Lacie

I don't really play GW2 anymore and I am not sure if I ever will again play it as much as I used to, so I am currently a rather 'inactive' DV member, but I am really glad about this decision ^^ For me, DV was always like a core of OC, a guild that represented its ideals and felt 'safe', and I am happy to hear it will once again move in that direction rather than the event spamming platform it has became lately

And I believe the words "Hang on. This is something I need to respond to." have very special meaning to my husband.

Actually that sentence has a very special meaning to me as well. It at some point becomes quite frustrating when your friend is busy answering and dealing with raid issues on one day in a week that was supposed to be reserved for doing something fun together.

I am still fairly new do Diablo, but I joined as well :3

That means that your comment is awaiting approval by a moderator. When you get accepted into a raid, your comment will get approved and you will receive a message telling you, that you got accepted into a raid

Also from quaggan JP, a quaggan flower!

That of course depends on your own preference, as some people prefer to switch classes around more. But at first it is generally better to focus on just one class that you know best, so you can get familiar with how the boss works, as playing a class you are more familiar with should allow you to pay more attention to the boss mechanics and get more comfortable with them. Also, fully mastering one class can get you and your group better results in a raid than trying to switch around multiple classes. As for the builds, again, at start, it is better to master one particular build, but as you progress, it doesn't hurt to learn all the other possibilities of what your class can do.

Thanks ^^

Sourunji: confirmed

Let me just say that I absolutely love your book selection - Pratchett, Gaiman, Colfer and especially Abhorsen trilogy, all of my favourites ^^ Also yay for Doctor Who and I can relate soo much to that problem with non-fiction books

And of course, welcome!

Heya everyone! ^^ I'm Lacie and I think I first joined DV in 2014 spring/summer after some TT runs, but then I left the game for a long time. And when I came back a few months ago, I decided that I just have to find that guild again.. in which I've obviously succeeded after some chaotic detective work (since I couldn't remember anything XD) And I'm really glad, since the game is really not that much fun, when you try to play everything on your own As far as GW2 goes, I'm pretty much completely new to certain aspects of the game (such as PvP, not doing that much or at all XD), but I'm always up for some events, fractals or dungeons (especially dungeons) if I have time, so don't be afraid to whisper me about that. Or if you just want someone to level up with, I have a lot of characters that reeaaally want to get to 80 ^^ 

My in-game name: Lacie.8213 | Seyana Ice (main), Froya Ehelsorn, Laera Nass and some others ^^

I`m really starting to get confused as to how this works, but yeah in this case, I`d like to join the second squad as well, please 

The details are still the same: Seyana Ice - DPS Dragonhunter. Just need to know some time or date, as to when I can join, times I`m available are above or just contact me whenever I`m online (which is usually everyday, at least on evenings) or even here on the forums. 

^ There can only be that one Iggy! *just kidding*

Since re-watching The Martian a few days ago, I've got this stuck in my head:

We need a chrono tank also il apreciate if u guys write your free days and hours so we can set the practice days and hours (Server Time). Thank You

My ingame name is Pheno.5964 (Revrond char name) please add me to friends or pm me just incase i miss someone , best will be if u guys join NUTS as non representing so Nightshade would add u to Raid-ers group so i can see ur for the raid squad.

I usually have some free time everyday, usually in afternoon/evening and on weekends I`m usually available the whole day, buut my exams are coming up, so I`d still prefer later hours (from 17/18 CEST to midnight, but with exception of sunday, tuesday and wednesday, I can stay up even after, and when exams start this will probably apply to the whole week). So far I know I won`t be online this saturday, then probably on May 13th and 20-22th (that will depend on how much studying I`ve done up to that point, so I can`t tell for sure yet). Also just feel free to contact me anytime I`m online in game or on ts if needed

Aaand sent the guild join request through the forum, so that should be alright  

I`d love to join as well, however I`m a complete newbie regarding the raids - I haven`t even been to one yet, so if that`s not a problem (if it`d help I can at least watch some/read some walkthroughs). I can bring full zerker dps guardian/dragonhunter (mostly exotic gear with some ascended pieces, I can also get ascended trinkets except for backpiece if needed). And if this turns out to be a long time thing, I could also bring condi reaper, but she`s not properly geared yet.

