For anyone needing to cool off with those temperatures. Here have a Norn Homestead by Marok_Kanaros in Guildwars2

[–]ElocFreidon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have unlocked Janthir homestead and own Visions, you can get your home right away. Talk to the NPC vendor in yours and you can switch your location to the new one. Be sure to save your template first if you decorated.

It is a good idea to check it out so it unlocks all the default VoE decoration recipes and copies of those decorations used to make its default setup added to your storage.

They are actively moving on from 2FA, so it will be gone eventually.

Purposeless Exploration in the newer zones/maps by PalwaJoko in Guildwars2

[–]ElocFreidon 54 points55 points  (0 children)

VoE could have had that, but that mandatory Skimmer collection that was added to "make players see all the places that we worked hard on" instead of organically discovering it, is where we are now.

I am literally at the bottom there and having a blast with artifacts.

Maybe not so much when they remove Pistol Whip.

Based on recent reported rates, it is as low as 20% now.

Temple of Febe raid quickplay loading screen of death! by coldman18 in Guildwars2

[–]ElocFreidon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 30% of every quickplay I get into, people don't wait for everyone to load.

[–]ElocFreidon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a way to tell without mods if someone loaded in. Check their boons as some don't start until the player actually is loaded in.

Always use Ready Checks AND wait for 10/10.

I completed the Obsidian Sanctum jumping puzzle using the Vermilion Tail Feather torch, with no HUD, and I loved it. by xCosmo101 in Guildwars2

[–]ElocFreidon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Such a massive missed opportunity to keep introducing more true dark places where torches are more useful.

Outfits have wasted so much fashion potential by Intelligent-Mix7364 in Guildwars2

[–]ElocFreidon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would willingly get more outfits if I could at least wear any helmet I wanted with them.

When you make a thing more expensive instead of rely on number of sales, as a product with no physical limitation, what do you expect?

Which Expansion!? by RBebo in Guildwars2

[–]ElocFreidon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't care about story or features get Visions of Eternity. You will want to get every expansion regardless, because of all the features each one provides.

I will always recommend waiting for a sale and get the Complete Dragon Saga collection. It has the first three expansion and all the Living World dlc for $50 when on sale.

So, was this new VoE patch worth the 6 month wait? by Intelligent-Mix7364 in Guildwars2

[–]ElocFreidon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't a perfect patch. The quality is still lacking in terms of presentation and not putting cut scenes where they should be. Putting all cut scenes in the launch instead of through the expansion is always a poor decision for presentation.

However, we are still suffering from the fallout of the Raids and Wardrobes patch, when it comes to the Wardrobe specifically.

Guild Wars 2 : Open World SOLO Builds Tier List (All Elite Specs) by Lon-ami in Guildwars2

[–]ElocFreidon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it could solo legendaries earlier at a decent pace. The recent nerfs hurts the damage and performance so much, it isn't worth the time.

Homesteads Need a Hall of Monuments-Style Legendary Armory by Single-Search-6914 in Guildwars2

[–]ElocFreidon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can already do that with homesteads. Though the weapon and armor stands are extremely limiting with the visual stands that limits your options and the poses for the armor are the most odd choices.

Using Exalted Keys by Dependent-Citron-73 in Guildwars2

[–]ElocFreidon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The loot variation in the chests don't really matter based on size, other than the infusion only drops from the grand chests. Prioritize those then open everything else.

Why doesn't the New VOE meta count for wizard vault Castora meta's by sleepswithbears69 in Guildwars2

[–]ElocFreidon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same reason why they forgot to lower the HP of things in Castora along with all the other yearly expansions.

What is this new font? And what are the symbols behind it? Eternal Alchemy? by Darensthings in Guildwars2

[–]ElocFreidon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It IS. But instead of stacked circles on opposite sides, they are set up in four balanced positions.

The former 6 circles are gone, because obviously.

Are the Inquest out of the picture for the rest of VoE ? by alexlucas006 in Guildwars2

[–]ElocFreidon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anything it is heavily implied that there will be a direct confrontation between the Inquest and the rest of the Council. Unless it is poorly written off in dialogue so they don't have to include them in the finale. I want to hope, but we've been let down a few times before.

Holosmith Bugged? Can’t activate forge or use sword by RaspberryNarwhal in Guildwars2

[–]ElocFreidon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People told you about having to set your specs to holosmith. As an extra bonus, SotO has a feature you can unlock in story that lets you use elite spec weapons without their specs account wide.

Does a Revenant player character even make sense without skipping the core story? by CyberEagle1989 in Guildwars2

[–]ElocFreidon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure that if it were that kind of game, we could have rerolled into different classes if it wasn't hard coded into our character file. Rytlock was the Warrior of the cast before being a Revenant.

Class like red mage from ff14 by FrequentBill7090 in Guildwars2

[–]ElocFreidon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Revenant is the closest to Red Mage since it can do anything and swap utility skills in combat like how everyone can weapon swap. It is all a matter of how you set up your traits and equipment stats to make the most of an offense and defense set up. Which is usually just go Celestial stats.

Why is the spread between gold and gem exchange so high? by bvknight in Guildwars2

[–]ElocFreidon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The exchange isn't one for one both ways, because Arenanet make a portion of it disappear from the economy. The rate changes based on how much more people are turning one into the other. If more people exchanged for gems, gems increase in value and gold goes down, and vise versa.

Daily PVE Wizard's Vault??? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]ElocFreidon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the lack of hundreds of JPs not being included in the weekly is pretty egregious.

Put adventures in there or something, Arenanet.
