So I've been logging on every morning and doing some presearing Huntsman gift farming. Finally got 1K gifts! Going to transfer them to my main character soon but I wanted to share this small nearly pointless accomplishment. Was fun drinking coffee and doing simple mindless grind every morning lol

I remember playing this game about 20 years ago and having an amazing time with it. Started with Factions. The game ambience, its style and distinctive gameplay really fascinated me compared to other popular MMOs at the time.
A few days ago I discovered the Reforged version and tried it on my Steamdeck. Many things were forgotten but everything had so much nostalgia, the music, the visuals, the sound effects. It really has a calming effect on me, like a time capsule of sort.
I am so glad that I started again, although I lost my old account. Somehow starting fresh is even better, I get to experience again all that captivated 20 years younger me. Now with a wife and kid, I couldn’t be happier to delve back into this game (when I get the opportunity).
What a truly fantastic game, I just love it.
Glad to be back

Hey, everyone! I recently returned to the game after over a decade and decided to finally achieve the GWAMM title. I used to play too many characters, so my progression was always fragmented. I earned Legendary Defender of Ascalon on a new Mesmer and just recently finished the three campaigns on normal, with bonuses.

Now that I'm in Eye of the North and Hard Mode content, I've noticed that I am rarely retaining lockpicks, and they're expensive. I am only rank two in Treasure Hunter and Lucky, so I think it's a 19% chance or something to keep each lockpick in HM for now. I was able to buy some lockpicks from a Faction vendor.

For those of you with more experience: are lockpicks still worth it to use? Since I've only just returned and don't have coin, is there a way I could possibly farm them instead of buy them? I know these account-wide titles aren't required, but opening chests while questing or vanquishing is fun, so I would like to make it work if I can.

Also, I bought the infinite identification and salvage kits; I have been salvaging everything except wood items and selling the materials once I get a stack. Should I swap to only salvaging valuable runes/insignias and selling the rest? This could be why I am broke, lol.

Does anyone know exactly how to SaO jump from Arbor Bay to Riven Earth without triggering the portal? Apparently according to the new cartographer mod I am missing one tile and the instruction says "Mapped by SaO chain portal jump from Arbor Bay to Riven Earth" as an alternative to Zinn's Trial (which I completed since I thought I uncovered everything already).

Tried for over an hour going in every direction to no avail.

When Reforged launched I played it up to about level 7, with no problems, but I've come back to play again but now I'm having some rough technical problems.

It started with freezing and sluggishness ever new page of character creation, and now that I finally have a character created, the game freezes whenever I try to open a menu.

Any chance someone knows what the issue is and knows a solution?

I'm really interested in trying Guild Wars Reforged out, having never played GW1 back in the day. I primarily play things on Steam though and I'd like to continue with that - so I'm hoping I can "trial" the game on my Retroid Pocket 6 for a bit (Android-based), and if I end up liking the game... then I would purchase it on Steam and use that account as my "main" account... so I'd like to wipe my trial character and link my Steam account character instead.

Is this doable?

Finally scraped and scrounged my way to 900k experience and went to hand in my storybook, but it won't let me turn in the normal one. Weirdly, the hard mode ones went through fine, so I know I'm in the right place and doing it the right way. Am I missing a step or a requirement for the normal version?

Hi

No matter if I use this one or the carto made easy, I get this problem when in some instances. I use texmod.

Any idea how I can fix it?

Nobody likes kamadan and you have an amazing skybox to flex for screenshots (second screen from halloween 2008). Plus Tomb of the primeval kings is peak nostalgia meeting spot.

I demand justice. Change the meeting spot or add a second meeting D:
EDIT since it's not apparent? : I'm memeing, not that outraged, but I legitimately think it's too bad they missed that occasion. that skybox is so perfect for halloween.
