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.

do you have an interesting team build for ab

This is the setup I made last thread. The 2 warrior builds are abusing this months flux which gives you stacking damage increase (up to 30% bonus damage) when you use a different attribute skill then last. You basically cycle between penetrating blow and symbolic strike, using battle rage whenever it runs low to maintain +30% damage on your attacks. Symbolic strike will slap people for nearly 100 damage and you can spam it basically every other hit.

The necro is a melee support curse necro pretty good enchant rip and condi removal. And barbs + defile + cracked armor can create unexpected melee spikes.

The rit is a pretty standard channeling support rit this set up is very energy efficient so it should be able to just spam skills off cooldown. Ancestors rage can set up some 200 damage spikes if it happens to explode while the warrior is doing a symbolic strike.


I thought about doing a silly hex spam setup since most teams don't seem to run heavy hex clear but this seemed way funnier.

I try to always make each thread with a different OP picture unless I really specifically liked one of them, after making these threads for almost 3 years I am starting to run out of pictures lol always open to community submissions for what OP should be. My only requirement is that you can easily tell it's a picture of guild wars.

I'll consider adding links for gwlauncher/daybreak but desu the vast majority of people aren't multi accounting in this game so feel like it'd be a waste of space, carto is probably a good idea though, I'll add that next thread. The OP already has PvX links. I like Hubert (gvg scrim guy) but I don't really want to shill for the guy but if people are alright with me including it in the OP I'll include a link to his channel.

battle rage ends on using non-adrenal skills
flux resets on using same attrib
this means interrupts cannot be used without losing ias and ims? i feel like i dont understand something
how about this change?
>>
>>1857796
90% of the time you are bouncing between symbolic strike and penetrating blow for this build. Without battle rage you need to attack 4 times to build enough adrenaline to use it. With battle rage you get double adrenaline from attacks so every 2 attacks you can spam out 100 damage. Because battle rage takes 4 adrenaline to use it is extremely easy to fund it, so even if you wanted to use a signet (which you shouldn't it's generally not worth it but maybe there's some devestating skill you can rupt) you can just immediately use battle rage again.

The signets are almost purely on the bar for powering up symbolic strike, but they are versatile in that you can spam that before entering combat to build up your flux bonus to 30% before moving in for a single strike.

example video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOsiR_jIWzI

tl;dr the signets on this bar are almost purely for powering up symbolic strike and battle rage exists to fund your ability to spam symbolic strike even faster.

Fellas, I'm in a particular bind. I recently picked up a couple pretty complete-in-box collectors edition boxes of Factions and Nightfall for cheaper than fast food. Obviously the code's are long gone but the discs are all there. Are there any private servers that let me skip the authenticating process, like what WoW private servers do?
>>
>>1859823
No. The boxes/discs are collector items at best and trash to most.
You can buy literally everything in GW1 (masterpiece collection) for $40 from the official store right now. You just missed the most recent sale when everything was like $20. They do these sales often enough.
It was $8 for the 20th anniv earlier this year.
>>
>>1859829
I'm not spending $40 for a 20 year old game.

>>
>>1859833
You've managed to miss 2 sales one that happened earlier this month/last month that had game discounted up to 50% off, and another in april/may which had the game 75% off.

If you're lucky there might be another sale in August for wayfarer, I'd recommend just wishlisting it on steam and waiting for a sale.

wtf that combo of 2 spellcasters and 4 bandits keeps raping me, do i even push into this mountain
>>1857133
if you want we can party up but i just started tonight, level 6 if that matters, just walking around doing the introductory quests before i pick a 2nd class
How's quest progress handled here anyway? Clears the quest for both of us?
>>
>>1860554
Quests that update by themselves update for everyone who has it in their log.
If you particularly need to talk to someone or do something then everyone has to do it separately, but you don't have to leave the same instance.
Example: If the quest says to go kill McNigger, pick up his watermelon, then talk to Chuck to turn the quest in, everyone who has the quest will have it update when McNigger dies, pick up a separate watermelon, then everyone has to go talk to Chuck to turn it in. You never have to leave a zone or duplicate effort for people in the same party doing quests.

