>what is DSOAL-GW1
When GW was released in 2005, the audio component of Microsoft’s DirectX API was something called DirectSound. DirectSound had a 3D audio component called DirectSound3D, or DS3D, that could pan and amplify/attenuate sound sources based on their position relative to the camera in the game’s 3D world. PC’s with a high-end Creative sound card also had access to EAX, an extension to DS3D with a suite of hardware DSP effects for occlusion, obstruction, reverb, echo, etc. Like most games of its era, GW’s audio system was designed around DirectSound and DS3D, and owners of high-end PCs could get the “definitive” audio experience with EAX.

All that ended in 2007 with Windows Vista. Vista completely broke DS3D and EAX. Rather than fix it, Microsoft deprecated DirectSound and pushed developers to adopt its new XAudio2 API for future games. With DS3D and EAX broken, GW hasn’t sounded “right” in any version of Windows since XP.

I switched in Energy Tap, and yeah, his build is pretty cool.

I'd go with energy drain over tap. With daze up even the shittest player should be able to easily catch most spells.

>>1292663

You mean power drain? And yeah I totally agree in most situations unless he only has like 0-2 inspiration magic.

so far R/E fire storm and pet spam has been doing it for me but I'm not very far and wondering when I should transition to a real build. not even anything meta, just something a little more than half of one build and half of another

This week, I've been focused on grinding the Kurzick title. Finished Luxon awhile ago but Kurz doesn't have an AFK farm so it's taken me a lot longer.
I hit rank 1 on my ironman to get access to the PvE skills and have been doing Echovald Forest VQs on all chars on my main account.
Currently at 7.6M out of 10M.

>>1293494
I have 9 characters with access to Echovald so I'm just completing all the VQs one time per char. I'll eventually GWAMM all of them so this helps me progress both the Kurz title and GWAMM.
I also grabbed the ZVs for Echovald over the last however many weeks and saved them for this week.
Other than that, just doing Urgoz SC with my guild whenever we can coordinate some runs.

i have one character (me) with no access to pussy (broke up with my gf of 4 years a month ago and been a trvcel ever since)

>>1293780
Is GW3 confirmed, or you just shitposting?

>>1293786
NCsoft investor meeting confirmed it's in development a month or two ago. ANet has neither confirmed nor denied it explicitly but we know for a fact they've been hiring for a new game project for years now.

>>1293788
>NCsoft investor meeting confirmed it's in development
Wrong, they "confirmed" that they were "thinking" about making it
>but we know for a fact they've been hiring for a new game project for years now.
That new game project was a mobile game that was cancelled

>>1293792
The "just thinking about it" was pure damage control official statement by the company afterwards. The actual phrasing at the meeting as said by the under pressure exec was very specifically "in development".
>mobile game that was cancelled
That's an even older thing. They've continued and never stopped hiring people constantly since then for other projects. You can go on their site literally right now and see open job listings for their "unannounced project". https://www.arena.net/en/careers#Open-Positions

>>1293788
So how did the GW2 niggers take it ?
Badly i assume.

>>1293813
Wailing and gnashing of teeth, going off the reddit screencaps posted in a GW thread on here.

>>1293697
No, leaving aside the seething hatred most GW1 players have for GW2 our /gw1/ thread is typically used to coordinate us actually playing the game combining with /gw2g/ would make coordinating stuff much more difficult or could drown out or talk in general.

>>1293792
You're thinking of an even older project that got canceled back during LS4, I don't blame you for not realizing because this is the THIRD time anet has worked on an unannounced project (the last 2 got canceled and had layoffs mid development) the new game they are working on was a UE5 MMO. You can see them hiring for it right now in the other anon's link for open-positions. They've been hiring for this for the last 1-2 years, until recently everyone assumed it was the NCSoft horizon MMO, but with the GW3 leaks people have begun speculating it might actually be GW3.

>"But anet have said it's not GW3"
Anet has also boldly lied to our faces multiple times even in recent years, they would 200% lie to you about this. If they were to confirm it was GW3 it would absolutely tank GW2 and cause the game to die, there is literally no reason they would ever confirm GW3 this early in development as it would only harm them given how long out GW3 would be. That said, I doubt they'll even have anything to show in the next half decade so you don't really have to worry about GW2 being canceled anytime soon. But given the state of development with SotO maybe cancelling would be a mercy kill for that game lol.


ALSO REMINDER WE ARE PLAYING IN 2 HOURS FROM NOW. WE'LL BE DOING HM UW

>>1293829
>our /gw1/ thread is typically used to coordinate us actually playing the game combining with /gw2g/ would make coordinating stuff much more difficult or could drown out or talk in general.
That's fair. Well, it was worth asking at least.

