    Guild Wars 2 I believe a Tengu playable race would be a waste of resources

    I believe a Tengu playable race would be a waste of resources

    I believe a Tengu playable race would be a waste of resources.

    Now I would like to give an argument to stand on, so this criticism dont come off as being a hater or anything.

    GW2 is all about Fashion Wars. And Fashion in the game change based on the race that is wearing the equipment.

    One of the major issues I remember seeing as a complaint about Charr race was the poor Armor clipping and how the Armor looks disfigured poorly on Charr such as the Charr Elongated Neck which could greatly altar the looks of head armor parts.

    I personally have two Charr, one being a more mainish character which is a Necromancer, and boy/girl let me tell you. Reaper hood looks terrible on my Charr. SMH. looks so cool generally but on the Charr it looks very awkward.

    Because of this, I theorize that these are many of the contributing factors as to why Charr are one of the least played character races in the game according to GW2Efficiency.com data collection sample size.

    Now lets look at the Tengu in GW2. They appear to be reskinned Charr with Bird features instead of Cats.

    Here is an example

    Seem like it would share in many of these same issues the Charr has. But not just that. To make a new playable Tengu Race, new Voice Actors have to be called in for all the future Living World Story stuff, and maybe even a new Low Level Zone will have to be introduced for them to level in, which unless these zones have meaningful endgame content, will be a total waste of resources just like many past Living World maps that have died over the years

    All of this for a new race that most may play initially to try it out but likely not to stick around with.

    Racials are also a cool nod in the game, but its just more of a novelty toy. That fades off especially as players start doing serious content such as group PvE, SPVP, WvW all of which the avg person doesnt use Racials unless they just bored and want something random and new to play with.

    All that said, it just seem like a waste of resources if most people wont even play the race long term after the hype and buzz dies down from the idea of getting a new race, if that were to ever happen.

    You can downvote me if you agree, or upvote me if you agree.
    But if you disagree, please leave a comment for sake of discussion and dialog.

    The Heart of Maguuma zones were something special

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 04:37 PM PDT

    I am a returning player who quit before HoT came out, bought the expansions about a month and a half ago and have been completing all the expansion stories and maps in order.

    I kinda hated the Heart of Maguuma zones at first, having to constantly check the wiki or youtube to get that elusive Point of Interest was aggravating. I felt lost all the time and the layered map didnt help much.

    The crystal desert was a relief for me, the mounts were convenient but something was missing.... I am now in this map in the LW Season 4 that has these anomaly zones, and one of them was a mini-maguuma jungle.. and the feelings hit me. How can I feel nostalgic for something that I had completed weeks ago?

    I clearly misjudged the maguuma jungle, exploring it was a blast and the verticality is unlike anything I have seen in an mmorpg before. The crystal desert is easy to navigate but nothing is sticking in my memory, the zones just come and go, but I will never ever forget the jungle.

    I just came back to the game and don't remember anything. Can somebody explain why one of my character's eyes look like they glow, and the others' don't?

    Posted: 19 Apr 2020 05:06 AM PDT

    So I kind of haven't played this game for 2 or 3 years and wanted to come back. I had some stuff on this account before and noticed my rogue main's eyes glow but the other characters who have the same character creation settings don't. Anyone could tell me where the "glow" effect is coming from?

    Description: Back to wvw after 3 months, now more chill than ever, not commiting to regular raid schedules but once weekly for sure.

    Big thanks to CHAO guild for being so warm and welcoming, and also to my guild mates from MM and people from Piken Square for their support, even not being in game for these 3 months.

    Video is dedicated to my good boy Bass, passed at age 11 after a joyful life, my family was blessed to have you with us all these years, every day. No one expected a deaf shepperd doggo to be that extraordinary.

    I'll be happy to have a thumbsUp, a comment, or just a visit. I've been playing gw2 since day 1, never promoted any of these vids while I contributed promoting events, this time I'm asking the community to give me a small piece of support in these damn sad days.

