"As is traditional, we’ll also have a wide range of Gem Store sales to celebrate the anniversary, and maybe even a few freebies to collect (spoiler: mount skin)." https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/studio-update-guild-wars-2-tenth-anniversary-and-steam-launch-on-august-23/ The gemstore doesn't always update at the same time as everything else.

I know so many people that are really excited about Guild Wars 2 launching on Steam today, none of them are aware of how toxic the Steam userbase can get. Very much will be hiding chat for awhile until the launch calms down.

Very much will be hiding chat for awhile until the launch calms down. I don't understand this comment, so what if you launch it via steam or from the gw2 launcher?

Kind of a bummer that the decade achievements are just "uhhh go do a bunch of events and poo poo" rather than anything the slightest bit engaging.

The existing gw2 user base is largely made of people who are steam users

I want to check out the updated leveling experience to see how much less it sucks. Dare I brave the starter zones?

Yeah, "Steam User" is not a community. If your experiences with steam users are negative it is because the games you are playing are fostering bad communities. I have played SWTOR, STO, PoE, EQ2 as far as MMORPGs go through steam and none of those have bad communities.

And gw2 has a nicer community than most MMOs because the gameplay fosters and rewards cooperation

Steam is still the de facto PC gaming platform, despite Epic's attempts over the years to chip away at them with exclusivity deals and free games. I don't think you can really derive anything from "Steam user" other than "plays games on a computer"

Blessed be the steam reviewquote:I don't know man, all the high end characters look ridiculous. Everyone has wings and everything has a glow effect. It looks like im at a rave in the middle of the slums in a medieval village. Aesthetically TESO looks far better. This just looks like everyone is made of chinese fireworks. quote:I have almost 20k hours between Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 combined and the best advice I can give you after 17 years with this franchise is: do not give a single dime to this developer.

So they made something that this dude spent 2 of his last 17 years doing, like 2 actual, full years worth of time. And he's been doing it for what must be a good portion of his life... and he doesn't think it's worth spending any money on? It's that terrible, really? That's above and beyond the best return you could possibly ask for from an entertainment product. What a loving pathetic man baby lmao "I've spent 2/3rds of my life playing Anet products and they're the worst things ever! I hated every second of it and they're mean poopie heads. I'll post more details after I'm done with the daily fractals! " Hakarne fucked around with this message at 23:09 on Aug 23, 2022 |

All you have to do is change something in the launch options, supposedly, to be able to use your old account.

Generally, it's some variation of make X of the highest inscription you can, discover an item to make with it and make all X of them.

For example, a steel sword requires a steel sword hilt, a steel sword blade, and a <prefix> seasoned inscription or a <prefix> steel plated inscription. There are 15 different inscriptions you could use; for example, a "Hunter's Seasoned Inscription" or a "Ravaging Seasoned Inscription", which are both made with seasoned wood dowel but different secondary items (claw and venom sac, respectively). The hunter's inscription increases your precision and power stats. The ravaging inscription increases your condition damage and precision stats. All 15 different types of steel swords are separate discoverable recipes. MajorBonnet posted:GW2crafts.net will show you the cheapest route to level. Generally, it's some variation of make X of the highest inscription you can, discover an item to make with it and make all X of them. Was going to recommend this myself, but the site appears to be down.
