    Posted: 22 May 2020 04:54 AM PDT

    Are you troubled by strange noises asking for LI in LFG? Do you experience feelings of teleportation on Vale Guardian and Cairn? Have you or your family actually seen legendary armour in the open world? If the answer is yes, then don't wait another minute. Just pick up Discord and join the community -- Crossroads Inn.

    Crossroads Inn is an EU raid training community that has recently reopened our doors after a refurbishment of our practices and processes. Our goal remains the same, to break down the barriers to raiding in a fun and welcoming environment.

    We train every Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday starting at 18:00 GMT/20:00 CEST for two hours.

    You're probably asking yourself - "This sounds excellent, what do you need from me?". A good attitude, a willingness to learn and preferably at least exotic gear with the correct runes and stats*, we can help with advice about gear and builds as we progress.

    If you're interested in coming aboard please start by joining our Discord (click here!), we look forward to welcoming you into our community!

    GvG scene being ruined by one guy without consequences from Anet

    Posted: 21 May 2020 01:23 PM PDT

    For those who don't know it, GvG (Guilds vs Guilds) is an unofficial game mode played by guilds in WvW where guilds fight each other, generally in a 15v15 format. They usually fight in the Edge of the Mists Arena. Most of the people in the top GvG guilds almost only play GvG and nothing else.

    However, starting this week on EU (and for several weeks now on NA) one guy has been ruining, perturbing and griefing players in GvG. He constantly adds fights, making impossible for guilds to stealth, stealing stability on engages, interrupting War bubbles, etc.

    The easiest way would be for spectators to kill him. Plot twist: the guy plays thief, full nomad gear, full stealth. He is therefore very hard to kill. And it doesnt stop him.

    We understand that Anet doesnt want to invest in a GvG game mode. But this means that this guys is technically "just playing WvW", and is free to ruin the game for countless people without having to fear anything or anyone. This would be easily solvable with an instanced arena with WvW rules, which we've been asking for years. Hell, make us even buy a pass if it is what it takes.

    Or please, simply ban the guy. He is so dedicated to kill the fun for people he transferred (not a new account, transferred his main) from NA to EU to grief players. We are being fed up that no actions are being taken against this guy. A lot of us are simply gonna quit if we can't play the small part of the game we enjoy in peace because Anet doesn't do anything.

    TLDR: a thief is adding and ruining fights for days in GvG and Anet isn't doing anything about it, both EU and NA.

    PS: I don't think I am allowed to post his account name here, so I will abstain from it. I just hope this post gets somehow some attention from Anet. We have multiple recordings of him griefing us.

    EDIT: To every people saying he did nothing wrong: Where he didn't break any game rules, transferring regions to grief a player like Roy, and griefing multiple guilds every nights should be consider harassment. If someone would repetitively follow you and target you in WvW across the map for no reason, this is harassment. This guy doesn't kill anyone, he doesn't gain anything doing what he does, he just does it to ruin people gameplay.

    Gamer, I need your help!

    Posted: 22 May 2020 06:51 AM PDT

    I have to do a survey in school and I decided to do it on the topic gaming.

    The problem is, I need at least 80 answers, so I asked every gamer I know and only got 30 answers together.

    Please take a little time and help me out, by doing my survey on the link.

    It's a free survey software (no virus and I dont get money for that)

    Don't wonder you can literally see, that I ain't a professional in making surveys. :D

    Please help.

    Event: Tour of HoT map Train: EU

    Posted: 21 May 2020 02:16 PM PDT

    Last chance if this is something you want to do, I'll be back on NA next weekend:

    Sunday May 24th at 1pm pm Server Time on EU Mega Server at Shipwreck Peak WP in Verdant Brink.

    This Run will cover and open all of Verdant Brink, Auric Basin, Tangled Depths and the non-Meta portion of Dragon Stand. This is moderately paced, helpful and I try very hard not to leave anyone behind. You'll get all of VB, AB and TD opened and a Month's worth of solo grind in a fun relaxed day!

    What you need: Basic Glide - that is it! No Waypoints need, Mounts are not required. This is a very new(er) and disabled player friendly run.

    What you'll get:

    All Waypoints opened

    360 Hero Points (Basic Glide gets you 350)

    50+ MPs - Communes, Strongboxes and Achievements (Basic Glide gets you 45'ish)

    Some achievements like Golden Chicken and Disco Cave Dancer

    Quite a few hard to find or reach Vistas and PoI - not full map completion but we get most of them including the ones requiring Masteries to access.