BTW, yes, at level 6 you should be totally fine going up the foothills in WIzard's Folly. Try not to over-aggro. Bandits are only level 1 or 2 there.
If you want some help I can hop on and follow along with you.
>>
>>1860573
I could handle the elementals easily, i think i need to get the upgraded armor boots and helmet , maybe some new skills from the warrior trainer as i didn't talk to him yet. I just get nuked since i draw aggro instead of the panther and the healing can't catch up LOL.
It's fine for now, i don't think i need to reach the top (yet)
>>
>>1860587
Keep in mind that you're going to basically be taking double damage while activating Healing Signet because of the armor penalty. You might get better use of the Ranger's Troll Unguent while you're actively being attacked.
>>
>>1860595
Additionally, if you're using Frenzy, be careful of a similar effect on that skill too.
>>
>>1860595
Sadly i switched to the elementalist trial skills so now i have the aoe Fire shower, ranger seemed the coolest as a sub class.
I try not to spam Signet/Rage in combat too much. I think what happens is i stay in the NPC's fire shower and that just chunks me.

>>1860606
Yeah, step outta that shit, dude.
Ranger is one of the more straightforward secondaries for Warriors, but every profession can synchronize in unexpectedly awesome ways.

>>
>>1860615
Actually i went back and just did it, so what i did was break the pack of 6 into 2 by using the meteor spell, the spell that chunked me is Flare, deals ~16 on first hit then 30~50 and my HP is 240, crazy damage even when i split them up.

>Kerch Thunderdon, on eu 1
even euros play on aed1 I think
I might be wrong (na so don't personally need it) but that sets the town server, not the server once you're out in the wilderness. eed1 ascalon city will be a ghost town, aed1 will have like 40 people in ut
>>
>>1860694
Ah i was thinking active sets you up with a random channel, so if district 1 is available to pick, then it throws you there and there only. It seems that's the case after checking the upper left menu, its 1 AM in eu atm so its pretty empty anyway (Your party is already in an active district). I'll be chilling for about 10 minutes more for the other anon otherwise i'll go farm my boots
>>
>>1860701
Oh i got what you mean now after rereading the post, what seems weird to me in that case is that when it picked america for me the ping was 110ms on the lower right green button, but if i went to EU it was 40ms, even if it was a solo instance in a exploration area.
(I switched because some clipping happened in combat where i rubberbanded a few times)

i have completed all side quests on my prog character except kessex peak
it's a pretty nice feeling. opening it and seeing nothing.
i was just thinking earlier how sitting in gw is kinda nice. just the visual setup of tiny character in big world, low poly/high definition, low amount of things i have to do high amount of things i can do. very opposite from modern mobages which have a bajillion checklists and a bajillion rewards on a bajillion timers. so many things to do but doing any of them doesn't mean anything. but in gw nothing moves unless i do something.

>>1864416
honestly gw quests stress me out a little because they're one-time only and actually mean something. having this quest will ferry your party into an area. this quest is the best way to farm x items. even ones with no external use like wik, it feels bad only being able to go through it once per character
it's more of a personal issue though, I do like that gw isn't a treadmill where you grind and slop your way into exhaustion

i get stressed when things don't mean things because i continue doing things until something is meaningful, and when nothing is meaningful the only thing that stops me is said exhaustion.
>>
>>1864838
There's maybe 2-3 quests in the game that are actually useful for ferrying, and only 1 people actually care about (consulate docks). As far as farming quests there are a few but most of the best farming spots in this game do not require quests the only ones worth caring about:

-A chance encounter (WoC for ministrel commendations)
-Farmer Hamnet (Pre-Searing XP)

Honorable mentions:
-Chasing Zenmai + Afflicted Guard + Drunken Master so you can clear bukdek byway for vanquish fast the 1-2 times per YEAR it shows up (during this ZV you can easily find a group to do it on all your alts).
-Drakes on the plain if you are a speedrunner who gives a shit about getting drake kabobs (just buy them and farm literally ANYTHING else)

All other farming quests exist to farm nick trophys once every 3 years, or are farms that were useful in 2006 such as the ascalon settlement feather farm.

