As the title says, I've sent 10 gold and a few high-level bags to a fiend's in-game mailbox. They no longer play and it's been months. Any chance I'll get it back (and when) or does it stay there forever?

Couldn't find it on wiki.

Thank you

Hello ArenaNet team,

Could you please give the PvP match found notification sound a higher priority than crafting sounds?

When I queue for a PvP match and minimize the game to craft items, the crafting sounds sometimes take priority, and I don't hear the match found notification. I end up continuing to craft, unaware that a match is ready.

By the time I return to the game, I've missed the queue and received a matchmaking penalty.

This is frustrating because the match found notification is time-sensitive and much more important than any crafting sound. Please ensure that the PvP match found sound always plays clearly, even when other in-game sounds are playing in the background or the game is minimized.

Thank you for your attention to this issue!

Hi. I am relatively new to the game. I have been playing for about 4 weeks or so, and I am an Asura Engineer.

I have reached level 65, and my friend has reached level 60. I want to create a tank or healer build for dungeons. What would be the best skill set for the race and class, or would I be better off with a different class/race? I do have 2 level 80 boosts if I need to choose a different class, or I can power through with the hero point things.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Sometimes it feels like I get a bunch of bags, sometimes I see a bunch of enemies dying as we arr moving and not getting anything.

Like which buffs do you turn on to maximize the afkness?

I typically have been turning on swiftness, regen, and fury, just to use enough energy to not have to legend swap, while 1ing with short bow.

Labyrinth farming builds have obviously been a contentious and repeated point of discussion, as they are every year. I wanted to take a moment and open discussion around more Lab Builds!

For those un-initiated: players farm the Mad King's labyrinth by opening doors in a repeated loop. The key is to allow everyone in the squad to tag enemies without killing them too swiftly. This generally takes the form of high mobility low DPS builds, like ye 'ole TagDevil and boon supports such as Heralds.

The Mad King's Labyrinth presents a unique opportunity for buildcrafting outside of the norm. Instead of building for maximum DPS, we get to build for a balance of maximum mobility, unique boons and class buffs, and minimum DPS. I'd love to hear what your favorite tagging builds are!

Herald was my main for a long time, so I do unashamedly run Herald in lab and elsewhere. As much as I love Herald, the movement is not that fun, and it only goes so far when everyone and their mother is applying the same buffs. I prefer running an Elixir/Gyro scrapper. Elixirs for boon variety, with enough gyros for high superspeed uptime. More group mobility AND sharing the boons equals lots of loot.

What do you run? Classic TagDevil? AFK heal Mechanist? Mirage dodge spam? Something zany I didn't even consider?

I get that the idea in the small events is to fill time between festivals and releases.

But I can't help but feel that with the Labyrinth etc. it would have been great to incentivise dismounted play to enable a more even playing field when it comes to running around together.

I didn't play much of the Dismount Event though, so it might not have been all that/annoying anyway.

Hello,

I am not able to test it and/or find it as benchmark.

DH hammer with traps make around 32-34k dps which is more than enough for some raids and fractals T4 in my opinion.

Do somebody know what is the benchmark with hammer Luminary (using f4 stance or not using?)?

I am not sure if luminary traits or sth else make this dps better or worse.

Thank you for support.

Anyone know if there is a pathing pack for "Carving Across Tyria".

I have a few different pathing packs, but they show where the pumpkins are on each map, but I'm looking for a route to get to each pumpkin the quickest and mindlessly carve....600+ pumpkins. TIA!

Hey. Im starting to learn wvw i have a queshion. We fought an amalgam 1 vs 5. And we lost. He wasnt even breaking a sweat while beating us. Is it supposed to be like this or was he cheating somehow ?

Here is one of my main girls, Nocte, as a plague doctor on vacation.

I've restarted the game and its still there flashing. I cannot click it and its constantly flashing like I'm supposed to click it.

Here is my attempt to create Djinn cosplay.

¡Muy buenas! Antes que nada me gustaría felicitar a la comunidad de GW2 porque siempre ofrecen ayuda, aclaran dudas por el chat y hay un ambiente agradable (open world, ya el tema PvP de momento no he experimentado jaja).

Llevo tiempo jugando (a un ritmo muy lento) y avanzando únicamente en la historia del juego. Estoy comenzando Mundo Viviente (Temporada 1) habiendo acabado la historia del juego base y sé que aún me queda explorar y descubrir mil cosas del juego, pero es cierto que tengo ganas de "dar el 100%" de mi Guerrero. Entiendo que lo ideal es mirar webs (tipo MetaBattle, SnowCrows, etc.) pero me gustaría saber la experiencia de ustedes sin mirar tierlist ni nada por el estilo (de momento).

Si algo tengo claro, a día de hoy, es que me gustaría seguir jugando con el mandoble como arma principal (y secundaria hachas o espadas, por ejemplo, pero abierto a otras armas). ¿El por qué? Estoy enamorado del El Mandoble del Crepúsculo y claro... me costará mucho lograrla pero quiero mantener esa idea como un objetivo/reto personal a medio plazo jaja. Por tanto, sabiendo esto... ¿Qué especialización me recomiendan y builds ideales?

Espero con ansias vuestras opiniones y dejarme aconsejar por los que realmente llevan años en el juego jeje.

Muchas gracias por adelantado.
Saludos.

