yeah, nothing to do with GW. i would like to ignore it but i guess i will be negative

Why is not being interested in GW3 negative?

I see so many people saying this when it's perfectly natural to know what you want and what you don't. I have zero interest in GW3 atm, and I played through GW2, and tbh, it's just not for me. Is it being negative? I don't believe so.

For anyone, like what you want and just don't be an asshole about things, and you should be fine with expressing your interest or in this case, a lack of interest in whatever you want.

2650 at highest count.

Their are multiple factors as to why no one posts "LFG" in most areas. As has been mentioned, the games age has most long term players using their heroes, or playing with their established groups. I know quite a few players who are regulars and get together nightly at specific times. Another reason is GW2. Like WoW, players play together... alone. Unless you're doing a fractal or dungeon, there's no reason to team up long term. Just show up to an area, smack down the event enemy and then leave. It wires people into playing solo and they carry that back into Guild Wars. The last reason is that people who are wired into using heroes, or playing solo, don't always value playing with other people, in the sense that they might do things differently. That usually causes irritation for individuals who log in, do the daily grind and just get out.

I think it's safe to say that Reforged is geared more towards newer players, or those that are regular GW2 players and want more for the HoM, even after all these years. The QoL additions are still welcomed by GW regulars though.

What are the odds that they look into improving the framerates in a few Prophecies areas? Now that they've been looking into the game in more depth, the two infamous ones most people know of are just inside and outside of Fisherman's Haven, as well as the snowing area of Iron Horse Mine. The framerate just drops to half, even with modern rigs.

Second, does anyone think they'll go back to the compiled list of ideas (Guild Wars To Do - Google Sheets) from the community and see if anything else can be implemented?

What I'd like to see is the little things that were talked about years ago, finally being implemented. Things like updating the fire animations from the expansion, and adding them to the older games. The same with running water animations and textures. Other smaller things like repositioning the NPC's so that they're like the GWEN versions, instead of just standing lifeless at the designated spots. I'm not expecting major changes to storylines or even new quests, understanding that this isn't feasible without a larger dedicated team.

Guild Wars Server Population & Player Count - MMO Populations

According to this website, this is the current players, based on the anniversary. 14K is a pretty decent count imo, for a game that hasn't released any real new content in over a decade.

5,727 is the average estimate of daily players.

Just to clarify here, are the last two update notes posted purely to let players know what's coming on the 15th and beyond? Because I didn't notice any update at all when logging in.

The most realistic will be a few pve skills much like previous anniversaries.

A release of GW2 skins is also possible, seeing as they've done it before.

Wishful thinking here... a Glint mini, which many have asked for would be nice, as well as an UW skeleton tonic. Would be neat to run around as a skeleton!

You seem to have a decent understanding of the update, so what is the reason for them doing this? And does this mean anything for the future of the game?

"Preparing for a compiler upgrade to Visual Studio 2022." Does this mean that GW will stop running on Windows XP? →[ »Halogod (talk)« ]← 23:11, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Yes. And Windows 2000. Ideally Windows Vista will survive but we're still checking on that. Stephen Clarke-Willson (talk) 23:16, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Reading this, it made me think. Are there any people who still play this game on those older OS's still to this day? Seeing as how it was possible up until this point.

I was playing around with Text Mod and came up with this for Halloween. I'm going to add a little more to it but for now I'm looking for inspiration. It really sucks that I'm the only one that can see it though.

Hearing about this gives me that same type of feels like when you're in game back in the day, and you get "A new build is available" pop up in your chat bar.

Ten new skills for my characters sounds like a lot of fun and I'm hoping that the sales are decent too.

Glad you both enjoyed it! And remember, keep that dust because it's soooooo rare!

Had a really fun time finishing Fissure of Woe and hope to group up again in the future! The second pic was Cosy, myself and a few others back in 2014.

For anyone who's joining, what IGN should we be looking for?

It's showing 9PM GMT according to the internet.

In any case, I'm at ToA at this very moment.

I know it isn't a lot of notice but Friday (27th) at 4PM EST is still a good time if people are ok with that?

I'm figuring that we're just having fun so NM should be ok? And if anyone wants to use cons, I'm fine with that too because it's a long play through when doing it normally. We can just meet up at Temple of Ages.

Look for Auri of Ascalon.

Posting again because I'm having trouble locking down a time and may have to postpone. It's a little more difficult to get in contact with people than I imagined.

Sorry all.

Sorry for the late reply.

