Guild wars 1 is very much alive, we have a /vm/ guild that has been running near weekly events for 2 years now for anyone interested in doing endgame content, new players are always welcome and no prior experience is needed.>>1662638 Previous ThreadOur Paragon only NF campaign prog has been going well nearly 2/3rds through the campaign if you are interested and have a paragon always welcome to join in late. Prog time is Mondays at 7:30 PM EST. Lately we've been doing some dungeons and PvP every weekend just watch thread for details.If you want to join the guild, post your IGN.If you're new and ever have questions or need help with something, just ask anytime.And fix your sound!>https://guildwarslegacy.com/forum/thread/10525-announcing-dsoal-gw1-3d-positional-audio-and-eax-effects-for-everyone/What is DSOAL-GW1?>When GW was released in 2005, the audio component of Microsoft’s DirectX API was something called DirectSound. DirectSound had a 3D audio component called DirectSound3D, or DS3D, that could pan and amplify/attenuate sound sources based on their position relative to the camera in the game’s 3D world. PC’s with a high-end Creative sound card also had access to EAX, an extension to DS3D with a suite of hardware DSP effects for occlusion, obstruction, reverb, echo, etc. Like most games of its era, GW’s audio system was designed around DirectSound and DS3D, and owners of high-end PCs could get the “definitive” audio experience with EAX.>All that ended in 2007 with Windows Vista. Vista completely broke DS3D and EAX. Rather than fix it, Microsoft deprecated DirectSound and pushed developers to adopt its new XAudio2 API for future games. With DS3D and EAX broken, GW hasn’t sounded “right” in any version of Windows since XP.

Sex with ritualist women.
It's almost unbelievable how much better the Luxon skill icons are.
>>1687865>It's almost unbelievable how much better the Luxons are.ftfy

How do I make Ritualist fun? I don't want to start over and make something like Dervish, but I really don't get how to play Rit. I just want to go in and punch people in the face like a gorilla.
>>1688176Ritualist isn't really a "go in and punch people" profession, but this is Guild Wars so if there is a will there is a way, specially with the skill Spirit's Strength.OAajosiGJTZgKb2CIbzk5i+C0iABasically equip any "Fiery" prefix weapon. You can replace Deft Strike with any melee range skill if you use a melee weapon an swap the weapon spell for whatever you like (keep in mind it needs to be kept up indefinitely unless you have a hero do it for you). You may want a BiP hero to help with energy regen.OAej0xgDJTOMMMHMIbKbsizTzkASimilar concept, but dagger spam. OAeiIykMRsh54NV5MAyMNBdxAAOne example of a DWG build. Basically summon the Destruction spirit and Destructive Was Glaive ashes, then get in position and bomb the fuck out of the area with Ancestor's Rage, Rupture Soul, and dropping Glaive.
>>1688176that's the thing, you don't. Accept your fate as ST bot or SoS bot. Or Rit lord which is kind of just ST too.
>>1688176Get over to Nightfall and capture Destructive was Glaive and get to bombing dudes.
>>1687788This is in half an hour. You'd better all be there.You can still come even if you're no in the guild.
we need last for UW hop on!!!
>>1687788FUCK I forgotsorry bros

