Introducing GW2Bot - a Discord bot.

Posted: 06 May 2017 08:52 AM PDT

TL;DR invite the bot using this link: https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=310050883100737536&scope=bot&permissions=27648

On a side note, treat it as more of a beta run. There may or will be issues, bugs, unexpected behaviors and so on. Please report them, and they'll be fixed asap. I don't have any testers ><

Boring background stuff

You may or may not have seen that around a month or so ago I made this post. Over time, and with a help of a few contributors, the module has grown. After finally switching the backend, I decided I could host the bot publicly.

If you've seen the feature list last time, I suggest you go through it again, as quite a bit has changed.

Current feature list!

Questions, questions...

How do I use the bot?

After the bot has been added to the server using this link, you can access the commands using $ prefix. Type $help for list of all commands. Server admins can change the prefix to something else using $prefix

How do I setup game update notifications?

First, you must have the "manage server" permission. Provided you have that, first point the bot to the channel where it'll post announcements, using $updatenotifier channel #<channel>. After that, enable it using $updatenotifier toggle on. Make sure the bot has permissions to talk in that channel.

Does the bot work in DMs?

Yes. API keys are cross-server too, if you're in multiple servers with the bot.

Moving on...

The bot is under active development. Current commands will be expanded and new ones added. I'm open to all suggestions - just shoot me a message.

If you want to help with development, you can see the GitHub page.

Closing words

I want to thank everyone who has contributed so far, whether it was reporting an issue, making a suggestion or helping on github. You're great.

And of course Twentysix, without Red the development of this bot would be much slower.

[qT] Tempest T4 Bloomhunger Solo - 13:35

Posted: 06 May 2017 12:52 PM PDT

Hey guys,

this will be my first video of a weekly "series" where I will solo all T4 fractals, preferably in record time. If possible Ill do it with Tempest but I'm sure some are impossible and I'll have to swap to another class.

I was running a Solo build with Full Berserker Armor, Weapons and Trinkets. Strength Runes on the Armor and Night/Strength Sigil on the Weapons. For Infusions I used 16 Power and 2 Precise Infusions which brought me to excactly 100% critchance together with the Offensive Potion. Traits were Fire 1-1-1 Air 1-2-2 and Tempest 3-3-1 so I could have permanent Fury from Zephyr's Boon and Unstable Conduit.

I'm always up to the challenge if someone wants to beat my times.

Also if you have any suggestion for the next fractal or ideas what I could include in the next videos to make them more informational just tell me ingame: Fennec.2961.

There are plenty of other bugs on this boss where I couldn't find a video for. If you have more, just post it under this post and I will add it into the post.

Taimi's voice actress is so great

Posted: 05 May 2017 10:45 PM PDT

The way she delivers her character is consistently flawless. I basically play the story updates just to listen to Taimi. Seriously, kudos to her.

Discussion: should renown hearts continue appearing in future maps?

Posted: 06 May 2017 01:58 PM PDT

So I've never been a fan of "Renown Hearts" in this game in general. Yes, they may seem fun for the first time you do it (aggressive rabbits that try to steal your food) and you could say they serve as a "tutorial" for new players with some of the game mechanics.
 
However, as of LS3 Episode 2, Anet introducing hearts into the new maps and it got me thinking, is it really necessary for them to be in future maps? The only incentive for us to do them more than once is for the "x currency for karma purchase" and most of the time you decide on spot if you want that fancy new mini or a character altering gizmo.
 
My own opinion on this matter is that I DO NOT like hearts and it's really "disheartening" for me to see them again. I like Orr, Southsun, LS2 and HoT maps because they have more events in places where there could be a heart. For me, it seems that the hearts do steal away potential places for Dynamic events that could unlock a vendor at the end if you REALLY, REALLY want a time-gate for a thing as Spoiler for the backpiece collection.
 
So I'd like to know if you want the hearts to stay or maybe you have some solutions to make the hearts more interesting than they are at the moment!

Realisation about the new map in relation to gw1 [Spoilers]

Posted: 06 May 2017 09:25 AM PDT

I suddenlt realised, with conformation from That_Shaman's historical map, that Leah's Island was just the tip of Draconis Mons before it rose up from the sea.

Could this mean that Leah's Island became green because some of the druidic magic spilled out into the area, rather than natural means?

Story Panel giving Insight as to what happended at the end of Flashpoint [SPOILERS]

Posted: 06 May 2017 04:16 PM PDT

So I was reading the little descriptions of each story step for flashpoint, as sometimes they add little juicy bits of lore to it, and I came across this.

This helps to explain why all of a sudden Primordus and Jormag suddenly sustained massive damage, enough to make them go back to pre-awakening stages of activity. This also confirms that each of these dragons energy can severely injure the other dragon, meaning that Taimi's machine would have in theory worked.

I think its cool that they have these texts to help understand what happened in these story steps, but it would be better if we got this explanation in the moment rather days later when a few people actually remember to read this.

Anyways, just my two cents on what happened, have a good day all! :D

PoVs:

Nico / Mesmer

Derpy / Druid

Muto / Warrior

Roul / Ele

Breke / Ele

In case anyone is interested in DPS, the warrior and the druid are using meters and everyone has the logs linked in their description.

