I have been testing the new consumable Bird's Eye Compass to see just how much additional portions of the map can be explored like this.

I tested this in EOTN, because map exploration can easily be quantified, as each 1% of the map corresponds to 1 Master of the North title point. I'm now at 1,056 Master of the North points, meaning that that at least 126% of the EOTN map can be explored now (Prior to the update it was at 1,034, or 4% extra). I have gone through every area and most SAO chains that I know of, including some new ones into outposts (Rata Sum, Boreal Station, Gadd's, etc.) that will yield extra points, as the item can only be used in explorable areas (why, actually?). This means that it's theoretically possible to get the max title without completing a single mission in NM haha.

There are some areas that I was not able to explore due to a bug that instantly disconnects me without possibility to reconnect. After logging in again, every portion of additional map explored during that instance resets. This bug can be replicated consistently and I have observed this in three locations: the northern parts of both Riven Earth and Arbor Bay, and the North-eastern part of Sparkfly swamp (after SAO-chain jumping). My theory is that this occurs when the EOTN and Prophecies maps overlap / are too close.

Curious to hear how you have been using the new item so far!

TO HIS MAJESTY KING ADELBERN OF ASCALON

THE HUMBLE PETITION OF THE MERCHANTS GUILD OF ASCALON, RESPECTFULLY APPEALING FOR A REQUISITION.

WHEREAS, Our kingdom overflows with wealth, won through the bravery of heroes;

AND WHEREAS, We press our forces against the Charr, delving deep into the caverns for what lies beneath;

AND WHEREAS, Our adventurers require a merchant able to accommodate such heroes, brave enough to venture forth to a new military hold in PIKEN SQUARE;

THEREFORE, We petition for the requisition and support to establish a designated Merchantry within Piken Square for the public good and the triumph of Ascalon.

WITH THE SUPPORT AND ENDORSEMENT OF PRINCE RURIK, ensuring the KING'S SUPPORT.

Figured I'd share this non-sense build that somehow worked. My rules for this character is play through Prop only, completing everything in HM using only skills from Tyria and one hero of each profession. So I did all NM missions + some HM missions/vq's with me, a warrior, monk, ele, mes and ranger. I kinda am doing my own rules aligned with the MA philosophy, allowing skills on heroes after they're unlocked my area, including elites which I had to cap. Anyhow, here's this nonsense. Warrior w/ SR wep. What's unreal is the dmg from Soul Taker, we died several times, but hell it worked. I don't use cons, but for aesthetic purposes I did jump to Elona to grab the sunspear armor chest.

I've been entertaining using tomes that drop, not purchased, to allow myself skills from other campaigns.

The last two of my Scoundrel's Rise and Witman's Folly VQ's.

I don't remember there being a spirit beside the statue of Dwayna, was it added to the game recently?

As the title suggests, I am replaying Gw on mobile since reforged came out, I never played monk before but I always wanted to try the smite part of this profession. I wanted to know if this was a viable path and if it had any value against other dps options and other classes. I am not playing "hard" content yet but may do so in the future, so I don't want to lock myself with an unviable class. I am not that interested in prot and healing monk as I find it difficult to manage on my phone (especially the targeting part). Thank you !

• We have enabled "Login from Steam" on mobile devices. Woo hoo!

• 2 new 'beta' consumables that drop during normal play:

  • Stalker’s Ration - Using Stalker’s Ration causes pings to appear at enemy locations close to compass range, helping folks that are running Vanquishes to more easily locate their prey and finish them off.
  • Bird’s Eye Compass - Using Bird’s Eye Compass increases map reveal range and pings nearby locations that have where more map can be revealed.
  • Both of these items are in ‘beta’ and we are looking for feedback from players regarding how helpful they are for their respective title tracks.

• Bug fixes

  • Fixed a common crash when reconnecting and reauthenticating
  • Improved error messages related to in-app purchases on mobile platforms
  • Fixed a bug where players with ad-supported Prophecies accounts were unable to play other campaigns purchased on PC
  • Fixed a bug where mobile ad-supported accounts weren't able to access Fissure of Woe or The Underworld
  • Fixed a bug that caused a disconnect when interacting with hero equipment in the mobile inventory UI
  • Fixed the PvP variant of Mighty Throw showing up on Priest of Balthazar

edit:

Hot fixes

• Fixed a mobile HUD crash when viewing the Unclaimed Items and Xunlai Storage inventories.
• Oops
  • In our excitement to get the Steam login update available on mobile a couple of content updates snuck out a bit ahead of the update currently planned for next week. We are keeping in the new title support item drops, but they will not have translated text until next week.
  • We had also added some new drops to the Underworld chest that are now turned off until next week’s content update build. When that build goes live, these will be added back and you’ll have some fun new minis and unique items to hunt down.

