a whole lot of nothing

they just released an faq for gw2
pretty much nothing new there though

i'm guessing it wont come out til 2010 from what they are saying there.
there's a real culture in the gaming world of releasing games that are perfect. For example spore (which i might be checking out) was originally scheduled for a 2007 release isnt coming out til this september - it happens all the time...
so the question is... do we keep going with titles, assume they are going to add content, or find another game to play for a year??? i'd be happy to stick to gw... there's still alot of vanquishing to be done!!!

I of the North

Well, this weekend I began my assult on the Eye of the North campaign.

Man, I was so impressed by the story they use to get you there. The who crevase thing and then running through the tunnels with Ogden and Vekk. It was really good. Generally I find the cinimatics a bit crap and really only watch them for the storyline, but the switch to EOTN was great. I was actaully a little nervous with those red dots coming up behind us as we ran through the tunnels.

Anyway, I have the primary quest Against the Destroyers ready to go and have the Asura, Norn and Vanguard sub-quests as well.

For tomorrow night I would like to continue along with the EOTN storyline and also head back into Nightfall to get Razah.

You're All Alone!

Just letting you know I wont be on this Tuesday as I will be at the State Girls Football carnival at Penrith all week. You guys are just going to help each other mop up anyway I think. What is the plan for attacking EOTN? Do we all start from whoever has done the least (Copland?) so we can catch up to each other? Or are you too far advanced Ian? And if so, could you use a different character until we catch up to Xyla?

What do you reckon?

not too boring

so tonight i had a crack at asura point farming in eotn, to make the most of the double point weekend.
in about an hour i went from just over 10,000 asura points to just over 20,000! I'm now "not too boring" which is level 4 on the title track.
I'm kicking myself for 2 reasons - 1 i wish i had finished eotn so i could have done it in hard mode and 2... i wish i had a whole wekend to max out titles.
oh well they might do it again in 3 months or something... we'll see

in short... try and get on before monday afternoon. go crazy - check wiki it has recomended areas that are easier.

Reputation... its everything

yo... yall

check this out
this weekend we can earn double points in norn, asura, deldrimor and ebon vanguard.
i think this is a nice way to gently sneak into EotN. Can probably open a bit of the map too...

not to tell you how to play the game copland, but... the norn would probably be the most useful for you. a higher rank in this will increase effectiveness of norn skills, which are all pretty good for warriors.

i cant do saturday night, but could do a couple of hours late on friday... i hope we can get in then - i could maybe do sunday night though... we'll see
when can you all do, and is it cool?

An idea...

I was talking with Ian today and we mentioned what we would do once the guild finished Factions.

As you know, I plan on moving onto Eye of the North, but before that I was wondering if you guys had anything else you wanted to do?

Ian and I talked about setting aside one or two Tuesday nights to do some 'cleaning up'. For example, I think Mick only has a couple of missions until he's finished with Nighfall. Maybe we could all get on and help with that, or skill caps or whatever?

The idea is to spend our 'guild time' just finishing off those little things that are preventing us from getting titles or items we have been working on.

Anyway, its just an idea, so if you're up for it I am happy to spend a couple of weeks 'cleaning up' before we (either individually or as a guild ) move onto EOTN.

One of the things I thought about doing was the final mission in Prophecies again. Since the 3rd birthday repeating this mission gives you the choice of a new green item.

If you want to do this cleaning up stuff just post a yes, and also the name of the mission/skill/title you want to work on. See you guys in Cantha!

trap em and blast em... apparently

this is a post for mick primarily... but i think we can all get to this point eventually - does everyone in our guild have a level 20 ranger?

i stumbled across this team build that is a good way to farm balthazar
there also many trapping farming builds on PvX that may interest you - you just have to use em in the right spot really

Inconceivable!

If I was a warrior I'd like to have this skill, for sentimental value at least.

My bad

Once again, sorry for Tuesday night. I just didn't have my head screwed on. Hopefully next Tuesday will be better, unless you guys want to start nominating days to have a crack before then? Thursday night anyone? Maybe next Monday?

What do you think?

Just checking in...

Hey Boys,

So, I have 9,500 Luxon Faction points so far. Hope that's cool.

Tonight I have a board meeting and should be on around 9-9:15 SA time. Not sure when Ian will be on though.

Anyway, as soon as I get on I'll knock over those 500 faction points I need and then I'll be ready to roll. For what I understand the quest we have to do is called "Stolen Eggs" and this should open up Gyala Hatchery.

Catch you guys tonight!!

oath shot spirit spammer

mick check this out
copland and i were talking the other night about ways to possibly make us a tighter team. we both think we're doing pretty well, but i discovered this build that could turn you into a much more supporting role, and change the dynamics. anyways, if you're interested

so... i've...

because i'm going to be late this week, i have done 2 things tonight.
1 - got to 10,00 faction
2 - completed the quest stolen eggs - so i'm at the hatchery and ready to go... see you guys there.

he aint heavy... he's my brother in-law

will be on pretty late this week due to going out for teale's birthday.
sorry.
call when i know

Luxon faction update

so... this is mainly for caine, but i'm putting it up here anyways.

spoke to mick yesterday, who let me know he was up around the 5,000 mark in Luxon now, and that we should all do a little farming to try and get somewhere near there also.

Last night Copland and I decided to just go straight up and down and kill some stuff. We did this in the form on Hard mode and vanquished the archipelagos. in hard mode we received 10 faction per kill, so i'm at about 3.5k and copland is close to mick now.

so... in short. if we can all find time (maybe?), to do some farming of sorts (or quests) before tuesday, then we can go straight thru the quests and hit gyala hatchery.

i really dont know if i'll get on again before tuesday - just been busy. but we can try. there's always eternal grove, my vizunah square, or more faction farming... yeah?

Fast faction farming

It's double faction this weekend for competitive missions. I got on last night and farmed a bit of Luxon just by killing and doing quests. I'll try to get to 10 000 without doing any primary quests. If you guys can try to do the same, maybe we can be ready to finally finish factions this Tuesday.

A good quest for farming is Charting the Jade Sea (in Kaineng City quests). Make sure you pay the priest for the faction bonus. Do little quests within the map areas, kill lots of monsters and the faction points will come easily.

Who's with me?

ch ch ch ch ch ch changes

hey all...
i'm meeting up with a mate of mine next week and one of the things he's going to do is help me set up some sites that are much more customisable - with their own domain names etc.
so... if we wanted we could have a funky ass website and possibly even be www.noobswithattitude.com ??? not sure...
wouldnt be much more effort on you part - new log in, and maybe just getting used ot a slightly different input method...

let me know what you think