even though i am a social outcast i fear i may not be insane enough to fit in with you folk
>>1688803pious is a killing machine
>>1688806who cars, just join the guild and come by if there's a cool group thing you couldn't do otherwisethere's no initiation rites or requirement to go proselytize in spamadan or anything>>1688812undead 2x holy damage merchant
>>1688806we are the 1% of generals that somehow manage to have zero/little drama. maybe the guild not originally being a /v/ guild helped with that lolz
i thought the requirement is to be racist at least a little bit
>>1688997You don't have to be, just don't be annoying if we choose to make racist jokes.
I don't understand how to beat Dhuum.I've never been able to do it.
>>1688997the requirement is to not be so deferentially self-conscious that you uncap your I's
>>1688836what undead?
>>1689027https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Undead_sensitivity_to_Lightsmites, skellies, dream riders, spectres, etc
>>1689031holy might only hit for 25 on them and my scythe was doing physical no heart of holy flame
>>1689041I lied, none of the underworld ghosts like smites and dream riders take double holy damagebut if they did take double damage aohm would do 25 extra per enemy per pious strip, which is a ton
>>1689062i went and fucked with it cause the wiki page said its passive to players and i couldn't tell that much and skeles do take double but smite and other stuff didnt i was gonna say im a dps whore if i could get more i would
>>1689075bro whattake some vitamin e, vitamin c, a melatonin, and go to bed
>>1689080no
>>1688176Spirit's Strength + Anniversary spawning power bow tends to be a more active playstyle you can do some truly FILTHY things with a bow build, either going for multi hit attacks to have splinter weapon nuke parties, or going for something like a bow spam build and murdering the shit out of anything that goes below 50% HP. Even sillier if you can convince a player to bless you with GDW.There's some fun builds you can do with DwG I haven't looked at what >>1688204 posted but I'm like 95% sure I know what build he's talking about.>>1688718>rebirthAxxon with the hard carry. Also oh shit Lord Roberts joined you guys I see him around now and then but haven't heard from him in months, he's even still got his prog hog. Happy you guys managed to get a full party >>1688806Frankly if I didn't know this was a 4chan guild I wouldn't suspect it I don't know how we've managed to avoid schizo's for so long especially given that this is a 20 year old game that hasn't gotten content updates in 13+ years so you'd expect the number of autists to be higher than usual. You'll fit in fine, we have basically no requirements and people don't get angry at sub optimal play or running wacky builds. We once had a guy show up to HA (competitive 8v8 PvP) missing 30 attribute points, wearing unruned armor, having never played air ele before and we made it work.>>1688997Not really, only requirements are read thread - we do all our planning here. And don't be obnoxious.>>1689014Join us for a future UW run no prior experience is necessary. But for Dhuum there is basically 2 bar's to be aware of - Dhuum's Rest which needs to be filled for the fight to end, and Dhuum's HP. The 6 reaper NPC's cast spells which increase dhuum's rest bar, if a player/hero dies they become a ghost and can help fill it which speedrun strats often do. After dhuum's rest bar is max you need to get dhuum's HP below 25% for fight to end.
do i have to research classes/skills or can i just go in blind? from what i understand is that you dual spec, would i brick my character if i picked the wrong second spec?
>>1689241if you start in prophecies there are 6 classes, I'd take a couple minutes to read a little blurb and the description of their attribute lines before you pick one, but not much more than that. there's a list here https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Profession#List_by_installationyou can try all the different secondaries before locking one in during the tutorial, and then you can change at will after about half the game. you also can't really fuck up too bad because most builds only use their secondary for a little utilityfor example you might go /monk to get a reusable resurrect, or /mesmer to get an interrupt, or /elementalist to get some energy
>>1689241this is from the manual that came with the game
>tfw when gwen doesnt give me her tapestry shred
Idea: we do one or two dungeons a weekend (in the dungeon book order) in HM but the twist is we can only use builds within one attribute.
>>1689080ok i got some sleep you had me convinced there was some secret holy/undead mechanic i didn't know about but now i see the wiki page was just saying some undead take double and some dont yes my brain is smooth plz forgive lmao
I'm awake now wawaa post here when you're ready to do those asuran quests.
>>1689397good morning sweet prince I need two hours
>>1689404ok
>>1689348Sounds good to me.
>>1689134Nah we barely had anyone die. In fact I think I was the only one who ever did cause I overextended and got greedy
>>1688176I run my ritualist as Rt/W with Grasping Was Kuurong and Renewing Smash. Giving yourself splinter weapon is nice for unga bunga
There's surely something they can do on the anniversary update that will make the game active again, no? There's so much good content going to waste that virtually no one is doing together anymore.
>>1689652To bring in fully new players? No unless they do a retarded soulless HD remake or some trash. Games too old for people without nostalgia generally.For the existing players or recent players, maybe some kind of token you get when running a mission, dungeon, or vanquish with other players? Make the token go towards some new apparel or a weapon set that's casting weapons aren't locked to those primary attributes. Announce gw3 and have HoM count for that too.
>>1689652The game is arguably at its current most active over the past recent years.
>>1689652if developers could just make people play then there wouldn't be new online games dying with lower playerbases than current gw1anet probably doesn't even want to drive people over en masse, the average gw1 player spends $10-40, a whale spends like $150 lifetime. a gw2 whale can spend $150 every month as long as they're locked in and have people around them to flex to
>>1689408fuck I fell asleep after gym just woke updo you wanna game around the time we gathered for UW yesterday? I have to get some shits out the way before tomorrow
>>1689819Sure, i'll see you in three hours.
>>1689652I'd say add a new elite mission. We've been doing UW/FoW/DoA for years on end. These are always a huge impulse to the game because: (i) new items, (ii) new area, (iii) new team tactics for nerds to theorycraft over for the next decade. Same goes for new dungeons, that would add a lot to the game as well - there's only so many froggy and bds runs you can do before you go nuts.It worked for Oldschool Runescape - introduce new content without breaking the core game mechanics, and watch the playercount soar. Maybe a new title too? Something like "Complete every elite mission in Hard Mode under 30 minutes". Also, someone a few threads back had a cool idea for pre-searing - add hard mode and a dungeon-y area once you hit LDoA. There's a whole lot that could be added with rather insignificant effort.Add a ladder for Random Arenas and introduce exclusive weapons/headpieces as rewards.
I'm looking at the costs to kit out a full merc mesmerway these days with just nick gift money. Holy FUCK did the economy shift since like september. Back then I was able to get literally everything, prodigies and sup vigs and all, for 3 weeks of nick gifts. Now it's like 10 weeks.
>>1689897>the economy shiftthat's one way to phrase "people stopped running those factions rune farm bots"
>>1689915it's that, and the selling price of a gott went from 7e to 6e, and ecto went from around 16e per 100k to 24e per 100k. The big runes doubled in price but that's only like half the story. Iron did collapse in that time, so the bots probably shifted to that for a bit.
>>1689348I'm intrigued perhaps we have people pick a class or 2 to lock in with that week, then on Friday we roll dice to decide which attributes each profession will be using? How will PvE only and no attribute skills work with this?>>1689897Ecto economy collapses during Shing Jea Boardwalk events as everyone in game cashes out on ectos to buy tickets. Depending on how long you are willing to wait it'll probably improve around October.
>>1689988>lock in>sign up >guarantee of being present ahead of timesorry bucko, this does NOT fit with the bawwway guidelines
>Capture an Avatar on my Reaper's Sweep build>Prepare to run around and have fun with double elites>Avatar makes your attack animations hideous and deletes the unique Reaper's Sweep animationWhat's the point of using Avatar skills if they're going to fuck up your cool scythe animations?
>>1689998Mostly just to avoid people shying away from attribute lines it'd be pretty boring if mesmer rolls domination magic so everyone decides to play mesmer that week rather than play water ele or wilderness survival ranger.
>>1689348Does that mean not even putting points into a different attribute or just no skills? Cause a necro with 0 soul reaping sounds ass.
>>1690035Yeah, I feel like we should just do "don't run something meta" instead. Certain profs will suffer greatly without their primary.
techno just absolutely raping my fantasy team this event
>>1690171worry less about counterstrike and more about countering moebius strike in ra
I want them to change weapons of three forges to apply the next weapon spell to all allies in earshot. Combo it with GDW and a minion master in the party, maybe a petway comp
This game is pretty :] I think I'll have a lot of fun discovering the world like I did with GW2.Btw how big of a decision is the second class I was just offered? Should I look at build guides at all or just go with what I think sounds fun or interesting?
>>1690411you eventually get to change your second class, and after that you can change it whenever you want. so it's only an investment for the early stages of the game
>>1690411you can try out all the secondaries before picking onewhat primary class did you pick?
>>1689821here
>>1690411You can change your secondary prof about 2/3 through Prophecies.If you have no clue, taking /Mo solely for a re-usable resurrection skill isn't the worst choice.
>>1690436Ranger
>>1690447expertise lets you do builds with energy-based touch skills and attacks, so necro and war might be more appealing than usual
>>1689988don't think we need locking in or dice, it would be fun actually if we get say two eles and one is running earth and the other water or something, as long as everyone uses skills within one attribute only, to be seen if we are cool with using pve skills but they would make stuff like rragars too easy if we are just echo chaining vanguard sniper >>1690035yeah just skills that have the same attribute (or no attribute to have some more flexibility)
>>1690447You'll probably get best use out of /W, /Me, /N, or /Mo.Secondary professions are typically just tapped into for the utility.You can totally mainline warrior melee and necro touch with the use of Expertise like >>1690458 says, but I'd be worried that might be too much for a newbie to start with./W will give you survivability and utility through the Tactics line. Mesmer will give you much the same through the Inspiration line (particularly thinking of the mantras and resistances), and /Mo for a hard resurrect if things hit the fan.
>>1690467ranger is self sustainable he doesn't even need a secondary at this point
>>1690475doesn't hurt to give yourself the option of bunny thumping or touchspamming
>>1690492sure but imho he wont be touching or thumping until maguuma or so, need to get a hang of mechanics and stuff and shit
>>1690475/W is good just for frenzy honestly.
>>1690503you get vamp touch in preit's not a college course, "this skill says touch, I can pump blood magic instead of wilderness survival and put it on my bar"
Thanks for the tips
>>1690535join the guild
Can you still perma farm as Assassin? I get deleted.
>>1690982What are you trying to farm and what build are you using?
can rangers do big dick dps? i have this memory in my mind that they look kewl and pets are kino but they suck in pve, but mentally i probably wasnt far off being legally retarded when i last played all that time ago. bonus points if i can be le beast master. id also be interested in a rough tier list of profession dps if one of you could be bothered
>>1691150yes there are broken endgame ranger buildsyou're returning to the game? if you don't really remember things I'd use the opportunity to do a blindish playthrough and experimentbuildcrafting is fun and you can't put the genie back in the bottle once you know what skills and builds are op
>>1691171yeah i made a new ranger for that, clawing through prophecies atm but didnt realize how slow it is to accumulate skills the old fashioned way.also how big is the /vm/ guild? im an oce fag so im guessing itll be pretty dead for me?
>>1691175we have to regularly delete dead members to invite new members and there are at least ~10 people around on a weekly basis logging in
>>1691175>didnt realize how slow it is to accumulate skills the old fashioned wayyou doing skill quests?first half of the game you can get like 90% of skills free
kinya province maballs
just came back for the first time since 2010 and i forgot how much the factions campaign can suck my balls
>>1691361t. melee shitter
>>1691365durr i'm a windy area full of invisible crippling traps that some dipshit planted like four minutes ago and wandered away
>>1691372spec antidote signet or some shit idk
>>1691178might ditch the normie guild i got invited to and try get an invite in a few hours when i get on then>>1691190ohhh yeah thats probably it. i was getting super impatient to be honest, wanting to go to all the nostalgic areas i remember and get the fuck away from ascalon and yaks bend
>>1691424a monk asked togo about prophecies"should I not leave old ascalon, for the nostalgic joy of the unseared areas?"the master replied "unless you stay in old ascalon, there is no joy in leaving it"at that moment the monk was enlightened
Anyone on that can ginv me? my char is "danny the unbroken"
>>1690459frankly echo chaining sniper is the least of my worries with PvE only skills :P, I mostly just want people to really jump into the build craft aspect as opposed to "well my dom mesmer is running 6 dom magic skills anyway, so I may as well just slap 2 more dom skills on this bar", ele is basically that anyway you run AoR which is optional and easily replacable with PvE factions skill and 7 single attrib skills.Perhaps a compromise - there are 18 dungeons in EotN you can play any attribute line you want, but the twist is you cannot use the same elite twice and your skills must be in a single attribute line. We might need to make exceptions for para/derv for them to be allowed to use elites in their primary attribute due to them only having like 2-3 elites in some attribute lines but most other classes have a very healthy amount.>>1691548logging on to do that now
>>1691618Why not just do "everyone bring something unusual" and we can all vote to veto a build that's too plain before we leave.
>>1691764>okay everyone ping your builds>17 hours of votes and vetoes later>okay we're almost ready
>>1691766You'd only call out someone who's using something too meta.
>>1691770I'd call out everyone using a skill that a Henchman doesn't use. Let's go all out.
>>1691772We could just do "henchmen build" night.
>>1692007I like that
>>1692007That's actually a cool idea.https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Henchman
>>1692026Just exclude the PvP henchies.
>>1691770Ehhh I don't really like having to call people out for that sort of thing there are some attribute lines where its hard to avoid the meta and telling people to redesign their builds on the spot while 7 other people in party waiting to go will suck>>1692007I'm down for that
>pvxwiki is a fandom wiki now
PvE skills should be available on Heroes.
>>1692122Which ones would you use if you could?
>>1692197heroic refrain
>>1692197GDW if you are running a melee class maybe ranger with TaO as well.battle standard of wisdom (and maybe time warp) if you are a caster.HR sounds like a good idea but the problem is the AI won't know how to maintain it so you'll lose it every fight and it won't be on half the party majority of time.
>>1692208AI already maintains it with anthem of flamebesides, once somebody else casts it, I can maintain it myself
>>1692221Apparently they don't maintain it with Anthem of Weariness. I tried to do that on one of my heroes because they could actually get some points in command and he wouldn't use it out of combat.Irrelevant to your point but I thought it was interesting.
Cons should be removed from the game.
>>1692412lowkey nothing worse than pugging an easy zm and some dude instapops cons worth more than the quest reward to trivialize the whole thingtf are you even playing the game for
>>1692197HR para would instantly replace the SoS in the meta, with access to TNtF and SY. Your backline is now ST+BiP+HRGDW replaces splinter weapon entirely Summon spirits would really improve STEternal Aura could be probably worth in a flex slot somewhere in certain hard areas, assuming it doesn't get strippedEVAS spam will get crazyYMLaD, finish him, and you are all weaklings are all good enough that they could replace a lot of middling skills in builds.
>>1692445Had dudes popping that for unwaking waters. Kuuna doesn't even leave if your DPS is fast enough.
>>1692412>>1692122Based.
>>1692007>>1692026could add norn fighting tournament too
>>1692026I love this. I therefore propose that the next Saturday, 29 March, be Henchmen Saturday. We do the first dungeon in the book - Cathedral of Flames - and if we have enough stamina and time, Rragar's. To spice things up I say if we don't have a full eight we run the group we have, no randoms or heroes, to make things more difficult.>>1692789Invite him to the guild!!
>>1692208You bring up some good points. But to be fair, Heroic Refrain would pale in comparison to the other shit that you can pull off if Heroes could get access to PvE skills. Just seed of life alone the Lightbringer skills would be enough to run DoA HM without consumes.
>>1692820>if we don't have a full eight we run the group we have, no randoms or heroes, to make things more difficult>no randoms or heroesaren't you forgetting a third possible option for party members
>>1692122Either that or get rid of the 3 limit.
>>1692122>>1692831it's already op, why do you want it even more brokenthe controversial right idea is taking all that shit out of the game
One PvE skill limit.
>>1692852yesand that pve skill is signet of capture
HM but the skill bar is only four skills
>>1692961Some many threads ago we talked about doing something like that for a prog where you could only have up to 4 skills per profession on your bar.

