    Guild Wars 2

    The most interesting about the story is the lore surrounding it. It seems to reference of a lot of events that occurred in GW1 and the book(s) which I'm barely familiar with it and seeing this story made me wish I had played GW1 and read the book(s). The actual story of what we are currently...

    Guild Wars 2

    The meta in HoT were way too disruptive to the entire map.

    Guild Wars 2

    That's one of the most interesting about GW2, it rewards exploration like no others, even if the reward sometimes is just a chest that contains random useless stuff. Go out of your way to reach a hard to reach place, and maybe you'll find a collectable items for an achievement. As you said it's...

    Guild Wars 2

    I haven't finished the story, far from it actually. I just started the first part that leads to the 3rd map. I did get the rank 3 ability on the skimmer, so I have all 4 mount at rank 3 which allowed me to completely finish map 1 and 2, completion and all mastery points. Started on map 3 for...

    The Mummy (2017)

    Finally got around to seeing this last night. What a forgettable movie, just average all around, story, performance, etc...was just average/mediocre. The world building wasn't compelling at all, nothing to make me want to see more of this Dark Universe. A really big disappointment, I expected...

    I just noticed in the lastest video from Seagull that he joined EnvyUS for the Overwatch League as their 7th Member. I wonder if EnvyUS got him just for marketing purposes or exposure as he is the most well known Overwatch player, or if they really feel they needed a 7th to flex on some...

    Guild Wars 2

    @Zaphid Remember that to use the portal, you need the rank 3 mastery in Jackal. Btw, the Jackal is 200 contract and 20Gold. I finally got it to Rank 3 yesterday, a lot of the portals are not really places you can't reach otherwise as much as they are shortcuts. I skipped getting the Skimmer...

    Guild Wars 2

    There's enough Mastery points in the first zone to reach rank 3 in the Raptor, that said there are a few...I think 2 or 3 that requires the other mounts. There's one underwater west of the city in case you missed that one.

    Guild Wars 2

    I got the Jackal this morning...200 contract and 20gold, the ability to use the sand portal is the rank 3 ability, so that didn't help me. :) Got Raptor and Bunny to rank 3, Skimmer is just rank 1, haven't seen anything requiring the rank 3 ability yet, so working on getting the Jackal to rank...

    Guild Wars 2

    Well I got map completion for the first map. Manage to go get my Springer and Skimmer mount, only missing the Jackal one now. The mounts in general are fantastic, especially the Raptor, he makes navigating a zone so much fun with his long jump. I bound the different mounts to different keys to...

    Guild Wars 2

    @Miele GW2 is a strange game, for all intent and purpose once you're 80 and in exotic gear you are pretty much done as far as character progression goes. And getting to 80 and getting exotic gear is very easy. Everything else is pretty much just playing the game for the sake of playing the...

    Guild Wars 2

    Ok, I'm still in the first map...almost explored all of it though. I like the design, easy to navigate, a few areas with verticality but overall fun map to get around in. I love the Raptor mount, it looks nice, has great movement, although I guess some people won't like the momentum it has...

    Guild Wars 2

    Expansion today. :) I got my ascended Aquabreather. So I'm done just in time with that. I did farm enough currency in Auric Basin to buy the Viper Insignia so I can change the stats on my Pistols from Berserker to Viper. I farmed a few mastery points in HoT to train the 2 Mastery which were...

    Overwatch

    I had that happen a few times recently also. I got a group twice in a row of 3 that locked Bastion, Torbjorn and Symmetra. The 3 were in low gold, but their season and career high was in the low diamond...so I think they were intentionally deranking.

    Guild Wars 2

    I know, I realized I had 2 in the bank last night. It's the kind of stuff I get and put in the bank and forget I had. I bought like 25 Rayna's armor(75 silver each), used the Black Lion Salvage Kit on them...got like 32 Dark Matter, 38 Ectoploasm and 25 Insignia which sell for like 1G 25S or so...

    Tomb Raider (2018)

    I like Alicia, she's a good actress, she's pretty, she looks good for the part but she is way too small. Seeing the trailer though, I'm not convinced she's a good action actress which is obviously going to be a problem. If the movie is good, it will be overlooked but if it's average, it's going...

