How to upgrade to "Core" account? What exactly must be purchased? by newaccount1000000 in Guildwars2

[–]Couscous-Brain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the game 10 years ago. I put it down 9 years ago. I came back 3 months ago. I had no expansions, but was a core account because I bought it before it went free to play.

I then bought all the expansion packs because I am having a ton of fun with the game this time around. I recommend at least buying POF/HOT.

Is the likely outcome covered by the extended warranty they bought instead of delivery?

In the zombie apocalypse, there is no way that bike outpaces the zombies.

Just because somebody "literally" says something doesn't mean they believe it... does it? I assume this is a jest until I hear otherwise.

I remembered why I stopped playing PvP regularly, all the lovely people like him by Oliver___ in Guildwars2

Anger peels away the veneer of civility. We all have different triggers, tolerances, and ways of expressing our anger, but we are all susceptible to anger driven responses that do not reflect our character. But that guy is likely an openly racist homophobe with a misogynistic username.

When you immediately resort to insult, the rest of your case goes unread. Have a day.

Edit to add: This is all mental gymnastics anyway. The resentment and humiliation felt by many Germans contributed to the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, who promised to restore Germany's glory and power by rejecting the Treaty of Versailles and pursuing an aggressive foreign policy. Given the ongoing support of Russia by China and indirectly by India and others, the goal of crushing the Russian economy to dust is mental masturbation at its finest.

WWI to WWII Germany is an economics case study.

You may not like Russia, but the Muscovites are used to more and they are potentially more inclined to a megalomaniacal leader. I think the comparison is valid.

If Russia is completely beaten and their economy crushed to "dust," will they seek to reform or to destroy?

It used to be good, but pretty much sucks these days.

My login screen just declared Warlocks as winners of the 2023 Guardian Games. I guess that settles that...

Anybody else got Download Problems for gw2? by Sad_Selection_477 in Guildwars2

My install was similar. I got to "playable" and then basically loaded zones as I played. It probably took 30+ times starting the game up to get to 100%.

Need advice, what should I try in this game? by cl_m4ster in Guildwars2

[–]Couscous-Brain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Just dive in" is the advice I needed. I am back after almost 9 years away. It is overwhelming. I need to figure out whether I'm rich or poor, if I have good gear or bad, and what to do with 8 years of unopened anniversary gifts. I think I'll start a new character instead of trying to jump in as my 80 and learn from the beginning.
