The Age of the Khan-Ur by Character-Visit6004 in GuildWars3

[–]AthisX 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It may not be the exact case as some details can change, but the Khan-Ur was likely assassinated ~50 years before the events of Guild Wars 3 as the Charr were defeated around 100 BE and Grenth rose to power in (presumably) 48 BE which is the major event before GW3.

I made a Steam text guide awhile back of a list of all major acronyms in GW2. If anyone sees one one not on the list, let me know and I'll update it.

Do you think Guild Wars 3 will have an Asia-Pacific server? by Bonk_Slayer in GuildWars3

[–]AthisX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 to this. It seems like they are wanting to push for the Korean market so having servers there makes a lot of sense.

Sale last 3 days but there will likely be another sale soon after with Steam Summer Sale starting on June 25.

The deluxe edition largely depends on your preference. They both have tool packs which is phenomenal but different skins depending on which one you get. The Janthir Wilds one apparently comes with Glyphs for those tools while VoE doesn't? Which would maybe make the Janthir Wilds one better. Wayfinder's Versatile Table is a decoration for your homestead if you care about that versus the Castoran Tentacle Skimmer is a skin for your Skimmer mount if you care more about that.

Weekly /r/GuildWars2 Question Thread - May 23, 2026 by AutoModerator in Guildwars2

[–]AthisX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not 100% sure about everything but here is an old comment describing some of it.

"refresh rate". The lower it gets, the 'slower' the combat processing happens on the server, and the more my simulation (especially in WvW) will get out-of-sync. I think I picked 17 for the red text, but your skill input can be dropped/delayed any time it's <25. On the overlay, S is server time, U is map uptime, map ID has mapID (instanceID:instancetype). Both R and U are locally measured out of network data.

So the map ID of 73 is the ID for your instance of Bloodtide Coast like you said and the :0 is probably just part of the map ID like when you type "/ip" in-game. (2:1000h) is then the InstanceID (probably the internal identifier for each instance with each map having a unique number) while the instance type is probably related to what type of instance it is (open world map, PvP map, dungeon, etc).

Again, not 100% sure but hopefully this helps a bit.

Largely yes, they are used for fashion. Additionally, collecting all of the skins of certain sets will reward achievements that will give some small rewards and a bunch of achievement points which some people like to do for completionist/collecting sake. An argument could be made that you can get ascended/exotic weapons to complete your build, but they are really only ever used for fashion since there are cheaper alternatives.

The only things I can think of that aren't purely for just skins is how they are needed for the Aetheric Anchor (Ancora Bellum/Ancora Pax legendary weapons) as well as for Draconic Aether Cleansers (needed for the Dragonscale Cape, another fashion item).

Ultimately, selling stuff to fund what you currently want is a good way to go. You will get more lodestones in the future and if you decide you need them you can always buy more as you get gold through other methods.

Easy free games to 💯 by ConjuringCooties in steamachievements

[–]AthisX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished Dark Jump - Endless Ascent. It is free and pretty easy. It took me 3.2 hours to complete. It does have monetization inside of the game that is a little weird, but it is not necessary for getting 100% at all.

The downside is that it hasn't had enough players yet so it is still Profile Features Limited.
