Guild Wars 2

By the way, who’s moderating this bet?

Post redacted………

Not that I don’t trust you Colsey, but there should be a neutral third party so that there’s no shadow of a doubt as to the final results.

I highly doubt there is a single neutral person watching this thread.

Tree.3916:

Don’t be daft. There are tools available that tell me what gear, skills, and traits everyone in the party is using. Don’t need gear checks, just check the tool and you have all the info you need.

Edit* Send your bets to Dankies in game and I will keep a tally of who bet on who. I’ll offer 3:1 odds on Azrell and 2:1 odds for hendo.

My bad. Didn’t know there were tools that used this. What time? I wanna place some gold on colsey.

I’ll moderate if ya’ll want!

Azreell.1568:

Also, I notice a total lack of silence by him now.

Go figure….

Can’t I even go for little boys without being called inactive? :<
And yeah, you should record when you changed gear too. You need to replace the scholar runes on your berserker set with traveller runes (or 1 traveller rune with another one) by the way, else I could just judge on your movement speed.

The large bets are all on “hendo” folks!

I can’t place a bet right now though. :/

Wait, what tools let me check allies stats? O.o

Which dungeons are you going to run?

Max Lexandre.6279:

For the sake our community health, end this “zerker build master-race”, even Guardians are Zerkers now! Dear lord!

Part of the community has signed in on a non-trinity game, yet they expect to be viable or even useful as tanks (PVT) or healers (clerics).

You wanna tank? Wrong MMORPG buddy.

Lilith Ajit.6173:

Which dungeons are you going to run?

I’d like Arah. Probably the one with the least difference between gear sets, as in AC you can tell the difference of a lack of precision and critical damage really easy.
CoE could work too, but I absolutely hate that dungeon. Not even sure if my NA guardian got to Mount Maelstorm already.

Mmm. Arah 1 and 2 would be cool.

Wait. Your NA guardian?

hendo.1940:

NA guardian

Dub :o

My amazing Bifrost Elementalist is on EU.

Pshhh.

Kaiser.8504:

snip :o

Don’t reveal me! ._.

Whoa. Dub.

Dub for prez.

Wai :(

Azreell.1568:

hendo.1940:

Alright, 1.000 gold to me if I can tell wether you use celestial or berserker armor, 1.000 gold to you if I can’t. EU or NA servers? I’m totally up for a run.

Edit: You’re sadly offline.

NA.

I will be online this evening – at work atm. Look me up I will always have fraps running so you know its legit.

Uhm, when is this evening, by the way? Because it’s 7:30pm here right now.

Max Lexandre.6279:

Dalanor.5387:

I wanted some fancy insulting, but i have a serious question instead.
Why you favour your own build instead of the accepted meta builds? Including berserker gear ofc.

Because the game is fun when we have several builds, and we actually PLAY the game, not fast-run towards all content and then complain this game do not have enough content. O.o

You have several builds. Your build definition seems to be stats. Build to me involves traits, runes, weapons, utility skills and playstyle.

A good majority of the bosses in this game are clearly bad-designed boring HP-sacks. You want to make those encounters last longer because suddenly if they take longer they are more fun?

• YOUR** fun isn’t exactly fun to others. You demand zerker’s playstyle to be nerfed so that they are forced to play with you and not with other zerkers that share their same mindset.

The only elitist I see around here is you.

I was always under the impression you can’t catch other objects stats without attacking or receiving hits of them, I mean if it’s possible, why do we all bother with checking enemies stats the “old” way with getting hit or hitting them with a fixed amount of buffs? Wethospu would surely rage so much if there was/is such a tool, lol.

I’m a #DubFanGurl so I’m so excited it hurtz.

I think frifox has what he calls a “personal pugs gear lie detector”, I know how it works, but I shouldn’t reveal the details here.

Was going to ask the same question. O.o

Also , Yes, I will use ruins without apparent tells for both sets.

I saw a youtube video where the guy had some sort of add-on that let you see party member’s HP, so you could tell what set they were wearing. I’m sure he’s referring to some variation of that. For this evening’s purposes, that kind of software is disallowed I’m guessing?