>>1694097outplayed
is this worth anything
>>1694365Maybe, chaos axe tends to be more popular but axe builds by in large are kinda in a weird place since they were mostly played in PvP which is dead on a class that's not as meta relevant as it once was.If this was 2012, 100% worth a shitload, today it depends if you can find a buyer, it's definitely worth something it's just up to you if you are patient enough to find someone.>>1694097Jeez scrubby you made that guy look like a FOOL

>>1694813>Telling him to use dagger spammer heroesDevilish
>>1695075dagger spam on heroes isn't the worstI mean, melee AI is retarded, but as long as they're attacking stuff they do solid damage
Need to pick some people's thoughts about this.This picture isn't updated, I replaced Mark of Rodgort with mirror of disenchantment, and ash blast with magnetic aura.Basically the problem I've encountered is I'm considering how much energy storage I should stick on this team. For people unfamiliar with this team, this team abuses hero AI usage of arcane mimicry to only copy elite's from attributes they use, so all the heroes are copying Ele Attunement. Between this and AoR + Attunement means the heroes can spam skills as fast as they want and not run out of energy.However 2 problems. 1) Arcane mimicry only starts recharging after the elite disappears (lasts 20 seconds) and it has 60 second recharge 2) The heroes will only cast Ele attunment once, not off cooldown. This means at 13 Energy Storage Ele attunement only lasts 55 seconds + 11 (+20% enchant staff). That leaves 14 seconds of downtime, between that and potential heavy enchant strips areas worried it might not be enough, I could boost my estorage to +3 for 60 + 12 for 8 seconds of downtime (or +3 +1 for 62 + 14 for 6 seconds downtime). Debating if I should do that, or if I should replace my bottom mesmer with a N/Me running BiP with all other skills identical, or a Me/N running BiP so I can maintain my fast casting. Or if I should instead of using this build on my Mesmer, play this team on my ele character instead which would free up a spot on team for a N/Rt support as backup.Thoughts?
invite them to the guild
They don't make 'em how they used to...Yup...

ritualist is a good class for a new player to start with because you can get an entire good midline and backline out of channeling and restoration, which is worth a lot with how tight-fisted this fucking game is with basic skills5/7 of my heroes are /rt and using almost no skills from their primary
>>1696881that's an underrated logistical thingif you're not playing in a reddit/discord/gwpvx-speedrun "buy these 20 skills and never touch it again" type of way, playing a campaign as a rit gives you enough skills to build caster dps, heals, prots, buffs, spirit dps, etc. bars
i sure do like using sever artery + gash
>>1697102based koss
>im not like other girls
>>1697079One of these days I really should level something on my alt account. I've had so many of the skills unlocked for my heroes do so long. It'd be interesting to give myself those restrictions again. Really hope we get an iron man mode for the anniversary.
>>1697399>Really hope we get an iron man mode for the anniversary.I don't understand, what's stopping you?
>>1697400I usually get bored of self imposed challenges in games. Cause at some point I just think to myself what am I doing. But at least for other games, having actual rulesets enforce it, potentially with benefits for doing so, really helps me not lose interest.
>>1697401Fair enough.
>>1697399Iron man mode would be nice so that I don't have to constantly alt tab to check which skills I'm allowed to buy from a trainer. Making skill unlocks personal to a character would also be great for having to go through the process of building an entire hero team from scratch. Keeping track of which skills I'm 'allowed' to use in an iron man hero team is obnoxious.
>>1697416Yeah that's the kind of thing I'm talking about. The idea of a lot of self imposed challenges is cool but the logistics of managing them is frequently so tedious to me that it ruins the fun part. Official support would be cool. Maybe some options on making storage deposit only and traders are sell only, vs not at all allowed. Player trading i think should always be disabled, but I'm not sure how they handle going into a zone together and just dropping your shit on the ground.
OMG! It's tomorrow! Henchman Saturday is tomorrow!Chat, this is crazy. There's even a whole table with timings for each time zone ( >>1696693 ) - wow!!!

