Guild Wars 2 Hotfix Notes

In addition to bug fixes, we've also nerfed the Iron Legion. Kindleshot's latest project at the Black Citadel has pushed the other High Legions out of the meta, so we've reduced the number of Imperator's Cores from 2 to 1.

Combo Fields & Finishers In @guildwars2 If you want to play as a team you need to understand combo fields, and how to utilize them, this carries over into all game modes! Like in WvW, stealthing your team with a Smoke field with a Blast finisher Test out all types of combo's and see what you can do!

GW2EoD "What Lies Beneath" Spoiler below!

I guess that ley-line poisoning during lws3 came back and bit the Commander right in the ass, huh?

Honestly, I'm loving this episode so far. It really got to me

i also dont think i ever uploaded this gif of aurene in EOD? my babygirl :)

Once more, I return to what I thought was going to be an art blog with a video. This time, it's about everyone's favorite elite spec that has robot friend who's fun to be with.

Heavy spoilers: Dragonvoid Thoughts

Skip this if you haven’t beat EoD campaign yet and don’t have an idea what Dragonvoid is. I’ve just been mulling over some stuff since I beat the main campaign, and it’s raised a bunch of questions for me. Ones I don’t think I’ll ever get answered because, frankly, in terms of the game, they just don’t matter. But it matters to me from a world-building point of view. So... The idea of Dragonvoid is that pre-everything, the universe Tyria is in was essentially Void. Like, unshaped, uncontrolled matter/mass/magic, coiling itself and warping itself infinitely in a big chaotic sea of un-reality. Reminds me of the Warp. Anyway, somehow, some way, Soo-Won either ended up there, or pulled herself from the quagmire of Un-everything, and decided she didn’t like it and started to try and tame the Void. But she couldn’t handle it on her own, and so she ended up creating the other Elder Dragons we know and love/hate/fear. Between the lot of them, they pushed back/undid the Void, and laid the groundwork for stability for Tyria, so that rocks stopped floating, stuff could maintain static shapes, and all that jazz. Shit stopped exploding randomly. And at the end of the campaign, we get a hint at what things would be like if their bulwark failed. We see the world coming apart at the seams on a global scale. But this is where things get tricky and my questions come up. How far does this extend? Tyria is a single world in a universe. It’s a planet, with a sun, a moon, and if you squint at the Divinity’s Reach orrey carefully, and consider some of the constellation information from the Astralarium in Istan.... it’s not the ONLY thing in that universe. There’s stars. Constellations. The Moon. Other worlds (since those ???? psychic Mushrooms in the eerie low-grav area of Jahai Bluffs had to be ripped from somewhere alien). All stuff existing in one plane of universe, including a little blue ball called Tyria. And then there’s things like the Mists, which are side-dimensions off of Tyria’s plane of existence, which encompass things like the Mad Realm, the Godrealms, the literal Afterlife, and a few other horrific places no one likes to talk about, as well as a kind of Bleed area between dimensional universes where Alternate Tyrias fight and invade each other for continual dominance, while the locals that exist there just try to live their lives while these warmongers keep appearing and disappearing. And I’m not even gonna speculate on Fractals; they make my brain hurt too much. I just wonder... what if the Elder Dragon balance ONLY applied to Tyria-the-planet. If Tyria had fallen to Void and fallen apart/disintegrated/discombobulated/Eaten by the Warp, would that apply to ONLY that one Tyria, out of the multiversal ones in the Mists? Would the Mists themselves collapse? Or would both of those continue on unabated, barely recognizing or noticing that a particular Tyria just blipped out of existence? Would the Godrealms collapse? Or are they separate from the damage of Void, because they are in that between-worlds-realm of the Mists, island-universes in their own sea of island-universes? On a more pragmatic note, within strictly the Tyrian universe... would the Void effect expand outward, instantly, to all corners of the universe, affecting worlds that never knew the Elder Dragons, never knew the struggles in Tyria, etc? Would the neighboring worlds in the solar system suddenly experience destabilizing, or notice all the prior times when ‘Magic went fucky’ when we killed an ED? Or is the damage JUST bound to Tyria itself? Would an inhabitant of a nearby world notice a spike in odd energy, turn a telescope or satellite to track it, and see a world shrouded in distortion before it all dispersed? Or would they be wondering why reality on their world, so many billions of miles away, suddenly started coming apart like a wool sweater? Where does the influence of the ED end? I’m thinking it’s strictly planet-based, because if Tyria was one world ensnared like a bug in a spider web of galactic ley filaments that moved magical energy around...the ED would never have starved or been forced to share ‘just’ the magic that exists on Tyria. I’m thinking that, had the Void won.... yes, Tyria would have been utterly undone.... But only Tyria. And out of all the Mist multiverse Tyrias, who are all at different states of different eras of different times, both current and past and everything in between... only that one would have popped out of existence. And if Tyria is like, say, the third planet in its solar system, but there’s someone living on the 4th world or 2nd world, and was watching through a good telescope... they might just have wondered WTF was going on with the 3rd planet. Which leads to another question for another time.

Finally got round to finishing this wip of mine- Faren in Arborstone!

Greetings, Guild Wars 2 community!

Following our previous summer roadmap, we’d like to give you a high-level look at our plans for Guild Wars 2 for the remainder of the year.

Harbinger Trahearne

Painted this earlier this week after the initial necro elite for the next expansion was teased a while back!

The idea was a hypothetical Trahearne who survived the battle with Mordremoth and was cleansed of dragon corruption, but who is left with a few physical disfigurements/scars after being "blighted.”

Funnily enough, the day after I finished this one, the elite spec for necro was revealed to be “Harbinger,” which introduces some type of new “blight” mechanic!

Ah, if only Trahearne was still with us, he would be too perfect of a match for the new spec!

Went back to Kaineng's Ministry Ward waypoint after doing the new episode and boy howdy I wasn't prepared for that lol

@the-serpent

This time I reimagined my Tengu Swordsman drawing from 6 years ago. He's clearly not the same person, but it was just as much of a challenge as the old one back then👺🗡️

Which one do you like more, and why?
