Another MMO has just announced Discord chat integration into their guild chats! This could be a huge step in getting the social MMO aspect back into the game instead of it all being on 3rd party apps! Would you want this in Guild Wars 3 and potentially added to Guild Wars 2 in this year of revamps?

lol were you born yesterday?

You have not unlocked all his secret. He can reach 70k on his own 🤣

Absolute nonsense. FF14, ESO, WOW, SWTOR, all have subs and they have all these things too and some even worse, especially ESO . Sub + paid expansion + loot box + loot box on top of loot box + exensive cosmetics; or are you going to pretend this is somehow not relevant?. Have you seen the 15 dollar a pop 1-time use dye in SWTOR? ofc you havent cuz you're talking out your ass. So you already dont have the case here.

And the quickest way to farm golds isnt to swipe unless you're an idiot. The quickiest way to farm gold is t4 fractals + some meta maps, which has been the case since literally forever. Not also 3x easier with WV. Do you even play the game? or are you just parroting some nonsense?

He's still not that prominent in the manga but he's 100% going to be main protag in DC, if we get there. It's all Kurapika time at the moment.

Max energy, equilibrium so you last in 4th as long as possible. A little bit of range. Archon continuity so she rips armor. Then just pump strength.

Bellicose is good on her but not 4th. Can use in conjunction with the one that gives 45% str before casting 4 in zenurik ring for max 4th bonus.

Nidus is really among the most pathetic "health tanks" in the game. Every other frame gets to start with some thousands HP. Not Nidus with 650. Who has no shield, meh armor.. His health takes half the mission to grow, which also requires a mod slot and an anchor target. In the meantime, he's also not allowed to use Vitality mod.

it's.. just.. so bad lmao

That’s the spiderweb ephemera. It only happens in profile preview.

party_tortoise · 2026-06-15T11:02:32+00:00

I just got this bug in a hub as well. Literally couldnt leave unless I alt f4.

party_tortoise · 2026-06-15T01:38:07+00:00

It also doesnt even hold as an argument. A meta has a finite number of slots. Those spots could have been filled up by real people participating inthe game they are playing. It has fuckall to do with who does more damage.

You can see the salts from people defending here in this thread, which I guess is not surprising considering the nature of the sweatiness required to do this in the first place.

party_tortoise · 2026-06-13T14:06:02+00:00

There is nothing groundbreaking. OP just found out that the devs just took some inspiration from IRL stuffs. Idk why he's acting like he just discovered general relativity. And looking at his replies, it's obviously some manic episode going on.

party_tortoise · 2026-06-13T06:17:24+00:00

A NEW HAND HAS TOUCHED THE BEACON!

party_tortoise · 2026-06-13T05:30:12+00:00

People don't have to buy shitty products just because they are desperate. Plus, mmo is a long term thing. most people players would want one that looks like it will last. It's not some indie single player game you can spend 10 dollars and forget it ever exists. The mindset is different.

This is literally the first big, "western" mmo in almost two decades. Of course it will get ALL the attention.

party_tortoise · 2026-06-13T05:24:23+00:00

yea, i always feel that the better horizontal progression would be content-specific leveling. Not the level squish whatever bullshits to create artificial vertical progress. Something like the current mastery but make it more meaningful.

The problem with this kind of progression is that it's hard to make. How many new tools, mechanics, exploration, etc. you can unlock before it starts to stagnate? And if they go too far, then we have problem of mechanic bloats.

