I logged on for a bit last night. I gave random team battle a go to see if I'm getting rusty, but fortunately my night was saved by a bunch of warrior/monks who kept casting, well, trying to cast Healing Signet and Healing Breeze on themselves.

It's just your run of the mill thief but only without the stealing part? The text didn't have really any information or substance, just some hammy writing.

Barinthus · November 23, 2005, 10:37

I have faith in A-Net. Really, only time will tell.

DrSpike · November 23, 2005, 11:56

It'll probably be a melee damage dealer rogue type.

DrSpike · December 1, 2005, 13:09

Pretty weak info........the only good part is the new areas and missions and they don't say anything about those.

Barinthus · December 2, 2005, 23:29

Still nice to know what's planned.

DrSpike · December 3, 2005, 04:12

Well the other stuff is mere frippery anyway.

SirOsis · December 3, 2005, 04:14

How I do like frippery!

DrSpike · December 3, 2005, 04:33

Buy the Sims - more frippery than you can shake a stick at.

Barinthus · December 8, 2005, 23:16

A random screenie. I love being a leader of mission parties so I can take screenies of myself in action

DrSpike · December 9, 2005, 12:42

*pssst*

Watch out for that Rurik.

Main_Brain · December 13, 2005, 13:27

Awwww the 'Taste my Cold Steel' Guy

Barinthus · December 13, 2005, 19:36

Have you seen this Healbot comic series? It's hilarious.

Your comments remind me of this one:

conmcb25 · December 14, 2005, 23:18

Well Doppleganger is dead and I got me a level 20.57 W/Mo.

I know its no big deal to you guys but after taking a couple of months break after last summer, Im back playing and getting ready for chapter 2

DrSpike · December 15, 2005, 12:39

Funny stuff Barinthus.

Barinthus · December 15, 2005, 20:35

Thanks I think so too!

Season's Greetings

(Please sing along to the tune of The Twelve Days of Christmas.)

On the twelfth moon of Wintersday ArenaNet gave to me...
Blessings from Dwayna
Festive decorations
One mighty snowman
Weapons made of candy
Gifts that might kill you
Snow-covered henchmen
New winter monsters
Some really long quests

Lots of drinking Dwarves
Gingerbread shields
Curses from Grenth
And a new way to watch PvP!

That's right, Observer Mode!

Now you can watch as top-ranked guilds battle it out in the Tombs and in rated guild matches. The upcoming Guild Wars Regional Playoffs and World Championship will also be available for viewing as they happen. The details are as follows:

Whenever a top 100 ranked guild plays in the Tombs or in a rated guild challenge, the game is automatically available for everyone to see. Other "special event" games will also be available for viewing.

Everything that observers see is delayed 15 minutes from the original game, to prevent cheating. Games become available for observation approximately 15 minutes after they start, and remain available until approximately 15 minutes after they finish.

While you are watching a game, you can chat with your fellow observers. There is no limit to the number of people who can simultaneously observe a game, but for purposes of chatting, observers are randomly assigned into groups of about 100 people.

In Observer Mode, the Map Area window displays the positions of all characters on the map. You can click on any character to jump there. Alternately, you can use Auto Camera mode to let the game pick the most interesting targets for you.

A new heads-up display automatically shows you the Health of teams that you are currently watching. If you prefer to use the Party window to view party status details and to select players to watch, you can easily switch the Party window back and forth between teams, or you may choose to view multiple Party windows and watch different teams in each window.

SirOsis · December 22, 2005, 12:35

The observer mode is pretty nice. I watched a little last night.

DrSpike · December 22, 2005, 13:05

Hmm, I wonder if I can convince my guild to make a comeback. Then you can all watch and gape at my uberness.

Kassiopeia · December 22, 2005, 13:35

Whoa. I'll have to log on tonight to check it out.

Barinthus · December 22, 2005, 22:45

There's Wintersday quests too.

I'm at my parents' since last Saturday until Jan 3rd. Why did they have to go Mac not PC?!?!? I could have been playing my backside off on GW. Waste of time... sob sob

Main_Brain · December 23, 2005, 13:23

I finally reached the Fire Island!

I was only stuck at Thunderhead Keep for about 2 Months

My Chances to finish the Missions before the Expansion hits Market are pretty slim though. Does anyone know when D&D: Stormreach is finished? It looks appealing.

Barinthus · December 23, 2005, 20:47

If you ever want to do Thunderhead Keep bonus, let me know - it's surprising easy.

My ranger is at the Island of Fire as well. Necro is at Droknar's. Monk is way back in Northern Shiverpeaks.
