  1. There is a time and place. Too soon, and the hype dies down and some even forget. Plus, there may be changes to what was announced and players would claim they didn't get what was "promised."Trying to hype things up too late means the advertising campaign might not reach as many people or the content suddenly feels rushed and they didn't put enough time in to testing things.So, I voted potato - boil, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew! - because I'm all for tasteful reveals when the timing is right. You know when the potato is cooked to perfection, you don't want to eat it raw or cooked all to hell.

  2. Nobody. I'm kinda hoping I get to jump on my skimmer and ride off into the sunset (rise?) towards Cantha. Rytlock needs to help re-unite the Charr (he probably won't and will be the first one on the airship to Cantha), Braham needs a vacation, Taimi is...well, she's got that degenerative disease still, right? And Gorrik is gonna stay to look after her. Rox is all over the place, didn't she want to join the Olmakhan at one point? Canach can join me later on down the road, he's awesome. Marj and Kas need a honeymoon, they can join me after I've got an established foothold in Cantha.

  3. @"Rasimir.6239" said:That's already done in pve, it's called map rewards. It just doesn't have such a fancy UI as the wvw or pvp reward tracks, but basic function is exactly like that. You can use it to farm the exact materials needed for (for example) crafting your legendary gifts.

    Seeing how low the time needed for participating in events is compared to other game modes, and the multitude of things you can do on the side (map exploration, experience gain (which potentially leads to spirit shards), achievements, harvesting, gathering materials from mobs), getting a gift of exploration just by spending 6-8 hours in open world maps tagging enough events to keep your "participation" up sounds vastly easier and cheaper (as you can advance a lot of other goals at the same time) than spending the same time getting and keeping your participation in wvw for a gift of battle reward track.

    Personally I occasionally dabble in wvw smallscale with friends but am more of a pve open world player overall. I find both gifts in a good spot right now and have yet to see a suggestion that comes close to offering an alternative to the current aquisition methods that is as engaging (and thus meets ANet's goal of player participation for getting the gift) as the current methods instead of just being a shortcut to the gift for those who don't fancy what's currently required to get them.

    Hey Rasimir, I'm well aware of what map rewards are, i just thought that this would be a separate "global pve" track that would carry over from map to map. To your second point, the gift of exploration track wouldn't be available in open world, just WvW. Personally, i wouldn't care if WVW players managed to get it in the same amount of time as a GOB, as they wouldn't get the title or badge and it would only be a single GOE instead of the two you get for actually completing the map. Anyway, it's all hypothetical so it doesn't matter much anyway. cheers!

  4. i voted for the pve option as i am a pve player. My suggestion though would be to change both gifts. I would love to see the "reward track" carried over into pve, where completing events would grant you a certain amount of reward track experience. It would still take maybe 5-8 hours of grinding events to get the gift. Likewise, WvW could obtain the gifts of exploration via reward tracks - sure, they don't actually explore the world but they wouldn't receive the badge next to their name or the title, they would just be awarded the gift.

  5. Condi Soulbeast, merged with lynx. Activate sharpening stone, quickening zephyr, vulture stance, one wolf pack. Get a few hits in with dagger (before too many oozes spawn too close) before swapping to shortbow and running tiny circles directly next to sub 7 while spamming auto-attack. He was dead in about 15 seconds. Just make sure you don't have SB pierce traited. Not saying this is best, but it is how I got the achievement.

  6. @AegisRunestone.8672 said:One of my favorites is in the Rata Sum dungeons. Apparently (this was before HoT), around 2014, people figured out you could get jailed in Rata Sum for trying to jump off the edge of the city.

    We had a lot of prisoners in Rata Sum that day. XD (Including myself)

    One guy (a charr IIRC) said: "It's not so bad. They gave us cookies, and there's free Wi-Fi! It's great!" I took a screenshot of that. Best day ever. =)

    I may or may not have been part of that - at least I remember cookies and Wi-Fi being discussed, :bleep_bloop:
  7. Here's my List for any kind souls willing to help out:

    360x Mystic Coins100/1700x Elder Wood Planks (Thank you to a Kind Soul "Noabu Tobe for your gift!)236x Amalgamated Gemstones

    I've run out of resources at this point, so any boosts would be greatly greatly appreciated! I'm on NA.Edit: I've managed to collect some of these, so i've just updated the list to reduce it to my current needs, :)

  8. I think ANET did a fantastic job balancing the mounts so that they each still have their own situational uses. The only one that i can think that lags just a little behind is the skimmer, but that is only because of the lack of deep water in POF. I have the griffon, but i spend a lot more time running around on my raptor. Probably in the area of 70% raptor to 30% griffon.

  9. I managed this with holosmith, enter forge and attack from range until almost overheated, then let your heat cool while kiting him (avoid staying close to him), re-enter forge and range him again. Save your dodges for his sucking attack (O_o). You should be able to avoid most other attacks as long as you don't try to melee him too much.
