100% agree. I scrunch my face into the confused emoji every time I see the title list.

Maybe doing it the hard way still retains the old title; doing it with any shards is ‘Demigod of WVW.”

I’ve been where you are, and I had to learn a lot of things and break WOW habits. Try something like this on your ranger: https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Soulbeast_-_Sic_'Em_Roamer General tips: - Pick your battles when you can - Work on being fast and evasive - the ranger toolkit is good for this

Hello - I joined Shattered Darkness recently and been enjoying it. I’m mostly a casual-ish WvW type but there are raid and fractal event nights on Disc. Some info: http://www.shattereddarkness-dh.com/p/about-us.html?m=1 I’m a noob to this guild, but they have been down to earth and fun thus far, with solid PST action. Look me up in- game if you like and I can connect you to an officer. Cheers, Maltyrius

I don’t see the lazy design argument holding water in GW2 - there is clearly a lot of thought and intentionality put into a lot of them. And, there is a pretty broad range of difficulty; not like they are all soul crushers. I get that at times things you want might be gated by something you don’t find fun, but that statement is likely true for every player who has touched an MMO.

Pretty sure 50% of all drive-chewing files are Taimi dialogs (whines). 🙄

For early gem items I’d recommend: 1. World boss teleporter 2 A salvage-o-matic ( lots written about the optimal one to choose - can’t say I have that worked out to nth decimal - I use the runic one)

Game design has evolved to point to where we should not have to settle for such binary thinking. It's tone deaf on the devs part and shows a lack of awareness of how people engage with the game. It would be quite easy, for example, to require 20 of 25 different options for completion. Player agency is almost always a smart way to go. And, to be clear, I don't have an issue with pvp or wvw personally; this is is just an an unforced error in judgment.

Two LI methods that keep the resources flowing: 1. Silverwaste RIBA groups - check LFG 2. Drizzlewood coast meta on repeat Also: - Get the bonus gathering enrichment for your amulet from your guildhall. Every little bit helps. - Ask in /m for folks with full home instances to let you harvest. - Park a couple alts at the end of the K-overlook JP. None of this is a fast-track to wealth, but finding ways to get more with less time commitment is a goal.

I have 3 sets of gear I’ll swap between depending on what I’m up to. If I’m feeling lazy and just want to set it and forget it for the day, I’ll go Marauder Reaper with Scholar runes. When I first came back after an extended break I used Vampire runes to keep me topped off while getting reacclimated to dodging.

Helped me get my hammer wpn achv which I otherwise would not have. /shrug

Geriatric shout spec is OP.

Live action, no thank you. But I thought LoL Arcane was well done. So, if A-net leaned into their unique painted style they use for some of the graphics that would get me to tune in.

The old d20 guy in me wants to see Manticores.

Yup. I hate the tinny clank a two- handed sword makes when hitting. Reminds me when a cartoon character is hiding in trash can and our hero rolls up and hits it with crowbar or something.

This is super-fast and a pretty engaging way to get some different rewards while chipping away at the tougher HPs.

This x10. I was lucky and played enough on the maps that when I went all in on the mount all I’d have to do was 15 min of gathering wood/ore and had my 250. The part that bugged me was the dwarven ruin puzzle. Got it done just fine, but dropping those keys 1 at a time made my jaw clench.

If you’re NA you can add me and I’ll help out.

Daredevil is a strong power build. Very forgiving rotation too.

There is an Oceanic guild called RnT that do it around the 1:45 am slot US PST. I’ve run with them several times and got all the achvs and whatnot. They announce in LA /map.

That's good to know - I'm sitting on 7+. was not sure how the spawn mechanism worked exactly. 2 Exe kills today - fairly easy peezy. Will look to run this 2x/month or so moving forward. I'll update here with run times/date. Thank you to all who popped in and lent a hand. 🙂

Kicking off in 55 min - 2pm PST _ NA.

Another successful run today - will be running again as follows: Saturday 6.25 - 2 pm PST in North America.

Successful run today - got Executioner on first champ, so done in about 10 minutes! Running tomorrow (6.19) @ 2 pm PST - NA