>>1698659yall got any of dem dere pixels
Haven't played since like 2009 but I'm getting an itch to slowly fulfill my young self's dream of getting GWAMM and making progress towards 50/50 HoM. A friend told me you can get GWAMM in under 1k hours nowadays? Sounds a little wild to me but who knows how much the game has changed, or maybe we've just become much better at it.Anyway, Assassin or Mesmer? I'm planning on soloing it with heroes for the time being, which one's going to give me more options or make my life easier?
>>1698667Mesmer for sure.
>>1698667mesmer, although for getting everything you could pick any class but mesmer is gonna give you way more active options to not get bored
>I'm planning on soloing it with heroes
>>1698667GWAMM is a marathon, so you gotta like what you're playing. One way to do that is play a profession that is flexible so you get variety of gameplay. Mesmers definitely more flexible than assassin for doing missions and vanquishes.
>>1698667mesbut start by just playing through a campaign and enjoying it. gwamm completionism kinda makes shit feel like a job after a while
>>1698681You REALLY expect people to do all this vanquishes together? No shot people do jokos domain. The missions yeah you can get em all done via zm over the course of like 3 months. ZVs aren't nearly as popular.
>>1698689REALLY
Is it worth playing mesmer if youre an aus fag with 200+ ping? i remember maining it as a kid but realistically id want to be able to hit interrupts no? should i just leave it to a hero instead
>>1698726make a pvp mes then go to the zaishen challenge and see how bad it ismes has interesting non-rupt skills, but being able to rupt is nice
>>1698628gemmy
>>1698726Asia servers were brought back into the game a year or 2 ago it's possible your ping might be lower on them try it out. If it's not possible there is lots of different mesmer builds out there that don't require you to have fast ping to play, there is also lots of stuff you can do to make it easier to land interrupts such as having heroes run skills like arcane conundrum, frustration, stolen speed, migraine etc... these all slow down the speed of enemies casting.
I haven't coomed in 5 days (my personal best) and every time I go to Kamadan I cant help but look at those big fat, perfect ele tits. They're just waiting to be SUCKED ON

soft bailing?on hertatitties?shame on you elonians
>>1699672
What is your biggest issue with the game?For me it's the garbage loot system.
>>1699774what's wrong with the garbage loot
>>1699786I mean, I have done over 100 UW and no eternal blade? The loot system has always been garbage. You literally throw away 99.99% of the loot you get. Mostly talking about weapons of course.
>>1699791that's how rarity works though, if you wanted to make skin drops more common, you'd have to lock mods to weaponsI'd rather have the salvage system, mods and materials
>>1699791if there wasn't super rare stuff what would be the point of doing it 100 times
>>1699801Except for the fact that literally no one is doing UW of FOW or anything these days.
>>1699812no one's doing much of anything compared to when the game had a million playersI know people that regularly do fowsc. part of it is that it's fun and challenging, but if it was pure expense for cons and pcons they probably wouldn't
I wish there was a mid point between .000000000076 drop chance and "150 Arms pst"That's all.
>>1696792one>>1699615two>>1699672three>>1699714maybe fourplus another who I know had something come up, and only a couple people online nowI think we're bailing for the week and having henchmen saturday next saturday, sorry henchbros

>>1702522OHFUCK
>>1702512I was curious about this so I checked the manual for LORE and as far as I can tell, they have no particular reason for their behavior, they're just chuds.>The Stone Summit are a guild of xenophobic dwarves who live high up in the Shiverpeak Mountains. Their hatred of other cultures (particularly humans) runs so deep that they won't even deal with other dwarf clans who have trading relationships with the human nations.>There is only one group worthy of ruling the world—the Stone Summit. All other life is meaningless.>The Stone Summit have a penchant for slavery. If given the opportunity, they would enslave humans and other "non-pure" dwarves as well.
>>1702522gzwhat attribute?
>>1702555q9 divine
>>1702522NOICE
>>1702553>they're just chudsthey're just like me fr
>>1702561>Not great, not terrible
>>1702553Do you know if there is any Lore at all about the Charr heading West? (Other than Rise of the White Mantle, that is). I played Proph 20 years ago, so I don't remember if there was much in game. I know there's story about it in gw2 because of Orr resurfacing and all that.
>>1702561Dunkoro will like it
>>1702572My understanding is that after the searing, Charr just marched straight through Ascalon and btfo'd Orr instantaneously. I don't know a whole lot about what went on in Kryta. I assume they fucked shit up until the Mursaat stepped in. I know the royal family fled when the Charr invaded, but that's all.
>>1702572The human kingdoms were all weakened after the many long proxy wars between nationally-affiliated guilds called the Guild Wars. After the charr broke through the defenses of Ascalon keeping them out of civilized lands, there was nothing to stop them from marching on the other weak human kingdoms.The war party sent to Orr got BTFO by Vizier Khilbron (as did the whole continent). The royalty in Kryta fled but the charr war party that went to Kryta ended up getting BTFO by Spectral Agony instead.There's nothing really more to note about it. It's just charr being savage niggers wanting to destroy and pillage because they're beasts.
>>1699909>>1699922damnit our guild touches too much grass>>1699791Better than GW2 where that is LITERALLY what happens but instead it's 99.999%. At least in GW1 you can get good mods to steal, or you can get the item you are looking for but it's stats aren't correct. Again if you think these drop odds are bad, go play GW2.>>1702522oh shit nice, 2nd frog scepter this guild's gottenI will see you parabros tomorrow for our final NF campaign prog.
>>1703045>The human kingdoms were all weakened after the many long proxy wars between nationally-affiliated guilds called the Guild Warsomg!!
>frog scepter so bad it got memoryholed
>>1703321I got several precursors in gw2 from drops.I've never gotten a "rare" skin in gw1And I played them both in pretty much the same way.Doesn't mean much but we don't get to pick our luck.
>>1703339several precursor dropsFrom what? Throwing dozens- hundreds of gold into the mystic forge? That's like buying 100+ GotT and saying red candy drops aren't that bad. I've played that game for 8000 hours, gotten a single precursor drop (it wasn't even a good one either) most people I know haven't gotten one.
>>1703350Drops as in drops. From enemies.I had 4 as drops from enemies in 5 years of playing gw2 ( don't know my hours, I haven't logged in for nearly 10 years). In 5,066 hours of GW1, I've never had a "rare" skin drop. I've never had a skin where ectos or arms were involved in the price of it.I'm not really arguing anything, except that both games are absolutely filled with garbage when you get right down to it.
>>1703380Disagree completely, maybe your luck is just absurd, but these drops are so rare I remember back when people would post them on the forums that they had one drop, conflating the 2 is absurd. Like this is genuinely rare enough that I could ask my entire GW2 guild back when I was running a 500 person WvW guild and we'd maybe have 5 people total in the guild that had gotten one. It's that rare getting 4 without using the mystic toilet would make you the luckiest person I have ever met in my 8000 hours of playing that game. Like you can go on the forums now and there are people nearing 10k hours who still haven't gotten a precursor drop despite it being able to drop from EVERY enemy in the game that is how low it is. https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/topic/44317-precursor-drops/I've played about 5000 hours in GW1, gotten MANY more rare drops in that time (farmed my own DSR, farmed my own storm bow, farmed my own chaos axe and few other items) I've helped and watched guild members get BDS drops and few other dungeon drops in the past. 3~ years and maybe 1-2k hours playing this game.
>>1703397I also got 2 from the toilet.I guess I never really thought about how lucky it was because besides the precursors (which eventually people could just make) I don't think I got any "jackpot" drops.
>>1703409Yeah the toilet is the "spend 100 gold to make 120 gold" method if you flush enough money down it you'll eventually get a drop. I've seen people in this very small guild of maybe 20 active people get froggys, BDS, DSR and more in my time running this guild than I have infusions/precusors in my entire time spending 8 years running a GW2 guild with 5X more active players playing the game like it was a second job. That is why I don't think it's an honest comparison, I can spend 100 hours running SoO with the boys and we will see a few BDS drops. I could spend 1 full year playing 1 hour a day with 50 people and I'd be LUCKY to see a single infusion or precursor drop. The drop rates in that game aren't just bad, they are obscene. Sorry for the spergout my time in GW2 has given me awful autistic knowledge and made me very ranty about all the problems that game has (rewards is one of the BIGGEST problems in GW2 that has been a problem since day 1 in that game and anet has still somehow not managed to solve).
>>1703415Maybe my account was a luckbringer in GW2, because I definitely saw some rare drops there.I was present for a Bee Infusion drop and one from the Gerent (I don't even remember what it was called)But see the other side is, I have never seen anything in GW1. So your experience and mine are completely swapped. The only honest comparison is that luck can't be measured.
I had a precursor and a black lion key drop in my first year playing GW2 a couple years back. I've never gotten anything good in GW1 because I'm just starting it now.
Weird, there's faggots talking about this "gw2" in my GW thread.
>>1703460You'll get over it, eventually, once the stick comes out.
so what should i be doing to make money, as a new player? material farms? i've found a couple of prodigy's insignias which is nice but holy shit superior vitaes are 85 plat
>forgot to finish farming nicksetoh well>>1703499>https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Nicholas_the_Traveleryou can farm random items for this NPC and get up to 5 (five) Gifts of the Traveler on a weekly basis, which contain random sometimes rare items and usually represent a stable means of resource to exchange for currency. You should also consider checking out the dailies (mission, bounty, etc.) which are normally ran by real players if you can't solo complete the objective yourself.>https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Daily_activities
>>1703499Don't worry about Superior Vigors, they are basically a luxury item. Farm Gifts of the Traveler any week that you can access them, you can sell these for some ecto which you can sell to the Rare Material Trader to start gearing up.If you bought the collectors edition, use /bonus to get some items. Most of them are junk, but the Clockwork Staff is a perfectly serviceable caster weapon to start with. You can keep deleting and remaking to get more.
where is it getting this misinformation from?

