look at the date of the announcement...

maybe it was an April Fool post, like they used to do back in the days and they posted late because they were on vacation or just overslept and forgot

Anyways, I'm super hyped and grateful

Sorry, let me be more clear:
I was not being sarcastic. I genuinely think the game IS enjoyable as always

Bots and spammers have been around for quite a while, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying the game

Quote from Mr. Clean(-Value)

First Post after long time. Starting of with some little ones

why are these still taking up space in your vault?

I don't see a single zero in the gold value

all merch

I'm not an expert, but if you look at the pre-nerf thread, there are purple pre-nerf ranges listed, so anything not there is post-nerf.

PVP is mostly dead, JQ and HA is full of bots, still playable

PVE is still active, loads of people trade in kamadan (crazy inflation for high-end stuff), bots fill the game with consumables, regular gameplay stuff like materials and mods are cheap

Still some good guilds active, and you will get invites in no time

The game goes on sale a few times a year, next sale may be during anniversary. I think the game is still enjoyable as always

Quote from Gentleman Xander

Here are some of the assassin build ideas I came up with. Made one with every martial weapon type.

I assume the "?" is Shadow Theft?

Would you recommend Critical Agility for IAS?

Edit: oh sorry, just read the above, you use BU and pie

q8/16 (tac) Iridescent Aegis (insc), with gold value 200g
... does this drop anywhere?

Make one that's pleasing to the eyes as you will watch your character run around a lot. Class does not matter too much because you can have any class as a secondary! Also you will have heroes and henchmen to help you fight, so any class is beginner-friendly

- Necromancer, Mesmer, Elementalist, Monk, Ritualist: those are spellcasters, they stand at the back and cast spells (Monk and Ritualist also heal)

- Warrior (axe, sword, hammer), Assassin (daggers), Dervish (scythe): those are melee, they run up to engage the enemy

- Ranger (bow), Paragon (spear): those are ranged attackers

Up until you say "Greenland, Antarctica or Himalaya"
I was thinking of Lion's Arch or Ascalon

...

Then I thought... aren't we doing this daily in Kamadan?

...

(edit) my thoughts: Due to work I will not be able to participate. For me personally, reality and Guild Wars are two separate lives. One does not cross into the other, normally. However, I do find the idea of meeting in real life interesting.

just completed survivor solely with raptor farms

by the way, anyone did this with their number?

Quote from Bluey

first day of iron deathless character in pre

wow

Alas, my love had left me
She smiled and passed on gently
At a mere level of eleven
Struck down by a Charr brethren

Death is delete, swift and soon
But what about this gloom heirloom?
Should I save, savor and remember
Or destroy it for the better?

I recall that GotT went from 4e~5e to 10e a few years ago, and then dropped to 7e~6e as of now.

Sadly, everything that can be generated and that a lot of players want is probably botted right now. The prices only reflect how badly people want them and how many bots are botting them.

I agree with Red. Limited minis and pre-nerfs are the way to go. But people owning these (especially the good ones) have little reason to sell them. Whenever something comes to an auction, prices skyrocket out of a normal player's range of paying ability. If you don't own something to begin with, the only way to win these auctions is real-money trading or botting, which in my opinion is pointless, and also against the game rules.

All things considered, I would suggest simply spending currencies on things you like. Get that cool weapon skin. Get that armor. Get the most enjoyment out of the game. What you enjoy has the most value in this game.

Pleikki, I admire your collection very much. Well done.

I have to say sorry to you. A while ago on a thread about customized items I might have made you feel bad with a comment. I am sorry. Wish I could take it back.

Best wishes.

Is it a warrior too? 😂

no it's an ele

first day of iron deathless character in pre

wow

Extreme Makeover changes the gender (male or female). Makeover does not.

Due to a retract, the bid is reverted to 33a
which is Savage Bubba's bid before Royce

Will give 72h after this message before the auction ends

just discovered bosses can drop 2 passage scrolls at a time

auction will end 72 hours after the last bid
go to top

(self-dropped, organic farmed item)

c/o: 33a Savage Bubba
b/o: none

would have been an amazing self-drop

AND I do collect clean-value insc stuff
AND my favorite color is blue

Just saw two of them here fore winter. Lora Lanaya and Ghavin.

