Hey, any #guildwars2 players on the fediverse into data science and interested in helping me with a little (as in specific, not little as in "not a lot of data to parse") project?
Looking for a multiplayer game to spend as much or as little time on as you like? Let me recommend #GuildWars2.
It's an MMO, yes, but one without a subscription fee, without gear grind, and it's not pay-to-win. You can literally drop out for a year, come back, and all your gear and progress are still relevant. It also has a very generous free-to-play tier, you can basically "try it out" for months.
Kind of anxious about the upcoming #guildwars2 patch on the 26th, since they've not released any information about it and I'd really not like to see my characters have their builds ruined again, when I've been playing those same setups for 6+ years (or since 2014, in the case of one they outright removed. Again).
I just want to enjoy the game, not be worried that my characters will get progressively worse for seemingly no reason other than "but raiding."
#GuildWars2 multiboxing hurts legitimate players. This needs to stop.
I ran Dragon's End today. Kicked these people when they joined, before we got a map to play on. They were not able to join our instance via squad.
Within about two minutes, a map queue formed. These people running 5-6 accounts EACH maxed out the map's player limit of 60, and made it so legitimate players could not join and have fun. They waited in queue for an HOUR.
Seven people could not join our fresh map and have fun.
In a game where you can in 95 % of the cases explore every single dialog branch and be a total completionist about the story, having a branching quest where you’re reminiscing about the past and paying respects to characters who have passed away, making the player choose two out of four characters to revisit, forcing you to basically disrespect the other two of them, just feels wrong and annoys me.
Good Morning Friends! This morning I talk about #GW2 and the existential problem facing aging MMORPGs of having a clear point where the story content massively improves. Please note, this post is going to have some story spoilers for #GuildWars2 up through #PathofFire as a result, but does dive into some broader #MMORPG topics.
Thinking about my guild in #GuildWars2 and honestly just guilds in general. I tried really hard with my GW2 guild, we were small and honestly there isn't much support for a small guild, but I tried anyways.
I'll never forget a comment someone made that really annoyed the shit outta me. It was something along the lines of "well I'd play if the guild did things." It was such a slap in the face because I organized things all the time but if players don't show up how is that on me.
Kinda stumbled into a world event train last night in Istan last night in #GuildWars2 and it was really fun. I always feel like the junior team member along for the ride, but people were plenty chill, the commander rode a raptor so us plebs without flight didn't get ditched, and I earned a bunch of achievements.
Was a pretty great time that’ll have me coming back.
I would very much like for Anet to stop designing fights that need highly specific roles to make them more feasible, which then becomes a bottleneck in trying to put groups together...
officially have logs on every fight this patch in #guildwars2
need to get logs for the easier CMs but, I'm really pleased with my performance. I'm hoping I can go out as the #1 willbender when pistol comes out and i eventually have to relearn the spec, chasing mastery on it has been such a fun adventure for me :)
Hey, any #GuildWars2 players working their way through Secrets of the Obscure have the achievement "Fractal Push"? I need to get it to get the new BiS relic for specter but I don't know how to get the achievement necessarily and it's driving me insane and I'd love any help
Finally started End of Dragons! I can't wait to explore the new beautiful areas and find all the new things!!
Icebrood Saga ending was fantastic and I'm really digging the animated cutscenes.
The longer I play #GuildWars2 the more I love it :cat_heart:
the end of #guildwars2 secrets of the obscure was awful. i hope anet knows how limp that whole expansion was. good lord.
i wish there was a game that was as fun to play to me as gw2 is, but unfortunately there isnt so i just have to choke down whatever boring content they feed us.
My mouse broke (boo) and because of how I play heal alacrity Specter I need to get a direct replacement which is like £100. Bleh. Here I was hoping to finally move off Razer due to longevity being iffy and there are no alternative MMO mice with the same number / style of buttons...
