Feel the same. Even I, a veteran of of all the years, have experienced such bad behaviour. It became worse when raids were introduced as I noticed but the toxicity sure as hell existed even before fractals were a thing where people usually got kicked from dungeons when playing a ranger, a necromancer or when having less than 10k AP. However you could evade that much better than the mess of these days.

I love it too and engineer isn't really the profession I like. This will definitely give me more reason to play my engineer characters more. However I fear that due to the introduction of the very powerful mech (a more powerful version of turrets) is leading to even more AFK farming that makes certain heart tasks on the map more annoying than they already are due to all the enemies being bombarded all the time...

No, I meant the actual legendary gear as I've seen a few lfg advertisements where it clearly said no legendary weapons, no berserker gear, no trinkets! I'm not stupid! I play for 2012 and I know about legendary bosses and the difference between gear!!!

I know it might be offtopic but I heard that in one of the recent patches a new chest was added to farm the achievement. Anyone could perhaps post a picture showing where it is exactly? I've seen a video of it and I jumped past the first chest multiple times as it seems and got no credit due to no interact button. Sadly Dulfy site is down and not updated for a long time and I won't give any views or money to that annoying Ayin Maiden girl who just jumped onto a train to earn EZ money with what people like Dulfy have been doing for years. I checked the wiki as well for the first chest but I couldn't activate it in the 100 tries I did that tower by now this year. However as mentioned before the aptch notes mention a new chest so does anyone know which one that is? Note: I have DX11 beta enabled because I get 200 to 300 fps instead of 40 to 60 fps with it but it fcks up kitten like spawning the clocktower debris to jump on properly.

Well since legendary armory is now a thing I think it's even harder to coordinate such a thing in lfg squads taht say no legendaries and no mounts. I like the comfort of all the hard earned full legendary equipment and I just make use of it. At first I was careful and played by other's rules but after I saw a lot of people using mounts plus the showoff legendary kitten I just thought it was unfair and so I joined those as well. Also why would you forbid skill beyond a casual? It discriminating to people who actually put effort in the game and have all this cool end game stuff. If you forbif legendary equipment then forbid rangers (they're annoying and useless in all modes except as a heal druid and even as a heal druid they're only useful for spirits because other classes can ouheal them by miles in meta comps) , minion mancers and other annoying low player skill classes/builds. I completely understand the frustration because what I talked about makes farming the event much harder than it used to be years ago way before elite specs and when bosses like Lich actually were harder and you had to use your brain for a strategy. kitten... I miss 2012 and 2013 GW2...

Even if I could do the clocktower achievement (which is very hard with my disability and dysfunction giving me painful cramps when doing stuff that needs a more fine motor skills and generally using mouse and keyboard for longer periods of time) I wouldn't be able to finish it anyways because I got one of these trash loot items from the speaking with certain NPCs achievement and didn't know yet what to do with it and thought it was jsut regular trash you can sell, I sold it and now it completely stalls because the courtiers will only notice the gargoyle claw I found in the race area. I talked to the NPC in the area and found out taht I'm now pretty much screwed since I already sold the other one without talking to any of them. Just as an info and warning for anyone not knowing that these items are required before you sell them.

Only thing I'm asking myself is: Do you explode when you die like the other choyas then? Could be interesting in PvP and WvW

Or amybe all these "I'm Rich, You Know" title showoffs with full legendary equipment plus a ton of expensive infusions causing a complete visual mess on their character could pitch in too 😉 I was just comparing that 200g for the commander tag is nothing these days when looking back during the days when the only way of making money was silverwastes farm. Now you get a ton of maps, metas and other events that literally give a ton of stuff you acn sell for good prices. Well, at least certain materials were actually rare and worth something back then (*ahem* ascended crafting meterials *ahem*). Nowadays everything is just too easy. EU here but usually 99% of these listings are full maps anyways (why advertising when the amp is full? This is scam) and I usually don't engage in LFG groups due to my anxiety and paranoia. I'd have to be drunk to join one. However I find myself browsing the tool quite often out of boredom and it's annoying to see people not knowing how to use LFG properly. I mean, the devs could have just not worked further on that tool and instead given us a raid wing that is actually challenging. I mean not knowing what CC is is one thing but not knowing basics like how to use the lfg AND not knowing CC is the other... I was just curious why peopel who have more than enough AP and running in full legendary gear sometimes not know what lfg categories are. I find that quite amusing actually.

Hey, I'm still looking for one. Please message me if you have an offer

Thanks, looks like I'll revert back to DX9 because DX11 has many issues like the errors in the recent living story return event and so much more. I hope they work on some fixes before it is out of beta. I'll lose 100+ fps but at least the game has no issues like in the DX11 beta, oof

Noticed this just now. Seems like Jahai fortress got a new paint job lol: https://i.imgur.com/b5lGh3a.jpg Also it seems like Kralkatorrik absorbed some bloodstone magic during the return to (insert living story episode here) event: https://i.imgur.com/2QqhcQw.jpg Wonder if someone had these as well. Restarting tha game however fixes it.

That would be a great idea! Although there are already craftable 32 slot bags and they aren't hard to obtain anyways. It only gets a little more costy if you ahve 35+ characters though.

