Why I've been inactive on twitter and my blog

I'm entering TK and Baumers Guild Wars Mini Series Trailer Competition. Learning Sony Vegas for the first time is a challenge, and I'm trying to enter before the deadline in May 31st.

Even though I probably won't do well, at least I'll learn how to use Sony Vegas and have some fun at the same time ^_^.

Krazy Kat's group won the Hall Of Heroes last night!

Yesterday, I formed a group using a custom version of the popular "IWAY" group and won the Hall of Heroes with it. The funny part is that the group wasn't that coordinated, but we had an unbelievable string of good luck.

Many of the team members weren't that experienced (it was a r3+ group, although I also had a r7 and a r9 with me). However, we either ran into bad teams such as randomway, bad dervish bomb hexways (very strange build indeed), and even ran into a team where 3 of their team members disconnected and were forced to resign.

Eventually we had a run where, we fought in the Hall Of Heroes after our first match in Underworld. The Hall of Heroes objective at the time was relic running. Strangely, our team had more coordination here than the previous matches we were in... although we had some issues (such as our PnH monk using Make Haste on the runners going back and not the actual person carrying the relic). However, the warriors were right on in interrupting snarers and bodyblocking enemy relic runners. Being the R/E, I snared enemy runners by placing Wards Against Foes in strategic locations and by using Grasping Earth. All in all, we managed to secure a victory in the Hall of Heroes and keep the favor of the gods for Ameri... I mean Krazy Kat =P. (Favor was like... 2 years ago XD)

However, it didn't show up under my name though since a warrior was on the numer one spot and not me :P. It's been a while since one of my own groups won HoH... and it feels good :)

The Early Kat Years 18: Hydra Farming

Back in the day, Hydra farming was very profitable. They are easy to locate and plentiful outside of Augury rock. Dessicated Hydra Claws and gold weapons were the items that they were sought after. I used a riposte, gladiator's defense build to farm them initially but then let Ken The Eviscerator handle them as a 55 necro. Sephi (one of my old time friends) also made some YouTube videos of farming hydras, which you can see below.

Is Anet banning players who provide fame farming services for in-game money without warning?

According to this post at Guild Wars Guru, Anet has banned a player for "offering illegal fame-farming services". In response, that player replied that Anet wrongly banned him for something not stated on the EULA.

GuildWars.com: Support: Legal


What do you guys think? Is providing fame farming services for in-game money a bannable offense?

The Early Kat Years 17: Mo/R Southern Shiverpeaks Runner

During my early years, I always wanted to join the LBSRA: Lady Blue Steel's Running Academy. They were a prominent guild that invited students into their academy for a mere price of only.... 100K+45 ectos!

At the academy, they would teach you to be the best of the best, and eventually graduate after passing a series of tests (like running Droknar's Forge without dying).

However, the admission price was high and I did not have the money to pay. I also did not like the idea of abandoning my guild in order to join theirs (I was the guild leader of ARRR at the time). The next closest thing I could do was to learn how to run a different area that many people required (Marhan's Grotto) from one of LBSRA's graduates. I bought a series of videos from one of their graduates for around 20E and started to teach myself.

A similar build can be found on PvXwiki: Mo/R Shiverpeaks Runner
This build however was not the same. Watchful Spirit was Mending, Natural Stride was Dodge, and Mending Touch was Purge Conditions.

I made a new monk specifically for this run and named him Grand Master Yang. In around a day of loading the build I was able to do the run back and forth without problems. Within a week I was able to recover all the money I spent for those videos plus more!

Rydia: Before and After

I got FoW Armor on Rydia today! Yay! Here's a comparison of what it would have looked like before and how Rydia currently looks like right now. The dye color is green+green+green+silver. The boots are green+green+blue+blue.

Rydia's Makeover

And the result is....



I took another look at alternative 3 but I didn't like how it looked from the back. I went with alternative 1 but changed the hairstyle a little bit since it's rare to see a Canthan face with colored hair ^.^.
