Little things you never noticed (that suddenly appeared to you).

Wow, I've always thought my eyes were decieving me Those damn henchies stole a white dye from me once

I remember damaging a cow and making it spasm around with some Ele AoE skill. Haven't managed to do it again, tho


That is... strange. Never seen it

A year or two before TA has been removed I noticed the map with the dragon obelisks has a beautiful picture of a woman on one of the ruins' walls. Was a nice surprise to see such art in pvp too.

You're not trolling this thread, right? Are you serious? Yep - I guess I'm just now learning this after six years of play, too! (I never voluntarily watch cut scenes or read up on lore zzz).

But for me, I found a lot of "wow" moments when I turned my camera angle up to look at things at a higher elevation than my head. It's like you're seeing scenery for the first time because you're seeing all sorts of new things! There often (esp. in later chapters) a lot of detail put into buildings, etc. that stretch way, way up.

Thanks finding this staff, have never seen it before.

I have also seen gold drop and henches/heros stealing the drop, and here I thought all gold was shared with the whole party!

Just in case some didn't know, the gold coin drops are shared equally among all party members regardless of compass range.

Every time you kill a monster/foe (well, with some exceptions) it has a chance to drop loot. Heroes and hench, being part of your party, have a chance of getting that loot, same as if you were playing with all human players. You just don't usually see the loot drop and assigned to the hero/hench as they pick it up immediately on the server side (kind of like how they are so good with interrupts). Anyone out of compass range (greyed out in party window) of a kill is not considered part of the party when calculating chance to get a drop.

(Allies (minions, spirits, anyone listed under "Allies" in the party window for example) don't count as part of the party and don't get a share of any loot. This is important for skills that differentiate between affecting the party or allies (which would include party members.))

Down in Rragar's Menagerie there is a place that's like a swamp with huge trees growing. I never noticed this place because you must detour to get there. Wish I got a screenie while I was down there.

I just realized the bosses in the mission Boreas Seabed can have their elite skills capped with the Signet of Capture.

Why I thought they wouldn't confuses me even more. Normally, I figure the only way to capture Life Sheath in Factions was from the Monk Construct.

After nearly 5 years of playing i showed some one my build and they asked why i didnt use all my attribute points... i never realized there were quests to gain 30 more attribute points -.-

Ouch...
Though i must say i Find it very annoying when people "Cant bother" Getting the last 30 pt, eaven Though they are from factions.

I've just realised, after over 6 years playtime, this is a fantasy MMO where there are no taverns full of grumpy dvarves, sinister mercenaries and strangely shaped barmaids.

ANET HOW DARE YOU DEPRIVE US OF THIS FANTASY MMO CLICHE!!!!!!!!

Does anyone remember discovering that "little thing" when you no longer had to map out to one of the Crystal Desert outposts to switch your secondary profession?

Thankfully, I was active when they changed that and saw the update right away. I've had a few friends come back from inactivity over the years and get a happy surprise with the "new" skill panel functionality.

Also, F targets yourself. So bloody handy when you want a hero to cast something on you (like a desperately-needed heal -__-)

Also, during The Dragon's Lair mission, each ring of the ringed spire in the centre of the map is associated with a facet; defeating a facet will make one of the rings glow

Yeah, God's honest truth. I always play with the volume fully muted, and I've never been the patient sort (I always did the same for console games too). There's probably all sorts of other stuff that I'm completely ignorant about. Most of the lore I learned from stuff the wiki stuck on the front page.

I just cannot fathom skipping a cut scene the first time it comes up. It is what we used to call, eye candy. It was one of the major reasons behind playing the game so that you could see the cut scenes and all the hard work that went into them.

It is also one of the huge issues I have with another game I am playing right now. No cut scenes at all. The game, while fun enough to play, feels empty of any real story.

Unfortunately there is a pressure to skip it if youre playing with others you dont know; especially on a run and especially if the majority want to skip it

How is there pressure? Nobody knows who hasn't skipped and they can't message until it's done.

I have been the 1 of 8 not skipping more times than I can tell you. I feel no pressure--they can always drop out.

While working on my skill hunter title, I found out that there's an outpost in the Realm of Torment called Gate of Nightfallen Lands. After over four years of playing I find out about it only because of Onlsaught. Seriously, most pointless outpost ever?

When PuGing anything in HM...or any farm in nm it's just common courtesy to skip the cutscenes.

I won't skip a cutscene unless I'm the last vote. I figure if there's someone there who wants to see the movie, they might not have such trouble with that aforementioned pressure if at least one other player hangs in there with them.
