This thread is about a game which name cannot be spoken here.
The new expansion is coming out in 10 days.
What do you think about mounts?

I like the physics they have. Also skimmer looks cool.
This game threads should be revived.

But the spam bots....

This is why we aren't using the name.
Probably the spambots reacts only for the name game in title.
If it works for everything else. You could just use the game name in any other thread to totally destroy it.(which might be possible but we don't know it yet)

He manually re-aims the bot sometimes. It's a good idea, but we're still doomed on a slightly longer timescale.

Also, it the aforementioned "name of the forbidden one" actually killed the miscellaneous mmo general thread a bit ago (and added it to the auto-aim of the bot), and intentionally, because someone didnt like having this game being discussed around their 2d isometric anime waifu games and decided they'd sink their own ship.

I got the original guild wars 2, will i be able to play this expansion or i will have to pay for it?

If we will be sure it only catches phrases in the title, we can avoid it by using common words which can't be tracked (for example if we use word anime the bot can't track it because there are to many threads using this word). We still don't know how it works so testing is the only way.
Right now the thread works properly so we can enjoy it.

You will have to buy the expansion to play the new content. You will still be able to play old content and s of the new content( new fractals for example).

and small part of the new content*
I had some weird lag.

but i played this game like 5 years ago, if the expansion is coming out now im sure its gonna be completely empty

I don't think so. Right now it has mega server system which combines less populated maps from smaller servers with the ones from bigger servers so they won't be empty. Also maps with too many players are divided for the maps to not be overpopulated.
But personally I am not the fan of the core game content for me it always felt grindy(becasue of hearts system) the expansions have event chains which I personally prefer also maps from expansion are much more challenging. So if you want to play with core game I reccomend you to try PvP, WvW( if you like zergs), fractals and dungeons.

Game's still pretty populous, and character levels ger scaled to the zone they're in, so a champion mob in a starting zone is still going to hurt a max leveled character. You'll also have whole crowds of people doing the occasional daily challenges, or just running around mining.

Isn't it like the third biggest mmo right now?

The [Game] mount experience, as experienced by me during the preview weekend.

>fuck, this is awful, the turning radius is huge and its a little laggy
>no it's not, retard, it's behaving like an animal you're riding
>holy shit it's behaving like an animal you're riding

>several minutes later:

>fuck, [destination] is far away. Oh yeah, mount. :press X:
>tfw massive jump across a sizable gap
>tfw handily winning races
>tfw you figure out you can dye the raptor's highlights and every color you pick feels natural and not garish

>several days later:

>fuck why am I going so slow?
>press x
>press x again

Discounting the like korean autism containment units that are lineage 1 and 2, something like that, yeah.

Your game is shit, and Heart of Thorns put the nail in its coffin to warn sad saps to treat any "expansion" from these shitty devs with caution.

why did the general start getting spammed? was very inconvenient when i wanted to whine about something retarded in gw2

Literally had the same experience. Now I can't play the game without mounts.

It'll make world completion much more easier

And mats farimng.
It's interesting if the mats prices are gonna have a big change after expansion.

Still can't farm leather.

The economy is going to be a clusterfuck for months after the expansion drops, just because of the kinds of disruption that come with this much content. I'd suggest using the next week to go as liquid as you possibly can, and keep an eye out for that shit that you KNOW is going to sell like fucking hotcakes once people catch on.

There are literal leather farm trains in lake doric, user.

Very long story short, extreme autist was kicked from both the NA and EU guilds because his behavior was too cancerous and attention seeking for people that are themselves cancerous attention seekers, spammed the thread with furry race screenshots for literal years to next to no effect, further weaponized his autism with a full assault in an attempt to drown out all conversation (what little was actually had anyway)

Incidentally, this is why we don't really people trying to duck the bot. Even before the bot, the general was barely active enough to sustain itself without people actively bumping it.

the first time or two i saw what was actually a spammed thread, i assumed it was real and just really bad. really captured the essence of your average Veeky Forums user

That's the thing - it copies and pastes text from other threads on Veeky Forums, along with images, so it looks like human speech (because it is), but it's just contextless noise.

We've tried A LOT to a avoid the bot - removing the OP and sticking shit in a pastebin, alternate names for the general, posting a game-related image, everyone using a name that changes with every post, the whole nine. He usually monitors the thread and adapts the bot pretty quickly, usually a new obfuscation method only lasts a few posts before it gets nabbed.

Frankly I'm surprised this has lasted as long as it has. I would assume he'd be monitoring the board more closely with the expansion coming along.

hard to outrun someone who sounds like he has all day to devote to this endeavor

Why is every fucking faction in this game led by a female character? And why do they all have the same identical cocky personality and porn actress voice?

>"oh cool, mounts are coming"
>theres only 4 and everyone gets the same 4

;-)

They'll make up for it with more wacky female characters and gem store backpacks for furries.

You're going to need to provide specific examples. Like...order of whispers and the shining blade are the only ones I can think of, and they're both basically spy agencies, so they're going to be lead by cocky sluts because the archetypical devious woman is a cocky slut.

There were exactly two gliders at launch, and one was a preorder skin, and one other wasnt even officially announced (pic realated) If you think we wont get new AT LEAST new skins you havent been paying attention to Anet in the last two years.

Four mounts = four different mechanics + different masteries
most games has 100 mounts which basically is 1 mount with different skins.

Post cute

It amazes me that you havent learned the consequences of that kind of shitposting by now.