    What do you guys do with your other characters?

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 10:00 PM PDT

    I have 12 characters as I wanted to try all classes and races some classes I have double off. I usually place mine at the end of JPs and simply log in everyday to collect the treasure. I'm just checking if there is a more efficient way to use them.

    I know there was a thread on this already but that one is 3 years old. I thought maybe there will be something that wasn't covered before

    Many thanks in advance ☺

    Karka Shell Farm Guide 2020

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 05:16 PM PDT

    Karka Shell Farm Guide 2020

    In here, I'm going to explain, what Karka Shell Farm is, how to properly accomplish it and how much profit it can give, from my personal experience. ( Prepare for a long lecture ).

    So first off, is it a good way to earn gold ? Comapred to RIBA, or Dragonfall, no, but, it's really simple, straight forward farm that doesn't require too much effort from you, and will grant you a small income of that sweet gold. Want to earn and chill, go there.

    But you still don't know, what it is. Karka Shell Farm, as name itself says, is farming Karka Shells, but, that's not all. You will also have a small chance of getting Vial of Powerfull Blood, a bit bigger chance for Vial of Potent Blood, and a mega rare chance to drop equipment with Settler's stats, or Settler's Intricate Gossamer Insignia or recipe for Settler's Orichalcum Imbued Inscription. Junk will drop too, of course... On your path, there are 2 spots where a Blooming Passiflora might spawn ( as far as I saw, it often spawns on the entrance to Bakestone Cavern and near the steam wall. Harvesting it grants you 1 - 2 Passion Flowers worth ~24s each ) so watch your surroundings. There's going to be a lot of Cypress Saplings, Mithril Ores, and sometimes Ancient Sapling and Orichalcum Ore. Gather them, to sell or as materials to craft. Your choice.

    Ok, so how you do it now. NOT SOLO. Karkas are really tough to kill, 80% of the time they evade all your attacks, hit hard like a hammer, and due to their "Armor" ( each time they lose 25% of hp, for 3 seconds they will become invulnerable and change their look slightly. After 4th time, their hp goes back to 50%, but that means, you can finally kill them. Each time they lose a layer of armor, they will cure from conditions and grant themselves some boons. Also each time she rolls trough some players, she's losing conditions and getting might ), it takes some time if you try them 1v1, so for this farm, collect a group of at least 4-5 people (don't be scared, it takes like, 2 seconds to gather hunters. It is quite popular farm anyway ), the more, the better.

    Below, I've made a small map with path you will have to follow. Start from Owain's Refuge Waypoint ( it never gets contested, that's why ). Move towards micro camp at Scoured Plains, then turn towards Seashell Hills ( don't bother with Bakestone Cavern, 1 - 2 Veteran Karkas might spawn, or might not spawn at all, so, you will just waste your time climbing up or looking around the bottom part ). After that, make your way towards the Driftglass Springs, and at the end, move towards the Scoured Plains to repeat the path.

    https://preview.redd.it/jowusxu7jnt41.png?width=1330&format=png&auto=webp&s=eef7c06d64190eeb5d6f88550794905fa93a201c

    Now all you care about is to kill every Veteran Karka you see on your way, because only they ALWAYS drop 1 - 2 Karka Shells + ocassionally one of mentioned at the beginning things. There are some Young Karkas as well, but don't care about them. Chances they will drop a shell or Vial of Blood are quite small, much often they won't drop anything. Kill them ONLY if they're near Veteran Karka. At Driftglass Springs you will see a few Reef Riders. Ignore them, don't waste time on them unless they attack and block you from using mount. Chances they drop vial of blood are even worse, than for Young Karka...

    For higher chances to get Vial of Powerfull Blood, I recommend using Peppermint Omnomberry Bars ( Tray of Omnomberry Bars if you care to share ) and Flask of Pumpkin Oil ( eventually, Lump of Crystallized Nougat for short buff to dmg, or Sharpening Skull if you can't decide ).

