>>2505540
was r/w sword guy using of the +5 str

>>2505595
Not sure, unfortunately I only grabbed the build and not the exact specifics of gear. I'll ask him next time, but +5 str is probably optional, main benefits from running prot strike is it allows you cancel the end lag from your attacks due to it having an activation time. So when you finish your attack you activate it which causes you to instant attack again allowing you to do 2 melee hits very quickly. If you've ever played dagger spammer, all the dagger spammer attacks have a similar activation time effect.

The bonus damage from hitting a moving target is not really why you run it.

>>2505595
I was not, however it is something you should run if you wanna max out the dps.
>>2505634
You wouldn't run it just because of prot strike, it gives 5% armor pen on every attack skill, which is very good on a very spammy build

I only play this game to play monk with other human players. Playing healer/support feels like boring dogshit in other games, but GW manages to make it fun.

not guy you are replying to but what a crazy strawman lol

I don't know why you phrased it like you did, we already have a category of missions for killing all the enemies in an area, it's called vanquish. It'd be nice if they added more areas to the game to the vanquish list, DoA vanquish would be insane though, that's like 800 enemies~.

bro did you just seriously post a screencap of a twitter post
>>2508384
stfu bitch
>>2508385
I think it would be cool to add fow and uw to the mix, not just a few quests from each. otherwise zb is 80% random literally who bosses
you already have doa and slaver's piecemeal

>>2508436
yeah you're a fucking retard

>>2508443
ur so mean </3

>>2508347
>why?
if full clear means doing all of a dungeon, every eotn dungeon including slavers has bounty quests for the final boss, plus ones for kanaxai and the deep. only dhuum, fow, mallyx aren't bounties, and other bosses in those zones are
if you mean clearing all the groups in a zone, there are zvqs
you are at most talking about 3 long areas in the game being kludged into a system that already works. take the khobay, priest, lich bounties and there's your 3x points

whats so great about zcoins anyway

>>2509681
you can make fancy skins for your pvp chars use to be able to make 60/60s but they fixed that finally

>>2509681
you can get a special rune of holding which gives +5 more space in bag slots for 15 total space per bag, and +5 space for belts for total of 10. You can also get heavy equip pack which has 20 slots.

I was playing a lot and having fun leveling my RMo then one day a month or two ago I didn't log on and haven't since and now I'm sad.

>>2509681
with zcoins you can go from 20+5+10+10+5=50 inv slots to 20+10+15+15+20=90

>>2509458
people barely do mallyx anyway and you already have each part of doa as a zb, it's only uw and fow that you have like two or three quests out of the entire area
>if you mean clearing all the groups in a zone, there are zvqs
no retard I'm talking about the chest so all quests
>you are at most talking about 3 long areas in the game
ok and? God forbid we play the game
>>2509681
it's not about zcoins but finding pugs or exposing people to these two missions they would otherwise likely not do
zaishen stuff is pretty much the only way to find people to do content with and people will not do fow or uw unless they are in a dedicated guild in the first place

>>2511274
fow and uw have been power crept to irrelevance and with the new dungeon dropping crystallines and eternal blades there's even less reason to do uw now theres just nothing hard about either one except a few quest they need updated

I don't know what those retards at 2weeks have done to break Hero AI but they need to revert the entire game back to before the reforged update and and leave the game the fuck alone. Nobody wants their faggot hands touching it, we were happy before.

now if he would just nerf derv mes air eles all pve skills or only allow 1 per bar and cut the benefits from cons/pcons in half the game could heal

you can't stop me from running splinter barrage

>>2511831
>>2511723
FoW is the only elite area dungeon that I feel has been power crept to irrelevance which is why I almost never run it because you have to go out of your way to avoid running anything remotely meta to make the run even slightly interesting.

On that note - I mentioned this ingame, but in a week or 2 we're going to do a 4/4 HM FoW run. For those unfamiliar, we'll be a party of 8 and split into 2 teams of 4 to go clear FoW out.

The reason to do this is because it's far too easy to role compress counter everything FoW throws at you in an 8 man party (especially when most enemy parties are between 3-6 enemies). In a 4 man party you need to spend more time considering your role as opposed to just turn brain off and spam buttons off cooldown DPS. Individual player actions carry a lot more weight and feels more satisfying to bring a good off meta build that can carry a party through difficult segments.

