I have discovered that I can almost completely alleviate my issues running GW by running it windowed. I don't know why this is, but at least I can play the game again.

I mostly play PvE, but from time to time I'll hop into Fort Aspenwood, Jade Quarry, or an Alliance Battle, since those are the more accessible and friendly PvP formats to PvErs.

I have ten level 20 characters. One of each class. I hate levelling up characters, but at least now I'm done with it forever. Now if only I could just unlock all outposts on all of my characters without having to spend 30 hours per game for each doing inane quests and dying in missions. I want some of the skills Nightfall added, but the only place where you can get to a trainer that has all the new ones is in The Mouth of Torment. Compare to Factions, where foreign characters can just talk to the skill trainer in Kaineng and there they go, every new skill in Factions for their class.

Oh the hilarity. I just vanquished Sulfurous Wastes with no healers. On top of that, half of the party only had Charm Animal. Flagging + Junundu + disabling Leave Junundu on heroes FTW. For one last bit of lolage, I ordered the henchmen in my party so their profession abbreviations spelled "DERP".

My necromancer finally has her obsidian armor. Also as a bonus or something, I got a shard while doing Defend the Temple. I went in with everything I needed, so... yeah.

Current in-game projects:
 * Filling in my Menagerie (Just the Black Widow and the Rainbow Phoenix left, and I'm two Nightfall NM Master's bonuses and one arbitrary title away from the Rainbow Phoenix)
 * Get my dervish up to Legendary Survivor so I can go get him killed
 * Get a new computer so I can play the game fullscreen again

Birthday updates
ANet likes to nerf stuff on my birthday.

Nothing in 2006.

In 2007, they nerfed pet corpses just to mess with people farming tombs.

In 2008, they nerfed HFFF for no good reason.

Nothing in 2009.

What will next November hold for us?

Other stuff
I might write random articles from time to time that have no real place on GuildWiki other than my user page. They'll be listed here.

 * Elite Skills

Random stuff

 * Guide to Getting the Hang of Dungeons - written as I went along. Hopefully it should help anyone else who hasn't done anything the GW:EN story didn't require.
 * Good Hero Builds - Builds that the hero AI can just go on autopilot with.
 * Bonfaaz Pwntfur - exploiting level/armor differences to solo low level missions results in stuff like this.
 * To Familiar Lands - quest stemming from killing the above foe.
 * "Ni!" - Sleep deprivation combined with habitual reading of talk pages.
 * The Art of Skill Bar Organization - I attribute writing this to boredom.


 * Augury Rock HM Builds - Because having Augury Rock as a Zaishen Mission is lulz
 * Sandbox - Random build inspirations or what have you.
 * Userboxes - various ones I've made, free for the taking.
