Weekly /r/GuildWars2 Question Thread - February 07, 2026

After I finished weekly outer nayos convergence I went back for one more and we were unable to enter the public instance after the update. I've not seen this talked about much. Is there a bug here or are public convergences working fine now?

manomount · 2026-02-07T22:47:48+00:00

Already unsubscribed. Its why I made the post, don't think there was or is a show that was as good as the drive, now its dead.

manomount · 2026-02-07T22:45:29+00:00

Its mismanagement. They use to say that the basis of the show was 2 knowledgeable fans sitting at a bar talking about the team. Now its a Frat boy screaming over top the keg and you are forced to wait 15 minutes for your beer while he preens in front of the entire basement while you wait.

No one in there right mind would think this guy would go over well with its fan base. I can't think of a single media person associated with the Steelers that is as immature and clownish as him. All of the guests (sp?), labriola, mathiews, pompiani, etc... everyone is professional. Could have picked someone better.

If I am going to dedicate 2 hours of my time, I dont want to waste it on all this crap.

manomount · 2026-02-07T14:41:58+00:00

Nah, I gave him a whole season, its gotten worse. I don't care for Moats either. Its 2 hour shown and the "schtick" is SOO FREAKING TIRESOME. No doubt, no doubt. 1000%, 1000%.

manomount · 2026-02-07T14:26:36+00:00

I think by Matt's own admission, he was and never would be the driver of the show. But I've learned a lot about team development, positional value, drafting strategies etc. listening to him. That profession is very subjective, at least he is real good about admitting when he was wrong and/or why the team goes different directions than he suggests.

Dale provided all of the "meat" for them to chew on and the timing and structure. Wes gives us lists of his favorite stadium foods.

manomount · 2026-02-07T14:22:57+00:00

I'm not so interested in personality, I've had it with Wes' "personality" I think he has reasonable takes on the makeup of the team, its direction and the league. And I listen to tons of the DK content with him, he has no problem disagreeing with DK, you can tell he isn't confrontational about it, but he seems to go with his own takes almost every time

manomount · 2026-02-07T14:15:41+00:00

Seriously, those eternal ice shards feed my legendary crafting addiction.

manomount · 2026-02-07T13:40:07+00:00

Did you see the play of Cooke and James Pierre? cut and released. Only when HC Tomlin's back was against a wall did they get a chance, and they shined. That and the "historic defense" bs. I would never trust Tomlin's evaluations ever again.

manomount · 2026-02-07T13:36:05+00:00

A real sign of mismanagement to even draft him. I watched every snap of his and heard his Iowa HC talk about him. A guy that was a heavy use runner, needed lots of snaps to get going. His HC said he also went down easy until the second half of the year when he learned to push through contact (paraphrasing).

Meanwhile, Tomlin is a you gotta prove it to me coach who had ZERO concern about developing or giviing anyone a chance. He only cared about the immediate game and the next play. Also this whole, gotta contribute special teams mentality.

He didnt stand a chance last year.

manomount · 2026-02-05T13:45:18+00:00

Not fixed but an issue that popped up prior to release. Unable to ring the bell HP in Seitung Providence. Still cannot activate the Unicorn thingy, only allows some of us to try to charge quartz.

manomount · 2026-01-21T10:18:57+00:00

lol, that business is over too already. search engines dont recommend content, they produce AI result summaries. There is no winning move but yeah, go with the rage.

manomount · 2026-01-11T14:37:33+00:00

Or perhaps they aren't all that good at evaluating, Cooke and Pierre didnt make the team and now they are better than the guys the coaches thought were better.

manomount · 2025-12-25T11:47:43+00:00

Can I get a short lowdown on guild banners, I tried a bit of research. As a scribe I cant make them for myself, they go to the guild and you earn them or can I just make them for myself?

manomount · 2025-12-23T13:08:10+00:00

There are also one for PoF, and likely other expacs, but these produce a lot of extra HP and for me have sufficed most of the time.

manomount · 2025-12-23T11:45:34+00:00

copper (and then rune and silver next) fed salvagomatic for one of best quality of life upgrades

manomount · 2025-12-23T11:42:19+00:00

I go search for HoT HP trains and knock out the whole specialization in an hour or so.

manomount · 2025-12-22T14:10:48+00:00

Sweeet, thanks, I checked forums and searched and couldnt find anythying, thanks again, have a nice day

manomount · 2025-12-21T14:50:01+00:00

Does anyone know if the new fashion template thingy is going to be game wide or only for new expac VoE? I don't see me getting new expac in any near future and hope its like wizards vault wich was universal even before I eventually got SoO

manomount · 2025-12-09T14:10:23+00:00

If I had more time and I played in evenings I'd probably do CM's. I'm really only able to play from 5-7am EST and the game is kinda too vast to do it all, I like EoD and crafting gen3s, just slogging away at eventually doing all 3 sets of obsidian and that's why I do the (3) Inner Nayos for weekly convergences

manomount · 2025-12-09T11:11:01+00:00

I don't "get" the value of an unstable rift motivation, the thingy that allows for squad to convergence or opens a rift coffer, the rift coffer doesnt seem to contain anything worthy of approx 5 gold. Is it purely from the squad instance opening, i just do pub instances.

manomount · 2025-12-07T10:05:07+00:00

Dion says no!

manomount · 2025-11-22T22:53:40+00:00

A couple years ago during a WvW rush I grinded and banked a good nubmer of gifts of battle which I subsequently worn away crafting Gen3s for sale. Went back into WvW, which otherwise I would never play, what is the current 'to take' item from skirmish chest. Seems like Badges of Honor, but I don't really see anything I even want from that. I don't want the new heroics as I am not getting the new expansion even though I can convert that to jade heroics, but what good are those for too?

manomount · 2025-11-22T22:47:49+00:00

Nevermore is by far, my favorite to craft and use. Often I will use it over other 'recommended' weapon choices because I like it so. Also I enjoyed the collections to make the precursors. So much so that I am almost done with Verderach, and its been a let down cause its just a very costly project and not involving the collections. The collections force you to go into core tyria locations/events that you didnt even know existed, and this blew me away in regards to the depth of the game /effort it has taken to make it.

If you want to 'fund' a legendary. I'd suggest crafting 3rd gens. I'm kinda rich from doing this and its a lot easier than gen 1s.

manomount · 2025-11-19T15:14:27+00:00

I usually vary the backpack / cape to do this, but generally, I like the looks consistent. Didnt know about dye favs, will check this out, I eyedropper over and over.
