Also, there was a dev already acknowledging this on the forums at least: en-forum.guildwars2.com/topic/176786...

New Rift masteries
From what I inderstood, they are introducing a new mastery line that will allow you to teleport to the location where the rift happens. The problem I see with that is that players without this mastery...

I guess a good solution would be if people with the mastery also revealed the closest rift tear to them for others. That way people without the mastery can also use it, and it shows to others that someone's doing more rifts. Natural way for a rift farm group to form

I was in the denying gw3-camp for this specific reason, I both didn't want them to let go of gw2 and couldn't believe they would just drop it. So I do feel pretty validated with them announcing they're keeping gw2 (and gw1!) going now, seems like a very smart choice too financially!

why does google suck now

Google search feels worse today because its core experience has been traded for ad revenue, clutter, and automated summaries. Several systemic changes have contributed to this decline: 

YouTube
·Alex Falcone
 +2
Ad Clutter and Sponsoring: Top results are heavily dominated by pay-per-click ads and sponsored content, forcing authentic organic results further down the page.
AI Overviews: AI summaries frequently occupy the most prominent space above the search results, which can sometimes scrape and surface incorrect information instead of directing you to the original source.
SEO Gaming: A constant arms race between Google and websites optimizing for search engines means that many results are filled with affiliate links and keywords, rather than genuine, high-quality human content.
Reduced Discoverability: Google has heavily deprioritized exact-match boolean searches (like putting phrases in quotes) and natural language queries, meaning it hides the niche human-written content you are actually looking for. 

seo2.onreact.com
 +5
If you are frustrated with the current state of search, you can bypass the clutter by modifying your habits or trying alternative platforms:
Add "Reddit" to Queries: Many users rely on finding actual human discussions by appending site:reddit.com or just "reddit" to their search.
Try Privacy-Focused Engines: Alternatives like DuckDuckGo filter out the heavily bloated tracking and aggressive sponsored widgets.
Consider Paid Search Alternatives: Platforms like Kagi offer ad-free, premium search experiences designed to surface high-quality human content rather than SEO-farmed websites.

It wasn't a miss, it just has one big flaw and that's the fact you can't directly modify your wardrobe anymore, which they said they'll implement with the next path. Other than that issue I find that the system is really good and I'm actually playing around more with my wardrobe than before.

Don't get your hopes up for this, it would require significant reworks as the texture atlasses for light, medium, and heavy characters are laid out differently.

Yeah alright, more like build templates then. The ID thing is interesting though, kinda sounds like a chat code would only work for the creator's race? Can't imagine that actually being the case though.

Jan @relifed.eu · 19/01/2026
could this mean they're exportable like build templates or homestead layouts? or would it still function like equipment templates?

[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]

JANET:
Ugh...

LIZ:
What's up?

JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!

LIZ:
Have you tried...

AI peas?

JANET:
AI peas?

LIZ:
They're peas with AI!

[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].

LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas

JANET:
What

LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]

Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?

[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]

LIZ:

Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine

[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]

LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!

JANET:

LIZ:
Shut up

LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow

From opening the bag of peas

to boiling the peas

to eating the peas

To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.

JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
