I wanted to do dungeons for fun. Yeah. I remember doing stuff for fun in Guild Wars. But that was when I was decked with everything my heart desired and could focus on the things I enjoyed, and do everything there was to be done (often with stupid handicaps, like, using balanced teams or protection monks).

But now? I have to constantly be counting money, count my laurels like they were pennys to save them for gear I don't even need but should. Or working painstakingly for cosmetics that have insane requisites beyone my meager ability to gather currency. Would I really stop playing if I got my Foefire weapon a month ago? Or did I really had to do Arah twenty six times to deck myself in the coolest armor ever, when I could do it in six and continue running for the heck of it, like I'm doing right now? And do Ectos all have to come from stupid items that sometimes refuse to drop?

Wha happened to Anet I loved and cared for? Where did they go? And who are those imposters that took their place...

See... and, I'm so not smiling at your funeral here, but hear me out...

That's the genius of this system.  I'm suddenly seeing it, and I am pulling a complete 180 on the emergent community dynamic of this.

Those "guilds," those "communities" that are dissolving as a result of this decision of "friends or loot," choosing loot over friends, are doing two things:

1) They are self filtered.  You know who your friends really are.  Nothing, NOTHING being offered by this new system, is worth ditching your friends for.  So those that ditch... that's revelatory self filtration.  Soak it up and consider your inner circles cleansed and purged.

2) They become public content generators.  Let the giant guilds amalgamate and grow to ridiculous levels.  They're just creating public content for everyone to enjoy.

So look left, and look right.  The one that is no longer to your left because they wanted gear/precursors, they weren't your friend to begin with.  The one on the right, smile, and walk out with them into a world that will now have more events running.

ArenaNet did it again. They took our worst traits, and used them against us to the betterment of the game.

Good job indeed!

GW2 Fan? Check!  I think my fandom is pretty well shown by these 3 pictures:
1) My crafts.  I started the first golem with the original promo pics and my quaggan obsession is boundless.... Sadly, this isnt even all of them. My kids still want more even though they have near a dozen quaggans, golem, and all my GW1 crafts.   I HAVE to make myself a plush griffon soon, I finally have all the materials needed.

2) My GW2 loot.  Items I have won, bought, and I have been gifted.  Found the other art book shortly after the posting previously so I updated the pic. My daughter has the GW2 shirt so it couldn't be added to the pile.



3) My husband :-) He is a big fan too.  He took my unfinished Blue Eyed White Quaggan to get Felicia Day's autograph for me when I couldn't make the last 2 days of Dragon*Con last year.

you mean you picked the one and only dungeon that people are picky with.

how about we look at every dungeon path.

http://gw2lfg.com/

very little of those outside of CoF 1 are specific with classes.

Here is AC exp


Here's CoE


And fractals.



Too bad you're to dense to see you're completely wrong.

37 entries for one dungeon.

Eight are people looking for specific professions. The rest that mention professions are people saying what they are. Posting skewed and misrepresented data is not 'proof' of anything.

On that basis I'm going to close this thread. Please feel free to message me if you can come up with a very compelling reason for this thread to be reopened.

Thorin son of Thrain! Badass as usual.

Here is my entry.

What can show that someone is the biggest fan, than carrying your own miniature piece of Tyria close to your heart with you, wherever you go?

Meet my Sylvari, Jareth. I drew him during the very first beta weekend access, I was so taken with his looks
I have never animated anything, but I so loved the concept of the Sylvari's bioluminescence, that I HAD to learn how to make him glow!

Here he is (not glowing yet) and below the picture in the spoiler tag, the glowy picture.
(Please keep in mind that it's a .gif, I put it under the spoiler tag because it might take a bit for it to load properly)

lol that wasn't the first time someone said that to Charlie. *guilty as charged* XD

And I figured might as well take my chances lol. So here's my entry ^^. I might submit more depending if I finish what I am working atm by the deadline:



Notes:
I played and love mesmers since Guild Wars 1 Beta! It's my all time favorite profession (across all RPGS/MMOs I played.) and I don't think that's going to change.

I'd like to announce a contest for Verene

EDIT: In case it's not clear: sarcasm

very very cool as always, love the detail on the armours which are so sexy in their plausibility

Yes, it comes with the game. Also, all of this other stuff: https://buy.guildwar...lectors-edition

As far as I know damage increasing sigils only work with the weapon skills gained by the weapon they're equipped on. So if you've got a sigil of outlaw on your main hand and a different one on your offhand only your 1-3 skills gain the 10%.

As for if it stacks with a potion, I would assume yes.

So just because I don't want to play the Fractals until they fix the DC and reconnect to the group problem (not me being the one who DCd), I am getting left behind and won't be able to find a group to have fun with in a week or so?
Nice going.
I am SO disappointed that GW2 is starting to look more and more like WoW 2.0.
What happened to the promises, Anet?

I think this lag is the new condition called "agony"

This is the attitude that makes the world such a shitty place. Not to drag this thread off topic. But, I was in a room crowded with strangers once and due to specific illegal substance abuse, a girl dropped and started having what became a life threatening seizure. I watched as a group full of people became more concerned about their own legal freedom than the life of another human. As they continued to ignore directions given by the only person in the room who had Red Cross training and properly knew how to deal with seizures, I had the paperwork in my wallet. As they continued to fight and argue, to scream at those slightly worried for her and telling people considering it to not call 911.

I did call 911, and visited that girl I didn't know in the hospital. We're now great friends.

It's actions and feelings like these that make the world such a shitty place. This "I'm in it for myself and * you" attitude, it may allow you to get ahead, but at what cost? Sacrificing and screwing over those around you? Well played.