Kaiser.8504:

I do know how it works, but it doesn’t let you check stats or anything. It’s just to calculate stuff like movement speed, range and dps based on what the client displays.

I’m considering offering the winner of this challenge a brand new guild wars 2 account. Mainly because I’m nearly positive dub will win and I should like to know when hendo=colesy or dub.

There’s a version which does (at least I’ve seen the videos).

Woooow beaten at fixing the thread

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1D7njjRmjTYAarPpqg7b9bDrU_9HmEYX7ET-MVan2OdQ/edit#gid=0 is the official betting spreadsheet. Thanks Tree/Dankies!

How do I edit it on an iPad >_>

I think the Google Drive app will do it

Does this event have a name? Was thinking “Do you know more than a Zerker?”

Gyler.8150:

What if I use clerics gear myself?

I’ll be recording the runs with shadowplay, btw, so you can see what exactly goes on on my monitor. Don’t judge my on my youtube subscribed channels, though. I like music!

Edit: Apparently the new geforce experience broke shadowplay, it records desktop and ingame to different files in different directories.

Woopwoop. Totally in for that, although I’d have to refund Lilith ingame with fancy gemstore stuff again.

Hillarious, lol. Although I’m not colesy.

Until I figure out how to sync the spreadsheet to my Sheets app, I’ll be writing here instead.

Can somebody tell me how to sync it?

I have been asking around and so far only “no no”. Current and maximum health are the only things which are given to the clients.

But anyways, it’s not very hard to see how hard someone gets hits. There is something fishy when I lose half of my health as a Warrior and some Elementalist loses only 25%.

Someone on the spreadsheet mentioned that you should use both, berserker and celestial in ascended or other variants of the same rarity + item level.

No level 1 zerker gear.

HELP I’M MISSING ALL THE FUN Q_Q

You can look it up later lindy.

I feel I need to address a few comments made against my words before I go do english. And thats because If eel a bit insulted by the words. As the only viable excuse for these berserker rushes are runtime, which is fine, but a waste.

Second, you think the beserker build is the only way to be played? Thats insanely foolish, I would argue the beserker build is way too squishy, I can’t stand that kind of high damage low dodge mentality, I need armor and defense, as running in and praying I beat my enemy in the first shot isn’t my style, I am not kyosuke nambu.

When you get more experienced in the game, you will understand.

I don’t want to udnerstand, I never will, I think that kind of mentality is downright offensive. Telling someone that a single set of stats and gear is the only viable way to play, is not an act of skill, its insulting the game and it’s players. If the game is truly so terribly unbalanced that beserker is the only way to go, then the games design need words. Thankfully, thats garbage. The ability to take a hit and not have to run beowulf style is not an act of weakness nor any less than another style, and I never want to become the kind of person who yells at others for not following some expected build. In fact, I have some apologizes to make in TF2 now.

Am I the only one getting a bit angry about this beserker build obsession?

Nope, we have a ranting topic about how someone hates berserkers for their made up reasons everyday. People are ignorant and not willing to adapt. Skritt happens.

There are people ranting about a community that seems to love berserk to death and problems in gameplay that result out of that. I also lvoe the hypocrisy, you claim no one else wants to adapt while saying one per-selected style is the only way to go.

No one is force you to join into zerker groups, you can make your own LFG. Be less ignorant and respect other people playstyle, since they find that way more fun.

Every once in a while thats fine, and I do run my own groups now as a result. Buy guess what, that kind of mentality is only viable for speedruns, if you demanding it purely because you think other builds are useless, you’re just being a jerk. My complaints are to the fools who do nothing but demand beserkers every run, or threaten kicks for not being that. I was kicked out a group for not being beserker without warning in the title, and again for not being able to speedrun. These are not fair things to expect, they are specialized things, know the difference.

I think the funny thing, other than that there are 50 million “haet zerk” threads at any given time, is that the same people respond to them in the same way every time. I guess I’m guilty of it too since I’m posting here too but really guys,.

I never once said I hate zerker – just to clarify.

I wish this could be on twitch, that chat though.
