Bumping for more visibility and getting those low req. shields! Thanks for looking.

Why can we no longer like posts in this thread?
Looks like they changed it to the "react" feature.
This is correct. The forum software was updated recently and it changed the thumbs up/down to the Reactions.

It is, but you're unlikely to find players to do that now. Maybe if you find the right Guild/Alliance.
Other ways to get Faction these days are through Deep and Urgoz runs, again in the right Guild/Alliance.

When you open up the Skills window and try and Load a Template what path does it show?
Normally (C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Guild Wars\Templates\)
Have you tried putting these folder names into Google Translate? I don't know if it is a language or just characters.
Did you recently have a Windows update or notice anything different with Windows Language settings?
-
Very cool! Nice to see that area re-created in a different engine. Did you have to create art for the textures yourself?
The lighting is very pretty and effective in Unreal Engine.

What if this was done on an alternate account? Never tested but there is an item or two I would have always liked to transfer.
It is the same thing regardless of account. A ‘character’ for this purpose isn’t defined by the name but by an unique ID generated. This ties into any customised items.
-
Older me would assume the armour is actually customised you a character ID under the hood, not a character name..
Yes this is exactly how it works, the same with customised weapons.
-
Woah impressive. New weapon options and some new Elite Skills. Colour me surprised!

Hello all,
Thanks for the reports of the spam conversations some of you have received. Sorry about that! The user has been banned and we're aware they may have contacted several off you but it should stop there.
Please do not click any links and I've messaged Kevin to see if there is anything to prevent it happening in the future.Regards

Helllo everyone. So i believe many toolbox users got banned at December Update 2019 so I would like to ask if I can still use toolbox these days.... Any opinions about that?
There aren't any facts to back this up. Here are some statements from the developers:

and don't forget there is only one developer working on GW and not full time.
To our knowledge there is currently NO developer working on GW for any time.

Good discussion but as Max pointed out it got off-topic from the original thread.
I've split out the relevant posts, please continue discussion here. Thank you.

Interesting first post.

Having reviewed this content: the link provided by Tsoy has been removed due to the 'kamadan chat' site purposefully promoting and advertising gold/item/account selling for real money as well as profiteering from Guild Wars.
GW Legacy and the wider GW community including the GW Sub-Reddit and GW Global Discord will not link-to or mention sites that advertise or promote Real Money Trading (RMT), Gold Selling or any other actions that promote such activities.
Discussion of such things is allowed hence this thread has been reinstated, but only as long as the rules of the forum are followed.

Hey all! We decided to wait until after the holidays to publish the letter. We felt that it would be better received by Anet at this time. So now that the holidays are over, stay tuned! bsoltan
Thanks for the reply. It might be nice to address the lack of communication and information on recent bans that seem to be effecting many people.

Very cool idea, loving these Mercs with costumes! Look forward to seeing more of the Ministry's adventures.

Yes, the GW update changing the compiler has broken many of the third party programs, tools, bots etc.
KAOS is currently working on updates to the launcher, I think a version is available which is being tested. If you.
They're currently working on Toolbox updates and a beta is out for that too..
You can get latest info in their Discord.
I saw someone say that it broke GWdressup. I understand GWMultiLaunch still works.

Hi Veritas,
If you're using imgur as a host then you need either the Direct Link or BBCode link:
You can use the Direct Link with the "Image" in the forum toolbar, paste it in the Source box.
The BBCode can be directly pasted into a post and it will display the image.
There we go!

You'll also find a thread on this forum for BiP Support.

You can't be serious right ?
Did you ever checked the List of Bugs and Anomalies at GW Wiki ? I can accept the clipping and the armor issues but the skill ones please don't tell me that they are not important.In your post you said "continue making updates/fixing stuff in the game" - I'm aware there are minor bugs with certain things but I'm not aware that any of these have ever been fixed or considered to be fixed in the last year since we got some quality of life updates. Maybe it is just my misunderstanding of your sentence.
The only one I can think of is the 'fix' for certain skill use by AI, which could be considered a bug I suppose.
Since most of these other bugs have been in the game for many years I doubt there is consideration for fixing them now. Would be good if they did though!

