I wish they'd make some significant improvements to the elementalist. Among the issues with them we have a severe lack of really viable builds.

A.Net hates the elementalist class. It was nerfed to hell in GW1 and became not too viable. They are doing the same thing in GW2...

I don't think the daily got harder at all. I did the combo one in about 5 minutes with a guild group during the Balthazar temple chain and I did the dodge one in about 10 minutes in Southsun on the karka there. If you dodge their initial attack you get 2 or 3 dodges/evades that way. Everything else was trivial pretty much.

And the event officially starts today at 12pm, which is about an hour and a half from now. We're instructed to head to either Hoelbrek or The Black Citadel and talk to some npcs there.

It's really annoying when you get this sound bug in, say, WvW and then have to go the rest of the time you want to WvW with sound muted cause you don't want to restart the client and end up back in queue.

It's been over 5 months since launch and this problem STILL exists(regardless of audio quality settings). It's can't be THAT hard to program audio that actually works properly. Pretty much every other game i've ever played has managed to function properly, i don't see why arenanet can't figure out how to do the same.

There's been some major patches. I know the latest one was about 600MB in size. There's usually a change every two weeks or so. Regardless of their "small" fixes updates will still be 50MB in size.

Oh and ignore the %. It lies IMO.

I think they take the number of files that need updating and turn it into a percentage.

1 out of 100 files = 1% but that first file might be 100MB in size where the other 99 are only 1KB so you spend a long time at 1% and seconds in the later stages.

Well I will be playing when ~54,600 files will be downloaded.

It doesn't matter that steam is on linux since gw2 isn't even available on steam to begin with(and probably wont be anytime soon).

While this is true all the GW1 games are available on Steam. So it will likely end up on there sooner or later. That being said, I do not think there are linux versions of the GW1 games, so even if it does appear on steam it probably won't matter as far as linux goes.

The guild missions sound awesome.

Personal reward options vary from luxury goods and new types of items, to fun guild related stuff. One example of a personal reward you can buy I think is especially fun is a transform that turns you into your guild?s banner. It?s perfect for taunting enemies from the walls of a keep in WvW and reminding them who just stomped their face!

Do want.

pre-ordered this, played it before launch (the head start) played the betas.. but for some reason I am just getting bored with this game and just have no want to play it.. It's a great game, hopefully I can get back into it at some point.

Did anyone notice how in the update notes they say they made chest loot drops better? But at the same time made it so we can only open the worth while ones once every 24 hours? Anet you silly ******.

Yea. it's also annoying how along side of reducing how often you can get loot, they go and add ecto's(which you get from said loot) as requirements for the new ascended accessories.

    • Exactly. They won't go 100 because current gen consoles are simply too old for any groundbreaking graphics or gaming experience otherwise. They will go with standard (console) price 70 or go with 80 if they really want to go premium. Of course they will have more expensive options too with some useless cosmetics as always.
    • Doesn’t surprise me at all. God is light & He gave us life so it sounds almost logical that we would therefore emit a certain amount of light.
    • This is what I want. Hey Gemini, how do I remove you from all my google products permanently?
    • I would never install install this build before rtm process. only 3 months to go. never install on your daily devices. just wait 3 months.
    • Motrix Next 3.9.6 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.6 changelog: New Features Clipboard management — App-owned copy actions no longer trigger the Add Task auto-detect popup. aria2 input compatibility — Multi-line aria2-style task input is supported for URLs with per-task options such as out=. BitTorrent IPv6 DHT — Added IPv6 DHT support and related configuration. File category URL patterns — File category rules can match URL patterns with validation and localized hints. Task status tags — Added clearer waiting and sharing states for task cards. Download event bridge — Added an aria2 WebSocket event bridge for faster download notifications. Improvements Improved task list transitions and preserved task state during tab switches. Kept RPC origin access enabled for local integrations. Restored AppImage stripping in release builds after beta validation. Added localized preference guidance across supported languages.
