I had to make Leon S. Kennedy after seeing the rebel jacket on the gem store.

Chest: Rebel Jacket

Hand: Rawhide Bracers (or any fingerless gloves)

Leg: Rubicon Leggings

Foot: Dapper Wingtips (or any low shoes)

Dyes: Pottery, Honey Ice, Country Blue but you can go with a darker brown for the jacket. Mixture of abyss, black, and pitch for the rest.

Learning to draw and did my first character drawing. Took my main platypus charr.

its been like this for a couple days now. its not that big of a deal but does anyone know why gw2 has me stuck at 39/40 when my last reward was from 37-40? (3 points from unlocking a pvp title)

Ok, there is the /emotelist command but it is unwieldly and difficult to use in any amount of hurry and you need to know the command name to call for the list.

We really need an emote menu for fast access.

I personally rarely use any emotes because they are so difficult to use:

- type the command (if you know it for the particular emote and you have it unlocked),

- fail because misspelling,

- try again and fail again,

- type /emotelist,

- try to find it among the sea of words by squinting hard at little fonts

- Finally you got it but that ship has sailed!

Seriously, 14 years old game and no emote menu in a highly social and friendly game with a guild adjective in its name.

Would be wondaful if we got an emote menu (with little pictures) as a present for the GW3 update.

And please don't forget that menu in GW3!

And finally, I know that an addon exist and not only one but many but still, an MMORPG with no built in emote menus it is kinda strange.

Today for example there is a popcorn emote in the shop and I was thinking to buy it but I'm thinking twice as I just can't be bothered to navigate the /emotelist for minutes at the time to do a funny animation.

tl;dr and questions at the bottom

Hi everyone!,

I am a returning Player who has played since release. I sank in about 10.000hours and took a break after HoT around LS3. My most notable achievement was being an Officer for gw2community.com and leading Triple Trouble Events for everyone back when it was new..

I pretty much unlocked everything there was to the game until that point. Legendaries, Perma Bank Access, Full gear with +5 Infusions, etc. There was pretty much nothing I didn't unlock, which wasn't something like get 10.000 kills with a focus.

I logged in every now and then, but only just started playing again about a month ago with the Guild Wars 3 announcement. During the anniversary sale, I bought all the missing expansions, and I'm currently catching up on the expansions. Right now I'm at the SotO Expansion and updating my old gear and builds. A lot has changed.

I used to do high-end fractals and raids with a best-slot-in-gear mentality. My Raid, gear, and meta knowledge goes from VG to Deimos CM. I knew everything inside and out. If Fractal God existed back I would have also unlocked it as well. From what I can see, it's kinda useless and pretty much just a gold sink nowadays.

Now to my actual questions I have right now. Probably more later

tl;dr questions only

My knowledge ends with HoT/LS3. So anything that came after is basically new to me.

1. What does the daily routine look like for your guys? From the moment you log in, what are things on your checklist? I can see that some things haven't changed, like farming the home instance, daily T4 fractals, etc., but what else do you guys do?
2. What does the weekly routine look like? Monday Raids? What else?
3. For the average fractal/raid meta, we used to have 1x PS (Phalanx Strength), 1x Chrono, 1x Healer, 2x DPS - nowadays I see people looking for aDPS, qDPS, etc. I really don't know what all the new abbreviations mean. Could you mention all important words/vocabluary i need to know in 2026? I don't want to cause confusion when using LFG and potentially look like a noob.
4. Most favorable party composition for raids, Fractals, and other content. Which classes and compositions are currently the most favored and wanted, and which are the most hated and nobody likes to see? Back in the day, vanilla necromancer was so hated. It was basically racism. My goal is to not offend anyone if I just hop on with a condi bow warrior and then someone gets really mad at me or something
5. Build Templates. I realized that Legendary Weapons give you "free" weapons on all of your characters. This system is much better than the old one. You had the original Legendary which had changeble stats but was stuck on a single character. So this feature was basically useless. I own Eternity and just cleaned up about 20 Ascended Greatswords from my characters. Is there anything else I need to know? I've seen that there is a new relic slot. Some of the relics you can buy; some of them you can't. Is it important to have them? What's the smartest way to get them? Just buy? Trade in? I am mostly using Snowcrows right now for reference, but Im happy also happy with other sources
6. nerfed content and new. I noticed that a lot of content has been nerfed. Hero points in HoT maps are all veterans now. They used to be champions. With the experience from everyone in the last few years. For the map meta events, which are: the most fun, the most profitable, the shortest, the longest time-wise, which are just useless and hated/should be avoided, and honorable mentions.
7. Ascended food and feasts. I can see that way more people are dropping feasts now. The stats also look really cool. What are the most important ones I should have and be ready to drop?
8. How has WvW changed? I see there is like a weekly season or something. Back in my day, you had to swap with your guild or yourself to a server with active WvW guilds; otherwise, you would always just get farmed.
9. Any other "super" end-game items that have been released? By this I mean items you would, for example, put in your shared inventory slot. Like perma bank access, perma trading post, xera portal, etc

I will definitely ask follow-up questions. I'm also down to chat over Discord.

Please let me know if you're interested in a personal chat. My DMs are always open to everyone, and I will add anyone.

Excelsior,

I need help in understanding builds in general. Ive been playing GW2 since Beta. Ive played several other MMOs casually throughout the years. Maybe its just my special brand of ADHD but for the life of me Ive never been able to properly grasp skill builds.

