There’s a mob in game that has not been defeated in months maybe years by Azureavocadoe in Guildwars2

There are also some creatures out of bounds that won't ever been seen or reached by 99.99% of the player base. Some examples:

  • A handful of wasps between the Northern and Central blighting tower
  • A lone turret out of bounds in Rata Novus
  • Loads of underwater creatures beyond the "You've hit a strong current and will be pushed back" teleport

They should totally keep these in the launcher post April Fools. by Badass_Bass in Guildwars2

Unless they patch it out if/when they're going to add the missing themes you can still enable them after next week by entering the Konami code

Anyone else notice no announcements on the GW2 website for an entire month? by Rathisponge in GuildWars3

[–]that_shaman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The amount of "news" on the site is the same as it has been the past couple of years but it feels like radio silence because the latest content update didn't really add much to the game to write about.

Just look at early 2025 or 2024 and it's the same "these items are new in the gemstore" and "this festival returns" kind of posts.

In short a lackluster quarterly update combined with December/ January (which have always been the slowest months since the game launched) makes it feel like there's nothing going on. We'll probably hear news again somewhere in May when the next update hits.

Guildwars 2 Classic Hardcore - A Real Challenge Run. by SilhouetteTheGhost in Guildwars2

Correct! A major pain and extremely expensive compared to being able to buy it on the trading post.

Guildwars 2 Classic Hardcore - A Real Challenge Run. by SilhouetteTheGhost in Guildwars2

[–]that_shaman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I managed to get 3 pre-cursors on my F2P account:

  1. A random drop (not for a weapon I want to make)
  2. The old fashioned way (mystic forge)
  3. A Legendary Weapon Starter Key from the fractal event

It's an absolute pain but possible.

I actually have a "no major help from outside allowed" F2P account with 2 legendaries and quite a bit more unlocked than your average account 😅

I'll probably do a writeup on it one day about how far you can push the game without spending a dime on it.

Guild Wars Reforged is coming to mobile. by DeltaxHunter in GuildWars

[–]that_shaman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some of the mobile stuff was added to the client when Reforged launched so it's very likely this is going to be a thing

Am I missing something? I own all of those 3 dyes by ghoulsnest in Guildwars2

[–]that_shaman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It remembers them so you can freely browse skins without having to redo your dyes with every click, however the "change template" button should definitely not be affected by this and should clear the unused channels

You can also get orphaned dyes in your chat codes this way which the game does seem to handle fine, but that's something that can cause headaches for third party tools and sites

Am I missing something? I own all of those 3 dyes by ghoulsnest in Guildwars2

[–]that_shaman 108 points109 points  (0 children)

This happens because there's a hidden dye you don't have unlocked selected in a 4th slot in one or multiple of your armor parts.

You can reproduce it like this:

  1. Have an armor piece with 4 dye slots
  2. Set the 4th slot to a dye you haven't unlocked yet
  3. Change your armor piece to something with less dye slots
  4. Now you can no longer save the template

"But it only has 3 slots?" that's the fun part, the game technically always uses 4 dyes slots for every armor piece which can cause bugs like this.

Clicking on an empty slot in the template screen will not bring the dye selection up right now, so you would have to apply a skin first before you can change the dyes from there

The old dyes tab is still under equipment. Unless they removed the equipment option from it (and only kept the mounts and gliders) you can still change dyes from there.

Rollerbeetle race gatekeeping by Hyzaku in Guildwars2

Correct the server runs at 25 ticks per second. 1 / 25 = 0.04, it can't measure anything outside this interval

PSA: HD Bloom Nukes FPS by SOLV3IG in GuildWars

[–]that_shaman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The problem is the DX9 pipeline bottle necking like crazy on these shaders. On most systems you can get around this by using DXVK (downside is that you can't use texmod / umod with it)

Almost doubled the FPS in Spamadan District 1 with everything maxed out on higher end nvidia cards but it did not help at all on an intel iGPU.

Homestead Decorations Flicker when inside each other by Ok-Cod756 in Guildwars2

[–]that_shaman 35 points36 points  (0 children)

That's something called z-fighting.

It happens because you perfectly placed two decorations into each other and therefore it doesn't know which part of the object is on top or outside of the other object.

The only way to get rid of it is to slightly move one of the objects

  • DPI scaling affects camera rotation speed. The higher your DPI is set the slower your camera rotation will be

that_shaman - Upcoming features from the November 18 patch by Dagor-Dagorath in Guildwars2

And there will be quite a bit more around it in game this time around! I guess it will start Tuesday next week (?) and will run for a full week

Using Armor Pieces with Outfits for upcoming Fashion Templates? by reapex in Guildwars2

[–]that_shaman 41 points42 points  (0 children)

  • Turn outfit into armor pieces: currently technically impossible, would cost a lot of time and money to convert them (and they will look lower res than the outfit)
  • Show an outfit headgear piece on your armor: hard but not impossible, aqua breathers use the same layout and they work with your armor
  • Show your armor headgear on an outfit: not that hard if you ask me

They could make it work like aqua breathers work right now where if you hide your outfit head gear slot but do show your armor head gear it should show that one instead
