Less Grind, More Story | Zero to Hero: Episode 17 | Guildwars 2 2024

[@yourfavoritesteve]

I’m super invested in this series. Thanks for doing it, especially with all you have going on. Question: what books and genres do you enjoy? Are you ever looking for similar themes in the GW2 stories you play?

Pushing algorithm. Great work.

Busy week but dropping a quick comment for the algorithm and to say congrats on that amazing GPA, Sil!

Thanks, I'm finishing up my 2nd to last semester, done in two weeks and then got my last set of 9 weeks before graduation. I've been grinding full time at it for about 2 years now so my burnout is immeasurable at this point, but I'll power through. As far as GPA goes, I just min-max the grading rubric and it seems to work out fine. I have a adjunct professor right now that I may need to take to administration- he is just making up the rules as he goes. We will see how it plays out, but if I get a sub 90% I'll be pretty pissed when I'm this close to a Summa Cum Laude kicker on my degree. Worst case is I'll snag a Magna lol More than anything I'll just be happy to be done with it all.

Any advice for jumping into raid PUGs, for a newer raider? I've mostly been sticking to my guild events and trainings (so far, hit every wing but W3 and W5) to work on the legendary collections, so it'd speed things up to do more outside of those scheduled times. I'm just worried about breaching some etiquette or taboo, lol xD

What do you find to be the most impactful profession and/or elite spec in PVE, including open world and instanced content? And which one has been the most impactful through the years? Impactful here can be very open ended, I'm thinking about a combination of group utility, damage/healing output, self sustain, overall difficulty, or anything else.

[@JillTheManiac]

almost done binging this series

[@SilhouetteGaming1]

There is more to come! Hope you're enjoying so far. New eps are uploaded Monday at 5:30AM PST. Once JW comes out there will be a short break and that slot will be thoughts on new expac and playthrough.

[@Azwynn]

Keep up the content!

[@codemeifyoucan305]

Do you think you should try to relearn some of the boss or game mechanics as a true zero to hero (like CM fracs or raids).

[@brandoncrampton7511]

[@SilhouetteGaming1]

[@lilshan9373]

How do you manage your time with real world things and gaming?

[@Rogizjedzpierogi]

Quick comment about anything. I like to have one hero that have full story done, all maps done like a main one. Rest is for pvp or specific events

[@NouMPSy]

Inshallah i hope that cryptis are kept in Soto and ignored for at least a while. Ive had enough of them

[@TuitanBoger]

[@ThatIsDebatable]

This series has inspired me to actually jump into raids again (I tried around HoT launch and it did not go well at the time). 6/18 Envoy 1 hype.

[@SilhouetteGaming1]
