WC3, even on its hardest setting, has a super easy campaign. Also missions there are designed to have at most a medium attention span. There’s never really a time where you have to be on edge for more than a minute or two. You can also pause at any time.
You’re all quite missing the point. Reviving scales with the HP of the target so that the time is usually the same. Rezz someone with 20k hp and you get a big number, rezz someone with 10k hp and you get half that number, no matter your healing power.
Quickness and slow applied a multiplier to that fixed time, as it quickened/slowed down the time between ticks, which was unwanted. Usually the healing power does not affect reviving, and as poison is a direct cut applied to the final output it effectively lengthens the revive time, which was only comparable with slow.
I experienced similar behavior throughout the game. There’s a 24h limit on gathering, but if you’re logging in with that character often the reset does not get initiated correctly. To prevent that log in with another char first, do something, then relog.
Very common issue if you park a character at the not so secret jp chest.
When HoT launched I already hat 50 and you only need 49. Just by playing what I usually play. I basically play a little of everything so I don’t really get why people have issues with that. Especially the notion of “no I will never do x”. There are more than enough easy achievements by which you get the mastery points.
Additionally “And even then, those Achievemnts take a long time to do such as the diving goggles one.” Seriously? Just get a list of them from the wiki or where ever and it takes maybe 30 mins to do them all.
Language naturally changes and we can’t stop that, but the difference between evolving and devolving is whether or not it is becoming more or less clear that you have communicated what you intended to communicate.
And literally used in both cases does not subtract from that. Both meanings can be used because context clearly defines which meaning is used. There are a lot of words which have more than one meaning, but in any case context gives you all the information, which is effectively an evolution, as it’s both easier (less words) and does not in any way subtract meaning.
Language is usually in a constant flux to improve itself (reducing words which have nothing meaningful to add, simplifying others which are commonly used, creating new ones if others are insufficient).
Spelling and especially pronunciation (which drives spelling) are a result of that. Dictionaries actually caused most languages to stagnate a lot. Yes it might be easier to learn and easier to be understood by a higher number of people, but language evolves for a reason.
Just think of an easy example like color or colour. American English removed the unnecessary u because just saying color is easier to pronounce and spell and does not in any way detract meaning.
And if you’re afraid of gear check, well, too late, thanks to GW2 Efficiency, that’s a thing.
What’s this?
Do explain
Very nifty site where you can see everything on your account. I like it. I don’t know how you can see other player’s stuff, though.
in this game you can not see other players gear stats and so forth by clicking on them
like you can do in wow or world of war craft if you will . in that game you can click on
the players toon and find out all the gear and rune stat info on him with out even asking
. honestly to tell the truth iam glad this game does not have that and hope it dont get it
too
Same, I don’t want it either. It was suggested further up the thread that GW2 Efficiency could be used to look at other people’s stuff but I couldn’t see how.
The actual problem would be people not rezzing you. The actual combined time it takes to rezz someone is a lot lower than that one running back from a wp. It’s just that people don’t want to have their personal dps decreased because they do oh-so-much damage.
You can do level 19 (even 29 if your team agrees to it) without much hassle without having any AR (did 30 and 31 with a friend yesterday who had no AR at all, wasn’t much of a problem). Doing that you often earn ascended rings anyway, and get pristine fractal relics with which you can get an ascended ring from with stats you want (you get 3-7 pristine relics now doing the fractal dailies). So that’s basically 10 AR for free.
Now infusing takes a bit longer now than it had (because you have to do lvl 35 to even get globs), but having fractal mastery on lvl 2 (which doesn’t take that much xp) you can very cheaply attune an ascended ring.
From that point on you can make use of your agony infusions, which you get a lot now. Just doing the 3 easiest fractal dailies gives you about 50. You need only 16 for a +5, which means at that point you have at least 20 base AR.
Additionally there are potions you can buy that temporarily give you +10 AR.
So you have a base AR of 20, with which you can play up to level 34 without much of a thought. At that point it’s really no big deal to get other ascended stuff, and it takes maybe 4 days.
If you want to play higher levels than that: don’t be a casual. If you have the time to play higher, you have time to get more ascended gear. If you don’t want to invest in it because you want to buy that 1000g skin on the tp that’s your choice.
The difference is that it brings you directly to that friend. Even if you never been there.
For instance a new char fresh out of the tutorial can just teleport to a friend who stands in front of the Arah Dungeon.
I did Zhaitan again yesterday too, and what he does is totally random. He hasn’t changed but usually only uses the black fields which do quite a bit of dmg and poison, and the knockbacks. He spawned only 1 group when I did him a few days before HoT release.
