Crafting food in gw2 always makes me hungry and interested in trying something new at home.

1. I've been looking on the 'net for a real-world Spicy Pumpkin Cookies. I think I'd love those.

2. Our Ascended chefs cant make hot cocoa or grilled cheese. Great comfort foods.

It used Glyph of Tailor instead of it's own.

If you go into F11-settings, set the compass always off. Minimap disappears. Comes back instantly when you turn the compass back on.

I just tried it again. Set compass always off minimap is gone and then reversing it will make it return. These settings are relatively new. Not sure when they appeared since many details don't show up in the patch notes. Same with my other account.

as above ..

Don't forget with Wintersday festival you can farm 100,000 Karma per day for 22 days.

It's my favorite time to stock up again.

Each expansion is the NEWest end-game content for PvE.

It is difficult on purpose to remain challenging. It's either that or resort to killing 10,000 rats ...

Bring a group if you need support. Otherwise, as solo, you have to be able to kill fast and dance around the clusters while killing.

Buy EARLY and sit on gems.

Read the Achieve .. 4 events in Fields of Ruin for the participation.

Sad truth .. many many of the veteran players have done EVERYTHING. They don't play until fresh content is released. Then the maps are hopping for a couple of weeks.

Need Dragon Mastery 2 Crystal.

Today I was going slow watching for it.

Usually I'm 100% active and loot is streaming by. I take mobs and kill them solo so I get busy, never one by one.

source for above:

"01/14/2020—January 14 Release Notes"

Spirit shards will now be earned when experience cannot go to other forms of progress, such as Masteries or gaining levels.

Thanks for the info. I was able to confirm the Spirit Shard in Bjorra today.

I keep hearing this but I've never been able to prove it true.

I read all release notes and haven't seen a mention either. (please link if you've seen it - from Anet)

I filled the top 2 Dragon mastery blocks. Now playing on any Saga map doesn't earn any experience.

Until this changes, I won't be wasting time there. The DRM content doesn't give any rewards for the 30 min of trash mobs. Then spending time on the final boss for no experience doesn't seem like a good use of time.

It's not SnowCrows. It's the MMO mentality from people who don't like the exploration offered in RPG games. I've played RPGs for longer than the new players have been alive.

Part of the FUN is exploration, learning, and testing while enjoying the journey while not opening a game guide unless you get completely stuck. There are many flavors for many people. I've stayed with GW2 because of their imposed game philosophy. I hope they don't lower the bar any further and don't change their style.

same as above 1 crystal with pebbles using a level 80 tool.

I have a GTX960, i3-3770, 32GB RAM running Win7 and I wear a Vermillion back. There is no FPS change on any map wearing it or not.

We've seen certain video cards have issues with some graphics combinations in the past. I think someone should organize the complaints and look for a commonality.

When you have 14 stacks as I do, you probably have plenty of gold.

1) Someday if I need gold I may sell some

2) Someday I hope they add a broad range of new recipes to actually use mats to build something cool.

I've made it to the end-game and enjoy the game on 1 main account and 2 previously F2P accounts that each had about 400g before I converted them. I bought ZERO outfits and skins. It's easy to do. No one can see what you wear while being active in the game and it gives no advantage.

As said before, if you are low on cash IRL, don't spend it here and have fun.

> Remind yourself of the gear progression system in this game, please.

Remind yourself, there is no gem store based gear progression in this game. Exotic is plenty for open PvE. Ascended IS needed for upper-tier Fractals and easy to craft. Legendary gear is more decorative (in some cases) but primarily only offers stat swapping at no cost and is earned by participating in top tier content and investing time after you have the personal skill.

Like any good RPG, you earn it by playing the game, not putting down $$$.

I think it could be on hold so that fresh steam players have to buy season 5 to get any of season 5. That's still a wise choice.

EDIT: I agree with the others, I rarely see lag. Remember if you are using a lower tier ISP package, Discord, Facebook and others consume a HUGE amount of the limited UP channel for network communication. That will also give you terrible lag, drop-outs, and disconnects.

Should be somewhere where we can get the glowing weapons shown on the Steam preview before they get here.

I suspect the next Chapter(s) will only be soloable Stikes - I sure hope not.

> You could text it to yourself. You could save it as a phone contact. You could have a file on Google Drive with passwords to sites you use. There are a bunch of ways to store your password in such a way that you get access to it later on that would keep it secure.

I put all of mine in a simple .txt file in the game folder. I've never lost it yet.

If the settings button and or more separation were between the compact and deposit, sure.

The MAIN point was that it was already an option.

> You guys don't use invisible bags for the stuff you want to manage? Why?

Because not all managed things are stacked horizontally, sometimes vertical is VERY useful.

Because you CAN'T sell from invisible bag