Lacie.8213, character name Seyana Ice.  

I'm still not 100% happy with the look of my main, so I don't want to post her here yet... but a few days ago I've finally finished up leveling my necro, Froya Ehelsorn, and as a reward I decided to give her a little makeover aaand I think after that she quickly became my favourite (don't tell my guardian xD) ^^

Where did that come from ? I'm pretty sure it was not in the patchnotes...

I wrote that, I think. Don't know about patch notes, but it was mentioned by one of the devs in AMA session on reddit, that the chance of getting ascended drop from fractals is a lot better now ^^ But maybe I just didn't understand it right, idk.

I had no idea something this big was coming and it caught me totally unprepared I am still a little lost in the patch notes and I'm probably missing half the changes, but the highlight for me was definitely the level 80 boost and the shared inventory slot (didn't have any before). Even thought I might never use it, I still think it was an awesome thing to do... only now I'm afraid I will get stuck in that trial mode for too long

Other than that, I completely agree with HoT maps and dungeons changes. The grind in HoT really got on my nerves, because it took forever to level up some of the masteries, so I really hope it will go at least a little faster now and as for dungeons I just hope this change will motivate more people to do them... I've only done a few and I'd really like to try out the harder ones. Also the token increase is awesome, I might actually get some dungeon armor someday!

Don't know about fractals, I was doing them only for a short time before the patch hit. But I guess with those new achievements it won't be as repetitive and the increase of ascended drops also looks pretty promising.

What I don't like is the reaper change, because I just finished leveling my necro, decided to go hybrid condi as it looked pretty viable and now I'm just not sure if I haven't wasted all that gold for nothing. But I'm not that experienced in this field to criticise the changes constructively.

And yeah, I think that's pretty much it for now. In summary, I'm really happy with this patch (if I leave out the random crashing that occured and was hopefully fixed afterwards)

Thank you
No worries, I totally get that ^^ I absolutely love talking and speculating about these games, I only wish there were more people in my vicinity willing to let me talk their ears off

Thanks to both of you :3

Hello! It's nice to see people from my country around here! Welcome.

Same here! I totally didn't expect to see people from my country here, but now I'm pleasantly surprised ^^

WOW

So many text, but I managed to read it!

More Inquisitors! More Shepards! 

And welcome to the forums Lacie <333

Yeah, sorry about that, I don't talk much, but when I do, it usually ends like this And I second that, more Bioware!

I came up with Lacie when i wanted to register on a text rpg, because the internet nickname I had at that time was unfitting for a character from fantasy universe. And of course I remembered that there was this anime with a melody called 'Lacie'... and my first rpg character was born Back then I didn't know that it was a legit name or a name of some character that would come up later in the series, and now I am stuck with it as every other account of mine on various sites is called either that or some slight variation of that... Also it's the only nickname I'm used to being called by, although lately I really wish I could change it to something better. Funny fact is that even after all this time of using it, I still don't know how to pronounce it right. 

As for the name of my characters in game, it's basically a random process... I usually create a character up to the point of choosing a name and then I just write the first thing that comes to mind. Sometimes I use a name generator, choose some random name and then alter it a little. For first names I overuse y, sh, th or ae a lot (Aleith, Saythes, Laera) and for last names I try to combine some english words fitting for the chosen race (Firelder, Nightseed) or in case of my norn necro just think of some name sounding 'nornish' (Ehelsorn). The only excepcion so far is my mesmer Laera Nass, Nass being an actual surname I wanted to use for another character in a text based rpg and my asura elementalist Laichu Phase, which was a result of me playing too much Pokemon X/Y (hint: I tried really hard to make her as orange as possible)  And as for my main Seyana Ice, there wasn't really any thought process... I think I just thought that guardians looked really icy and Seyana was probably some random name that popped up

Have this on repeat today, as it describes my own struggles with social situations pretty well.

