Created this because I miss SAB and wanted to have some fun while improving my skills. Enjoy! https://imgur.com/a/WOCCXz2

Seems like you all are having texturing issues. One thing that might help is trying a different version of Proton, if you're using the Steam version or running the game through Lutris like I am. I'm running Proton Experimental through Lutris for it's Wine version and it's been working just fine. The only issue I've been having is my mouse not being able to click on the UI sometimes, but a quick alt-tab out and back in and it's working fine again. Non-issue for me right now. If you're not running on Steam or Lutris, try making sure you're using the latest version of Wine. If your distro has an older version, grab the one from Wine's repos and use that instead. Even on Debian Stable, I decided to grab the updated version of Wine because I wanted to game a bit better. If newer versions of Wine/Proton don't work for you, try using an older version. Sometimes older versions land on that sweet spot for your system while newer versions would break things and cause issues, like that.

Not sure what you're experiencing, but mine has felt the exact same. No difference whatsoever. King Toad kill and Storm Wizard kill was easy on Normal, same as usual. Character run speeds differ in there a lot sometimes and it's something you get used to or simply try again if you miss a jump. Or try dodge jumping to help mitigate the issue.

It's only a concern on Debian systems if you're on Sid. If you're on the stable release, you're fine. xz should be on 5.4.1, so no need to worry. If you are on Sid, however, be sure to update your systems due to a critical vulnerability, that being a backdoor.

This exactly. Some people here are doomposting because it suits them. The servers aren't shutting down. The game isn't simply going away. On top of that, NONE of this was ArenaNet. This was NCSoft, their bosses. Hell, a friend of mine hazarded a guess that ArenaNet probably had no knowledge about any of this until we did. Pretty sure they were just as surprised as we were. NCSoft has pulled some bull in the past and this is no different. You all that are overreacting need to chill.

Please no...

Thanks. Didn't help me out, but a simple restart of my PC did. GW2 stopped wanting to get past the initialize section of the launcher after I logged off earlier, so not sure what happened. Restarted my PC and it's working again. Have a good one!

So, applied the new update, but can't seem to access the gem store or the trading post, but gold conversion tab seems to be working just fine? Anyone else experiencing this? Was working fine before the update. Lutris: wine-ge-8-26_x86_64 Debian 12 KDE 5.27.5

Bump! Still looking for new members! Anyone with a good attitude is always welcomed!

I'll let the video speak for itself. Join us today! (due to a request, our timezone is NA!)

Okay, I like some of the ideas in this thread to improve the scepter, but the one thing I want is...can we PLEASE turn down the visual effects on it? Like, WOW! It's so hard to see what something or someone is doing when they have Scepter 2 on them or the visual garbage of the auto attack. Plus, the huge tether. Please, please, PLEASE turn it down a tad!

OP, if you want the true solo experience on champs, go to the fractal lobby by yourself. Summon the combat golem at any fractal level, which its difficulty scales based on which fractal you select, and fight that if you want to test out your mechanics. Best solution for you, it seems. And yes, it will fight back.

You know, OP, I used to think like you. If I was soloing a boss and someone jumped in, they were the bad guy, but in reality, it was me. Sometimes I would even say something awful and upon reflection, I was a major bag for doing so. This game was designed to be cooperative. That's why there is no such thing as kill stealing here because it was designed to give people a reward for their contributions. Simply telling people not to help is not a healthy way to game. Trust me on this.

It's happening to me a lot on SotO and IBS maps. Not sure what's going on, but yeah, it's getting to be very annoying. When people see that, their first instinct is to move instances, but that can be detrimental to a meta in progress. They think it might fail because there aren't enough people. The other day, I hopped into Bjora Marches to comm the Snowstorm meta and as soon as I threw up my tag, "There are few players...". I had JUST gotten there and there was another tag there from Drakkar. Not sure what they changed in the background, but it's not working as well as it should.

I don't know what else I can add that others already have. It feels clunky, they way to get the barrier build up is just slow and awkward and then the payoff being probably too late to do any good and this is just for PvE. Forget competitive! I was really excited for Scepter and it did not do what I was hoping it would. The power on it and just awful. I tried pairing it with offhand Sword and Greatsword on a Vindicator and it won't beat Sw/Sw at all. Tried on quick Herald in case maybe it just needed some quickness. It didn't help it in the slightest. Wettest noodle on Revenant. I hope this all this feedback gets considered since it's VERY lackluster. Don't get me wrong. The barrier it applies is good, but how it's applied is not good. If you want barrier, go with Specter or Scourge. Was kinda hoping this would bring Heal Vindi or even Heal Herald into WvW and it doesn't seem to be the case. At least Shield was a win...
