    Hello everyone,

    After giving it a lot of thought, I've decided that I'll be stepping back from Guild Wars and retiring from the game for the most part.

    Over the years, I've enjoyed sharing builds, discussing ideas, and contributing what I could to the community. When I first started posting content, my goal was simple: I wanted to share things I found interesting and hopefully help other players enjoy the game as much as I did.

    Unfortunately, things changed over time. My old YouTube channel eventually fell apart, and the landscape around content creation has become increasingly complicated.

    More importantly, however, I've come to realize that the social media side of content creation was affecting me in ways I didn't expect. The constant focus on views, likes, engagement, forum activity, and other metrics gradually became something I paid more attention to than I ever intended. What started as a hobby centered around sharing builds slowly turned into something that wasn't always healthy for me.

    I never set out looking for popularity or recognition. I simply wanted to contribute to a game and community I cared about. Over time, though, I found myself becoming increasingly invested in numbers and feedback loops that were taking a toll on my well-being. For that reason, stepping away feels like the right decision.

    This isn't meant to be a dramatic farewell though, and I might still pop in from time to time. But as far as actively creating content and maintaining a public presence around Guild Wars goes, I'm choosing to step back and focus on other things.

    Thank you to everyone who watched a video, tried a build, left feedback, or simply shared a conversation along the way. I genuinely appreciate it.

    Take care, and all the best to the Guild Wars community.

    I'd keep an open mind until more info is revealed but just in case this is GW2-II at least we still have a GW1 that is being looked after by 2weeks!

    But rest assured, we’re not done making Guild Wars 2—or Guild Wars® Reforged for that matter—and we’re committing to actively developing all three games at the same time.

    Tomorrow, June 6, we’ll be releasing a studio update video, and you’ll hear directly from Studio Head Colin Johanson, Guild Wars 2 Game Director Josh Davis, and Guild Wars® Reforged Game Director Stephen Clarke-Willson as they discuss the future of the Guild Wars franchise.

    What is Guild Wars 3?

    Guild Wars 3 is an action-adventure MMORPG, a modern evolution of the genre that blends rich action-combat, character building, and skill collection. Set in the enchanting frontier of Orr, the world brims with mystery, magic, and wonder. Play solo or form a band of adventurers, forging impactful and enduring bonds with fellow players, a formative cast of memorable NPCs, and the nature spirits that call Orr home.

    Hello everyone,

    This post is a follow‑up to my earlier announcement where I explained that I had to discontinue my YouTube channel. At the time, the tragedies tied to gaming in our region placed the entire industry under heavy scrutiny, and I felt it was best to step back.

    Since then, things have changed. With the passing of the relevant bill on April 22nd, there is now a legal framework that allows me to safely continue my craft. This gives me the clarity and peace of mind I needed to move forward.

    As things progress I intend to provide more information on everything, but for the time being I deeply appreciate the patience you’ve shown and the way you’ve borne with me during this pause. Your support means a lot, and it motivates me to keep refining and preparing this repository so that when the curtain lifts, everything will be ready.

    Thank you for standing by me. I’m excited to share this project with you in a way that feels safe, transparent, and true to my values.

    — Kryth

    After careful consideration, I’ve decided to step away from my Guild Wars 1 YouTube channel and remove its content.

    Recent tragic events in the country have understandably led to increased scrutiny surrounding violent video games and related content. In light of the current environment, and with discussions underway regarding potential restrictions or broader limitations on gaming in general, I feel it is necessary to discontinue the channel at this time.

    This decision is made out of respect for the seriousness of the situation and in recognition of the sensitivities involved. I do not wish for my content, however unintended, to create complications for others or myself during a period of heightened concern and review.

    Thank you to everyone who supported the channel over the years. I deeply appreciate the community, friendships, and memories that came from sharing this passion with you.

    Wishing you all the best moving forward.

    Nice concept to use the Signets to upkeep healing under Vow of Silence. You have VoS against spells and Blind against martials, but you have nothing against touchers https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Stygian_Hunger ; https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Restless_…e_of_the_North) , since touch skills aren't spells, they go through VoS. The cool part however, is that you can easily slot "Can't Touch This!" to counter those and be immune to even more forms of damage.

    Hi, yes, thank you - I totally forgot to slot in Cant Touch This!

    I feel it is going to be several toggles, to be honest. It doesn't seem like it's a full graphical remaster but rather a lot of rendering improvements.

    Quote

    "It's not a remaster, but we've really focused on modernizing the experience and reacting to the big influx of new and returning players around the anniversary, and finding all the limitations the game had with modern PCs,"

    Kryth Builds You can find pictures of the graphic redesign via the thread on IGN (link to first post). It's a redesign in the sense that it adapts to 4K screens and PCs that are more recent than when GW was released, including the interface (UI), in terms of resolution (pixels). That's it, there's no need for an option to go back, it's useless.