Fertile Soil patches in Draconis Mons

Posted: 06 May 2017 05:33 AM PDT

For the third backpack collection, Sprouting the Druid Stone, you need to interact with a patch of Fertile Soil in Draconis Mons. This patch is close to Kodama.

However, there are more Fertile Soil patches spread out over the map, and with a fourth backpack collection on the way it seems logical to me that we'll need to interact with the remaining patches during that one.

I made an album of the patches I've found so far in Draconis Mons:

Has anyone found any others? (Updated wiki page as well)

Fertile Soil outside Draconis Mons:

It is likely that the Fertile Soil at the Temple of Melandru is connected to the collection, looking at the flavour text of the collection achievement:

Your dedication to nature is proving fruitful, but there is still much to do. Continue to show respect for Melandru's druids and help bring their magic out into the world again.

Does ANet have a new Composer? [Possible Spoilers]

Posted: 06 May 2017 12:49 PM PDT

On the Soundcloud is written that the new theme from Flashpoint is "Composed by Brendon Williams and Maclaine Diemer."

Is mr Brendon Williams the new composer?

Thank you ANet, for making this great MMO

Posted: 06 May 2017 06:33 AM PDT

I stopped playing MMOs for 3 years because of how most of the F2P models were more P2W. After hearing all the good stuff about GW2 and that it became free, I started installing it. I couldn't buy the game first because I simply couldn't spend moeny to play games, and wow! I've never experienced enjoying an MMO and not worrying if someone 'steals' my loot or all that concern I once had in MMOs. The professions are fun and unique, the community is friendly, everything is stress free. I'm now addicted to playing it daily and now my Ele is level 60+ and I'm planning to buy the game anytime soon when I get the chance. Again, thank you ANet for making this great MMO. I love it.

Zhaitan's weakness

Posted: 06 May 2017 04:43 PM PDT

I think it can be argued that Zhaitan's "weakness" was actually that his invulnerability was tied to proximity of his corruption. Once Traeherne began the process of cleansing Orr, he became vulnerable.

That would also explain why he relies so much on his minions to spread corruption. They were expendable, so they could spread his range of invulnerability without putting himself at risk.

Light legendary armor texture issue

Posted: 06 May 2017 08:29 AM PDT

Why is the texture so bad on certain places of the armor, like pants and skirt, but so sharp on others like on the boots?

http://i.imgur.com/5AyNesN.jpg

Is there a setting I'm supposed to use to make these sharp? All my in game settings are set on the highest possible quality and also in the Nvidia control panel I have max on texture quality.

I hope its not that the legendary armor actually has bad resolution textures T_T

New Player, completely lost!

Posted: 06 May 2017 04:11 PM PDT

Hey, how are you all? :)

With a huge summer break coming up, I'm planning on destroying my social life to play a huge game (haven't played many games in a long time). I've been thinking an MMO would be good, because as much as I'd love to play The Witcher 3, I just feel like it'd be more fun to be apart of a community.

I've been going through lists to see which MMO might be best for me, and this one looked quite fun! The ones that stuck out for me the most are World of Warcraft, WildStar, RuneScape, Elder Scrolls Online and this!

Obviously I'm going to be having a very biased opinion seeing as this is the Guild Wars 2 subreddit, but how would you all rate this game compared to the other MMO's I mentioned?

Personally I'd love to join one that has a very active community, so I think WildStar is going a bit downhill. So how's the population on Guild Wars 2?

Any tips or anything would be great! Is the questing fun solo? Is there PvP? Are there any mini games? I'd love to know anything you've got to convince me to play the game! :)

Edit: I'm sorry for writing an essay. 😂

Another edit: Just thought I'd ask a few more questions, so here goes!

WildStar's developers I've heard are a bit rubbish, and with almost no connection to their community. How's it in GW2? I've heard there's a new expansion soon, so I'm guessing they're quite active and good? :)

Also, I've never played GW1, so how confusing will the story be for me? I'm a bit story guy, so I'm hoping to become proper immersed and enjoy it (hopefully)! :)

[Suggestion] Check for Gem Store items before deleting a character

Posted: 06 May 2017 10:27 AM PDT

Example and TL;DR

2 days ago I created a Charr to play through the PS. When I was done, I deleted him to start another and realized I forgot to take my unlimited gathering tools back too late.

I immediately sent support a ticket and was contacted a day later by GM Shadowform who immediately reassured me that he would restore said character. I would like to mention that GM Shadowform was very professional, friendly, and quickly resolved my problem.

The reason I am posting this is because I believe it could potentially help avoid (perhaps reduce would be more realistic) this kind of tickets to support, which would free GMs to deal with other issues, and could thus potentially reduce the time other players wait before getting in contact with them. Also in case this happens to anyone else a tip I could give you is to create another character with the same name while waiting to be contacted by support. If the name is taken when they restore your character, it adds an additional step of renaming which could be easily avoided.

Minis permanently hidden bug is back

Posted: 06 May 2017 07:19 PM PDT

A few months ago they fixed the bug where minis were hidden and never automatically checked again. However, the bug is back, I believe since the release of Flashpoint. I'm guessing it's linked to the use of the Oakheart's Essence skill, but I can't confirm. Anybody know more about this?
