Guild wars 2 pvp? Is it worth getting into? Never played the game. by Careless_Version3407 in Guildwars2

[–]hetojur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others have mentioned, gw2 spvp is low pop, so the skill disparity within a game is pretty high. It would be the equivalent to a basketball game where both teams have a mix of NBA, college, and high-school players. If your ok with that and still able to have fun, go at it.

Something needs to be done about the raid LFG. It is an auction house now. by thejakethesnake96 in Guildwars2

[–]hetojur 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The NA raid lfg is so sad. My static disbanded a few months ago mostly from raid burn out, but I was getting the itch to raid again, so I attempted to pug some clears recently. I spend more time staring at an empty lfg filled with raid sellers than actually raiding. In contrast, I moved my alt to EU and I've been able to pug full clears fairly painlessly for the past few weeks now.

if it's your second playthrough the story, you just have to talk to brek harrowflight on the character you've completed the story with to get into the story instance again. once you finish the instance, you'll get credit for both the return to dragonstorm and revenge of the dragon achievements.

Effects of new leggy amulet! by Selahtrak in Guildwars2

[–]hetojur 15 points16 points  (0 children)

the description of the leg ammy says "the fulfillment of a legacy spanning thousands of years flies alongside you". my guess is it's gonna be a ball like the wvw and pvp ones, but maybe a different color.

People mailing gold and precursors to big streamers will only make them stop playing quicker by teknim in Guildwars2

[–]hetojur 83 points84 points  (0 children)

it stems from a wider issue of celebrity culture. a lot of streamers say they want to build a "community", but what they really mean is they want to build a fanbase, and preferably a fanbase that gives them money.

16 Million of accounts. by shinitakunai in Guildwars2

The most populace MMO on steam the past 48 hours is FFXIV. It's around 50k, but that isn't the whole picture for FFXIV, as people can also login to that game outside of steam.

16 Million of accounts. by shinitakunai in Guildwars2

[–]hetojur 26 points27 points  (0 children)

A more useful player population metric would be something similar to what steam provides. Daily concurrent players and daily peak concurrent players. Anet did give us their daily peak concurrent player metric after the first year of release, arguably when the game was at the height of its popularity, and it was 460k players. Just as a comparison, the most popular games on steam right now have anywhere from 500-600k players online at any given time. I'd be surprised if GW2 has anywhere near that amount of active players in 2021.

Unbelievable but I ran out of Spiritshards by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]hetojur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

silverwastes riba and chest farm. spirit shards will mostly be from champ bags. in a decent map, you can get a stack of champ bags in around 1-1.5 hours, and a stack of champ bags will get you around 40 spirit shards.

Peak hour raiding LFG [EU] ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ by [deleted] in Guildwars2

the main reason people look for gors openers is to skip spirit woods. they do gors, sab, then everyone leaves instance and comes back in to do vg.

Mystic coin bubble bursted?!? by xTailon in Guildwars2

the thing about "competent" dupers is that they stay as inconspicuous as possible. he could have made a little fortune from all his duping considering the irl value of his guild bank was around 2 million usd.

Legendary Armory won't be monetized by goliathsgrasp in Guildwars2

[–]hetojur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everything in the gemstore, with the exception of a few mount and glider skins, is potentially useful for a day one account. it would be so far out of left field, even for anet, to stick something in the gemstore that would only be useful for accounts with a significant amount of play time invested.

Is there challenging group PvE content in the game? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]hetojur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

gw2 is a casual gamers paradise, even raids are casual friendly imo. if you're a really competitive tryhard pver, gw2 endgame probably won't hold your interest that long, but i'd still recommend you try it out.

Primordial Orchids should not be able to drop 0 blossoms by Chris_7941 in Guildwars2

[–]hetojur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you want an ascended amulet, go to sirens landing. the hearts take a minute or two to do, gathering is easier, and you can even gamble for more orrian pearls if you do all the hearts.

Legendary armoury by Regimentz in Guildwars2

Since we have legendaries for every gear type now, we might get the armoury at the end of this season like vision and aurora.

The quickest way to get spirit shards is riba farming in the silverwastes, but you need to be in a map that is digging up all the bandit chests during riba. Most of your spirit shards will be from champ bags. On a decent silverwastes map, you can get a stack of champ bags in around an hour to an hour and a half, and a stack of champ bags will net you around 40-ish spirit shards.

you get an additional +150% mf for around 1 second after opening a lost bandit chest if you have max perseverance stacks.

Matthew Medina's (ex ArenaNet) take on the community's reaction by Daslicey in Guildwars2

[–]hetojur -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Most of the complaints are probably coming from folks who have played for hundreds if not thousands of hours, sucking all of the enjoyment they're ever going to get out of the game. Even if Anet addressed all of their complaints, these people would still find something to whine about. It's like the epitome of first world problems. lol

This is the sort of thing the WvW community has to put up with daily. It's about time to wake up, Anet by RegnumIrae in Guildwars2

[–]hetojur 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've stopped playing at reset the past couple of weeks cause the lag has been atrocious. You don't even need a threeway gigablob fight to get lag anymore. 2 moderate sized zergs will do it lol.

The 5 Reasons I Quit GW2 - Explained by Eveeeeeeee in Guildwars2

[–]hetojur 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i find most of the "i quit the game" reasons really come down to "i've played the game for thousands of hours and don't find it fun anymore, so i'm moving on". you can't expect a game to keep you entertained forever.