    Some events we cross, which ones depend on timing and what the group's up for.

    Pretty good XP and Loot zerg along the way!

    It is a full day if you stay for the whole thing, about 7-8 hours including scheduled breaks but you're free to stay for what you can. This is a no peep left behind run so the tail has a lot to say about the pace.

    Starts PROMPTLY at 1 pm Server Time but will be posted on LFG/Heart of Thorns/Verdant Brink between 12:20 and 12:30 Server Time. If there's room I'll post in AB and TD when we reach them. I'll try and have the squad up at or around 12:15 Server Time and you can whisper me for an invite. You can contact me at Trixi Morrigna or Morrigna.1704.

    I'm not planning on doing an overflow squad so get there early to assure a spot.

    Hope to see you there!

    Four Guild Wars 2 Web Pages I'd Have Trouble Living Without

    Posted: 21 May 2020 04:20 PM PDT

    This isn't meant to be an exhaustive list of every useful web site, just a personal expression of appreciation to four sites that have changed the way I play the game.

    The Guild Wars 2 Wiki https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Main_Page

    Hardly enough can be said about how good and useful the wiki is. For those who don't know typing the /wiki command in the game will bring up the wiki in your browser and typing /wiki anything else will allow you to look up any specific thing. I don't use the command that often since I have it open on a second monitor in a browser whenever I play. Typing /wiki et in game will bring up the event timer that will let me know what's going on at any given time.

    GW2 Efficiency https://gw2efficiency.com/

    For a guy with 48 characters on my main account and nine other accounts, GW2 efficiency is the site I use the most. Finding items in the inventory of some random character is easy, checking out what I need for crafting a legendary or some other hard to craft item, deciding what dyes to get from birthday presents, checking out various stats. I actually became a patron of this site and sent them a few bucks every month because I basically live here.

    Metabattle https://metabattle.com/wiki/MetaBattle_Wiki

    Whenever I'm looking for a build, this is my first go to place. I'm more of an open world player and this is the site I go to just to look to see what the community likes. It's the starting point for many of the builds I use on characters. Sure I tweak builds to be right for me, but metabattle is a huge time saver for me.

    Taco http://www.gw2taco.com/

    Yeah, I know this isn't a website, it's an overlay but it's an overlay that fundamentally changes the game for a lot of people Taco allows people to see routes for anything from completion of hard jumping puzzles to farming routes. Admittedly I like to try to solve things on my own but for certain content, I wouldn't even have attempted it in the first place without taco. Things like SAB tribulation mode, the orphan run in Divinity's Reach during christmas, various farming routes for currency are all easier because taco exists. Shout outs to be Tekkit's Workshop http://tekkitsworkshop.net/index.php/gw2-taco/download and the Reactif Pack https://www.heinze.fr/taco/?lang=en as well, the two marker packs I've found most useful for Taco.

    I'm sure there are sites others use as well, but these are the four I spend most of my time on. Thanks to everyone involved in their creation and maintenance.

    Proposal: Legendary Armor Vendor

    Posted: 22 May 2020 12:54 AM PDT

    Goal: Intermediate step on the way to the legendary armory

    Implementation: A vendor that "sells" (for free) accountbound, unsellable, unsalvageable copies of all legendaries owned by the account. This can also re-use technology already in use for the Blossoming Mist Shard armor in dragonfall, where each piece is only sold after its "precursor" piece (Mist Shard armor) was aquired. The use of a new item ID for all pieces of equipment sold by this vendor is important to make identifying real double legendaries easier, just in case some kind of compensation is planned later on for people who crafted multiple sets of the same armor.

    Problems solved by this:

    • Different skins for different templates with legendaries (Just get a seperate set for free for the second template and skin it)

    • Forced effects on legendary trinkets (Add a slumbering version of each legendary trinket to the vendor)

    Known problems that need to be solved:

    • Multiple use of legendaries only owned once in one template (e.g. d/d thief with only 1 crafted legendary dagger)

    • The multi-use problem is even more prevelant with legendary runes and sigils

    • Combined effects for legendary trinkets (A copy of vision and the real coalescence should still display the 2-Item legendary effect)

    Anyone had trouble with password reset emails?

    Posted: 22 May 2020 08:35 AM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    I am trying to recover my GW1 account to connect it to GW2.