    To move trough the map, I recommend using Jackal. Fast enough to let Karkas respawn. No need to move super fast, but if you don't have one yet, any kind of mount will work. If you're player without any expansion packs, then all you can do is to equip yourself with a lot of swiftness/superspeed.

    In group of people, Karkas will go down quite easilly, but I should mention, that I've noticed conditions, boon corruption and boon steal being very effective against them. If you manage to put condi on Veteran Karka, she will recieve damage even when losing one layer of her armor ( when that happens, she's evading all attacks, but can't evade condi dmg apparently ). Their attacks are quite simple, just spitting at you, throwing some poison aoe around, spitting out her eggs that will spawn a lot of her babies, and 3 attacks you better evade. First, if you see her legs twist aside, that means she's gonna roll forward. Evade, because if she rolls through you, you're getting knocked down for around 5 seconds. Second one, you will notice a orange circle appearing under you. She's going to jump and knock you down for around 2 seconds. 3rd one hard to predict, is when she starts rising one of her legs, then stomping it about the ground, sending knocking down shockwave. Worse, she repeats it 4 times. As easy mode, grant yourself stability for these attacks, and you will be fine. They can't be knocked down, pulled, pushed, etc. There's some very tiny, rare chances, that Veteran Karka will get dazed after getting down to 25%.

    Bla bla bla... WHAT ABOUT PROFIT ?! Ok ok chill, I was getting to it... So, after one hour of farming, you will have 70-80 Karka Shells, 2-3 Vials of Powerfull Blood, and some other loot. So, if you sell Karka Shells for 7s 10c, you get ~5g - 6g, and with all the other loot, you can get around ~3g so, we could say that Karka Shell Farm grants ~8g - 9g/h.

    ( Read if you have Living World Season 3 )
    You can get even higher profit from the Powerfull Blood you gater, if you have unlocked Lake Doric. You just have to do a bit of Centaur Leather Farm, to get enough Hardened Leather Section ( 30 ) for Berserker Intricate Gossamer Insignia. You probably will have to buy 5 ecto, and maybe even gossamer scraps, but still, profit will be worth it. It is at least for me.

    My other recommendation, would be avoiding doing Karka Shell Farm when there's 1h before the Karka Queen. Crowd is you enemy at that time. People coming for the Queen, will often start killing Karkas ahead of you, lowering your final profit. Also, group of 50+ players will finish Karkas fast enough to not let some slower players recieve the loot. So, if the Karka Queen event just ended, or there's max 2h of waiting for her, it's good for you to start the chill farm.

    I hope, that this hella long post will help some new or maybe even old players understand what this method of farm is all about. If I will learn something else, or if something on Southsun Cove changes, I will make sure to put it here.

    So I've noticed some players having a kind of creepy music box sounds coming from them but they aren't playing any instruments, it just is there. I can't figure out what it is. Anyone knows what it could be?

    Fractal CM Tricks of the Trade

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 09:55 PM PDT

    As I've been getting more experience with Fractal CM's, I've noticed that there are quite a few tricks that people have developed over the years and have pretty much become the norm. Now, I'm a player that really likes to research what I'm getting into so that I can multi class and have a basic idea as to what to expect when going into the more difficult fights and I've noticed a few things that aren't posted on the end game guide sites like Discretize (which mainly focus on maximizing everything and basically ignoring all mechanics).

    For HB and Revenant what builds are you using for 100cm and to which skills are used to mitigate which parts of the fight? As for 99cm I've been *scolded* quite heavily for dodging Siax's red PBAoE (I think it's blockable, though it seems a little risky to me) and I'm not quite sure how groups are able to make it so he doesn't Vomit his toxin though, luckliy? most of my groups are able to avoid it.

    So I thought that maybe the community could enlighten me on some *need to know mechanics when pugging CM's*.
