In the options menu, you can also set the Content Guide to Disable Personal Story, and it will point you to nearby events and map completion objectives. If you don't want events either, there's an option for that too. I am constantly switching between these three settings depending on what I'm trying to do.

Ha! Yeah, I'm a little surprised folks thought I'd take off work during such a pivotal moment, but I agree that my comment in Twitch chat was a little unclear. I am looking forward to getting SOME playtime in on launch day, though!

That's cool that he's got the luxury of taking time off of work. Some of us would like to do the same. Also some of us need to know way in advance in order to take that time off but hey grouch has it already scheduled off so that's all that matters.

To clarify, I was trying to say that I've taken time off of work for game releases in the past - like I did for Guild Wars 2's launch back in 2012. I'm not taking time off for End of Dragons launch. :)

With DX11 there is a very significant framerate gain, as in I can almost max all settings (other than model number in pve metas). So even with the current implementation of DX11 (setting aside a few bugs and rare crashes) the situation of “you need the most expensive CPU” is clearly changing.

I'm not saying you need an expensive card, I'm saying in your price range taking some cores over a single-threaded cpu, especially mid-to-high end, is likely a good option.

On the wiki pages, https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Living_World_Season_4_Complete_Pack, you can see the gem store history section to get a sense of what sale prices and potential times have been in the past. With that stuff, definitely look into buying them based on when you are going to do the content. Doesn't hurt to wait if you aren't planning on doing them yet.

Definitely its a do whichever way you want, especially since it sounds like you already leveled a main. I typically leave the decision to when I'm wanting to do core/chill zone content that isn't map completion currently. Its really nice to just get access to another profession type especially in wvw/etc. To note, you can keep/use it to try out all 9 professions at 80 quick to see each and then revert in that map. Also as others have mentioned, level tomes are a thing and you will get a decent amount as you play wvw/pvp, so don't feel restricted in how many characters you will get to level in this way.

Yeah its a pretty good and important collection to get, those drops are decently valuable and build up as essentially free additional items that you wouldn't get without the collection done.

https://fast.farming-community.eu - Good for currencies, bags, etc

Lots of places for items in places as discussed, but its really mostly about knowing and seeing conversion methods. One core thing to remember is that when you convert an item into another it is "Saving/Offloading" the 15% tp fee essentially, as you don't need to buy it. Generally possible to find profit in this way.

One of the main farming chains is Icebrood Eternal Ice -> Lw4 currencies -> Volatile Magic -> t5/t6 trophies or other mats -> upgrading to t6 -> gold/trade, stopping wherever is most ideal to you

Probably an i5 12 series

As he says for directx 11, I would recommend a 4/6 core cpu at least with the tiny single core speed cut. As directx 11 continues in beta in the future and for anything else you would be doing with the machine. Fyi, not based on any specific and/or direct information on directx 11 development really though

I'm pretty sure developing this instance left me dehydrated for a year following its' release.

You can still claim with all five. Your WvW guild is just used for matchmaking purposes.

I'd be curious to know more about what was happening when you couldn't claim.