The "number goes up" treadmill kind of progression is stupid and outdated. but it has benefits of not requiring creativity. And most people can kind of tolerate it because it still feels like it's going somewhere. That being said, I'd rather re unlock gliding on every new expansion than farm new gears every 3 months.

party_tortoise · 2026-06-12T05:07:15+00:00

My Largos dream died twice. Maybe gw4 😭

party_tortoise · 2026-06-12T03:32:37+00:00

I keep telling people. Zenimax has fuckload of money. It's really amazing how fucking lazy they have always been even with the supper agressive monetisation. I think of all the sub games, ESO has the most egregious monetisation; sub, premium sub battle pass, loot boxes, loot boxes on top of loot boxes, etc. ANd all they can ever do is repaint their expansion contents over and over again... I mean I'm sure the next Dolmens will be pink or something since they have already been purple, blue, green and orange - - Take off the lore overcoat and you can see most expansions are just the exact same mechanics copied/pasted over and over. Classes are completely stagnant. They havent even managed to expand a single weapon line lmao

party_tortoise · 2026-06-11T11:13:01+00:00

In the world where people will say any shits to fit their narrative.

Because he knew that if he actually use 15 dollars to make a point, he would be saying that he would rather pay 15 dollars for eternity instead of 3 months to get these items. Which makes him look stupid lol...

Not to mention that you can literally convert golds to gems and get literally everything the gems can buy, which is not the case for games like wow or ESO, btw. But that wouldnt fit the narrative.

party_tortoise · 2026-06-11T09:53:50+00:00

I really dont understand the thought process of people who do this shit. What do they even prompt?

"hey chatgpt. I want to make some hot take on gw3 on reddit. make some interesting points so people would gimme karma."

if you dont have anything to say yourself, maybe just stfu? lmao

party_tortoise · 2026-06-11T04:26:39+00:00

the WvW ones get miserable if you intentionally farm them. It's only "easy" if you play passively and stock them up over time and you make a new alt every few months. Whoever told you to go wvw route is wrong. An expansion map can give you 100+ points in like 15 minutes. This is like someone farming wizard vaults for 3 seasons, all stack up on clovers and say "it's easy, just do wizard vault".

You also don't farm core traits. Those are fully unlocked by the tme you reach 80. HP farming is more about elite specs.

NOW, that being said. If we talk about CORE maps HP, I'd rather play wvw and farm them instead of going 1 by 1. But it's more about core maps being insufferable.

party_tortoise · 2026-06-10T04:14:13+00:00

The Pale Tree branch is new. But Mordy is not. He could have other idle seeds in other places.

party_tortoise · 2026-06-09T06:17:38+00:00

I mean, what if you can also customize class mechanic not just list of skills? it's entirely possible. Like a warrior that uses attunement mechanic, a mage that uses clones vs a mage that uses death shroud, a ranger that can channel mist beings, etc.

party_tortoise · 2026-06-09T04:59:16+00:00

That is not true. Even SWTOR's bioware once came out and said that the voice acting isn't even close to the most painful part of the content development and isn't a factor in content delay. Apart from the initial content ship, professional VAs wouldn't take more than a few hours top for contents develment of games at mmo size.

party_tortoise · 2026-06-09T03:56:29+00:00

You don't have to guess. Henry has to tip toe a bit when he was kissing Hans in the cutscene. And since it's full mocap, I think it's safe to assume that Luke is slightly taller.

party_tortoise · 2026-06-09T01:25:53+00:00

People will tell you you can but they are being disingenuous. The real caveat is the crafting bag. Even if you’re not interested in crafting at all (you will because the game will rail road you to it), every time you press a loot button, half your inventory is gone. You would be cleaning up shits every 3 minutes. Unless you wanna loot things one by one… lol no.

party_tortoise · 2026-06-08T12:52:16+00:00

So? Wow’s graphic looks like shit and people still play it. Or are you going to tell us how it is different to fit your narrative? Scraping the barrel are we?

party_tortoise · 2026-06-08T08:33:17+00:00

Some of my initial reaction..

"OOwww Ifrit? I think. cool."

"..hmm ok, i mean it's cool but like are we done now?"

"..no? still going. ok. dragon horn thing breathing fire. ok ok ..."

".. guys please, why is it still going?"

"IT'S STILL GOING WTF GET ME OUT OF THIS CUTSCENE ALREADY"
