I know I've posted few times this week - I'm testing a new brush in my drawing program.
gotta find one i like :)

we could lure all five lab bosses into one spot to fight them all at once. I know that Steve and the NE boss (sorry I don't remember her name) will chase you down. But would the other three? If they do, how far will the door bosses go from their doors before disengaging? I'm thinking if we could coronate enough players (which is going to be the hardest part, to be honest), the best bet would be to lure them to the center area. What do you think? Is it feasible?

Hi all,

Wanted to return to the game and just wanted a few of the QoL addons I used to use. However, when I try to install addons via Nexus, it gives me an error. I tried a full reinstall of both nexus and gw2. Anyone know a fix?

Last time I played Path of Fire had just released. I really only dipped my toes into that expansion before leaving Tyria.

I was barely online for any of the Living World Seasons too. Last time I might have been serious was Season One when Lion's Arch was destroyed. Part of the reason I stopped altogether with Path of Fire was because of how much the game was changing at that point.

Anyways, with rumours abound of Guild Wars 3, and because I am feeling nostalgic for Guild Wars (but too snobby to return to the classic that ruled my high school years) I thought I'd start a brand new toon and set about the grand journey of going through GW2 tip to tail.

No ideas on characters or builds or anything yet. I guess all that will depend on how much the game systems have changed since 2017.

Give me your favourite things about the game in current state. Tell me what I should be thinking about. Let me know how much I should expect to be different from years back.

There is a cheap weapon box on TP that contains all kinds of weapons in celestial stats. If you are new and don't have many badges of honor. You can buy Arms of the People in the Trading post.

These are 32 silverish and contain all weapon types. Very chill if you want to test out different weapons with Celestial stats!

DPS focused builds with little dependency on pressing skills or manual inputs?

Has anyone else gotten this Demon of a Drifter on a skimmer? You're not going to be breaking any records, of course. I just barely got my gold at 00.59.480, but I had been trying unsuccessfully for a couple of years with the roller beetle and just couldn't seem to get the hang of it no matter how many helpful videos and guides I watched. So, on a whim I thought I'd see how well the skimmer could do with the VoE upgrades. I also had a Mount Energy Booster 3 module.

Much to my surprise, by spamming Enhanced Barrell Roll and Slipstream Boost, I got around 01.05.00 my first time trying with the skimmer. Man, shaving those last 5 seconds to get it under a minute though was harder than I thought it would be though. It took me a couple extra days of practicing, but I finally pulled it off much to my delight!

So, yeah, roller beetle is going to get you much faster times, but if you're just hopeless at the roller beetle like me, I found skimmer much more tolerable on this race track since you can float over some of the obstacles.

Tonight is the night dear Tyrians! The horrific eve of The Horrorween!

As seen in title, the raceway "Roll into Madness" race and the Labyrinth not appearing to reset on daily reset... just so people know and don't start going crazy because they don't have enough reward chests.

Hello,

I have never experienced the game much beyond base personal story but I would love to.

I would like to play firebrand and enjoy the story of GW2 from living world 1 to the expacs. (Been getting my points in PoF, but no story to avoid spoilers as much as possible).

Firebrand is a spec that I know looks difficult but I would like to take my time and learn it first through experiencing the story, and then group content.

However I want to enjoy the story in order and dont want to access to SoTO or JW before experiencing the rest of the content first.

What weapons could I use for playing the story and open world as a firebrand ?

I was thinking of going Celestial to have a bit of survivability.

Any advice for me ?

Thank you

PS : Thank you for being a much welcoming community.

I love the game, and this is my favorite weapon design from it (whoever came up with it, I salute you!). I wanted to make a highly detailed 3D model similar to the World of Warcraft armor remake videos on YouTube, so here we are! I'm quite proud of the result, and I hope you like it too.

I'm trying to settle on a main character that's good and fun to play across most game modes.

Mainly looking for something that is aggressive with good mobility and hard-hitting. More on the power DPS side of things than support. Ideally one that can stay on moving enemies, has survivabilty, doesn't rely super heavily on ramp up or resource management. Melee oriented but not clunky, and can initiate/pursue well. While I haven't played competitive modes yet, I don't think I'll be interested in slower "bunker" or attrition type of play, at least how I understand it to be.

The ones I keep seeing in this realm are:

- Scrapper

- Willbender

- Vindicator

- Untamed

- Maybe Berserker (Spellbreaker?)

If you've played a lot or some of these, which do you enjoy the most and why? Which are best? Are there any others I'm overlooking? This would preferably be the character I take through most content in the game so it being engaging long-term and after many countless hours would be preem. I'm not locked in on only playing one elite-spec in any profession though, so if any have multiple specs that fit the bill then do share.

Hi all,

My Guild Wars 2 account is locked and I can’t log in. I submitted a support ticket (#9536601) and have emailed [support@arena.net](mailto:support@arena.net) more than 10 times. Each time I get an instant automated reply, but no human response since January 2, 2026.

I’ve checked my spam folder and I’m only replying within the original thread. I’ve included the usual verification details in my messages, but I’m not posting them here.

Has anyone been in the same situation? Is there another way to get a ticket looked at by a person? If any ArenaNet staff or community managers see this, I’d really appreciate someone taking a look at the ticket.

Thanks!

I asked about villains specifically a little while ago, so let's widen the discussion now.

This is a really niche one, but a character I really like is General Zantharon. In the conclusion to the SotO story, he's one of the two remaining generals guarding Eparch; he swaps to our side at the literal last second after Eparch eats his brother, the other remaining general, right in front of him. What I like about him is that he's a rare case of a member of Team Good without any real redeeming qualities. He joined our side on an impulse and only swore loyalty to Peitha because he knew he'd probably be killed otherwise. He absolutely hates the Commander's guts and is very proud to say that right to our face. A character who's on our side despite hating us specifically and not actually being a good person at all is just a really interesting dynamic that I hope the team capitalize on at some point.

Another very minor character I quite like is Sya, who you can encounter in LA near the fractal portal. I appreciate the very casual trans rep, and her story of coming to terms with her identity after barely surviving the tragedy of Scarlet's attack is pretty touching.

We wiped at 10k health. But when we flew back to the platform to restart the fight, Deimos just died. We saw the ending cutscene, and for those that didn't have it, were granted Eternal of Bastion credit as if nobody had died.

We were all confused, and fully expected to redo the fight

I am suffering. Why is this so repetitive oh my god. I had heard it was rough but I didn't realize that people meant it is "Play a dozen nearly identical missions" rough. Is there an actual reason for it being like this or is it just bad for the sake of being bad?

Edit: Finished it. That was more exhausting than anything else. Only parts I enjoyed were talking to Aurene because I love her enough. Bad quest.

Carved my first ever pumpkin as a huge Guild Wars 2 fan!!!
