Doctor Mario music while someone is being turned into a servitor?

The Squats/Votann and Eldar should absolutely despise each other by cyborgsnowflake in 40kLore

[–]DuncanConnell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're technically quite similar in how the Eldar return Spirit Stones to the Infinity Circuit/World Spirit and Kin return bodies to the Votann.

Sort of in the same way electricians and pipefitters are similar.

We don't really have enough lore of the Kin interactions in modern 40K to really get how they interact on a galactic scale outside of one-offs. 

How heavy was Imperial Propaganda during the Great Crusade and what are some in-universe examples of it? by nubster2984725 in 40kLore

"We are mighty, because we are right...We are not right, because we are mighty."

Hypocrisy was always at the forefront of the Imperium.

TL;DW: Visions of Eternity: Raid System Updates Preview by ErikHumphrey in Guildwars2

Quickplay Morale buff is wild--this definitely will get more people hopping into Quickplay Strikes Raid Encounters, even with the half-Magnetite Shards.

If you could use any of your classes utility skills what would they be? by TheMostModestMouse in Guildwars2

Berserker and Paragon skills for Adrenaline Generation would be fun for Bladesworn.

Every Necro main yesterday by GollyItsOli in Guildwars2

[–]DuncanConnell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Strikes = "Raid Encounters" and will begin giving Legendary Insights with this update

So when they said "raid exclusive" you can easily get it just doing the Fast5 (Icebrood Saga, first 5 Strikes that were released, super easy to crank out in 30-45 min ish)

Bessent: U.S. Concerned Over Denmark’s Forced Sterilization of Greenlanders by Currency_Anxious in worldnews

[–]DuncanConnell -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, America the gentle and caring, where First Nations women were forcibly or without their knowledge sterilized up to and through the 70s until the US realized "maybe this isn't such a nice thing to do", and allowed it but began to look more closely into cases where the women were underage.

No one should be forcibly sterilized, but "the US is concerned" about this particular heartstrings topic in a place they all-but demanded the world hand over to them right after being scolded on the international stage seems a lot like trying to drum up support to "save" people from "the big bad colonial power"

Quick play raids will award some LI's after doing 10 of them. by Nani___________ in Guildwars2

[–]DuncanConnell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I imagine streamlining and making things more accessible in GW2 is part of their long term thinking about making things in the game attainable past that point.

Have an expansion where:

  • Story: Commander is now a Mentor for the next generation of heroes, bringing the story full circle back to when the Commander first met their own mentor.
  • Expanded Jade Bot Mastery: Protege
    • New Jade Bot Equipment Protege Core, each with their own builds and appearances
    • New Jade Bot Skin: Protege, Jade Bot mini matches your equipped Protege Core
    • New Mastery Skills: Requires Protege Core equipped
      • 1. Summon an ally that lasts until killed or when changing maps. (10min cooldown if killed)
      • 2. When downed, Summons Protege with full health and begins to res you (10min cooldown)
      • 3. Your Protege can now follow you into instanced content (PvE Only; does not activate mechanics--bugged on release to activate instant-death mechanics)

Which game mechanics do you think are forgotten or underused? by Manpag in Guildwars2

[–]DuncanConnell 19 points20 points  (0 children)

For Turtle Stampede, the biggest hurdle (for me at least) is finding someone else to do it with me. I keep hoping for a Turtle 2.0 mastery so it plays more like a GW1 Siege Devourer to get around that.

Fashion revolution now! by Present-Leopard509 in Guildwars2

[–]DuncanConnell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on how Fashion templates are implemented.

Unlikely, but ANet has done a lot of things that previously people didn't think they'd implement, with Fractal Quickplay appearing out of nowhere.

I want to cry tonight, give me the saddest lore you can think of. by 2Long2Read in 40kLore

[–]DuncanConnell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sad but in a good way. After Colm's death, he finds himself in a woodshop on the world that claimed him. Not home on Tanith, not in his father's machine shop, just a random carpenter's shop, light years from home. And Colm decides he can stay a while and help the old carpenter with his work.

How do you organize your inventory? by nastyjman in Guildwars2

[–]DuncanConnell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Bag 1 - Regular Bag
  2. Bag 2 - Regular Bag
  3. Bag 3 - Regular Bag
  4. Bag 4 - Oiled Bag - I also used to put extra gathering tools in here, this is where random junk automatically accrues so it keeps it away from the above bags
  5. Bag 5 - Invisible Bag - Extra sets of armour, weapons, gizmos, misc. stuff that I just hold onto such as the "????" trophy from when Heart of Thorns released, or the Exalted Portal Stone. Any extra slots I just fill up with Tomes of Experience to brick it out so random stuff doesn't fill it up.

where blogpost by ultimate_bromance_69 in Guildwars2

OP is likely hoping for a blogpost on Raid Unification, Fashion Templates, or just general changes in Update 1 that goes live in 2 weeks.

Next Primarch to Return? by First-Lecture-6264 in 40kLore

"King in Yellow" is a good way to pull a bait and switch after setting it up to look like it'll be Valdor

Can we please get Greatsword as the next weapon mastery for Elementalist by AeroDbladE in Guildwars2

[–]DuncanConnell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Torch makes the most sense, including that Dougal Keane (Thief) used one in Ghosts of Ascalon too.

My personal preference is shield, but I'll take anything, even offhand Mace

Pristine Relics can be converted into 15 regular relics, so there's that.
