Well it happend , after 13 years the game finally clicked to me big time.

By the time the game first launched in 2012 I was playing mainly mmos and the only thing I knew is "gear progression"

And so i Bought the game at launch played till level 80 and then a little bit more and when I realized the game doesn't have a progressin got board and quite.

Over the years I tried to get back. Bought HOT played for few hours did not understand anything got overwhelmed and again no gear progressin and quit.

After that i Bought path of fire at launch and the same things again. I even bought EOD at launch and played for 2 houres and told my self nope not again and asked for refund and got it.

Since then I've played WOW and Over the years got back for few houres and played the same things and quite but the game was always in my mind and I kept get updates on what new because overall, I loved the combat , the style of the world. The game is stuning ! so 1 weeks ago decided to try again.

This time I said I need a fresh place (EOD) a fresh playstyle (any of the new eod specs) so I bought eod and got the vitruso( used my level 80 mirage and had to get the hero points from HOT and IT WAS A NIGHTMARE) got the virtuso and started EOD story and asked my self "why I don't quite again ?"

And then i realized why.

I Dont really care about the story but I love to explore and see new places in video games. Over the years because I didn't care about the story i didnt bothered with it and tried to just jump straight in and got overwhelmed and you know what.

This time was different and after a few hours I realized why I don't quite.

I use the story to not get overwhelmed by the big map and "where should I go". I play the story because it tells me where to go and Im exploring the whole expansion slowly and discovering new places , new events.

In the middle of story I decided I want a griffon but I realized i need 250 gold and i had only 10 gold. So stopped doing the story and started doing meta events (learned what those events are and wow they are fun as hell)

Then i realized I have in my storage bank 200 gold worth of materials and I don't care about crafting but I do care about the hot dog with the wings.

Sold everything but wait i need 30 more gold, where can I get them ? got them from wizards vault . Got my self the griffon , new thing i need now is to get the full mastery point for him cuz right now he is only a flying noodle with wings.

Suddenly I got a list of achivments I want to get the rewards from which are skins and other nice things , i want to finish the eod story , i know HOT im not gonna playing and POF Ive done for the griffon. Amd When the times comes I'll also get jantir wilds and later later the new expansion. Ive Actually understand what they meant when they say to set your own goals because as you see , I have so much of them . And Got addicted to this game .

I hope that other new players and returning players will see this post and other like this and got the click they searching for to start enjoy this game .

Also this community is awesome man , when I create a group with the event name , NOTHING.

But When I add "I need help with" before the event name ? Players are rushing to aid ! . Amazing.

That's it thanks for reading and sorry for my awful English. It's not my primary language

I’ve gotten back into the game, and am hoping to do some HP trains but they don’t seem to be happening.

Just the second time I met Umbriel, first one was almost a lost, this time, we got him to 75%, he moved to one of the islands near the water area, and stayed in the water so all the AOE red was covered by the water textures, never saw as much downstates as today

Zojja getting very low, but we couldn't heal her because the essence only drops every 10%, and the essence fucking despawned. We got him to 50%, but he didn't switch phase immediately, he did that dumbass 'make 20 mini copies before leaving' which was what killed Z in the end

thanks Umbi

What is it, that you do on a daily or regular basis when you login?

What I do is:

Daily Wizards Tower Full home clear T4 and rec Each convergence IBS5 and DS strike Loot boxes of my two alts (bjora marches and New Kajneg)

Now what I am interested in is, what else can I do?

Is there anything in JW that I should do?

What do you do with alts? Do you do map completions etc?

With how customisable builds are in this game, I won't deny that I tend to just use a pre-made one out of personal unfamiliarity. So I was just curious what weapons other people use to deviate from the norm and whether it is for aesthetic reasons, play style reasons or because of some other reason.

Curious if anyone knows if sylvari sweat when hot or how they regulate their temperature. I have done a pretty deep dive into sylvari anatomy in the usual places and can't seem to find mention of it.

"Yakslapper - Kill 2,500 enemy supply caravans."

For example, depending on how many tiers they make, killing 100,000 yaks could reward the Yakslappererererererererer title. When you see an entire screen's length of -ers pass you by, you'll know they've dedicated a lifetime to slaughtering enemy ruminants.

This would cause no problems and would be awesome for everyone.

"Kill the Svanir shaman before he completes the Dragon totem" and the following events, absolutely needed to complete the legendary staff Nevermore, is yet again bugged and will not spawn. According to this post from 2023, it has been bugged since 2016.

Anet, please, I beg of you, if your events have been reported to bug and give a necessary component to a collection, make an NPC sell that component. I have been playing this game since launch. I did these events. Let me buy the stupid item from a heart vendor or whatever. I shouldn't be trying to instance hop and praying for a map that isn't bugged.

Legendaries and collections are a core part of the endgame for players. It's so frustrating when you learn they've been known to be bugged for almost a decade. Really hoping to see them fix these issues with their "systems update" or whatever the first quarterly update of Visions of Eternity is meant to be.

Hi, I've a bit of hard time understanding the profitability of the weekly blc key farm. With the pre-sale of the new expansion, I've now a free character slot that I thought to use it for that - I've around 15ish experience scrolls that I will not use otherwise. I gave it a go, and follow the guidelines - use a human character, skip the tutorial, use the scroll and to the story until level 10. It took me around 45 min for getting the key. I'm not sure about the value of the key, but I think I can do quite some gold in the same amount of time by doing other pve activities. Is ithe blc key really worth the time / am I taking too long ? Thanks!

Hi there I’m a long time player who recently started playing the game again (stopped in 2015) and I was wondering how is the legendary weapons grind now? Back then it was very long and tedious is it still the same now? Thanks!

Guessing on elites spec mechanic is fun, but let's also guess on the culture of the tyrian alliance member inspiring those elite spec !

Here my guesses :

  • Troubadour : Human culture, they have the nobility, the automated orchestra.. It seems in line

  • Antiquary : Lion's Arch pirate gang, with added bonus of skritt shiny searcher

  • Evoker : The rune on the firefox ressemble the one from the norn, maybe they are tied to those culture of shamanic esoteric nature spirit magic ?

  • Paragon : Elona and the Sunspear

  • Ritualist : Cantha

  • Ranger : My first guess was tengu culture, but wouldn't it be strange to have tengu falconer ?? I'm at lost right now.

  • Engineer : My guess is that is a spec with some type of liquid silver control, so it would be some kind of high-tech asuran Synergetic invention.

  • Guardian : The lantern looked at the same time magic and technology, wouldn't it be possible it come from the Unified Legion, a mix between an Iron and Fire Legion for a portable Foefire fueled apparel. That would be very cool !

  • Revenant : With every other main race having their representation, It would be cool to have sylvari also there. And the weird icon remind me of mordrem. Scarlett elite spec ?