Welcome back!
Depending on when you last played, no the game hasn't changed much at all.
There hasn't been a skill balance since Elementalists in 2012. Last major content update was 2015 anniversary update.
Most recently there was a few quality of life/UI/graphical improvements in 2019.
You can see the game updates here: GW Wiki Game Updates.
Regarding builds you'll find Hero builds in our Team Builds section, and on GW PvX.
For your player builds; from what you've mentioned Assassin is probably optimal, then Dervish (Dervish higher if you have skill to ball enemies regularly). With Ranger the best DPS is Daggers anyway so you may as well play Assassin.
Best of luck on your return!
-
Iaerah has been doing some theme tweaks - you may find it under Change Style (bottom right of the page) - The Dervish?

This was shared by /u/crisisknight on Reddit but thought I'd make a thread for awareness here too.
ArenaNet are celebrating the 20th anniversary of the studio's creation by producing an art book that spans GW and GW2 art and concept art. It is being created by Dark Horse.
To be released in March 2020.
History of ArenaNet: https://www.arena.net/about
https://www.darkhorse.com/Books/3005-153…sary-Edition-HC
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/The_Compl…versary_Edition
QuoteExplore the living history of Tyria through an expansive collection of never-before-seen concept art, production material, and creator commentary from Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 that offers exclusive insight into an ever-changing world inhabited by millions of players! The continuing growth of the Guild Wars franchise is lovingly detailed by the ArenaNet artists themselves in a volume that commemorates the studio's 20th anniversary.
If you find any other stores please post below.

I would certainly like to ask about having an official community contact for GW1. Stephane still updates the wiki when Bill released updates, someone still does the Twitter and Facebook when GW goes on sale (probably Stephane too), but no one interacts with the community to give some transparency and and support to the players and results in threads like this.
Can we continue to expect GW and GW.com store items to go on sale around holidays/events? Is this the preferred choice over a permanent price reduction?
I agree with the above that with Bill leaving and no answer from Anet about it we just don't know if QoL changes are still being looked at or are we back to 2017/18 with server maintenance only.
Similarly as mentioned about bots in PvP and Gold Sellers. They gave us a chat filter which would indicate that they're not that bothered about permanently stopping this or actively removing these users from the game. Without giving an official answer that they won't.
Ideally if we could get any questions/answers I'd ask about how reports are handled. We've talked about reporting them for way over a year now. Is it actually worth it? Does anyone look/action it. We don't need to know detailed specifics.
Then some more fun questions:
Is there going to be anything special for ArenaNet's 20th anniversary, and GW's 15th anniversary?
Did they expect GW to remain this popular coming up to 15 years from release?
What is the future for the franchise, is it 100% GW2 or is there are GW3 in the distance, or maybe something else entirely?
What games do they see as their main competitors now and in the future?
One simply but rly crucial question for me:
Are they going to continue making updates/fixing stuff in the game ?
I doubt they gonna give any straight answer (insert marketing bs here) but you never know, let's hope ?
Was there actually anything broken in the game that has needed fixing? QoL updates were made, yes but I'm not aware they was any problems/fixes put in.
If anything, they'll give another developer the option to do it in their free time. I doubt they'll use company resources for it.
Since March 2019 Bill Friest was already able to do GW1 development in his work time and even confirmed that he had got another developer involved to work on things. So they were already using company resources for 6 months.
for me i will ask :will there be a new mini pet, tonic and new emote in the same style rank ha,zaishen... or not?
Well. Their answer on new content for the game since it went to maintenance mode has always been "No". Out of curiosity what mini pet/tonic would you want and what is the rank emote supposed to be for?

Oh, my sweet summer child. Welcome to GW 2019.

