Dragon Swords and Weapon Mods Dealer
Holy cow! someone who actually shares my ideas for both of these! Seriously Anet, listen to Sarah!!!!!--Fiznuckin Biznitch 00:05, 5 August 2006 (CDT)

Yay for you, well written and verbose in the extreme! I actually enjoyed reading this. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.101.116.73 (talk &bull; contribs) 18:10, 4 March 2007 (CDT).

Good luck with the dark/light damage swords, those would be kinda imba :p &mdash; Skuld 04:31, 28 March 2007 (CDT)

I agree, a sword dealing Chaos, Light or Dark damage is highly improbable, since those damages are otherwise unachievale exept through wands and ignore all +armor against elemental or physical mods. The ebon and shocking swords are perfectly feasable, though I doubt the skinf on an Ebon Dragon Sword would be that sweet, a Shocking Dragon Sword with an effect similar to a Storm Bow would definitly be sweet.--Devils Apprentice 17:37, 11 May 2007 (CDT)

 * Yeah, I also stole it... it is just so excellent. I can't believe I never found this section before, I read the entire thing the moment I found it.  Incredibly engaging!  Defiant Elements  (talk ~ contribs) 03:28, 28 March 2007 (CDT)
 * it's unbeleavably cathartic ;) --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 03:37, 28 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I do the same thing... I just don't write it all down. Much more cathartic if you say your rants out loud (preferably screaming).  :D Defiant Elements  (talk ~ contribs) 03:38, 28 March 2007 (CDT)

Insomnia Sucks
Can I add myself to the list? For the last coupla' weeks I have been editing until around 4 AM every night. And, I actually suffer from Insomina. Defiant Elements (talk ~ contribs) 03:40, 28 March 2007 (CDT)

yep yep yep
And yep. BTW, if your still lookins for a guild (or alliance with where you are), mine is small (4 active, 6 or 7 total) and doesn't give a hoot about PvP. We even have an alliance that adds another whooping 2 people to the mix! (they use our GH, and we share help once in awhile (like when getting Tyria GMC!)). If I remember correctly, we should just recently be at 1 Kurzick faction now, but only because we care (oopsed and put some faction in it once). You can't hurt our guild, as everyone in it (so far) knows at least one other person in it in that thing called Real Life&trade; (well, one knows 2, the others all know everyone else, for years).

Mapping
I can't help with Cantha 100% map (I never bothered/desired to finsh that campaign), but I have minimaps of all regions of both Tyria and Elona 100% (+) maps in the links below. Open the map files with full screen image viewer. Run GW in window mode and make mini-map as large as screen or the map files, which ever you prefer. Quickly Alt-Tab between programs (GW and image viewer) to easily see areas you need to uncover. Since all images were taken from mini-map maps, there is no worry of cloud cover confusion that you get from M map. http://preview.tinyurl.com/2z7pcc 20.5 MB - Tyria 100% + (probably 102% between both sets) http://preview.tinyurl.com/2cndce 62.3 MB - Elona 100% + (probably 101%) Good luck and go slow.

 * JPG files (smaller with some minor loss of quality)
 * 2 sets of 100% maps
 * mine are mini-mapped from Abaddon's Mouth
 * alliance friend's from other places
 * BMP files (large, easier to spot diffs (no JPG munge))
 * 1 set of 100% maps (if you d/l TC Fish's map it shows some other spots)

Re: Signet of New Content
this is why we need to put real effort into the build section, and have a very short list of very good builds. Seconded. Hard Mode killed the 'any build works in PvE' arguement. A builds section is a more valuable resource than ever. sigh. Anyway, I say this primarily as someone who's been inspired by HM to figure out how to competently monk again, after over a year of ignoring that character. If it ever happens that I do happen to incomptently monk for you, please keep in mind it's just newbishness, not noobishness. AnticDevices 11:39, 11 May 2007 (CDT)
 * don't feel alone, i've the same issue. my monk has almost a year's worth of dust on her. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 22:04, 11 May 2007 (CDT)

Cartography

 * I would say hugging the walls of the barabarous shores, and possibly making sure you've got everything around pogramh is key. the desolations has a lot of small gimmicky nplaces that don't seem like much, but do count for maybe .1% of the total. but mostly, hugging the walls is key.--Lullysing 08:32, 17 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Hang in there, as an owner of a shiny Legendary Cartographer title myself, can assure it is possible, even if can feel fustratingly like it's not when you're scaping walls until your nose bleeds, (in which case recommend stepping back from the wall "just a little" :D). Assuming you've gone through all the Grandmaster cartography guide tips already, the best tip I can give is beg / borrow / steal a laptop or set up a second PC beside your GW computer, load up someone else's completed 100% map, maybe turn up the brightness, or contrast on the monitors and just compare screens, look for those tiny inconsistencies, especially the middle of areas, or really dark edges. And persevere. Good luck. --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 08:49, 17 May 2007 (CDT)

Observer mode

 * No, in order to understand the half of it, you'd have to have been on the Vent channel of a Halls winning team before. Spikes are called (if it's a spiking team) about once every 4 secs. Targets are switched just as often. Only one person on the team actually knows what's going on (the caller), the rest just follow along most of the time. If you kill the caller... then it gets really random. And as far as IWAY etc go, it pretty much is random. If you want to understand it, I suggest doing a lot of PuGing in HA. --[[image:rollerzerris.jpg|50x19px]]   22:32, 22 April 2007 (CDT)