First time through the game, I want to leave pre searing and start the game but I feel stuck. I've tried everything, I have the flute from the shop in my inventory, the red cape, i've given her a ton of flowers, I've tried only having 3 flowers in my inventory when I gave them, I get nothing other than her trying to follow me. Is that big of a deal if I just move on?

It just says Stopping until I ctrl alt delete it.

I am one cool guy looking for other cool guys who wanna hang out in your party guild hall. Nothing luxon. Dudes in good shape encouraged, if you're luxon you should be able to find humor in the little things. Again, NOTHING LUXON. LF Guild

I just got this drop, anyone knows what it is and when it got added? I have never seen this before.

Dropped from a Kournan Bowman during the Venta Cemetery mission

I made it to beacons perch, but seems dead there. I have a factions ranger and wanted to get the prophecies max armour but having a hard time running myself there...

When they added the daily quests, the people who death leveled were very upset. If Reforged and the Forsaken tunnels released ten years ago, people would riot. Today, I think we're all just happy the game is ​getting love - and I hope it continues to long after Guild Wars 3 is released.

Side note: I'm working on LDoA currently and I noticed how strong the basic bone minion skill was. I was shocked that I never paid any attention to it. It took me a few days to realize that it got updated last month. It costs 5 energy (instead of 10) and has a 1 second (instead of 3) cast time. It's very spammable and opens up some cool minion possibilities beyond a dedicated minion master. Even a warrior can spam it pretty easily.​

Greetings and salutations! Been doing some EotN dungeons this week on PC and ran into something I need a sanity check on while in Frostmaw’s:

Several of the party (including me, alas) were instakilled on level 3 by an ice boulder. I sat patiently, waiting for my paragon hero to cast her “We Shall Return!” - but she just stood there. I’ve seen her cast it before, so I wiggle her around with the hero flags thinking it might be a terrain/positioning thing, but no dice. I toggle the skill manually but she will not cast it. Casts multiple other skills idly atop our 4 dead bodies, unbothered, energy at max.

I go in again, thinking maybe it was a bug. Die early in to test it. My usual fun, star hero is again standing on my body with max energy, on strike from doing her job, not listening to my direct command to use the skill.

I’ve seen her independently cast this recently. Is there a known bug or am I doing something wrong that I’m unaware of? I swear I saw her use other shouts in the dungeon but maybe there’s an anti-shout effect here that I’m not aware of? Are you experiencing any sudden paragon hero quiet quitting? ie. is this actually something worthy of a bug report?

Thanks!

Apparently a stealth fix, patch notes on iOS just said “bug fixes.”

Super pumped!!!!!

I'm at 95% for Tyria and Cantha Carto and since I mostly played on Steamdeck I wanted to wait for the final 5% until I can get toolbox running.

Now that the Birdseye compass is a thing I wanted to ask what would be the most efficient areas to use it to get those last 5%?

Initial thoughts would be perdition rock and raisu palace

EDIT:

you can put in a hero and switch in the panel view in between hero and you. that will resolve the bug for as long as you are in that instance. next map change you have to do it again

Dhuum mode has made me fall in love with GW1 again. Hope we can get 25 more titles before I lose the badge!

Just started EOTN. I feel like this and starting hard modes are really when it’s going to become scary. Any suggestions/tips on tackling what’s ahead?

Since Guild Wars Reforged launched, I’m not sure if it’s because NC Taiwan no longer supports Guild Wars, but it seems that Traditional Chinese is effectively no longer supported—even though the option still appears in the language settings.

Ever since the Winds of Change update, all new text—missions, dialogue, UI options, NPC names, item names—is no longer in Traditional Chinese. Instead, the text isn’t even proper English. A lot of lines are literally just “TEMP”, making the content unreadable.

Even all new and old content is properly translated in Korean.

At the very least, I hope the “TEMP” placeholders can be replaced with proper English, so the game is playable in Traditional Chinese.

Of course, having full Traditional Chinese support again would be ideal.

Thanks.

Hello everyone, I’ve just recently started my VQing journey using mesway (6 mesmers and 1 ST). I’m kinda finding difficulty clearing some of the harder content (i.e. desolation) an alliance member suggested to just pay someone to run those while I afk, how exactly is that possible that you can with just 6 players (1 human and 5 heroes) as he said they can afk 2 people at a time..

Not able to log in to this particular character after finishing a mission, I couldn’t even thank the random guy who decided to help me. Please fix this the character was my main UPDATE - it got fixed