>>1293706
We don't use that word here

>>1293829
The thing about Arenanet's lies though, it's that they lie about how much work they're doing, so classic overpromising and underdelivering
Saying they're actually not developing a whole new game is the opposite of that, it's basically assuring everyone that their annual 80 million USD revenue really only goes into shitty expansions with almost no content, as if that's good news for anyone
>If they were to confirm it was GW3 it would absolutely tank GW2 and cause the game to die
Nah they'd just have to release more than 2 coom skins per year, coomers don't wait for new games they want their booba now
>That said, I doubt they'll even have anything to show in the next half decade
True, they basically have no talent left it seems, I guess right now they could have the opportunity to nab talent from all the layoffs in the industry but I doubt the leadership is competent enough for that, I mean their website has 3 job openings which is pathetic for something as big as an entire new AAA MMO in active development

>>1293846
I wish you the best luck fren. I still follow GW2 talk and news because I use to run a guild there and played it a shit ton years ago, looking at the current state of the game just makes me really fucking sad. GW2 was always a flawed game, but you could still have a good deal of fun with it. But now I realize all the people who made that game great have long since left the company and the game is a shambling corpse being puppeteered by dev's, writers, and management who don't have an ounce of the skill, nor half the vision the original creators had.

>>1293850
Nah it's not that they aren't developing a whole new game, they just claim it isn't GW3 (which maybe isn't or is a lie, but we're bound to find out eventually), a lot of it is yeah how much work is actually being done but its other small shit too. Like the time they removed mystic coin drops from CM fractals to which people accused them of removing it just to add them to strikes instead to artifically force players to play it like they did with dungeons and raids years ago, to which anet says "no that's wrong" and then their secret balance discord has a leak and one of the conversations is that same guy literally stating it was being done to incentive players to do strikes lol. Or all this alliance bullshit. remember when they made a forum post about that in 2018 and made all those promises with absolutely 0 intention to follow up on them, just to carrot on a stick keep WvW players playing? Then they confirmed in 2021 "yeah alliances are coming this year" and then all we had was 1 buggy canceled beta. Or how the last 3 beta events for alliances have all contained the same exact bugs (such as the achievement one which should be an easy fix...), or the time they claimed the server linking feature was suppose to be a temporary beta feature 8 years ago...

>Nah they'd just have to release more than 2 coom skins per year, coomers
This statement is so correct I laughed, and then I cried.

i swear to my lord and savior jesus christ of nazareth that if they just put guild wars complete edition (prophecies + factions + nightfall + eotn) on steam for like $20-$30 that would give those faggots a bunch of money

>>1295140
probably just lowering the barrier to entry

how would you see players doing their own thing when explorable areas are instanced
there are probably a few thousand people in game, you can find pugs for daily missions and bounties, there are a few alliances with constant active ally chats, and groups form for scs/pvp stuff/so on every day
but if you go to a random town there will probably only be 1-2 people in it, you can't just pug your way through a campaign like it's 2005

PvP starting to come back to life with community cordinating hours and days to play, you can do your dailies often with full human player teams, and according to the game director last year the games population has tripled over the last 5 years so much so they decided to open more servers up. It's still nowhere near pre 2012 pop levels but for a game that's gone 15 years without any content updates I know there are several MMO's and games that'd kill to have population numbers this high.

My bad I have no clue what I'm talking about, I've literally never played this game before so I was under the impression that it was an MMO and was thinking about checking it out since MMOs suck dick right now. I've heard a lot about it but like I said I've never played it. What is it actually like, could you compare it to other games for an example?

>>1296635
It's an MMO, but unless you group up, the other players stay in town only. When you venture out of town (via loading screen, because instanced content) you enter a big zone with enemies and often quests direct you to explore these zones. The story quests will direct you to Missions (imagine a WoW dungeon or anything similar. it has a start and end, a boss usually, planned encounters). You can group with other players in town to explore zones, or group for a specific mission, but because the game is old and they added AI companions, many players just play by themselves. A solo player can bring along a few AI companions and fully customize their classes/abilities and even micro-manage them if you so choose. In this way it becomes more like an ARPG/CRPG than an MMO, but our guild is fairly active and there are lots of people interested in grouping together as humans like the good old days.

