We have a /vm/ guild that has been playing together for 4 years now, if you would like to join simply post your IGN to thread.>>2842073 Previous ThreadOur NF prog is running every saturday at 9AM EST, we're playing under a ruleset where the first 2 skills on our bar are randomly decided, and we need to create a build for that session using those 2 skills, I am posting weekly progress updates to thread for people interested in watching our progress.We've also been doing weekly HA again Sat or Sun at 1PM EST abusing minion factory before anet changes their mind and minions become useless in PvP for another 20 years.Pretty large balance patch and some new items added to shop, see change log here: https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Feedback:Game_updates/20260826Pirate Week starts on September 13th, farm your grog and laugh at all the players who yet again forgot to get their inf summon stone from last week's Wayfarer's Reverie.Useful linkshttps://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Main_Pagehttp://gwsolo.wikidot.com/https://www.gw-memorial.net/https://tolkano.com/https://gwpvx.fandom.com/wiki/PvX_wikihttps://wiki.fbgmguild.com/wiki/Main_Pagehttps://party.gwtoolbox.com/https://kamadan.gwtoolbox.com/https://ascalon.gwtoolbox.com/https://hom.guildwars2.com/en/#page=welcome[Baww] Approved Buildshttps://gwpvx.fandom.com/wiki/User:Baww_Way>Having trouble figuring out what is worth keeping?https://youtu.be/CnBjJnxC-s0>New player and not sure what profession to run?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSQQe_3P1P0
>warriorMale>rangerMale>MonkFemale>NecromancerEither>MesmerFemale>ElementalistFemale>AssassinFemale>RitualistFemale>ParagonEither>DervishEitherI don't make the rules, but these are the rules
all GW female character models are pure sex and there's really no reason not to pick them, but if you wanna play as the Hunchback of Necrodame or wide Conan, go ahead.
>>2923521Necro is either scene girl or Jared Leto from Suicide Squad; there is no in between.
i will never play as a BITCH
>>2923682but anon, every character you play is a bitch
>>2923682idk your method acting is on point
do people not use that gwmarket site? never get a bite then again I probably don't know how desired any of the stuff im listing is I just undercut people by 1 and hope for the best
>>2923919I just have an alt I park in kamadan to sell big stuff while I'm playing on main or doing something else. I really don't bother selling stuff often especially if it's like random ass mods that go for 1-2e. Can't be assed to do that shit anymore.
>>2923919With toolbox I'll sometimes just afk in kamadan while playing a different game. If someone whispers me or opens a trade window toolbox causes the GW window to flash and can even send windows notifications. Otherwise everytime I login I spend like 1 minute checking current listings on trade menu and sometimes I'll sell something there.
>>2923919having never used it, i will confidently tell you that it's like most low-volume markets and the listed prices stay listed because nobody fucking buys at that
>>2923560I like the gigachad strongman male monksneed a lot of beef to carry entire teams
>>2925122The ones that are at best 5'4*?
>>2923521male paragon and male dervish are very zesty, yes
>>2925296They gonna make that shit look GOOD
Gonna start actually playing the necro I've had for ages. Which areas suck for playing mm?
>>2925709Nahpui Quarter, Ooze Pit, Oola's Lab, anything with lots of undead/ghosts (Kryta missions, SoO etc.), anything with Titans
>>2925709The last third of Nightfall isn't great for MMs. By then you'll have access to lots of alternative playstyles though.
LOG ON AND GRAB TODAY'S ZC IF YOU'RE A HAfag!
So update tomorrow(inshallah)What are we expecting
>>2926865more p2w and badly considered buffs
>>2926865- Inconsequential buffs to skills that nobody gives a shit about and will continue to not give a shit about.- More mobile client updates that nobody gives a shit about- P2W lockpick
>>2926865Last update was one week ago, not 2weeks.
>>2926865More cash shop items. You're not getting any major updates until the end of the year, maybe even past that.
>spend hours trying out different Ele builds>finally settle on 2-3 that play all right and do decent damage>log into my daggerspam assassin out of curiosity>my damage effectively doubles plus I can spam Save Yourselves making my team invincible>same for my ranger daggerspam and TaOJesus the balance in this game is so fucked
>>2926926DD+pet+ebsoh my brother
>>2926913Technically we're more on track for make updates at the end of each month. We won't get anything big until the 30th I bet
>>2926926That's the Ele and Monk life. Everyone who takes your profession as secondary (or not at all) can do your role better.
What more-difficult areas (farms, dungeons, etc.) do you like to do when you're bored and want to play GW?
>>2926926melee is just more fun to play with heroes
>>2926934Lately, I've been chipping away at getting my LDoA character's Devona to level 20.
>>2926936There's also a lot more support skills it gets to use. Splinter, SoH, judge's, withering aura all make melee go big. On top of that, the PvE skills you have access to are just busted and remove melee counters, so the balance point of more damage but more counters is obliterated
>>2926930>Call target>Cast DD on pet>Run backwards for some reason>Realize that my retarded bird got stuck on geometry and is 100 yards behind the partyAlso, I like that you'll auto cast DD on the nearest ally if you cast it without a target, but it's infuriating that the spell fails if the mob you're targeting dies.
>>2926930This and star burst were my most effective builds and yet they still pale in comparison to something like daggerspam. Too many ways in which DD can fail, plus it's way more awkward to execute
>>2926971Ultimately it comes down to what's fun. With meta hero builds, you can AFK and still win handily in most content, so either you create some off-meta Rube Goldberg machine or you play a build that you find enjoyable so you can pretend like you're making a valuable contribution to the team.