    I have verified my ownership of it and all, but when Anet say that they have sent out a password reset email I am not getting one.

    I have done all the troubleshooting and my email works fine.

    My question is if anyone else has had problems with these emails not being delivered to a hotmail email and if anyone knows what the email adress they should be coming from is?

    Steel Warband appears in the Icebrood Prologue

    Steel Warband appears in the Icebrood Prologue

    Is that new? You can clearly see two very familiar charr fighting alongside Ryland there!
    Or did Anet actually change a story after it came out? I mean it changes nothing gameplay wise, it's just a nice lore hint.

    Any way of getting mount skins outside of the cash shop?

    Posted: 22 May 2020 07:29 AM PDT

    I'm still a pleb in this game and haven't reached 80 yet, but from what I've seen so far the mounts seem really cool and each mount has some ability attached to it.

    I've learned you get most of them through PoF questing and the rest of them through some grind and some extra questing stuff that you need to purchase again. Another thing I noticed is that there doesn't seem to be that many skins for the mounts and those that are in the game all seem to be in the cash store.

    Is there any way to have a more unique mount without having to throw money at the game? (apart from getting the free skin from playing during the server crash). It seems almost ridiculous that there are no achievement mount skins. Or like skins that you can get from clearing raids or stuff.

    The runic cape is a good, achievable reward

    Posted: 22 May 2020 07:27 AM PDT

    Hey there!

    So I've been ranting a lot about the Raven Shaman Garb (currently on it's race to become the most valuable item to ever exist in the history of gw2) so let me point out an opposite example.

    The runic cape. Unlocked to be able to receive after you finished all 5 footsteps achievements you have to complete strikes and open the orders chest in eotn with 3 crytsals in order to receive cape scraps that you can later realign into a cape that looks gemstore worthy for once. It is by any means not turboeasy to achieve and yet barely any ppl have it because it's a long but not pure grind item.
    Truly a good reward in my opinion.

    UNLIKE THE RAVEN SHAMAN GARB

    I had my main, a human Mesmer, commissioned by an incredible line artist - decided to share!

    Engineer new profession: the mad scientist.

    Posted: 22 May 2020 06:32 AM PDT

    when the engineer go nuts and use unconventional dangerous inventions. more focused toward condi. (holosmith was more power focused and scrapper power/tank).

    **weapon*\*: staff.

    a staff used as a power generator. some wires are connected from it to your left hands power glove which you use to launch attacks.

    **1: unlimited power.*\*

    fire an hitscan (similar to mesmer greatsword auto attack) electrical arc toward the target. dealing direct damage, bleeding on vulnerable foes and vulnerability.

    then, after a little channelling, fire a hitscan electrical discharge that jump up to 2 times on nearby foes dealing direct damage + bleeding on vulnerable foes and increase bleeding, vulnerability stack per jump. also apply blind + torment on the last jump.

    **2: unstable concoction:*\*

    have 3 charge. fire an exploding projectile on a target which detonate upon impact and leave a toxic gas cloud. apply poison and burning leave a poison field for combo. it is an explosion type.

    each charge could have an additional random damaging condition.

    **3: condition conversion:*\*

    channeling for X seconds. while channeling create an hitscan link with your target. for each pulse earn 1, then 2 then 3 then 4 boons per condition stack on your target. the boon depend on the condition.

    **

    4: dreadful smoke:*\*

    leak a dreadful smoke all around the caster for X seconds which fear any foes inside. the fear itself don't last long but if you stay near your foes you can extend the fear duration. (it is a well)

    **5: death link:*\*

    require a little chaneling. a dreadful projectile that apply confusing, torment and slow. it consume all your boons stack and apply as many conditions stacks on your target. condition depend on the boon.

    if your target dies while death link is active all conditions on him will spread to nearby foes.

    **f5: illegal turret: (turret type)*\*

    spawn a special turret that can't move with normal means. the turret design depends on the race of the caster (a charr would get a different looking turret than a asura).

    the turret gets a copy of your weapon. while the turret is active you can swap weapons/kits and any WEAPON ability you use will be used by the turret instead. the turret will target your target.

    the turret will disapear after X seconds or if you cancel the skill which trigger the cooldown or if you get too far away from it.

    using this ability will give a barrier to the caster and refresh the currently used weapon, weapon skills.

    but,

    any boon the turret gets isn't shared with you.

    while CC you can still use your weapon skills from the turret!

    turret has same stats as you and can be destroyed but you don't share your boons with it.

    if the turret gets destroyed before the time limit the cooldown is extended.

