This is just astonishingly poor and outdated design. Why would you give an MMO - an MMO! - mechanics which make you want to *avoid* other players?

I'm away for a week from tomorrow, folks; catch you soon!

Haha -- interesting is one word for it. Last time I was at a Surmia reset we actually had a far better time assaulting -- I seem to remember us ninjaing their Bay whilst they were karka-rolling over...

Good call on the influence idea for guild events/wvw.

I *think* that if we don't have to hurry the karma every day, we'll already be making a "profit" on influence given our regular upgrades.

Nice! I didn't realise that Dusk was so much more expensive than Dawn.

Nice; congratulations on acquiring Dawn and the lodestones! That's a couple of huge milestones right there. Did the elusive Zomorros provide you with the precursor, or was it a TP purchase?

Gold find is only really relevant in dungeons. Not that many open-world mobs drop cash, and when they do, it's usually pitiful amounts. Very little of the gold you earn comes from mob drops -- far...

My view is that karma is easy enough to come by that we don't need a constant boost. We could always have occasional "karma parties" where we run a guild boost and pop all our karma jugs.

That sounds hilarious, Duke :D

I succumbed to having a rant on the community forums after last night's fiasco:...

I've just discovered that you can use Hylek transformation tonics in WvW (you get special weapon skills and everything).

Hylek army event coming soon...

Sunday May 19th, I presume?

Was all ready to throw my hat into the ring as usual, when I remembered that we're going on holiday on Saturday. So I won't be there. :( Hope this goes well! :)

Weird. They're more expensive than the Major Runes of the Fighter, too. Superior Fighters are on the expensive side for runes, but the price of the minors makes little sense...

Maybe everybody...

Well, somewhat sooner than I expected, the Legendary has been crafted...

It glows at night, and the snakes freeze. During the day the little fishes swim around it and the water moves through like a funnel.

There's an informative thread on the pay-to-win issue on the RPS Neverwinter sub-forum, just over there -->...

I remember when I started playing, people would do that. Now map chat is more or less dead.

As for the playerbase, it will be interesting to see how the eventual release of TESO, with its...

That RPS article is really interesting. Radio operators etc would be properly useful for xcore style stuff. Not sure how it would work on an ordinary WvW night.

Both Hawks and I are now sporting this attractive title... :D

Thanks everybody for the help. Who's next? :)

In theory, yes, but I hear that doesn't always work as intended.

The F&F epilogue is hitting at 8pm BST tonight. (http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1e6qya/flame_frost_epilogue_1200pm_pst_900pm_cet/)

I'm guessing this means a patch, which might throw...

Sounds good. And as for Arah, how does 7pm sound?

Great event tonight Duke. Fantastic golem rush!

Worth noting that being on Aurora Glade, the only thing you wouldn't be able to do with us is WvW. Dungeons and open world PvE (via guesting) would still be possible.
