Finally, after months of questioning the fate of the Elder Undead Dragon, I've found Zhaitan's body!

After killing the Elder Dragon (with sparkle cannons =P), my party and I decided to check-off skydiving over Orr from our Things-To-Do-After-Level-80 List. Well, amazingly, we all forgot our parachutes on the ship and fell tragically to our deaths.

We found we ended up where our first gunship had fallen, still running along with various other Pact soldiers (who we hope weren't ghosts @_@) Fortunately, I brought a revive orb and thus we began our exploration, or so we thought. Unfortunately though, I was the only one not stuck with the ship (curse those invisible walls!) so I had to venture alone. From this point it was all just empty space and swimming in nothingness for a long while which I will not bore you with a thorough retelling of.

After long periods of swimming and moving around invisible walls, I found Zhaitan! Here are the screens =3
(The dead elder dragon!)


(Mee and muh buddae, Zhaitan. Say Hi Zhaitan!)


(First Person to Touch an Elder Dragon ^^)


(Mystery Cloud! O_O)


EDIT: Forgot to also mention, found Zhaitan's tails that were cut/beamed off which actually led me to Zhaitan, so I guess those are also included in the model.

Wouldn't it be great if when you had gotten to his corpse, there was a little pop-up on the right side of your screen that said "F: Loot"?

Very simple solution. Give it 15 minutes before fail. Done.

Or simply make event stop spawning waves foes after cetrain scaled number was killed.

Or give it numbered amount of waves.

There are many event mechanics that can be made use of.

Just curious what people think,i loved doing this in Path of Exile with unique items,give examples of weapon skills,then utilities(heal and elite included),i'l go first.
(please state reason)

Most overrated weapon skill(s):

Staff air elementalist - Lighting surge - Huge casting time,crap damage,and an almost nonexistent aoe blind area,it very rarely blinds anything but the main target.

Greatsword Warrior - Hundred blades - "OMG i just did 2 million damage,my warrior is so uber stronk!"No,you just did a bit more than autoattack,and rooted yourself for 3 and a half seconds.I'm not sure why some skills have cumulative damage indicators,it just makes the skill feel cheesy


Most underrated weapon skill(s):

Scepter fire ele - Phoenix - Most classes don't have a single skill that just removes all conditions,eles have one that does high damage if cast properly,blast finishes,removes conditions and grants vigor,all this in one skill!?

Warhorn Ranger - Call of the wild - Almost double the duration of fury given by "For great Justice!",might and swiftness?And why is no one using it in PvE?

Torch Mesmer - The Prestige - Stealth for 3 secs(just like decoy),damage,AoE blind,AoE burning,blast finisher



Most overrated utility skill(s):

Elite Mesmer - Mass invis - Utter crap,other classes can get the same or better invis duration by simply blasting fields,etc.


Most underrated utility skill(s):

Heal Elementalist - Ether renewal -This skill was so crap in CB that people erased it from memory.In reaction,anet kept buffing it,and since no one seemed to notice,it became the most broken skill for PvE.Removes EIGHT conditions if used for the full duration,and has a ridiculous 11 s recharge time after it has finished.You can still cast instant skills while channeling it,you can move away from combat.

Utility Engineer - Throw Mine - I know it's a gadget and gadgets suck,but...a knockback that you can use at range with a 360° radius?It's also a blast finisher,can be laid down to set up a fight and detonated at the right time,and has a very small cd(18s)

He sounds like a whiner to be honest. Does he have any meanings about the eye of the north expansion? Did they insult some of the scandinavians there? How about nightfall, did they insult africans by any chance?
How about" All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental."

As I’m sure some of you are awear there is an event in the Temple of Lyssa that has become a popular farming exploit.
This exploit is now preventing players from finishing one of the few, well designed and balanced (Save for a few tweaks) events in GW2.
I’d like to put out a call to all my fellow GW2 players to put an end to this by completing the event. You’ll be doing your part for the community to keep inflation down, and you’ll be trolling a bunch of farmers at the same time.
Best of all you’ll get to experiance one of the better challenges GW2 has to offer.
For more details on how to do stop this farm, and on the lyssa event itself, check out this video guide here:

Thanks again guys, See you in game.

I am of the genuine conviction that the Gem Store side of things is dictated to ANet by NCSOFT. I would not be surprised if that's why half the original team including two of the three original founders quit before Guild Wars 2 was even released. I wonder if we will even know the full story behind all this...

A company like Arena Net has tons of staff members and they're split into many different departments. If you think anyone from the gameplay team or the PvP/WvW used their time to make any of these items then you're addled.

AKA no reason to be bitching about it since they're not taking resources away from anything else.

stack up on karma boosts, chug all of your jugs. buy exotic armor/weapons with the tons of karma you'll get.
Sell the exotics, buy tons of rares, use the black lion kits to salvage for ecto and good sigils/runes sell both for profit.
Sell the mystic coins if you want.

It sounds like you are an altaholic so I would advise against a legendary since all of your time money and effort will go into one character then.

wtf.

Have you tried the staff?
1) Necros outlasting others is not related to others lack of dodging skills, is because they can naturaly take a lot of damage, they have 2 health pools, one you can easily recharge and use to take big hits, the other is fairly big. Yeah, necros have range, but played properly means you have to get into melee range sometimes,
2) They can do decent damage, but the point of necro isn't that.
3) Lol, I believe this argument is very crappy. At some point "no one should use conditions because of the cap, since you'll be gimping another character potential", well then, if no one uses conditions then, where is the cap? BTW, the necro is not just about applying conditions to a target, but spreading them, and then, being at cap easily is better than not, you multiply that cap for the number of enemies.
4)Lack support? Again, have you used the staff? Condition removal, crowd control, ground control (necros excell at this along with guardians), convertin conditions into boons, heals, lots of heals, perma regeneration.


How often can I find absurd exaggerations in this forum...

This is a great idea, my first thought was that I could play chess with my characters on one side and risen on the other XD

Above is an example of printing a character from Sandboxr.

What would you guys think if ArenaNet and NCSoft were to work with a 3D printing company and let you order figurines of your models? I know WoW did this with FigurePrints, but those prices are crazy, even if they're up to 8" tall ($130 for those of you who don't care to look it up).

I'd actually suggest Sandboxr (http://www.kickstart...ience-for-every ) to them, since they'll have such an open system available. They'd just have to give a model library to Sandboxr or the printer of their choice and export character data on demand for the printer to assemble the character parts. The end user could then pose it in the software of the printing service they pick, add accessories (like "attack blasts," loot, or some kind of unwitting monster), and order it. I'd personally recommend something like 3" height at the tallest, unless someone wants a piece to rival their Rytlock figure from the Collector's Edition.

So, would you guys buy something like this? You'd be able to have your character sitting on your desk in their full dungeon armor, holding that Legendary you worked so hard for.

1) It is not necessary to pass along those costs to your customers when other companies do it without passing along those costs.

2) If you deem it necessary, then do what other companies do, and give us the ability to host our own servers without needing to pay ANet to host them, which is also something most companies do that do pass along those costs.

3) This still goes against the philosophy AreneNet has specifically spoken out against in teh past - so it is a bit of a kidney shot to anybody who used to believe in what ArenaNet stood for in the past.

And there goes the philosophy that only cosmetic items will be sold in the shop...

Lyssa's Mirror has an example of some pretty awesome sylvari.
