  1. Hello all. I just bounced in to thank Anet for the changes to the daily/weekly πŸ™‚ When I saw I had a choice of things to do...example- kill 100 Mordrem or kill 100 Nightmare Court, do a Meta or do Events, I nearly cried with joy. Giving us a choice between teaming things and solo things made me soooo happy. I promise I am not lazy, just an uncoordinated player which keeps me from getting in a squad for fear of being kicked. I would gladly kill 200 Forge in place of a strike mission, bounty, anything that mandates getting on a squad. Scowl...this sort of makes up for me being unable to access the new weapons because I cannot finish the story...darn rifts
  2. Hi everyone. I am about to ask the dumbest question ever asked on this forum. Yesterday I was on Guildwars2 Wiki because I was curious about what it took to make a Legendary Relic. As I read through the list of required things, my eyebrows started inching higher and higher. When I was done, I logged into that wiki page on my phone, went into game and compared what I had to what wiki said I needed. I am a crafter and I squirrel things away because "I might need them later." That has been my M.O for years. Soooo, to my fascination, I saw that I could make a Legendary Rune right then and there. I only needed one Charm, the expensive one. So, to my question. I did not see anything about having to bravely march into PVP and getting beaten up, nor I see any requirements to raid...not that I could, as I would be immediately dropkicked out of every raid team I attempted to join πŸ™‚ Is it true???? No competitive modes are required? You just need to make the gifts???? Thank you in advance πŸ™‚ -Lisa who needs coffee.
  3. Ok. I went through and read all the comments. First of all, relax, get a glass of iced tea, and try this again when you are in a "I can do this" state of mind. I concur with the others that instead of retreating into the fort and closing the gate behind you, you were probably trying to fight all the waves of mobs. I tried that once. Ended up giving it up and running into the fort with my tail between my legs πŸ™‚ Anyways, once in, just follow the instructions. The game will tell you what to do. I seriously wish all the living world stories were of this difficulty πŸ™‚ Anyways, Grab that drink, throw back your shoulders, and back into the fray with you πŸ™‚
  4. I came back. Like a bad penny, I came back. I was in a tunnel bringing a bad day to a clutch of fiery destroyers, when I thought of another thing I like doing ingame. World Bosses and and some Metas. As long as I am not in a squad where I can be kicked because of my atrocious skillz I am on it. Heck, I use my scribe and crafting abilities and provide banners and ascended food πŸ™‚ Hmm..I am actually handy to have around.
  5. Hmm...well, the game is alive, colorful. I enjoy the sometimes absurdness of map chat. I love seeing how people dress their characters, I love doing digital homicide to wake up in the mornings alongside my cup of coffee. I do like interacting with people. What I am ashamed of is I am a klutz...and a sensitive klutz at that. WvW is like PvP...full of people taunting you, trying to get a rise out of you, so you will go into a blind rage and thus be taken out easily...I don't want to go there.
  6. Ohh, sorry. I did not mean Activities. I meant objectives in general.
  7. I agree 100 percent. We now have, err, hot weather armor tops for Heavy armor and the game has survived. Now, Let us have shorts for Heavy armor πŸ™‚ Grin. A thought of shorts made of heavy armor just popped into my mind and made me laugh πŸ™‚
  8. Sanctified Leggings are bike shorts when worn by medium weight characters. They are the armor in the Wizard's Vault...the place you spend your astral currency.
  9. Hmmm....of course it will not work because to "Cringe People" they are not the Cringe People" it is others who are the "Cringe People" But, hmm, a way for people like me, who like to play, nay, love to play, but are clutzes and feel bad about it, to find each other, that would be an idea. If I heard of such a group being organized in map chat, I think, I think I would join something like that.
  10. Ahhh..unfortunately, some complainers get what they want just to shut them up...and so they complain everytime....these people are not very happy people though.
  11. I don't have an instant gratification itch...I would not mind spending hours on one objective as long as I could actually do it .
  12. Lisa slaps her forehead, I forgot raids on my list of things lonewolfs cannot do..
  13. Well, I will add my nickle to this conversation. I think, I know nobody cares what I think πŸ™‚, but I think the devs need to add one more choice type. I will tell you why. I am such a stupid klutz that I am ashamed to play with others, and did I say I am shy,. I don't mind at all killing a 100 of something, heck, I would not mind doubling or tripling the amount. Give me things I can do myself so I don't get kicked out of every team there is πŸ™‚ Let me count on my fingers the types of things Lonewolfs cannot do. Strikes, Dungeons, Fractals, Bounties and Mini dungeons...there are some mini-dungeons I can do solo, but, those never show up on the list. Four definite things, and one maybe. If you get three of these four biggies and one maybe, in the same daily/weekly, no magic treasure chest for you. For me, my problem only, I have major problems with rifts. I have troubles finding them so I have not finished SOTO...needless to say, rift requirements do not always get done by me. So, if the devs added one item to both daily and weekly (especially weekly) the odds are more in favor of Lonewolfs and players who can't find the time to team because of life, getting the magic treasure chest. OK, I threw my idea out there πŸ™‚
  14. Vayne, thank you for your offer. When I wrote this post, I was not trying to be a baby or even a Karen, I was releasing poisonous grief which, if allowed to build...in my state of mind, I didn't want to think as to what might have happened...I was suicidal in my younger days, with the result I know how critical it can be to recognize and release such turbulent emotions...even if I don't want to. One word, one smile at the right time, can make such a difference to another Yes, something as simple as a smile. And yes, dementia is brutal. I watched my happy talkative mom, start stuttering, then become unable to speak. Over 10 years time she lost the ability to feed herself, to dress herself,to use the bathroom, the woman who used to jog 10 miles a day could barely walk. I was her 24 hour caretaker. Hugs to you Vayne.