>>1703563>order food for pickup>email confirmation comes in>"AI" summary taking up the entire screen says order will be ready for pickup tomorrow>scroll down>"Your order will be ready in 15-20 minutes"What's a good email provider these days?

>>1703544i want the tip for beating consulate docks or varish
>>1703560its chatgpt4>>1703563>>1703575honestly ive found it pretty bang on for science work. i guess for this it could be scouring super old retarded forums or something though
>>1703664fwiu, AIs will be trained more rigorously on data that is used frequently or is considered by its developers to be more important. there will be centers specifically devoted to topics like, e.g., physics or biology or whatever. but for guild wars, it's probably just scraping shit off the web. I don't think it's getting this info from some 17-year-old guild wars guru thread where people thought halls of chokhin was a mission. AI just naturally invents random shit and loses the plot all the time, because LLMs do not store or process information, per se. AFAIK they just store and regurgitate word patterns, with the goal of providing something that satisfies a human reader. and when you can do 20 billion calculations and have an enormous set of data on which previously generated sentences did or did not satisfy humans, you can do a good job of predicting which word you need to write next, based on the current context, to satisfy your current reader.
I've run SoO and the catacombs over a 100+ times each in the last 2 decades. Never seen a BDS or EB once. Meanwhile I've run raven's point less than a half a dozen times and have gotten 2 of its unique drops. A q9 eaglecrest axe and now this, I swear the game is fucking with me.
>>1703499For new players sup vigor is a trap mostly. The difference between major and sup vigor is 9hp while the difference in their cost is cosmic. And if you're ever at 9hp then you're probably already dead.

I've never had a skin where ectos or arms were involved in the price of it.this is statistically impossible>>1703499as a new player your priority should be to finish all campaigns and get r5s in eotn ranks/eotn pve skills then you can go on to set your metaway heroes, runes first and 40/40 sets off kurzick/luxon weaponsmiths second >>1703321I think we got four frogs in total to date
>>1703499You don't need to strictly follow what meta guides tell you. Runes and equipment are all beat-case optimization. You can breeze through all content with base heroes alone.
Anyone have a good plan for farming stone grawl necklaces?
>>1703946>this is statistically impossibleI don't know what to tell you. If I ever got something rare I'd be using it.
>>1703499Do zaishen dailies and sell gold zaishen coins for ectoFarm (or buy if time is tight) your Nick sets and turn them in for gifts of the traveler, sell those for ectoFarm extra Nick sets and sell those to other playersLearn a farm like feather farming in jaya bluffs, vaettir farm, missing daughter or halcyon job farming. Look up Peter Kadar on youtube for some guides and buildsDon't worry about gearing heroes with prodigy insignias or superior vigor runes just yet. Get the attribute runes and weapons and a minor/major vigor first.
>>1703988I don't think that they have any stance or enchant removal. That said, you need high damage to deal with healers. I haven't gone at them solo yet (got some necklaces in a small party with guildies a couple days ago), but preliminary thoughts:flashing blades sin will probably work. 15/16ths block chance with critical defenses + flashing blades, and dagger spam should outpace heals. This is the first thing I'm going to try, so I'll get back to you on how it goes.typical invincimonk builds will probably not die, but may not be able to kill fast enough to deal with healers. If you get a big group and prevent scattering, you may be able to overcome healing. I may try 55hp VoR or SS build if my sin doesn't work out and see how it goes.wammo with defensive stances and enchants may work. soothing fucks adrenal builds, grawl champions are weak to blunt, so perhaps warrior's endurance hammer is good here? I thought back breaker -> renewing smash to spike healer and not let them rupture soul on you might work, but it will take 1 gorillion years to build the adrenaline for back breaker and paras run "Brace Yourself!". /Rt for weapon of aggression + sight beyond sight might work, since you'll probably want stances for blocking and so need another source of IAS, and rit also gives you (limited) blind immunity for killing healers. Run 20% ench mod for higher SBS uptime. Soldier's Stance + Asuran Scane for high block chance + IAS may be an option.Bring as many P/D or D/P heroes for cautery signet (you will get spammed with blind when you go for healers due to rupture soul) and for healing as you can. You may want a couple of "real" heroes to help fight your way to the farming spot, but you can avoid most fights on your way there. or multibox with a running character, which will also help you reset the zone quickly after the farm. Just flag everybody to res shrine when you begin the farm.
>>1703988okay, flashing blades sin works fine. Stone elementals in large enough groups can be trouble (I died once to a group of 4 of them), because irresistible blow fucks you if you block and earth shaker fucks you if you don't. Could bring IaU to make them easier, but it's probably not worthwhile since you'd lose SoH and killing everything would go slower. I recommend engaging them with no block stances and just trying to spike them down ASAP. Disengage and come back at them when they're out of adrenaline if you really need to. Most groups of them are small or can be avoided, though.As long as you put enough pressure on grawl healers, they will not blind you and instead will just spam heals on themselves. I killed the warrior boss group with 2 healers without much trouble. I haven't tried the ritualist boss group with a gorillion healers yet, it's probably not possible to outDPS them without a lot of careful pulling that isn't worth the time.

>>1704734its crazy how shit paragon armor is. maybe they did it last and just could be bothered
>>1704734Our final builds for the prog. Overall this prog was a lot of fun it was really cool experimenting with different lesser used para skills and seeing how they interacted with eachother. I was strongly considering toward the end swapping to a echo build where I would echo "Go For The Eyes" and use arcane mimicry to steal soldier's fury so I could maintain AoE 100% crit chance on every attack but given how many of us were running Go For The Eyes, and how much I like "The Power Is Yours" elite decided not to go with it.The starburst para build was probably my favorite, but the P/R Strike as One para was the most effective build on our team that flamingo did WORK. Shoutout to our boy sologon first time anyones ever brought him through all of NF.Our next prog will take place after anniversary sometime in mid-late May, next week on Monday at 7:30 PM we are going to do FoW with para's all non para's are welcome to come too. Did people enjoy the distribution of tomes weekly for buildcraft options, or was it too much? Also do we want to do a normal prog in May or another silly prog like this with some strange ruleset, another 1 profession is always on the table but if people have other ideas I'm open I think using these weird restrictions resulted in way more creative builds being made.
>>1704779A normal iron man prog would be fun imo. IDK if you guys do those often and are maybe tired of them, though. Never actually played with anybody here outside of randomly teaming with baww members for z missions.
>>1704779I'm up for any kind of prog, meme or not.

Awwyeah, dothead wojak shield here I come.

