People need to get over themself. Seriously. What business do you all have if people play discord or not? Some people here think they can choose how people SHOULD be playing a game...

You sir, deserve a statue for saying that. It shall be called, the statue of awesomeness and it will be placed in the middle of Lion's Arch. It's penis will be 5m long, and it will squirt liquid LSD for all to drink. Also, every 5 minutes, it will come to life and just instakill a SF/Discord hater that keeps saying this game should be played their way (I don't use discord myself) whatever they are doing. Preferably like when they're about to kill Kanaxai. After he killed them, he will use the monster skill "HRRRRUUUUUKKK" and he will take a huge crap on top of the players corpse. Afterwards he will come back to LA and tell the tale of the slain hater. We will all sit around him and listen, and after he's done talking, he'll turn back into a statue, and we'll all dance around him singing the "Hater's gonna hate song."

Lyrics will be as followed:

Haters will always be around
telling us how to play,
making their horrible whining sound,
but of course we all know what to SAAAAAY

Hater's gonna hate,
Hater's gonna hate,
Hater's gonna HAAAATTTEE,
Well, hater's are gonna hate!

This special post is especially directed to the following thread in which I will deliberately not partake:

P.S.: yes I made all of this up on the fly.

The problem isn't just that people want to use discord, there is NOTHING wrong with it on it's own. The problem is that alot of the discord users swear by it and seem to think discord is the only thing that works (not all of them do).

I've seen examples that would belong in this thread by far. About a week ago a player reported all SCers in toa because they were "hacking noobs". His reason: he couldn't discord UW HM, so obviously it's impossible to do it in any way... (fun fact: the idiot got dhuumed, probably for /report abuse).

That kind of thing is the reason that discord is seen as a bad thing by alot of people. Unfortunatly people like the idiot I just mentioned are not rare... They treat discord as a miracle cure to prevent all forms of failure and often insist there is no possible better 7h team (or any team in general) that doesn't use discord. As long as these people exist, people will hate discord for it (or any build/setup with alot of them supporting it, for that matter).
Ofcourse there are people who just randomly hate discord too, those exist for anything.

Personally, I couldn't care less if someone uses discord, as long as you aren't an idiot. Now stop the discord/SF flaming (both sides) and go back on topic before the mods lock this down.

I didn't hate prenerf SF and I don't hate Discord. It was just my thought. As many people seem to think they can choose how everybody is gonna play :/

I know and I actually agree, I did say it werent all the discord users, just alot of them are like that (atleast the ones that make it obvious they use discord).
Personally, I have absolutely nothing against SF (both post and pre nerf). I will argue in favor of an SF nerf to go towards balance rather then locking up in the current meta as that is the side with the understandable arguments, but I do not care if it happens or not.

People can play whatever they want if you ask me, regardless of common sense. The reason I choose nerfing main skills and buffing weak ones is simply that I want to see the meta shift over time, without major buffs/nerfs it will lock up as its starting to do.

False, I said I wasn't gonna partake in the discussion, which I am not. My partaking in the discussion would be me saying I think SF should or should not be nerfed. I just informed our poor old gray dude of the fact that that was not Jeydra in the SS's.

The stupidest thing I ever heard while playing guild wars is the song Friday. I accidently clicked the link when it was on the home page on YouTube. I must say tho, it made me wanna kill shit in game more so I guess it almost wasn't a complete waste of a song. An tbh, it's not that bad of a song, after the first 5 seconds my ears were bleeding so badly that I couldn't hear it anymore

I had a similar experience when ANet trolled us by linking friday to a pic on april fools day. I immediately shut my comp off and went on CoD to blow some brains out.

And, like the 6 feathers thing, I'm more inclined to think the guy forgot to add the word "full." Inference can be as damning as implication.

I actually thought that at first but its still not stupid. All the hero tonics are bleh except the shinning blade harlot(livia) and even shes not that great. All the hero tonics will be <100k soon. He prob got one for 10e to.

He needs to elaborate what he thought was stupid.

"El Vekk" is the hero that comes with the Spanish-language version of GW or something?

Now I want a tella-novella style machinima featuring the diabolical El Vekk and his plans to steal some grandma's fortune.

Well, I was asked to join a guild once. When I asked what faction they belonged to, I was told "I have no idea". I mean... How can you not know...?

Because not every guild is created or populated by people who also have Factions. The first several months existence of our guild it wasn't part of either faction, nor would I have had any idea what "faction" was until I got far enough along in the actual Factions story line to explain to my best friend - our guild leader - what faction was and why it was desirable for us to be Luxon so we could ally with another friend's guild.

Anyone can create a guild, even new people... and many of them look to build their membership so as to explore the rest of the game together.

I guess that could have been the case. At the time I had the impression the guild wasn't brand new though.

Unless you're faction farming, the only time you'd even think about it was if you were going to change alliances.

Reminds me of a guy that swore that you can't dedicate Destroyer weapons to the HoM. There was no such thing as a dedicated/customized destroyer weapon, when I proposed him to show him mine, he called me a liar and a noob. He wouldn't open trade because I would be lying anyway.

Either he was very stupid, or very, very eager to scam someone with one of his own custo'd destroyer weapons, because I caught him in a discussion in Kaineng Center with another guy.

Last night, i was trying to join in a pug as a monk healer to do zaishen vanquish and this is what i found.





After seeing that I left the group (before it even started) and went to do something else. The formation is bad enough, and seeing that build scared me away. From now on, i think i am better off with 7 heros

The funny thing is, that when someone points out to this poor soul that his bar is bad, he will come to these forums and complain about elitists who won't let him play the bar he wants.

yes, which is why i did not point how his bar is not very good, and left as a result, it is one of the safe alternative to choose for me that is.

Builds can say more than you think when it comes to the person playing the game. This guy obviously doesn't understand much about the game than most but at least hes not a smiting ele with flare and points in water magic when there's no water skills in his build.

Walking away can be the best choice than trying to help them because when you do there's a 50/50 chance he will lol and call you a noob.

I don't think this qualifies as stupid though.

If that build qualifies as one of the stupidest things you have found playing GW, You have, indeed, led a blessed and sheltered existence here.

Why does everyone always cite Flare as the "bad" skill? There are way more creative ways to make something that doesn't work, at least Flare can post DPS of some value and doesn't break a build.

Don't start, Snograt already deleted a ton of comments about it...
@Xiaquin: because I can't think of a situation where you wouldn't rather have some other skill than Flare. If you're going to spend 1second casting something before moving onto a more powerful spell, bring Immolate if you think you need single-target damage (and you probably don't). If you're going to cast it more than once at a time, well, there are better spells you can use that fill that time.

I offered a really nice req8 crenelated sword 15^50 to someone once with a very low price tag just to offload it for space. The other mods on it weren't so hot though, I think the hilt was something other than fortitude, probably armor because it was cheap to to throw on or whatever back in 2006 when I modded it originally.

Anyhow, he laughed in my face and was like, "I don't want that piece of crap, the mods are garbage", like he didn't understand that he could switch the hilt and such and believe me, he would have gotten it for a steal.

I just face-palmed as he went back to spamming "WTB r8 weapons only!! NO CRAP MODS!" into trade.
