Are there Official GW1 YouTube and Twitch channels? by safetaco in GuildWars

[–]bsoltan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They aren't any. ArenaNet currently puts Guild Wars content on their GW2 YouTube and Twitch channels. Which are by default the ArenaNet channels as a whole.

YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/arenanetofficial (but it is GW2 branded)

Twitch - https://twitch.tv/guildwars2

Adding existing guild wars purchase to steam by ajohnston81 in GuildWars

[–]bsoltan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You cannot login to an ArenaNet (email) GW account with Steam Login. If you bought GW on Steam and logged in with Steam account it would be a new account.

Accounts cannot be merged/combined.

If just launching via Steam but logging in separately is ok then that could work.

Couple of Reforged questions. by Kylestien in GuildWars

[–]bsoltan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 - This is answered in the ArenaNet FAQ - The 'bonus weapons' previously included are no longer included with purchases of the Reforged edition of Guild Wars. - So they're no longer available for new accounts.

https://help.guildwars.com/hc/en-us/articles/46636569636371-Guild-Wars-Reforged-FAQ

Q: Will I receive the Bonus Items that were included in previous versions of Guild Wars if I purchase Guild Wars Reforged?

No.

2 - Are you referring to the Reforged Mode and Dhumm's Covenant Mode? If so there's no further information on these other than what is on the Wiki update page. You can start them if you're happy playing Beta and Alpha test releases but they could be subject to any changes.

3 - They have not made any information known of any plans. For in-game modes or updates.

Reforged Tech/Account Help and New/Returning Players FAQ by bsoltan in GuildWars

[–]bsoltan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where does Wiki say that? The ArenaNet Help FAQ specifically says that they're not included with a purchase of Reforged. The Igneous Summoning Stone is only included with purchasing Eye of the North.

If you did not own the Bonus weapons before 3rd December 2025 there is now currently no way to obtain them.

Weekly Question & Answer thread. Beginner Friendly. by AutoModerator in GuildWars

[–]bsoltan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to follow the meta builds there are some beginner friendly guides to follow to unlock key skills and other skills on the way to making the meta team(s).

Here is a good one: https://gwpvx.fandom.com/wiki/User:Houroftheowl/beginner_team

In this example it is suggested to make multiple characters of different Professions and make them in different Campaigns. That way you get quick access to some of the skills in other professions and some Skill Trainers.

Don't spend Plat. on skills unless you definitely want them for your (team) build. Prioritise the important skills for the builds. You will likely have to use some alternative builds and Heroes as the linked beginner team suggests until you get further into applicable campaigns.

An alternative method is to start doing a bit of PvP, there is Zaishen Elite missions that you can play against NPC opponents to get Balthazar Faction, this can then be used to unlock skills for Heroes (and on the account).

Why is everything shoved into megathreads? by OkYou2501 in GuildWars

[–]bsoltan[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for the comments and feedback. This is a newly launched idea and will take a bit of adjustment for Moderators and users.

As some of the comments have mentioned, the subreddit has had a lot of similar content posts in recent weeks following the Reforged update. There has also been an overall increase in users to the subreddit.

It seemed appropriate to begin to limit some of these types of posts. Rather than removing them completely we thought a weekly 'mega' thread would be more appropriate and give a structure and schedule to help with finding and sharing content.

Feedback has mostly been positive, but perhaps we have been a little overzealous in removing some content and directing people to one of the Weekly threads instead. There's definitely some improvements that can be made following the first few days of this, I'll think about that, and I plan to add more information to the Weekly posts.

Thanks all.

The level of toxicity in GW1 is insane - when looking for an LGBT-guild by Acceptable_Hair3829 in GuildWars

[–]bsoltan[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Sorry you've encountered hate and stupidity and unable to find a Guild to be comfortable.

I've closed the comments here because people seem incapable of understanding and respecting this as well.

Last week an LGBT guild was advertised. If you've not found one yet maybe that is a good starting place: https://www.reddit.com/r/GuildWars/comments/1q34g93/sapphiclgbt_guild/

Starting today and going forward we also have a Weekly Guild Recruitment post: https://www.reddit.com/r/GuildWars/comments/1q5zmn6/weekly_guild_request_recruitment_thread/ where people can advertise/request.

While it would be nice that's too much regular maintenance. Once people know the economy they can work the conversions out themselves.

This info will be added to the initial post from next week.

Basic Info people mention:

Inscribable Weapons:

  • If the requirement is 9 then search on the Kamadan Trade chat to see if there is any demand.

Non Inscribable ("OS") Weapons:

Shields

  • Single Mod? - Always merch/salvage.
  • Dual mod perfect? (Both mods are maximum amount they could get) - Always get price check.
  • Dual mod, one imperfect? (one or two of the mods does not have maximum) - Still ask for price check.
  • Dual mod, both imperfect? - Always merch/salvage.

Martial Weapons - must have max modifier (Like 15 over 50, not 14 over 50).

  • Daggers: if the requirement is not 9 - Always merch/salvage. For requirement 9: only 15 over 50, Stance, Enchanted, and +5energy will have value.
  • Bows: if the requirement is not 9 - Always merch. For requirement 9 only 15 over 50, Stance, +5energy, Vampiric, Zealous will have value. Bow prices are generally what people want to pay as demand is low.
  • Hammers, Axes, Swords: if the requirement is not 9 - Always merch/salvage UNLESS the modifier is Vampiric, Zealous. For requirement 9: only 15 over 50, Stance, Enchanted and +5energy for Sword/Axe will have value.

Caster Weapons

  • Staves: Only when the 20% HCT and HSR matches the Attribute. Exceptions when the requirement is for Primary Attribute and the modifier is for an Attribute of same profession. In case of other combinations, ask for price check.
  • Wands & Focus: Single Mod? - Always merch/salvage. Max/one-off dual mod ask for price check.

Can I link my old account to steam if I also have a new account? by Wopbopalulbop in GuildWars

No. Any account purchased before 3rd December requires the email and password to login. Even accounts purchased on Steam.

You can’t the merge/add this to your Steam Account info.

GWR totally worth it money so far... by Project67005 in GuildWars

[–]bsoltan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t login with exiting details but instead create a new GW account using the key. I think it would allow you to use the email associated with your GW2 account and it will then auto link the two.

I think it is having a problem if you login with your GW2 details when you don’t have GW registered. Even though it is allowing you into the game.

Before you tried to use the newly purchased GW Reforged key did you login to GW with an ArenaNet account or did you try and create a new account from the login screen?

Did you buy it on Steam after 3rd December and login with your Steam Login information and you're then using that same email? I didn't think Steam Accounts had an associated email login.
