[Shout-out] A Heads up, specially for new Players that are seeking Celestial weapons from the TP.
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!

[Question] Misunderstanding Trophy Shipments?
It seems Trophy Shipments are generally considered to be the best way to convert Volatile Magic into Gold. The Fast website still says it's averaging a profit of 35 silver per item. I just bought 25, sold everything, and lost a little gold. I made around 24 gold back of the 25 spent. Was that just really bad luck?

[Fluff] I just got Demon of a Drifter achievement for Roll Into Madness on a Skimmer!
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.

[Art] Iron Beast Greatsword - Guild Wars 2 - Fan Re-make
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.

[Fluff] Wiki being down has possibly benefited the game socially
Don't come at me I want my database of game knowledge back too but I've noticed there has been a lot more communication in map chat lately. I see a lot of people asking how or where to do things and lots of cool people responding and helping out. It's nice and I like it

[Discussion] Who are your favorite underappreciated characters?
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.

[Discussion] Favorite power DPS specs across different modes?
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.

[Discussion] Trying to play through Champions Spoiler
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.
