I think the joke is that the guy was running BS, but in case that wasn't enough blind, he also had a stance to blind.

Oh! oh! Is it a type of cheese?

Anyways, this isn't the stupidest thing I heard, this is the stupidest thing ever.

Doing Heart of the Shiverpeaks, I got on a team, grab my Assassin heroes and my spirit spam rit and headed off with 4 pugs (4 heroes). One player and his hero ended up leaving thus have just six of us.

We did really good, we got up to Cynder. My rit used Earthbind while I used Great Dwarf Weapon on my Assassins and the Warrior so Cynder would be knocklocked. The 2 players also ran kegs, while I kept protective bond on everyone and spamming infuse.

We bombed Cynder, got his blue bar AND nothing changed. He took no damage while his bar is blue. He was still riding on 0 damage, he was literally in God Mode. Thank god my Assassins had Vampiric Weapons or it would have been GG.

It was so stupid, the god mode bug does exist but only Cynder can use it.

Um, Anet? Do I get "Killer of Gods (1)" Title?

Off topic for just a minute; I've had these kinda of weird bugs happen a few times recently.
While killing Glint, she got stuck in a loop of just sort of shivering on the spot and not attacking - easy win.
While killing Shiro, he got stuck in his Meditation pose from around 75% hp and never got out of it. Another easy win... Now I know neither of these two bosses are hard, but it was odd to just poke them to death.

I've done Heart of the Shiverpeaks for fun many times, but I've never seen him stuck on invincibility. It makes me afraid to try Dreadspawn Maw if the bar reaches 0 and nothing happens.

If your bugs happened recently, it might have to do with an up and coming update or something. Lets hope the bugs are not there to stay.

Until you zone, which is kind of annoying if you have 3 heroes and you lag. Then half the team is gone on the next dungeon level.

Just did Cynder again, still invincible...
I'm thinking it's Earthbind+Knockdown that is causing it.

Yes, those male monk builds are far more aggressive with better damage output, everyone knows that the female monk builds are only good for protting or healing.

Still, sounds like you have a fun alliance...

^ That truly takes the cake.

The one that stands out to me happened a while ago, but I think back on it practically every week.

I was skimming the trade ads in Kamadan. I saw a guy with "WTS Water Djinn Essence, 2k each." This was a couple weeks after Nick the Traveler had been collecting them. I messaged the guy saying, "My curiosity is killing me, why are the Water Essences so valuable?" He said, "They're for the Traveler." I replied, "Yeah, but that was a couple weeks ago. He's collecting different things now." The guy says, "They'll come around again."

I was floored. Thinking of all the things that Nick had collected thus far -- trophy items, materials, salvage items -- and the massive variety of such things in the game, I couldn't even begin to imagine how many years it would take before the requests started repeating.

All I could say to the guy was, "Ah. Well, good luck with that."
I still wonder how long he stood there waiting for a sale.

OMG that guy was a prophet! They DID come again! They've been there twice :O I remember how merry I was when I saw they came back and still had 15 essences in storage XD

Actually Del, the number of people I've bumped into in game who have sworn black and blue that Nicholas has already started repeating his requests for certain items is far greater than I would like to believe... and I was going to start my reply with "Ma'am, the number of people..." but looking at your SLJ avatar I had no desire to be slapped silly while SLJ ranted "Do I look like a bitch to you?"

Too much coffee I guess...

Well, that's not so bad, depending on the circumstances... you can run a health deficit through the use of certain skills and still be alive at 0 health...

No, I believe it is a case of after going through the tutorials (unless they started in Proph) and asking that question in the first place...

The reason I was being sarcastic is that indeed a blue Djinn essence came back, but it was from water Djinns, not sapphire, and a lot of people used that to scam with, selling Sapphire essences for extreme prices. I simply pretended to be a person who got scammed and kept on believing I didn't

Back to topic:
met a guy who was wts'ing 22 zkeys for 110 k. That's 5 k each key. I only had money for 2 so I asked him if I could buy 2. He said no, because he wanted to sell them all at the same time. I asked him why, he told me to shut up. Then, seeing as I'm kinda stubborn when someone are rude to me (a curse of mine), I went on with arguing with him and in the end I got this answer:

"Listen dude, I've had several people like you who only wanted to buy 10, 5, and like u 2, for the past 3 hours, and I won't make an exception with you"

I simply couldn't resist telling him that if he sold those keys separetely from start, he would have sold them all for the same price, and probably not have had to stand there for 3 hours+ XD That comment was probably what got me on his ignore list XD

It's 1 health. You basically set up like a 55, and sac-kill yourself until you have max DP. Then you can sac infinitely with 1 hp.

Oh man, JQ is really srs bsns today.

Some guy making nonsense in red. How can playing JQ actually hurt in any way? Even if you were terrible, you'd provide some kind of distraction.
Of course we have the XBL kiddies too (green). Oh sorry, I must like that sort of thing because I want to max my Kurz title!


Oh man, this guy was raging HARD that we were all noobs, yet we had 2 leechers anyway and he didn't seem to notice. Hardcore!

Heard it in LA so he most likely got a run there, maybe it was a general "where do i go if i die" question, or maybe it was a joke...

Either way, idk. Thinking about it, it was probably a joke.

Edit: @ JQ above me, made me chuckle when i saw Durheim's speech, then the guy rages after that and ofc the random "guru"

This guy kept spamming
"1 Time offer! Pay 75k for 5 photos of you on PvX wiki! 10k for one!"

It was hysterical because a group of players and I kept making fun of it and kept calling him a scammer. We all reported him, and he yelled at us going "MY BOSS IS GONNA KILL ME NOW! Look what you did!" then kept calling us "bitches". He acted pretty mad. I wasn't sure if he was terrible at his job of gold farming or if he was a troll.

Probably some guy trolling with the Hawt or Nawt PvX page in mind. Lord, I hope not.

You never know. Maybe one of our users just got bored and decided to start trolling in-game *shrug*

Wait, I'm not sure I get this. So he was not only scamming, but also taking 25 k more for 5 photos, than it would actually cost for 5 individual pieces, meaning the special offer is paying more, or what did he mean? I mean that's like... buy 2 pay for 3 XD

Please tell me what I'm missing here, because this is very very weird to me in every possible way

Actually, the first few editions of the pen and paper game had death at 0 HP, -10 was always an optional rule, with the exception of the Cavalier introduced in UA.

I think I just stepped out of the geek closet.
