Haha.

Edited: Since you started it, here is my reply if I’m the intended receiver (but I’m not going to decode it for him)

I do. I don’t want to hang around BS people, in game or in life.

Better not look in the mirror then. God, you’d be kitten ed.

Lucky me. I didn’t see you there.

I do. I don’t want to hang around BS people, in game or in life.

I am practicing Guang & Zenith ideas to let you guys find all the sources yourself.

^He is. That’s why I think he has some character defects.
Edit: That’s the wrong thread. He probably wanted to impress somebody by practicing trolling. There are plenty of serious discussion threads which he insulted everybody not believing in him.

@ Zenith,
Why not? I just dismissed your post and point you to here and let you figure it out yourself.

and put the banners in range too.

haviz.1340:

I think it’s like 3rd time when people are accusing Guang for being a fairy teller. It’s time you learn the power of the spreadsheet.

I’m sorry to break your bubble, Haviz.
First you have to build credibility then we proceed from there. I don’t think people are not that gullible to waste their time chasing rainbow if anyone just throwing any numbers out there. You think that they would take your words or Weth’s words if you guys haven’t established your credibility first?

So now Guang build a bit of credibility but if he keeps throwing BS like “I don’t need to explain to you” then I would treat him like a lucky lottery winner or a dead wall clock.
Hey man, even in real life, those guys want to make name for themselves by publish scientific papers would reveal enough information so those in the know, knowing what that guy talking about. But it has patent implication & big bucks. Here? give me a BREAK.

See? This is why we need a cohesive plan. People just wander in here and get infracted.

Shoulda went imbagon.

I cant blame anyone now because I’ll get another infraction. I have to keep thinking about how I’ll get framed for another one every time I post haha.

As for these dungeon forums… I view them as such: You know that stereotypical trailer park family? With the drunk parents who are always fighting and leave their children unattended for long periods of time? Only to check in to the wasted wreck of a caravan once every so often to yell at them to shutup and throw them moldy KFC drumstick… That’s this forums.

Swifts childhood surmised in a paragraph.

When someone put it so succinctly.
Or she could be a very good writer.

Real man goes for real woman.
Things many couldn’t dare to do in real life, might as well try “hard” on internet.

After a couple run w/ DnT, I think Guang wanted to impress Swifty.

Gw2buildcraft has not been updated since April 30th. I used to use it but now use intothemist exclusively. They updated change almost instantly.

It has been proven for a long time that human is remarkable. They always know how to make lemonade from lemon.

I have a long list of in game friends those I’ve run dungeons often or occasionally. The list stays at least 20 plus even at mid night PST. After the patch, 2 days in a row, the list drops to the low 10s around 10 PM PST. There is no reason for people to hang around to do anything once the token are nerfed.
This is the dumbest mistake Anet has made, bar none. The token nerfed.

If you stand behind him, he farts. Poisonous clouds covers 600 range and last 15s.
Teach you a lesson not staying behind somebody & look at it.

and stay away from TOFU. Or say I love TOFU.

Don’t ever try anything abbreviated to F/U. It does mean F/U.

Wraith.9426:

I really want to see a dev respond in here and tell us their reasoning for this change.

Too much time spent in meeting and the only time to do quality thinking are those precious bathroom break time.

This will guarantee put a dent to guild groups those teach new people running dungeons. Everyone now has to get in line and if you are late, tough luck.

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

I just did a quick numbers crunch for ele in case anyone was curious and a 25/0/25/20/0 LH + D/D ele gets about 3700 DPS with hammer, 2300 with D/D, averaging out at 3350 DPS sustained. Compare that to 20/30/20/0/0 GS guardian at 3000 DPS and 30/0/0/10/30 axe warrior at 2850.

Don’t ask me how I got those numbers, I got sick of explaining them to people who don’t understand them anyway.

You know, at my work if someone said that to me, I throw his paper into the trash can immediately w/o bothering to look at it. The point is there are morons in the forum but not all forum attendants are morons. If you don’t understand this piece of logic, your math is no good.

I’ve seen some spreadsheets w/ detailed traits/attacks of every classes, weapons damages, armor characteristics and everything else. It is the same concept of data compilation used by websites like intothemist, guildcraft to generate a build. You could also use the data to compile into a list of what attacks would caused the most damage and under what condition. Right now, the way it was build using excel isn’t the best to compile such info because it’s so rudimentary in term of data structuring. I would further guess that Guanglai probably has a good educated guess by tinkering w/ those spreadsheets but it’s still not an exact and conclusive data that he could put all the attacks under certain conditions side by side to compare. Until he provides such data, I wouldn’t put him on that high pedestal yet.
Maybe it’s a good matlab coding project for some students have plenty of time during their summer break. I could do the same but I rather spent hours w/ my friends recording some weirdo ideas in fractal than doing this.

Umm. OK, if you said so. Out of that mad genius, I believe you are right of one but not both.
And I think I have DR in my fun so I won’t screw up the OP any more.

^I know that human mind can make sense of the context out of bad spellings, bad grammars and bad structural statements, but I have to admit your post is one of the exception.

admit it you didn´t even read it.

No. I read it several times trying to understand what’s you are saying. But I’m sure you haven’t read it otherwise you would edit your post. Right?

ok for dumb people:
you guys grind and farm and skip in doungens.
anet makes temporary content in living story to keep you away.
all complain it should be perma.
anet changes doungen rewards.
ergo: its the fault of those who skip grind and farm.
end of story

You couldn’t even write a coherent statement and you call people dumb?

That’s exactly correct Nik.
I had that inkling feeling yesterday when I couldn’t join my group for several reasons.
What could happen to me would be worse for PUG because their selection & their group are even more limit than mine. I really don’t care that much for golds or tokens, but at least I can kill my time by spending more silvers to repair my armors in Arah.
And what PUG (read huge mass of PvE players) would do if they couldn’t get their group going? More Open PvE? more time at TP to buy Quagan back pack? Maybe it’s Anet intention after all.

