Guild Wars 2 Khan-Ur
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?

That's a giant new launcher

Here we go! #GuildWars #Reforged is out

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?

I always like to wing it a bit with the hair shader because I can never get the anisotropic rotation right

Thank you, have a duck!

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

That's not going to stop me

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

"So we recently had our demonic 9 feet tall Peitha and the -I can probably fix her- Bog Queen... We need to design a new sexy red flag for the #GuildWars2 Visions of Eternity expansion that players will absolutely fall for!"

Gildwar Tree confirmed! Randomly stumbled into this Anet dev (looks like they're currently streaming for extra life)

Some more #GuildWars2 homestead module fun:

- I have a homestead template with a tiny little house in it
- I have another template with just 3 pillars
- With just a few lines of code it makes copies of the house at the pillars creating a cozy little neighborhood!

I don't think the disguise spell Ludo puts on players at the start of VoE's story so you can infiltrate an Asuran lab is really going to work for my character...

"Don't be silly the commander has yellow eyes"

What's better than a homestead home? Having both of them on the same map! Download: thatshaman.com/homesteads/c...

Tiny house is tiny

I'm utterly stuck now

I've managed to rebuild after sinking my previous homestead but I had to go smaller... I now have a #GuildWars2 homestead for ants and you can too!

More #GuildWars2 homestead template fun. I don't think my insurance is going to cover this 😅

And why stop at just rotating? Time to move into the mountains!
