You’re waiting because the cannons have to charge and you’re defending the cannons from the gerent so that they can. I guess the logic is that, even if you kill the gerents early, the cannons still need time to charge. If you fail to kill the gerent in 3 burns, then the cannons get destroyed automatically and the event fails. So the gerents have to die regardless.

I CANNOT join a group in the LFGH period. I have tried over 25 times. Raids, strikes, fractals you name it it just does not flippin work. I join a group and then nothing. I CANNOT JOIN UP, nohow. I need to run Crucible of Eternity 5 times to continue on my first leggie. What am I doing wrong. This system need a serious overhaul. I'm so tired of programmers writing code for other programmers, not dummies like me.
Please help me, I'm totally lost
You can’t usually join groups on LFG if you’re in an instance. Like your home or a story instance of whatever. Is that where you were when trying to add yourself to these groups?

Ooooooo. And then you can bill other players for your services and if they don’t pay, it gets sent to collections. If they don’t pay the legal fees, they get sent to the Consortium to work it off until who knows when. Perfect.

Given how they are all over the three Soto maps, including Nayos :P.
As someone who works in environmental science, I just wanted to point out that, unless a species is negatively effecting their new environment, they’re referred to as non-native species. And the answer to that might be yes, but they’re also very elusive creatures and maybe we’ve never noticed them before? Who knows.

Given the name and means of release, it's definitely only for marketing purposes and doesn't reflect any lore at the time.
Not quite true.
There's no real evidence that Jormag was empowered by Kralkatorrik's death, and EoD establishes that Soo-Woe never got any Kralk magic from his death because Aurene took it all in when she ascended as an Elder Dragon (hence why Ankka needed to use the extractor on Aurene then on Soo-Woe to unleash Void). This is further supported by how there are no Crystal-Infused Icebrood or Destroyers in IBS. Jormag was also established as being much more careful about mixing magic in IBS, which is why we don't see any Death-Infused or Plant-Infused icebrood beyond the one in LWS3, and why Jormag was more coherent than Primordus or Kralkatorrik - less effected by Torment / conflicting magics.
I said the enemy never appeared in game, which would suggest the developers felt it was out of place and decided not to use it. But the model is obviously a combination of icebrood and branded spectra leyline magic.

It’s supposed to represent the time when leyline magic was unstable. We were killing elder dragons and their absorbed magic was released. Because of the death of some dragons, the remaining ones encountered leyline magic spectra that would have been filtered out by the now dead dragons. Then, the elder dragons were not used to eating this type of magic and, as a result, were inexperienced with using it. That’s when we started seeing the death-branded shatterer, vine-touched destroyers, death-touched destroyers, et cetera. The dragons later became more experienced with utilizing the magic and we stopped seeing the hybrids.
The mini you’re referring to was an example of an icebrood infused with shatterer spectrum leyline magic. It never appeared in game as a full monster but was a promotional give-away in partnership with Quiznos subs for a limited time probably a few years ago now at this point.
hope that helps.

I am really courius how old you Guys are, i feel Like the avarage age of the Players has increased more than the Game has in age increased. This could explain some Design Changes the company Made over the years. I feel Like he majority of the Players is in between the 30's and 40's. While at Release it felt more Like Mostplayers are in the 10's and 20's.
I have been playing this game since it came out in 2012 and played the original Guild Wars before that. I was 20 when Guild Wars 2 came out. So I feel like a lot of us have aged with the game, which is why a bulk of the player base is now a little older, between 30 and 40 years old, whereas we were in our 20s upon release.

not sure what you mean by this: the amount of Barrier is based on Healing Power, not Hit Points
The amount of barrier from a user’s skills scales with healing power, but the maximum barrier a target can receive is capped at 50% of the targets maximum health. Maybe they’re referring to that.

Are you doing something in PvE with the Secrets of the Obscure story when not in WvW. Could be to do with the Heart of the Obscure mastery.

They can give us Ankka’s eyes. She had heterochromia. Plus, we killed her. So she doesn’t need them anymore.

The merchant from Bloodstone Fen to buy the skills is in the new maps. He asks you if you want to buy them and you say you already have them, so I imagine the merchant is there to buy them should you still need them.

Maybe we’ll each get a new floating island to decorate now that there’s apparently a hidden layer of sky islands.

It introduces fomo into a game that has never historically had it (since OG season 1, anyway).
There has always been some degree of fomo in this game. Didn’t login to the current living story the month during its release? Now it’s 200 gems. You missed the latest gemstore sale? You could have to wait for a year or more for some of those items to be back again. You missed your daily? No gold for you. You missed your weekly raids/ key run/ guild missions/ strikes/ fractal dailies/ weekly wvw pips/ seasonal pvp pips/festival? No rewards for that week/day/season. Now obviously you shouldn’t get rewarded for things you didn’t do, but the reality is, there’s that perfect world where you never missed a reward and gotten the most for never missing a deadline. We live in the world where you have only received a fraction of that 100%. That is fundamentally because of how the game’s rewards are structured. It rewards you more for doing certain things periodically at certain points in time, rather than when you have time or when you want to do something.
I’m not complaining. I love this game. I’m just saying fomo is a fundamental pillar of how this game rewards its playerbase.

Every single time we get some new info about SotO, we get a flood of posts of people being toxic and angry about some small detail about it. Today we got more information about the Wizard's Vault, and I'm really excited about it. Pretty much everything about it is a straight upgrade from the daily system we have today. But then it seems like the entire playerbase wants to drown all excitement and hype of the new expansion under a flood of negativity and nitpicks. I'm legitimately happy and excited for all the new features SotO will bring, why aren't you guys?
Misery.

From what I remember the Guardians had to do with Abaddon, who was the one who gave humans magic or something to that effect so them having ties to an ancient wizard order that may have been active when he was still around would make some sense.
Yes the prison was in Abaddon's Reliquary in Siren's Reef (Orr), correct.

Did anyone else notice the golems in this video are the same golems that guarded Lazarus’s imprisonment location? So maybe there’s some connection to the Mursaat, Shining Blade, Livia, or something.
I don’t think these golems are used anywhere else except that one story instance and now here.
They’re called “Guardian of Secrets” or “Guardian Abomination”.
I really hope it’s not just asset reuse. And the fact that it’s in the town area means it’s not part of the distortions/rifts, but put there by the characters (I think).

More stuff.
Haven’t you ever seen The Nutcracker? They give the girls dolls and the boys toy guns as Christmas gifts. If anything, they should let the girls have guns and the boys have dolls too.
By the way, The Nutcracker first came out in 1954 and the main female role gets a nutcracker as a toy, which can come to life and fight giant rats with a sword. So… idk things have always been a bit dangerous.
