50 points in Hall of Monuments in Guild Wars 1, and in Guild wars 2, 50k achievement points.

It really has been a journey.

New teaser for the next update :D

with my last couple ectos and having sworn to stop several times, with the very last stack of boxes, I finally got this........... magnificent monocle.

..see you next year!

It must be some barbarian fashion set build with this weapon in mind!

What is that dragon flying in the Dragonfall location between the two airships? It looks like Zhaitan, with a green glow. Or is it just part of the scenery?

Hi guys,

I have only one legendary item: Eikasia. And I am going for Regalia for my second one.

After some research I found that unlocking Vision and Aurora collections first is ideal because they overlap with Regalia. So I unlocked both of them. Thanks to the steps of getting a skyscale and unlocking aurora I have found that I enjoy completing collections.

So my question is do you have any tips that will make my journey easier? I am using guildjen guides and Lady Elyssa's pathing tool.

Edit: Thank you for your answers. I hope these answers also will help other people like me.

With the anniversary, and all the free black lion keys that people are getting currently, this set of weapon skins are an absolute bargain right now.

212g buy now for 17 skins is good enough, but completing the collection gets you seven black lion tickets which you can use for the new primeval skins or whatever else you fancy.

I might be wrong, but I think this is probably the cheapest collection that I've ever seen.

Oh yes, and you get three achievement points as a bonus.

after hundreds (no, thousands?) of transmutation charges, show me your characters and share with us their story (your headcannon ofc)!

actually i couldn't understand. should i start from beginning or should i continue from 5th quest?

Hi everyone,

I'm having a weird issue with skill inputs.

When I'm on the training golem, my skills feel instant and responsive. But when I'm actually in a raid, I sometimes press a skill and nothing happens immediately. I have to press the key multiple times before the skill finally activates.

This is really messing with my rotation: sometimes I end up skipping the skill entirely, and it obviously causes a DPS loss.

My ping is consistently around 20–30 ms and my FPS is good, so I don't think it's a performance or connection issue.

Is this normal GW2 behavior? Could it be related to skill queuing, animations/aftercasts, targeting, or something else?

Is there anything I can change in the settings or do differently to make skill activation more consistent?

Thanks !

I like 2v2 but don't really know how to approach it. What are some good builds to run together or specs that complement each other atm?

Edit: I'm just referring to just the three new expansions. I know they are less content than the dragon expansions

Are we getting less content per expansion after end of dragon? Because secrets of the obscure had six story sections. Janthir wilds had five. And if the next patch is the last patch for the current expansion, that would bring it up to four. (I'm referring to the sections for the story achievements to gain a reference)

So far I've only played completely through secrets of the obscure and it felt pretty content rich. But are the other two expansions worth it?

This is a fun story song.

My background in MMOs has always been in healing/support classes. If I wanted to try healing/support in GW2, are there resources (YouTube vids, etc.) that you'd recommend to help someone new to the rather unorthodox role healing/support plays in this game? Any healing classes that are easier to pick up and be competent at? Your sage wisdom and advice are greatly appreciated.

Hi. I recently dowloaded ARCdps, everything works fine but everytime i log into the game the ARCdps window appears by default and i have to hide it manually, i only wanna use it in content like fractals or raids and having to hide it everytime i start the game is kinda annoying, is there any way to make it hidden by default? Thanks.

This is a very specific ask

There's a 3-part video series that I've watched before where it goes over all the ways of bridging the gap between my dps and snowcrows benchmark numbers. Things like golem settings, skill queueing, rotation tips, etc

I swear I saved it somewhere, but now I can't find it or the original reddit thread where I found it

Anyone happen to know what I'm talking about?

As an example, I have a really hard time to track troubadours resources mid combat, the visibility with bright pink on white/pinkish background is really hard to see. Is there any way to change how it looks? I can't seem to find anything in the options.

Hey Folks, Title kinda self explanatory...I am curious if I am just looking for an open world solo hammer build for Guardian, is core guard "better" than Willbender...I know both work, but curious what Guards opinions are on the differences.

I know WB's F1-3 skills have you zip around a bit more, but I am a bit unclear on what I am giving up for that movement vs core guard?

Also, I haven't really unlocked any of the other guard elite specs, but curious if any of them actually perform better with hammer than core and WB?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts :)

Is there an add on that shows the portals leading to the “next” area on the maps? I’ve found myself (as a fairly new player) having trouble at times finding my way through maps.

I have blishHUD downloaded.

EDIT: I did indeed find the map portals option in both the Tekkit package and Lady Elyssa’s. Thanks all for your input!

Hello. I would like to unlock the Siege Turtle. Unfortunately, there is no Raid Finder that automatically puts you into a random group.

Every time I use the LFG system and check if there is a group available, there unfortunately isn't one.

Is it even still possible to find a random group for this 6 years after the expansion was released? I also don't have a guild or friends that could help me with it.

I read that you can buy the item you need for the Siege Turtle after the Dragon's End meta for 1,000 Research Notes and 500 Imperial Favors.

I also read that since 2025, you can obtain 150 Research Notes through crafting instead of having to salvage crafted items.

Is this my best option, or are there better alternatives?
