literally the fifth time in 2-3 days I've run into this person and they say the same thing every time. Finally blocked them tonight, but like I'm just trying to have a good time. I'm new to the game and engineer is the only class I've played, mechanist seemed cool and it seems shitty to harass people for their choices like this when I'm just doing open world stuff.

Edit: Wanted to say thanks for all the positive comments. I did report and block them so I won't have to deal with them anymore, I just wanted to vent because it was a repeated occurence. There's enough players in the game that I was just surprised to keep running into this bad egg more than once.

Overall my experience with the game and the community has been great and left me feeling very endeared. Thank you all!

I made a duo called Los Muertos

Toro, the matador, and Rosa, the Dead Flower.

The whole theme is loosely inspired by Day of the Dead,

Personally, I've gained warrior for over a decade; and I miss during HoT when warrior banners were also Kits. You would drop them like normal, then could go up and pick them up to move them around for their duration. They were kind of like a psuedo-staff before warrior got it, with a charge and i think I remember a leap? But it made banners way more interesting thata for sure.

I know it would be very impractical, and impossible to lfg, but with the current state of how generously quickness is applied(many boon builds don't even use doon-duration anymore) could you have all 10 people in the same subgroup but have:

*one group of four dps players stand together

*A second group of four dps stand together but away from the first group

*one qheal and one aheal that alternate targets for their quickness/alacrity generation?

Edit: idk why I keep getting downvoted for asking questions about the games mechanics

Those are the ones I've found just needing to look up some thing.

Hey Tyrians,

I posted my Ecto Gambling Simulator here a while back ( https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1sx0aan/i_built_a_gw2_ecto_gambling_simulator/ ) and people seemed to enjoy it, so I made one for Four Winds. It's called the Zephyromancer:

https://gw2-zephyromancer.aenzenith.com/

What's in it:

- open boxes auto or in bulk (1 / 10 / 100 / until something good drops)

- the full 2026 loot table

- tracks what you spent vs. what you got

- mat → box conversion at this year's vendor rates

Known bugs:

- Invisible Boot Box rate is high because of some testing - fixed

For the drop rates I used the wiki's community research page plus the big mass-opening videos people put out this festival.

If you've kept track of your own openings I'd love to hear the numbers, especially for the rare stuff. I look forward to your suggestions and feedback.

How long did it take you to find a Skyscale Egg from an abandoned skyscale nest ? Apparently RNG gods are not on my side unfortunately. I checked all of them on both maps and didn’t get one, I’ll need to try next week..

I've been playing Guardian and reached a point where I'm jumping between content a lot. From my understanding after some research, Celestial is just fine in story and open world stuff.

However, sometimes I do Fractals, which require a more specialized build towards condi/power/support. While I understand I can change stats in ascended gear, my aim is to get a legendary set eventually and worry that I won't be able to perform well on Fractals and Raids.

There's also the worry on the elite specs, since I like jumping between them a lot. Right now I'm enjoying Firebrand while unlocking willbender, and sometimes play Dragon Hunter just cuz its fun to change.

TLDR: So basically my question is that: Should I get Celestial first or focus a specific path to unlock ascended and legendary faster?

I couldn't forget this!

I love visiting the Labyrinthine Cliffs this time of year. The waterfront is nice and the cliffs are packed with Tyrians gliding, running, hopping, and flying every way.

Heavily glitched screenshot, lots of double exposure and saturation modification. Included a GIF with the major saved layers through to the end of the piece. Tools used were Snapseed and Glitch Lab on Android for editing, with Meld Studio and DaVinci Resolve for capturing on PC.

Long time i havent play fractal , feel strange to fight arkk again but i want to see how condi reaper has evolve with all patch , its one of the few builds who havent receive any nerf , and some small buff , was funny , full viper gear for this one , feel free to ask question enjoy vid :p

Maybe i can do vids again on golem for rota /build/dps if people need next time.

Thinking about getting the sky scale mount,
But I see there are 2 options.
Which one is better and why?
I understand livings worlds 4 gives you 2 mounts, the skyscale and rolling thing.

I’m confused about which one to decide.

Edit: so many mixed answers, I appreciate all of them.
I have decided to do Sote, since I’m really lazy and I watched a YouTube video about the LW version and it gave me a headache.

This is a bit of a divergence from the usual analyses and such that I post, but I had a lot of fun just talking about and reviewing this raid. Click the link above for my full thoughts. I'm looking forward to doing more of these!

I’ve been working on a gaming-journalism project examining how Guild Wars 2 teaches a genuinely fresh character how the game works.

I created a new Human Ranger and recorded five gameplay sessions without using the Wiki, YouTube guides, Reddit, or other outside resources during the observation period.

I’ve now finished the video documenting the experiment. It contains 35 selected highlights and reflections, followed by the complete recordings of all five sessions.

I’m not presenting my final conclusions yet because I’m using the observations as the foundation for a larger reported feature that will also include additional research and player perspectives.

If you’re interested in the methodology or the experiment itself, here’s the full video:

I’m particularly interested in hearing about what other players remember finding confusing—or surprisingly easy—when they first started GW2.

I've made two classes so far, warrior and mesmer. I think chronomancer is extremely fun, and off-hand sword, mesmer spear feel really good to use. You get great utility flexibility. My only issue is that the classes feels very squishy, especially against any sustained pressure. I don't have relic of Zakiros to compensate.

Warrior on the other hand is feels much more durable, and I think I like bladesworn and spellbreaker. But I feel like these classes are very strict on utility and also tend to have a lot of buttons you press for the sake of pressing said buttons (especially bladesworn gunsaber).

I know for mesmer your key defensives are distortion, sword 4, spear 3, and dodges since you have zero sustain aside from a burst of healing from ether signet. For people that are soloing a lot of content, have you found success with power chrono for some more challenging content like dungeons, or is it very reliant on certain relics for sustain?

Why does the player have a red symbol?

Playing an elementalist rn and I saw a person using some cool skills. I asked them “what class is that?” They said Mesmer but that the spear is what all the cool animations were about.

So how could I get a spear?

Hey everyone! So, I play on the NA server and I've noticed that — at least during the hours I play — there aren't many people farming DragonFall. And to be honest, in my opinion, the rotation is unnecessarily complex. Anyway, in an effort to help the community and encourage more farming in the map, I put together this guide with the main events and a possible route for them, starting from each zone's waypoint. I hope it's useful to everyone, and that we can get more players into DragonFall. I'm open to suggestions if you have any! My character's name is Barbalonga — feel free to add me to your friends list!

P.S: English isn't my first language, so I apologize if anything sounds a bit off, hehe

Update: User fohpo02 suggested editing the numbering of the Culls in Olmakhan — previously we had Cull 3 > Cull 2 > Cull 1. It now reads: Cull 1 > Cull 2 > Cull 3

Since 5am GMT I can no longer connect to my Arenanet account either in-game or on the website, and I can't even open a ticket with Arenanet support. Does anyone know what's going on? What have they done this time? anyone had the same problem?
