Shouldn't have ignored everything the last three months. I had 500 hero's chest to open. Fucking hell even a slog with a mouse script.

Free legendary relic for one (1) legenary rune.

First boss gets stuck in its invuln-AoE-phase. Resetting fractal, entirely leaving the lobby, nothing has reset it.

Couple of bug fixes and some LFG polish, but over 300MB. Huh.

We are temporarily disabling gliding in WvW due to a crash issue and will re-enable it once the issue is resolved. Gliding is only disabled in WvW, other game modes are not affected.

Zerglings go splat. No, seriously. I think I lost a year of my life wheezing my lungs out, I haven't seen anything that hilarious in like a year.

Many events have a bit of a grace period once the last item is being given to the NPC, so others can get rid of their items and get participation. Many events also have a timer, so if you hand in the last item 15 seconds before the event ends and the NPC gives it another 60 seconds of grace period, the event fails.

Just joking, it doesn't fail. That would be an immensily inept way to design a game. All items being handed in has priority, the event checks for that before declaring fail or success state.

Except in current content. The beacon part of the Nayos meta, for example.

Probably save to assume that they will keep selling half a season of Living World once a year for an almost full full box price, but I'll wait until something is actually released. Maybe it'll be more than 85% cannibalized and recycled mechanics and art assets.

Just finished it, works now.

And I'm pretty sure our Commander and his herald are fucking.

Oh, and that Single-Use Dungeon Portal Scroll is a scam. It doesn't even teleport you to Camilla, it drops you off at the entrance of Lion's Arch like the regular scroll. Shame.

There have been several reports of 72h bans and I'll just link to a reddit modpost.

It's most likely just a false positive, yet it'd still be annoying to get banned for half a week over nothing.

Fun's over, mate.

Just healed 100 nm Afflicted, 0 problems, absolutely fucking retarded OP. Shit's hilarious and will get only better with the rifle.

Switched MoC for Null Field in that specific case since Uber AoE Condi Removal of Doom ruled supreme in that specific encounter.

Cake is fixed, praised be the Lord.

Yes I stole it from Reddit.

You monster.

Alliances and Team Transfers have to die so World Restructuring can live.

Bug Fixes:

Fixed an issue that rewarded multiple Hero's Choice chests when players completed the Road to Heitor meta-event.
Fixed an issue that prevented players from opening more than one Greater Arcane Chest in Amnytas per day.
Fixed an issue that caused opening the Greater Arcane Chest in Inner Nayos to count as opening a Greater Arcane Chest in Amnytas, and vice versa.
Fixed an issue that caused reward chests claimed from repeatable Convergence achievements to reset the respective achievement's progress.
Reduced the number of Clots of Congealed Screams needed to craft the Kryptis Wall decoration from 20 to 1.

It'll take cannonballs to get out here alive!

I like the reactive skills, fits the Mesmer theme. Do I want my sword 3 clone to stay and cripple, or shatter it? Which of my 30 shatters should I use? Or do I use the reactive skill? Do I use it for the teleport, the root, both or neither?

Having a similiar decision chain for my support and healskills will be neat, even if it's Mesmer Light. The emergency exit portal is fucking dope and will give me life. Hopefully the rest of the weapons offers actual heals so spamming clones and Mantras won't be the only source of actual heals.

Just wanted to do Amnytas for the weekly, but the meta simply didn't start. That's new to me.

So I finally finished my mastery and did a convergence.

And I had a blast.

The current NCNet design has a lot of chains you're being janked around on. Dance, monkey, go search for your loot chests! Where is your loot?! Yes where is your loot??? E.g. Archipelago, Gyala.
So much fun.

It's all disruptive. Stop what you're doing and wait for the boss to finish its invuln animation. For the sixth time. Go run after your loot chests after you killed your boss. Wanna do a Rift? Hunt down every single enemy that spawned at the arse end of the area and actively runs away from you.

Those orbs though? They remove a significant chunk of your health while providing a significant chunk to your DPS. If you get downed, you drop your balls like Sonic drops his rings, and others can pick them up to replenish their lost balls.

Those orbs add something to the encounter without interrupting it. Suddeny you're much more concerned with your own safety, and have a minigame of "loot the corpse" whenever someone else gets downed. It also gets slightly tactical because should you hang on to them or give them to Zojja?

I like this kind of design and I'm happy to see that it's not all barriers and disruptions and chain-janking.
