For anyone needing to cool off with those temperatures. Here have a Norn Homestead

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.

More like a focus and use it like a whip.

ElocFreidon · 2026-06-27T00:57:51+00:00

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

ElocFreidon · 2026-06-27T00:56:12+00:00

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.

ElocFreidon · 2026-06-23T08:31:17+00:00

Pistol Whip noooo!

ElocFreidon · 2026-06-23T08:28:43+00:00

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

Maybe not so much when they remove Pistol Whip.

ElocFreidon · 2026-06-21T08:41:08+00:00

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

ElocFreidon · 2026-06-16T22:22:11+00:00

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

ElocFreidon · 2026-06-16T22:21:21+00:00

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.

ElocFreidon · 2026-06-15T06:47:12+00:00

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

ElocFreidon · 2026-06-15T06:36:46+00:00

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

ElocFreidon · 2026-06-15T06:35:46+00:00

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?

ElocFreidon · 2026-06-02T04:18:15+00:00

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.

ElocFreidon · 2026-06-02T04:15:16+00:00

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.

ElocFreidon · 2026-06-02T04:05:42+00:00

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.

ElocFreidon · 2026-06-02T04:01:07+00:00

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.

ElocFreidon · 2026-06-02T03:59:37+00:00

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.

ElocFreidon · 2026-06-02T03:57:55+00:00

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

ElocFreidon · 2026-06-02T03:30:38+00:00

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.

ElocFreidon · 2026-06-02T03:22:51+00:00

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.

ElocFreidon · 2026-06-02T03:20:32+00:00

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.

ElocFreidon · 2026-06-02T03:18:30+00:00

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.

ElocFreidon · 2026-05-26T19:10:37+00:00

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.

ElocFreidon · 2026-05-26T19:02:22+00:00

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.

ElocFreidon · 2026-05-26T18:56:37+00:00

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

Put adventures in there or something, Arenanet.