The most popular general farm build, and the default for most farms, is the Spirit Spammer Ritualist. Spirits provide not just a continuous barrage of single target damage, but also several distracting bodies for you to hide behind so your enemies don't kill you. Spirits are immune to hexes and most conditions, so their only real counter is damage, but they can easily be healed and moved out of harm's way, or just replaced if they die. The real drawback is that spirits strictly deal single target damage, making them relatively slow, and sometimes incapable of overpowering healers.
Build
[build=OACjAmiMZSXT+glTfTVTQTAAAAA]
-
Against small groups of melee enemies, a Flashing Blades Assassin Dagger Spam can excel.
Key Skills
Spamming the [Jagged Strike] Jagged Strike -> [Fox Fangs] Fox Fangs -> [Death Blossom] Death Blossom attack chain deals exceptional single target damage, and the build has room for plenty of defensive optional skills.
Counters
The greatest threat is having these defences removed, or simply taking too much damage from the enemies before you are able to kill them.
Build
[build=OwBi0xjI5wwwcwAAIBVDCAAAA]
-
A popular but somewhat outdated farming build is the 55 Monk.
Key Skills
Having low health and using [Protective Spirit] Protective Spirit effectively removes any danger from damage, so you can tank as many enemies as you want, with a free Elite Skill and other optionals to kill them.
Counters
This is entirely dependent on Protective Spirit not getting stripped; in areas with no enchantment removal, Vow of Strenth may be a better choice anyway. Still, the effective invincibility and opportunity to use this on any character with secondary monk can make this a nice choice for some farms.
Build
[build=OwAU0A3+UoS1D3VGEAAAA4kyDAEA]
-
A more resilient build is the Vow of Silence Dervish.
Key Skills
[Vow of Silence@10] Vow of Silence provides spell protection and [Grenth's Aura@11] Grenth's Aura steals enough health to keep you alive.
Disadvantages
The biggest disadvantage is that for general use, the damage is not as fast as other builds.
Build
[build=OgCjkqqLrShXdftXAAAAAAjhOXA]

Against enemies without dangerous attacks, an Obsidian Flesh Elementalist has extremely high damage potential.
Key Skills
[Obsidian Flesh@12] Obsidian Flesh removes the threat from spells and [Stoneflesh Aura@12] Stoneflesh Aura neutralises any remaining damage.
With enemies unable to cast, [Wastrel's Worry@12] Wastrel's Worry and [Wastrel's Demise@12] Wastrel's Demise are free to deal huge AoE damage over time.
Counters
Unfortunately this build is very vulnerable to attacks; interrupts, stance removal, health degen, and just too much damage can easily get you killed.
Build
[build=OgVUI4hgkEPSftxXFAAAAA3UZA]
-
For large numbers of enemies with ranged attacks, a Ranger with Whirling Defense can be ideal.
Key Skills
With enough foes attacking you, [Whirling Defense] Whirling Defense will deal a lot of AoE damage over time.
[Shadow Form@12] Shadow Form removes the threat from spells, and [Shroud of Distress] Shroud of Distress is sufficient protection against most attacks.
Disadvantages
The downside is that Whirling has a fairly short duration and a very long cooldown, so you need plenty of ranged aggro to guarantee you can kill the enemies.
Build
[build=OgcUcXs5lPP8Id2BEAAAAACnjD]
-
Key Skills
For enemies without dangerous spells, Vow of Strength Dervish is great. VoS and Sand Shards provide sustained AoE damage.
Counters
The main counter to the build is enchantment removal, since you are reliant on your enchantments for survival as well as damage. Cover enchantments can be effective, but you also have to worry about interrupts, hexes, and simply taking too much damage.
Build
[build=OgCjsysaKOfbzL7FAAAAAAAAA]
Additional/Optional Skills for Solo Farming
The PvX page linked above is aimed at general PvE rather than farming, so here are the other skills you should be considering.
[Eremite's Attack@9] Eremite's Attack hits all adjacent foes, triggering VoS on all of them, making it exponentially more powerful.
[Staggering Force@12] Staggering Force is a good choice for a feeder enchantment because it applies cracked armor, magnifying your damage.
[Conviction@12] Conviction is a good alternative for areas with annoying conditions.
[Ebon Battle Standard of Honor@5] Ebon Battle Standard of Honor adds armor-ignoring damage, allowing you to farm high level foes.
[Mirage Cloak@12] Mirage Cloak has an extemely high block chance, allowing you to tank a lot of attacks. Combine with Extend Enchantments to maintain it.
[Veil of Thorns@12] Veil of Thorns significantly reduces incoming spell damage, allowing you to tank most casters.
[Armor of Sanctity@12] Armor of Sanctity effectively shuts down incoming melee damage.
[Death's Charge] Death's Charge gets you out of bodyblock, heals, and easily jumps to the centre of a ball.
[Drunken Master@5] Drunken Master increases both your movement and attack speed; moreso if you use alcohol.
