Confessions of a Guild Wars Noob @newtogw2 - Tumblr Blog | Tumlook (2024)

Stay outta my cabbages!

Y'ALL! If you have not done your new SotO mastery, GET. ON. THAT! There's all kinds of advantages to it, especially a new currency exchange NPC. Oh. My. GOD. Y'ALL!

Get it, then go see Gharr Leadclaw in Outer Ring in Wizard's Tower (near jade bot). If you're crafting anything, or need any kind of any currency, you need to see this cat. Pronto!

Also, grab one of these: Portable Wizard's Tower Exchange.

Interesting take on this new feature. I've barely had time to play myself, but am hoping to get a few more hours in this coming weekend!

Dear ArenaNet

Could I please have ANYTHING except this for a daily? It seems like this is a daily once a week or more now. I HATE this place. I REFUSE TO DO IT. I have all expansions, so please PLEASE for the love of all that is unholy, GIVE ME ANOTHER FREAKING MINIDUNGEON.

Wintersday

Sorry I haven't posted in a bit. Real life is kicking my ass hard core with health and mental issues. Plus with my work schedule being all over the place, I mostly only play on weekends now. (spoons allowing, ofc)

So if you have not already seen, Wintersday is upon us once again!

GuildJen has an updated guide out: https://guildjen.com/wintersday-festival-achievements-guide/

And don’t forget to grab your Snargle book! https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/The_Goldclaw_Holiday_Collection

These tips are still recommended! https://newtogw2.tumblr.com/post/637851178241294336/wintersday-tip

Skyscale Medicine Masker

OK so this is part of the A New Look achievement.

BUT! The description is a little misleading. Apparently only champs count towards this. Dunno if that's intended or not, but that's where we are right now. I put together a short list of links where champ worms spawn outside of the two world bosses: Jungle Worm and Triple Trouble.

Just copy and paste this list into chat:

[&BOkAAAA=]NW, [&BFsCAAA=]NW, [&BNkAAAA=]S, [&BAECAAA=]NW, [&BH8CAAA=]NE

Each includes the general direction of the champ spawn, and they're all pretty close to their respective waypoints. Hope this helps!

Renown Heart Daily

If I may offer some unsolicited advice: When there's a Renown Heart daily for PVE in the Wizard's Vault, and if you have the End of Dragons expansion, go do the Training Grounds heart in Seitung Province.

You'll gain a nice XP buff upon completion and can then buy an additional XP buff on top of that!

These are two separate buffs. Very handy when you're trying to level up those SotO masteries! :)

Dear Zojja,

You are not alone. ♥

:/

I gotta admit, I'm profusely underwhelmed by the new relic system. All of my faves are either absent or changed completely to something less (or not at all) useful.

I'm still working my way through the new story and am enjoying that at least. I'm not exactly thrilled with the new wizard vault either but then again I was one of those who did PVE dailies first, then went on to do WvW dailies as time allowed so I could get rewards for both. Plus, that daily 2 gold helped.

This game is therapy, so I do what little I can with the time I have. So I'm grumpy cuz stuff is different. Doesn't mean I'm wrong, does it?

Excited squeeing noises

It’s comiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnngggggggggggg!!!!!

I decided to re-do my mesmer. Meet “My Mistah Jay” :)

Bwahahaha

WvW LOLs

Someone commented on my choice of builds ... honestly heal scourge is my go-to in zerg WvW. I pull downs back, lay down marks, yoink enemies, and heal, buff, and shield allies around me. EZPZ bag delivery. :3

And this one after I’d claimed a camp for +5 supplies.

*excited squeaking noises!*

Welcome to my rant ...

So a couple of weeks ago I joined a self-proclaimed “chill” WvW guild. I was told multiple times that I could run whatever build I wanted. I’ve been running my Healionmancer build lately with full minions for sh*ts and giggles. Hilarity always ensues, just the way I like it!

But today, not so much ...

Just before being downed, I apparently had pulled folks to me. Not intentionally, just sometimes happens when I dodge roll randomly. I die, rez up, and run back. Then it’s typed out in squad chat “necros do not run that trait.” I also heard it said in Discord “no Transference!”. Now, I usually use that to pull downed folks back to me because I tend to stay towards the back of the zerg, and 9 times out of 10 can pull ‘em to safety and rez ‘em quickly.

The one time it backfires on me someone gets a bug up their butt ... But yeah .... they’re totally chill. Don’t care what I run, as long as it’s not something they don’t like apparently.

So I dropped out of squad. Left voice chat. Dropped from the Discord server. Then left guild.

The last few months have been a rollercoaster for me personally. I was laid off at Thanksgiving. Spent Christmas broke and alone. Started a new job recently, which has a very brutal schedule.

I have absolutely no f*cks to give anymore, and if someone’s gonna give me sh*t about what I like to run, f*ck them. f*ck them sideways.

I’m happy as long as I get pips and skirmish tickets, and I normally run with [SKY] anyways who truly ARE chill as f*ck, and very fun. Tired of elitist f*cks.