>>1705650>fire magic embercrest staffoh god please yes
>>1705620oh shit im kinda hyped now gotta keep it in check
>>1705620I don't like this, no new content? What do I care about a Singaporean staff or a Taiwanese coke shield... feels like a cop out. It's not even new items. Fuck that.
>>1705695You gotta believe or it won't happen, chud.
>>1705721Nothing ever happens.
>>1705732The searing happened
>>1705733That's because they didn't have chuds back then.
>>1705695It's disappointing but we were warned a few times not to expect new content, it's only 1 guy working on the game. Even back in 2020 for the 15th anniversary all we got was a few unimplemented elite skills (half of which are totally useless and need buffs) and a few weapons using different stats than normal most of which see 0 usage.This update is potentially adding in 15-30 new unique weapon skins into the game, many of which were so rare to see that the wiki itself doesn't have good quality pictures of them. Additionally promises of new non weapon related loot dropping could be neat. And the new quests could potentially be interesting content that needs teammates to beat. This is just what he's told us today could be more news being kept a secret till anniversary gets closer.It sucks we aren't getting GW Utopia but this game died back in 2012 when anet decided to kill it. If you were hoping for brand new content you haven't been paying attention for the last 13 years, this update doesn't change my love for the game.
>>1705740Adding HM to pre would take an hour, I'd know, my aunt works for Anet.
>>1705695you think they're gonna bring a team back to crank out gw utopia using code and tools and workflows that probably 0 people left at anet have ever used? people talking about remasters and shit were delusional, it's one dude fucking around. better than nothing
>>1705745I didn't say anything about GW Utopia. They could do a community event to design a new weapon set for example. Or introduce super-super-hardmode. Or iron man as a proper game mode. Plenty of possibilities that have been discussed here to date. Any of these would not require a significant lift on business' side. New elites and quirky anniversary weapons were much more important than old bonus weapons in terms of introducing some fresh air into the game. Imagine I'm attaching an image of a frog holding a "fact" sign.
>>1705752>they>As many of you know, I've been part-time game director, programmer, janitor, etc., for Guild Wars since 2018. I'm happy to report that starting two weeks ago my time allocated to Guild Wars changed from 10% to 80%. I'm very excited to focus much more of my time on Guild Wars. I'd like to thank the studio leadership for working with me to figure out how to allocate my previous duties and roles to other staff. I'd also like to give a shout-out to other long-tenured staff in the company who have helped me with their knowledge of how and why things work the way they do in Guild Wars.>I'd like to set your expectations appropriately - there is still a lot of work to do on our back-end systems so not everything I do will be visible to players. But I'm happy to say I've recently spent more time in-game and fixed some long-standing problems. The game is still in "maintenance mode" and there are no plans for new content.This was April of last year. This is the ONLY known nigga doing ANY work on the game.
>>1705752yeah I think adding ironman would be great, but it's possible that they have an old crufty shit system that they can't risk adding a special gamemode to (character creator change, gamerules change, npc interaction change, etc). adding superhardmode would need you to redesign+test everythingthe simplest thing is to add new quests with existing data, which is what they did. I'd bet that's what the one guy working on stuff has been doing for months>design a new weapon setI have 0 confidence in anet's ability to model and add anything, let alone a novel weapon set. 2015 and 2020 anniversary skins were all existing models. 2020 elites were gw2 skill icons

>>1705868Mod merchant lS a bad idea.
>>1705869I have no interest in protecting the interest of the rich. Sorry not sorry. Mod Merchant is a great idea for 99% of players.
>>1705877No. You have been proven completely wrong before. There are no "arm barons". You need immediate psychiatric help.
>>1705867>>1705868>>1705877you can get whatever mods you want right now, today, for like 20 plat. even if you don't farm or do scs or whatever, you ambiently have enough money to mod out a couple weaponsthis isn't even in the same universe as miniatures given out 19 years ago to 0.1% of the population
>>1705880>there are no rich players that control the in-game economy>which is why they're NOT melting down about minis right nowokay.
What are the chances of the elites from the 15th getting adjustments? Mostly the mesmer and ele ones
>>1705882dude you were """""""""proven wrong"""""""""" and *looks up other popular phrases amongst the 14-25yo crowd* you need meds!!!!!
>>1705877>>1705882mentally model an "arm baron" with methey're really rich, so rich that they have to keep their money in armbraces (dense 10000 ecto per item slot value), they want to protect their wealth, and their wealth is in.... 2 ecto/ weapon mods clogging up their storagedoes this make any sense to you? rich people are buyers who pay for convenience, they're the people who pay an ecto per blessed insig when the stock runs out, not the people standing in kamadan trying to make an ecto every other hour
>>1705882Yes. They are controlling the economy by wasting bank space with mods where 90% of them are worth 1 ecto maximum. How about you try that bullshit about "wanting to try out builds" again, when you can do that instantly, and for FREE, via a pvp character? Play the game. Don't want to? Fuck off. >>1705887I'm 42 years old.
>>1705892>How about you try that bullshit about "wanting to try out builds" again,You are the ONLY person who EVER brings this up.You do it pre-emptively every time.
>>1705894You literally (and I mean that literally, not figuratively) posited this as an argument for needing a mod merchant in-game. Seek help.
>>1705896Except, and you might not believe this somehow, I didn't.I know it makes you cry, but it is possible that more than 1 person disagrees with you.
mooooom there are arm barons under my bed I need a perfect weapon merchant with skins like eternal blade or voltaic spear nowwwwww I don't want to play this stupid game lollllllllllllll
>>1705892>I'm 42 years old.
>>1705900>and now he's doing the skin thing when I made it clear several times that I don't want rare skins to be affectedYou are a very tedious person.
>>1705636>>1705638It's probably some of the skins that are only on specific uniques or for pvp skins, the like skin Exuro's Will uses.
>>1705898Concession accepted. Thanks for (not) playing. There will never be a mod merchant and you will, unfortunately, have to play the game. I know it sucks but you will pull through.
Don't even bother with this troll. He's convinced in his mind that any small change is LITERALLY buying a BDS from a merchant no matter how unrelated.
>>1705905Okay good. You win. You can leave the thread now. No one wants you here.
>>1705908Cry more shithead.
we embedded an investigative report in spamadan to report in on the shadowy underworld of arm baronsyou may not believe it, but this man, trying to flip spear mods for 0.001219 of an arm at a time runs the entire economy. he hates YOU in particular, and wants to keep robots from muscling in on his turf and threatening his treasured collection of mini island guardians. we've seen xunlai chests burned, people thrown off that one bridge (you know the one), and innocent bystanders pressed into slavery and trafficked through dajkeh inlet for getting too close to the truthwe call on the sunspears, this man must be brought to justice
>>1705906Just don't feed the obligatory 2016+er whose immediate talking points involve everyone disagreeing with him needing to be on medication. As a psychfag who works with autistic patients irl I find this personally amusing you may as well be talking to a bot (Henchman)
>>1705910The idea that you can't count to two is frightening but not unexpected.

>>1705915While you sperg out about the arm barons and mod merchant, you're creating a scenario that I did not propose. No one did but you.Arm barons don't give a shit about weapon mods, we all know this, but for some reason it's the crux of your dumb as shit argument. >>1705918And then he equates wanting a cheaper alternative instead of relying on luck to being a "massive fucking loser".

>>1705932I made a typo, I'll rephrase:how does a mod merchant harm the interests of the rich, who would buy out the stock if they wanted something and then pay in ecto if it was unavailable, like they do with runes at the rune trader?

Bro we can barely keep black dyes in stock at the trader. How the fuck do you expect them to program a mod merchant that has to navigate between a 18% 19% and 20% mod?
>update attracts outer /vm/ to shit up the thread
>>1705942>outer /vm/Didn't know we could get more outer than here, honestly.
that's it I've mcfucking had it I'm joining LGIT you guys are dumb as shit. mod merchant would streamline the game and make it more enjoyable but you fossilized fucks still think it's 2008.
>>1705941I don't. I just think it's funny to make this guy sperg out. Obviously a mod merchant can't happen in the game as it stands. But it would be a great idea.>>1705942>is that someone who doesn't share all of my opinions? blasphemy!Go to your guild chat if you want an echochamber.