    I hear you but I think improved resolution (both on UI, skill icons and the game) and the new texture redo + bloom + ambient occlusion update will make a dent in how we experience the game day to day - on top of the post processing effects implemented a while back.

    There's a GW Reforged stream happening on Laranity's twitch channel tomorrow. I can't find the link atm (on my mobile again) but I'll post it if and when I do. Hopefully we'll know exactly how different the game will look then.

    More than that though, I'm interested in the steady stream of updates we'll be getting from now on. QoL also rox hard!

    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.

    i disagree, it would change the original look too much imo (especially after this long) even if it isnt consistent across all of GW.


    I am waiting for Guild Wars Beyond NF (and EotN?) now though :angel:

    This is just my 2 cents but I believe that when they add the huge graphical overhaul, they'll allow for an option to play in the legacy version under the Graphics Tab (kinda like being able to turn Post Processing on and off - tho this might require a full restart of the game if and when u switch) so that players can choose to enjoy the nostalgia when they want.

    Just a hunch.

    I’ll be joining Bobby Stein and Mike Zadorojny for a trip down memory lane on Saturday, November 15 at 9 AM PST for two hours of Guild Wars: Eye of the North. We’ll take turns playing the game, answering questions from chat, and reminiscing on the studio’s history, culture, and games from the 2006-2007 timeline. To thank you for your generous donations, we’ve each been allocated the following incentives.

    Quote from From My YT Community Tab

    Hey everyone!

    I’ve just made a bulk update to the channel — almost all of my videos no longer require age verification. That means easier access, smoother viewing, and no more interruptions when you’re diving into the content.

    Originally, I had age restrictions in place because I wasn’t entirely sure how my content would be interpreted under YouTube’s Terms of Service in my region. I wanted to play it safe and make sure everything stayed within the guidelines. But after reviewing things more closely, I feel confident that the content is well within bounds — so I’ve lifted the restriction to make it more accessible for all of you. Thanks for sticking around and supporting the channel. More updates and content coming soon!

  • Addicted to the game, need help

    Hi Bluey,

    first off I apologize to everyone for not reading all the answers fully (as they are mostly very long) but I have to say that I must congratulate you OP, for being self-aware enough to realize your addiction - and you've also helped me reaffirm that I was going in the same direction in the process...

    But for what it's worth if I were in a position similar to what you're describing I would probably seek professional help because addiction of any kind is a real matter and I don't want to get into the science of it all here now but if you or any of us (all GW players and all gamers really) don't moderate our screen time it could end up harming us one way or the other.

    Also, after realizing I was also on the brink of addiction to GW, I decided to cut back screen time considerably and the withdrawal is real. So I think what I'm going to do is I'm going to cut it back gradually and replace it with more with IRL activities. We'll see how it goes but please do take care of yourself cuz nothing is more important than your well being.

    Kind regards,

    K ~

  • Outpost Running | Proph - EOTN

    Hi all, /wave

    I do both full tours and localized outpost running (Asc <-> LA | Desert Tour | Droks Run etc.) in Proph and EOTN campaigns for a meager fee.

    Feel free to add my runner: Healer Haranina to talk deets in the game.

    Kind regards,

    K ~

    p.s: I don't do nightfall or factions runs - I don't do missions or obsi armor or other sorts of running - and I rarely if ever run for free :thumbup:

    Kryth! Super glad to see you. Looked up your YouTube channel and was scared when I didn't find it. I'm glad you didn't entirely fall of the face of the earth. Definitely will be keeping up with your Legacy posts!


    Cheers!:shy:

    Oh man thank you for your continued support! :) Life's been kickin my butt lately and now there's talk of youtube (and possibly other social media platforms) getting banned altogether where I live. Discord's already banned for a year now so I wanted to move everythin here just to be safe. I still do make some videos in my spare time but I wanted to make sure that the builds could be actively shared so here I am I guess 😂. Here's to hopin it all works out in the end 🙏🏻

    Thank you again for your consideration! 🙂

    Not to steal the look, but the dervish dark blue, do you know the dye usage?

    looks like 3x black 1x blue

    hi idKYRR and Swiitisch . I just logged in to check the dye combination to no avail. Someone is hoarding black dyes again and I couldn't buy enough black dye from the vendor to pinpoint how many I needed for this one dye combination. For what it's worth I was able to confirm that it's not just one black and one blue. I guess what I'm tryna say is that Swiitisch was right in calling it 3 Blacks and a Blue at the end of the day👍😂

    Also, in case you need the armor combination idKYRR it's Elite Sunspear Hood with Chaos Gloves, Ancient Boots, and Istani chest and legs.

    Enjoy!

    Sorry for big picture. Here's what I have worth showing. I have more characters but their armor is basic..

    Not to steal the look, but the dervish dark blue, do you know the dye usage?

    Hi, thank you, by all means go for it if you find it worthwhile. I remember the dye combination to be 1 blue and 1 black but I could be wrong. It's been a while since I made that set. I'll confirm when I have the time to log in and double check 👍🏻
