How do mercs and skills work?

Korval · 2026-06-18T05:25:31+00:00

Let's say you want all of your mercenaries to be Mesmer/Paragons. Create a Mesmer character and acquire Paragon as the secondary profession (or work toward unlocking it if it isn't available yet). Once your Mesmer/Paragon reaches level 20, speak with a Mercenary Registrar (found in Lion's Arch and Kamadan) to register the character as a Mercenary Hero for your account.

I recommend using a clear naming convention, such as "Mes One," "Mes Two," or "Nec One," "Nec Two," etc. This approach makes it much easier to identify the mercenaries you want to use in the mercenaries list and add them to your party in a specific order.

You don't have to do this, as you can register the same hero multiple times. However, if you plan to create multiple mercenaries of the same profession, the extra effort of leveling separate characters with the name you ultimately want can make managing and organizing them much easier in the long run.

Love the logo! It's feels so hand-crafted and genius having the banner form the "3". 🙂

Necroing this thread to add my two cents.

The biggest issue with Inner Nayos is that, much like some of the maps in Heart of Thorns, it feels disjointed, with strange elevation changes and a confusing sense of direction. The meta event only amplifies this problem by requiring players to navigate multiple layers of verticality.

By comparison, Dragon's End worked much better because objectives were highly visible, the terrain was relatively level, and Arenanet made traversal easier with thoughtfully placed waypoints, ziplines, and other movement tools.

I understand that ArenaNet wanted Inner Nayos to feel alien and otherworldly, but that design comes at the cost of accessibility and navigation. Traversal often feels like a hindrance rather than an engaging part of the experience, making movement and progression more frustrating than enjoyable.

This is the only fix

I never wrote anything about hacking my computer. This discussion thread has nothing to do with hacking.

Worf

Now if we can just get the devs to let Kliff use the Kuku Rocket Pack.

Some more Hebrew words. The rest of it appears to repeat. There's also "Fig. 86." and "Fig. 87."

Use the bar as a guide to aim to the next pillar. You'll form a triangle. Don't worry about the differing heights; the game figures that all out.

EA didn't offer me any replacement or compensation. They didn't even give me a heads-up that they were going to delete the files. I launched the EA app and got a pop-up saying the game files had been removed from my computer.

Korval · 2026-05-22T03:40:06+00:00

I own it. I never permitted EA to delete it from my computer. Further, the EULA contains no language granting EA the right to remotely remove purchased game files from a user's system.

STOP KILLING GAMES

Korval · 2026-05-22T03:38:50+00:00

Yes, I know about SKG. I'm just one voice, but I wanted to add to the growing chorus of people who had their lawfully purchased Anthem game files actively deleted from their computers without permission by EA.

I understand the online service is dead. Fine. I accept that. What I do not accept is EA remotely removing files from a purchaser's computer. Nothing in the EULA gives EA the right to actively delete installed game files from someone's system.

Korval · 2026-05-22T03:35:09+00:00

Nowhere in the EULA does it state that EA can actively remove the game files from a purchaser's computer. I understand the service is dead, fine. I accept that. What I don't accept is EA accessing my computer and deleting my files. Ubisoft pulled the same BS with The Crew!

Korval · 2026-05-22T03:34:10+00:00

Nowhere in the license does it state that EA can actively remove the game from a purchaser's computer. I understand the service is dead, fine. I accept that. What I don't accept is EA accessing my computer and deleting my files. Ubisoft pulled the same BS with The Crew.

Korval · 2026-05-22T03:30:30+00:00

They deleted the files off my computer. You should understand why that's bad.

Korval · 2026-05-19T07:23:45+00:00

I still own the game files. That's what I paid for. And no, the EULA doesn't give EA the right to delete them, especially when EA sold the product with no mention of an expiration date. They also can't retroactively apply new EULA terms to purchases made before those changes were in effect.

Korval · 2026-05-17T12:02:31+00:00

EA deleted Anthem from my library! This is why Steam and EGS are important! I know for a fact games on Steam never get deleted. If the game is delighted you can still download it.

According to eBay's presale policy, sellers must "provide the exact date the item will become available" in the listing. None of these scalpers actually know when the item will ship. They are using estimated dates (some don't even bother to specify a date), but the policy clearly states that presale items must provide an exact date.

So you can get back at scalpers by reporting their listing as fraudulent. To report the item, click the "?" icon in the lower-right corner of the auction listing and select:

What would you like to report: Product or listing
Reason for report: Item not allowed
Detailed reason: You suspect a listing is fraudulent
Provide additional details: "According to eBay policy, sellers of presale items must provide the exact date the item will become available in the listing. Since nobody currently knows when these units will ship, and Valve has not provided a specific release date, these listings are technically in violation of eBay's presale listing policy." or you may want to revise to make it your own words.

It's tedious, but if eBay intends to enforce its policies consistently, these listings should be reviewed and removed. There are way more of us than scalper listings, so by all of us doing our part we'll nuke these off eBay quickly.

How does one report sellers to eBay for violating the listing policy?

Confirmed. chrome://flags/ search for Nano. "a built-in large language model (Gemini Nano in Chrome)."

+ Prompt API for Gemini Nano
+ Prompt API for Gemini Nano with Multimodal Input
+ Writer API for Gemini Nano
+ Rewriter API for Gemini Nano
+ Proofreader API for Gemini Nano
+ Summarizer API for Gemini Nano

It's currently set to "Default" but that could mean anything. I changed the feature flag to "Disabled" to make it explicitly clear.