Dunno if he really scales now since it isn’t a real dungeon anymore… I was alone in both runs.
Daim even my old Laptop gets a boost from the 64 bit version.
@michelada.2947: That’s only logical. The dat archive is already based on 64 bit so your processor doesn’t have to convert back and forth all day now but can read the file natively.
As PopeUrban already said there are a lot of imperfections, not just restricted to the priory story line. Esp around Granite Citadel and a few other dwarven outposts.
I have a 2 monitor setup and if action cam is active it doesn’t move the mouse cursor, as with right clicking in normal mode.
Or are you complaining that the cursor is otherwise not restricted?
Also having something like a game restricted to the primary monitor can also have a performance reason.
After 2 friends of mine and myself completed Torn from the Sky one of them (Meh Lindi on slyasu.4102) got ported back to the Prologue, and not Verdant Brink, but already having unlocked masteries and having the right story step.
Can a dev kick him out to Verdant Brink or something? Please haaalp!
Thanks in advance.
It also says Ascended as rarity (at least that’s a guess but “Ascendido” sounds quite like it) while having an exotic name color.
Additionally it has 2 sigil slots and 1 offensive and 1 defensive infusion.
It’s damage is exotic. Stats are ascended + upgrade.
Gems to gold is basically the only system that’s sufficiently regulated based on a finite amount (which is good). Every other system in the game is basically totally random and currently favors inflation (which is bad).
Another is creation of trash items which can only be sold, which makes them basically nothing but proxies. The use of proxies would make sense if the money going around would be finite (a merchant having only x amount of money), thus this would just exchange money. But as money in this game is infinite (a merchant can purchase every bit of kitten you have) gold is generated at all times, and there are few things merchants sell that are worth buying, thus only removing a little gold. The biggest gold sink is in the TP, but still it’s an arbitrary number which has no correlation to gold generated.
The reason money even exists is convenience. Let’s say you have 10x and want to buy 2y and 3z. 1y is worth 0.4x, and 1z is worth 0.3×. Now you have the problem if you trade 1x to 2y you make a loss of 0.2×. So you would have to trade 2x for 5y to make no loss. But now you have 1x less and 3y more than you actually wanted.
Money solves this problem and makes these exchanges convenient. The leftover money can be spent on other things. In this example z. Having no money gets more and more complicated and you need more and more trades if you want differently valued stuff. There’s also the convenience to find trading partners, as some only might want to trade u for v for example, but you want to trade u for w.
Actually Wintersday is very strongly oriented on Yule, or rather a mix of Yule and what became of it in the first years with the Christianization (plus a modern touch obviously). Most “christian” traditions we have on christmas are actually the result of pagan traditions which got “reworked” to be adapted for christmas. With Christianization the church moved a lot of their holidays to be at the same day, or at least general time frame, as the original pagan holidays, thus giving the people only the option to celebrate the christian holidays (not doing so was punishable).
To still hold to traditions the people basically mixed what was forced on them, and what they did for centuries.
Legends tell us (one dev stated that quite a while back) that World Boss chests have the highest chance to drop a precursor.
@Angelica Dream Sell the T6 mats you get. You’ll easily get 10g/h (though it’s recommended to stay longer as the drops get better with defeating VW, so before doing that you’ll probably get less… you could also do map hopping if you find the right taxis)
@Showbiz: You can open the chest at the end with each character once per day. But you only receive the daily ui chest once per account.
Yup so basically as a free player (or just one who wants to play with friends who are on a different continent (US/EU)) you can basically do anything but fractals, at least for quite a while.
There is the option of commendations for accessories, not amulets. I already never mentioned rings, as I know they’re just 10 relics. WvW is just less laurels and a few hundred badges, but still laurels.
So okay it’s only the amulets where you only can get the Triforge Pendant on a free account, though I’m a bit unsure if you can get to SW to get Jurah’s Jewel and Wynne’s Locket.
As a free account does not receive daily login rewards it is impossible to aquire laurels. Is that working as inteded or a oversight? It means they have only a very limited way of getting ascended amulets (only the Triforge Pendant) and ascended accessories (only the ones from dungeon achievements).
What I would be upset about is losing the temple assaults though. Something else would have to take their place.
That would actually be good, Temple events are basically broken since the Megaserver system is in place. When was the last time you were able to do an attack on the High Priest in front of Arah?
Maybe unrelated, but it’s possible to generate chat codes for item stacks up to 255 items for any item type. So it seems that any item is fundamentally stackable.
The game just prints the information contained in the code without error checking, even if actually illegal ingame.
Also a simple bool/flag to check if one can stack it is much less work than creating a new class with different inventory handling.
