Who's doing the funky cheating in the christmas jumping puzzle that needs perma superspeed?

Unlike normal cheating, this helps me (since they're not stacked on top of my character's model I can see my own movement better, and since they spend such little time on each platform they don't trigger them to fall), but why are they grinding extra jp completes?

Evon "won't tell you which date is his birthday if asked directly" Gnashblade: Hey guys, did you know were celebrating my birthday this week?

the constant evon gnashblade birthday mail glitch is one of the most hilariously in-character bugs to happen. you cannot tell me that this guy wouldnt spend top gold to have his own liddol special guy birthday party campaigned to hell and back.

Having fun with fashion and that night time skybox

Just packed to the gills with gifts. I look like a real spirit of Christmas.

(Yes, even with the congealed screams, you've heard of the yule lads, right?)

I've been on the convergences grind recently and I'm getting a good number of rift dodads in stock (22 as of writing), so I've decided to jam out the last 3 map completions of each SotO maps and here's my average times from doing each map back to back so I can improve on my flow.

Inner Nayos: 10 minutes

If I needed more map compleations I could have gotten this down further, very straight forward in terms of routing

Amnytas: 15 minutes

One of my attempts was interrupted to do the meta, but even then it wasn't much of a detour. New warclaw masteries trivialises this route, I love the zoom dog.

Skywatch Archipelago: 1 hour

This map is not fun to do fast. It's 100% Skyscale, all the time. I have tried the Taco route that uses the position rewinder to use more griffin. But neither route is fun. The map is so open, but the lanterns are somehow always in a corner, and while changeling the lantern my mount keeps wanting to turn back towards it if I'm not jumping.

I also finished jamming out the map currencies for each map up to 5.5k of each so i can just buy the meta reward currency for the gifts of stormy skies and persistence.

“What do you think of this bone?”

blood fiend: ("happy sound～")

Voice (warhorm) has a common element of future loss or the loss of potential or loss of agency.

Aurene doesn't want to be the next loved one you lose (she is)

Zaitan can't see themself without their voice that calls to the dead to rise as all the undead became such an extension of their body, more so than other dragons

Moredremoth, knowing the struggles Kralk had with their future visions and What Jormag and Primordus had with their prophecy of symmetrical murder suicide, comparatively Morddy doesn't have that and seems to be boundless in their domain of life, yet is still Tormented by the ley energy slowly affecting their mind over eons.

Kralk could be talking about their mom or Glint in a very self defensive manner to protect themselves from the loss of familial connections due to their ability to see their own future and act as their future self would.

Jormag wants so bad to be equals with Primordus, but as seemingly the Dragon that's the slowest to wake they seem to miss out on being awake for much of the Dragon cycle, depriving Jormag of their twin.

Primordus seems to be referencing Jormag, finally awakening to only be drawn to their final conflict with Jormag. They knew nothing of the state of the world, only awoke to their final conflict.

Bubbles mourns for her children and how knowing they perished is probably what gave the Void a way in to corruption her.

Because Aurene was awake and alive when we forge these weapons (canonically made during EOD's release year), her weapons have way more text as its the memories of the other dragons that give us their blurbs.

This theory has legs, curious if anyone else has checked the other weapons.

GW2 Dragon Lore Nerd Seeking Peer Review

As most ideas at three am do-- I was punched directly in the face by the hypothetical question of "So are there thematic similarities for each Elder Dragon's Lore for every Gen 3 Weapon?" (IE: "all of the tidbits from X weapon talk about Y theme) So I made a spreadsheet. And then I added the mechanical keywords for each weapon in case that was relevant. I am, however, one person-- and if any other GW2 Lore Nerds have thoughts, I would love to hear them! I don't know if I am overthinking this, but if stuff WAS found-- it might give us some new insight on older content!

That's so cool, there's two whole map layers dedicated to Halloween.

All the doors, and all the other decorations, and when the doors toggled out they swapped in one of the non-seaonal layers so there wasn't a point when the map was lacking in light sources.

And just like that...it was over.

[nice-profession-mechanic]

According to my decade of experience playing GW2 during October these are the following things to keep an eye out for while playing GW2 during the Halloween event:

Free standing doors

50 ft old dead guys flirting while you try to be busy

Gravity

Rising sea levels and gravity

People using the wrong animal in a race better than you

Simon says

When Simon says ends

Steve

Fashion

Edgy fashion

Limited time sales of QOL utilities

The thirst from other players during Simon says covering the instructions

Taking too long to type your thirst posts into chat and messing up a round of Simon says

Escaping the clutches of gravity only to not bring the right trade goods for a raven and have to do it all again

Steve is such a headache when your squad of running-in-a-circle-enjoyers isn't ready or has too much support.

I do enjoy explaining new and incorrect reasons why he's called Steve when the squad stops for a bio break every hour.

Also, when you have an efficient cat wrangler to lead the squad its fun to have everyone start the race, hit one checkpoint and go straight back to enjoying running in a circle, refusing to ever finish the race.

We're edging that one NPC responsible for organising the race.

halloween is THE guild wars 2 holiday. come with me, we’re going to run around in circles in a decrepit, hallowed nightmare dimension, killing plastic spiders and glow-in-the-dark skeletons and candy corn elementals. the looming ghosts of a deposed pumpkin-headed king and the lich who wanted to fuck you so bad before your daughter ate him for breakfast are going to make gay passive-aggressive digs at each other every other minute like you’re not even there. sometimes steve is there too
