Its actually against the rules to call myself Sir Bhav again though.

i) Sir is a title, bannable offense!
ii) Bhav is my real name! Bannable offense x2

I suppose D Is For Lysdexia must have been bigotted hate speech then, as thats the only rule it seems to fit into.

I also had a Sylvari called Evahard Morningwood that got banned. I dont see why, it was a sylvari born during dawn, and its made from hard wood logs.

So I renamed it to Hardwood Morninglog, and they seemed to leave my Asura 'Limpy Shortstaff' alone.

To be fair, even tho your names can be viewed as funny you are pushing it, there will be some people who may very well find it offensive.

Probably, although I'd have to say that anyone who finds the names in your quote offensive just needs to get a life.

ranger is probably the worst class in the game for aoe damage they are all about single target and the mobs were dieing in seconds i think my longbow aoe doesnt even tick any damage for 2-3seconds and then its only a few hundred.

traps damage wise are a joke and no one users them , ive never tried a torch.

axe only bounces between 3 mobs they were pulling like 9 or so

I'm kind of loathe to write off a whole class as "worst for AoE damage" withut actually trying the weapon combinations.

I'd suggest giving torch a go - the 5 skill puts down a patch of fire that adds burning to any combo finisher - that means you can hit '2' on the axe to throw a fan of 5-6 burning, bleed-causing axes which with the right aiming can set a whole pack ablaze, then the axe number 1 button (which will still cause fire while you're in the torch cloud) can be bounced around a few members of the group to keep tagging. It's not ideal but it's an option.

This also works with a weapon switch to shortbow, the poison fan will pick up the fire and spread it further.

Other choices: Dual axe and Fire trap. Drop fire trap in the middle of the group, wait for it to trigger and hit 5 - axe spin. I BELIEVE (not tested this one) you should inflict burning in a 360 degree range. It might be a fire shield instead (anyone know the interactiopn between fire combo field and axe spin finisher type? Can't get to the wiki from here).#

Or how about using the warhorn offhand? If you use the 5 ability it gives a massive buff to the group, and should (I think) therefore share their damage tags as you're assisting them.

I've found the longbow AoE to be pretty good - what build are you using? I think we should be able to spec up a pretty good AoE build for Rangers with the number of players who read this board.

:eek: What is this you speak of I've never seen it in MMO's before ?! Is it some kind of rare drop or a super rare spell you can cast ?

:p :D

either way i should be entitled to pull mobs if i want im not stopping other people from hitting them

Just curious as to why you've completely ignored my last post?
 
Im afraid to play my Norn Guardian now, I named him Jorvaskr Skyforge which is taken from Skyrim, which they can ban for copyright infringement. The only character I made that doesnt seem bannable was my Charr necromancer called Morbid Kitten, but I suppose that Anet will just ban that too because they want me to have crappy names like everyone else.

First I wanted a Charr engineer, but unfortunately Atomic Kitten was already taken (durr), so I made him a necro and came up with Morbid Kitten, yoink!

And loads of people complained that all the good names were stolen ... in my case all the good names were bannable.

Based on the Reddit thread:

Copyright infringement names don't seem to get a ban, they seem to just get a forced name change. The 72 hour bans seem to be if you have an 'offensive' name that someone files a ticket about.

If you've got a name you're not sure about, raise a ticket yourself and if they say "it's OK" then you're golden and if they say "it's not OK" you'll just have to change it, and won't have any lost game time in most cases.

Unless you've made an albino called "Ihatedarkies" or something, in which case they'll ban you no matter who reports you.
 
I have hit 80 and want to know where to go to get into the center
of ruins of orr and scavangers causeway. if anyone could tell me that would be a great help. thx in response ;)
can go round the edge of ruins of orr but not the center.

I managed to get about 1hours play in tonight. Really enjoying the game so far :)

Playing a Sylvari Mesmer which I'm quite enjoying its pretty fun. I like the whole personal story touch will see how well that develops. Really am loving these dynamic quests tho and the events that go on are crazy its mental seeing loads of people just all bunch up to do an event.

I'm on Desolation which I think a few other people from here are on too.

I just wonder about these events and if they are dynamic to the amount of people in a certain area. Sometimes you get event after event (like last night) other times they are quite rare anyone know? Sometimes they appeared out of nowhere blocking my path. Wouldn't like it down the line if I was alone in the starting area... Also can you buy more char slots? 5 is pitiful I had over 60 in WOW spread over several realms.

I love the events, and yes for 800 gems you can buy another slot, :( I already have! ..but then I am a Noob Alta-a-holic. I cant help myself :D

You can buy as many slots as you would like :p
 
I think they scale with number of participants, but soloing some of the tougher ones would still be tricky. (I did the Charr area Fire Shaman this morning with two others and it was tough. I outlevel it by ~6-8 levels. Thankfully we had someone that remembers to res other players (me) and someone that used loads of combo fields (I assume a guardian?) and once we started working together it went much more smoothly.)

A lot of them bug at some stage and then don't progress, its really apparent in the Orr zones at the moment.

If you can imagine one event jams at one point, it isn't just the event that stops, its the entire chain that it follows. Also any subsequent events or event chains that are spawned from completion of that are also halted.
 
hmm didn't realise there was meant to be mass events starting other mass events etc lol I always go to do a little bit and it never works.