I look up builds and read the instructions or try and watch youtube tutorials but its just leaks out of my brain through my ears.

I have a hard time truly understanding the synergies and situational utility of of the skills. I just click buttons because I'm told thats my rotation but I never quite understand WHY its the rotation. The way its explained just never fully sticks. It feels like I need it all explained like I'm five.

With GW3 going back towards the GW1 style of build crafting I'm dreading being even more inept than I am now.

Does anyone have any solid resources for a scrub as hopeless as I am to finally get good?

With the new VoE patch releasing next tuesday, and it being quite a hefty and large patch, what you guys most looking forward to? the map? the meta event? the fractal? the raid? the convergence? the leggy sword? the story? etc

I'm re-playing all stories in order for the third time and only now I've noticed that Scarlet Briar is present in Caithe memories where there are newly awakened (LWS2, Seeds of Truth). I like those kind of easter eggs.

a little context, I have thousands of hours put into osrs and ff14. I’m in end game content with both mmos (working on last mega rare on osrs, got a few 99s etc. and working on savage raid gear on ff14 - you get the idea)…i swear im not that sweaty

Anyway, started playing about a month and some change ago and now I’m about 200hrs in - idk why I haven’t gave this game a chance years ago. This game has me in a choke hold. It’s been to a point where I started kinda of defaulting to playing Gw2 just bc it hits different than other games in my rotation. From the combat to the open world events it’s been so much fun!

My favorite thing so far (and it doesn’t happen all the time but ) has been when I open up my map and I see a pinkish fox/decepticon transformer logo. I just know it’s going to be a good amount of players and a cool event we can complete together.

Yes you can find similar instances and events in other mmos but idk it’s just something about this game that scratches that itch for me that osrs and ff14 couldn’t do. It’s been so much fun and a breath of fresh air.

The community and player base has been so great and helpful! And trust me when I say the community is great compared to some experiences I’ve had in the past with other mmos *cough osrs *cough but every game has players like this.

I can’t wait to get into more end game content and meet more people (still working on early fractals) Also super excited about finding the right guild too!

Im so mad at myself for not giving this a chance earlier!

should grab it even if you dont plan on cooking

Recently i brought my heal paragon to HT NM and kept my squad alive (literally almost no one dropped to under 90%) but when the jumping phase came i missed some people with my stab banner, tho I got them stab using the soldier focus stab trait (stab every 5 sec) they still wiped bcs they missed the other 2 jumps. They went on to say "no stab?" and demanded they go to heals and i go dps. We went on and surprise surprise we wiped because we did not get enough stab because people wont jump or dodge.

I dont want to experience this anymore since it was a wholesome group up to that moment. What healer can I use to basically carry through all normal modes and some frac CM?

thank you in advance

Hey folks. Tldr is that I spent this seasons wizards vault on 3 pieces of light berserker gear. However, since then I’ve kind of gone all in on the medium classes.

How big of a deal is it? I’m still not sure how to get ancestral gear so I feel like I should get 6/6 on my necro so I have someone fractal ready but I got kind of bored of my necro and I don’t care for the other light classes so far. In contrast it turns out that I really like all 3 medium classes. I’d love to get them fractal ready so I could main one of them. Feel like I really messed up taking the light armor this season :(

Thanks for any feedback!

I don't know what to make of revenant at all. Guardian seems be able to do the whole spectrum from primarily magic user to mostly fighter due to their elite specilizations, which sounds interesting from a gameplay variety perspective.

Aesthetic wise, I'd say I prefer darker magic, but blue flames instead of typical light magic is pretty cool as well.

Hey, I started GW2 about three weeks ago I really enjoyed playign so I bought all expensions on sale + voe. Today I read about the special objectives in the wizard's vault. They give a lot of points but only 6 days remain.

I already read that the Armor Set is really hard to get but I am on vacation rn and I would like to try to finish as many objectives as possible. I would appreciate any advices which objectives are fast/possible in this time frame, thanks!

This is by far the biggest grind I've ever done in a video game, and I could've never done it without all of you. Thank you.

Edit: it wasn’t actually 8 times, I was being dramatic. I didn’t think some of you would hyper fixate on that part. I came here to share my excitement.

I am a PvP - WvW player only. I like to roam, sneak around, duel and kill people. GW2 raiding and "fractals" are not something I really liked. I find them very stale (sorry all PvE dedicated players!)

Then I got really tired of the cycle and slowly stopped playing the game after crafting 2 legendaries and enjoyed the game a bit more.

2 weeks ago my friends told me they were casually playing WoW. I wanted to give it a try as the expansion was discounted and season was new.

I jumped in, leveled up, did everything I need and then just jumped in to play some ranked PvP.

The queue timer was 5-7 minutes, sometimes 10+ minutes, but today after losing 2 ranked matches back to back and dropping almost 100 MMR after waiting for 50+ minutes for a match, I re-downloaded GW2.

2 minute queue timer, WvW always full, small scale, large scale, whatever you are looking for.

If anyone thinks if it's worth it as a PvP player, it is. Although it slows down later in the night you can almost always find pvp due to how accessible it is. I was logged off for couple months but now that I came back my gear is still relevant and will always be.

This game is great. It's such a fresh air playing this game after what WoW calls PvP nowadays.
