assuming we can get 2 more what time does everyone wanna start?

if we cant get two more do you guys fancy doing some of the open world stuff? a la jumping puzzles and such

[Dog Pants]

Mrs Pants is ill so I'm a bit behind due to having to solo all the cooking and Sprog wrangling, but I should be ready in half an hour or so. Open world stuff is fine by me. I'll give Anery a poke, and Sheriff mentioned Warring some Guilds.

[Roman Totale]

My game is patching - seems to be taking some time

[Dog Pants]

Might be this. Revamp of dynamic levelling.

Might be this. Revamp of dynamic levelling.

Guild Wars 2 dynamic levelling system adjustment "allow players to enjoy content on any map at any level."

Sounds very interesting, but isn't quite true, it ony applies to lower-level areas being more of a challenge and yeilding better loot for higher-level players. Lower-level players don't get a boost in the opposite direction in a high-level area like they did for the invasion event.

We managed about six jumping puzzles tonight between Bits, Roman, Anery and I. With all then associated gear and achievements. We managed them only looking at the guides to find them, not to complete them. Some were a challenge just to work out where we should have been jumping, but it was all good fun. Shame we couldn't get the fifth man though.

It would have been good to get the next story modw dungeon out of the way.

Guild Missions are being released next Tuesday, so if anyone fancies some guild missioning next weekend or some dungeons this weekend give me a shout.

[Dog Pants]

[Joose]

I would certainly be up for some dunjins tonight. Mrs is away for the weekend, so I am free. FREE!

[shot2bits]

i may be able to do a dungeon tonight, i convinced the missus to buy the game too though so i may be playing a new character with her later, well see what happens when you guys are on

[Anery]

So, guild missions are a crock of shit.
In order for a guild to complete these missions they first need to be purchased/built using influence. The Cost of each mission is only 200 influence but the level of each (Politics, Art of War, Economy, etc) is ridiculous unless you have a huge guild that has been together for some time. Art of War missions (Bounty - go here kill this dude) start at level 5 of AoW and costs 30000, the rest start at level 6.
Not only is the cost prohibitive but apart from the Bounty missions the rest require you to already have Guild Merits in order to buy them. Prices are:

Art of War - Guild Bounties Unlock - 30,000 influence- Req level 5
Economy - Guild Treks Unlock - 30 Merits, 50,000 influence - Req level 6 AND Guild Bounties unlocked
Politics - Guild Rushes Unlock - 80 Merits, 50,000 influence - Req level 6 AND Guild Treks unlocked
Art of War - Guild Challenges Unlock - 150 Merits, 50,000 influence - Req level 6 AND Guild Rushes unlocked
Architecture - Guild Puzzle Unlock - 250 Merits, 50,000 influence - Req level 6 AND Guild Challenges unlocked

This may change, there is a lot of rage on the forums about this and how it effectively splits the community into those with large guilds and those without and whilst the arguments are going on they seem to be centered around two concepts:
1. Join a bigger guild - this goes down like a lead balloon, everyone knows that despite ANet letting us join multiple - other guilds just won't let you represent others
2. Buy your way to victory - Someone has done a break down of the amount of gold required to get all the way to the Puzzle unlock and the amount is staggering, I can't remember what the amount was but it was silly.


TLDR: Update's a wash out, continue as normal.

[Dog Pants]

Silly Anet, that doesn't seem like a very good decision. We'll see what happens.

[Anery]

Late notice, does anyone fancy a run tonight?

[Dog Pants]

I would but I have a Blood Bowl match tonight. If it doesn't happen or I can still come along when I finish then I will.

[Anery]

Does anybody fancy some fancy dungeoning this Sat? I am going to be mostly shitfaced but I see that as being an improvement on my general performance.
I THINK we could do Twilight Arbor or Citadel of Flame, everyone is levelled enough.

[Dog Pants]

Yep, as always

So, the other day I spotted somebody in Iron Marches who was popping out of the ground, farming a resource node and popping back into the ground. Not seeing the appropriate way to deal with this and there not being a correct support ticket to raise I raised it under the bug section of the forum:

[quote=""Travelling inside/under the terrain"]
Spotted players travelling inside the terrain and “popping out” to harvest nodes in Iron Marches. Not raising the issue to point fingers, thought you might want to know that it was possible. Couldn’t find any relevant headings for a ticket.

I mention no names, I merely inform them that it is happening - reporting a bug.

I got this back:

[Dog Pants]

What's more, why issue a warning for reporting it? Way to be hostile to an honest customer, Anet.