>>1705940but the people who take the time transparently aren't the rich. you can check kamadan chatlike if gold bioaccumulated like mercury does in fish and some indian peasant was the only person who took the time to sift through animal shit and sift it out, I'm not gonna go "this is a 1%er because he has 2 dollars worth of gold, occupy wallstreet now, reform the system" he's just the only person who cares enough to do it
>>1705941would only buy and sell max mods obviously
>>1705952>the market can be cornered but it's not a big deal because only a few people do itokay
>>1705954So what's the point of having non-perfect mods then? Will you remove them from the game? Might as well just remove drops altogether. We already have weapon merchants and with a mod merchant we wouldn't need a loot system.
Any chance of skill changes?
>>1705959>your first idea isn't perfect to me (a person who hates your idea)>might as well not bother at all!!Gee, you don't say?
>>1705955the market cannot be cornered, you just don't want to do something unpleasant and want it obfuscated awayif you just play the game a lot you'll get gold and purple drops, stash them over time and you never have to deal with them again. especially if you're willing to have a cosmetically imperfect but functionally identical mod

>>1706060which henchies are you bringing?
if yer not doin anything then LOG ON and idle with us while we talk about the update
>>1706060You are probably fighting multiple groups of enemies at once and massively over aggroing, because that's something that happens very easily in this quest. Aggro management is probably the single most important thing you can do as a player if you're playing with the AI companions.Enemies will wander around and aggro in groups. Sometimes (as in this quest) there are multiple groups all by each other. If you run in, you have to fight maybe 2 to 4 groups of enemies all at once, comprising something like 8 to 16 total enemies, which is going to get you killed. If you look at your compass, there's a small 'bubble' around your character. That's your aggro range. Enemies who fall into that bubble on the compass will aggro on to you. If you get a longbow or a flatbow, you can shoot enemies from outside this range. This lets you pull groups of enemies. However, your henchmen are retarded and will charge into the enemy group as soon as you begin shooting, ruining the entire process. To prevent this, use flagging.Along the bottom border of your compass, there's a series of icons with a flag, one has 3 dots and the others are labeled 1-3. The 1-3 flags are not usable with henchmen, but the 3 dots flag is. If you click on this flag, then click on the ground somewhere, you will order your henchmen to go stand by that position. Approach a group of enemies, staying just outside of aggro range. Flag your henchmen a ways behind you—perhaps the length of the aggro bubble or a bit less—and then shoot the enemy that is closest to you with your bow. It and its group should aggro on you and begin to approach. Back up while shooting once or twice more, then retreat all the way back to your henchies.You should now be able to fight a single group of enemies at a time instead of a whole shitton. If you are going to go through all of prophecies with just henchmen, there will be several quests/missions where you want to do this.
>>1705752>design a new weapon setThere is only 1 dev working on this game, he is not capable of modeling stuff>super-super-hardmodeAgain it's 1 dev who's primary job is server programmer and technical director. That sort of thing would likely be a bit outside of his scope depending on how indepth we'd go on what a super hardmode meant. Same thing with ironman mode.In all cases mentioned he would have to draw on anet resources to have them work on a system in an archaic engine built with spaghetti that nobody still living in the studio knows how to navigate, and with anet already splitting their resources to keep a skeleton crew on GW2 I don't think they'd be willing to split their resources a 3rd time for GW1 a decade later especially when none of the people who would work on it would be ones who were passionate about the game. DrStephen has his role because he was spending his free time working on GW1 out of passion he wasn't being paid for his work on this game for years, if other people at anet felt the same he wouldn't of been alone in working on it.I'm not and nobody here is disagreeing with you, any of those things would be welcome and would be cool but sometimes we have to stop inhaling hopium and accept reality as sad as it is.>>1705867look what you've done, we've already had a thread arguing about this lollinking my responses from last thread we had on this topic>>1680318 >>1680370 >>1706060Above commentor is completely right this section of the game really punishes people for not watching their agroo. I recommend finding a longbow and using it to pull enemy groups to you.

>>1706947ZV NOT ZB
I am OFFICIALLY proposing a Winds of Change HARD MODE group run.I have casually verbal interest from about five people.The only requirement is that you complete WoC in NM first.
>>1707008I have literally never done woc also didn't we try group woc and kinda wash out
>>1707012we tried and most of you all bailedthere's three of us ten quests away from finishing WoC NM together
>>1707012The big problem is NM WoC the first 10-12 quests are pretty boring and we wanted to do HM, but nobody had NM done so we would do the same quest like 2 times in one day.
>>1707008>woc I haven't done any WoC ever bruh.
>>1707012>>1707103Well, ummm, I guess I'd be fine doing WoC NM again too.It probably won't be as much of a challenge for us though.
>>1707106It's okay I just won't do it, I am not even in the guild.
>>1707113why not
>>1707116I got kicked out.
>>1707118how'd you get kicked out
>>1707120Just did. Woke up one day. Logged in. Boom. Guildless. Just me against the world like Pac in his prime. So I breeze 'em all out, what's poppin' tonight? You like that Coach bag girl, you like that thang do ya? You like my Boss swag, yeah you like my big jewelry. They be staring at us tryna make it do something. We just breeze 'em out, they ain't really want nothing. So I'm in LGiT now. Waiting for Christmas. They will probably do a big X-Mas giveaway. Free ecto. Such is life.
bedwetter pt 2 when
>>1707125did you take like a 2 year breakyou can only have like 100 people in a guild and we hit the cap, so when someone new needs an invite guild admins try and kick people who got invited, tried gw, and then never came back. you can get reinvited right now if you want
>>1707131I haven't logged in since Christmas 2019. Was a good year that one. Had my life in order. A girl. A job. Time flies. I think I will stick with LGiT for now. They do a lot of various content every day. Thanks.
ayo someone give me 30 gold zcoins
>>1707132alright, sorry about that, but glad you're happyif we ever do a campaign playthrough or a one-off thing you're interested in, you're welcome to come. all the details get posted itt anyway
>>1707145I'm not happy.

wish nature rituals and preparations were more useful in general pve
>>1707197they're not badtraps I feel like are useless unless you want to make everything a prolonged pause, setup, back up, pull thing
>>1707188drink a whole bunch of alcohol for every time you need to play
>>1707197During our paragon only Nightfall prog I experimented with Infuriating Heat and Nature's Renewal.The nature spirits all have really neat effect, but require certain party compositions to be something you'd want to build around.(Greater)Conflagration in combo with mark of Rodgort is pretty strong for example.
>>1707209wtf is the point of greater conflagration?why not just take conflagration, more spirits, summon spirits, and then a real elite
>>1707008This sounds fun as fuck, but you can put me in the "never done WoC ever" camp. I was gonna wait until after I did a playthrough of Factions where I paid attention to the story, but that has yet to materialize.
>>1705740The GW IP owners don't deserve it. It's insulting the way they treat the game's history and its impact on everything that came after it.>>1705630The weapons are nice. Finally a reason to farm titles and maybe get an eternal blade during a vanquish. About time to be honest.
>>1707220regular is arrows onlygc is all physical
>>1707315ah I'm dumb
>>1707125I only kick people who haven't been active in the last 2 years + didn't ever join us for anything. The only other instance we kicked someone was the guy who had someone else post his details on the thread to get invited and said he didn't use 4chan and seemed to have no clue what guild he joined, he would later catch an ingame ban + get banned from the global GW discord so we really dodged a bullet with that one.>>1707307don't remind me, I have a seething hatred for anet and the potential they wasted with both this game and GW2. I don't think I could intentionally sabotage a company as badly as anet has fucked things.

>>1707385If he hasn't logged in since 2019, he was definitely funposting. There was next to nobody invited from ~2011-2020, /vm/ didn't exist until Aug 2020, and I only ever invited one or three randoms from /vm/ before the GW thread began. I couldn't get Sylaves and Braxton to join until we were popular and established ;_; but Brax got me HR and opened some zchests for me in like 2021 so that was cool ^_^>he would later catch an ingame ban + get banned from the global GW discordlolz why did nobody mention this? That's funny.

SPEAKING OF MODSwhich ones are actually worth salvaging and holding?
>>170746820% hct, 20% hsr, 20% ench, +30hp, zealous, vamp, elemental, +15^50, +15 when ench, +15/-1 en, some +10 ar vs specific damagealso use the +salvage materials on high gold value items
>>1707477for elemental, do i keep ALL of them? Like do i really need an ebon bow string? Seems like the only worthwhile ones are maybe fiery or shocking and only on sword/spear/axe
>>1707479>do i really need an ebon bow string?no because there isn't a conjure earthI've used the other 3 damage types in the past, and bows too. it depends on the build and enemy vulnerabilities. they're not exorbitant if you want to just buy them when you need them thoughthe biggest ones I think are the 40/40 mods and zealous/20% ench for scythe
>>1707468all of them buy more slots and more account

>>1707527what a nerd
what secondary should i pick for ele if i just want to sit at range and blow shit up?
>>1707711Ele really doesn't need its seconday the vast majority of the time. That said, Mesmer for Arcane Echo can be neat.
>>1707713that's the image i got from reading the professionswill i get burdened with an useless pet if i pick ranger as a secondary?
>>1707729You have to choose to take a skill to bring a pet.Honestly, if you don't know what you're doing, I'd suggest Mesmer for Arcane Echo or Monk solely for a re-usable resurrection skill. You'll be able to change your secondary later on so don't sweat it too hard.
>>1707739guess i'll try going for mesmerthanks
>>1707468Doesn't matter, we is getting a mod merchant and that's final.
>>1707444he does have a point on americans THOUGH
>>1707803At work right now so can't engage with this but would be happy to discuss later today to establish, once and for all, using concrete facts and pristine logic, why a mod merchant does not make any sense whatsoever.