I don't think there's ever been a time where I've completed a quest and later went "oh damn wish I still had that" and I use to farm nick sets every week for months.

tl;dr don't stress about it, the farming quests aren't that important and are usually eclipsed by non quest farming spots.

I am planning on a full gw1 playthrough with 2 other people and am wondering what the better (or best in case i end up playing when we are done) solo classes are that also excel in small groups. I am currently leaning towards ranger or elementalist but i know absolutely nothing about the game. one of them is planning to go mesmer I think. also which class has the best slutwear.
>>
>>1865276
Mesmer, Ranger, Necromancer, Warrior, Elementalist, in that order is my experience for carrying solo play with Prophecies starting classes. Elementalists are glass cannons so they need to be looked after, a good Warrior player in the party is great for herding enemies. I haven't created a Monk character so I can't say, but if the idea is to play with friends any of them are good choices. The fun part is, with Smiting skills and secondary classes, you don't just have to be the party's heal daddy, so consider that if anyone has reservations about playing a Monk.

Female Elementalists are the sluttiest by far, especially the Nightfall sets. Although the Mesmers get a straight up nightgown as a prestige set
https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Elementalist_armor
If you fancy playing ele, a quick rundown for the flavors of magic is:
Air magic is usually for single-target damage with armor penetration, and some spells have conditions like blindness and cracked armor.
Fire magic is a big 'ole bucket of AoE and almost always applies a burning condition to target and nearby enemies
Earth magic is a mix of offense and support in that it uses a lot of knockdown, slowing, and wards in addition to damage
Water magic deals less damage overall and has a lot more party support / enemy control.

I strongly suggest playing the game blind, but when you are hitting a wall check out the wiki and pvx for info & builds to take inspiration from.
>>
>>1865126
it's not rational
it's about having the option. there are a bunch of random maybe-but-never-actually useful quests (e.g. tele into vizunah local quarter) and the reward is usually just xp, so it's easy to give up
>>
>>1865143
don't get me wrong, I like q8s as much as the next guy but thats such a hyper specific farm you're probably better off just farming GotT and then buying the q8 you want rather than trying to farm a specific q8 attribute.

>>1865386
If you're really terrified of locking yourself out of quests ask yourself "is this character a character I will use to solo farm?" Just don't complete quests on derv/assassin/ritualist etc... I don't really think you'll be solo farming mobs on your paragon lol.

You can choose any profession for solo play. It doesn't matter. You only have one direct damage skill line on monk (can use secondaries too of course), but it's also actually fun and useful to heal/prot with real prayers.

Mesmer has classy slutwear, like the hot librarian who takes off her glasses and is a 10/10 who sucks the life out of your cock. Elementalists has the nasty slutwear like some hoe you find stoned at a concert who you rail behind the porta potties and feel like you need to get an STD panel done the very next day.

examples are for illustration and that's the one that came with the logic in this instance. if it actually matched you in real life, then that's where it's useful. if it only matches you in videogames, then that's where it's useful. you could even be super rich in games - the logic presented is, if you didn't have this impulse, you would be even richer/enjoy having things more.
i don't think anyone on 4chins cares about social status. i am interested in solving problems. and you seem to agree that this is a problem, so i presented a quote i saw recently that suggests a possible path. it is possible the logic is wrong, that hoarding occurs for some other reason, or that fear of use is something else. but i can't add to that unless you want to discuss it.

true I forgot about HA

We use to do SF but toward the end of progs we typically have high burnout and I got pretty lukewarm responses when I asked in the past if people were interested in SF coupled with rewards being kinda meh, and the difficulty having a large range from kinda boring to god awful, on a bad day SF can take 2 sessions to complete. I'm always open to it but if we're interested in doing more than just FoW post prog, I think ToPK would be a better area.

