Is it exclusive to Wayfarer refugees? I only have one character :| Hopefully it counts Diessa refugees too.
There aren't any Diessa refugees. Nothing's happening there so far. You could just guest on another server and do it. That should work.

Ah, good point, Hawkian.
Too bad you can't guest for WvW. Could really use a group of people to help clear the area of poi's and such. This is where it would be handy to be a thief with invisibility skills haha If only there was some universal skill or sign I could do for enemy servers that signify I'm just clearing the zone and have no intention of fighting.

We did 20 last night with a handful of no AR folks including myself. It took a while.
It actually went fine outside of the Dredge fractal, we fairly easily did Cliffside and Grawl Shaman one.
Well, the archdiviner was reflected into a cage where he was invulnerable for 5 minutes.
Yes, what he said. It wasn't particularly bad until you hit dredge army and the agony inducing ground pounding attack that goes so quickly for longer than a person can dodge for.
I think that point is an AR check because you'd have to anticipate in advance to be able to time the lull between your first and second dodge to that brief moment when it's not hitting the ground sending the shock wave. But even then, I'm not sure if the already outgoing wave is staggered from the ground hits or if it is exactly on mark with it.
That's what happened, yes. I recall from 50% hp to that 10% mark I didn't get hit by agony though so I don't know. Running back to boss from death when there was a lull in combat I'd always get hit by agony right before I got to the group so the focus was just to drop dead without falling into the pit mid-jump.

New dailies are crap and takes longer, the old dailies was never grind, 20mins max i was done, it took me 20mins to revive 3 people, i decide to join a CoF group to get my revives, the new dailies are fucking shit...
Heads up everyone with AMD cards. There's a new catalyst beta driver available that "greatly improves GW2 performance"
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst132BetaDriver.aspx
My frame rate only went up slightly but I'm running max quality.
My buddy who's running low had his frame rate doubled.

Nice find, man! Will snag it when I get home.
NPCs work for revives, there are dead npcs all over the place.
New dailies are cool and more fun, the old dailies always same, 20mins max but i was not having fun, it took me 20sec to realize it is 3x better, i dont know what they will be from day to day to get them done, the new dailies are the fucking shit...
I don't trust Beta Drivers (last time I installed them, the color settings on my PC changed and everything was pink), but this did remind me to update mine, which were quite outdated. Considering the version I'm installing now is 13.1 and the beta you linked was 13.2, hopefully there's some improvement overall. Not that my performance was bad to begin with but... thanks.

Thanks, but I'm afraid of getting stomped :[One solution is to go to sPvP, where you have the full complement of skills and traits automatically available. You can test things out there if you're not afraid to get stomped.
Not sure how much I can learn if everyone runs the stomp-train on me.
Thanks for the info!In the Heart of the Mists you can test out a fully geared level 80 version of your class with any weapon, skill and trait combination to your heart's content against various training dummies. Try making a new character and going right there to see how you feel and maybe it'll help you decide on a class.
The thing is, leveling your character is how you get acquanited both with the core mechanics of the game, the unique mechanics of your class, and the specific mechanics of the build you want to run. Each class has a different curve. I'm not surprised that you had an odd experience with a mesmer around level 15, as they have a quite steep learning curve and the early game before you get some functional traits is brutal. However, they wind up being (in my humble opinion) one of the most powerful, versatile classes in the game.
edit: Btw, I looked back, maybe you ought to give scepter/dagger a shot with your ele? I like it a lot though it's a less common set. You get access to a bunch of the cool dagger skills including Ride the Lightning and some great fields, without needing to get as close in basically melee range to do damage.
Gonna try that out. I really do see the potential in Mesmer and Ele being something I could really get into. Eng is ... kinda strange as I thought that the pistol skills would be a bit more interesting ... but like I said, I DO like being able to take hits. She has only gone down like twice so far.
Start it now before you want to play, that way it'll be done.
Yeaah. You can submit a ticket saying you were hacked.
Laurels be very promising indeed. There's some refugees to help out in Wayfarer Foothills too (the start of a new world event). I'm grabbing those drivers now, sounds too good to be true.
edit: Huh. If I ever give DmC a shot I'll have no way to compare (50% improved performance o.o)
edit again:
Holy shit. Props to the AMD server backbone :O
I still haven't started Sleeping Dogs (lol backlog lol) but it's on my list. Looks like funnnn stuff.
Yeeeeesh. How long ago were those login attempts?

Sleeping Dogs is amazing. I loved it and I'm not really a fan of the "GTA" sandbox style games. You're in for a treat when you get to that Hawkian.

Anyone else that installed the new drivers experiencing a black frame around their monitor? Screen Resolution shows it's at max...

I actually JUST figured this out a minute ago, thanks though for the quick response!
I thought as much. I'll make sure to have a few sets for different encounters though, just like in GW1. Cheers.

I use rampager's but I'm kind of insane that way. Staff dps on its own is pretty poor. It's really more about movement and control. You should select your DPS weapon and synergize with that. Both greatsword and sword/pistol work ridiculously well with sharper images (15 dueling), high precision and high condition damage. Rampager's will give you an edge in this arena at the expense of some survivability. Possibly look into rabid gear if you want to be able to take a hit or two?

Still bugs need to be worked out with the new Dailies, for the Vet Slayer my friend was getting credit for it with all the other people in CS, but i had to solo 5 of them to get credit..
Weird. It seems to work flawlessly in WvW; all the NPCs at sentries/camps/towers/keeps count at Vets.
And as someone else said, use NPCs for the revives. Just about every zone has an area with NPCs that need rescuing.
As for Flame and Frost, if it wasn't for the Flame, I'd guess that the situation is related to Jormag. I haven't actually done any of the volunteer events yet, so I'll interview some of the refugees then and come up with a conclusion.

Based on my impression it has to do w/
Right now I'm trying to find gear to work towards but I have a hard time figuring out what three stats correspond to each name (knight, carrion, etc). Also I don't have a place that lists armor by the collection of stats (name) and not just each stat separately.

Use this for armor
Use this for weapons
Those won't give you any specific numbers, but they will tell you what attributes each gives and whether they're major or minor.
By doing daily and monthly.
Anyone have any favorite places to take screenshots in? Most of mine are kind of bland, either WvW or the area around CoF
Divinity's Reach and Queensdale seem to be my go-to places.