    The Roadhog change are nice, he's somewhat viable now. I miss his hook, and how he played before. He's super tanky now though, and extremely hard to kill. The take a breather reducing damage and being able to move is awesome. You can survive a D'va bomb now while taking a breather in the middle...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Pretty much this, I think I end up playing for 2-3 weeks every 2 seasons or so. Or when there are really big changes in a season like the upcoming ones where tons of set are getting huge upgrades. It will probably be fun to try class/set that haven't really be viable in a long time.

    I'm salvaging with the Master kit I think the yellow one you buy from vendor. It's the best you can buy I think. I think it's the same % as the Mystic one except you have charges. Maybe it was just a terrible bad luck streak. :) I get tons of ectoplasm, but not dark matter.

    Guild Wars 2

    Tonight I should get my last ascended accessories, an earring from Amber Bay. Either Wednesday or Thursday, I'll have my Ascended Aquabreather. Making Berserker Ascended and converting it in Mystic Forge into Viper is much easier. I did my boots last night, so 3 pieces of armor left. The rest...

    Baby Driver (2017)

    I saw this last night. I enjoyed it a lot. Simple story, but well told, and excellent acting all around. I love the music and the way it is integrated into the movie. It has good action scenes. Definitely an entertaining ride.

    Guild Wars 2

    Oh just figured out that making ascended Viper was a bad idea because it requires tons of rare mats that some other set don't use at all. So it's easier to make a basic ascended set and convert the stats to viper. :). I think I may have everything now, just need time. :)

    Lost Ark Online

    Impressive character customization for an ARPG, not sure I see the point really since you won't really see any of it most of the time. Still look very nice as most Korean games usually do.

    Ended my night early last night before I tilted after 2 terrible games. First game, we have a Pharah that keeps complaining that the Solider, McCree and Zenyetta are destroying her, and she can't do anything. Everyone tells her to just switch hero if he's getting countered so hard...he refuses...

    Thanks, I don't mind the maps...but I highly dislike fractals. I know they are a great option but simply not enjoying them. I wish I did because it would make a few things easier. :) In a weird, sort of counterproductive way...I'm not in a rush to be in full ascended since there's not much left...

    Found where to get my second ascended earring, vendor in Amber Bay has one. Started doing the dailies there to get more Petrified Wood to buy it. So for the next few days, it will be Amber Bay and Bitterfrost for earring and aquabreather respectively. I can still make my daily crafted stuff...

    I got my Ascended backpack from Siren's Landing too this weekend, and I also got an earring from Bitterfrost. I need to find where I can get a 2nd earring, that will complete my accessories. I'm continuing with dailies in Bitterfrost to get the Ascended Aquabreather there. All that will be...

    Played a few games this weekend, didn't encounter too much toxicity, or trolling...but damn there were a suit load of leavers, easily 1/3 of my games had a leaver on one side or the other. I'm not enjoying this junkrat meta much. Almost had good elims as Zenyetta, lost it on last fight. It...

    My engineer probably will have enough HP to fully train Holosmith on day 1 if it's not gated behind anything, or unless they increase the cost to something ridiculous and have the hero points in PoF give like 50 each so you're require to do a few to get enough to train the new elite...

    @Zaphid I'm working on my weapons too, I didn't think about the loot scaling, so yeah salvage stuff will be an issue, can still gather ore and wood though. It will be an issue for leather and cloth I guess. Didn't think about that since I haven't had to go farm stuff yet. That kind of sucks...

    Well I just made my first piece of Ascended, damn it's a long process. A lot of the components are on 1 per day cooldown. It also requires a lot of no-drop materials, and it requires a lot of them. Luckily from all the time I've played I've had enough of everything to make my first piece after a...

    I went 8-2, I think I only got like 1 bad match, others were all pretty good. It's nice not to rank 300 point under what you were last season too, that was so stupid.

    Wonder Woman (2017)

    I just watch this again last night after seeing it once in the theater. I loved the movie the first time around, and thought Gal Gadot was great as Wonder Woman, but not good a really good actress. Seeing it a second time, and being more critical and some of the magic being gone...I still...

    I'm fairly casual...and old. Game not being hard it no longer an issue with me, I actually enjoy GW2 for that, it's relaxing to play. It's a good game for casual people who just enjoy going with the flow, rather being too "objective" oriented. It's definitely a game for people who enjoy the...