I am desperate to have this please

Hi all hope yall doing great.

I have been playin the game for a long time and mostly interested in CM fractals.

I am main warrior and I play almost all roles except for adps and qheal

I am already somehow good at my job in CMs and mostly hit the benchmark dps but am trying to use other classes for some specific bosses like in 96 and 97.

I need a guide to know the details about how should I start my openner or do precasts/pre traps or manage my skills cooldowns at each boss to do max dmg.

For instance, currently am working on DH and wanna watch how other good players do their job at specific bosses.

Anyone knows a good resource for that purpose ?
Can not find too many resources out there.

I am doing Stella Radians right now and enjoy it. But the 7 million Karma you gotta farm is a bit overkill in my opinion. I know the best karma farms out there, so I am not looking for advice on this (unless there is a sleeper nobody knows about?).

I don't complain about a Legendary taking long/needing loads of resources - It's kinda the idea; a long term QOL / Cosmetic goal you don't "need" but want and guides you through different content and lets you "accidentally" progress your Account in completely different content too. That's one of the main reasons I like the concept of Legendaries - no hurry, since it's stats and such aren't better, but it's still chase-worthy due to many different aspects.

BUT 7 million Karma is gonna be the bottleneck. I will have easily completed all other steps and will need to put in the same amount of hours again just for the Karma farm, which isn't necessarily fun if focused on specifically.

I am at 1,5m right now and, if I were to guess, I probably have accumulated around 10 million Karma total which I've spent on other Leggies and Achievements. I never rlly focused on karma farming, sure, but I have a couple hundred hours of playtime and if those will give me just around 1.5 times the Karma I need for one leggy, it's a bit out of proportion.

If I farm Karma with the best methods out there (excluding winter's day) I would have to farm nearly 40h straight for 7 million karma, and even with wintersday it will be around 30h. If those 30-40h would just be "regular playtime" I wouldn't say anything, that would actually not be that much, but it's dedicated, numbing karma farming.

Do most Players "just have" millions of karma laying around and ANet wanted a sink? Or how did this sudden increase from around 2 million Karma for a leggy up to 7m happen?

Not discouraged, not raging or ranting, just a little "oof"-feeling. :)

EDIT: Got a couple insights and came to the conclusion that, yes, 7m karma is a lot to farm, but it's also gathered from all content, so with the not super high frequency of karma sink releases, it's easy to just "have" it at your disposal and it's not forcing you to do a specific content. It just happens to be a currency where players have lots of different "starting points", therefore hard to balance "correctly".

TL;DR: 7 million karma is probably too much when starting at 0 and will take too much time compared to the other steps within the legendary, but since you get it from all sources it can be expected for players to just "have it at their disposal" and it's not forcing you to do a specific content either.

I've tried the fractal a couple of times as glut player and I had read that one can reach 160k dps, but mine was showing quite average numbers, and watching youtube videos I also see average (and if anything lower) DPS numbers. Is there a way to see the glut damage or how?

This video has the arcdps number, around 24k and then below "self damage" at 100k+, is that also from arc? How can I see that number?

Now that Visions of Eternity is over and ArenaNet is taking a longer break before the next content release, what are your plans for the future?

Will you finally start playing Guild Wars 1 if you haven't already?

Will you create a new character and play through the entire story again?

Will you farm achievements to increase your AP or to meet possible Hall of Monuments requirements?

Or will you play another game in the meantime, such as GTA 6 or World of Warcraft: Forever?

My plans during this "content break" are:

• Get my Guild Wars 1 Hall of Monuments to 50/50.
• Play WoW Forever when I'm gaming with friends.
• Complete the requirements for each Hall of Monuments-related release in Guild Wars 2.

What about you guys? What are you planning to do during the content break?

Was thinking: currently both the raid rewards and the fractal rewards are pretty boring, we only really get a tonic as special reward. A good solution would be to reward the spear and staff reskin for Anchora to the CM vloxx encounter, I dont know how this would work (maybe a collection step that gives you the variant if you have anchora).

What do ya'll think?

I'm still a huge noob, but this was my first big goal in Guild Wars 2, and I finally did it! Thanks to this amazing community, I've learned so much about this beautiful game while slowly ticking off all those little dots on the map.

Along the way, I completed my personal story, collected enough mastery points to unlock autoloot (seriously, what an incredible QoL upgrade!), stumbled into my first world boss, fought an enormous fire elemental, completed a few fractals, joined a huge group taking down rift bosses, and even dipped my toes into WvW. I'm still pretty confused by WvW, but I'm already much less intimidated by the PvP side of the game!

I know core map completion might be a small achievement for a lot of you veterans, but it feels really good to finally see that number hit 100% for a noob like myself. I'm excited to keep learning, spend more time in WvW, run more fractals, and eventually explore all the dungeons at least once. There's still so much of this game left for me to discover, and I can't wait! I really enjoyed the personal story, and am super excited to see how the expansions play out. I currently have the living worlds, heart of thorns, and path of fire.

Honestly, I'm a little sad I didn't give this game more of a chance when I bought it at launch. But I'm so happy to be experiencing it now, and the welcoming community has made coming back all the better. Thank you all for being such a breath of fresh air in the gaming world. 🖤

Like some new superrare in any of the lootboxes etc.? or vendors selling something new that wasn't there the last years?
