Typical, this is just my luck

gaile turned up just as i left LA, i reckon its a conspiracy.

thanks for the log as usual mal

[doomqueen]

Thx Mal :thumbsup:

[Rex Banner]

Dang, that was quick.

[Aaiiry Astald]

Mal does his best to get the logs up as fast as possible. I do my best, but I am still learning, and snice Mal is around for most of the chats I dont get much practice.

[Fae]

Yay. Thanks Mal :D

And woot for Boat Crew + GWO getting a mention :D

[Erasculio]

Congrats to Mal, the Boat Crew and GWO for being mentioned :smiley: Thanks again, Mal, for the log.

Many nice tibits there. So we will have better control of henchmen on Factions, we will have Guild Storage, they are currently working on reconnections, IWAY WILL BE modified, skill balances will happen on this week. Nice things.

All good things come to those who wait, it would seem...

[heavymetal rules]

as usual mal, awsome work again buddy way to go!!!

[Jodie O]

Guild storage w00t!!
One bit that caught my eye was that the party size will stay 8, but with multiple groups of 8. That sounds like a nightmare, imagine it, say 3 groups of 8 in pve fighting a mission like thunderhead keep...............O.M.G
I also wonder if the world will be more open, ie if you left from cantha by yourself to do some wandering, are you going to encounter other groups out doing a mission or will it stay the same as it is now.
Then I wonder if these 3 group parties will all leave at the same time or will they all go together.
So many questions, so little time.

[Aaiiry Astald]

I got a mention too! I was on Ashlyn at the time. << I am proud of myself!

Unexpected by everyone but you. Good work as usual.

[Jaxx Skraxis]

"As usual" for sure. Thanks for the update Mal, I was in the middle of a mission so was unable to visit LA. Thanks again. :thumbsup:

[Saint Troy]

Nice one Mal, and I see that Gaile has noticed your work too :grin:

[Ju Smurph]

My Gratitude Mal

[ArianceKonress]

Yeah, she said my name! Twice!

[Aaiiry Astald]

For some reason I dont think her saying your name was a good thing.

[Crazy Moo]

ooh she says they are working on reconnections...something im really glad to hear about, because im always a little worried about dc'ing during the middle of the mission, especially since I always have a little problem once in a while with wireless connections.

[TehSuper]

Thanks, yet again.

[killerstick]

Strange I can't seem to see the logs.

Actually, that would probably work well. Consider - you could have one group at each gate, and the third group manning the walls and acting as a reserve. All you need is an additional chat type for allied teams as well as for individual teams. With a little bit of smarts you could even tailor each team for its role.

Getting those 24 people together might be an issue, though.

[Mr Milo]

I'm looking forward to the emblem contest... and dying underwear, yay! Good job Mal!

[CMEPTb]

Ha, seperate teams of 8 sounds fun :grin:. O the possibilities of ambushes and such... You can start playing infantry. A whole frontline of warriors, backed by a second of rangers w/barrage, backed by monks and ritualists and other spell casters ;p. Oop, I left out assassin,...they can take down weak keys from the other team from the sides.



We get to dye underwear? :shocked:

Im going to dye mine black :grin: , :huh: wait, my necro's is alrdy black, nm...

[RedSavior]

*begs for auction house*

Good job, Mal. She even said your name and gave you and GWO recognition. You're a celebrity, lol.

[Lady Rhonwyn]

Just one question: at what time does Gaile usually show up? It seems to me that when I station myself at LA, she only arrives after I've left...

But nice work with the logs!

[freya carmenta]

Ty Mal :)

You must have seen Gaile in LA around 100 times, and I've only seen her once!


Keep up the good work!

There is no set time when she shows up.

In the recent GameStar.de article, there was something about two Faction teams that have to fight a dragon in one of the last PvE Missions (use search to find threads started by me with "Gamestar" in the title)

I think those teams will be auto-assigned like teams in Team Arena. But thats only my guess.

Yeah there won't be a lot of places that happens at, in fact I'd be suprised if there were more than one or two spots for this kind of a fight (but hey, I wouldn't object). That said, planning those teams would be more interesting than auto-assigned, however that might be more likely as right, that kind of planning takes a lot of player resources.

Just it'd be neat to have some 'strike teams' ie 3 groups with different roles
Maybe front liners, artillery, 'engineers' (ritualists and rangers, appropriate spirits) all with support appropriate to their role
Obviously some blending (ie might have some mesmer and ranger 'disablers' along with utility elementalists and necros)

Or maybe the idea more is instead of dealing with huge waves its more 3 team split-off - depends on how they've designed the challenge. I suppose if they went the distance there even might be such differentiation.

One issue against the '3 line pile up' is that the group getting the kills is getting the loot... might be more likely there is some split-up until some kind of final challenge at the end (ie then the dragon and it has exp/drop(s)/reward for every group involved)

[Salt George]

Maybe I've missed something in a thread (tragically time and playing GW get in the way of reading everything posted), but several times Gaile specifically refers to Clvl 20 as the level cap in Factions. She does this often enough to be deliberate. If this can be assumed to be Cantha Level 20, does this mean that, to date, we have all been reaching Tlvl 20???

If this has come up before, could someone kindly point me to the right thread, ty.

[CKaz]

Huh? Clvl20 is just character level 20...
I assume you thought it was Cantha vs Tyria?

[Salt George]

My silly question. Thanks for the answer.. .

[ElvishCannon]

Thanks Mal and big ups for you being mentioned. GJ man.

-Elvish Cannon

[Tazaki Tsurigi]

Thanks for another great log. Just curious but around what time is it that Gaile or the Frog usually show up? I live in central time zone and never seem to catch them myself. I know theres no set time that either show just wondering if theres a trend, like late at night or anything like that.

[JohnK]

I hope this question isn't too stupid, but how do I view the full sized jpeg of the chat? When I click on a link, I get a 1-4 kb scaled-down version.

Thanks,

John

[LordShadowblight]

Once again I could not make it into Int Dis1 when Gaile came.... even dis 2 filled up with every one trying to get in to dis 1. So that is why I would like to thank Mal again and the boat crew for puting the logs together for us.

[Aaiiry Astald]

Sometimes there is a trend to her showing up. But that isnt always true. I would say she shows up around the time she is about to leave work, but I am bad with time and couldnt give an exact time to that. But I would say 5-8 PST? Thats my best guess.

If you look at when the logs get posted here and take away 30mins to a number of hours depending on how long the visit was, thats when she showed up in LA.