Start considering your builds, it'll be 1-2 weeks from now.

>>2511961
Not as much as you think, I like to grab the big 200+ coin bountys/vanquishes and save them until a double week to turn in for 400 coins. Not to mention you can join real players to do dungeon ZBs and other end game areas as opposed to playing with heroes.

Wishlist:

Nerfs:
1) Nerf splinter weapon (too much damage for low investment)
2) Revert Fast Casting (reducing recharge is retarded)
3) Reduce AoE circles of many mesmer dom magic skills (no reason cry of frustration should be an AREA armor ignoring 70 damage AoE rupt)

Buffs:
1) Make Strength give 1.5 pen per attrib
2) Buff Water and Earth magic support skills
3) Cut all dagger attacks with a recharge over 4 seconds in half.

pretty funny when it's from trying to decipher your thought process, asking for a new boss bounty quest for the single area in the game without a final boss. you're infectiously retarded

>>2512585
I need to finish up my pitch for sealed deck pve and post it on the wiki suggestions thing

>>2512433
I think they've soft announced GW3, just by the volume of positions they've opened, and the investor calls. I don't think reforged is bad though, other than this pussy footing around shit. They should go the OSRS route, and be willing to change the game as it was, and more importantly add much more content than they've done. I get they're slowly building up the tools, but they need to lean into it. Make BIG changes and just do not give a fuck about pve hero meta, pvp HoH meta, arm barons, or anything. They can always just roll back to earlier balance patches if they need. Economy can't be undone but as long as the average player is fine, it's okay.

>>2512999
It's clear that they have been focusing less on content and more on systems to support handheld and mobile. With the hiring of Linsey Murdock, I expect there to be more actual content coming eventually.

they're not doing a badge. There's essentially no reason to not do reforged mode unless you just want slightly increased health on things for .. reasons.

File: 185386_v0_large.jpg (53.4 KB)

>Our previous plan to mark titles based on Reforged Mode usage has unfortunately discouraged veteran players from checking out the new content with their existing characters.
The admission. The confession. They admit that their shitty ass changes were staunchly RESISTED by TRVE HYPERBOREANS.
They cannot comprehend that people do not want AWFUL CHANGES and their ego does not let them reflect, or admit fault. No responsibility. This is a woman, and by extension, a NIGGER mindset.
And so they will force the enshittification not only upon the NPCs but upon genuine thinking men too. They will RUIN it sooner than you think. Remember that evil cannot create, it can only destroy.
Every chud "kekking" above thought it's about some badge. It was never about the badge but the a*erican mindset cannot comprehend that some things are not for material or corporeal gain. It was about principles, about standing tall in the face of all-consuming adversity and rot. Never take the badge. It bears the demonic sigil and marks you for life as a servant of Baal. Remain true to yourself and your roots.
And you, neophytes of the Zionist Occupied Guild Wars (ZOGW), you can stuff your new content (heroes with post skills from different campaigns in pre (lmao), nothingburger quests and a dungeon that doesn't even have a section on GWSCR wiki that's been dead already few days after it got released) in a sack.

There's no point in doing mallyx to be fair.

A speed clear of the 4 areas is ~25 minutes give or take a bit depending on the team (can be 40+ with shitters), and from chest drops alone you get 5 of each gemset on average. Mallyx takes 15ish minutes for a single gemset.

>>2518235
It's their fault for a) gating content behind being in clown mode b) failing to actually tell people what the rules were.

Anyone who didn't already have titles on a character who may have wanted them in the future was scared to even turn the mode on because there was no communication about whether that would add a permanent black mark to the character or not. The only way anyone knew was people risking it and explicitly testing it. Even that wasn't enough to convince some people because they (justifiably) were concerned about a silent update that fucked them down the road later.

A lack of clarity is part for the course with Anet though. They've done stupid shit like this so many times over the years it's not even funny. GW2 launch was full of this kind of stupidity. Even a few years after launch there were tons of things where they were trying to patch around people "playing the game wrong because we did something stupid.' GW3 is going to be no different.

