makes the first couple of hours of play each day extremely productive and helps equalize experience and gold gain between casual and hardcore players.
Monthly achievements are a new addition to the game and serve the purpose of bridging the gap between the short-term goals offered by daily achievements and the long-term goals offered by regular achievements. Monthly achievements are intended to be more difficult to complete than daily achievements and usually encompass a variety of different types of content, from completing dungeons to social activities to participating in competitive PvP. As a player completes tiers in their monthly achievements, they will receive achievement points as well as a chest containing gold and experience orbs. Much like daily achievements, any achievement points earned also contribute toward a special bonus chest. Monthly achievements reset every month, but unlike daily achievements, they change to a completely new set of achievements.
So to sum up:
Achievements are long-term goals with purely cosmetic rewards.
Daily achievements are short-term, easy-to-complete goals that reward you with gold and experience.
Monthly achievements are medium-term goals that encourage a variety of play and reward you with gold and experience.
Titles can be earned by completing certain achievement tracks.
That just about covers achievements! Now, let me turn things over to Jon to talk about improvements we’ve made to the thief and combat.

#1593938 Illusions and Inanimate Objects

Shriketalon, on 12 July 2012 - 01:52 AM, said:

This raises an interesting philosophical question.

If clones and phantasms disappear when the target dies because "they are in the enemy's mind"........are crates in GW2 sentient? Are mesmers the only ones who know that weapon racks and keep doors scream silently into the night, unable to communicate with the animate denizens of the world? Is this some cruel joke by the Mesmeric orders, or do the stand vigilant over the silent sapients in the world to prevent their inanimate revolution?

What you don't know is that the keep doors, crates, weapon racks, and various other inanimate denizens of the world are part of a highly secretive occultish organization with roots back to the times of Guild Wars 1. Their sole mission is the entire eradication of the so-called "higher organisms" that they believe have ruled this world for far too long. Although the major disasters of the world are attributed to "greater powers," it was all the inanimates' workings (thats what we refer to them as in my club). For example, although there are conflicting stories between Humans and Charrs as to what set forth the Foefire in Ascalon, we know that it was a cleverly elaborated plan by the Inanimate Elder Boxlox the Four and Twenty Angles of Right! Even as we type, these dasterdly villians are conspiring with the dragons, arrogantly confident in their plans for world domination. Clones are our only hope. Their blank, vacant stares and statuesque resilience inhibit the Inanimate's higher functioning and shut down the psychic hivemind link they all share! Clones are the key to our salvation! Don't blink! Don't even bat an eye! Queen Jennah is a vampire! The Pale Tree is a cover-up! The cotton candy is made of Asura!
