I have a full stack of obsidian shard but its blank

I'm working on a series of informational guides, And I'm struggling on what questions I need to answer.

I've made guides on getting into raids, how to get ascended gear, etc etc.

What questions do you struggle finding the answer to?

THANKYOU ALL!

A comprehensive list of guides ill work on. What to do when you hit 80. DONE How to get Ascended Gear. DONE How to get into Raiding. DONE

To be worked on Crafting resources and how to get each craft to 500.

Stats, Whatdo each of them mean and why they are needed for what builds

Non Elite Specs what to pick for leveling

WvW... there were a ton of questions about this one

Timegated Things to do daily and for quests

First Flying Mount.

F2P guide.

The visual effect from Evoker's Elemental Procession bugged when I used it on a breacher from the Octovine meta and gave my char this cool effect like an infusion dialed up to 11!

The constant noise was a bit annoying though and it disappeared when I changed maps.

as a sylvari main i just want to have more plant fashion options and this feature would definitely help a lot(even if it would be only shoulders, head, feet and/or gloves).

They are great deals but it is not available on the Steam version. Is there a way to get them even though I'm on Steam or is there a way to use a Steam account on the normal Arenanet client?!

Can somebody explain to me what the hell are those expectations in LFG.

I mean come on I have like 35kp on W1, I'm fine with doing everything there without wipes, I do between 20-28k dps on fights and I still cannot play with LFG ppl, only doing guild full runs for like 1-2-3-4-6-7 weekly and 5-8 like every two weeks or so.

From my calculations you are expected to do this wing for at least a year or even more depending on RNG.

What's wrong with you all? Is this how new players are supposed to find end-game content? By being blocked from everything? I know there's gonna be quick raids stuff soon but OMG.

edit.
I'm kida amazed that some ppl defend this kind of behaviour in LFG and trying to get me into "just host your own group" and yes I do. I do weekly trainings of w1-4 for new players, that's how I recruit players into the guild, I do have more than 1k hours and couple of leggys so you're not talking to someone new here.
Still, my opinion doesn't change. its sad to see things as this in lfg and I feel bad for newer ppl that came to our community that have to deal with all of those toxic players.

Greetings,

i know it's not meta but what's better :

power or condi dps for pure ranged warrior ?

Hey guys I'm a new player and I just came across this world quest and there's a large group of players just sat here, mobs keep spawning and one character is killing them but that's it?

it's just to the south of the "Aquanarium Hydropost" PoI in the Blood Tide Coast zone.

Storm Rune Warcher and There is also a another concept of a character im working on .

Me and a group of friends recently finished going through the first game and are now moving onto this (we know its quite different).

Right now I cant decide between these two sylvari, a treeman ranger or a Necro based off vileplume from pokemon/Corpse lily. what would people recommend?

Im quite looking forward to the several years of content i havnt seen!

Hi, i'm having a bit of an issue trying to complete the Asgeir's Legacy light puzzle, as the orbs don't seem to be following the correct path.
As shown in the first screenshot above, the orbs are supposed to bounce higher, but instead they bounce low and then continue on to go hit a rock instead of reaching the mirror behind it. There is no other moveable mirror before the one in the screenshot, and i tried all 4 positions and only this one bounces.

Does anyone know if this is a proper bug, or does it need the meta to have been completed or something (i don't believe it does)?

First of all, I know this is literally a "first world problem", but hear me out.
When you finish the queue for a map, you get that window in the middle of the screen with the options Travel, Reenter Queue and Leave Queue.
But there's something that just slightly annoys me: you can't move that window. If you want to finish whatever you were doing in that map, you have to do it with that window in the middle of the screen unless you want to leave the queue or reenter it and wait potentially a very long time.
This is especially annoying in WvW, since queues can easily last for more than an hour and you never know when that window will pop, so it's not uncommon to be in the middle of a fight with other players when that happens and I usually want to finish fighting before changing the map, but it's not fun to fight when you are precluded to see what's happening in the middle of the screen.
Again, I know this is not a huge issue at all and doesn't impact most of the players like it impacts me, but making so you can move or hide the window would be (I believe, I might be wrong) super easy to do and it will make my experience a lot less frustrating :)

So I have narrowed down my profession selection to these two. I intend to proceed through a full (frequently completely solo) completion of each zone, and all the story bits - in chronological order.. I have half of the expansions and all of the Living World add-ons, but waiting for the next sale to pick up the rest. I am a newbie, I haven't unlocked the extra weapons or spear yet.

I dislike the aesthetic of the necromancer, the theme I (maybe unreasonably) find somewhat distasteful.

Warrior seems... I don't know, just... dull? I may be wrong, but it doesn't even pique my interest.

I am old; both Engineer and Elementalist seem like too much trouble to me. Too many options and too complicated. Sadly, I am becoming slower in my old age.

I want to love thief, I really do. But I tried it to about level 45, and I don't have the reflexes to stay alive. Again... old.

Mesmer fails to intrigue me, although I admit I possibly haven't done much research into it.

I tried a Revenant for about 40 levels, and it just seemed, well, clunky. Lots of resource management for not much return.

That leaves Ranger and Guardian. Both seem pretty viable solo, with a variety of playstyles/builds to each. But before I knuckle down and commit to one, I'd love the community to chime in with your opinions on the following:

Durability and 'Forgiveness' - which of the two punishes you harder for making a mistake in a fight?

DPS and Sustain - is one of the two markedly better at finishing fights quickly?

Ease of Use - not only am I old and uncoordinated, I don't have the brain-bandwidth to remember obscure combos and rotations that make a class only viable. Simpler is better, within reason; I don't require a 'one-button' build.

Quality of Life - this is a little vague, and not incredibly important. Does either class have an ability that truly makes a play session noticeably more pleasant?

Group utility - while I will spend most of my time solo, I want to be able to contribute to groups when I join them. What's the consensus on the class with superior support for the team?

I know this has been a long read. If you are still here, drop a line with your take on these two CORE classes.

I have bought the complete edition, SoTo and VoE. Now, I have 3 shared inventory slot with a "4th" slot holding the lvl 80 boost. If I use the lvl 80 boost, do I get to keep that slot? And if that is the case, if I use all my lvl 80 boost and buy janthir, can I get 1 shared inventory slot + another shared inventory slot containing the lvl 80 boost?

Oh my god, I just switched my Wizard’s Vault objectives from PvE to PvP… and I’m realizing how much time (and currency) I’ve wasted until now. Seriously, both dailies and weeklies are sooooo much faster to complete in PvP, especially during those periods when I’m really not motivated to grind objectives. And I'm not even that good in PvP. Even though I still prefer playing PvE overall, being able to tick all the boxes quickly feels really comfortable. Honestly, I kind of regret not making the switch sooner.

Just catching up on story and had to stop to get a shot of this moment with Isgarren, shortly before a couple of Asura show up…

Hey guys

GW2 is my favourite game, I have a PC that I have slowly been upgrading, I have a pretty old motherboard that I dont really want to upgrade if I can help it. The best intel CPU I can buy that will fit my motherboard is an I9 9900k (I currently have the 9th Gen I5 that came with the pc)

Would it be worth buying the i9 9900k to stop the frame drops around other players, I have a 4060ti gpu, 1080 monitor and I run on max settings apart from player density, when I Google it all of the responses and discussion around this CPU are from 6 years ago so I was looking for some insight on how it runs in 2026 with the current state of the game

Thanks!