>>2521286
I dunno man the text of the article introducing it did state that it only affected titles that you progressed (that is earned an actual title with) with the badge on.
At least that's how I read it.
also.. who really cares about the badge on titles? nobody else can see it but you, it only shows in the hero panel, not what other people see as your displayed title. You'd be the only one what knew any parts of that title were earned with refroiged mode.

>>2507243
I like it, but I think it's kind of unnecessary if you're just looking at finding pugs. FoW and UW are the 2 places I actually see pugs forming in EB pretty much daily.
I don't think it's a BAD idea, as unlike DOA and SEx, you can't just slowly build up to the last boss with ZB's in the individual wings first. So when people do ZB's for FOW they just nail that target and bounce not doing the full zone quests.
UW and Deep already have final boss bounties.
So I'd think it was a great idea.... except I do see pugs form for those.

>>2521418
I was worried about account wide titles personally

>>2521418
>I dunno man the text of the article introducing it did state that it only affected titles that you progressed (that is earned an actual title with) with the badge on.

Does progress mean "I got 0.1% carto while in reforged, so now it's blackmarked forever" or "I earned a rank so it's blackmarked" or "as long as it's not the final rank I'm not blackmarked" or something else entirely? It was shit wording no matter how you look at it, and they did not clarify it at all.

>>2520090
Wammo

File: gw171.jpg (73.7 KB)

>>2522390
the way I read it, it was if you got a rank with the badge the badge would show on the hero panel, and logically I deduced that if you earned another rank without the badge the badge would disappear, because it'd only show for titles that you earned with the badge on, so it'd only permanently mark that title if you completed the final tier with the badge.

Could it have worded it better yeah
But this is what made sense. Having it flag your account with a badge for 0.1% progress didn't make sense, otherwise think about it for DC.
if you died before you got the first rank of survivor title it'd still show the badge for successfully getting legendary survivor later after you were ineligible for DC.. you'd still have a Dhuum badge. That makes no sesne and defeats the purpose of having DC badges on titles.

>>2522361
Nah I knew those were totally unimpacted. I gained the Jinxed title over anni, no DC badge on my DC character (which is also reforged mode since I made it on the day they launched both, but noticed there's no reforged badge on my LDOA, there was until a couple days ago)

actually here take a look, before and after, I gained some ranks on these account based titles and did not get either badge on them, and note the loss of the reforged badge on my LDOA title

this should settle all the badge boogyman fear
but now I'll probably have some sperg attack me over having kurzick rather than luxon. I like the drip better.

There's a lot of really important lore that anet's barely touched, plenty to make a full prequel game. I can't fathom where a sequel game would go unless they're changing genres to be an FPS battle royale.

Maybe we'll finally get an actual story about the "guild wars" that took place prior to GW1.

>>569060996
>>569061173
I don't think there was a GW1 /vm/ thread last time I checked... huh.
Either way, it's exactly because I went through the hassle of getting LDOA in my first character that I don't want to screw it up by missing a quest with unique rewards or whatever.
Isn't there a hero unique to pre searing in reforged mode? I don't have any heroes atm.

We've had a /vm/ thread for the last 4 years or so I don't blame you for struggling to find us though, vm is a pretty obscure board, but I find it comfy.

Main reasons we're not on /vg/
1) Having to spam bumps to keep our thread above the gacha gooner porn is miserable, and I'd rather the general die than be forced to post furry porn to stay alive.
2) We're a thread who's primary purpose is playing multiplayer together, as opposed to discussing the game
3) Being on /vm/ filters the retards, spergs, and bots on /vg/
4) I don't want to share a board with GW2


Anyway, for the new content have you completed this quest?
https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/A_Bastion_In_the_North

This unlocks Piken Square

As far as Pre Searing is concerned, other than the LDOA title there is nothing character bound unique/important for you to miss if you were to leave pre searing now. Devona can be unlocked later, any pre searing specific items you can always get later on a different character and transfer them to your other characters. LDOA is the only thing in pre searing that you miss out on if you leave (which can make GWAMM SLIGHTLY harder)

>>2535519
You're not going to have much fun as a level 20 in Prophecies. That that character as your perma-pre and make a new one, and leave around lvl 5-7 this time.

i can't imagine it being anything other than a prequel. a sequel would require balls and ideas.

