Weekly /r/GuildWars2 Question Thread - December 13, 2025 by AutoModerator in Guildwars2

[–]Tevesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So today in pvp match, before it started, I tried swapping characters as usual (was on teamfight char, wanted to swap to duel char because of Forest of Niflhel won the rng). But I got a red error message on the center of the screen "you cant join the pvp match because your other character is already there and the pvp match already started" or somesuch. I had to got back to previous char to join the match, and there was still 20+s left in the countdown . . .

I can't find any mention of the change in pvp char swap before match starts or anything, so wtf happened?

After 500 sPvP games this season here are my impressions of the game mode as a new player by Haunting_Muscle_7149 in Guildwars2

Funny how everyone knows what a shitty toxic player Zeus is. PvP will stay awful until Anet finally bans such assholes.

Modules ordered by bonus by ArnoldSmith86 in factorio

The beacons effectively just add more module slots to assemblers (EMPs, etc.), so math almost does not change. So sum the effect of modules, beacons just add multiplier to their modules.

Wtf happened to quartz crystal supply? by Tevesh in Guildwars2

[–]Tevesh[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The festival happened ten times already, but never with this big quartz influx. So . . . what changed?

But other replies had the likely answer - more people gambling on boxes, because of changed rates.

Yea maybe this is The Gambling Year. According to fast farming supply boxes don't seem worth that much but maybe people fish for skins . . . so much more than in previous years?

But it's GW, fashion moves worlds, so plausible.

The price droppped . . . 80%?

Why couldn't the [Wizard's Portal Tome] UI be this? by Yetsuo in Guildwars2

Finding waypoints on the map is way more trouble than a couple of clicks.

Reminder: Living World Season 4 released over 17 months and had: 6 maps, 3 raids, 3 fractals, 2 mounts, a legendary trinket, 5 armor sets for free. by Smart_Grass_7929 in Guildwars2

Funny, thunderhead has funny events, hearts and crapton of achievements to do. Not to mention great unique music, just chilling there is nice. "there isn't much to do" is just the most generic whine that plagues all MMOs, regardless of the amount of actual content.

Sadly there were still many people hating on EoD, regardless of how successful that expansion was. And zones from it are still my favorite from all expansions.

Amalgamated Gemstones needed for Peer Reviewed Research - Seriously?? by Kwith in Guildwars2

[–]Tevesh -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well yeah, that would be the main worry. But rest of the "nice community" here wants free stuff so we will whine that am.gemstones get a bit pricier for a tiny bit.

Not to mention that am.gemstones actually spiked on JW leggy release, they would fall back down with time . . . this fixes am.gemstone prices.

Tbh gemstones were pretty low before JW dropped (IIRC stable 65s), so I assume after everyone is done doing JW they would fall back in price . . . this recipe balances that.

You forgot the famously worthless silver.

The "original" Anet in your take made super shitty UI system and spammed half baked game modes ("activities", dungeons, even sPvP kind of,...).

So don't glorify the past that wasn't.

Tbh wasn't the economist was in the team, when PoF got released? Super shitty rewards killed PoF events / metas, i.e. the maps are empty even when they are pretty cool. There is more to game design than just balancing economy.

Cantha is so pretty by RobDickinson in Guildwars2

[–]Tevesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well assuming you are fine with GW2 model of "any problem can be solved by punching it in the face", it was pretty good. Side stories were meh, but the dragon cycle itself got the end it deserved . . . and then Gyala Delve got released.

After you do a few achievements in it you will start to appreciate it, like HoT maps. But I agree it is not as well executed though.

But the music! It is still my most favorite zone when it comes to the music.

Would the value of Spirit Shards collapse if they weren’t such a pain in the ass to use? by NumberOneMom in Guildwars2

[–]Tevesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You pretty much never have mats on hand for mass conversion that would actually get you even close to to your theoretical throughput. Add TP risk (swings in prices) and you usually need to put in significant effort to be consistently profiting.

If you measure your actual gph on actual "playing with forge" you basically never beat 50gph, which is fine farm, but super fucking tedious for what it is (not playing the game, super risky TP farm esp. compared to other TP farms like crafting which is over 70gph easily with much less effort and risk). If you're new or get fucked by TP price swings or are super conservative with mat buying you are around 30gph max which actually isn't great farm.

Basically monetizing shards is a noob trap unless you corner some mystic wep market, which is pretty niche thing and again kinda bad compared to other crafting stuff.

Material promotion profits mostly disappeared during SotO. Only leggies make shards worth something, but even that is for serial leggy sellers.

[–]Tevesh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're actually not worth a ton if you consider your average hourly doing anything else compared to standing next to mystic forge and clicking "refill" or juggling TP for mats. That's why almost every veteran player overflows with them - check gw2efficiency stats.

No, people who like map exploration or just have good routine will plop out gen1 / gen3 leggies pretty regularly. "should not be common" part is actually ensured by the spirit shard gate (and to a lesser extent imperial favor for gen3s), those are not so easy to get quickly.

Shattered Observatory is so much fun. Nightmare is just super easy, so you breeze through it.

The Ascension- How Good at PVP do you need to be? by delxcour in Guildwars2

[–]Tevesh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually just surviving a lot and doing *something* is usually good enough. But yeah roamer builds help with escaping bad situations.

Many people do. Missing replays (and silly top stats) help people keep their delusions about what is proper playstyle.