>What is it actually like
it's a co-op rpg. there are towns with merchants, traders, etc. where you can group up with 4-8 people but once you leave, the area is instanced to your party alone. you can play with real people or fill out your party with ai "henchmen," and you go through a storyline with missions (cutscenes, objectives) and side quests
gameplay is the real draw. it's based off magic the gathering, you pick out 8 skills from the hundreds of options (e.g. https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/List_of_Prophecies_skills ) before leaving town and instead of grinding levels or gear, you just get new skills and adapt to whatever the enemies in the area are doing (protection from hexes, condition removal, knockdowns, energy denial, etc.). the whole game is built around this, enemies use the same skills against you, the best skills even have to be found and captured in the wild from bosses

The problem won't be a matter of costs, if GW2 goes down it'll be because the studio has gone under, and if the studio goes under there won't be anyone to pay those server costs no matter how cheap they are, even if there are anet devs who I am sure would be willing to cough up the money to keep the game up, it won't be their decision, it'll be whoever owns the IP, but most likely NCSoft.

Unless of course they launch GW3 and kill GW2 servers. That would be hilarious but I honestly think the backlash would be too great for them to do it, depends how tone deaf their management is and how bad they want to sink GW3 cause that'll 100% embitter any GW2 players toward GW3.

there's something always wanted to do since 2006 with vizunah square involving as many minion masters as possible

>>1300901
gonna run into corpse problems with 16, could use jagged bones maybe

>>1300901
I'm glad I'm not the only person who's had this idea living rent free in their head for years.

I don't think we'll have the corpses for it, and due to the fact the mission has afflicted (aka melee explosives) + mind burn eles I think we'll hit a critical mass that just dies faster than we can replace. You'll likely have better success on a mission with 8 people but with better conditions for maintaining minions. Old school discord builds are probably up your ally as well.

However sub optimal conditions aside, the optimal party comp would likely include something like:

Resto rit with resto spirits - the healing coming from recup + rejuv is not to be underestimated.

human ST player (I mention human because maintaining ST with this many minions will be a super human effort this is the hardest role in the entire party)

N/P bone fiend paragon for the movement buff heals - can be a hero

HR para for obvious reasons (higher level minions + better healing = minions dying less, also 1 HR para could in theory provide HR to entire 16 man squad). If they can fit stuff like "Go For The Eyes" even better.

It might be possible to skip out on a BiP necro for the sole reason that shit will be dying so often soul reaping will be going wild. However your ST player will IRL kill themselves if you don't bring it, and blood magic has Blood Bond which has fantastic synergy with minions. If possible this hero sticks 9 into death magic to run Vereta's Sacrifice so they can spam +10 regen to allied minions. (well of blood would honestly not be awful choice here but would mean less minions so bleh).

Each party should run 1 avatar of dwayna healing derv, they AoE pulse 50 healing constantly to earshot minions which is huge. Have them stick 12 into healing prayers to grab dwayna's sorrow + healing seed for even better minion healing.

A ritualist with weapons of 3 forges for INSANE minion scaling (maybe can be stuck on resto rit?)

duality of man

>>1301038
>1/2
Oh god it's a twatter post

>>1301038
2/2

For last (non necro) slot you'd want 2 rangers, 1 running TaO with a pet because it's little known but TaO does actually work on minions iirc which is huge. This ranger should also run battle standard of honor and courage (extra damage + extra armor for the minions super buffing them to instantly melt anything they reach).

The second ranger would be for bringing lacerate and ranger spirits, if you stick with vizunah it's a great mission for this particular type of ranger. Lacerate is god like if you are running 100 minions with jagged bones meaning every time jagged bones slaps something, it does -5 health degen, winnowing spirits for extra physical damage for minions, and maybe even predatory season just for minions healing every attack (though not sure how I feel on this one, symbiosis might work too)

This would leave you with 9 slots for necros. DO NOT RUN AURA OF LICH. Aura will steal all the corpses constantly and use up 20 corpses to produce 10 minions. You can be pretty free with your picks otherwise, I'd recommend a minimum of 3 jagged bone necros per party, if they aren't running jagged bones they should at least have shambling horror on their bar. At least one necro should have Verata's Aura to fix any accidents,

A human player needs to be a human sacc and run 55 HP necro and just do nothing other than spam blood of the master. You need low HP for this otherwise blood of master will trigger on 40 minions and instantly kill you. They should run Vampiric Horrors and maybe even Flesh Golem for flavor.

With HR Para in play, all jagged horrors will be level 20 giving them 480 HP and 81 armor (equal to a warrior). There's more you can add to this comp but I think this is as many minions as we can make it without compromising viability, it might even be worth it to run 2 ST rit's each only maintaining 2 spirits.

i still consider gw now and again. it's just not obviously more important than other things. i don't want to vanquish or continue campaigns. i wanna draw instead.

>>1301098
Order of Pain does not affect minions. Unless you meant Order Of Undeath, which only affects YOUR minions, not other party members. Overall for a meme squad of minions order of undeath won't be that great unless you're going for flavor, N/P with incoming is superior pick for pure survivability of your minions.

