Fizzee, in Week 2 of the WvW beta. What are your thoughts so far?

It's completely terrible. Week 1 was the same.

I decided to go into this beta without a big alliance group to see how it will be as a pug, and I've only played a total of about 5 hours these last few weeks as it's just awful.

I've seen a whole bunch of commanders speaking all different languages, running god knows what builds, all with their own discord to join... our enemies conversely are organised omega alliances with 60+ on meta classes in an organised discord...

not fun as pug and probably not fun for the enemy.

Thinking forward to go live, the life of a new player and general pugs is going to suck super hard, and without new players and pugs we're doomed

Thank you for sharing your perspective. I feel we had the opposite experience but I'm in a really cool fight guild. I never run without them.
Are you EU or NA?

Fizzee,

EU.
When it goes live I'll be fine as I have about 3 large alliances I could join plus in an active open field fight guild.
But that is why I wanted to try this beta as a pug, to get a different perspective, and it's bad

MithranArkanere, in trying to figure out what to use a resonating ineffable insignia in
@MithranArkanere@kbin.social avatar

Ineffable insignia and inscriptions are used to craft leveling equipment with selectable stats.
They are pretty pointless since they are so expensive to craft, leveling is so fast, and content is so easy at low levels that whatever you craft with them is a soon outdated waste of resources.

It's one of these weird things players wonder why were they added at all since it's pretty much pointless.

rocker, in Dont play Guild Wars but have amazon prime? share your prime gaming codes here!
@rocker@kbin.social avatar

Definitely the wildest riddle I've ever seen for a code lol

svtdragon, in Memories of Vlast

Well, the wiki says you can get extra copies after you're done the achievement, so there's little value in holding onto it.

Extra copies may be obtained by speaking with Adisa after completing the achievement.

loopgru, in Do you find any fun/interesting new weapon combos in the beta?

Surprised no one has mentioned revenant yet. GS is fantastic, and SB is both a ranged condition weapon and- sadly - better than hammer even for power. Herald is a big winner here, ren/vin less so but still solid. I'd say it's between this and ele for the biggest benefit.

enjoytemple,
@enjoytemple@kbin.social avatar

Agreed. Having anything other than hammer for range is welcomed for rev. SB also works in melee for condition builds.

QuantumAntics, in The GW2 "What The Fediverse" Guild [EU]

I'm game for it; I've been in and out of GW2 for a while as my availability shifts, so a casual group to play with from time to time would be great!

Now we need a pillion mastery to take a passenger with any mount.

Leiesoldat, in [GW2Geary] Introducing a website for GW2 player's equipment and build inspection. A dedicated GW2 Armory.
@Leiesoldat@kbin.social avatar

I'll post this in my guild's discord a little later; I'm on the work laptop so I won't be able to open the link, but this looks great to share load outs with inquiring minds and friends.

Terter, in [GW2Geary] Introducing a website for GW2 player's equipment and build inspection. A dedicated GW2 Armory.

Hey,
just wanted to let you know that GW2Geary now has 300 registered users.
I really appreciate people sharing the website with friends. This is the only way to make the GW2Geary more popular.
Thank you all!

Crankpork, in Soaring with the Skyscale – GuildWars2.com

Is it weird that I’m more excited about taking my Gryphon out in an updraft heavy HoT zone than anything else?

winged_fluffy,
@winged_fluffy@kbin.social avatar

Nope, not weird at all. Our guild's discord has been abuzz with excitement and speculation about what we can do with our Griffons by yeeting ourselves through updrafts and leylines in the HoT maps. But we really hope the new maps will contain a lot of griffon fun as well.

man0fbass, in Server Population Link
@man0fbass@kbin.social avatar

I'll add gw2mists to the sidebar, as that's a more feature-complete website with the same functionality. That URL is using a free website host, so I'm a bit skeptical of its trustworthiness.

Edit: it's already there. Reading is hard XD

Kaldo, in Relics Bring New Equipment to Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure – GuildWars2.com
@Kaldo@kbin.social avatar

Nice to hear that legendary runes will add progress towards the legendary relic, really looking forward to it as well. Could be fun to adjust with a special rune for specific raid encounters or having options to do something like that.

I really wish they found a better place for it in the UI though lol, looks really out of place just next to trinkets. Maybe it's just a placeholder although I doubt they'd show it then yet without saying it.

MithranArkanere,
@MithranArkanere@kbin.social avatar

Let's hope it's not too little progress. If it's like just 1/4 of the recipe it'll feel like a kick in the nards to anyone who made 7 runes.

Well, I would just kind of shrug, but I would not be happy about it.

I think the url might be formatted incorrectly in main post, clicking on it there just leads back to this thread

@cheshire@kbin.social avatar

Not quite sure how to go about fixing that. Edit: I figured it out. Thanks!

percentSValue, in Festival of the Four Winds is back!

As someone who just started playing GW2 (after owning it since release) this guide was super helpful, thanks for posting it.

cheshire,
@cheshire@kbin.social avatar

Glad I could be of help!

Defaced, in Server Population Link

I’ve never really found a need to know server population because of the cross server implementation. Seems kinda pointless.

cheshire,
@cheshire@kbin.social avatar

Mostly for those who WvW. Until alliances actually launch, still server based.
