One of these days, a precursor will drop for me.
It'll be a trident.

I'm surprised Chuka Chapawat isn't as mind numbing as HOPE, Nevermore and Astralaria.

Oh i can, but since i hit restart episode, won't give me the short cut to go fight the boss just for the Achievements for Frozen Out mission..I have to do the entire mission again lol...not the episode but mission..
Edit:Fuck, i really have to play the entire episode again, i go into the last mission and it tells me all progress will not be saved...
I think that's a bug since it's happened to quite a few people, even without hitting restart episode (happened to me as well in the same mission and googling around, it happened to others).

how fast are the 4000 gems delivered
From the most expensive preorder? Mine took less than an hour.
Reports on Reddit (and happened to me too) were that they would take up to a few days.
Was that now or when pre-purchase opened?
Because it took almost 72 hours for gems to arrive when they got flooded with orders, but if HoT is anything to go by (and the above statement of one hour) it should be almost instantaneous by now when purchases mostly trickle in.

I still haven't gotten mine though, but then again I just bought it.
The pass is unlimited use right? That's a massive Deluxe bonus.

Give it up to 72 hours and then contact support.
I haven't checked this morning but it looks like mine are taking the full 72hrs
Sure is
You know, whenever I do the story in Draconis, I always laugh at Taimi's reactions to the mad stuff we say.
edit: here is the whole exchange which I just found funny:
"As soon as I liberate more of my magical ghost friends"
- it's hilarious to hear haha

edit: here is the whole exchange which I just found funny:
Taimi: Commander, I'm getting an odd reading from the communicator. Your temperature seems to be fluctuating. Wildly.
<Character name>: Oh, yes, that makes sense. I was given a heat barrier from one of the Spirits of the Wild down here.
Taimi: Sure. Yeah. Perfect sense. But seriously what's happening?
<Character name>: I told you. These voices spoke to me.
Taimi: Uh-huh.
<Character name>: Then the ghost tree things told me I should free them.
Taimi: Uh-huh.
<Character name>: And in return, they grant me protection from the high temperatures.
Taimi: Sure, sure... So... You're clearly suffering from heat stroke. But don't panic; I'll send help your way!
<Character name>: Taimi, I'm fine. Or will be. As soon as I liberate more of my magical ghost friends.
Taimi: Oh, boy.

Taimi: Oh, boy.
There's more where that comes from. Soon I'll try to get a raid together to try the absolutely easiest bosses first so we can get used to being together and coordinate. But Fractals first!

Fractal is a great experience if you keep it as a guild run only..
Pug fractal is fun but once you reach mid way through t3, the assholes show up, T4 is a shit storm, DPS meter cunts, regular cunts, angry cunts, just a lot of cunts in T4, I have come to hate fractals thanks to the asshole community at the higher levels, T4 should only be run with Guildies..

You also get some assholes in early fractals. Especially if you mess up while you're learning (yes even if you made the LFG and said you were new)
It's all about luck really. Maybe you'll get some assholes, and maybe you won't.
It's probably one of the reasons my fractal level is still at level 7 lol. Me and my fiance didn't have the worst group first time but you could tell that they were getting annoyed and snappish which is probably why we stopped at that point and haven't tried to progress yet. (otherwise we'd have gone to at least fract 10).
And based off some instances recently, it seems like there is even more impatient no talking in chat gotta go fast people now (though this was dungeons and story instance stuff)
Eh, I don't mind non-smooth runs as long as everyone is having a good time rather than a smooth run by people who will have a go at you for messing up.

Anet said you can roughly expect a precursor drop once ever 1500 hours (by their math)
I have played around 3k hours and have 3 dropped, 2 dusk and 1 Storm. Howl also but I got that from the forge.
Oh I'd love to have a go at the raid content. I hope this happens.

I have almost 4800 hours on my account.
No precursors from any method, not including the stuff I've bought or crafted.
4440 and same, no precursor at all.
Cresc got his first the other day (about 4k playtime for him too), it was Dusk from the Sloth in Ember Bay.
Edit: I just finished Chalice of Tears and grabbed the tokens and whatevs. From what I had heard about it I thought it would be way worse. I mean I can't imagine doing it without a guide because it's so unclear where you're supposed to go, but the jumps themselves were fine.
But that means that it's not really a JP for me, just a badly designed area.

1500*5=7500hours i don't have that many hours, just hit 5k, gotten 5 pre-drop from mobs, and another 37-40 from the Forge..

I'm hoping to join in on the fun soon. The holidays throw my schedule off, but I should be able to start making them.

I'm probably near that, and I've never had one drop to date. Granted, it probably only drops if you are heavy into certain events.

I would expect the 1500 hours number to be based on fairly typical play. If you constantly did content specifically with a precurser in mind, i would expect it faster than that.

I know this is supposed to be funny. But to me it makes the mount system look really janky and terrible.
I mean.. its getting stuck on basic terrain.. =/
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
it's more to do with them not yet integrating the mount in other areas, iirc it transitions fine in the actual demo map
You realise this is a visual bug right? You can't possibly try to judge the mounts by looking at one that doesn't actually exist. :/
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I do wonder how people were able to bring the mounts outside the demo zone.

Crack in the Ice achievement is pissing me off fucking bugs sheeeesh.... I completed the episode again only to get the same bug again...FML...
In the description the uploader says it just appeared when WPing. I don't think it was intentional at all.

Wow, managed to snag an HP train on my engie that went way above and beyond, and not only got the Wp and Hp's, but every map Mastery point as well.
Wish I could have stayed longer, but wow, made a lot of progress in only a few hours.

Sometimes you get really good ones. Found one yesterday in TD which was the same, all WP, HP and Masteries.
Completed VB 100% yesterday so now I have completed all the HoT maps. Still got achievements and Mastery points to finish but for now I've got LW3 to finish off.
Talking about HP trains, this is going on today. Full trains of VB, AB and TD https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2...et_those_hero_points/?st=j7339opc&sh=043fd106
I have also joined a couple of trains lately. Two I had to leave before they were done but I got the points I needed. And one great one yesterday in TD where the commander used markers to guide the squad. I have not seen that before (strangely enough) and it worked great.
I'm having fun going through all fifty characters again, tweaking their builds and picking who will have the elite specs. And then trying to get some points for them of course. If there is no train I just finish the soloable ones and then I'll give the characters the rest of the points from PoF HPs instead.

Making my way through season 2 right now.
Glad they got rid of those close up talk scenes. I don't think they flowed/looked that well.
