Guild Wars 2 Khan-Ur
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 π They didn't really make it clear that the skins are applied to your gear (and not just the fashion templates)

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?

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

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

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...

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:

π€ 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 π 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

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.

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
