    It actually is, but the odds of being caught is realistically nonexistent.

     


    Where in the rules does it state that?

     

    edit:

     

    For clarification, I’m asking that in the context of this thread and not sPvP. 

     

    And yes, they’re technically incorrect about it not being forbidden in the entire game.

    . The karka queen did borrow from the ancient karka but the events scale is different. The Ancient karka we had to fight back across the island pushing it through the steam wall allowing us to pass through and driving it back into the karka nest and fight it on its home turf. Pushing the beast to the top of its nest only for it to assault those on the ramp as it rolls to the bottom and pushing the beast back into the lava where it meets its end.

     

    Its just one of those fights that would be fun to revisit if we received a polished version of it. Both a look back to the past but also a chance for new players to experience this creature. Plus a fight like this allows them to reuse a lot of assets rather than building everything from the ground up.


    So not really any different. I mean, unless pushing the Karka across the island is all that exciting. It really doesn’t add as much as the Marionette since it’s not all the unique or different from what’s already available in game.
     

    The only other LS1 content that I could see them remaking would be the final scarlet fight although they could simply create a fractal out of that and include part of the meta that occurred prior to the final battle.

     I am not saying only reenable the content. it would of course need to be rebalanced. the reason that event was bugging with connection is they were pushing the engine to see what it could handle and trying something new. It was also a one time only event so it was not optimized. If they did bring it back the instance would be more polished. I am sure length of the event would be adjusted to. Remember this event let us eventually have the mega server system which allows us to play with friends rather than have your pve map tied to the server you are on.


    How exactly would the event be any different than the karma queen?

    keep in mind it was a stress test event. Using the squad system a lot of those issues would be elevated and I'm sure the health pools adjusted. Our dps is also significantly better now than it was back then. The ancient karka was a more active event making you pay attention to positioning.  the karka queen most just stand around and mash 1.


    Stress test or not doesn’t have any bearing on what I said.

    Ok, I'm gonna go cry a bit before logging in today...
    This means that we would go through every single one of those with the next episodes too... I was so happy when I completed Siren's Landing without Mesmer help...

    I guess for those who haven't completed it yet, it is an opportunity to use ppl's help. The maps are a bit more populated again, so it's easy to find someone.


    As far as I’m aware, only the Ember Bay one requires the checkpoints so the other two can be done with teleport to friend stones or Mesmer chain portaling.

    Short of firewalling yourself off MS servers, no you can't. Even disabling the service is not a permanent solution, because it can be reactivated on its own.

     

    Also, the main problem is not blocking off updates. It's being able to choose which updates you want and which you do not. Windows 10 does not give you such an option at all. It's all or nothing.

     

    It does give you an option.  I just checked an apparently one of the ways depends on whether you're running the professional version or not.

     

    Another way is through the services console although I haven't personally used it.

     

    Yet another way is through the registry although I haven't personally done that myself since I don't have issues with the updates.

     

    So yeah... you're incorrect about there not being a way.

    Why do you think that stuff that gets talked about can be disabled by in-system privacy settings? It's like thinking google doesn't know anything about you because you've turned off all privacy settings in your google account.

     

    By all means provide examples instead of generalized hypotheticals.

     

    EDIT: I just checked now and all of my settings which I had set years ago are still intact. 
     

    Also, for the one saying that solitaire was removed, you’re wrong. It got repackaged under another app which is already installed in Windows and includes a handful of other card games.

    Only delayed. And you can't disable/delay specific updates at all

     

    It can be disabled permanently.

    Some can. Some needs more tweaking. And some consistently return after each major update (which you can't disable).

     

    Every privacy setting that I've set has not reversed in the past however many years since it's been available.

    Forced automatic updates


    They can be disabled

    Privacy issues


    Most, if not all, can be addressed by changing the settings.

    Microsoft just generally fighting with users for control of their own systems such as updates often "accidentally" reenabling or redisabling a setting or registry key that the user set explicitly or installing unwanted programs or etc.


    I’ve never had this issue.

    They are not going to make us go through all those JPs again, right?
    This one is exceptionally painful, but I really don't need to revisit any of them. I got my achievements 😐

    Diving goggles in ep. 1 worry me that this might be the case.


    They’ve done every one so far that’s been released within a living story episode. There’s always that chance that they won’t but I believe it to be fairly low.  Those with that portal device from Sandswept can probably just start at the chest and glide down to each checkpoint. The first one appears to be the tightest as you have barely enough time to get to it before the timer is up. 
     

    I’m expecting heart completion to now be required as well. Some of them can be a bit grindy. Hint: the Jade one at the NW corner of the map progresses faster by killing destroyers since they’re quicker to kill. I also can imagine there being an achievement to kill some or all of the special bosses on the map. 
     

    Also everyone should be aware that the Taimi’s Game instance has the potential to not give you credit like an instance in the previous episode but it’ll probably be a non-issue from most who start the story over since you immediately go to that instance. 

     

    EDIT: Well looks like hearts weren't required.

  10. How large is your local.DAT file?  Many have seen improvements by deleting it as it gets bloated. When you launch the game, it’ll get re-created. 
     

    During the first couple of years of the game, the maps used to load very fast but they made changes which hurt that.

    Do you think anything's missing from the game in your view or anything that is poorly implemented that keeps you from coming back as often?


    Lack of things to do. There’s little to no progression in the game. Instanced content is either abandoned or severely neglected.  Over 90% of skins that get added to the game come out of the gem store. I simply have very little reason to play.

    there is enough to be toxic, they transform my favorite environment of guild wars  1 (shing jea) to change it into a cartoon of my little pony ...

    my god, this green, this is terrible to see.


    You do realize that is about as likely to be representative to what it’ll look in game as the loading screen artworks do for their respective maps.
