Whoa, wasn't that party in ToA fun? Incase you missed it, a lot of the guru crew went over to ToA expecting the update to happen at a reasonable time, and so most of us could laugh at people "crying" for losing Ursan/HB ness. There were ursans. There was popcorn. I took screenies!

It's Puddin Cheeks! The mastermind of the thread that lead to this insanity :P.

If you took screenies / you were there, put them up xD. We should do this kind of thing more often, it was good fun meeting people off the forums in... virtual flesh.

Aww, I always miss out on the good stuff

Also, to the slightly purple haired Ele dancing in the first picture, the one with the buns, that is a nice looking armour combo.

I don't really understand this, but your necros life/skills made me giggle kind of hard, so this thread's alright in my book.

Oh damn there I am, why'd you make it so Kai covered me up in that last shot? Not fair. I also realized I spelled Rahja's name wrong.. and you might want to get rid of that chat as you can't post names haha.

Sadly enough, I had to leave a couple of hours before the update showed.

The best part of it were like most people go, "All we have to do now is bring [Arcane Mimicry] and we can still use it."

LOLZ, incorrect, the made [Ursan Blessing] an Elite Form now, so LOLZ *200.

I am sick from so much popcorn and Vodka(InRl).

Ooh! There's me! The teal warrior... and hello Mallyx!

It was a load of fun meeting you guys, even when the update was about 5 hours later than we had expected.

Every time we neared a new hour, everyone began counting down... it was funny, almost like a New Year countdown kind of thing.

*maximises Firefox window* Pfft, pansy. Those images are fine! *end sarcasm*
*reduces Firefox window to normal size* Horizontal scrolling is very annoying. I do wish people would stick to the image rules posted in the Screenshot Exposition forum. 1440px wide is far too big.

Edit: Resolution 1600x1050 (widescreen) but I keep Firefox at about 2-thirds screen size because I like it that way, no huge amounts of pointless annoying space. I want dual monitors D:

Yeah but my maximum resolution is 1280x1204. The pictures are 1440px wide, which has me scrolling. Nothing I can do about it, not my screen. Will be fine on my own screen though.

Oh noes! I have to spend an extra 3 seconds scrolling across to read that extra word, and then another 3 seconds scrolling back! What will we do!?

Seriously though, sorry for making them massive, I forgot that I got a new widescreen monitor xP. Don't worry, another post and then it will be page 2...

Was this just spur of the moment and fortuitous coincidence or was it planned out in some back ally fashion?

It was basically a bunch of people who got together, saying "I'm gonna be in ToA laughing at the ursans!" and eventually it turned into a full-fledged party.

Good stuff, really, it's nice to see guru people doing something other than flaming each other

I posted a bit about forming a team in district 2 in Riverside yesterday...the thread's name eludes me. Pretty fun party, though I got bombarded by generic insults from Ursaners simply for playing the violin one too many times. Apparently I'm 'ghey' and 'probably felt teh same wai when SS wuz nurfed'. Good times!

And, of course, I have some pictures:

The party started off very small:

And then quickly skyrocketed:

It was nice to see pseudo-familiar faces in the actual medium we discuss so fervently. I wouldn't mind doing something similar in the future.

Took a few screenshots while myself and TAB were there. Left them normal size because I'm not using img tags.

My name on that character, as y'may have guessed, is Animus Eversius.

Do I need to blur the names if the images are links rather than directly [img]-tagged?

- DOA HM required, the last I've been there, R10 warriors, dervishes or rangers because they had higher armor. AFAIK they didn't want paragons (useless), assassins (noobs who died too easily), or anything squishy.

- UW Speedclears wanted W/Me Ursans for mesmer mantras.

Facts: Paragons have 80AL like warriors, assassins have 70AL like rangers and dervs, and every class can go up to 70AL as long as they have that insigna which puts +10AL while you attack... forgot the name. Add a shield to that. Necros have Tormentor insignas and not a lot of stuff deals holy damage in DOA.

AFAIK the only place where holy damage is massively dealt in UW is the smites and a terra takes care of that. You DON'T need 156AL (80AL basic, 20 from R10 ursan, 16 from shield, 40 from mantra) to be able to clear UW. I've been in a few groups that weren't too stuck-up to let me in, and even if I aggroed I wouldn't take -that- much more damage, at 86AL basic (70 from tormentor insignas, +16 from shield, so 106AL with Ursan), than the warrior next to me who wasn't even a W/Me.

But PUGs are stuck-up so yes, there was still class discrimination. Even between the ranks it was (c'mon, a R6 within the group will not mess a whole run up!), and people were still reticent in taking R10 mesmers, rits and assassins.
