what's YMMV? my acronym knowledge is lacking

I second that. I tried to look it up but nowhere seems to want to tell me what it means. The only thing I could come up with was 'you mileage may vary' but i don't really see how that applies.

Dude....DUDE! New Hero that's a GOLEM with Variable professions (If I read it right it seems to be default dervish and then can change but I could be wrong) Even if he isn't affected by hero armor this is AWSOME.

*edit* Oh wait......looks like it's Just dervish..... I was kinda getting pumped of having 3 paragons >_> BUT ITS ALL GOOD.

It's not a bastardization at all.
It's a figurative expression.

"Your mileage may vary." means that you might not get as much enjoyment, convenience, or what have you out of something as someone else does.
In this case, Regina thinks that the avatar forms are pretty cool, but you may like them less, or perhaps even more.

It does not mean "your opinion may not match mine", it means "your experience may not match mine".

It comes from handbooks sold with factory-new cars. As new cars are driven to the customer, the exact number of miles they've run when the customer gets them may vary between cars. In other words, your mileage may vary.
Figuratively YMMV means "this is what I've found to be true, but there's no guarantee this will be true for you".

HTH, HAND.

I haven't read this whole thread but this is a Dervish hero and you need to have all 3 campaigns to get it.Why do we need another Dervish hero?

Looks pritty cool, though i don't really like the color yellow on him, now flames that would would rock. I wish they would give a bit more information on the golem and how where going to get him and such.

Hmmm he does look cool, without being overly ridiculous looking (ie, I doubt we will get all the "he looks TOO good, a.net wasted their time on this").

Also, yellow is my favorite color and Mox's color schyme is just like my main's armor.

....and if you don't like yellow... MAYBE there will be armor reminants for him too (doubt it, "new clothing" for a robot doesn't make much sense)

I don't care. MOX looks cool, and that's enough for me. Besides, if I have all three Dervishes, I can...experiment...with their attributes and skills...

Nice, a Necron-inspired colour scheme. Black and gold, with green lighting. Looks good.

ok ok after looking at him some more the color isn't bad and its starting to grow on me. Like i said before i don't think hes something new, hes something that been laying around in Anet data base that was going to be in utopia but they didn't add it becuase they had issues with him or something. Mabey Regina can give some hints about him.

There's not really much new Mox information that I can share at the moment. Mox is scheduled to be out with the build at the beginning of September. Note that the Mox release is a _separate_ update from the regularly scheduled game update for skill balance. The game update will fall the week after Mox arrives.

The idea for Mox started in June of this year -- so it is a relatively new creation.

We also never stated a specific date for the Tormented Weapons being put into the Hall of Monuments, nor do we have a specific date for the Hall of Monuments changes that will make them account-based. The latter feature will be announced ahead of time to prepare everyone for the change.

Mox looks cool, but he's still a Dervish. The only true hope he may have on my teams would be as an Orders slave.

It'll be interesting to see what I can do with him. I've got Mellonni set one way, and I'll be able to set MOX up with a different set of skills/attributes...

And there'll have to be a new quest/mission to acquire him. it's all good...
