    Anet, can we get Belinda's hanging dead body as a guild decoration? Thanks!

    This update is another huge step in aiming for REPLAYABILITY and RE-USING CONTENT

    Posted: 26 May 2021 12:04 AM PDT

    For a year or so now, we've seen Anet shift gears in terms of content purposes.

    We were used to one shot story instances with patch that lasted 3 hours in a straight line and then not knowing what to do.

    Since IBS, we have seen more and more replayability, from instanced content to re-using old content like this patch. This makes me hopeful for the future.

    (I'd like to back to Orr for example)

    Edit : to make it clear, I'm not saying those new achievements are adding a lot of replayability, I'm saying it's a reason to reuse old content, like they do more and more for some time now. It's one step further in this regard

    Why are PoF maps so dead compared to HoT maps?(meta events specifically)

    Posted: 26 May 2021 03:56 AM PDT

    I was going through HoT and PoF lately to redo all the maps and meta events in them, and I've found consistently for weeks now that HoT maps are regularly in LFG and easy to find squads to complete the meta events with.

    However with PoF metas, its much harder to find groups. Not only do I rarely see groups in LFG for Domain of Vabbi or Desolation but I was only able to get a group started myself once or twice with most times very few people wanted to join the LFG for it.

    ​

    Anyone know why the map metas for HoT are so much more active and attractive to people than PoF metas? Even Living Story season 4 maps actually have more active LFG metas than PoF.

    ​

    My own personal theory was that it had to do with rewards, specifically rare drops. HoT maps(AB, TD) have metas that have a chance to drop extremely rare yet valuable rewards(infusions), which incentivizes people to go and do them regularly since its basically a form of gambling to go and do the meta and hope you get something worth 1-5k gold. Some of the LS4 maps have something similar where there are rare infusion drops from metas that are super valuable.

    Edit: Crystal Oasis is an exception, as I do actually see people in LFG frequently doing the meta, which is mainly again I suspect for the rare infusion chance.

    To those that were in my PoF HP train tonight and I left you hanging at the brandstorm

    Posted: 25 May 2021 08:20 PM PDT

    I just want to say I'm sorry. Power flickered out and came back on immediately but shut everything off. I'm up and running now but getting login error. Not sure if I'll be able to finish the run. That was the worst possible moment for that to happen >:(

    Dear Anet, thank you for the manatee

    Posted: 25 May 2021 02:08 PM PDT

    For the longest time ever, my favourite thing do do in game has been sending random people Nopals. Today, my favourite animal was brought into the game as a mount. Just Incredible.

    Just wanna shout out to Save the Manatees club for their efforts in conserving these lovely animals. Last year around this time, I adopted a manatee for my guild (a traveller named Vector!). If anyone else is interested in doing the same, you can check out their efforts here: https://www.savethemanatee.org/how-to-help/adopt-a-manatee/

    Living World Season 2 Achievement Guides

    Posted: 25 May 2021 09:37 AM PDT

    Hello Reddit!

    With the old Season 2 episodes coming back (and for free!) I decided to start making my own achievement guides to help people who still need them :) I know these guides already been made and most people used Dulfy guides for this, but I decided to make them with my own style and of course more updated. I'm working on the Season 3 guides too and later I will do the "Seasons of the Dragons" guide as well for the legendary amulet :D (I'm not doing it yet because it's very simple so far)

    I hope it helps!

    EDIT: To clarify for the legendary amulet check under the "Side Stories" -> "Current Events" category and you will find the "Seasons of the Dragons" achievement. Each week you will find new achievements under "Bonus Events" to progress that, and they will stay permanently. So far they are very simple (mostly replay the story, do events and gather nodes) so I'm not doing the guide for that yet.

    These guides are for the episodes old achievements for the people who didn't have the Season 2 before.

    ​

    I think Anet has started banning sPvP players for flaming/idle

    Posted: 26 May 2021 07:28 AM PDT

    Today, I got banned for chat abuse. I would say it's deserved, I was not being very nice. The reason I'm making this post is that I've seen multiple people suddenly DCing and staying offline (or off-line haha) after they've been abusive a few matches in a row or just AFK after dying once. Perhaps they are finally banning again, I've seen so many people just being absolutely disgusting in what they are saying for matches or even days on end. I get way too easily angered by these people and answer with abuse, I should try to not let it affect me this much. So this did wake me up to be better when my 72h ban is up and I'm glad they are banning people.

    Firebrand Mantra Accessibility Issue

    Posted: 25 May 2021 12:23 PM PDT

    This afternoon I made a forum post about an accessibility issue with the firebrand mantra art and I'm hoping it can be changed.

    Here is my post:

    https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/topic/96145-firebrand-mantra-accessibility-problem/

    It states: I play firebrand in every aspect of the game, PvE, WvW and PvP. I've been playing firebrand nearly every day since 2016, but the new patch has made that difficult. As someone with poor eye sight, the mantra visual changes greatly impacted my ability to determine how many mantras uses I have left. This is an accessibility problem I've found has impacted a good portion of the community I play with and something I hope can be changed soon. My hope is that the firebrand mantras can go back to having their own art for each use. I understand that while the white number indicators seem large enough when looking, in the heat of combat it's very hard to see past cooldown timers whilst also doing mechanics. Thank you.