Also I was bored so I decided to set up the builds for this hypothetical scenario that we'll never do. If any real players are playing the jagged bones roles mindbender is a really powerful choice, otherwise can be filled with whatever you are missing. If you choose to run a BiP hero have them run Vampiric Horrors and Verata's Aura as your side skills. You could also run something like a flesh golem with vereta's for flavor instead, just make sure someone has verata's to clean up any accidents a single necro or 2 dying would cause a civil war to break out ontop of the party.

If you're taking heroes it might even be worth dropping Death Nova since I don't know how the AI prioritizes when to use jagged bones vs death nova. Masochism can also maybe be dropped, but only if you have full confidence in your HR para or you are taking. Another idea would be going N/Me with arcane mimicry and have 1 person bring Flesh Golem, so now all the necros in the group could now have their own flesh golem. But that might be pushing this comp to its breaking point.

In total you should be able to maintain 90-100 minions at max. The Resto Rit, ST, HR, and TaO are most important roles for players to fill first.

Also after thinking about it, don't bring a sacc necro with blood of master, even if you were 55hp a single blood is master with 50+ minions would instantly kill you.

Wanted to ask for help for today's zm , heroes on ranger are kinda sucky.

Today starts lucky week. Feed me all your proestest of tips on how to max lucky and treasure hunter.

>>1303707
Did you farm during the golden egg weeks? That's the cheapest way to get treasure hunter, I try to farm at least 250-500 eggs every year just so I can slowly chip away at it because I can't stand doing the locked chest runs

Did you buy lockpicks during the brief week we owned an outpost? That's the cheapest lockpicks you can buy for maxing treasure hunter.

For lucky/unlucky you just need to be rich and willing to afk on boardwalk for a couple of festivals over the years. If you're really lucky once in a blue moon you can get a lucky week during a boardwalk event.

Otherwise good luck. Luvky/unlucky tends to be easier to max then treasure hunter.

>>1303715

It does but it has to be done.
If I'm going for Lucky it doesn't matter what chest I open right? Only that I retain the pick.

>>1303908
Locked chests are always ok, for other types of chests that you can use keys for, iirc the key value needs to be above 600 gold, otherwise it does not count.

Blog post time: I did sharts of Orr on my paragon with heroes and I went in expecting pain. I did it several times on my mes, warrior, derv and ass so I knew what to expect but thought it'd be hell.
I turned out to be the smoothest SoO ride I've had with heroes, by orders of magnitude. No wipes, only one death was the BiP necro. Fendi and his bois weren't a problem at all, I just stood there and yelled TNTF and SY whenever they were available, it was great. I was running Humane Resources on my para, squad was BiP necro, ST rit, Ineptitude mes, Picnic mes and 3 Esurges.
The tankiness from shouts and damage from 20 in mesmer attributes is too much.

>>1304198

Raptors are a pretty good way to do it if you're a warrior and profiting from the runs, imo. Lose an hour of progress because your dumb ass stripped wary stance early when you were at 800k xp? Doesn't feel quite so bad when you've got a bag full of glittering dust and birthday cupcakes.

That said, you probably will die a few times.

I think vaettir is a good suggestion, it's very easy to do, and vaettirs do very little damage so you'll have several seconds to react and fix your mistake (or quickly zone out)

It's exactly that setup, I can't figure out a good position for the keystone mesmer, the Pain Titans always attack him either as soon as they spawn or after a couple minutes.

I made enough xp for the first survivor tier once, I guess I could mix all approaches to get the title faster...

I got some Zaishen Keys. Is there any guide as to what is worth keeping from the chest?

>>1308204
eblade, crystalline sword, voltaic spear, obsidian edge, draconic aegis, celestial compass basically any rare with a skin you haven't seen before, and if it looks cool it's worth checking even if you have seen it
el tonics, especially the nonmonthly ones

"only" 500k lucky points to go, fuck my life

That's a shield set. Not much point in using an enchanting staff as a ghost.

The vanquish for Pockmark Flats and Regent Valley went smoothly with the Rescue at Minister Cho HM setup from PVXWiki, maybe I won't have to wait to get the legionnaire summoning stone to vanquish Ascalon.

I would really recommend at least doing a caravan VQ from Yak's Bend. Having a party of 6 instead of 4 makes it pretty trivial. Not worth waiting until Wayfarer's.

>If the door just before Rurik does not open, yet you have killed off the local enemies, you will have to backtrack and find the Boss and engineers you did not kill. This has previously been misinterpreted as a bug.

do they have to be q9 to be worth something?

really depends on the skin
for some stuff (e.g. voltaic spears) even q13 is worth a bunch of ecto
