When I rack up 10 000 deaths, I can go back to pre-searing?

I think the Frog is down right cool. I will be looking forward to this week's update on Wenesday.

I am worshipping the Frog now in windows mode... but due to the single Spanish phrase in the last appearance 90% of the fellow worshippers and leeches are spanish.

I feel that it insults the Frog to refer to it as a dev though... for my one moment of weakness I'll say, of course it's a dev, but it's not... it's the Frog. The devs answer on forums and update notes... this is the Frog and it speaks in prophecy and riddles. All hail the glorious Frog!

dying as in dye, not death I think you'll find

although discovering more colours by being slain more often is an amusing thought

Gwen has already shown her true powers! The Frog remains mysterious and has yet to let us wistness what it can do! They cannot be compared as of yet!

They HAVE to allow us to upgrade wands you know. it's catagorically correct. Well, that and shields.. but for some reason, I see upgrades to shields as just too powerful. That may not be true, but whatever. But what I'm especially looking forward to is when he said:
"The Frog believes that Tyrians seek individuality. He sees it already, in each of you.
He knows, though, that some seek ever more distinct manner of sppearance and personage."

More ways to make your self look cool! woot to all!

Any thought to the "String in the wind in the nearby foothills"? I can't work that one out. Only foothills I can think of are the Ascalon Foothills, and they're not exactly close to LA. Also, there isn't that much there, other than Hydras, Stone Elementals, and the odd merchant & crafter.....

...any thoughts?

"wise and observant people"

I think that is the key word in the change to combat he was talking about.

I think he meant observant because GW players are basically like a pack of vultures lol. we notice all exploits, we see all combos, and we can detect all forms of farming... I think it was just a sarcastic pun on us for being so vigilante in our ways of exploitation. :P

ftw..?

As for the foothills, the only ones I can think is at the end of Snake Dance, as your supposed to be comign down from teh mountians, you enter the foot hills. This sonds as though they are going to put somthing in to stop Droknar's runners.

I think it must be fun for whoever plays the frog too. If it's devs it means they can communicate directly to us. The speaking about themself in third person is a bit silly IMHO but still fun. Don't try and be Yoda - you need more practise Kermit!

Regarding the hills thing... There's a cave you can't enter in the area between Beacons and Gates of Kryta. That one always looked suspicious to me.

Not very likely as the area for the Furnace, but there are also the Ascalon Foothills to the east of the Shiverpeaks.

I don't think they have a problem with running to Drok's. One of the Grandprize winning boss names is Tarnok Forgerunner after all..

It's quite literally a frog. It sits in Lion's Arch (and possibly elsewhere). Go to one of he international districts and look for a load of ppl just stood around the top of he steps near the fountain - like disciples of some dodgy cult.

It's either Anet devs or PR giving us the lowdown on changes to come.

A totally cool way for Anet to communicate with the masses.

Just a wild guess but it could be somebody like GhostRaptor (who started TGH, waaaaaaay back), then moved from Australia to work for NCSoft in Brighton/UK. He is still closely linked into GW, I think. Either that or they have UK/Australian people working at A.Net in USA which is also possible.

What's also funny is that one of our guild founding members (who is also a moderator here) is called Frog Devourer!!! I'd love to see him chatting to the Frog and see what kind of conversation they strike up!

You know there is also a frog on each gvg map..? I've found 4 of them so far.. It's a bit hard when pretending to battle... But maybe he's also spying on each GVG battle to see what's what.... That Frog... so sneaky....so Conniving...so manipulative...so devious... so cunning...so shrewd...so candid...

Sorry, I like my pocket version thesaurus.

Oh, what a fool I was!

When I first got to Lion's Arch (literally the very first time I entered) I was hanging out with a friend of mine by storage. We were talking on TS while waiting for another guilie to catch up. I zoomed in to first person to take a look around and noticed a frog!

I told my friend about it via TS and we took a look at it. Didn't bother to take a screenshot (for some reason). It soon burrowed into the ground, and we were left asking each other "WTF was that?"

This was weeks and weeks ago. I don't know if it was automated, or if there's always an "NPC frog" hanging out... but I didn't see any messages from it (or to it, for that matter).

Still, looks like exciting things to come! Arenanet rocks!

I'm definetly getting vibes from some of those messages that the invinci-monks will be no more in the the near future so you guys better farm your brains out for the next couple days while you can.

"Those who combat with give tactics and common strategies may awake to a shaken pattern"

You were given the invinci-monk tactics from a forum and it has become extremely common.

i hope those words mean the death of spirit spam builds.

invincimonks are great if you pack a mesmer with some enchant strips or dots.

to my great dismay it seems that spirit spamming is an essential counter to spikers and I doubt that they'll be nerfed. A counter-counter needs to be found.

However the spirit wall endlessly pisses me off.

Make spirits so you can pass through them, make it so NR doesn't strip enchants, make it so Fertile doesn't affect other spirits, and nerf the range. DONE AND GG