    If this is something that has impacted you or is something you care about, I'd greatly appreciate interacting with my post as it truly does help. Thank you!!!

    The 'Catch-up' mechanic GW2 needed

    Posted: 25 May 2021 04:44 PM PDT

    Many veterans of the game have surely finished the meta achievement for the first 2 living world chapters. Takes at most 2 hours if you are a bit lazy about it. But it is such a great catch up mechanic. Let me explain.

    First, ofc, the living word episodes are given for free. - Playing this (incentivised by the achievements as well) gets people started on the story, it is almost like binge watching a series.

    Then, there is the achievements. - Seemingly menial tasks, go gather, mine, and chop some trees, and do 10 events while you at it. This makes players who haven't spent time on Dry top so far go around a bit, explore, figure out what is going on.

    Promise of great, long term rewards. - This being the precursor and legendary. One of the most repeated excuses for not getting into an MMO is that it takes a long time to catch up in Levels. This doesn't apply to GW2, as reaching 80 is trivial, and is only where the game begins. But ascended gear, and, the endgame, legendaries do feel un-approachable to some people. The fact that ascended weapons, and leggies are on offer if you stick around are a great incentive to get commitment. Not for long, but it will last 1 week until the next story / batch of achievements drop.

    I have many friends who played GW2 before, but stopped for a while and didn't return because they felt there was no way to catch up, they don't want to buy the living world episodes, don't want to grind fractals/pvp/wvw, let alone raids for ascended gear, and there is no way they would commit to getting a legendary.

    Guess what got them to patch up today.

    I LOVE that the achievements are easy. I LOVE that this content is accessible. It doesn't give much to veterans, but it is THE 'Catch-up' so many needed. Don't change it.

    I really feel bad for people who are interested in the story and go from the end of the personal story to season 2

    Posted: 25 May 2021 12:35 PM PDT

    The complete lack of context, having no connections or idea who Taimi, Rox, Braham etc are and the suddenness (word?) of dry top must really feel awkward for newcomers.

    I hope at least the little cutscene that you can trigger in LA plays automatically or something. It should at least be accessible from the journal, it wouldn't be enough, but it would be the very bare minimum.

    Releasing my 'GW2 Tool Hub' application

    Posted: 25 May 2021 01:50 PM PDT

    Hey there, everyone.

    I have been spending a considerable amount of time lately working on a desktop GUI application project and have come to the point where I feel it is stable enough to release to the public, in case anyone might find some use of it.

    What is it?

    This is a simple application in attempt to provide useful resourceful tools during game play in a compact and out of the way window. The current features are note taker, material tracker, and a convenient browser. You can find more detailed information and the download link at my github page: https://michael-r-r.github.io/GW2_Tool_Hub/

    ​

    If you have any questions please feel free to ask and I will try my best to answer them. I don't know whether or not anyone will find this application useful, but if you do then I am glad!

    ​

    If any mods need me to verify myself as the owner please let me know.

    ​

    FAQ:

    Why is your reddit account only one day old?

    • I only lurk through reddit without an account. I decided to create an account to make GW2 players aware of my application.

    Do I need to sign up for anything to use this application?

    • Zero signing up required.

    Is this application free to use?

    • Yes, it is completely free.

    Do I need to be in Window/Windowed Fullscreen in game to use this?

    • Yes. The application will not work in Fullscreen.

    Is this safe to use?

    • Yes. This application does not change or alter anything about the game or its files. Any information that is used for data purposes (I.E the Material Tracker Tool) comes from available API queries.

    How do I know this won't give me a virus?

    • I wouldn't jeopardize my reputation nor my ethics with embedding viruses in my application. Otherwise you can use services to scan the files for viruses, such as: www.virustotal.com I only host the installer download for my application here on my github page. Please DO NOT download from anywhere else.

    Where can I report bugs/issues and/or request features?

    Why did you create this application?

    • It started as a simple 'Material Goal Tracker' console application example that I had used to help teach my significant other C++. I then later on decided to take that idea and flesh it out into a GUI application and it quickly became a fun project to continue working on.

    Do you plan on continuing support and updates for this application?

    • I still have a few ideas and a lot of quality of life improvements that I would like to add. So, yes I do still plan to support and improve this application as long as time allots.

    Will this application be perfect and bug free?

    • No, probably not. But, I believe it to be in a stable enough condition to finally release to to the public.

    EDIT1: Thank you very much to those that awarded this post.

    EDIT2: For all those asking about making this project open source, the answer is yes. I support open source projects and the effects it has on communities. I also believe open source for this project is important because I am only one person and can only do so much in so little time. By making this project open source it will create avenues for contributors to help enhance and increase the projects functionality to make it the best possible application for the GW2 community. With that said, please be patient with me as I work through and plan all the things in order to make this properly open source, especially since this is my first time doing something like this and I have a few things in my personal life limiting my time.

    Bad performance on semi-modern PC?

    Posted: 26 May 2021 08:27 AM PDT

    Am running a GTX 1070 and a Ryzen 5 2600, trying out the game i can't even reach 50FPS in the first Human area? After a bit of fiddling it turns out that the only way to gain any FPS is by turning down the "Shaders" options but that makes the game rather ugly.
