It would be healthy and amazing for the game to have rune rebalance. Posted: 24 Feb 2018 03:50 PM PST As we are right now the amount of usable runes for most content, specially PvE, is extremely limited and the BiS combos have little to no variation for most builds: think a big majority of DPS builds don't use anything other than Scholar's, Nightmare/trapper and Renegade runes. I would love to see rebalance on runes that see little to no play or the introduction of new ones that actually compete with stablished choices -the way renegade did with berserker's for example- more often. I think it's also a smart way to give specific classes a boost without actually tampering with the class itself IE a rune of the reaper that grants a sizable DPS boost on chilled targets or a thief rune that further rewards power damage when flanking instead of giving condition damage. What do you guys think? submitted by /u/GW2BalanceMeme [link] [comments]

PSA: you can now go back to the same map you were in in Dragons Stand after killing mordymouth. Posted: 24 Feb 2018 08:52 AM PST Back then it will tell you that the instance you were in is now closed off when you get disconnected or booted off IP. after some careful experimentation with our guild meta trains i have confirmed that as long as you have participated in it and map isnt full, you can be booted off / character select and you can go back. more testing will be done like: joining squad and joining the map without participating in it at all getting booted and try to rejoin while map is full sadly if i can confirm number 1 this will mean a drop of participating people and more late map pod farmers. but as long as everyone is happy and get their loot thats fine with me. submitted by /u/Ekserowan [link] [comments]

How's your Dhuum training experience? Posted: 24 Feb 2018 02:11 PM PST I've been getting in training groups few times per week and still haven't got a group who actually can get first kill. Hours and hours of trying. Infinite amount of trying again and again. Best training group so far has reached 30% of boss HP left. After that, none of training groups seem to pass 50%, even when they claim they have reached under 10%. I wonder how Dhuum training differs from other boss trainings. Other boss trainings seem to be much more relaxed, almost casual-like, no-one leaves until few hours are passed, meanwhile at Dhuum training people seem to be quite nervous, leaving all the time, commander suddenly leaving and/or kicking people. How is your Dhuum training experience so far? Is it similar? Or have I been unlucky? submitted by /u/underperformer666 [link] [comments]

[Tech Question] Right Mouse stops working for camera control randomly? Posted: 24 Feb 2018 03:21 PM PST Hello! I have been dealing with a minor annoyance with my camera control. I have used the Right mouse button to control my camera for the longest time. Pressing it causes me to circle the camera around my character and the mouse cursor vanishes when pressing it. All Normal and what I want. But, occasionally it stops reacting this way. Once in a while the mouse will stay on the screen and I don't have nearly enough control over the camera as I normally do and the controls in general feel wonky. No idea what is causing it. It happens once in a while when I try gliding on my characters, and soemtimes when alt-tabing. But it is never consistant. Sometimes it breaks the camera control, other times it still functions normally. I tried looking in the settings but the settings don't look to have the feature I was looking for. Shutting the game down completely fixes the camera control, but then it breaks again a few hours/minutes into playing. TL;DR: Occasionally Right Mouse Camera control doesn't function in the normal way. Turning GW2 off and on fixes it briefly. Unsure of cause or how to stop the issues from happening. submitted by /u/Satioelf [link] [comments]

How to play as Chronotank at Deimos using the Edge/Ranged Strategy. A video guide Posted: 24 Feb 2018 05:05 PM PST submitted by /u/gw2lunchbox [link] [comments]

What features would you like from other games in GW2? Posted: 24 Feb 2018 05:20 AM PST Many games borrow from each other mechanics and elements that add to the experience. What features would you like to see brought to GW2 that are currently not in the game? submitted by /u/Raxzor [link] [comments]

Thief weapon for Open world PVE? Posted: 24 Feb 2018 03:52 PM PST hey guys, what is the best or more fun weapon combination to use in a thief in open world, if is possible leave your build like that i can try it out, thanks alot! submitted by /u/Fruitlegend [link] [comments]

Sw/d Condi Weaver (34k) Posted: 24 Feb 2018 07:33 PM PST Glyph of Elemental Power variant Glyph of Storm variant Condi weaver have receive quite some buff from recent patch and GoS become a viable choice over GoEP. Although both video end up having 34k, GoS should actually do more since I'm less familiar with the rotation and messed up quite a lot there. Which is better will depends on fight, since GoEP stacks can hit on unwanted targets like arcane power and GoS need target to stay in it for 10s. submitted by /u/dyan2687 [link] [comments]