    ■ disclaimer:

    for balancing purpose we could not be able to swtich to weapon or kits while the turret is active OR the turret could have its own original weapon ability like the holosmith stance.

    the goal here is to have your weapon skills come from another entity other than you and be manually controlled. the turret could also share your boons upon invokation..

    **new abilities:*\*

    the theme is inventions. all are stance type.

    **heal: shield generator. (stance type)** (norn like design)

    adds a little generator above your head.

    periodically generate an average amount of barrier for X seconds. when stance ends, convert half of any barrier you have into health.

    **belt ability: defensive field. (aura type)*\*

    grant a random aura. no channeling time (so can be used while stun.)

    if you get hit while the aura is active, grants you a little barrier.

    ■ if you use this ability while the shield generator is active share the aura with all nearby allies instead. (tho they will not get a barrier upon being hit.)

    **ability1: jetpack (stance type)** (charr like design)

    adds a jetpack on your back.

    for X seconds give you permanent swiftness (or superspeed), allow you to move at the same speed no matter the direction and let you slightly hover above groud. you can jump normally but you will slow fall while in this stance.

    periodically apply burning around you.

    **belt ability: smoke generator.*\*

    a violent explosion deal minor initial damage and leak smoke behind you for X seconds. create little smoke fields behind you that may cause blindness. (explosion type)

    ■ create a blast combo and burn foes on the initial explosion if the jetpack is active.

    **ability2: weapon enhancer nanomachines (stance type)** (azura like design)

    adds little nanomachine aura around your weapon.

    for X seconds all your weapon abilities launch a mini nanomachine towards your targets and apply vunlerability and weakness.

    **belt ability: nanomachine strike.*\*

    a swarm of nanomachines charge at your target. it deals direct damage overtime. (like ranger warhorn birds strike) with bonus damage depending on the target's number of vulnerability stacks. the swarm deals only direct damage but will scale with both power AND condition stats. (so a full condi character can still deal a good amount of direct damage with it )

    if the target dies while nanomachines is still active on the target it will jump towards the nearest enemy.

    ■ the nanomachine strike deals AOE damage around the target instead if used while the weapon enhancer nanomachine is active.

    **ability3: condition pump (stance type).** (sylvari like design)

    adds a big syringe on your chest.

    the syringe periodically suck conditions from you and store them.

    when the stance ends you have the choice for a few seconds to throw the syringe toward your target to apply every condition that was sucked by it. (beware of projectile bounce!)

    (explosion type)

    (shame on you if your target repel this back to you ^^. would be fun if this projectile would be specifically able to bounce back more than once.)

    **belt ability: health pump.*\*

    plant the syringe on your target chest. it will pump his health, ignore barrier and does not trigger retaliation. when the ability ends or if the target dies it will leave a little health potion on the floor which heals for the same amount of damage it has done.

    ■ if used while condition mup is active, copy each condition sucked by the condition pump syringe ability and apply them directly on the health pump target each time the condition mup suck a condition from you.

    **abilty4: scarlet puppet (stance type).** (human (krytian) like design. )

    a scarlet littrle flying machgine appear above your headfor X seconds. the machine act like a puppet master and act like it move your body even if you are sleeping.

    give you periodically breakstun and resistance.

    **belt ability: puppeter strings.*\*

    throw a pointy mechanical leg (from the scarlet puppet) with a string to try and control your taget movement.

    taunt your target for x seconds.

    can be used while stun. deal extra damage + bleeding to foes with stability.

    ■ if used while scarlet puppet is active then also launch puppet strings all around you.

    ■ disclaimer: using a belt ability when its main ability is active will increase its cooldown.

    **ultimate: copy cat drone.(stance type)** (cantha like design.. whatever that means..)

    create a drone above your head for X seconds that will use any weapon skill you use with a delay. it share any boons you get with you. also work with the special f5 turret but the drone will stay above you. some weapon skill will however not work exactly like the weapon itslef. (rifle jump ability will not make the drone jump but generate a blast around it. shield ability will be cast on the character instead of on the drone, etc..)

    in case of the f5 turret having original weapon abilities the drone will copy them too.

    pvp only: the copy cat drone could be prematurely destroyed if the character recieve too much damage or lose some barrier, or get stun, ... etc.