  15. Thank you and I am sorry about your dad. We know that our parents are free from their pain-filled bodies , but it is bloody hard to let them go. What is helping me, abet slowly, is a memory I had when my husband died. It was my birthday, and my family was on the way to a baseball game in Dallas. I was idly looking out the window, when I saw someone is the car next to us who looked just like my husband. That got me thinking. Just like I was on my way to a baseball game, his soul was on a journey too. I should...so hard, free him, and now mom, to do the spirit thing without worrying about me being sad Life is a classroom. We are put here with different coursework. He graduated and I am still an undergrad πŸ™‚ Mom graduated, and I am still learning πŸ™‚ As far as the sourpuss goes, I am going to google the jump puzzle, and spend an afternoon with it. Jump fall, jump fall, jump fall πŸ™‚
  16. I did not know that!!!! I will try that next time πŸ™‚ Thank you for responding πŸ™‚
  17. I am here, tears in my eyes. My mom lost her fight against dementia. While I am glad she is finally free, I am hurting emotionally missing her. This game has been a lifesaver for my emotional self. So many times since her death I have wanted to just end it all. When I start to feel those feelings wash over me, I jump into the happy, colorful game...and allow my ragged emotions to calm the heck down. Grin...my way of saying "Begone Satan" As a lot of you know, I have poor hand-eye coordination...which keeps me from doing a lot of things in this game like jumping puzzles. This morning, around 4 AM Central, I sallied forth to get the weekly jumping puzzle done. I have played this game since launch. I know, for me, most jumping puzzles are almost impossible but there are always helpful mesmers providing sanity saving portals. I found the jumping puzzle, saw two Commander tags, and asked if there were any portals...I was willing to tip grandly. Crickets. Then a very, very nice person, tried to guide me through the puzzle. I tried following, but of course, I fell, and fell. This person admitted I needed a portal, but when I asked to use a transport to friend things and come to them, well, This person refused. He/She Said the devs did not want people use portals and they want players to figure things out themselves! I, I feel slapped across the face and stabbed in the chest and I am not being dramatic...or maybe I am, hard to tell in my state. All I know is I am sitting here at the computer, tears pouring down my face, and hating myself for being so weak.... Please people, be kind to others asking for help Yes, there are some people out there who don't want to try, but there are also those who desperately need the help. And, I will be ok. I will even go back to that jumping puzzle.... -Lisa. Lisa bounces back into her post. I did go back to the jump puzzle, close to 5:30 Central, and, this time, there was a beautiful soul there doing ports. I wanted to hug him/her πŸ™‚
  18. This happened to me too. I had room for more, but if I accepted the AA I would have been over. So, I bought gold bags for 6 AA each until I reached an amount where I could claim the AA and not go over the cap. It worked! I am now about three AA from reaching cap and I am leaving it there πŸ™‚
  19. Another update. But first a respond to comments. I have tried everything. When the path of sparkles disappears, I do use the heart again...even mounted. I have indeed gone to the tallest place I can find to start the tracking via the heart. I have never seen a red circle or anything to indicate where the Rift is. So very, very. frustrating for me because Rift tracking is the meat and potatoes of this expansion. This inability to track leaves me with no choice but to butt into other people's rifts...and even then, I only find them by seeing commander and apple tags on the maps as well as a graphic of a red, horned critter surrounded by a red circle. So, I apologize for my little, loud- mouthed, Asura shout Reaper charging into your groupsπŸ™‚ I also apologize for my thinking I was on the last story step. I have a couple to go. This morning, I managed to satisfy The Hunter's requirements for Tracking Rifts thus being allowed to continue on with the story ....I need to go where he hangs out, and shake my tiny asura fist at him πŸ™‚ So, I will be continuing the story soon...Yay!!!! Seriously, I have not been lazy. I have currently, 833 pinches of stardust, 2,086 static charges, and, 310 essences of despair which come from rifts and of which I need 500 😞 I know these totals are not great for you guys, but for me, they are πŸ™‚
  20. Astral Acclaim is the carrot on the stick which will drive me onwards. That is, if I can get past the Hunter πŸ™‚
  21. Hi, update here. I managed to find enough people doing rifts that I again got credit and satisfied the Hunter...Yay!!!! Because the hunter was happy with me, I was able to work on the story again. I am now on the last story step. I also have Combat Launch πŸ™‚ All was going great! The characters captivated me both with how well they were written, and, with how they were voiced. The story and lore were equally as good. I was a happy camper! Yes, past tense. I am no longer happy. Three guesses why. That pancaked hunter followed me to Amnytas 😞 He again wants me to track rifts !!!!!! So, this is where I am. Wish me luck. I am truly going to need it.
