Haha, I can confidently say they are the best! It was extremely rare for something like that to happen!

I’m wary but still want to hope. I was a big Aion fan when it launched. My parents let me take 2 days off school & I had tons of fun. But what it became & how Classic was ruined, I can’t help but think, β€œhow are they going to screw us over this time?” I hope I’m wrong but they already mentioned P2W.

If they are going the route of "Guild Wars 3" being an MMO and not just another game in the Guild Wars universe, I hope they will go back to their skill system in GW1 and bring over the WvW system in GW2. Then I'll be happy.

It will be really cool to see how it turns out.If there is one "End" objective but several different ways to get to that end objective. Maybe you stick around and complete everything to get additional xp or to make the end fight easier. Maybe your team is only comped for doing it a certain way etc.

Here I can't list everything I'm looking forward but the feeling of exploration is probably top of the list. If you can nail the execution of being put in an random map and wanting to explore, that will be really cool.
Can you remind Greg Street to give us an oatmeal update at launch?

Did you get sorted? I contacted them about the skype & Teams. I just used support.microsoft.com/en-us/contac... Log in -> Product Select -> Home Support -> Type Issue & Get Help -> Contact Support -> Enter in Product (again!!) -> Live chat.
Though I did this like 9 days ago so its probably changed πŸ˜‚

I’m also glad to hear your thoughts on the business model. Even if it changes, having buy-to-play sounds really promising. I think its a good middle ground between F2P and subscriptions and you kind of get the best of both. Looking forward to hearing more about your approach in future updates! (3/3)

I've had in-person meetups with people I met in WoW and GW2, and even had a full guild meet-up from ArcheAge. That kind of connection is unique to MMOs. (2/3)

Really well articulated. No game is easy to make, but MMOs are definitely one of - if not the - hardest genres to pull off. I think most MMO players have had those kinds of social interactions that stick with them more than the gameplay itself. (1/3)

Damage for sure. Especially if its a mage / ranged spell caster!

Just realised Its been over a year since I started helping players get the Temple of the Dredge Mastery Insight in #Gw2 due to the pre-event being bugged. Keeping a rough estimate, that's over 5000 players helped. πŸ˜ƒ

I kind of like it when it matches real life Day/night but I'd prefer virtual nighttime of the two.

More started to come where we were fighting them. We'd take them out one by one and we had someone who would execute them in the back so they couldn't get revived. We managed to kill around 20 of them! We had to leave some loot because our bags were full! We somehow managed to survive that!!

and someone else was like "or we could just charge in and fight as many as we can" ...we all agreed and we snook up behind some rocks, buffed up like we never buffed up before. Thankfully some of them were AFK so we ignored them and went straight for the lesser geared ones.(3/*)

I think we had 10 members total, 5 with us. They had maybe 40-50 players and we could see about 15 of them scattered around their town. The town wasn't built yet, I'm guessing they were planning to build there and our lead was like "lets just take the long way around so we don't get seen".(2/*)

Last one from me! I'll save more for later. I was playing Darkfall Online, a full loot pvp mmo. I joined up with a smaller guild & we decided to scout out places for us to build a city (predetermined spots). We were traveling for maybe an hour when we encountered a enemy guild building a base.(1/*)

In GW2: We were fighting one server and managed to kill them. Then we had to do a 180Β° and start fighting the other Server that tried to sneak up behind us. We wiped them and by the time we did so, the original server had come back and wiped them once more. Barely any time to let skills recharge.

I was a wtf moment for sure but I wanted to see the rest of the concert. I immediately told my guild mates and everyone gave some form of "That sounds like him" .."That sounds like something he'd do" etc etc πŸ˜‚

I'm watching him there for a minute and he is playing the piano...then pole dancing more more..just putting on a performance for his alts. He then spots me, runs to hit front door and we just stare at one another for 30 seconds. He then closes his door. (3/*)

Well I come up to his house and I see his door is open and I am sort of outside of his plot but I can see in the front door. He has his 10 alts sitting in chairs facing the stage and he is on stage pole dancing. (2/*)

So many! In Archeage, there was this guy that everyone knew, he was pretty funny and a little odd (In the best way possible). Well I used to go around the enemy housing areas to try and steal trees or crops players played outside their house. (1/*)

Big bagpipe must have got to her. Has anyone heard from her in the last 12 hours? πŸ€”

Really sucks! Hopefully they can bounce back from it. I'd love a Warhammer MMO. Especially 40k. The last attempt at a 40k MMO didn't turn out so well.

No shame in that! Building a PC is defiantly an involved process! especially the first time around. Going with a pre-built gives you peace of mind and if anything goes wrong, you’ve got a warranty and support to fall back on.
Also they cases do look pretty amazing!

Hey Laranity, Can you mention that GW1 accounts cannot be linked to GW2 account that was created on Steam? This won't be an issue for this event but if anyone who joined wanted to play long term and decide to work on their HoM stuff for GW2 may be disappointed if they find that out later.
