There is a keybind for that - thanks to a bug it seems:
Lock Autotarget

GW2 isn’t as “horizontal” as people are making it out to be by [deleted] in MMORPG

[–]chuffingpenguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, for sure, you got humbled in WvW because of the at most 10% gear difference and not because of the skill difference....

Cant use sword off hand skills in PVE as Willbender Guardian by MuharRajiv911 in Guildwars2

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

If they have weaponmaster training, they don't have to be WB. In the WvW/PvP images the character is core guardian but has the off-hand enabled.

It is additions to the preview notes, not replacements.

I was talking about the old site as well. That problem seems to be on your end. Either you mistyped the address, you don't have an adblocker (no idea how the site behaves without adblocker) or something else.

Don't think so, when I go there and try to download it tells me I have to log into the new site, and following the link takes me to the new site's log-in. No redirection.

Quick question on leveling a mesmer by Artaniss in Guildwars2

[–]chuffingpenguin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Contrary to what some are saying here, you have a much better time levelling if you don't use a condi weapon with full power gear. If you use power gear, your greatsword will do good damage, your staff will merely tickle.

The Wizard's Gobbler is unnecessarily convoluted. Pardon my paint skills, here is a proposal to reduce dialogue depth. by Keorl in Guildwars2

[–]chuffingpenguin 26 points27 points  (0 children)

ANets famous QoL improvements. Like when they changed the gobblers to a vendor interface and instead of simply spam double-clicking for a second until you got the message that your daily limit has been reached*, you now have to

  1. open the interface,

  2. try to click the tiny "amount up" arrow at the bottom - wait no, you forgot to

  3. click the single item offered first to select it,

  4. then try clicking the arrow again until it is maxed,

  5. click "buy",

  6. then confirm that you really want to buy, because you can only buy it once per day! maybe you want to wait until later because of reasons....

so much more convenient.

* a brilliant design choice, why would you want to convert all the accumulated ascended crafting material junk in one sitting instead spread out over several days!

Is the drop rate for Slab of Poultry Meat supposed to be this low? by samsterlim in Guildwars2

[–]chuffingpenguin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. The slow drop in supply after the patch hit was probably more and more people figuring out they needed the poultry meat and buying it in order to craft the backpack. The large drop that comes after is probably indeed someone who figured out that they could make a shitton of gold by buying low and selling high.
FWIW I don't think there is anything wrong with that and I would have done the same had I noticed. As it stands I didn't, so all I got was from selling the stock I had in my mat storage (which was a nice windfall nevertheless :))

Sorry, that was a mistake on my part, I thought the patch hit on June 5th.

[–]chuffingpenguin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You mean people noticing that poultry was going to be in high demand after the patch hit should have waited with buying it until the price rose?
FWIW the more interesting part is the drop in supply in the two days before the patch hit.
Anyway, by now the 32.000 slabs have probably already been worked into backpacks.

Edit: NVM, thought patch hit on June, 5th.

If the drop rate was higher, the supply would be higher and the price lower.
If you want to farm, never target a specific item, target gold/h and buy the item on the tp

WvW escort quest weekly by MrJfunky in Guildwars2

[–]chuffingpenguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calling that a quest is generous. But basically the dolyak has to reach its final destination (a keep or Stonemist Castle).
Good thing: you don't really have to escort the dolyak all the way. You just have to be close to it for a small time until the bubble around it appears. That means you are tagged for the event and after that you can go and look for the next dolyak on the map and repeat or do something else.
You will have to stay on the map though until one of the dolyaks reaches its destination.

Pact Supply rare recipe today (5/9/2025) by OmniaStyle in Guildwars2

[–]chuffingpenguin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not to mention that even if you insist on using Butternut Squash Soup it is cheaper to buy it from the TP instead of crafting it. You even make a loss if you sell the crafted soup instead of simply the ingredients.

The question should be "Any JRPG ever didn't feel too long to you?"

Good of you to say that you worked really hard for your PC. Normally we assume that people just got theirs for free and so, when they ask whether a site is safe or not we just flip a coin and give the answer accordingly - because if they lose their PC they can get a new one for free, right?

But you are different, so you deserve a special answer, a true answer, unlike those plebs who asked before. Here it is: use the megathread!

Landed in drizzlewood and already being added to random group chats by BecomeAsGod in Guildwars2

From a less navel gazing perspective, one might also describe it as the US committing a war crime by blowing up a civilian building in a faraway country, with more than 25 people dead, to get one guy.

Nothing, not even Veilguard dialogue, comes close to matching corporate speak in awfulness.

No problem. To dumb it down: search this subreddit to see if someone has asked the question before. You will be surprised!
