The event to establish the Mist Warden Camp is bugged today. It stalls about halfway south along the path. The reason seems to be the inordinate amount of enemy that spawn. Despite having several players try, the scaling brings in more than can be handled and doesn't stop. I've seen this before on some events in Dragonfall.

It's always the same. "Find a group...right." Most can't or do not want to spend hours waiting. "Get gud, noob." So much help that is. Not. Skip those comments quickly. "Get better gear." <-- That at least is somewhat helpful. Several websites offer advice on that. Some advice. (Feel free to skip) First thing is to review one or several of the videos describing the strike and what it takes to do them. Several are offered online. Some will give an idea of good characters that do well, their armor and weapons. Compare and update your characters that you intend to use. Then look into instanced combat events to see if you can do well. That is, try them. For some players, even the best characters, armor and weapons aren't going to be enough. You have to learn to play that character...really well. Practice in PvP or WvW, even against good vets or champs in open world. You have to know the keyboard and be able to hit those keys unerringly. That is difficult for some, but not impossible if you practice. Lastly, while waiting and looking for a group is painful, it's necessary. While some content may be done by less than the number of players recommended, those players are usually experienced with that content. Having a group with less than the recommended numbers and inexperienced players is usually suicide. It will give you an idea of what 'NOT' to do if you watch and learn. Still, mostly a waste of your time and theirs. Good luck!

I have become a better typist because of "3 Mist-Hardened Lockbox Keys". I have also wasted several precious minutes, maybe hours, of my life just because of that. Why, Anet...just WHY?

Despite all the calculations and opinion, I find the new dailies (and weeklies) uninspiring. They leave me flat. That may change with time, but for now I am unable to log in and become enthusiastic about doing anything. I do still do some exploring and grinding for stuff in the new areas, but it's beginning to become less enjoyable with every day spent chugging along.

Secrets...no secret. It's a grind and work and I'm not here to work. So...have fun all. I may touch back occasionally to just watch the grind wheel progress, but not gonna finish this mess.

I buy the basic catapults in quantities of 10 or 20 when it's for the daily. They sell for a good price considering what I'm paying...nothing, really. Oh yeah....something just over 186,000.

I'm also looking for a group to do the strike mission (Turtle). A disclaimer, of sorts: I've never done a strike mission. I'd like to try but can't attest to my abilities.

On the plus side, the story is good. It weaves a more complicated and evolved storyline that I enjoyed. The maps are wonderful. I particularly enjoyed the building architecture and detailed styling. I also love that they are difficult in places but if learned, they are navigable by being attentive to the surroundings and choosing when to fight. The encounters and events are as good as ever, if not better. I do like that the final mount acquisition is tied to the story and that its actually doable (well, so far) and that the story was able to be completed by my rather squishy character.One negative: Be nice if mounts took more damage before dismount occurred and dismounts occurred less frequently such as when talking to NPC's.