Just started playing again for the first time after the release of gw2. Unfortunately I lost access to my original account and bought the game again in the sale.

It's crazy how much fun this game still is. I tried so many online rpg games over the years including gw2, but they all kinda suck. I think I stopped playing gw2 after a few weeks post release and I never really found a replacement for gw1. But I'm still salty I lost my account, not that it had much valuable stuff. But still things I worked hard on and a few meta classes from back then and such.

btw. I got super lucky and found a black dye in pre searing I think on the first day of playing again. Any tips on how I can safely sell it for post gold?

I'm considering it, but I already accepted some quests and stuff I think. Not sure how bad it even is honestly, you can still do the dailies. So it might simply cost me a few more days. I'm certainly going to do it anyways, but not yet sure with what character.
>>
>>1867412
I didn't even bother "saving" my quests. It just gets you to the dailies faster IMO, and from there you can grind it out at your leisure.

thanks for the offer!

times wouldn't be impossible, I might come back to you. But I'm currently playing 100% Solo Wars anyways, until I get all heros and stuff. So I'm not really ready to participate in anything.

In theory we have euros in the guild who ask for euro friendly timezones for stuff, but in practice whenever I try to set things up to be a euro friendly timezone only NA people show up and then I question why I planned a game for 3PM EST when no euro's show up.

>>1868333
Invited, just watch thread for when we schedule stuff I try to remember to update the MOTD but I forget... a lot. No pressure on joining this current prog, I've got some fun ideas for our next factions prog after we finish this one and I might try to schedule some endgame stuff later in august or september.
>>
>>1868400
we could just move it now that we're like halfway through to some other time.
>>
>>1868484
I wouldn't do that to our single euro who actually showed up (mae), that said the time seems to be working out for the moment, even on bad days our prog is missing 2 people at worst.

Also I might not be here on Sunday to run the prog, I'll be on vacation and no promises on whether or not I'll be able to join on my laptop. If I'm not here the session's plans are Aurora Glade + Riverside Province. Unlock Maguuma Stade and Fisherman Haven if you have spare time.

Meanwhile in GW2:

I took this screenshot a few years ago, the tooltips for this single skill is so long I had to take an out of game screenshot just to capture the whole thing. This isn't even the worst one I've seen either.

Personally from my experience playing MMO's GW1's are the most clear and concise about what they do save for a few, but every MMO has skills that are "ok what the fuck am I looking at". What skill did you encounter at low level that you thought was confusing?
>>
>>1871039
don't remember but yea thats why I don't play GW2 either. You know what game doesn't do this with skills? Diablo 2, WoW, Marvel heroes. I swear David Brevik knew how to make a game, well Blizzard in general.
>>
>>1871046
It's funny you say that because I hear people compare this game to diablo 2 oftenly likely due to many former anet devs worked on d2 before this game.

But yeah dunno what you are talking about with skills, I literally can't think of any that aren't extremely self explanatory, do you remember what you were playing/looking at? With GW1, the dungeons are main quest missions there are end game dungeons/hard areas in the game, But every instanced mission is a dungeon where if you wipe, there is no resurrecting.
>>
>>1871072
nope don't remember cause its just that forgettable honestly, which was another reason i didn't really continue with it. Also i don't think people have ever played diablo 2 if they compare this game to it lmfao.

>>1871081
That's fine, GW1 isn't for everyone, game is designed more like a cooperative RPG with team based elements in a world where most MMO's nowadays are "playing solo together" with your only meaningful interactions with other players often being seeing them "exist" in the world, and occasionally doing dungeons with them. As each game endlessly try to copy eachother (and WoW) and often fail miserably. Few games are willing to boldly explore new frontiers, why play a WoW clone when you can just play WoW after all.

