That should work now.. Sorry about the mistakes. Got currently a pretty tight schedule so I only have time for this on late night which means less testing and more mistakes.
Sounds like a power creep. That’s not really skill based gaming.
Doing something challenging to get something which allows you to do something else challenging is pretty much same as doing something challenging and then doing something else challenging. Point is, it doesn’t really add anything meaningful.
I’m not a fan of free armor repairs because it feels like it reduces the impact of deaths from combat. From what I’ve experienced, free armor repair also renders repair canisters relatively useless in most situations outside of fractals and even then, it’s possible to “game” it by exiting and reentering.
Nothing prevents you destroying a couple of items whenever you die if you feel that it makes the game more fun.

I never said I found it “fun” to have repair fees, but I do feel that repair fees in some way serve the need to push players to play smarter and be far more aware of their surroundings rather than just have the “oh well, I died” mindset.
It’s already “oh well, I died” kind of a situation.
Harsh death penalty only encourages people to play safe instead of trying to challenge themselves and take risks. Doing extremely easy content or running with zergs is far from playing smart.
In GW1 every death had an impact and you couldn’t just waypoint back so it’s not a very good comparison. There is already a mechanic to prevent people just ignoring death. That’s called dying. When you die you no longer can use any skills or deal any damage. If everyone nearby dies the enemy will reset.
Again, if you have to repair your armor enough that it annoys you, then you need to learn how to play the game without dying so much. Feel free to ask for help on the forums.
If you’re complaining about dying too much in WvW. Stop playing WvW. Dying happens in WvW. And it can sometimes happen often if you’re doing things that really help your team.
So in your opinion a player who tries to solo dungeons, fractals or champions should ask help from people who kill moas and other highly dangerous targets?

I really hope you get banned Forte. We only have your side of the story and I’m pretty sure that you stole three legendaries from me. But if you give them back we can forget about this. Also you must say that I’m your master.
Since there will be different layouts available I can just add 1 column and 2 columns option to the dropdown so people can choose what they want. I will also try creating an automatic option which attempts to choose the best view for currently selected filters.
On the guild page you can also see a different layout (“list view”) for showing the records. Does this feel worth expanding (with more data and video links) or just scrap the whole idea?
Not really. If you play fair you very rarely have to kick people mid run. So even if you automatically got a point for every kick you wouldn’t get over the threshold since you would degenerate points away.
The whole system could actually be very simple. Whenever you kick an active player mid run you get 10 points. With more than 100 points you can’t kick anyone until you get below 50 points. Whenever you complete a dungeon you lose 1 point. Your points can’t go below zero.
In this case mid run would mean that path has been chosen and active player would mean that player has been 5 minutes in the instance and hasn’t been afk too long.
Click “Save filters” button to store current filters as the default filters. This means visiting the default record page will automatically load correct filters for you.
Record guilds can now be edited through the interface. Also added game build for future purposes. Approvers can check instruction tab for more info.
In submission example it was listed like "Profession1 Character1 (Player1): Video1 " so that might be better to avoid any confusion.
I know this player alias thing may seem redundant. Once I get the player and guild profiles part done we will see how they feel and whether they are worth keeping. If not then player alias thing can be scrapped.
Yes, technically all exploits are disallowed. But what is considered an exploit is not always clear. So it’s good to list anything which has raised questions so people don’t have to think about them again.
what is this? CM Path 2: Using the barrel “safe spot” is disallowed.
and is the brie dome considered progress blocking?
SE p3 clown car, is hiding in the middle level where most of the aoes can’t hit you considered safe spotting?
No idea about those. Someone with more insight about what rules actually mean have to clarify.
Suggesting defensive gear is always bit problematical because it’s a lot of gold wasted if you don’t need it. Also I have always been wondering how much it actually helps. With a bad group and bad skills you get rolled no matter your gear. With a good group you can run naked and die every fight but still get through easily.
Of course defensive utilities or even traits should be used whenever needed because those can be always changed.
TODO:
- Old fractal records
- All time records
- Visual improvements
- More filters
- Filters configurated by URL parameter (so you can for example have a link which automatically loads fractal records)
- Player profiles
- Guild profiles
- Record interface improvements for approvers
Heyh, just posting this here in case someone decides to make a record before the rule meeting on next weekend (which may wipe stuff).
With the new site there will be quite a bit more information available than previously. So naturally record submissions must include quite a bit more information too.
Current rules and guidelines can be found on http://gw2dungeons.net/Rules. This page will also include previous rulesets for reference.
Quote from the site if you don’t like clicking links:
Record Submission Guidelines
1. Submit new attempts under their own topic in the official dungeon forums.
a. Records will be approved or denied with 7 days of submission by an official approver.
2. Ensure that all required information is included in your submission.
a. Category (Restricted / Unrestricted)
b. Instance Name
c. Run time (Round up to the next even second)
d. The game build and date recorded
3. The game build from the Options Menu must be displayed in at least one point of view
4. Include profession, character name, player name, guild tag and video link for each participant.
a. Player name is your alias used for all records
b. If all players are in the same guild, only list the tag for the first player
Example:
The Ruined City of Arah: Path 4
25th January 2015, game build 44039
Restricted time: 20 m, 12 s
Guild: Example [EX]
Profession1 Character1 (Player1): Video1
Profession2 Character2 (Player2): Video2
Profession3 Character3 (Player3): No video.
Profession4 Character4 (Player4): Video4
Profession5 Character5 (Player5old -> Player5new): No video.
List of approvers:
Iris (Iris Ng.9845)
Particlar (Snowball.3497)
Ravi (Saix.4126)
Rising Dusk (Rising Dusk.2408)
Spoj (spoj.9672)
Also if possible, private message additional information from your previous records to Rising Dusk.
Even if we got something I doubt it’s going to be anything fancy because they don’t know/care what we want.
We must our self create our own content. Hopefully new GWSCR site will spark some speedrunning especially if solo category gets in.
Another idea is to resurrect the “Ascension challenge” topic with slight modifications. Instead of a competition with one active challenge there could be a list of interesting solo/group challenges for anyone to try at any time. For example Spider Queen solo with man mode is quite interesting, at least on Warrior.
I would say you are the one being negative here. Going completely off-topic just to bash me.
Whether he is trying to compete or not is irrelevant. Our guides are so similar that they automatically compete with each other. If you need a written fractal guide you very likely won’t read both.
Now if his plan was to make a popular guide for community then he would have a hard time. What I was trying is to make him aware of the situation and potentially avoid wasting his time. But since he explained his motive and goals there isn’t really anything to discuss. For his purposes it’s a good guide.
I didn’t tear him down. I told him the facts. Sometimes facts aren’t nice and may hurt. But I decided to risk that to avoid the potential case of him spending a lots of effort only to realize something very similar has already been done.
As I have stated multiple times, it’s entirely up to him what he does with his free time. Bot looks like the same doesn’t apply for me as you are giving me orders how I should spend mine.
now that’s not how you create a beautiful guild website. You set up events, write guides, share resources, that’s what makes guilds attractive. It’s a community, it’s supposed to be your home, you don’t just throw links to pictureless guides in your home. You give something back to your home
