Not had time to play much recently but we did farm icebreakers to look cool while running hammers in the future

Somebody help me finish this please. You will be greatly rewarded

Any updates pyro?
Nothing left to do
. Had briefly considered some elite areas HM but risk of death is high so probably won't happen. 37 no deaths seems like a good place to stop and move on to other projects

I believe I remember when that Iron Hammer dropped, possibly by Red?
Few years ago now, it was indeed Mr Red who dropped and sold to me

Best picks from the Q3 hoard
Remember don't merch them, sell them to me
-
A strength Buckler is the best Buckler imo

I did try it early on but seemed like to much defence with that para + meat and spirit wall. Went for the plan of if they dead or getting rupted don't need ST. Worked out just fine.
-
whats the go to build you are using?
Para played this build pretty much through the whole thing. Hero builds changed slightly depending on situation mostly in 4/6 man areas but basically throw spears and give +100ar to team, maintain Refrain for 20 attribute hero's via shouts and watch everything get obliterated. Minions/spirts soaked up the scraps. Nothing special or clever (kinda boring to play as all I ever did damage wise was splinter + spear) but very effective.

Been after this trio within a hexy collection for ages. Finally got the shadow, good Guild Wars day

Red Fireball You have been summoned!

Interested PyroLobster ? maybe collect q5 min dmg
-

Today I realized if you collect Q5 Scimitars and Q5 Strength req shields what you really collect is weapon sets that combine the 2

About time this thread got bumped me thinks. Not sure about "most" precious but definitely very precious and wasn't sure where else to put it.
I wanted an example of a Q3 Club ever since I discovered and started collected Q3 in general. To get one max dmg with a max mod, I was super pleased.
Amazingly the character name "Spiked Club" was available so its hanging out there now. Will swing it around in the early levels on Shing Jea
PS. Kinda tempted to custo... -
Love me a Cauldron, seriously underrated item imo. Great stuff!
-
Pyro is interested it in to go with a purple inscri shadow shield from the drakes

But, what I expect is that Armbraces are just going to be ignored, and if something new in terms of rewards eventually do get added, they will use new materials and items instead that are better protected against botting.
Protecting a game against botting is a losing battle, unless you are fighting against it constantly, you'll never win. And that's just the reality in any game, with the exception of games where there is no sense or need for botting.Agreed. Tbh I thought people would have switched to GotT or maybe rocks a while ago. They at least have a restriction on supply and are themselves consumed at a much higher rate than arms.
We shall see, maybe tomorrow anet will add several 0's to bank and the trade limit of platinum, that would be a fun twist.

The practical implementation is easy as I outlined and yes it only solves the specific problem of bots existing. That's all I'm saying.
It doesn't make them money. It doesn't remedy the economic imbalance that has been created by bots. It doesn't solve anything other than them existing.
You don't need super powers to identify bots. You need eyes and about 65IQ to get 99.9% accuracy and then let support deal with the 0.1%. From the recent polices of adding without asking 2fa to accounts clearly anet don't give a single solitary fuck about causing problems for support or indeed preventing innocent people playing if its obstructs what they want to implement.
I agree though, the problem has gone on for so long many of its effects are now very difficult if not impossible to undo. However surely better late than never applies here? -
Lots of talk about bots, I suggest the following 4 step plan:
Step 1: Hire some cheap dude to work 1 hour a week (or find 1hour in somebody's schedule) or ill gladly do it for free
Step 2: Instruct them to use said hour a week to run around towns (a short list can be made cause we know where they are) and identify bots
Step 3: Get Dhuum to swing his scythe on identified bots
Step 4: Give support some work to do from the very tiny amount of false positives you are going to generate from steps 1-3Within a couple weeks of this a huge portion of bots are gone and the incentive to reestablish lost bots is almost 0 because there is quick and definitive consequences. You might even get most of this outcome just from an announcement of the policy / even 1 hour a month will likely achieve the same thing. If you know your bot is only going to last 30 days before you have to buy another do you really still decide to do it?
Yes very determined people will continue the practice and yes lots of bots don't frequently zone in an out of a town and they wont be so easy to detect but its a super easy, low tech and cheap solution to the bulk of the problem.
Clearly Anet don't want to stop bots on a large scale otherwise they would because its really not hard, expensive or time consuming.
The consequences of stopping bots in a big way is another matter which I have purposely ignored. Simply putting my opinion out there about you can stop them if you wanted. -

2 items from separate collections stored on the same toon and they hit the spot just right
-
At least its dual mod... -
Zaishen and Luxon got maxed on the account ages ago so been 35 for a while.
Recently made progress on the HM Tyria missions. Proceeding very cautiously, its getting increasingly scary each time I go outside a town now
11 more to go!