>>2536232
They're not going to make a prequel because half their audience is made up of people who only ever want to play Charr, Asura, and Sylvari and none of those could really exist alongside humans in the game's past without a completely alternate timeline.

Wow I was expecting some retardation but just about all of these are pretty well thought out and reasonable suggestions given the PvP meta. Hits about everything I can think of.

>>2539388
It would have to be 2+ hours earlier, or 2+ hours later, I'm busy at 3 PM on Sunday

>>2537617
are you retarded
the reason it's funny is that he's aping gw patch notes stylistically

>>2539388
no we are at church nigga

I'm gonna do it
I'm gonna run Scythe Warrior

I have one but even with that I don't think you can sustain an all energy attack build on warrior without WE or having to manual BIP

>>2545253
get attunements, radiants, and the +5 energy inscription

>>2543051
If we're going to do 1 PM EST on Sunday people going to need to show up on time. Long as everyone is ok with that I'm fine with that time.

>>2547032
the fact that each one has multiple ways to blind and you usually find 4 of them in a pack makes it impossible to not be blind
antidote signet and multiple mend body and soul casts still can't keep up with all 4 of them.

>>2547140

>>2547140
Honestly just run ascan. I actually wouldn't have an issue with the eotn skills being so strong if the enemy composition required them more consistently.

>>2547140
I agree they should have no skills available and be completely still like the skellies in gates of kryta if you go out the back

>>2547321
>actually wouldn't have an issue with the eotn skills being so strong if the enemy composition required them more consistently
and if they only worked in eotn areas

>>2545669
okay

>>2547834
I'd have taken a restriction of 1 outside, but basically yeah. And then I'd make the dungeon staff drops not be limited to primary+inspiration.

>>2547649
no it'd be better if they only had 1 per group so that condition removals could at least keep blind off you effectively. Blinding Surge is still an 8s cooldown so you'd still be having to use those condition purges basically off cooldown to keep up.
but when groups have 4 of them you can't your condition clears don't come off cooldown faster than their 4 blinding surges, and eruption you can get hit by 1 tick of that and you're blind again.
When it's cursed brigand groups they don't have extra wizards in those pulls so their bsurge is managable.
It's when there's 4 and each has a backup blindness.

>>2548229
idk I don't mind them personally but agree they are more frustrating than the rest

>>2548598
I guess if you're using scan, on my ranger I can't really afford scan. Even with necro bow grip energy can be a struggle and I'm stuck manually BIP'ing before pulls

>>2546943
doing Shards of Orr on my full physical team is one of the most painful experiences I've ever had in this game

>>2548645
the last boss fight is kind of fun (have to be conscious of pulling Fendi Nin away from where the drowned crewmen will spawn) but all the wizard groups up until it are just obnoxious. I get through them fine it's just on a martial I contribute fuck all cause I'm blind all the time.

>>2548637
>on my ranger
huh? just use lotus strike :^)

>>2548645
A while back as a meme we started doing bawway speedruns of SoO with 8 dervs and the best strategy for dealing with the blindness was just running 1-2 melandru dervs to AoE blind clear, you could clear blind faster than they could apply, and with AoHM you could do a very respectable amount of DPS.

why do so many nice staff skins get locked to inspiration magic and primaries.. they are essentially unusable.

In a moment of inspiration, I remembered my original Nightfall login info from when I played as a dumb kid (OG 10-energy Chilling Victory my beloved). Most heroes were level 11/14, but Koss remained my stalwart ally. Here was my galaxy-brain loadout for him. It's a miracle I ever managed to get to and kill Abaddon mostly solo. At least I have 4 throwaway characters' worth of accumulated birthday gifts. Anything I should look out for when opening them?

The more I look at it, the worse it is. I think this is why the sunspears ultimately fell between GW1 and GW2. I almost feel ashamed of how badly I fucked it up. But on the other hand, I can at least be proud of how far I've come since then, and I can appreciate that the game's skill system is so good that it was distinctly memorable to me for almost 20 years despite my incredibly poor mastery of it only scratching the surface.