There's people who still don't have a skyscale yet?! I thought unless you're a fresh new player all of us longtime palyers must have one. Got mine in the first week when it was released and the timegates were much worse. Now you onyl need like half of that time so it's not hard to achieve. Even for newer players. Oh and if it's about the gold, well... The agme literally throws money at you these days without effort so gold actually is kinda worthless now. I remember when it was much harder to farm. So the cost for the mount isn't problem either. Just get yourself together and actively work on the mount for at least 12h a day and you'll have it in no time. Then you can cheese stuff around like everyone else.

Try using the raid meta builds and vaible classes and work on rotation and stuff so you can do raids. That's where the real content and cahllenge begins (even though raids are easy even with CMs). Oh and please please NEVER use bearbow ranger. People hate this kind of build ever since the game was released.

Can confirm https://i.imgur.com/kUhylTO.jpg https://i.imgur.com/yDMt22n.jpg https://i.imgur.com/tpzwUEa.jpg Looks really bad. Also right after the movie the whole UI glitched out completely (note, the black skill bar is edited by me so nobody comes around and judges as this was the solo setup and not the meta setup) https://i.imgur.com/eoy4gzR.jpg Right after leaving the instance it got even worse including flickering and other errors. Couldn't take screenshot from that unfortunately as it didn't work properly due to the massive glitching.

Raids are what divides the good players from the bad players. Although 95% of raid bosses (even in CM) are far too easy. I remember games that had harder raids. GW2 raids are nothing compared to that.

Depends. Overall PvE is more than casual friendly. For raids and Fractals and WvW (if you're on the wrong server you're basically kittened due to immense blobbing sometimes) however you better not attempt it if you're a casual as raids require 250 to 1k LI average with top tier snowcrows performance (yes, I know about training guilds but they're just as unhelpful for people wanting to get into raids or people wanting to return to it after a long break and a collapsed guild that used to do clear raid wings weekly but died due to nobody being online anymore The latter is actually speaking from own experience as a veteran and experienced raider). I'm a veteran playing since 2012 by the way so I must know it best. Let's not talk about PvP by the way because we all know what PvP has become... (sad actually because I enjoyed the earlier leagues, even got to silver and gold pretty often despite hating PvP content in games, and almost completed the legendary backpiece, only one gift left that is achievement related, but stopped due to too many bots and people being afk at spawns) If you stay out of group contents as a casual you're fine. If you however step into that territory be prepared for being insulted to the bone, insta kicked if you're not the right class or don't do snowcrows DPS or if you don't have 35k AP. Also be prepared for insta kick or member ragequits after one wipe.

The elite spec beta is over actually and I thought they'd corespond with one another and thus ending the DX11 beta at the same time. I'd really love to use GW2Hook again, which caused complications with DX11 enabled unfortunately, and I'm wondering when the beta will be over. I mean it's a beta, betas are only there for a limited time or else it's early access. Couldn't find anything about it on the official posts by the way. So when is it over and probably worked on further?

I think it could be interesting if they picked up on the concept of Utopia (the canceled GW1 expansion) again and make it for GW2 then. The whole concept I've read in the artbook is really interesting and it would be a sham if it went forgotten and burried.

I noticed that sometimes it becomes quiet but then it goes back to normal after a short time. I usually had this in caves or when opening some menus.

I remember this being an issue when the episode launched. Can confirm it's still not fixed. Same with the last cutscene during the one Icebrood Saga instance (forgot the name but it was after Forging Steel) where we could play as Bangar.

Got a performance gain of 50 to 60 to even 70fps on max settings (I even could enable reflections and model quality to highest which was usually the ones advised to turn down for obvious reasons) and thus I have between 60 (in very dense crowded meta events) to 144 fps of which 270 was the highest (230 is the moderate highest) in a certain spot that gave me 170 fps before. However the game looks very bright (gamma has no effect) and the colors are too vibrant as well as textures being still the same washed out style and I miss the DoF effect I had before which comes from an addon. I usually used Hook for the visual tweaking but it doesn't run well with the DX11 beta since it forces the game into windowed fullscreen and causes an incompability as Hook is advised to run in fullscreen. However that may be worked out by the author of the addon. Also the DX11 is still in beta and there's some base issues with it that will in the end be resolved like the forced windowed mode or the graphical glitches that many report. But overall I'd say the implementation of DX11 gives the game a better experience on newer machines. I also noticed that the CPU usage has become better than before. It only needs some more work to be implemented fully but so far it's a step in the right direction.

Is there any solution to have DX11 and GW2Hook running together perhaps? It gave me graphical issues after enabling the DX11 beta so I disabled it for the duration of the beta. I'd like to use them both in the future because hook removes the nasty fog that usually gave me performance issues and also enhances visuals by a ton but dx11 makes everything run far better (50-60 or 70 fps gain in total which means 144 to 230 fps in total now).

It's because the game is being forced into windowed fullscreen even when the settings say fullscreen. Having the same issue here

I know quite unrelated but does anyone know a way to use both DX11 and GW2Hook together? As I said before it doesn't seem to work that well. I only saw something related to ReShade on here so far.
