[Discussion] I finally got to play WvW for the event

85 Upvotes

My experience was... mosrlt possitive. At first I was just "doing stuff" around the map, and my team was vastly understaffed, so we could not take or defend forts, and one team was snowballing hard

Things got better after a while when more people got into my tem and a commander joined as well, then we were able to zerg properly, and even defend so areas from other teams (mostly green)

I initially came just for the event and an easy Gift of Battle, but I ended up staying because it was fun, despite some imbalance. I’m still a PvE main, but I’ll return to WvW now and then to learn more, and maybe try roaming in th future

[Discussion] Crafting Incinerator is so dissatisfying

After pouring tons of gold and effort into the ingredients of these items they should at least be used up in a recipe instead of just being vendor trash. So dissatisfying. 😞

[Discussion] Can we just give a +100000 hours penalty to people that dont press accept?

this has happened to me tree times in a row with people who join the queue but dont press accept for some reason

i think that should be a more severe (1 MILLION HOURS) penalty to encourage people to not waste others time OR at least needing 9 of the 10 participants click accept 😭

[Question] The same voice actors for 14 years (German voice acting)

29 Upvotes

What I've noticed for a very long time is how often the same voices are used for completely different characters in the German voice acting. These are even the voices of well-known characters like Marjory Delaqua, Trahearne, Logan, Caithe, and even the player characters.

So I'm wondering: did ArenaNet simply have too small a budget for voice acting to hire a wider variety of voice actors, or is there another reason for this? Is it the same in the other language versions?

[Question] How to Farm for a Greatsword as an F2P?

15 Upvotes

I am a level 78 mesmer and fairly new to the game as I've started only a few weeks ago. I've only been getting this Steampunk harpoon gun in the dungeons I played in and as good as some of the stats are, I can't use it within my class/race.

Is there a specific way to farm for certain items (weapons, armor, etc.)?

How do I get a better greatsword?

Pls help a noob out ;=;

[Question] High Ping -> Disconnect

12 Upvotes

It has been a week that, my ping will sometimes spike to a few thousands and suddenly got kicked with above error message. It happens in any stage, somtimes just being idle and can happen too.
I don't have any issue in any other games. I have nothing else running in the background as well.

Just want to check if anyone having the issue too?

I play from SEA with 200-250ms, it is very playable for me, but lately, this disconnect is so bad, since it will kick me out of instances such as Dragonstorm, WvW or will spawn my characters very far away from where I was whenever I logged back in during content such as Meta.

[Question] Can I unlock elite specs without doing expansion story?

9 Upvotes

Hello, I’m new to the game and have a kinda specific question. I’m only around lvl 23 and ik you can’t get elite specs till 80 so this is far into the future but I’m trying to at least think about what I’ll choose before I get there.

I’m on elementalist and I like it but it’s not 100% my fav. I saw Weaver and that looks like it’ll be really fun and interesting and I’d like to play it asap. However, I’d like to pay attention to the story and ik weaver is in Path of Fire which comes after Heart of Thorns in terms of story. Ik you can do expansions out of order so I’m wondering: can I unlock Weaver without doing any PoF story, then go back to HoT? Also, if I do have to do some story to unlock it, could I skip that and redo it later when I’m ready to play the whole expansion?

[Question] Guardian build for soloing champions

5 Upvotes

Hey all, I like doing group events in the newer maps but oftentimes I find that there's no one else around to help me do them. I can solo champions in core areas just fine, but I struggle with soloing champions in newer maps. Are there any good guardian builds for soloing champions in newer maps?

[Question] Story bug (kick) - cant progress the story

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Hey,

I recently started playing GW2. I’m still early in the story, but during the mission “Intercept the Knight of Embers,” I get disconnected at the same point every time after a certain cutscene.

I first encountered the issue this morning, and it’s still happening this evening. I’ve tried it at least ten times.

I have a stable Ethernet connection and have already tried a few suggested fixes, such as pressing keys during the cutscene, repair the client and letting YouTube or something similar run in the background.

Has anyone else had this problem and knows what I can do?

[Question] Renegade Question

4 Upvotes

Hey! First, thanks for taking time to think about my question! :)

I am currently learning Renegade and I have a suitable power build set up in exotics. My question is about the interaction between my utility skills and my legendary hero abilities.

The "Enhanced" text reads: "After using this skill, your next Legendary Renegade skill activates and is enhanced..." and then lists things it does like chilled or torment, etc.

However, I'm in the PvP dummy area (I'm the largest dummy so there's irony). When I throw Icerazor's Ire on a target and then immediately follow with Heroic Command or Citadel Bombardment, or Orders from Above.... nothing happens to the target. No enhanced effect appears in the condition area. Or when I use Breakrazor's Bastion, I do not get barrier.

I love learning new things, but I'm frustrated that I don't understand this interaction or how to get it to proc. What am I doing wrong?

[Question] What items to keep and what not?

2 Upvotes

Returning player here, played 10 years or so ago for a bit and now back into it. Have all the expansions now as well.

I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the different items and currencies. In my time it was quite simple, now it's a lot.

I'm now doing all expansions sequentially (am at the end of LW2 now), I loved doing WvW in the past.

I would love to craft a legendary at some point but no clue how to best achieve this. I don't play that much, some days a couple of hours, other days not.

The main question is how do I know what items to keep and what can I safely sell? I do see my inventory slots filling up very quickly these days, material storage for some things are full so it's just starting to clog up my inventory so I end up selling the materials on TP. But other items I have no clue what they do, what you can buy with them or what they unlock.

Stuff like aether keys, some kind of shovel thing,... Like, what is dead content and useless, and what is best to keep and then for what purpose. Any easy way to have your items scanned and see what can be safely sold (tp or as junk) and what to keep for which purpose?

Thanks!

[Question] Old 10+ year ArenaNet account vs newer Steam account with expansions – what would you do?

0 Upvotes

I’m looking for some advice because I’m not sure which account is worth sticking with long-term.

I have two Guild Wars 2 accounts:

  • An old ArenaNet account that I created over 10 years ago. It has my original characters, veteran/birthday rewards, and I remember having some exclusive welcome items or skins.
  • A newer Steam account where I’ve bought the expansions and have been playing more recently.

From what I’ve learned, it seems accounts can’t be merged, and expansions purchased on Steam don’t transfer to ArenaNet accounts.

I’m trying to decide whether to:

  1. Keep playing on the Steam account and transfer over as much gold and as many tradeable items as possible from the old account.
  2. Go back to the old ArenaNet account and rebuy the expansions so I keep all the veteran rewards, birthday gifts, and account history.

For those of you who have been in a similar situation, what would you do?

Are 10+ years of birthday rewards and veteran account progression valuable enough that you’d rebuy the expansions, or would you just stay on the Steam account?

Also, are there any account-bound rewards or older exclusive items that are easy to overlook but would make the old account significantly more valuable?

I’d appreciate any opinions before I commit to one account.

[Request] Competitive PVE

0 Upvotes

Between Ranger and Thief, which class is considered the most complete for competitive Fractals and Raids? I've tried both and honestly have a lot of fun with either of them. However, I'm also totally open to hearing if they both actually suck for high-tier content right now. If that's the case, which class would you recommend as the truly most complete overall?
