  1. The funny thing is, this sort of thing isn't even that new. For all that people go on about thispunk or thatpunk or invoke the dreaded specter of postmodernism (which itself is over fifty years  old at this point), its also the case that comic books had this kind of hodgepodge right from the start, with characters based on science and technology rubbing shoulders with magically or mythologically based figures. Similarly, the pulp genre tended to lack the  distinction between science fiction and fantasy, a distinction which, if not for Tolkien (who very much was a medievalist, as well as a critic of technology or even simply a Luddite) and some others, we might be inclined to see as much as an exception as a norm. Further examples can be found in the earliest D&D modules, e.g. Expedition to Barrier Peak.

  2. Centuries later, historians descended from the few survivors of that fateful October day would come to understand that the catastrophe that befell civilization began with a mysterious connection issue in an obscure online game known as Guild Wars 2...

  3. While I agree with the general sentiment being expressed here that alternatives do exist for those who dislike and/or struggle with JPs, I can't really recommend the use of T2Fs to bypass them. Those things are a precious commodity, especially given that they aren't currently available in the vault. I find myself being quite stingy with their use these days, and would only use them on a JP such as Old Kaineng, where I could park an alt.

    @Finse.8526 They are, and so are the mystic forge stone, which is why I said that I was not convinced by them giving us access only to res orbs and extrac tool. Hopefully we'll see more choice in future patches, cause Mystic Forge Stone to make the 250 recycling kit are kind of needed

    Mystic Forge Stones come from achievement chests (we still get 10 AP for completing the dailies, so those are unaffected).
