    End of Dragons - Perspective And The Bigger Picture!

    Posted: 17 Feb 2022 03:32 PM PST

    Before PoF was released, Anet had this teaser for the Griffon hidden on the website. Perhaps they would do something similar with EoD?

    Before PoF was released, Anet had this teaser for the Griffon hidden on the website. Perhaps they would do something similar with EoD?

    Who knows what they could add this time but if there is a secret to find in EoD, perhaps its already on the EoD website?

    [Release] Discord Rich Presence Addon 2.3 - Multiboxing, combat, mounts and more!

    Posted: 18 Feb 2022 02:54 AM PST

    TL;DR It displays your current ingame location, character and profession for others to see in Discord. - This is how it looks like: https://imgur.com/a/Kgl6rYi - Download it here: https://gw2rpc.info/ - Previous Posts: Release, Version 2.0, Version 2.1, Version 2.2

    Discord Rich Presence addon

    What it does

    Utilizes the Discord Rich presence feature to display additional information in your Discord status like this, including: * Character name * Character class * Current map * Time spent on current map * Mount and combat status * Active commander tag * Nearest point of interest on map image hover * Bosses you're currently fighting in raids and fractals

    Also supports

    • API keys for displaying guilds
    • Multiboxing
    • Languages: en, es, fr, de

    New features in 2.3

    • Multiboxing support: Every instance has to have an unique MumbleLink ID, which can be specified with the -mumble config parameter. This can also be activated in the settings of gw2launcher, see below. (Thanks to writzx)
    • Return to "in character selection" if you log out from a character and remain in character selection. Previously this was stuck on displaying the last played character until you log in with another one. (Thanks to PR from BenLubar)
    • Display an emoji (⚔️) behind your character name if you are currently in combat in game.
    • Display currently used mount, can be deactivated in config file.
    • Display a button in Discord, which leads you to a website for easily copy-pasting the chat link of the closest point of interest next to you for others, as well as a whisper string. Can be deactivated in config file.
    • Display fractal (CM) boss images
    • Only one instance of gw2rpc.exe will be active at a time now. If you start it again and another instance is already running, it will terminate. (Useful when setting up multiboxing via GW2Launcher).

    Bugfixes

    • Fixed a crash with malformed json data
    • Fixed a crash when quickly switching between multiboxed instances (Thanks to Breaking)
    • Fixed a crash when connection to GW2 API or GW2RPC API could not be established due to client side limitations (proxy or firewall) (Thanks to TEnn and SoloMona18)
    • Fixed a crash when GW2 crashes (Thanks to Rengo)
    • Fix timestamps / duration of fractal boss encounters (Thanks to Trinterin)
    • Fixed images for strike bosses (API)
    • Added images for Dragonfall, Dragonstorm, Cold War (API)
    • Updated translations

    How to use with multiboxing (GW2Launcher)

    1. Go into settings (menu in the top left corner).
    2. Go to 'Guild Wars 2' -> Launch Options. Search for Mumble link name and tick the checkbox. Leave the value as it is.
    3. (optional) Scroll down in launch options and add gw2rpc.exe to the 'Run after launching' section to automatically start gw2rpc.exe along with GW2.

    In general, multiboxing support can be achieved by appending the -mumble <link-name> parameter to the GW2-64.exe. Other launchers might implement this too. It may work without the parameter too, but it could not work as expected sometimes.

    How to update

    • Download the latest version from the website and replace the gw2rpc.exe file with the new one. You may also replace your config file.

    How to install

    • Place the extracted files in <GW2-dir>/addons/gw2rpc/ (create the folder if it does not exist) and simply run gw2rpc.exe. To make starting Rich Presence easier, there is an .exe called launch_gw2_with_rpc.exe included in the download. This script launches both GW2 and the RPC addon. For it to work, it needs to be present in <GW2-dir>/addons/gw2rpc/. You may then replace your normal GW2 shortcut with it for ease of launching.

    Known issues

    • Note that Discord Rich Presence can be updated only every 15s, so keep in mind that your mount and combat status, as well as the active multibox instance will not be displayed immediately.
    • Somehow you can not click your own Discord RPC buttons, but this is a Discord issue.
    • Copying the whisper chat code places the character name in the message field. Simply copy-paste it into the name field in game then.
    • Note that with introducing multiboxing support, a lot of stuff in the background got reworked. Allthough the beta version was tested by several people, there might be still some unknown problems.
    • GW2RPC always displays "in character selection": Please check the created logfile in <GW2-dir>/addons/gw2rpc/. Especially with Windows 11 it might happen that the connection to the GW2API and/or GW2RPC API is getting blocked.
    • The new .exe might be reported as a false positive by your anti-virus scanner or blocked by Windows Smartscreen, as it is not signed. Have a look at the Virustotal report. If you don't trust that you can always have a look at the source or build it by yourself. If Windows SmartScreen complains: Click on "More Information" and add it as an exception.

