Having to redo a meaningless trash pull to reset your title eligibility feels bad.

Having to stand there doing nothing while waiting for mechanics to resolve feels bad.

Not being able to use my dodge to mitigate damage feels bad.

Seeing my friends gear and learn builds they don't actually want to play just to pull a reasonable numbers feels bad.

This encounter feels like it was designed for a different MMO. I think it would make a great mythic+ boss.

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

I would recommend replacing the Silver-Fed with Mystic Salvage Kits if you have stones to spare. It's less gold per salvage :)

As is tradition, the WP analysis video is significantly longer than the content being previewed. All is right in the world.

ArenaNet officially moving away from Twitter as primary means of communication (en-forum.guildwars2.com)

We have always used the official Guild Wars 2 Twitter account as our primary place to give players updates and information on emergent game issues, among many other things. What made this channel so useful was that it allowed us to communicate quickly and succinctly, and our entire community could see the updates regardless of...

gw2updates@botsin.space is available as an unofficial fedi alternative for critical game news if you're looking for something to follow.

Torch as a replacement for warhorn feels awesome. More cc, damage and might. Very nice.

I invested in a set of runes so I'll be interested to see how they'll either preserve the power level or compensate us. Having a legendary relic from the get-go would be nice.

Mukluk - June 28th Guild Wars 2 Thoughts (www.youtube.com)

He doesn't seem to have a lot of positive opinions about the balance update - applying boons on druid seems much much worse than before (requires lots of ability spam and makes CA part of rotation instead of a reactive action), scourge has been hit hard and suffers from the same problem as druid when it comes to boon application...

One of my friends is currently using qHeralds for HTCM. This patch is making them reconsider due to the lower access to roads.

Hopefully staff is the weapon warrior needs to actually run a good healing build.

Seems like they're removing the 6-rune bonus and putting that in relics. You can take whatever stats you need in runes and then have whatever strong passive you want without fucking over your stats.

Thanks for helping the fediverse, CosmicSploogeDrizzle.

Glad to see this community moving over. I'm a lurker but I always loved reading the discussion :)

I don't think the GW2 subreddit is going to be able to set a NSFW flag to help continue the protest. News has already broke about Reddit replacing mods that did this in several of the big subreddits because setting the NSFW flag on what was SFW is a violation of Reddit rules. My personal opinion is that the community just set the subreddit to read only and transfer to other federations.

@Ravi @Leiesoldat A lot of the power users who submitted the bulk of the content have stopped posting. Casual lurkers will follow eventually.

I remember when all of my gaming friends were on Skype and Teamspeak. It took some time, but now we all use Discord. Someday, Discord will die too and we'll move on to Revolt or something else.

It'll take time for reddit to die and habits to break. But we'll be here once folks are ready. https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/#hey-guys

Hopefully it's actual gameplay and not RP that makes it long. I much prefer faster fractals, but I'll take what I can get.

Logitech G600 if you like having a LOT of buttons. Had mine for years and it still hasn't broken.

As everyone is settling in, I wanted to highlight the importance of hashtags. https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/67017/YSK-adding-tags-will-make-your-posts-more-discoverable-on

man0fbass,

@dominoko Yep. Search on federated social media doesn't actually search text, only hashtags. This makes it so only people who want their post to be found can make it easily findable; cuts down on the quote retweet dunk kinda stuff.

Anet does seem to be keeping things fairly close to the chest nowadays. They're only giving details on the next update and keeping any future plans vague at best.

iirc that was happening for kbin.social for a while during a ddos attack. cloudflare does mess with federation quite a bit.

man0fbass,

It's slow going for now. I'm just glad we have a reddit-like place to go in case reddit collapses further.

I have no control over what the subreddit mods do. If you'd like to speak with them, I'd recommend a modmail.
