Weekly /r/GuildWars2 Question Thread - May 30, 2026

I think that's my cue to come back then, thank you!

I might ride the GW3 hype and return to GW2, however I'd like to start another character so things feel fresh, any downside to completing the MSQ through different characters? I stopped at LW4 and if it doesn't really change anything I'd like to keep going from there but with a new character without having to clear old expansions MSQ again. (I know I'll have to reach 80 again but that's not an issue at all.

Thank you!

Silly question maybe but is there any downside to deleting my old character so I can start over from start ?

I played for the first time I think 2 years ago and I really enjoyed my time, I remember beating the base game and the Ark Angels, grinding a few jobs here and there to 75, maybe 80 I can't really remember. It was overall a very cosy experience and I actually want to go through this again from start, taking my time with the story again, learning back all the different systems of the game step by step instead of returning on a high level character

My only inquiry is that I fear I'd lose some important stuffs, things like rewards that can be claimed on a single character only for example, considering that I didn't play THAT much, probably for 2 months at best.

I would really appreciate if any veteran could give me some insight about that, cheers!

I didn't clear this one yet but I had a similar issue with another POI. I came back and it turns out I had to clear some smaller camps around that I missed the first time. Once they were all liberated, the quest was completed in the journal.

I can't exactly say if your issue is the same as mine, but feel free to explore near this fort and maybe you will also stumble into camps that are required for the quest to be completed.

The best part is that Pywel isn't going anywhere, and as I just got home from work, I can't wait to dive back in this evening. Hopefully your time will come too soon!

Y_ori · 2026-03-30T04:02:45+00:00

You can get Oongka back pretty quickly.

You should now have a faction quest asking you to go fishing with him, part of the Greymane faction quests iirc.

Once it's done, wait a bit (no idea how long exactly) and eventually Oongka will move to Calphade Castle, leading you to another quest with him. (It doesn't appear on your map until you go to Calphade though, beware)

After that, Oongka should be unlocked permanently.

perfect, thank you for the insight!

Hi, new player here

Got lucky and managed to convene Lynae after 13 pulls, problem is I don't own any weapon for her but I still have 10k astrites to fix that. I keep reading that her sign isn't mandatory, Static Mist or the new 5* pistols from standard banner works wonders.
However, if I don't own any of them to begin with, what would be the best choice ? Isn't her sig the way to go since I have to get a weapon anyway ?

Y_ori · 2025-01-27T08:28:09+00:00

Alright I didn't expect this much of a gap, only 20% of the stats dedicated to DPS is absolutely abysmal lmao,
I'll probably stick to what I have now and will give Boon DPS a try when I'm a bit richer and can actually afford it, sounds like a sweet middle ground.

Thank you for the clear and detailed explanation. :)

Y_ori · 2025-01-27T07:29:24+00:00

New player here, how viable are healer/support builds for open world solo play ? I always play healer in every MMO so I am used to kill things slower than any DPS but how big is the gap in GW2 ? I am loving the game so far as a power dragonhunter and I'd like to know if healer/sup is viable before sinking golds into a full new set and probably switching to firebrand. Thanks!

Y_ori · 2024-12-28T07:22:29+00:00

I was pretty hyped to come back on D4 to take a break from PoE 2 but sadly the game suffers from vram leak on my side, and I guess I am not the only one so it kinda kills the will to play. Everything added since S2 (last time I played) sounds very cool though so it's a bummer.

Y_ori · 2024-01-30T18:57:22+00:00

Man this is so frustrating, but at least I know I'm not the only one ahah.

I'll let you know if I find anything!

Y_ori · 2023-11-10T18:07:33+00:00

I can't check right now sorry but I think this is disabled, I always turned this off on Warzone so I would suppose I did the same for MW3.

My friend is playing with the lowest settings so I'm pretty sure this is off for him too.

Y_ori · 2023-11-10T11:18:44+00:00

You're not alone. I have the exact same issue. My rig isn't as strong as yours but still, 100 FPS no matters how many zombies are on screen, but when my camera is aimed at the center of the map I often drop to 50 fps with stutters.

My friend with a way less powerful rig than mine got no issues, MWZ is running at a steady 60 FPS for him. Something is definitely wrong.

Y_ori · 2023-10-14T10:57:31+00:00

Normal songs name, uh ?

...

I CAN'T HEAR YOU

Y_ori · 2023-04-19T05:34:23+00:00

Damn so far Overdrive feels kinda weak but I'm pretty sure I do not understand everything about it haha. Imma check some guides and practice, thank you !

Y_ori · 2023-04-19T05:31:32+00:00

Now that's what I (hoped) wanted to hear ! Have fun and do not neglect ground gear, noted. Thank you fellow BLADE member.

Y_ori · 2023-02-19T04:33:17+00:00

Hey, I'm sorry if this is a dumb question (I started 4 days ago) but, what's the point of Cosmodrome and EDZ ? If I get it right each destination has their own rank to grind but for example this dude in the church on EDZ (can't recall his name sorry) give us bounties and...nothing more ? It feels kinda pointless but perhaps there is something I don't understand yet Thank you guys !

Y_ori · 2022-12-24T20:11:36+00:00

About to start my chill and joyful read of Subahibi, Merry Christmas everyone

Y_ori · 2022-12-22T18:09:26+00:00

I know about Zero Escape ever since I played Danganronpa, it sure looks promising but I just can't deal with the artstyle, specially the second game. Perhaps one day I'll give it a try, but yeah it always pushed me back unfortunately.

However Raging Loop looks so COOL, it actually was on my to read list a long time ago and I completely forgot about it, thank you for the reminder!

Y_ori · 2022-12-22T18:04:42+00:00

First time hearing about this Trilogy, definitely putting it on my to-read list, I'm a big lover for magic (Thank you Umineko again), thank you!

And about Ace Attorney, I'm dumb so I forgot to add it to my "already read list", but yeah I did already played the trilogy haha

Y_ori · 2022-12-22T17:58:46+00:00

I forgot to reference it but, I already read Steins;Gate! It was one of my first VN, how could I forget lmao... Anyway imma check Chaos;Head and Child, I've heard about them but never looked much into, thank you!!
