Did you do the new Fractal 100CM? What are your thoughts?

    Having to redo a meaningless trash pull to reset your title eligibility feels bad.

    Having to stand there doing nothing while waiting for mechanics to resolve feels bad.

    Not being able to use my dodge to mitigate damage feels bad.

    Seeing my friends gear and learn builds they don't actually want to play just to pull a reasonable numbers feels bad.

    This encounter feels like it was designed for a different MMO. I think it would make a great mythic+ boss.

    I'll add gw2mists to the sidebar, as that's a more feature-complete website with the same functionality. That URL is using a free website host, so I'm a bit skeptical of its trustworthiness.

    Edit: it's already there. Reading is hard XD

    I would recommend replacing the Silver-Fed with Mystic Salvage Kits if you have stones to spare. It's less gold per salvage :)

    I don't think the GW2 subreddit is going to be able to set a NSFW flag to help continue the protest. News has already broke about Reddit replacing mods that did this in several of the big subreddits b
  • man0fbass man0fbass Now 100%

    @Ravi @Leiesoldat A lot of the power users who submitted the bulk of the content have stopped posting. Casual lurkers will follow eventually.

    I remember when all of my gaming friends were on Skype and Teamspeak. It took some time, but now we all use Discord. Someday, Discord will die too and we'll move on to Revolt or something else.

    It'll take time for reddit to die and habits to break. But we'll be here once folks are ready. https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/#hey-guys

    @dominoko Yep. Search on federated social media doesn't actually search text, only hashtags. This makes it so only people who want their post to be found can make it easily findable; cuts down on the quote retweet dunk kinda stuff.

    Hopefully it's actual gameplay and not RP that makes it long. I much prefer faster fractals, but I'll take what I can get.

    Anet does seem to be keeping things fairly close to the chest nowadays. They're only giving details on the next update and keeping any future plans vague at best.

    iirc that was happening for kbin.social for a while during a ddos attack. cloudflare does mess with federation quite a bit.

    As much as I'd like that to happen, this part of the fediverse is definitely not ready for a mass migration of users. For now, it's only longtime users and early adopters. The average user probably wouldn't be okay with downtime, and the average moderator would be woefully underequipped to manage the community.

    The beauty of federated social media is that it doesn't matter which one "wins". Once bugs are sorted out, Kbin can see Lemmy's content and Lemmy can see Kbin's.

    Everything here is connected, so it ultimately won't matter which platform or server you choose. Obviously there are levers for admins to defederate (or, refuse to communicate with) from servers who host illegal content or enable spammers. This is generally a last resort though; most admins believe strongly in keeping everything connected.

    Vote if you like, but the primary reason I'm posting this is because this community has been linked as a reddit alternative in the post. Welcome gamers! You do not need an account on kbin.social to post here. Pick any [Kbin](https://fedidb.org/software/kbin) or [Lemmy](https://join-lemmy.org/instances) server (lemmygrad and lemmy.ml are not recommended), make an account, and type `@guildwars2@kbin.social` in the search bar to get here. Consider subscribing to /c/guildwars2@lemmy.wtf as well if you're able. There's been some odd bugs getting their posts, hopefully that's ironed out. These projects are still somewhat early in development, but have a promising future! Also: consider searching [#GuildWars2](https://kbin.social/tag/GuildWars2) to see even more discussion from the wider network. If you have any questions about federated social media, please ask them below :D

    Week 2 of the WvW beta. What are your thoughts so far?
  • man0fbass man0fbass Now 100%

    Do dailies on red BL if you hate running into people. Or just learn how to fight. I chose the latter as a PvE player and it's been a lot more fun.

    I think any channel that's able to get away with crowdfunded monetization like Ko-Fi or Patreon would be able to make the switch comfortably.

    Transferring ownership of a magazine

    I'd like to transfer ownership of a magazine I created to another moderator. Is there a way to do this?

    Hi folks! I'm adding a new rule under Allowed Content: > > > Advertisements to other fediverse communities focused on Guild Wars 2 > > For those of you that are new to federated social media, you might be wondering why this is important. The fediverse is decentralized. A quick browse on the default homepage of kbin.social will show you content from other instances of Kbin and Lemmy. Searching [#GuildWars2](https://kbin.social/tag/GuildWars2) will show you even more discussion from other federated servers. If this magazine was the only place on the fediverse to discuss the game and kbin.social shut down (or if I turned out to be an overzealous mod who decided to only allow posts about DPS minstrel core thief), then that would be a huge problem! We'd find ourselves in the same situation we're in right now with the loss of /r/guildwars2. There's a ton of very nice people around the fediverse who discuss the game. Any assistance posters want to provide in helping us find them is welcome. The conversation is not limited to kbin!

    The new fractal will be called [Silent Surf](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Silent_Surf_Fractal#cite_note-1). ([image](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/439163526616055821/1118583989649801246/image.png)) Apparently this is a [location from GW1](https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Silent_Surf).

    With most (if not all) 3rd-party apps breaking on reddit, I thought it would be a good idea to get something set up on the fediverse for the community. For now, it's very barebones but things should fill out as I learn more about kbin specifically. If you would like to help, the best way to contact me is [@bass](https://mstdn.games/@bass).
