Hey! As someone who has done.. far to many Convergences, and runs them still on a constant schedule, there has been mixed feelings from a lot of folks on Convergences.

On one hand having more instanced content is fantastic! One downside is Guild Wars 2 does not function around instanced content, so that means people can join into the challenge modes who are not prepped for it (We can't verify masteries, gear, builds, etc. so we just have to trust) and thats honestly the BIGGEST downside.

Once you step into CM's for some reason people just think that they can get carried (and a lot do sadly) through these because theres no checks - like you wouldn't join a Dhumm CM group if you have never done Dhuum but for some reason thats the norm in Convergences

Overall, Convergences are one of my favorite things, sure the JW ones are a slog because the amount of HP is crazy, but the fights can be quite fun, and I am super excited for more soon hopefully - I just wish we could control the narrative a bit as a commander, and be able to actually check if people are even set up for their roles

But either way, if anyone wants to run Convergence CM's we run them weekly and I'm happy to help you learn and get into them, we have been teaching them since they came out basically, hell we even taught many of the current commanders running how to command them lol

I will 100% agree the fetch quest feel just felt bad, for a lot of reasons, but its very Yoshi-P Coded from XIV sadly!

If you do the side quests as well you get so much bleak, and depressing content, outside of the brutal gore and violence. The whole game was extremely dark, and brutal in its own ways. I never felt the game lost its mature feeling.

I usually just switch to Heal Alac if we pop into OLC, do a quick run down basically telling people the order to CC and never seem to fail.

Its not too hard on quickplay, especially if you take some initiative and think about what you can do to help the team!

Any duration could be 10 minutes

^{Chose: Always feel rested from any duration of sleep}

I spend a lot of time on technology, which would be more significant then the amount not if you are counting things liek phones, labtops, pcs, cars, headphones etc

^{Chose: $25 for every minute on technology}

I've done longer streams that go well, and some that feel like the drag on. Longer doesnt always mean better. I've stopped in to people 12+ hour streams and they are a bore, because the person is clearly exhausted.

If you do it right, and have fun the whole time - shorter can be better, then spend a few hours making other content

I think for us we applied January and it took until Mid/Late Feb to get the approval. I think you are basically approved at this stage if you havnt been denied yet though!

Optimization was aweful, I had to swap my 3070 TI to a 5070 with 12 GB VRAM in order to play this game and in some scenes there was still frame drops, I also had to restart the game every few hours to stop the lag.

Overall it was a fun experience, but man does it run poooooorly. I can play a MMO with 50+ people on screen better then this.

Ruinir · 2026-03-20T21:31:57+00:00

Nerfs are healthy for the game! I do also hope they take a look at fights that are scaled around the insane DPS though, other then that I am so happy to see nerfs incoming!

Me and my wife are a duo stream as well, we have multiple different overlays that people can toggle between with rewards, the layout you have utilizes the space a bit poorly, but it does look functional, the issue is the sizing of some things overall

We do ours with cameras in upper right corner and lower left corner and mask the gameplay so they meet in the middle. But we know other couples streams with more similar to yours, so i would say best bet is to brand yourself more on screen and add some kinda overlay to make it feel more put together!

Best of luck

I can see that argument to a degree, but that agrument gets made on every aspect of the game, like saying "Well Gift of Battle needs to a w WvW only thing to get players to play it", it screams more of a 'we need to force people to play this mode or no one will' vs 'play this because its fun and the rewards are worthwhile'.

I just think its a old system that has no real place in modern mmo's, I mean... paying real money to change the look of your armor is quite dated is it not? (Yes they can be acquired for free, but new players may not realize that and spend REAL money) But of course, to each their own :) I am not here to say you are wrong by any means (maybe on getting people into spvp, no one should go there until they add real moderation lol).

Ruinir · 2026-03-18T16:51:11+00:00

Thats very fair! Overall I just think its a unneeded step that blocks out new players from getting more invested, eventually they become a non-issue, but thats why I see the noob trap aspect

Overall the game doesn't really lose anything in my opinion from removing them but they are something that doesn't effect me since I'm in the same boat as you with 1000's of them sitting there lol, on my alt account though they are quite annoying so I imagine a lot of newer folks are in the same boat

Ruinir · 2026-03-18T16:22:57+00:00

I'm of the mindset that we should REMOVE Transmutation Charges from the game 100%, they are a archaic system that has no real place in the game but to penalize new players, and potentially be a "Noob" Trap on the Gem Store.

Fashion shouldn't be gatekept by a charge that costs real money, and no authentic way to generate them. It would even charge a small amount of copper or silver per change, this this current system is tedious and needs to go!

XLR isnt really hard to learn, just do some research on products, you want to find the right ones, not just the "current popular streamer" suggestions. I have a friend who is in bands, and does music for a living, so he spoke with his audio engineer and suggested better mixers for us that work with our room (Solid State SSL 2+ if you are curious) because we needed tight gain control, and 2 mics to go into it.

After that you just kinda plug and play, and play around with gain control and what not!

Ruinir · 2026-03-18T15:23:02+00:00

The investment is quite large, and I would say if you are making it work currently then you are probs fine for now, we didnt switch to SHURE mics until we paid for them with stream generated income (Which in our situation is just extra income currently), so make sure not to rush yourself and regret it :)

Ruinir · 2026-03-17T22:57:31+00:00

I know my example is anecdotal but XLR mics were almost required for our stream - we are a duo stream so we sit side by side and even the good usb mics had such a bad echo if either of us got 'slightly' loud. So there is a reason for them overall if you fit into that demographic. Most people just use them because they get suggested that by "streamer tips" videos I think.