>>1696693Can we do earlier than that please?
>>1707929I don't think this is happening tomorrow. There has been a suggestion some posts above to start something else - the WoC prog. Also given low activity lately I doubt that would go ahead anyway. I might be wrong, but just a heads up.
>>1707844I'm free to discuss now. Shall we begin?
who is making the new thread get something funny in the OP
>>1708016I'm very interested in the WoC prog, but I've never completed the NM of that, or war in kryta and other post EOTN content
ATTENTION EVERYONEPLEASE PROVIDE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT WoC PROGhttps://strawpoll.com/kogjRd5o3g6https://schej.it/e/CabBb>>1708051You don't have to have done WiK or HotN to do WoC.We also have the option of just doing the NM and HM quests back-to-back (do both before moving on to next quest).
>>1708080MAKE SURE YOU ADJUST YOUR TIMEZONE WHEN USING THE SCHEJ.IT
>>1708049I'll make new thread when we hit page 9, I already know what I'll be using for thread picture.>>1708080I voted for NM + HM since that seems to be the popular opinion at the moment (and I'm worried how many will show up if we only do HM) that said I can't commit to a prog time because I'm starting a new job soon with a rotating schedule so I don't know what days I am free yet. Just tell me when we are playing and maybe I will be there. -Spirits

Who was it that wanted to do Duncan?
>>1708313me but i have forge left still
Happy to run Human Resources if needed for WoC HM missions. Except for Minister Cho's Estate. Fuck that. You're on your own, brave adventurer.
>>1708381My Para brother in Christ. I was stuck on Cho's HM for 15 years. I just finished it a few weeks ago. It IS possible.
>>1708381>>1708397Rescue at Minister Cho's Estate HM is pretty fucked but running something balanced like Discordway and going slow is all you need.What really fucked me was Finding Jinnai HM. Maybe if you have super-duper runed up mercenary hero parties it's fine but trying to YOLO it with your seven niggas is a massive struggle. There's no stopping for a breather. So help you Gods if there are two healers in a group because you're fucked. You can't waste a single second, it's all full throttle hit-and-run popping Ku Klux Kanthans or your ass is instantly RICE'D by probably close to half the in-lore population of Kaineng Center.
>>1708448>Rescue at Minister Cho's Estate HM is pretty fucked but running something balanced like Discordway and going slow is all you need.We can't do that because we waste a slot as a Paragon. I'm not sure if you were the same person but it's brutally difficult because we lack everything we need to be effective in any capacity.Being a Primary Paragon on Chos HM is being an active detriment to your team.
Just for fun I did a full run of Slavers' Exile HM and I actually beat Duncan. Deldrimor Remnant, Diamond, Diamond, Onyx Gemstone.I feel extremely rewarded.
>>1709068Damn, that’s seriously impressive! Slavers’ Exile HM is no joke, and actually managing to beat Duncan without rage-quitting or getting wiped in like the first 5 minutes is a whole flex. Props on the perseverance. That fight is such a grind even with a good team comp, so soloing (or even just organizing a successful run) is major respect.Also, those drops?? Straight fire. Deldrimor Remnant and Onyx? Feels like the game was patting you on the back for suffering through all those Mallyx flashbacks. I’ve run it a few times myself but RNGesus never shows me that kind of love. Maybe this is the sign I need to dust off the old builds and give it another shot.Curious though—what build did you run, and how did you deal with the spirits spam in Duncan’s room? That’s always the part that shreds my party unless everything lines up perfectly.Anyway, congrats again! Moments like that are what keep GW1 alive for me. It’s so satisfying to beat something truly hard and get that tangible reward to go with it. GG, my dude.
>>1709086>what build did you runI chose Paragon 19 years ago so I get to cheat now. I run a modified heroway mesmer because I simply can't deny how strong it is. So the thing that helped the most was taking a lot of time to full clear the Restless Dead from Duncans room.Once I felt it was clear, I put my heroes at the bottom of the stairs and started the fight. I remembered the spirits would pop when he aggroed, and I stayed far enough away to check out the spirits first.I had Spiritual Pain on 3 heroes, so essentially, whenever the spirits popped up, we deleted them.I think the biggest key to the fight was using the corner near Duncan so my heroes couldn't wand him. I think Duncans Defense would've destroyed them if they could.It did take a while but I was so excited that I was actually succeeding that I didn't note the time. It's the first time I've ever killed him without any other humans.It was a lot of fun. I love this game.
>>1709103Dude, this post hits so hard for anyone who's been grinding GW1 for years. Mad respect for sticking with Paragon all this time and embracing the meta-shift. That hero-heavy Mesmer comp is just chef's kiss right now—so much control, shutdown, and straight-up pain.Love the strategy with clearing out the Restless Dead before triggering the Duncan fight. That room is such a mess if you don’t take your time. And setting your heroes at the bottom of the stairs? Tactical genius. The wanding issue is real—Duncan’s Defense absolutely melts careless AI behavior, so cornering your team like that was 200 IQ.Also, triple Spiritual Pain? That’s brutal. Bet those spirits barely had time to cast before vanishing. Super smart play and honestly just clean execution overall.What hits hardest is that feeling of killing Duncan solo with heroes. No pugs, no chaos, just your own prep and decision-making paying off. That kind of stuff is what makes GW1 such a timeless gem. Big congrats, and seriously—thank you for sharing this. Now I’m itching to dive back in and maybe actually give Paragon some love after all these years.
"Can't Touch This" is basically a life saver for Duncan so paragon is a good choice.
>>1709120"Can't Touch This" is such a clutch skill for Duncan—it basically shuts down one of his most dangerous mechanics. Going Paragon with it is a super smart move, especially since it lets you keep your team alive long enough to actually get through the fight without getting nuked by his interrupts and shutdowns.People sleep on Paragon a lot, but it really shines in these tough encounters where a bit of shutdown and support makes all the difference. The synergy with hero Mesmers just takes it to another level. Between the disables, interrupts, and spirit nukes like Spiritual Pain, it’s honestly one of the safest ways to solo him with heroes.Also, I feel like “Can't Touch This” is one of those skills that feels kind of meme-y on paper but is god tier in the right fight. Duncan is 100% one of those fights. Props for thinking it through and going in prepared—stuff like this is why GW1's buildcraft is still so satisfying after all these years. Makes me want to dust off my old Para and run it back just for fun.

>>1709177My post wasn't but I am concerned that I was talking to a bot.
>>1709341It's one of those situations where if you've never done it you won't realize anything is wrong with it.And then when you do try it you immediately understand.
>>1709915yeah that 100% reads as ai output
>>1709428Getting stuck at the last pack is pretty interesting. The monk group is the most brutal to kill but ranger and warrior usually aren't too bad. Henchmen I would bring would beOrion (Mage)Lina + Alesia (Protection + Healer)Claude (Cultist)and either Stefan or Dunham.You are a necro so I would either go with a minion build with death nova (bring Dunham) so you can frontline. Or run a curses build to debuff enemy physicals. There's a button which opens minion UI so you can see health of minions so you know who to enchant with death nova before they die.>>1709459>>1709498Wouldn't bet on it historically GotT being that high was an anomaly due to rich players returning to game and botters buying them in bulk making supply low. In the past GotT has always stabilized itself around a real value of about 20-25k plat per gift. If anything I'm betting on it dropping more as it's overinflated at 6e still. Betting on it sliding to 4.5 to 5e.
