I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Really enjoyed this podcast guys!
I absolutely loved Steven’s singing about the running backpack… I’m going to have a tough time getting that out of my head!!
:’)
“The Sylvari are a metaphor”
Has someone been taking an art appreciation course?
Life is like a box of chocolates… or is that a simile?
The guest system was in this event & it was incredibly easy to use. I was on the Tarnished Coast server & I invited my friend on the Isle of Janthir server to my party. After that he used the “join in” function by right clicking my character portrait and he joined my server. After that we met up at a way point (you can link way points in chat using ctrl).
Oh wow, didn’t know it works that way! Great find!

I am so glad you guys brought up the thing with not getting event credit when resurrecting. I love to resurrect people and I’d often get less than gold even when I was at the event from start to finish and contributing. It’s definitely something that needs to be fixed.
Yea that’s definitely important!

I really want to know what would happen if you used a Ressurection Orb under Rata Sum after hitting the ground dead.