The reason we still play this game is because there's simply nothing else like it on the market, there's no true successor to GW1 because GW2 tried to follow the WoW path (and failed miserably) making a game that didn't appeal to GW1 fans, or many WoW players. There's not really been another MMO designed in the same team based structure GW1 has with it's deck building skill system, theory crafting teams and designing heros who synergize together is fun.

It's why even though the last PvP balance patch was 13 years ago, the PvP scene is still thriving here and starting to grow as more people become aware of it.
>>
>>1871142
i just don't understand how people can even compare tthis game to diablo 2, its very misleading.

>>1871157

i meant desolation, which is where i am in nightfall atm. vabbi is really amazing. comparing kodash to droknar is more development than we've had in western videogames the past ten years. but vabbi is like the only pretty part.
nightfall everyone hates each other and is angry or snarky at everything. even varesh is perpetually angry. am i supposed to give a shit about melonni and koss? even if they weren't ugly niggers, what exactly is going on between them other than snark and more snark.

what are some unorthodox ranger builds
>>
>>1872556
Leveraging expertise for non ranger skills. Protector's strike, soldiers strike, thrill of victory, whirlwind attack, sun and moon slash (for sword), cyclone axe and dismember (for axe). The classic dagger combo. Necro touch skills is another classic.

The expertise sword can be cool if you go 12 expertise, 12 tactics, and use those tactics based melee skills, protector strike and sun and moon slash. With TaO and SoH, you do pretty okay.

There's a fake ST rit build that uses oath shot. Not sure how it actually builds back the energy though.
>>

>fake ST rit build that uses oath shot. Not sure how it actually builds back the energy though.
OggjcxYDITWPPOhTVGDg5iIH3lA
rituals are 64% cheaper with 16 exp
>>
>>1872945
sun and moon slash is adrenaline. what benefit does expertise have on adrenaline?
>>
>>1873029
It doesn't. But you are still building it as a resource. Hitting twice when you have a TaO and SoH each giving +16 per hit means The skill hits actually pretty hard. The skill doesn't actually scale with swordsmanship so it's great for going with the 12 expertise 12 tactics. Protector's strike is used because the cast time means it can cancel the end lag of a non-cast time attack, effectively fake IAS. Again it doesn't need investment in strength to be useful
>>
>>1873040
based prot strike user shits cash on all melee wars dervs sins rangers double hammer pops are op as shit
>>
>>1873133
>shits cash on all melee wars
the fuck is the point of it on a war
isn't it power attack but conditional, and you should have more strength than tactics anyway
>>
>>1873143
It's an auto attack reset. The conditional extra damage is just gravy.
>>
>>1873143
>>1873146
Specifically for swords, it cancels the 0.665 second aftercast delay of an attack that is normally to return your character to neutral, and instead you spend 0.25s doing the protectors strike and then 0.25s returning to neutral. It's both an extra hit and actually faster than the normal end lag (0.665+0.25+0.25 vs 0.665+0.665). If used every 3rd natural auto/normal skill, you simulate having around a 28% IAS, but it actually stacks with real IAS
>>

>The expertise sword can be cool if you go 12 expertise, 12 tactics, and use those tactics based melee skills, protector strike and sun and moon slash. With TaO and SoH, you do pretty okay.

>>1873470
now this is good thanks b
what do you mean by unspecced and r/w? wouldn't it be r/me?
>>
>>1873688
2 different builds, flourish is a warrior elite
one is to use fevered dreams without really investing in illusion magic, and then spam every debilitating condition onto enemy balls. if you use an illusion hero you can micro fragility too and really btfo them
the other is to bring flourish and a bunch of costly bow attacks with long enough durations to be on cd to get the energy refund, spam down the line, flourish, everything's available again and you have all your energy back

Consider swapping inferno for flame djinn haste. Little less damage but gives ims. But the ones you got are the good ones to grab when dipping ele. Flame burst could be another one but it just costs so much you generally can't run it. An alternative would be running double dragon but on warrior that's gonna be rough on energy.

