For Daredevil advice guy, remember that staff 4 can instantly blind an enemy, repeatedly, for basically free. Also the dash dodge gives you lots of fast movement and extra iframes, and you can use your elite to pop a whole break bar on your lonesome. Then use the punch one because it's cool

It doesn't, it just extends the length of the distance covered by the dodge and looks like it lasts a fraction longer, but all dodges have the same .75s evade window.

I started using staff 4 more last night because I realized I hardly need to use initiative for anything else. I was already using the punch elite.
I do pretty well one on one, but still struggle in groups fights.

Is it possible to solo unlock the guild hall?

No, but my RL friends' guild did it with 8 people, I think? It seemed (when we looked into it at launch) to scale by the 10s of people participating. So the closer you get to 10 without going over, the easier it would be.

This is what my GF did. She's got so much XP now she's started doing the really stupid and obscure achievements to get mastery points to spend the XP. Whose dumb idea was it to gate things behind two different kinds of points?

You know what this game needs now? It needs a small peaceful zone dedicated to being able to pose your character to get awesome screenshots. Like - specifically it makes them pose and gets the camera all set up and lets you get a decent shot of your gear. I mean, we spend so much time on that poo poo, why not a glamour portrait? I know you can get screenshots anywhere really but I like the idea that you could go somewhere with good lighting that you can control somewhat - pick a pose that your dude actually holds and even you could do a specific lens or like some filters I dunno... clearly they make money on us wanting to Pretty Princess as much as possible I wonder why they don't have any way to 'show off' officially. Could be a good money sink if you want to 'hire' a studio or uh, photo session, ???

also i am not thinking of anything rude/sexual, just - maybe a pose designed to show off a cool weapon where you don't have to hit 1 and hope to get a halfway decent shot spamming prntscn button. a few glamour poses, you know what i mean? ... i need... a life.

World of Warcraft introduced a selfie camera that does this stuff specifically for this reason. A similar thing would work really well in GW2.

And that's how they lost several raid tiers. Like seriously, the selfie camera patch was supposed to be the "content" patch.

Yeah that's a cool idea, another thing to add (maybe that's already possible) is to take screenshots at the highest level of detail + res, not dependent on the setting you're usually running with on your toaster computer. There's a game that already does this, forgot which one.

Ok so, hey guys. Who here needs the final Heart of Thorns story achievement? Particularly the hard mode one, as the others you can just do solo. Myself and another goon jave been meaning to do it, so I'm just gonna reach out to the thread and say hey tonight is the night.

Also if the one dude who mentioned needing it in raid last sunday could say when they're available that'd be great. I'll try being on around 7:30-8pm est myself.

I'm using that, it does work to make the screeny use the proper res - but doesn't help my utterly abysmal sense of timing and placement. I love the idea of a selfie-camera, so long as it was flexible in what you could do with it. I still want the ability to take a properly lit composed "costume show off" shot though. And ones that set off my Sylvari skins, I spend SO LONG on those drat skin tones lmao, my pretty salads want to show off like flowers. Also more plant armour please. And flowers, lots of them.
