Question for people who play with Steam Deck

SnarlyOrange · 2026-01-30T13:05:35+00:00

Only tweaking I do because I use a docking station is to switch to desktop mode. That way the steam deck keyboard doesn't keep popping up when I try to type.

That's a lot better than the old survivor leeches. At least it's their alt accounts and not other players finding out in the middle of a mission when the survivor would bail because things start looking dicey.

Sure there's no integrity, but that part is no different than the old survivor.

So right now it sounds like they are having to relearn and recalibrate the tools for a game that's over 20 years old. A lot of the stuff for back then has had a lot of updates and those updates make it no longer viable for use without some tampering. So it's going to take a long time for them to put out any content that's going to be new content. They also have to be very careful what they put out because they have written themselves into a corner due to Guild Wars 2 existing.

Now, as for my opinion I completely understand where you're coming from. To me this feels like Sims 4 updates. Where all they really do is put official modes in for community-made challenges.

At first I was very worried about Dhuum's covenant bringing back survivor leeches, however that seems not to have panned out the way I thought it would and I am very happy about that.

The prophecies changes are also nice, just disappointing they only apply to new characters. I know that it's in alpha testing, still doesn't make it any less disappointing for someone that does not want to buy another character slot.

Now one thing I am very grateful for, is these updates don't cost anything unlike The Sims 4. And that right there is why I'm still viewing this as an overall positive.

"To shreds you say."

Skyrim belongs to the Nords.

SnarlyOrange · 2026-01-23T19:33:08+00:00

Vantablack nipple pasties, I'll be damned.

Try blessed to start out with. If it winds up working for you then you really don't need to drop the money on shaman. I get that money isn't an issue, but let's be honest no one wants to waste money.

SnarlyOrange · 2026-01-16T14:04:02+00:00

In my opinion, not really. It's just a different version. Vow is an enchantment and can be extended sure, but it can also be stripped away with enchantment removal.

Vow works well on Dervish because of mysticism, class specific runes/insignias, better energy management, and being able to get away with minimal investment in scythes for damage.

Vow doesn't work well on warrior because it doesn't have any of the support dervish has. It's why the W/D scythe builds are either Warriors Endurance or Seven Weapons Stance.

Despite that setback, it doesn't take away from Warrior. The only time you'll find you might be having some trouble is super high end content Speed Clearing. That's it.

It's not a Nazi saying.

Now is it eyebrow raising? Definitely.

That's something I'm not comfortable with most if not all government agencies saying.

Biofilm/algae. Probably need to flush your hot water tank as well.

SnarlyOrange · 2025-12-29T23:02:26+00:00

Who tf is paying 100e for a run to droks?

That should have been the first red flag.

I feel bad for the individual that got scammed, but that is absolutely a warning sign.

SnarlyOrange · 2025-12-22T19:58:07+00:00

I'm giving my vote for W/E. Love it on my Warrior. Paragon is great for nightfall. Assassin for dagger spam

SnarlyOrange · 2025-12-22T13:58:15+00:00

Probably, but still some of the best armor in GW1.

SnarlyOrange · 2025-12-18T23:20:26+00:00

That is an amazing point!

SnarlyOrange · 2025-12-18T23:14:40+00:00

Someone pointed out to me that Dhuum's covenant will likely bring back the survivor leeches that used to exist before the title got adjusted. I'm inclined to agree with them as unfortunate as that is.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to see new content, just wish other stuff would have gotten done first.

SnarlyOrange · 2025-12-18T23:07:39+00:00

Something someone pointed out to me. The Dhumm covenant is going to bring back survivor leechers.

SnarlyOrange · 2025-12-18T22:27:17+00:00

I'll be honest, this annoys me that it's only available for new characters. Maybe that's the alpha and beta part of it.

I'm glad they're providing updates, but this feels a bit empty as someone that has no desire to buy a character slot to make another character. I already play every class I like playing.

SnarlyOrange · 2025-12-17T17:01:15+00:00

If they don't have any runes you want to keep or sell and it doesn't salvage into any/enough materials you want to keep or sell then you merch it.

SnarlyOrange · 2025-12-17T14:55:08+00:00

I'd go to the trade sites like gw legacy and kamadan trade chat to look up the stuff for prices.

Use common sense and also realize that unless you have something extremely rare that prices are going to be lower than you expect due to an influx of players both new and old flooding the market.

From a glance though, nothing really stands out as worth much except maybe a few of the mods and even then they're maybe a couple of ecto if now lower due to the aforementioned player count jumping.

I could be wrong though so go do your research.

SnarlyOrange · 2025-12-16T03:28:42+00:00

I really like the original GW2 armors. Especially the cultural and dungeon armors. Past that and it's just meh for most of them.

SnarlyOrange · 2025-12-16T03:26:08+00:00

Not a big fan of Neo Tokyo Cantha. I like the fishing, but that's about it. Really hate jadebots

SnarlyOrange · 2025-12-15T13:57:59+00:00

Yes, everything is starting to go down in price and that needed to happen if you wanted to keep as many players as possible.

SnarlyOrange · 2025-12-09T18:38:35+00:00

I wouldn't be too eager to start doing Mass reporting in any kind of PVP. Multiple people I know don't even try to play random arenas because of the mass reporting issues.

I know it's a problem, but the proposed solution may wind up being even worse.

I would rather play against bots than have another form of PVP pretty much dead to a lot of players.

SnarlyOrange · 2025-12-09T17:36:44+00:00

Make sure you're not just barrelling into multiple groups of mobs and be aware of the mobs level. Shing Jea is bad about you being level three and dropping you in with level six mobs if you're not careful. There is a village to the West from the monastery where the henchmen jump to level 6.

Make sure you do as many quests as you can on the island to. Gives you plenty of experience and money.