One of my favorite builds to be posted to these generals over the last 3~ years has been a E/W ride the lightning set up.

I also saw a pretty cool E/R build some years ago that abused double dragon +EBSoH + pet for massive AoE damage that doesn't scatter enemies.

>>1888756
Only the super rare ones. If it dropped from a birthday present (especially year 1-5) the answer is probably "no". Green birthday minipets can sometimes be worth a few ecto. I like using my birthday presents on tonics instead, sometimes you get funny ones and they tend to sell easier if you get a good one.

Also bros I will be back tomorrow depending on how much traffic there is will determine if I get home in time for the prog. Very high probability I will be behind wherever we currently are.

I spoke to wawaa in guild chat this morning and he wants to do it too.

That's a bit early for me but I'll see if I can make it

is there a pvp guild i can join i dont know anything about the meta, i saw some based names pop up a few times on the at, i just know necro skills, i dont play other classes they are all gay, armor is cringe it has to be cracked
>>
>>1899072
couldn't we just do it when we get there or after the ring of fire

unless you wanna play jq you got like 1 viable build
>>
>>1899172
>couldn't we just do it when we get there or after the ring of fire
I guess... we were just saying how there aren't any guild activities besides prog happening and thats why it was suggested
sorry, wawaa, seems like it's not happening. maybe we could plan something else instead?
>>
>>1899172
Speaking of jq, does anyone know why we never see barrage rangers anymore?
I must have a 100% winrate with this build, yet never see anyone else play it

For any prog players who are behind and really can't be bothered to try and do the missions with henchies/don't have the time to do the missions but still want to join the prog on Sunday I can run you through anything you are missing just let me know (preferably before Sundays prog...)

We might start sunday out doing rotscale, depends how many are here.

Man am I really not gonna get any new skills for Swords besides Sever Artery and Gash? I mean I got Seeking Blade and Hamstring but those cost energy. I'm having some decent fun with W/Mo so far, bunching up enemies and dropping Symbol of Wrath on them is nice. I don't get to really use Judge's Insight that much because of the cost but not really sure what to replace it with atm. Maybe I'll just throw Remove Hex on there.

final thrust?

>>1905714
I forgot to mention I'm still in Shiverpeaks, but I'll look into that once I get to Kryta.
>>
>>1905714
I like the monk part of your build, not sure how to improve the warrior part this early
>>
>>1905714
You're going to fuck shit up in Kryta with Judge's Insight so put it back in then.
The first Elite later on will be Warrior's Endurance, which can help you to add energy-cost warrior attacks while still letting you have enough energy to use your monk skill.
>>
>>1905714

now I feel like making a wammo too

There's also Galrath Slash (in addition to Final Thrust) that requires adrenaline.

I'll keep these in mind, thanks. I forgot Kryta has a lot of undead so I'll pop Judge's Insight back in once I get there. Warrior's Endurance looks like it'd be a really good skill once I get to Crystal Desert.

>>1906623
It's not a fresh account, I just keep coming and going from Guild Wars over the years. I've never really committed to it but I would actually like to finish the campaigns someday.

doing a stellaris game with a friend I decided to go a disgustingly tall virtual trader build so I have an extremely tiny empire, which controls the entire galaxy's economy while my friend funds my military spending it only seemed natural to name the empire space israel.

wammo is such a classic running an axe setup myself, you could replace judge's insight with Strength of honor I'd def stick judge's back on for kryta though. Galrath slash is a really nice sword skill you get at beetlerun.

