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.

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.

    • Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.

    • Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug by Taras Buria Forza Horizon 6 was launched last month to critical acclaim (check out our review here), and it became a smash hit in an instant. Now, weeks into the launch, with die-hard fans clocking hundreds of hours, Forza Horizon 6 is facing a serious issue: save wipes. After multiple complaints on Reddit and social media, the studio issued a statement. The problem with missing saves came shortly after Playground Games promised the initial batch of gameplay tweaks and improvements. Unfortunately, there seems to be no temporary fixes for those affected by unexpected save wipes. However, the studio published a new support document with a few important steps users should try. First, affected gamers should open a support ticket immediately (go here to file one) so that the support team can try recovering the lost progress by reverting to an earlier save. Playground Games says this should be done the same day the issue occurs. Meanwhile, gamers are urged not to start new play sessions or create new saves. The studio also published a few things gamers should try to avoid to prevent potential progress loss: Ensure your Gaming Services app on PC or XBOX Series X|S console is fully up to date. On XBOX Series X|S consoles, disable Quick Resume for Forza Horizon 6: To disable Forza Horizon 6 from using Quick Resume, highlight the game box art anywhere in the console experience (Home, My Games & Apps, Pins, etc) and then press the Menu button, then go to Manage game and add-ons > Quick Resume settings > Disable Quick Resume. Ensure you are online when ‘quitting’ the game. Give your saved time to sync to the cloud before powering off or switching devices. Do not force quit the game during save screens. Do not power off the device during gameplay. Always "Quit" (console) or "Exit to desktop" (PC) once you've finished your play session, ensuring the save icon is not visible when you’re closing the game. Before turning off your console, shutting down your PC, or force-closing the Steam app, give your devices or clients at least a few minutes to ensure your latest progress has been synchronized with the cloud. This will reduce the risk of progress reversions as you switch between different platforms. XBOX Series X|S consoles, Steam, and the XBOX app on PC all include game save indicators that confirm your progress has been synced. You can read more about the bug in the official support document here. Forza Horizon 6 is currently available on PC (Steam and the Microsoft Store), Xbox Series X|S, and Game Pass. The game is also coming to PlayStation 5 later this year.
