Guild Wars 2

captured a clip from the vista at Ramalot. Had to redo the music cause I forgot to mute mumble. I play on triplehead so I uploaded both the cropped and original size.

A word of warning to those that might go poking around my youtube channel. Some of the other things there would not be appropriate to play over speakers in public nor around young children. Watch/listen at your own risk, I take no responsibility if you’re evicted as a result of playing those videos too loudly over speakers.

EnochDagor.6185:

I don’t think it takes 2 weeks, it only takes the past week.

This is why when SF got first place in week match, it still fell 5 points (because it was so close of a matchup and we were the point leader going into the matchup).

It does take past performance cumulative performance into account.

This actually discusses ELO but it’s still on point for Glicko-2

A Comprehensive Guide to Chess Rating

The attenuation factor 8 in formula ( rpost = rpre + 8 ( S – Sexp ) ) can best be interpreted as the amount of weight given to the new tournament performance relative to the pre-tournament rating. The larger the value of 8 , the greater the amount of change allowed in one’s rating. It can be shown mathematically that for a 4-round tournament, setting 8 = 3 2 corresponds approximately to computing a weighted average of a pre-tournament rating and a performance rating with weights equal to 94.7 % and 5.3 % , respectively. 2 ± This implies that each time a new tournament is observed, 94.7 % of our belief is invested in the old rating, but we let 5.3 % of our belief be guided purely by what happens in the tournament. If computing a tournament performance rating, rperf , were a straightforward calculation, then an alternate method for computing a post-tournament rating corresponding to 8 = 3 2 would be

rpost = 0 .947 rpre + 0 .053 rperf .

Analogously, when 8 =2 4, the weights become 96.2% and 3.8 % , respectively, and when 8 = 16 the weights become 97.5 % and 2 .5 % , respectively. These approximations only hold when the discrepancy ( S – Sexp ) is not too large.

In GW2’s case either match up is equivalent to a tournament and If I remember correctly K would be calculated based on several things such as rating and deviation.

Based on the last scores I gathered this is my estimation.

The event is stuck right before the part at Death’s Gaze Torch, it was also stuck here before the patch. Keeper Jonez Deadrun is dead alone just outside the point of interest and he just stands there when rezed. The event text simply states, “The Pact have arrived at Death’s Gaze Torch”.

If by “Worth” you mean make money then based on this I’d say no. If you want get some quick levels via other means then maybe.

I’ve been noticing heartseeker missing even at melee. When it happens my character tends to do something akin to a barrel roll. A few times I’ve actually hit critters near by instead of my intended target. It has to be something with it not taking targets properly.