If you do end up catching up to us you are welcome to join at any time or join for post prog content when we use our proph characters to try and beat topk or FoW

mesmer gets pretty strong pretty fast
when I picked, I just read through the primary attributes and the skills in those lines, that's basically all primary professions are vs secondaries. like if you mean ranger/monk and not ranger or monk, expertise doesn't do much for monking
the best is the enemy of the good, you don't need to fret about what's gonna be perfect when you can make a necro or whatever next in factions. if you have a lvl 8 m/e in post, I'd just play that if you're having fun
>>
>>1912333
I've played them all now but i picked them or any mmo class based on what play patterns sound coolest, followed by aesthetics to tie break. I started with mesmer cause my brother who got me into it said it was like playing blue in Magic the Gathering, and I thought that was cool as fuck. later i tried assassin cause melee sounded cool, and then dervish post rework was cool enough to live rent free in my head for a decade until I came back to the game.

I got "Closer to the Stars" in GW1 so that I could unlock the full HoM in GW2. How much more effort does it take to get GWAMM? Keep in mind I have completely forgotten how to play GW1 and I have absolutely no idea what I'm looking at on the screen anymore. I burned through this game in a couple months 13 years ago and I've forgotten everything.
>>
>>1912385
to me autistic title grinding is the least enjoyable aspect of this game, and you're coming back to do the annoying hard shit you left for later back then
unless you still play gw2 I'd just make a new character and play for fun. maybe even if you still play gw2. there are a bunch of account-wide titles so you can get back to 30/50 pretty fast
>>
>>1912365
>I just wanted to play as a cute gay boy
The profession you want is the Paragon.

>>1912385
The difference between 30/50 HoM and GWAMM will be quite a lot. Mostly grinding titles.

Super quick ZV today (less than 5 min) if you have the right quests.

Factions' difficulty spike when you hit the mainland is infamous due to the enemy level jump. My experience playing GW1 even back in the day was that it wasn't too hard most of the time, but there are build/skill checks that tend to hard-stop your progress until you figure it out. The ones that always come to mind are Elona Reach and Tahnnakai Temple.
Kaining City is probably my favorite region in the game, it's the kind of poverty-stricken urban hellscape that wraps back around to being comfy as fuck.

Welcome back Marcus, we continue on Sunday at 3 PM EST, if you want to catch up but you are too lazy to run to the outposts I will gladly give anyone who needs it a desert tour (or alternatively, run them to Drok run but you should really get dragons lair for post prog TOPK)

Cool hexing build you might want to consider an energy management skill though, also as an additional note the theme of this prog is 50/50 - you are only allowed to have up to 4 skills from your primary profession, the other 4 have to be your secondary (No attribute skills are considered "free" space and don't count toward the 4)

As always if anyone needs help catching up I will gladly do full desert tours or whatever it needed if you can't be bothered but still want to attend progs.

Unpopular opinion, cool iconic GW1 glove if the year is 2005-2015

Tasteless overused eyesore every year after that.

I still like it because it's so iconic to GW1, but I would never personally buy it because I think it's ugly.

Also I will be able to make it to Sunday's prog, but I'll only be able to stay an hour (so for a single mission) after that you guys keep going. But this does mean we need to start on time, does anyone have a problem making 3:15 PM EST on Sunday this coming week? If you need till 3:20 to show up, say so now

can do most missions with 3-4 heroes, just have 3-4 accounts afk and 1 just run into enemies and let heroes clean them up

easier when youre doing the same missions side by side though, can take 8 accounts through a single mission playing just 2
>>
>>1970556
When I'm feeling super sweaty I'll sometimes multi account double ritualist, one plays ST, other plays SoS because both are super low APM. Movement for ST is pretty easy since I just gotta keep it super backline so I can focus on playing SoS correctly but I feel like anything over like 3 or 4 accounts would seriously impact your ability to play any of the accounts better than a hero.

One of these days I'll get my alts to beat NF so I can do DoA runs.