>>2554693
GW2 was the sequel to 1 and people had faith in anet, of course people left to go play it.
Now we have had 14 years to see what post GW1 Guild Wars looks like and it doesn't look like Guild Wars. The people still playing GW1 really want to play Guild Wars.

get fucked lmao.

>>2554578
Won't be that long, I 100% expect anet to get bungie'd and GW3 torpedo's the entire studio by 2028. Hilariously GW1 is now so profitable (10% of anet's total earnings) and with a 2nd studio working on it that there exists a reality where anet goes bankrupt, GW2/3 gets shutdown due to not being profitable enough and GW1 gets to live on run by the OG anet employees at 2weeks. We may actually live to see the good ending.

I agree it's likely that GW3 kills anet, but I think there is a near 0% chance that GW1 servers stay up if that happens. We may very well be in the final couple years of Guild Wars.

>>2555283
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITPzxITngqA

>>2555287
get real, me buying a name change kept the servers going a month alone

>>2555287
Agreed but I actually think it's not totally 0%. GW2 is too expensive to run, and requires too many players to actually function as a game so it'll death spiral without enough devs to produce content. Meanwhile GW1 costs next to nothing to run, and has a studio outside of anet running it right now so if anet collapses, 2weeks will still exist.

I think there exists a world where 2weeks either buys the GW1 IP, or anet gives it to them because it would be their only game that produces more money than it costs to run.

>>2555283
idk what you guys are arguing about but you sound like a fag

I swear it's not just a UE5 thing, this particular aesthetic is a mind virus.
Magic the Gathering recently applied it to their reboot of a fan favorite set for some reason. They've got the same plasticine blob body contouring animal + soft queer human thing going on.

Why was Guild Wars called Guild Wars again? In lore the ackshual "Guild Wars" happened before the events of GW1, ya?

>>2556960
The third Guild War is ongoing in pre-Searing. Some of the quests in pre are even related to this.
There are lots of referencing in post-Searing Ascalon too, with the Krytan Ambassador and Adelbern distrusting him, disowning his son for wanting to go to Kryta as a refugee, etc.
Most of the destroyed stuff north of the wall is actually destroyed from the Guild Wars, not from the Searing.

>>2556960
>>2556965
GvG was likely the center of the original game's design. The warring guilds were (You).
PvE stuff was amplified as a direct response to player feedback. The devs originally thought of it as an extended tutorial and not much more.

>>2556965
>>2556970
And in Factions, the "Guild Wars" is the conflict between Kurzick and Luxon factions, ya?

What about Nightfall? Was it just nigfall-on-nigfall gang violence?

>mysticism is just a better version of expertise

>>2558242
it's less that and more that it does some of what expertise does while also allowing dervs to have full energy recovery rather than gimping them the way rangers are.

>>2558267
dont forget about the armor when enchanted

>>2558313
I mean kinda but rangers get a huge chunk of armor vs elemental so that aspect I can find balanced.
More derv enchants have a baseline of 5 energy cost vs Rangers most their attack skills worth using are 10 energy base.

>>2558331
oh i just mean mysticism in general +armor cheaper skills very balanced

>>2558365
probably.
ranger skills being reduced to mostly 5 energy base would solve a lot of their issues. This shit of "we'll make an attribute lower energy costs" "oh but we'll make all the skills twice as expensive by default" ends up making expertise required but zero sum.

>>2558394
one day they will buff monks wars rangers i want armor pen on all attacks for war and imagine a ranger with a bow

>>2558394
>required but zero sum
I think this is the exact design intention of a lot of primary attributes. It's why Mesmer spell activation times are on the slow side, while elementalists have so many 15 and 25 energy cost spells, and so forth. The design protects class identity by making many of their skills less functional without their primary attribute.

>>2558449
it doesn't protect ranger identity though
it makes rangers realize they're better off going with daggers.

>>2558488
>it makes rangers realize they're better off going with daggers.
this has been debunked

>>2558620
I don't think it has, mate.

>>2558639
it has mate
Together as one bow spam is a very good build, with triple shot being able to do like 250+ damage