>>2926971I do think ele is weak and my biggest single frustration with it is cast times. Way too often do my targets die as I'm casting and so I end up doing very little damage. DD is at least a fun kind of retarded
>>2927018I was seriously considering an Of the Mesmer mod on my gear because I kept getting cucked out of Chain Lightning casts.
>>2927028If only there was a spell that was literally chain lightning but had a faster cast time
>>2927035My elite slot is already taken.
>>2927038Arc Lightning
>>2927038Then perish
consider the following
>>2927166You won't need MoP when the mobs scatter from Balthazar's Aura.
>>2927028I like to play Mindbender on necro builds, you can stack it with Of Mesmer mod to roleplay as an FC mesmer pretty effectively.
>>2926926yeah and if you download a gay dating app right now you could get your dick sucked in under 20 minutessometimes you have to make a choice, and it's not about what's easy
>>2927418>We choose to suck these dicks in this general and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard
i... became weak and bought the newest shop stuff (kits & bell). considering the time i wasted within this game already the money is practically nothing
>>2928665It felt dirty, but I did it too. Mostly just to give them some money, but the unbreakable kits are convenient. I don't use the devil's consumables.
its nice the stuff is atleast redeemable on every character and they didn't do it the gay ass gw2 way where you have to inventory manage 1 item across 8 different chars or paypig even more for a shared inventory slot
>>2928665I did too. If the lockpicks good I'll probably get it too. Should have been a way to get them in game though. Maybe as a reward for certain levels of treasure hunter and wisdom and shit like that.
>>2928665buying shit keeps the game updated
>>2926926The game's balance is centered around PvP.PvE falls apart unless you place a bunch of restrictions.
>>2928768>The game's balance is centered around PvP.Hell yes, my time machine worked!
>>2928768This game is balanced around who cries the loudest on the 2weeks discord and its a mess in pve and pvp want a good laugh look up word of censure spike
>>2929192They didn't need to kill my boy like they did
>>2928768Izzy, they already forced you to split PvE and PvP skills. Don't make me get the paddle.
>>2928768it was centered around pvp and theyre slowly doing away with it.
>>2930084They did away with it when they made PvE only skills and never made pvp only ones.
Fuck talus chute vanq. That was awful
Any sisters up for Magmussy later today?
>>2934878At reset?
>>2934885Sure
>>2934878Sure, I'll be running Over the Limit ele today, this dungeon has very few enchant strips as food for thought if anyone wants to run Arcane Mimic they could prob freely run it as well along with an elite of their choosing if they want to abuse some jank setups.
The guild would benefit from a female member, not for any important reason, just drama.
>>2935153LolLmao even
>>2935153the guild has at least 2 but they are late 20s early 30s hagmaxxing, don’t ask me how I found out
>>2935321how'd you find out
>>2923450Is this the same guild that did a factions run about 4 years ago?
>>2935365yea who else
>>2935325I stalk guildies with my alts
>>2935365We've done one every year since 2022 basically. I think kensuke has a gif or webm of some moments but I forgot to save it.
>>2935365yeah
Raving Nighteyes would like to return
>>2936219invite this man back, you guild officers
>>2936219ill get back on real fast and get you
>>2936219sent ;)
Almost forgot, happy 9/11!
The Searing was an inside job! Crystals can't burn tinder cities!
>The Charr have reportedly struck Ascalon with a second airship
>Duke (((Barradin))) inexplicably gives up the throne to the pretender Adelbern and takes out a massive insurance policy on the kingdom in the same day.Really makes you signets tingle.
The asura have been kicked out of a lot of gates, huh
>>2936436They need to be kicked some more, in all honesty
has LGiT really been around for 15 years? we goit any LGiT sleeper agents?
Why did ectos crash in price and why the fuck is superior vigor 36k?
>>2936760The regular buy downs went a little too frequent and popped the bubble. Smart money has been liquidating to gold in anticipation of the lockpick fucking shit up royally.
PROG in one hour. We're at the quest Attack at the Kodash.
LOG ON FOR PROG
And here are today's builds
Petition to change the guild tag from [BAWW] to [BEWA]
>>2938038And the skills for next weeks sessionToday was pretty productive we did both Jennur's Horde and Nundu Bay, we also did Dzagour Bastion as a bonus, and we stopped at Gate of Desolation mission. Pretty productive day.Next week will be Gate of Desolation + a lot of side questing for treasure. I predict our prog will beat NF in the next 3~ weeks.
>>2938263also HA in 2 hours from now, we continue to milk the minion factory builds.

>>2938432I remember Strong Like Bearway
>tfw a guy from 'back then' is back online but they deleted you from their friends listi cope by telling myself that they probably just gave their account away at some point
>>2939363I didn't even know you could tell who is a mutual friend on your friends list until I looked it up after your post, and now I realized that 2 people from "back then" have also removed me.
>>2939550>"look, it's the guy who keeps messaging me because he think's were friends"
>>2939667Why would a guy massage you if he's only a friend?
>>2939363>>2939550You guys have people from "back then" that still play this game?
>>2940052I ran into a middle school friend returning for Reforged shortly before Christmas.
>there are old friends that legit loved this game and were addicted back then that never came back for reforged
>>2940074they've probably got kids
my guild leader that quit 20 years ago will totally come back some day
>>2939363i wanted to reconnect with my cousin that i went to HS with and played GW with back in like 2008 but pretty sure he wants nothing to do with me D:
>>2940100shouldn't have molested him
>>2940115he has a comic book shop girlfriendi remember said comic shop girlfriend from going to said comic book shop around 11-12 years ago (to play some tabletop game) and i have a very vivid memory of my cousin vocalizing a "i don't know why she is with him, he. is. a. DICK." when she got up for a minute after her floater boyfriend eons ago left the table at the time.is he winning?
