What's The Stupidest Thing You've Heard While Playing Guild Wars?

Wow, I just love idiots....

Side story: I have some background info on this guy... he once threatened a lawsuit against Anet if my boyfriend and I were not permabanned because we called him stupid (or something to that extent) and by his definition it was a hate crime. So, he was going to sue A-net for bypassing hate crime legalities by allowing us to continue to play. I convinced him to send me the entire three or so page on threat... it's a good, laughable read.

You see how far that went. This guy is a trip... huge conspiracy theorist. I love it when he comes around.

And now, the gold:

He probably just wanted to use the locked chest.

Interesting how it turns against the person who posts someone else's stupidity.

Because asking for a res from your teammates is stupid...how?

A simple "I don't have a res" would have sufficed. Or, you know, res your teammate.

He should've brought mending and defy pain so he wouldn't need to be rezzed in the first place...

Yeah, those WHarriors can be so pesky! But I don't think this qualifies as a "stupidest thing heard." Impatient? Sure. A bit rude? Yes ("rez plz." works much better.) Annoying? maybe. But stupid? I don't think so. As was already stated, maybe the guy wanted to use the Locked Chest.

This.


That mending would've saved his ass.

Edit: When I'm monking, everyone gets 1 courtesy heal when I deem you being stupid. If you're not vital to the party, you get last priority res and heal.

Piss me off, or be a complete douche, you don't get ressed at all. I'm a snotty monk.

Just now, forming up for a group wanting to do the Battle for Lion's Arch, I already have done it, 3 times, but I was bored and wanted to help. So i join on my Rit, running Splinter Barrage. This warrior in the party, asks me if I am SoS or Resto, and I say "those are my only options?". He says "yes", and I say, well I am neither, I don't want to heal, and SoS is boring and passive. And so I ping my bar, and there is already an R/Rt in the party running Splinter Barrage. The Ranger likes my bar, but the Warrior and Derv tell me I should be running SoS since that's the only good bar for Ritualists. I explained that although my arrows deal less damage than my ranger counterpart, I hit the foes more times, because Splinter Weapon will work on 5 arrows. They don't seem to understand, I said that if we had Mark of Pain, enemies die amazingly fast. So they are then saying that in order for my build to be effective, I need to have another person in the party, well... yes, because Splinter Barrage in and of itself is only moderately effective without Mark of Pain, just like MOST physical builds.

I don't have screenshots, and the above only summarizes it. But Ritualists run Splinter Barrage almost as well, or in some cases better, than Rangers do. But according to them, since I wasn't using Signet of Spirits, I was "doing it wrong". *sigh* Some people just don't think outside the meta.

Argh, I hate that you can only run SoS or resto as a rit anymore. Gods help you if there are already both roles in the party, then you're totally useless!

Ya . Course with how I am now, I run all sorts of random, funny builds with all of my characters. Splinter Barrage Rit, 100b Rit, just random stuff, its fun! Sure, not as effective as their counterparts usually, but they're fun.

I've been in plenty of pugs that just asked for a different builds. I've had quite a few times where we've had a resto or sos role filled, and another joins, yet the new one can't run anything else because that's all he/she ever built. Kind of funny the way it works both ways.

Best monk in AB.

Yah. I join BLA teams all the time just for sh*ts and giggles. Hoping for a Mantle mini some day. And I see all sorts of dumb a$$es like that. One healer (can be hero) and everybody else... pretty much anything will do, just bring the biggest AoE you can.

I play R/Rt splinter barrage (golden eggs/candy corn/lunar fortunes to get the 5-hit splinter)... but a second splinter barrager is no problem at all - it's double the goodness!

The only thing I like to add, is a N/Me hero with bone minions, which provide a constant stream of energy to feed death nova, and a bunch of AoE mesmer goodies including Panic. But I'm not even fussy about that either.

As a Rit, try taking SOS and some other spirits... but still bring Splinter, and Volley instead of Barrage. Works very well, and keeps the a$$hats quiet.

Biggest joke i saw is about that henchman contest for GvG/HA , when they said that meta bars wouldn't be taken. Basically wasted my time to find original bars that henchs could use.

The most stupid thing is when in February I saw Anet announcing new HoH map on their developers blog... and it haven't happen yet It's just so stupid that so many people believed it's gonna happen

Splinter Barrage is outdated, if you want it so badly, why didn't youjust use SoS with Volley? That way, you're actually contributing to your team while also pleasing your Splinter Weapon fetish. Everyone wins.

Just the yesterday I was chatting with my friend about GW2 while we were farming... I, apparently mistakenly, mentioned that I wish we could get a real release date. She said "Its coming out on November 2nd". I laughed and replied with "Dude, the earliest I've heard anywhere is January, and most people are saying even later now." She got mad for some reason and said "Its coming out on November 2nd, and GW2 will be out then, and that's just how its going to be!"
I laughed and dropped the topic. As much as I'd love for her to be right, I'm going to laugh again when Nov 2nd rolls around.

Divine favor is for noobs.

My buffed R/Rt splinter barrager was able to take out half the HP of the mob of cloaks that comes in that quest. Single target spirit damage is great normally, but if you can set up giant mobs in close proximity, AoE damage trumps. Oh, and Volley negates the one advantage rits have with splinter barrage: more activations of splinter weapon.

Because I refuse to run Signet of Spirits, I find it boring and passive, as I stated above. I am hoping that nerf hurries up and gets here, so people will stop abusing and crying for it.


See above.

I also said i refuse to run the popular builds, I live outside the meta, because it is funner that way. I don't use HB or UA when healing, even in elite areas and HM. I don't run Imbagon on my Para (my main), I don't run ER on my ele, I have fun this way, living in the meta means you do not know any other way of playing.

In closing, I HATE SPIRIT SPAMMING!!!
