Difficulty is irrelevant. You want to see the story, you need to play the strike. Of course you can YouTube it if you're determined to not PuG, but to not play is your only other choice. This current map is the same for WvW. So far locking away the Almora story is the only deeply obnoxious attempt to make you play those side modes but make no mistake that IBS is little more than a promotion of the other game modes. If anyone is finding things rather thin storywise, that is why.

Drizzlewood Coast pace of the meta issue
thepenmonster.3621 replied to Bealis.6023's topic in Living World
The problem with farm zergs is that they're never going to stick around because the chests have been looted. But I also think part of it is the current compactness of the map. Maybe it'll last longer when the second half goes live. -
Time to take a page from Nightfall?

What other genius great leaps backwards do you suggest? 8 bit sprites? Anyway, this thread is just a stealth "Game ded". -
Feelings about story aside...
thepenmonster.3621 replied to thepenmonster.3621's topic in Living World
As someone who plays the MMO genre mostly for the exploration aspects this map has been perfect for that. All those little nooks and crannies. OooOOoo! Quaggan like. -
Isn't Smodur supposed to be the pragmatic one?
thepenmonster.3621 replied to Diovid.9506's topic in Living World
Having finished the episode twice now I'm sticking with my original assessment: Smodur sees the Kahn-Ur position as Him vs Bangar and Bangar's forces need to be wiped out before he can do that (Total surrender to him is the only option Bangar is accepting so diplomacy is off the table in his eyes) The other NPCs called Smodur out on how he is acting as if this civil war is just the next step in his path to the top several times so his motivations are obvious. Smodur is a politician and that means wanting power by any means necessary even if it results in becoming the king of an ash pile. His portrayal is fine if infuriating. And that leads to the actual characterization flaw in the episode: How passive The Commander is about all of it. Effram should have been stopping us from tearing out Smodur's throat over the grenade, not the other way around. edited for proper spelling -
Why Frost Legion instead of Icebrood Charr?

I could tell they were organized when they ignored everything and zerged my Commander. -

Did Anet kidnap your dog and is holding it hostage until you finish your dailies? -

He can't be the Khan-Ur of nothing. He's bleeding supporters to Bangar. -

Bangar is screwing up Smoldurs rise to Khan-Ur. Of course he's showing the true color of his fur. Nothing amiss in his portrayal of a hungry politician. -
Quick Google suggests the going rate for game designers is about $25/ hour and napkin math makes it seem like it's roughly on par assuming their designs are about a day's work. Of course an artbook doesn't help pay rent. And, despite what some folks in the thread believe, Exposure Bucks aren't worth shit as far as building your art business goes. But if someone is happy to work for a tee shirt no one should stand in their way.

berserker - the weakest class of game defining new term
thepenmonster.3621 replied to Lighter.5631's topic in Warrior
Sure it's a very good choice. But here's the way I see it: You drop real world money in order to get access to the elites. They should always be better than core traits. If I'm changing back to core traits and doing better then it fails to be good value for money. -
Would you rather be your character?

If you're built like most gamers you already know. -
I believe Wooden Potatoes has gone on more than a few rants about players zerging the content and then complaining they don't have anything to do. I used to do that too. Only doing map events as a way to get mastery XP or as a daily. But then I stopped and talked to named NPCs. And listened to the ambient dialog the game was already known for. And waited around after the events. Core maps and expacs alike... Then I realized everyone in Tyria is off their nut.

Should Anet Monetize Content
thepenmonster.3621 replied to Adry.7512's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
Why not just spend $15 on the gemstore every month if you're desperate to give Anet money? -
