I was doing Darkrime HM and I was on level 3 and there were no enemies around me. I had to go eat and I AFKed about 1-2 hours. I came back and all of us were dead at rez with all 60% DP. There were still no enemies around. I pretty much nailed every single enemy in there with no trouble. When I returned I had to restart the whole dungeon. I was so mad but just redid it and finished it. Possible timer?

Never AFK in dungeons espically in HM I learned.

The Norn legends speak of a cursed norn called Chuck Norrison, son of Chuck Norris, who preys on parties that go AFK.

Now, that's dumb.

Not so noob, but quite recent.
1. While VQing, i'm used to mark places where i've cleared enemies(to make the VQ faster) with junk drops or 1 gold piece. Accidently, during last VQ i've started dropping 1k instead of 1 gold. Luckly i've noticed it before map away, but spent 20 mins to hunt my money after have finished the VQ....
2. Now, ive always saved alcool, cause old drunkard was waay too boring for me, and was planning to sell it.When EB and new Drunkard title cames out, i've said "OMG nice let's max this title!"...After have drunk my 3k mins i've realized the new min cost. That means i do not have money for max drunkard, and, also, i've just drunk 200-300k.....which isn't little for me.

The map show where u have passed, but the range explored/checked and cleared is a bit larger than the red dot line, about the compass size(the limit of sight of enemy/objects).

Dropping/placing things means that running around pressing alt and ctrl you'll see where you've passed a compass range far....is just a thing that i'm used to since i VQ, and speed up things. Why not? :P

Haha, same thing for me. I took the quest completely forgetting what area of Proph it was. Loaded the map and saw Rotscale's zone highlighted, and just said "nope".

About 400K points in and I don't really feel like chancing it.

I was at about 230k, so it could have definitely be more painful...I'm more irritated at the fact that the only death that happened during that vanquish was mine - no heroes died, no one went below half health, and then Rotscale managed to spike me from full health to nothing in a second.

Stupid effing not-even-a-boss doesn't-take-double-damage-from-holy dragon. Grrrr.

I personally think this "new Class for GW2" is a April fools Joke...
Otherwise the joke is Anet its self.

Your post implied that you were unsure if it was a joke or not. That's the sad part.

Way Way Way back in the day, before Nightfall I deleted my level 20 Warr and level 20 Assassin, both which had full elite kurzick armor. Why? I dont remember. I think I wanted the name my warrior had for an alt... *Facepalm*.
Uhhh recently I bought a saphire for 9k.

Even though you probably forgot about Rotwing when you started this vanquish, I have more respect for people who put their survivor characters in a tight spot and lose them as a consequence, than people who get the title through some lame repetitive experience farm.

Matter of opinion of course.

I lost my own survivor (assassin) against an ele boss (whiteout) in a foolish way. I was so focussed on the spells he was casting, but he didnt cast any spells so I kept attacking (my monk heroes were allready slain). I didnt see though that he was wanding me to death with 120 damage per hit (darned fragile sins), doh

While out doing the Zaishen Bounty for Molotov Rocktail on my Survivor-to-be,

I killed some mantids on the way through the forest.

I got to the clearing, killed the small Charr patrol.

Then I looked away from the PC at the TV for a minute. No patrols nearby. Boss is waaaaaaay over there. Brian Williams is soooo dreamy. He's telling me about the news!





*booooooooom*

Wait, was that the sound of dying Guild Wars characters?!

o.O everybody's dead! Boss is still 300 yards away!!

Why didn't anyone say "Nuclear Launch Detected"??!!

My character was a little over 1mil xp and Im doing Kilroys for my survivor title. (This is before the new survivor title we have currently.) I had like 4 or so runs left to do till I max. My internet starts lagging a bit. I let it rest and continue. The lag starts up again as my character is "teleporting" around due to lag. I make the dumb decision to keep on going since Im only a few runs away and then my internet disconnects.

The latest dumb thing I did was going into DoA with my guild and not realizing my poor mesmer didn't have a weapon. I had taken her weapon (The Rapture) to give to a hero on another toon and forgot to give it back.

Bought a blue staff from someone when I was new to the game, for the longest time I had that weapon equipped because I paid 1k (as a newbie that was a fortune) for it so it must be good
