First findings of the blurry partial chat code they've shown (and the smaller one in the video) It looks like the hide/show skin check boxes are stored in 2 bytes of data. No use trying to cross reference the other numbers yet because ID's are different between clients

The "get equipped fashion" will cost charges if you store everything to it so it is best to keep a completely empty "swap" template if you just want to adjust a single equipped item (clearing a template will always be free)

It would've maybe been better to release the fashion template video and post after tomorrow's stream because a lot of people are confused on how it works 😅 They didn't really make it clear that the skins are applied to your gear (and not just the fashion templates)

Looks like it's fixed!

Uh oh .. the past 4 years we've been getting armor skins based on the celestial beings.. I don't know if I'm ready for potential Umasuras

Hi @guildwars2.com just letting you know twitch account linking is broken on the site right now

Oh they got updated! Soon™️ ?

Looks like the trademark application for "gw2" was approved at the end of last year. Which causes a weird situation where loads of fan sites are technically in a weird gray zone with their (domain) names now I guess? tsdr.uspto.gov#caseNumber=9...

*cough*

big fan of the new inquest skins

With two weeks left there's still no word on how fashion templates are going to work in #GuildWars2 , judging by the information they did provide it's possible they're encoding them similarly to statues in your homestead: 28 bytes for the skins and 112 bytes for the dye channels

Today's mining post is up thanks to Riddle-of-the-Waves taking over for me this week www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2...

I pressed a button, back to sleep 😴 thatshaman.com/tools/gemsto...

Hints.gif! 😬 Thanks Kiki

Surgery was a success but I will definitely be out of the running for a while. Thank you all for all the well wishes earlier 😌

Weird bugs are weird: I noticed on my alt account that for some reason doing a single Enhanced Barrel Roll on a skimmer enables Ley-Line Riding even if you don't have the mastery unlocked yet The only way to get rid of it is to dismount and don't use the barrel roll skill again

I need some surgery next week so I'm not expecting I'm going to do the mining post next Tuesday, do it yourself for once 😬

Happy New Year to you all! #2026 #guildwars2

Merry Christmas from your favorite #GuildWars2 red flags! (and me) 🎄

Hey @guildwars2.com just saying but your hamburger menu on the site has been broken for a while now making it impossible to navigate to subsections on mobile devices

You're not supposed to be able to turn the camera on the prophecies select screen but if you rotate it on any other expansion and change it back while you're still on character select it will keep the previous rotation 😅

It's been 10,000 years since I've last seen these in #GuildWars wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Feedbac...

Grumpy Grinch mode activated: One 20-Slot Large Wintersday Gift bag costs as much as two 24-Slot Orichalcum Lockers or SEVEN 20-Slot Halloween Pails End grumpy rant.

It's only gotten slightly worse this year just under 250g at the moment! So at least it's relatively stable? ... ❄️ ⛄

This one has been taking a while but so did the 🦀. Another marker for science: 🧺, 🍿, 🗡️, 4 × cuteness overload

Don't be like me: 1. Do the new player event for a free skin 2. Talk to the mist stranger for my reward 3. Mindlessly click through the conversation options to get the box 4. Realize the box only contains skins for the profession you accept it on 5. Already have all the Necromancer skins...

Wait.. wrong game 😅

Wintersday done, time to go on a ski vacation!

Today's wintersday post is up thatshaman.com/post/2025/12...

Guess I'll watch the replay the next day because that's deep in the night in EU 😅

Now I feel sorry for Sareb that I completed the event before he got a chance to tell me all about it 😅

Here's another example in Spamadan with everything maxed out at 4K on a RTX4070. DX9 is clearly the bottleneck with the new bloom and SSAO shaders. So if you're not running something like Reshade (you could probably use the vulkan version) or TexMod you're likely better off using DXVK

If you're encountering FPS loss in Guild Wars Reforged I would recommend giving DXVK a try. 1. Download dxvk-x.xx.tar.gz from github.com/doitsujin/dx... 2. Extract d3d9.dll from the x32 folder into your installation folder 3. Profit? For example Spamadan Region 1 on a basic GPU:

🤔 I noticed Guild Wars Reforged has some OpenGL ES 3.0 engine code and mention of mobile UI elements. Maybe they're trying to figure out if it's feasible to port it to mobile platforms in the future as well?

The DPI scaling in #guildwars reforged looks fantastic but it's also bugged 😅 it somehow also affects the mouse rotation speed of your camera (making it waaaaay slower the higher you set your DPI has been set) I'm playing at 150% and even with the camera slider set to max it's "bearable" at best

Here we go! #GuildWars #Reforged is out

Actually crazy to think it's still getting updates after more than 20 years but I've been playing #GuildWars since it launched back in the day so I'm looking forward to the quality of life updates #reforged will bring tomorrow!

Looking at how #WoW is implementing its housing system I'm slightly jealous at the ability to preview decorations. Can we please have this as well?

Got the crab dance emote. Got the endless tropical crab tonic. Can't dance as a crab. Sadness 🦀

I was slightly annoyed they placed those soldiers you need to heal at the Shimmering Basin heart inside those tiny tents. My skimmer doesn't fit in there so I just kept hugging the walls spamming the 1 skill.. Today I learned you can just shoot them with the number 3 skill. I'm a doofus.

/excited ...

Did you know you can consume a chromatic sap to gain 5 aether-rich sap which you can use to buy a chromatic sap that you can consume for 5 aether-rich sap allowing you to buy a chro... Basically both VoE maps only have a single currency that's split between your bank and wallet

🤔 I noticed that there aren't many Sylvari castaways on Castora and with that information I can conclude most of them are being mistaken for driftwood by the magic surrounding the continent and just float back home

If I have to guess the Gnashblade "birthday" event will probably start next Tuesday and run for a whole week and there's going to be more to it than last year

You can buy the Homestead Racetrack Start Bundle from the race vendor which automatically adds 5 of each race track decorations to your homestead storage (holographic are excluded) It's only 25 tokens cheaper than crafting these yourself but you save a lot of gold on other required materials

The Black Lion Trading Company in Lion's Arch recently got updated (it has a lot more NPC's) and they sealed the unused Asura gate behind a metal door