Season 2 Replay Musings Posted: 24 Feb 2018 04:37 PM PST Spoilers for Season 2 & HoT Duh. So I have been doing a replay of all GW2 and just finished LS2. I now have a full understanding of the relationship and interactions between Caithe and Faolin, regardless of bad writing or storytelling. Faolin is Angelica. I teach Religious Education; ("Sunday school" but more like crash and prep courses in philosophy, ethics, metaphysics, and western civiliations.) I've been bounced around different grades from 2nd to 7th. In trying to teach morals to children at different ages you really see the different steps of child development and psychology e.g. Piaget. From 5th to up to 8th grade you really can see the switch in a students brain from a "kid" full of energy, always at play, bouncing off the walls and saying exactly what is in their brain at that time, to a child with some bit of self control. 6th and 7th are full of the most quiet "blah" students. Their childhood is off, but puberty hasn't hit yet. As described in Lord of the Flies; the best time to be a child since all the baby fat has melted but you aren't a teenager yet. The way Faolin and Caithe act is -exactly- like two 2nd grade girls. "You are my friend. This person is -not- my friend. You are my best friend. You have a secret, tell me it now or I'll tell Mother!" Or Angelica from Rugrats. She lies. She's bossy. She sticks around the babies she doesn't even like. When things go wrong it's someone else fault. However in her 2nd grade very "letter of the law" rule based mind, she is doing everything right. Faolin's extreme actions perfectly match this state of child morality and learning. As well as the rest of the First Borns really over thinking their actions and very literal and extreme feelings about doing the correct thing. -//- Also I'd really like to know of the "journey" Caithe and Faolin had before rescuing the Sylvari from Vorpp that supposedly makes them the best at trying to find Wynne. -//- Also I've come with the best analogy for Sylvari to non GW2 players. All Sylvari are Arthur Weasley (the dad). He's 100% adult, fully independent and capable for himself. Has nearly Zero understanding of Muggle Life. submitted by /u/ViddlyDiddly [link] [comments]

Very excited for the upcoming druid nerf in PvP. Anyone has the same feeling? Posted: 24 Feb 2018 02:59 AM PST A bunker druid who knows what he is doing can 1 man fuck up an interesting match. submitted by /u/bennypig [link] [comments]

Bags & Unidentified Gear, with regards to MF and Character Level Posted: 24 Feb 2018 11:33 AM PST I have a few thousand bags I'd like to open, but I'd like to optimize my returns. Specifically, I have 9 stacks of raid bags (Utility Backpacks and Bags of Gear), a few stacks of Palawadan bags, some mixed HoT meta bags, and a bunch of Unidentified Gear of all 3 rarities. do all bags determine their loot based on the character level of the opener? does unidentified gear also get scaled to the level of the opener? does magic find effect opening bags? does magic find effect unidentified gear? can i still get exotics/precursors from unidentified gear that is opened on a level 53 character? I'm currently researching this on my own as well, but I'm finding some unreliable and contradictory sources so I'd appreciate some insight from our community here as well. Thanks guys! submitted by /u/derek614 [link] [comments]

[Question] What Masteries are mandatory for completing the HoT storyline? Posted: 24 Feb 2018 05:38 AM PST I'm currently replaying the story with a newbie friend and I can't remember the exact Masteries that are required. She has unlocked Jumping Mushrooms and gliding. We are currently working on updraft gliding. I remember that other masteries were mandatory upon release, but some of those requirements were removed by Anet. What does the current situation look like? submitted by /u/TheIllogicalSandwich [link] [comments]

[Request] Let us use Mounts in Mistlock Sanctuary Passkey Posted: 24 Feb 2018 07:38 PM PST Let us use Mounts in Mistlock Sanctuary Passkey.

HELP Dropped FPS Posted: 24 Feb 2018 01:07 PM PST Overnight FPS dropped for no reason whatsoever. Tried to check if CPU/GPU were throttling, they weren't. Tried installing fresh copy of windows 10, all latest drivers, did not work. from stable 60+ fps it went to 30 and less. Using hp OMEN 17" 4k display (Running 2k) laptop. gtx 1070 i7 7700hq 2.8GHz 16GB RAM. Games where the drop was noticed, Guild wars 2 (stable 60 to 20ish), PUBG from stable 60 to 30ish, CSGO from over 160 to 70 and spikes. No clue what else is left to do... as far as I remember if I was running intense games, id hear the laptop fan go up, and it would heat up, now stopped doing it whatsoever. submitted by /u/Aextre [link] [comments]
