Just made some new gifs, batch uploaded them to the usual platforms and there always has to be one that gets stuck in review 🫠

I've only used /wiki et about 20 times this week forgetting the wiki is down for maintenance. I'm not a smart cub.

Site is back up! (until the next exploit happens)

Ouch, the #GuildWars2 Wiki is down and so is their Event Timer. But what is this?! There are other Event Timers?! 👀 gw2.ninja/timer

The #GuildWars2 wiki is probably going to be down for quite some time (it needs to be upgraded in order to work with the fixed php version) A temporary workaround suggested by Tanetris: web.archive.org/web/20260929...

Still waiting for my host to update from php 8.5.11 to 8.5.12. Stay tuned.

I've taken my offline until further notice because of that stupid PHP exploit that's happening right now 😅

It's October so of course Anet has been adding new SAB models to the client.. 🤨 Nothing ground breaking but weird to see this so many months in advance

There's only one tiny big issue with this new shadow slider is that it is currently bugged and automatically resets to its default value on map load..

Just got this Guild Wars 2 email about Guild Wars 2 informing me Guild Wars 2 has more Guild Wars 2 in Guild Wars 2 now 😵‍💫

Looks like #GuildWars2 season 2 is free for F2P accounts now as well! (not just core and higher accounts)

Halloween starts in #GuildWars2 tomorrow and somehow one of my favorite things about it is dressing up my characters for the occasion

For those interested you can find new API map tiles for Leyspring Hollows on my site

Now that the dismount event is over: the "do 3 events without a mount" stack didn't go away after daily reset so you could just park an alt with the buff at a jumping puzzle and grab 2 mystic coins with the press of a button each day

The dismounting potion functions exactly like the no mount zones you get around jumping puzzles This means you also can't use medizookas, chairs or spawn your homestead door when you have one activated

And the door is fine, if it was it would've instantly crashed the map or client

Not sure what keeps kicking everybody out of #GuildWars2 , the only thing I see is an authentication server issue (but that can also be triggered from the disconnect itself)

I discovered that you can put a red circle and have a red arrow pointing to an asura and it looks like you have something interesting to say!! That said, Asura are nice.

Maybe somebody with access to the Chinese GW2 client could fill me in on this. But I assume the hall of monuments was never implemented (afaik the Chinese GW1 server got shut down in 2008) and judging by some data from the latest patch it looks like they're looking at a way to implement it (?)

Looks like they fixed the Exuberant Accessories Package and they didn't roll back the Armor Package unlocks (early birds got a lucky 50% discount on both)

The Rift Tears mastery is really nice if you have it but an absolute pain if you don't.. Did some rifts on my alt account for the weekly and kept missing pre-events because the teleporting people could do these faster than I could travel to them..

All it is missing was a tunnel update and dragons kissing, other than that I'm quite satisfied with the final VoE update

You can break back into the story instance where you enter Leyspring Hollows. It's completely empty in the open world map so you can freely explore but that also means you have to bring your own torch to see anything at all

Such a bittersweet moment when Vloxx turned down the commander's proposal and marries Isgarren instead 😔 (I might have mixed up a thing or two)

I knew the Inquest doesn't play fair but their snake game keeps breaking on me...

Okay that additional 25 second overcharge timer in addition to the "wait for the boss to arrive timer" for rifts is really unnecessary and annoying. They should just combine these..

The new map has some cool locations out of bounds 😬

The Additional Requisition Team Contract adds 1 extra option to your board, not an entire new board (that would be nice but probably a bit too over powered)