Also this, because it's just that epic

Thanks, will do! Another two songs to add to my playlist, it seems ^^
I've definitely heard the name, never listened to anything from them though and now I see that I've been missing on a lot. They sound great!
Also after you've listened to some of the stuff you've marked down please let me know if you liked at least something, I'd really like to know

I'm a completionist - I just had to complete every zone, so by the time I got to the ending I managed to get spoiled just about everything Still, the biggest disappointment was probably the final boss fight, but I guess Trespasser kinda made up for the lack of more story in the main game ^^ On the topic of Mako, no arguments there, it was awesome, but still couldn't make up for kinda boring exploration (and even blowing up the big geth thingies got old after some time ).

Yeah, even to this day I blame my music taste on all those AMVs I used to watch when I first discovered youtube (Skillet and Evanescence were really popular back then). And of course I know Shinedown - love Diamond Eyes and Her Name is Alice ^^ Don't know about their other stuff though, so If you could recommend something, I'd be glad to listen to it

Oh, glad to hear that! It's always nice to meet people with similar interests ^^

Same here! As much as I love Inquisition, there were a lot of things I think they could have done better... the 'open-world' quests kinda killed the replay value for me (I only liked the ones like in Crestwood or Emprise du Lion, where it was this small story arch) and I'm not a big fan of the zoom-in coversations, althought I understand why they did that... I just wish they'd focus more on the main story rather than on the 'open-world' aspect, as the story itself felt kinda short... which is why I hope that the team working on ME:A learned something from this and won't make the same mistakes (at least in my eyes). But yeah, the open-world is pretty much a given, I think they advertised bringing back the Mako exploration, which is what I'm really scared of, as I preferred the more linear approach of ME2 and ME3... but hey, if they actually put some work into making the planets interesting as opposed to random lumps of differently colored rocks, it could be fun, I guess As far as speculations go, I'm pretty much in the dark here... I know it's supposed to take place a loong time after the original trilogy, but like... will they completely ignore it or just mention it? Because I can't imagine how would they account for every one of the three endings. But I always thought it'd be cool if the protagonist turned out to be the child from the ME3 epilogue ^^ I suppose they will also introduce some new races and as much as I'm gonna miss the old companions (how will I ever get throught that without Garrus's voice, idk XD), I can't wait for the reveal of the new ones But better to end it here, this is getting too long already and if I were to continue I wouldn't be able to resist speculating about Dragon Age too, and that'd be for a few pages at least 

No worries, I understand that quite well, I don't even have time for the stuff I'm watching right now.. But I doubt I could recommend anything you wouldn't already at least heard of 

Well, I mainly listen to symphonic/epic metal or power metal, so obviously Nightwish (still the best show I've ever been at), but that's probably nothing new My other metal favourites would be Avantasia/Edguy (both have the same frontman and I consider them one of the absolute best metal bands out there), Kamelot (I prefer the newer albums, especially Silverthorn, as their older stuff is kinda heavier) and HIM (don't know if I can label them as metal, but they don't really fit into any known category, amazing stuff though). I'd also recommend Elvenking (Winter Wake album, I have them labeled as folk-metal, they sound a little like if Flogging Molly went metal) and Therion (Vovin album, similar to older Nightwish stuff). There is also Manowar, HammerFall, Amorphis... but I usually think them to be a little generic.
In rock sphere I'm more into classic rock, so there's probably no point in repeating the obvious names (maybe two not too well known are Axel Rudi Pell and Helloween, both have amazing ballads). Otherwise I like alternative rock or post-punk wave, so Green Day is the obvious choice there, however my favourite band would probably be Placebo, so if nothing else, just listen to them Also Broken Iris and Poets of the Fall are pretty good, but a little melancholic... and then there's Arctic Monkeys (they sound a little like Depeche Mode, I'd recommend the song Do I Wanna Know) and Sixx A.M. (song Life is Beautiful). I also used to be crazy about Evanescence, Skillet, Within Tempation and so on... but again, this is too long already and you probably know some of these anyway I could also recommend some czech metal, but language barrier and such doesn't make it easy to listen to... But if you'd like some other tips, feel free to ask, I have a really long list here ^^
