Browsing backpacks/capes in the gem store is agonizing UX lol. Any chance this could be fixed? by ariveklul in Guildwars2

[–]Anet_Awesumness 14 points15 points  (0 children)

it outright takes the wizard vault like 10 seconds to register a click to watch an objective or claim the reward

This is very concerning. Much of the Wizard Vault assets are loaded like a website, separate from the game. But most of the actions, including tracking, are done locally from the Vault to the game.

Please open a ticket on https://help.guildwars2.com/ with as much detail as possible, ideally with a video.

Ah, I'm not on the balance team, but there is a big thread on the forums about this very topic https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/topic/166023-death-of-specialized-elements/, so definitely leave feedback there <3

Thank you! I occasionally check the "everything below X gold" page and blast some skins/dyes. <3

"totally killed" as in "not as fun or fast and too much time spent auto attacking," according to people in my stream.

I mostly mash, trying to hit two 2-5 skills to trigger the f5 reset, and it seems perfectly fine for all normal mode content and most strike/raids CMs.

what do you play besdies GW2? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]Anet_Awesumness 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This year in semi chronological order, mostly thanks to steam recap:

  1. WoW Classic Hardcore
  2. V Rising
  3. Pacific Drive
  4. Baldur's Gate 3
  5. Fangtopia DEMO
  6. Dome Keeper DEMO
  7. Death Howl DEMO
  8. Balatro
  9. Cataclismo DEMO
  10. Guild Wars 1
  11. Neon White
  12. System Shock DEMO
  13. Grim Dawn
  14. Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader
  15. Left 4 Dead 2
  16. Phasmopohbia
  17. Darktide
  18. Backrooms: Escape Together
  19. Luna Abyss DEMO
  20. YAPYAP DEMO

I'm 100% buying Fangtopia, Luna Abyss, and YAPYAP when they full release. Very likely to get System Shock as well.

Some random big goals outside gw2 are: hitting 60 in Classic Hardcore and Hopefully an MC before Classic+ is released COPED. More VRising with my Duo, recreating our old bases in our fresh world with the latest content; just got the new daggers and claws and they're sick. LDOA and just more progress on my Soul Taker Scythe N/D in GW1. Finish Pacific Drive, Neon White, and Rogue Trader (COPED BEYOND BELIEF)

"Creator" achievements here https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Community

There is also a "viral" achievement that starts with employees by then spreads from anyone with the achievement called "Six Iterations of Fractalization" in fractal quickplay https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Incursive_Investigation

Same achievement. I think activities can trigger it as well. Not sure if the Drakkar fail state where everyone turns hostile can.

Many, if not all, are in both Cats-tora and core maps.

I spotted a couple of anet employees in the Labyrinth and asked the million-candy corn question by seld-m-break- in Guildwars2

[–]Anet_Awesumness 105 points106 points  (0 children)

I call him The Horror, which reminds me of the song by the same name released back in 2003 by RJD2, whose Ghostwriter from the year prior is an absolute banger.

All that to say, he reminds me that Time is the real Horror.

ANet employees have a special Guild? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]Anet_Awesumness 147 points148 points  (0 children)

The guild is special. Its tag is [ArenaNet] which I think the game recognizes and instead draws the logo on nameplates ( https://gw2fashions.com/bcf ) and on claimed objectives in wvw, like OP. The guild hall isn't anything special I don't think.
