Hey, for those unaware: The whole decoration system for guild halls was been flawed since it's release. Unfun to use, frustrating, way too expensive. We're only allowed to place ~15 objects in a chunk (roughly around the size of the big statue at minstrel's waypoint in DR), which basically makes it impossible to build cool, detailed stuff in the guild hall. I won't get into the other problems here (crafting costs way too high, controls for placing decorations are horrible, we're lacking basic stuff like doors, sinks, windows etc. and much more ..) because I don't have high hopes for devs implementing either a proper housing system - despite it being a core mechanic of the game that would make them tons of money - or updating the current one to be usable and somewhat enjoyable, but I wanted to try anyway. The reason for that object limit in a chunk is performance, as a Dev once said. They want to make sure that even those with a slow computer can access the guild hall without lagging or even crashing. That comment was made 8 years ago, I believe. And now that we got a huge performance boost with the upgrade to DirectX11, it would definitely be time to increase the decoration limit in guild halls too (maybe even the overall decoration limit). Best regards Vetkin

Hello, dear people! My name is Fabijan and I once again had the opportunity to interview ArenaNet for the german roleplay community in regards to all things lore. First and foremost I want to thank Bobby Stein and Justin Fassino for making this possible. Further thanks goes out to Indigo Linde, Matthew Medina, David Wilson, Joe Kimmes, Andrew Gray and Alex Kain for answering our questions. We really appreciate your time and we're truly thankful for this opportunity. You can find the interview here. Wish you all a wonderful weekend! - Fabi

I just wanted to report back after farming rifts as power vindicator and power herald all week: Power Herald is faster than power vindicator, when it comes to farming rifts. Perma buffs and the damage itself is just bonkers. Rev really, really shines from the weapon training patch with his greatsword. Also, I find playing that combination of herald and greatsword super fun to play. Blocking mechanics, teleports, resource management. Really nice.

Interesting - what do you think about Power Vindicator instead of herald?

I am wondering which class (with which build) is currently the fastest at farming t1 rifts soll. I heard that Reaper is hard to beat but also that double axe warrior might be faster. What about P/P deadeye with payback or other popular PvE builds? Thanks in advance!

Hotfix 1 min ago didn't even hotfix this. What the hell, seriously.

I really want to get the emote and hoped that today's patch would bring in a hotfix for the bugged collection. But no, no patch at all ... atleast so far.

A few emotes already work whilst sitting and drinking as well as reading are both things that are mostly done while seated so I thought they'd atleast go the extra mile and add that. I'm just a bit disappointed but maybe my standards were too high.

Another classic example of A-Nets "cool idea but lacking implementation" philosophy. The /sipcoffee emote, of course, doesn't work on chairs either. What a disappointment.

This is the way. And while we're at it, please finally implement housing. Furniture, decorations ... it's like Anet doesn't want money.

With the two scale and leather skins we got recently, there's no argument to be made anymore that swimwear would be too skimpy to implement into the game. In fact, lots of NPCs already have unique and unobtainable swimwear. Speedos, cool shorts, bikinis and more. Every few months, there's atleast one upvoted thread on the frontpage of the GW2 subreddit asking for swimwear and they did indeed listen when it came to the rugged cape, hood or even the stylish "high heel" shoes.

Yes, immediately after receiving the package today. Highly doubt it because when they do, they leave a sticker on the package saying that they opened it.

Hey, my package from Madrinas Coffee arrived today. Since I'm I roleplayer and coffee lover, I decided to buy the coffee for the /sipcoffee emote and a nice batch for cold brew coffee to try. You know what arrived? https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fjmhh8cic8xgb1.png A package without any game codes (not code for the consumable pack and no second code for the emote) and with a coffee tub that has already been opened. What a kittening joke. EDIT (2 hours after posting this): Support responded with two codes. The emote one worked, the other one had a weird "\" symbol in it which made the code unusable but I figured out by trial and error that it's supposed to be a "V". Anyway, the support helped quickly and, after sending them a photo of the opened seal of freshness and the packaging slip as well as the barcode of the coffee, they sent me a new tub of coffee for free (not even shipping costs) which is nice.

Agreeeeeee

Seraphs HQ is now closed aswell. I really don't understand why they hate us, it's so extremely frustrating ...
