Not the one you have been asking, but you can eigher install Lutris, and then install GW2 from there, or download it on Steam. Those are 2 fairly straightforward ways. If you have an ArenaNet account (rather than an account binded to Steam), but still want to use Steam as your launcher - just write "-provider Portal" in launch options.

As someone who is right now working from abroad by necessity - this idea is full of shit.

Yes, you won't get a chance to properly enjoy your time away, you will always have time constrains (remember - you still need to work, and it's still on top of your priority list), you will only get to enjoy the country like 2h a day (or whatever you had before as "me" time - that time didn't change much) .

Assuming you are not going out far from your usual timezone - you will basically only enjoy it in the evenings, and if you are adventurous enough to move very far away from your original timezone - gl, because now you will have all the timezone mess upon you and possibly are working in the unusual hours.

In short: your work will suffer, you will suffer, you won't get to enjoy your vacation and the country and on top of that - this will cost you more money than you usually pay! What a steal (literally).

Still remember my first phone, Motorola C200 (I think?). This pebble of a phone was solid, you could probably get away with using it as a hammer a few times. Not as sturdy as that legendary Nokia, but still.

Sadly, considering where I lived (not US, and not EU), I strongly believe that nobody would give a damn about the report.

We had one of our lectors straight up tell us in front of full class (18 ppl: 16 guys and 2 gals), that we are going to use our diplomas as a hot pot stand. And we are here just for show, to hook up with smart guys. Yes, those were his exact words.

Nothing in me or the other girl suggested that we were attending lections to flirt with someone. Especially knowing that both of us were quite diligent students.

He also was very open and proud about him being sexist. It's still baffling to me that people like that exist, succeed, and have a bloody confidence to take pride in their shittiness.

Ooh! Yeah, that's a lot😂 Do not remeber how long it took me to get through PoF, but it took me and my bf around 3 evenings to get through EoD on launch. So it's not too long (but of course, it depends on how much time you have to spare every single day).

Yeah, I think it will surely take copious amounts of T6 mats - that's for sure.

Good call! I still can't believe they seemingly "forgot" that leg runes existed. Two of my friends actually just finished their leg runes a month before expac announcement. They are very bitter right now (and rightfully so).

[–] Ranjeliq@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago

I'm kinda in the same boat (hence the question). I'm still interested in the story (the set up fir the expac looks promising to me) and more fractals/strikes are always a welcome addition. But because I've played for so long already, I have a lot in account value - and it's hard to get excited.

Have no answer on you question about how many shared slots are enough, but mine are filled with:

  • Mystic Salvage Kit
  • Copper-Fed Salvage-o-Matic
  • Runecrafter's Salvage-o-Matic
  • Mistlock Sanctuary Passkey
  • Blue, Green, Yellow unid gear (I always keep of each in there, so all unids from all characters would go in one place)
  • Season 3, 4 and Icebrood portal tomes
  • Feast of Delectable Birthday Cake
  • Prototype Position Rewinder
  • Infinite Mist Omnipotion

I probably would like to add a waystation and at least one of the candy gobblers in there. Maybe fractal encryption keys, TP to friend and some enhancement, too.

I understand what you mean, I have the same feeling - everything is a but less vivid now.

I am no expert, but my guess that is happening because you have much more experience with the world now. As we age, the number of things that will be completely new to us becomes smaller and smaller. We just have more experience, and even if we haven't seen/felt/heard something particular, chances are, that your brain still won't be completely surprised - it will be able to find some experiences that you have which are close to that new thing.

But when you are a kid - there is a whole world of things you didn't experience at all or didn't experience enough to understand fully. That's why everything was so vivid - there was a lot of "truly" new experiences.
