Guild Wars 2

Lord Kuru.3685:

Make conditions fire and forget. In other words, make the damage it does independent of stat changes of the condition giver (e.g. getting might after applying the condition).

This should reduce the amount of computations (and data retrievals) necessary to determine condition damage and allow more conditions to be applied.

This should be how they implemented it…… as a software dev, I would never, NEVER, want to constantly check for updates to mod the dmg on a DoT. They should be fire and forget. No wonder they are having bandwidth problems. Imagine. 25s of bleed @ 25 stacks. That’s 25 checks per second, over 25 seconds, 625 extra operations, not to mention all the underlying mechanics to retrieve a players stats. Imagine if they let it stack to 100. 2500 extra operations. To say the least: ‘Ew’.

Come over to TC. We welcome all! We have a very solid community as well as doing well as a server (PvE and WvW).

Tarnished Coast (NA) has gotten 2 more today (9/19) as if this post for a total of 6.

I got it by just standing near the tail. Didn’t even dodge. I walked up and got it. Just like that. I’d tried to get it a fight before, but no luck, even with dodging. shrug

I was reading that in order to use the Mumble overlay you have to launch Mumble before GW. So I tried it. I get either: A) If using my No Patch UI it opens a message box saying: “Unable to initialize Direct3D output”, or If I launch regularly the patcher freezes upon opening.

My DX9 and 11 drivers are up to date, as are my video cards. Guildies have been able to use the Mumble overlay using this method without any errors.

If anybody can help, I’d really like to use the overlay.

Thank, Rat.
