Guild Wars 2

IEximius.9204:

Now if even these mousestrokers were in some way reduced by half, then that would be a decent QoL change would it not?

If you haven’t done this already, map an extra mouse key or keyboard button to doubleclick. This will reduce your mousestrokes by exactly half.

You can also download an autoclicker program that you can activate when you need to.

CHOAM.7852:

I rather you did not enter the data at all if it is incomplete. Your result which excludes the karma potions would skew the data table.

The formula used to calculate the percentages in that table is already skewed because it divides the number of drops in each category by all the total number of items received (not the number of boxes opened). This doesn’t work because you always receive more than one item in each box. You can get 20 unidentified objects in one box, which vastly lowers the percentages for all other objects.

IMO, the best way to fix the percentages at the bottom of the table would be to just divide by the number of boxes opened, then you would get a result like 3.5 unidentified objects and .005 onyx lodestones per chest or something similar.

My data show that the chance of getting a lodestone is ~3%, which is about 5x higher than the table suggests from the percentages alone. Chance of getting an obsidian shard is ~13%, much higher than the 3% the table shows.

I’m quite pleased with the rewards. I got enough gold to buy 4 pieces of the human cultural armor (just need gauntlets now) and enough obsidian shards to get 77 mystic clovers.

I’ve added my results to the list on the wiki, but I didn’t keep track of the liquid karma (since I drank it to get more boxes)

It was about 50 minutes worth of clicking…

So after opening 174 jugs of karma and some other assorted karma potions with a +90% karma boost*, I had 2.095 million karma. I bought 460 orrian jewelry boxes and used all karma from those boxes to buy more boxes. In total I opened 1594 boxes. Here’s what I got:

26 Balthazar minis
5590 Unidentifiable Object (worth a total of ~28 gold)
214 Obisidian shards
51 lodestones
6 piles of putrid essence
2 cold potions
1 warm potion
1 charged potion

*This is what I used to get +90% karma:
+50% karma boost from a black lion chest
+15% from karmic infusion
+15% from a guild boost (Thanks DHE!)
+5% from ice cream
+5% from a guild banner (Thanks DHE again!)

1) Would you prefer ascended gear to be the last tier implemented for the remainder of GW2?
YES
2) Would you prefer ascended gear to be equal to exotic gear in all statistics except agony resistance?
NO, ascended gear is fine.

I’ve been getting this same error all day since wintersday event hit. Unfortunately, I cannot be sure it is not my ISP since I just moved to my family for the holidays and am using their ISP. I’ve never seen this error before today with my normal ISP, but I am now being kicked every 5-15 minutes. My friends using the same router haven’t had any trouble though. I hope this helps diagnose the problems, I just tried the winsock and cleared DNS cache, i’ll report back if I see any results.

EDIT: Got this error again after ~15 mins