    How to contribute

    • I want to extend the fractal boss mode to every fractal and not only CMs. For this I need the coordinates of the fighting area for each boss. If you want to help out gathering coordinates during your daily fractal routine, hop onto our Discord Server for instructions on how to do it.

    Future plans

    • A feature where it will automatically announce your raid lead to a discord channel via a webhook if you tag up in game, but I have to think this through. I proposed this to some WvW Raid commanders and the main issue is how to distinguish between public and private leads (which should be not announced anywhere). If people are interested in such a feature, I will dive into it.

    Build Templates: An unasked review.

    Posted: 18 Feb 2022 04:55 AM PST

    I had one of those moments of spending money on gems for impulse buys in anticipation for End of Dragons. A great time for any spreadsheet lover at Anet.

    Food for thought: one of the things I was thinking of buying was build templates, heck, even build storage (!) , as I have grown to enjoy grabbing a build template on my toons and swapping on the fly. However, I was then reminded that the real nice stuff, having builds on the various quick menus we have on the toon, to quickly swap builds without overwriting, is still CHARACTER bound. Which...really put a damper on things.

    The fact its a thing at all is also a travesty. But i thought it should be said, in a state of mind where i was even willing to think about buying those: that it isnt account wide makes me not do so, or any other related things, at all.

    Lets help our WoW (and other MMOs) friends out...

    Posted: 17 Feb 2022 09:34 AM PST

    Fellow Veteran GW2 players... there seems to be a flood of post with WoW players trying to figure out GW2 end game. Trying to do their best but WoW seems to have them locked into gear grind so now that is all they know and GW2 as we all know and love is not that way. Here is my take on the whole situation. Correct me if I am wrong (like I need to say that on this sub, LMAO) or add to my thoughts. I hate to hear someone turn away from such a great game that has kept my attention since GW1!

    I have not played WoW but it sounds like you are so busy chasing gear that chasing gear ends up being the game and end game. That is all I hear when someone talks WoW. Got to grind gear to keep up. I can't take time off I will be to far behind on gear and won't be able to do anything. This sounds more like a job then having fun playing a game.

    I like to call GW2 an "Open World" MMO. When you hit end game and log in there is really no I must do this or that. It is more logging in and thinking - What sounds fun to do today? Let me think of my end game options because I do not have to grind gear:

    Dungeons (I know old but still playable)
    Fractals (Don't start the MC talk! We all know what is happening with these :P)
    Raids
    Strike Missions
    WvW (With a bunch of sub activities inside WvW)
    PvP
    Legendary hunting
    crafting
    Map Metas
    Mount Hunting
    Jumping Puzzles
    Working the thousands of achievements for the fun of them or rewards they give
    Exploring in General
    and I am sure I missed more stuff.

    Once you gear up your toon you can drop that I must log in a bunch of hours and regear to stay relative. Nope, it just becomes lets log into the game when I feel like playing and lets play any of the end game stuff that I enjoy playing. Less working at the game and more enjoying the game and every time you log in you can do what you enjoy instead of the gear grind.

    Edit: From Arduine " The wiki has a pretty comprehensive page on endgame, could point them towards there: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Endgame "

    Too late to the fail logs, but I see them and raise this. I don't think 0.00% can be beaten for worst failure.

    Posted: 17 Feb 2022 12:39 PM PST

    Do you normally play one character for everything you do? Or do you switch between multiple characters?

    Posted: 17 Feb 2022 04:14 PM PST

    Just wondering if people do everything on one main and just use alts for dailies, or if you guys like to play multiple chars for multiple activities.

    Can the mods help hype the expansion?

    Posted: 17 Feb 2022 11:48 AM PST

    Was thinking of having the banner say End of Dragons instead of The Icebrood Saga and add a timer.

    Something like ugly mockup, if possible.

    It might catch the attention of whoever is browsing the subreddit these days and have them jump in knowing an expansion is so close.

    Edit: This would be for old.reddit.com users :), it might be different on the new style.

    Newer player here. Just finished "my story" should I skip to PoF to get the mounts?

    Posted: 18 Feb 2022 05:21 AM PST

    Running around everywhere can be a drag. I caved halfway through the story and played PoF just far enough to get the Raptor and stopped so i wouldn't spoil too much. Now that I'm done with My story, should I finish PoF before doing thorns to get the rest of the mounts?

    Lornar's Pass Event/XP Farming?

    Posted: 18 Feb 2022 12:44 AM PST

    Are there any good spots to farm XP and map bonus rewards in Lornar's Pass? This week the map reward is Shiny Baubels, and I'm trying to level up some masteries. I've been exploring some, but haven't seen anything yet. Same looking through [fast] farming.