That’s some pro skill clicking right there.

I know my gameplay hasn’t been very good those days.
I have keybinds for everything but Skill 9 by now! My mouse is missing a 4th extra button ._.

Some improvement here: 7:57 Lupicus Guardian solo

Edit: Link fixed.

You’re running 10/30/0/20/10 or 10/25/0/25/10?

Evidently, Anet hired a lot of slow & circular thinkers. They are always a rare occurrence in working class but found abundantly in positions of power.

^ The best answer in my opinion.

I really don’t know whether it’s worth or not. Above 40s, the mob hits harder and mostly 1 hit kills so it’s a challenge to play if you are into melee all things at certain fractals. Other than that, the rewards are not worth anything. The so called “prestigious” skins you got at 40s are the same thing at 20s, which many coordinated group could just sleep walked easily.

Wukunlin.8461:

how do i logic?

Because morons think simple hence infer that no one can read between the lines?

Jesus.
Yeah, that’s 15 chars for you.

At least we know those got Legendary had to grind or pay ransom for it. Fractal skin you never know whether that person had just won a lottery ticket at level 20s.

When I heard a chance, I said you got no credibility.

There are posts were saying the same thing as you just said and have been addressed.

The reason was written at the OP and expanded through out the thread, including refutation to similar posts like yours . You just need to read the whole thread and think about it a bit, and that includes possible objections to yours and others.

Nikaido.3457:

This is what everyone should run in fractals 48.

Looks familiar. Is it Wukunlin’s famous guardian build for all dungeons & fractals for PUG? (Or a deviation of his build)

^ You have to read all of what I wrote and you will find out that you still can do the same thing. Minus the grinding & time gate of course.

It might be an explanation for not changing it to an account base but I failed to see it as an issue. The daily chest reward is tied to a character and that character has a FOTM level associated w/. If Anet wants to change it, they just simply make the highest FOTM level an account base structure w/ a substructure level when a character has not complete the highest one yet.

Edited for clarity.

Yeni.3507:

This topic has been discuss before, the problem is that fractal completion reward is character bound just like regular dungeon, therefore a different path in explorable dungeon is treated just like a different level in fractal.
In short, to make fractal level account bound will cost us character bound rewards.

So what are the character bound rewards that we do not want to lose in exchange for account bound?

Go to Las Vegas. At least you have free food & free drink when you gamble.

lcpdragonslayer.7895:

…
@Oranisagu: I wonder what a few seconds of stability could possibly be useful for in a dungeon where gravellings chain knock back.

Oh wait.

He’s a zerker warrior. That’s why.

Link w/ spreadsheet
1) That thread is 3 mos old and anet has made some changes on fractal drops to correct something in lower level (if I recall correctly)
2) Sample size is small at level 40s to be conclusive (Would be tough to gather a larger sample size for level 40s)

My definite conclusion on this subject is only Anet knows what their programmed rate is and whether it’s buggy or not. Believe in what Anet’ saying is another issue.

Broadicea.8294:

yeah when I play my warrior all I do is press 2 and every time I win. every time. a dusk drops and I gain eleventy billion xp cause I pressed 2.

You’re talking about me? A pretty blonde warrior doesn’t know where to put a banner? And what is 2 by the way? Oh yeah. I got Dusk too. Jealous much?
<Rub more salts into the wound… Evil laugh>

I’ve ran it w/ my family guild members couple days ago and they are as newbie as they can be in GW2. 2 of them are under 600s AP, level 60s and 40s, brand new players, squishy classes and hard to play as a newbie: thief & ele. The other 2s haven’t seen any dungeon before. Worst one of them is a wrong bow ranger. I told her to go to practice sword/war horns/dagger and change to those weapons.Traits & skills to them are as foreign as Mars to Earth.
But there is a key of difference from this group and many struggling groups. I gave them very good info about boss animation before attacks, strategies use to melee, pull adds together to kill them faster and especially resisting the urge to kite, staying together to use their skills to help others doing their parts. Wiped by the queen poison when we stacked so I abandoned that stacking part. Killed her the normal way then clear Kholer the next try. Wiped at the boss 2 times before melee him down on the 3rd try.
It’s an coordinated group even though it’s the 1st time they learn it. Info I provided to my group you can also find everywhere in internet but groups not running like headless chickens or playing the content as one on each own is a different story.

I have to refrain myself not to say a word.

Broadicea.8294:

How about a giant kittening neon sign that says PRESS DODGE NOW

And a GIANT HAMMER appeared in the middle of the screen hitting a player in the face if he still failed to dodge w/ a huge message “NEW FACE PALM”.

aophts.9862:

I can’t believe people can solo legendary monsters, and a undead type with all the condition attacks and life steal. How the hell do i get good enough to do this??

:(

PS: btw, nice video, ty.

Take a lot of dedication. And nut.

Dek,
As I recalled that I sometimes got hit at the last sec while using Guardian Shield Absorption (#5 with Shield) and wondered why. Looking at Obal’s video, I noticed that when animation starts, the 1st projectile will hit 1s after and the AoE lasts for 3s. So assume that I activated the shield when Lupi hugs himself, the shield will go into effect 1 1/2s after and having a duration of 4sec which could only mean I could get hit by the 1st projectile. So it’s more likely that I got hit by the 1st one than the last one if I stayed the course. If I got hit by the last one then it must be me interrupting the skill.

OK, so people are sheep in game. And I’m pretty sure you are sheep in other things in life. So we are all sheep. Happy?
Sheep sheep here & sheep sheep there. Sheep sheep everywhere.
