Tyrian Happenings

Timbers are shivered,
Chumbuckets dumped,
Threats are delivered,
Bilgewater pumped,
Grog has been drunk,
Hulls have been tarred,
Treasure's now sunk
By the northern—aaarrrr!

Seems like the skill updates are not this week either. Oh well, happy grog farming.

They also forgot to fix the goddamn turtle bugs in FA. Just remove the collision between Luxon Warriors and turtles. Thanks.

I'll say it for everyone: Dervish wont be getting any skill changes until the next GW2 book comes out.

That time to raise your beer
Grant hugs to everyone
Speak up so all can hear
Taste the whiskey and the rum!
Grab your stash and drink away
Don't forget the pay the tabs
No man shall be sober today
Make sure you watch for crabs.

Probably not as good, but yeah.

Great update, it makes my client crash......

TheodenKing · Sep 16, 2010, 10:02 PM // 22:02

Tap yer keg and have a taste.
Grab yer wench around the waist.
Pick her up above yer head,
and pay no heed to what she said.
For a pirate does what whims do urge,
So bottoms up! until you purge.

Skye Marin · Sep 16, 2010, 10:09 PM // 22:09

Avast me hearties
How be yea?
Drink your grog
from sea to sea
I'd be more drunk
with better distills
me bottle be weak
like Dervish skills

You're welcome.

Is it time for Anet management to walk the plank for sending the live team out to promote GW2, rather than working on GW1?

Ayuhmii Shanbwa · Sep 16, 2010, 11:12 PM // 23:12

when the update came, a friend copied those lines to me, and i was like: wtf??
so thats all.... do they make this a huge event this time?
to think that kids play gw, bad to make an alcoholic event bigger than just drops
or is it more? we'll see at the next update of gw

[joke]are they finally going to add the dragonballs, so we can wish for a better game?[/joke]
that was a joke.... or was it?? and if so, which part was the joke??

anyway, i hope to see something nice when i wake up (its 1:05 AM here)
i dont know what to make of it, just a text wont be a good update, so it must be more

i dont really care about dervs tbh, but i'd like to see something nice, at least, something what makes enough people happy

nice text all, btw

ps. the first thing what i thought when i read the text, was about that pirate song i heard once

Maybe Anet have been captured by pirates, and thats the reason that we're not getting any updates? Positive thinking!

thought that the weekend events were supposed to all be automated now??? seems like they are less automated now than before they were not at all

anyways...still need a few more drinks for my poor monk (he will be getting his booty to an AA meeting sometime soon---) so hope a few drop for me this weekend.

I'll start bothering with grog when the Dev team starts bothering to change the Drunkard title. Anyways, there will be another game that I plan on paying attention to this weekend.

Yarr Harr, fiddle dee dee!

I was really considering posting this in my reply.... But in the end I just couldn't bring myself to submitting anyone to this type of inane torture.

So an optimist might think the reference to the North and treaure might indicate the EotN and the Hall of Monuments (maybe some kind of info?) but it seems like a big stretch.

Maybe this year they are going to make the pirate event a bit more of... well an event. John Stumme did express an interest in Tyria having more events outside of the traditional real world ones (even though the pirate thing is tied to a real world parallel, it's not on the level of Christmas, Halloween etc).

I'm not an optimist so I expect this is the Live Team's cruel way of letting us know the pirate weekend is about to start. They might think it's creative but they should also know it gets people's hopes up.

Same , but there are enough people who maxed it yet and are willing to max it the way you have to deal , thus it's almost impossible that the title gets any update ...

After reading the little ditty, I was thinking it was alluding to a little treasure hunt.....

....there is also that Keirnan thing going on....!

The Corsairs took Lt Thackery hostage for ransom off the coast of Tyria! But then the ebon vanguard snipers Boom! Headshot! the pirates, and now Thackery has a map of buried treasure that leads to Ebonhawke!