Most likely it would be around 3-4 EST but I'll check with the other two people to confirm it and nail down a time frame, then post it here.

Looking for a few players this coming Friday (27th) to do FoW. Not looking for speed clear players or experts, just want to have some fun and complete the area.

So far we have myself and two others willing to go.

Saw this on reddit and thought it was interesting, so asking the hypothetical question here.

If "Save Yourselves!" was a Luxon/Kurzick paragon skill, what would a better or at least different PvE warrior skill be to replace it?

Saw this on reddit and figured it would only be a matter of time until someone else posted here. LOVE hearing that updates are still coming, no matter the size.

Is it time for more cupcakes?

I don't think there's anything to worry about.

They've stated before that GW cost very little to run and the work we got as of late from my understanding, has been off the clock and if that's all we'll be getting, then I'm be grateful for it. They've also stated that GW2 will continue on as scheduled.

It just sucks that people will be losing their jobs.

I was deleting a character today and only then did I realize that runes from bags aren't salvageable. Fourteen years and I never gave it any thought and threw them away.

Now that a single rune is 10 gold Z coins, perhaps an update might be a good idea so that pouches and bags are salvageable?

Maybe that could be added to the reddit list of things to do?

So in the last while I've been noticing that hard mode hasn't been all that hard.

To clarify, the mobs still hit as hard as before and seem to have the same attack speeds, but their health and armor seem to have been reduced to a point where feels more like medium mode. Am I the only one who's experiencing this?

Just to clarify, this is what I was referring to. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/28…506/unknown.png

I don't use discord so I have no idea if this is real or not.

Came from this page https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/c…ebruary_5_2019/

Some people on reddit have posted that there's another update coming today. Anyone else heard about this?

I agree Cosy that the cost might've been better at five gold Zcoins each, based on what you're getting for it. In my case, I'll just look at it as long term goals for each character I have.

Also, the Xunlai upgrade was a fantastic surprise and absolutely welcomed.

Also wanted to make a note that the upgrades also can be applied to Charr bags.

I just upgraded my inventory and noticed that the descriptions are switched. Hopefully this gets corrected soon.

Attrition was my original attack inside the wurms but save yourselves along with the res sig, seemed to keep them in a cycle that was just efficient enough to keep them at full strength, along with the acolyte backing them up. I also tried downing the monk so they'd burn through the SY skill in the hopes to overwhelm the rest by wasting their collective pool of energy.

Even though I've beaten these mobs before (It's been awhile), it confounds me how they were able to maintain a full res party for longer then a 10 minute duration against a full team of wurms that could kill each npc with three hits on average.

And yeah, the Anet part is just wishful thinking.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? You have awakened cavaliers in a full mob where one or two isn't really that bad but when you get 3 or four with a monk back up, the res situation gets out of control. The simplest response is frozen soil to counter with, along with interrupts, but that's difficult to do in wurms. It's also fairly standard that the cavaliers are complimented with melee to destroy spirits. I think the solution to the npcs is to remove either the res sigs, or hardwire mobs in a way that prevents more than two per party.

Is that even possible and does anyone think it could be changed these days?

Staying consistent in the way this forum have been run... it's moderation, the staff and the layouts of the forums have been pretty top notch. More of that in whatever direction this forum chooses to go will be good enough for me.

As for the suggestion for a shout box? I'm on the fence about it. On one hand it really does enhance the community by bringing them closer together, but it also allows for escalation of issues to grow wildly out of control without strict and heavy moderation at all times.

There are some people who join forums just to troll these spaces and it sours the over all experience for the rest.

Worked perfectly. Thank you very much!

Quote from E T

Yep I have, and no idea why 😂

Just out of curiosity, was it after a windows 10 update? Specifically 1083? This is the one that did it for me and it caused a few other problems as well.

This is a new issue after a large windows 10 update that's made it so whenever I map to other outposts or change zones, the game minimizes to the task bar for roughly 6 seconds showing my wallpaper every time.

Previous to the update, zone and outpost loading was almost instant with zero minimizing. Has anyone else experiences anything like this before?

Well that sucks but I'm guessing it's still easy enough to get 100%

Back before the skill change, Necrotic Traversal was a great way to map the small area that Rurik travelled during the mission. Is there any other way currently to gain access to that path again?

It's been quite awhile since I've bothered to map anything and for the

life of me, I can't remember how to uncover this portion next to House zu Heltzer . Anyone remember how to access that spot?

EDIT: Answer given.
