Note that I pulled my post to the source instance by searching for it from there, but updates/edits are still not federated. This post also has a reply from a lemmy.zip user which hasn't been federated to lemmy.world yet.

The lemmy.world bubble is back (lemmy.world)

For the past days I've noticed that posts/comments I make on my lemmy.world account are not (or rather very slowly, if ever) federated to the source instance of the community and post/comments that are on the source are not (or rather very slowly, if ever) federated to the local copy on lemmy.world.

The result is again (as it was before 0.18.1) that lemmy.world users are living in a bubble in which they see each othery posts/comments but nobody else does.

Is this a known issues and is this going to be addressed?

(Weekly) Four Winds Festivities - Sun-Grown Weapon Skins (wiki.guildwars2.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by necropola@lemmy.world to c/guildwars2@lemmy.wtf

How much time does ArenaNet expect us to spend on Festival Activities in a week? This year's main incentive are probably the additional Sun-Grown Weapon (Skins).

I finished (Annual) For Winds Customs for the first skin at around 100/200 of the weekly progress after about 4 days of doing little more than completing the festival dailies. From there on it gets pretty tedious to get more skins, but you can only get 1 annual + 3 (or 4, ouch!) weekly chests anyway this year. Then why make it so time-consuming (and boring) to get them?

I'm going to get a few (probably 3, e. g. Longbow, Greatsword and Hammer) for my Ranger to complement the look of his Back item.

So, how many skins are you planning to get this year?

Even more single player content?

And here is MightyTeapot's video of the fight/kill for comparison. We all love playing circus horse simulator, right? And maybe the Axe Skin (reward) is just a placeholder.

I think when you have unlocked the Skyscale and/or the Griffon before and combine this with the SotO Masteries you get extra benefits like mounted ley line gliding.

I've watched roughly half of the guides and I'd say they are a bit too much for a new player and actual experts will probably know most of the stuff being said ....

... but for a Casual Guild Wars Veteran like me they really hit the spot. There are still so many builds and parts/aspects of the game I haven't tried that I immeditely felt the itch again.

What a great game was and still is Guild Wars 1

why is the subreddit still so popular ? by necropola in c/guildwars2@lemmy.wtf

To me it seems that the Community here is growing slowly but steadily and so far it appears to be a much more friendly place than I remember r/guildwars2 to be.

Updates to the Specter and Scourge builds postponed after the July 18th patch for obvious reasons.

Luckily or sadly (depending on how you see it) most cosmetic armor from the gem store are outfits and not separate pieces which can be mixed and matched. None of my 18 characters is wearing an outfit and none wears a complete set of a particular armor.

Anet will stop using twitter for announcements by necropola in c/guildwars2@lemmy.wtf
[-] necropola@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You may be right there. On the other hand splitting the Twitter user base between two commercial platforms is probably still better than everyone being on Twitter.

I'm beginning to wonder, if Threads is actually going to connect to the Fediverse or rather which kind of evil restrictions Meta is planning to apply. I mean, if people who are using Mastodon could follow and interact with their friends and celebrities on Threads, there would be no reason at all to have an Instagram account and/or to use any of Zuckerberg's intrusive apps.

My guess is that Meta/Threads will only allow their users to access and interact with Federated content but not the other way which will most likely lead to most Mastodon instances deferating from Meta at once.

Looking forward to having a lot of popcorn 🍿 ...

Hey all, Metabattle has put the finishing touches on our guide to the new fractal:

As usual, we've tried to pack in as much detail as possible, and it joins our ever-growing guides sections that now cover PvE, PvP and WvW!

The guide will also be updated to include CM mechanics when that arrives.

I have to go through the "forgot password" procedure everrytime I'm relogging, i. e. after deleting the lemmy.world site data in my browser.

I can use (enter and verify) the same password without problems, but a normal login is curently not possible.

Update: I was able to login now. Did not change anything on my side. It just suddenly worked. Fingers crossed.

[-] necropola@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Power Reaper is almost ridiculously strong in Open World. I still think Necromancers kinda earned the right to have such a strong build. I played a Necromancer "Main" (I'm an Altoholic) from launch and I still remember the days when Necromancers where kicked from Dungeon Groups, because they were considered to be dead weight.

I'd suggest to (ab)use playlists for the GW2 Original Sound Tracks (OST) on YouTube and listen/skip your way through it, until you find what you want. Here are 2 (+1) playlists to get you started:

Note: There are places in GW2 where the game actually plays music from GW1

Since Scourge is one of the Elite Specializations I played and enjoyed quite a bit without having access to Alacrity ....
