Nudist Progression

[Lurker Wyrm]

I'm interpreting your post to mean that you want critical feedback

That's a correct interpretation.

I'd say the major thing is to Beware the Shifting POV (Point of View). The way you've written it, we see things from nearly all of the characters' POVs, and that makes it a bit hard for the reader to identify with the "main character."

To be honest, that's what I was going for. I was trying to write similarly to Herman Melville's Moby Dick, which had a non-stationary PoV. While I understand that it can make the writing harder to follow, it allows for a more psychological read, as you can see the inner monologues of more than just the main character, which, in part, is good for the nudists as there really is no main character but rather an ensemble. Don't worry though, next time I do a journal, I'll be trying someone else's style out, though I haven't quite decided who. Maybe Milton...? It would certainly be interesting to model after Paradise Lost. Hemingway is another possibility.

PS: I moved the entry to under the Nude Beach category, where the Nudist Journal resides

Hmm... I guess I missed that option in the mass-scroll dropdown, I'll have to look more carefully next time.

Note to Seijin and Drasca: We can get you to Yak's if you guys can make it earlier tonite.
Having the only 2 primary monks lag behind is not a good thing ;p

Wont make it on tonight, sorry. Got some christmas shopping to do and such. Good luck on the game tonight.

I'm going to be late tonight, probably on around 9:30 or so and hopefully no later than that.

Sorry in advance for posting another instead of just editing.

So, I'm a little unhappy with the way Angela Adams is turning out. I'm not really seeing any point to having elementalist primary since unless I'm bad with pacing my spells energy isn't a problem. Also, I'm not an elementalist, it just doesn't suit my playstyle.

I don't think we've passed any "points of no return" yet (if we were in Maguuma already, then we probably would have), so I don't think there's anything I can't get done in a couple days.

There are a few reasons I want to change:
1. There's a lot more that I want to try (outside nudists) using a mesmer primary than with an elementalist primary (really, the only things I wanted to try using ele primary were the Ether Renewal/smiting tricks that have since been nerfed). From a massive IW to toying with extreme amounts of fast casting, and lets not forget the Me/N fargility combo. That's part of the downside to having only 4 chars per account.
2. We've got enough elementalists on the team already.
3. We don't have any warriors at all. I know they're not really that important, but they do have some skills that will be really useful (Bonetti's, Charge!, Sever/Gash or the axe deep wound skills, etc.) and I can't help but think it would really be useful having at least one around.
4. I want the axe from the "Scavengers in Old Ascalon" quest. Yeah, this one of the lesser reasons for deleting a char, but if you've been reading GWGuru, you know why I want the thing.

Try this for size: Me/N, Dom/Fast Cast/Curses. Domination and Curses seem to work together quite well. I'm pretty happy with how Lorna Skeyl is working out along that path.

Having only 20 energy and 2 regen WILL be a problem later if you plan to play a nuker. Not that we need or not need another nuker in the team (we just don't know yet), but, if playing an elementalist is not you cup of tea it makes no sense to force you into the role. I have no problem, at this point, if you want to remake your nudist.

It will be good to have a damage sponge if you are looking to go with warrior

And, if anyone wants to join up with the nudist, it is still not to late, but the opportunity will pass soon.

Btw, we are allowed only non magical weapons. The axe you mentioned has 2 mods on it, not to mention it is bugged. Personally, I would not bother with such items cause they might just get fixed.

Oh, while we are on the subject... I would like to remind everyone bow are not legal weapons for non rangers, and only a warrior class can use melee weapons.

Catch you later

Only non-magical weapons, or only starter weapons?!?

My E/R would love to upgrade to a better non-magical weapon...

Heh, the only reason I wanted that axe was to shove to +% enchant upgrades on it for Remy. Shield of Judgement would last forever with that thing on. Doesn't matter now anyways, the weapon got fixed in record setting patch time.

So that means that the axe I got before the update yesterday that I haven't got around to selling yet is one of the final few bugged axes in the game to be awarded?

Interesting. I think I'll keep it, vanilla, never to be used, next to my second pumpkin crown. It'll be neat bragging rights.

Edit: Seems like all axes have been fixed, unless of course you exploited a trading snafu to keep the axe. Still gonna keep the damn thing, purely on the basis that "this very axe was bugged, and now isn't."

Doesn't have any collectability value to the masses, but it does to me.