I've seen mobs with animal names a few times, but this is the first time I saw a gold pile that wants me to attack it so badly

After I killed some foes and re-selected it a few times, it was still red. During that time, other gold piles dropped and were all normal. This pile was then picked up normally.
I actually hoped I could kill it

Thanks for the heads-up!

20e for that Zodiac Axe 400g

because 20 x 20 = 400

thanks!

Blind Was My Fury Thanks! I took the compliment as a challenge, and went ahead and re-cut all the gold grids into perfect cubes they should look nicer now!

And here's another honorable guest to my collection:

name matches the inscription perfectly it's a nice vaettir shield

Wintersday Gift
cause my birthday is near, and I've always thought those gifts were for me

Marvel or DC?! (and I'd love to hear reasons too)

Some of my personal opinions:

1. Leveling suggestions: When you get to lvl 10, do EoTN first (or at least until you get Xandra and Livia, which are very helpful heroes), then proceed to Nightfall, and then Factions or Prophecies. This way you get heroes early on which really speeds up the gameplay. Before getting to EoTN, characters from Factions level up pretty fast by just doing the primary questline, so I would start from there.

2. Progression suggestions: On a new account, the first goal I would set is to beat all campaigns once (preferably on a single character). This way you gain access to hard mode, most skill trainers, and bosses with elite skills. Heroes on other characters can use all skills you've unlocked account-wide, so you will have access to end-game hero builds on your second character immediately, which really helps if you plan to beat the game many times.

3. Build suggestions: At first only a handful of skills will be available, so just try them out. Use the highest damage skills you have and don't worry too much. As you play through the game, you will find which playing style you enjoy the most. Get BiP on a necro hero early on, and you can try out more energy-demanding builds. I actually use the same bar for all the professions (yes even on a warrior)
[Build=OAdTYUP/RaBaX0mMmURE3JCitBA]
I also love "fall back" on heroes to go through the game faster.

4. Help suggestions: Consider joining an active guild (such as Lgit), people are usually friendly and helpful. Helping and showing others around is a very fun part of the game (at least for me)

Just updated my whole collection! New pictures, with four-season themes for the four attributes of shields. Take a look!

Big thanks to some kind people who helped! Still missing some shields but I'm content for the moment. Thank you all!

finished my last character-based title today
such a clean-valued finish too!

Thanks Blind (for tagging me)!

I agree with the above, 10+ arms
probably auction it, maybe more will be interested

(I'll pass on this one though, only looking for insc shields right now)

First time noticing these gigantic floating pillars in Domain of Secrets

It's incredible that GW can amaze me after 17+ years

They're near the portal to Gate of Madness, if anyone wants to check them out

Hello. These are the builds I use with my fairly new character

Gwen (the usual)

[Build=OQlkAkC8gZezO+EkDmemuhQGAnC]

Ogden (or) Dunkoro (UA is very helpful when anyone dies)

[Build=OwUTMwnC5hhcR6i1j7aLJDs8BA]

Vekk (yes, 1 Searing Flames is not so good, this is just for nostalgia. Feel free to swap to Lightning)

[Build=OgljowMpZO74dBdbsiMoF4iaMA]

Olias (a good mix of offense and defense)

[Build=OAhjYghqIPXzyJGrqKNncDzLGA]

Xandra (also a mix of offense and defense)

[Build=OAOjAyhDJPYTr3ZbzBNdmtkLGA]

Hayda (she is just here to look pretty and shout "Fall back!")

[Build=OQWlIwDbZYaoyIDuA5AcqpLD0y2x]

Livia (the usual)

[Build=OANDUshvSyBUB4BKgbhVVaR3VA]

And, my own build (enjoying a Monk at the moment, still exploiting AP as usual)

[Build=OwcT4UP/RaBaX0mMmUR06LCitBA]

I did have to progress / finish EotN for Livia, Hayda, and some PVE skills

early on, I used a generic Any/Me build with MOX, Kahmu, Tahlkora, or even Koss

[Build=OgWjIwDM7MygLQOAna6GCZgWGA]

Most playthrough seemed easy. Hope you find these useful.
