[GW2] Bi-weekly updates to living story continue. Lots of good stuff coming!
Thanks for the group content fun this evening. The guild missions were funny and rewarding and the fractals run was pretty difficult for me, but it was good to learn more about how to play this game.
hitting every boss, Timely drops (2 exos drops yesterday), ori runs. And daily and monthly hit meaning t6 for days. to sell. And i broke all my old gear for sigils- 8-10g a pop on those (all of my feels as my old GS's break under the crush of the black lion kit.... goodbye old friends). all my charma (now im doing this spelling error on purpose come at me dawg) to gold. COF1 and HOTW 1 a few times- though not really that many. Glorious wvw- killing mountains of enimies for mountains of bags. Doing salvage monthly for 3-4 stacks of mithril and 100 or so ori off valuable salvage scraps (i had the kits so the math worked.)
Viv the cuppard is bare. Im running on fumes... but i want today to be the day.
No seriously it is not that bad once you start paying attention to not spending anything and selling everything.
This really does make a big difference. At the end of a play session I sell anything and everything that isn't required for my legendary, then deposit any remaining money (except for 10ish silver to cover kits/tools/way points) into the bank. Money starts to accumulate quite rapidly.

Yeah. I didn't realize how much money i was generating a day until yesterday. I went from 0-about 10-12 G on boss hopping/ ori runs/ laurels converted to t6.
Dont think big. Just slowly grind it out. a few t6 a day. and ecto here and there. Do the things you love in the mean while and just stockpile.

Oh god, the champion rewards are here to stay, right? Fucking champions.
Champs stay, wallet stays, spell culling stays. Game improvements stay.
An entire chunk of Divinity's reach goes.
He also writes that it feels very samey to the last few of these. Hot air ballons = holograms/kites. The formula is starting to show through the content.
I'm looking forward to the update though! hope its a good one!

Wallet and champion loot do sound like genuine improvements to the whole game.

Uhh what are they going to do to the area of Divinity's Reach when it's done? Just blow it up?

I think the structure stays, just all the content associated with it will be inaccessible/gone till maybe next year.
The wallet looks terrible - a real hack job there. But better to have it than not. I would have preferred a vertical listing of each, column for the name and then a column for the amount of the currency.
After a weekend away, and doing a quick quartz run last night, I realize I am going to miss the bazaar area and doing funky movement through it. I wonder at one point Anet is going to get a clue about temp content. I'd consign Southsun to under the waves in order to keep the other new stuff.

If you look at the pic you can see that by hovering over you gold in the inv window you get the exact vertical listing you just requested. You dont have to open the wallet. Just hover over the gold.

I have a question. Some friends of mine are starting to play, but they're rolling on a different server. Can I create characters on their server, or would I have to switch it for all my characters as well?

Yeah, I noticed this later, one screenshot is not necessarily the best indicator. It dawned on me that popup was a separate thing. Which makes the panel seem redundant...as well as ugly and a terrible piece of organization.
Is that another new tab below the achievement one? Like a flask with a cross on it? Wait, roschach time - maybe a down arrow pointing at a heart or shield.

You only need do that if you want to wvw with them. You can be in their party and do dungeons with them anytime cross server. If you wish to quest with them you can guest to that server a day at a time.
You only need pay if you want to fully do spvp and wvw with them.
So it would swap out AH for more offense and the lesser heals of zealous blade (which blows except in aoe situations as each hit is a tick even the ticks from fields you lay.) Don t know how I feel about giving up the almost overpowered AH and purity (free cond removal every 10secs)
Wonder if its too glassy....

sPvP is cross server. So it's really only WvW if you just resorted to using guesting. But if you wanted to actually create characters on their server, you have to switch your account.
Mojo, I've been trying out that "anchor" build for a bit, Though I run full knights instead of the knight/zerker hybrid. The first thing i noticed is that AH has made me lazy. Most of the time when I run AH I just facetank damage and use AH to heal it up, along with only using my heal skill in emergencies. You cannot do that with the anchor build. You have to dodge and use the heal skill more. As soon as you get into that mindset it is not too glassy. Losing purity is not a big deal because your shouts remove conditions.
Keep in mind the anchor build is meant for speed running dungeons with 3 zerker wars killing every boss in under 30 seconds... so the build doesn't have the endurance AH does. Super long fights because your team does not have the dps will get you killed.
If you switch to the anchor build make sure you have the zerker trinkets so you actually do damage. With the prc/pow/tough trinkets I have the dps increase seems not worth the durability tradeoff. Sadly... this is more evidence towards the stance that the only stat combination that should ever be used in PvE by anyone is zerker.
As a side note... in conjunction with trying that build on my guardian i've also been fiddling with the corresponding warrior builds for speed running dungeons. Those warrior builds do so much more damage than the guardian it is almost comical. The warrior vs a veteran mob feels like the guardian against a normal mob.
Also: I didnt cast my votes for evon either... I should pay more attention. Was thinking i had until tomorrow.
Disappointed (but not particularly surprised) by the outcome. Kiel is the good guy, and she offers the most immediately obvious benefit (even if people are blowing its impact way out of proportion), but she is such a boring, Mary Sue a character. I think Gnashblade offered far more in terms of potentially intriguing storylines. And as much as I would have liked to have seen the Abbadon fractal from a lore standpoint, I think the greater loss is that Thaumanova will almost certainly recycle a lot of visual assets, giving Anet less impetus to expand the game world. Lame.
Maybe it's just sour grapes, but now whenever we get some Kiel-related story update or I run Thaumanova, all I'm gonna think about is how it would have turned out with Gnashblade and the Abbadon fractal.

Is that another new tab below the achievement one? Like a flask with a cross on it? Wait, roschach time - maybe a down arrow pointing at a heart or shield.
It's a down arrow onto something, not sure what it is. ...a book? The curve reminds me of a book.

That's the permanent finishers.
I also watched the twitch stream - new content looks very fun, but I'm still quite disappointed that it's temporary and feels like I have to rush to get it done. At least it's up for a month rather than two weeks like Cutthroat Politics.

Well, Cutthroat wasn't that much content, the Bazaar was a full month itself. I wouldn't be surprised if there's an additional phase 2 weeks into the Jubilee.
Hmmm, a whole tab dedicated just to finishers? Seems excessive, tho I guess they may be making it more central to their business model - more and more to buy.
You know what I'd like as a finisher? Me stabbing/shooting/clubbing my opponent instead of all this raise up arm and summon something to drop on them. It could still be visually distinct, just less silly.

I'm thinking wvw should move to Monday. Is something in that spot?
Voting ends at 11 am PST this morning. So,...
Oh then theres this massive downtime.

Most likely to convert everyones bank to a wallet. May want to Screen shot your inventory. just saying.
This really does make a big difference. At the end of a play session I sell anything and everything that isn't required for my legendary, then deposit any remaining money (except for 10ish silver to cover kits/tools/way points) into the bank. Money starts to accumulate quite rapidly.

There's something wrong with this page... can't put my finger on it, but...
Oh, I know. There's a disturbing lack of screenshots. Specifically screenshots showing a [NICE] guy with a legendary sword.
Who can help us out with that?
full rundown of the patch with pictures of the wallet.
And he bemoans the fact that it all goes away in a month. Which as we have said here is stupid.
also aetherized weapons are going from one ticket to 5 with the patch. You may want to spend what you have.
Oh god, the champion rewards are here to stay, right? Fucking champions.
Champs stay, wallet stays, spell culling stays. Game improvements stay.

Remember, dungeon improvements come this patch too. Run what you want and not be poor for it.
