Really not the best place for this as it should be in the Mesmer subforum but the best way to figure out what is the real one…a good mesmer wont’ stay still for long. Not to mention if they are a sword/pistol build they will be getting in your face (best bet that is the real one) if they are a staff they will be sitting far in the back casting, possibly strafing. Greatsword build, its the one that threw the mirror blade.
clones use same weapon as the real mesmer’s weapon. if he uses greatsword, every clones use greatsword. and this is the right forum. i am talking about spvp balance.
No, mesmer questions belong in the mesmer forum. sPVP questions are for the sPVP. You have a complain about the mesmer, why I said prob not the correct forum. And yes they all have the same weapon if using the GS, but any good mesmer won’t stay still for long…they will break LOS to confuse you, they will be usign the terrain to their advantage (as every class SHOULD be doing). They will go for the high ground so you have to come to them all while they are whittling down your health. Out smart them. Make them come to you or wait till they let down their guard. This is not your classic PVP. Learn to play to their weaknesses. Mesmers have plenty. They are deadly 1v1 but 1v2 and they are dead most of the time depending on the class they face.
I do very little sPvP so I don’t know how much you have to do to get to rank 15 but I imaging it’s a fare share. So for the life of me I can’t figure out how you have PvP’d that much and still don’t know how to tell the Mesmer apart from the clones.
I do all my PvP in WvW where I sometimes face Multiple Mesmers and have no problem spotting the real Mesmer in the group.
Maybe it’s because I play one so I understand the mechanics. But as soon as they use anyone of their tricks I know exactly where to look them and have them targeted again and call target from my group mates. Try playing one for a little bit to get used to the mechanics maybe?
If you a part of a tourney party you should be used to learning how to spot the other classes mechanic and knowing how to counter them. It’s the same as learning to counter someones burst moves.
hey. everyone in my group was pretty strong and experienced and high rank. but still they complain about mesmer. they talk like mesmer is nightmare.
i think you never seen that they use stealth or they teleport back or they don’t move (or they keep running away and coming back)? i see many mesmers that dont move with many clones. they know how to use clones perfectly. it is overpowered skill in spvp. you can’t know which one is real. i played necromancer for almost 2 weeks without sleep. everyone complains about mesmer clones. they are too annoying. and when you fight against two mesmer, you can’t really know which one is real because they spawn many illusions and use stealth and teleport back and attack at once. you can see phantasms. but clones look same like real one. if real pro gamer uses this, you can’t even imagine how unfair things will happen.it is not a trick because it looks exactly same like real one. you learn nothing from it because it is not a trick. they don’t use only clones. they move and run and use stealth or blink.
also i think blink is OP. you can run away perfectly. it is not a trick. it is overpowered skill. mesmer has many teleport skills. and you can spawn a clone and teleport to back. and he uses stealth or something. even if you know which one is real, you must fight against many illusions. it is not simple and easy like your opinion. it is impossible to know which one is real in fighting. he uses blink or stealth or something. and suddenly, i lose the real target(if you do ctrl+click on target, you can see the red thing. i mean the red thing is just gone.).
i think i found the reason why mesmer clones are OP.
red thing(ctrl+click) is gone when mesmer uses some skills or run away. and he comes back. i dont know which one is real.
I hope I’m not coming off as rude, but calling a class OP because you can’t kill them easily is not only an ignorant stance to take, its also childish. Each class has their own streangths and weaknesses. You need to learn to play to their weaknesses. There is a reason that you can change your utility skills out of combat. Learn to adapt to your opponents as they are doing to you. Builds are guidlines in this game…you need to be able to think on the fly. From many peoples posts about the OP of certain classes, they are coming to this game with the mindset of games like WoW, Rift, or SWtor. Sorry but that isnt’ how this game works. If you are unable to adapt and think on the fly, then this game is def not for you. This is a skill based game where quick thinking and fast reaction time is a must have in all aspects of the game. You can be up against the same class with same gear and same skills but if that player is more skilled with their class and understands how they work they will destroy you. Same goes for any other class. Play to their weaknesses. There is no “I Win” button in this game. It’s whether or not you have the willingness to think outside the box.

Whoever’s bright idea it was to make it ok for tPVP to start as a 4v5, please think again. You are at a severe disadvantage compared to the other team. If you insist on leaving it as a 4v5 then compensate the other team for their lost time as that team will indeed lose.
I honestly think it was poor planning on Anets part and should be rethought. Bad form Anet….bad form. Hope this doesn’t come off as rude or anything. I apologize if it does. It is just very frustrating when it happens multiple times and there is nothing you can do about it.

The goal should never be to please everyone as that is an impossible goal. The goal should be to do your best and strive to do better next time. In the end all you can do is make yourself happy. Making someone else happy is a fruitless endeavor as you cannot make someone feel something they do not wish to feel.
I’m enjoying the game, no question.. just, was kinda hoping it would be more successful. I mean, sure it sold well at first, but it doesn’t look like it’s going to keep growing. I thought there was a good chance it would be the first MMO to do that, since, well, 2004.
Time will tell. It’s a Buy to Play model, which will always cause people to react in different ways. ArenaNet has pretty much lived up to everything that they had originally covered in their mission statements and from what they implied when they said that their “endgame” wouldn’t include a “traditional” raid progression system. This game is more about the “climb” in PvE and the WvW / PvP scene. All things considered, I thought that ArenaNet was relatively up front about that.
However many people expected there to be some kind of big “end game” scene and have become frustrated. If they had been following the MMO’s development for a while, then they would have realized that those were false expectations. Instead a massive amount of people jumped onto GW2 as the next big thing. Thus the general disappoint that many of the forum posters have projected.
Time will tell to see how the game will do. As a Buy to Play model, I see this game doing well and growing in the future. It will likely experience hot and cold periods where people will flip flop between GW2 and a 2nd MMO that has a more “traditional” level cap scene. However I really don’t think that this will be a major obstacle for GW2.
Very well said and true in all aspects of your post.
Achieving no goal other than fun is very different from other MMOs.
All my other online games help me lose weight and learn CSS as I play, unlike Guild Wars which merely provides me with imaginary items and events that have no real value.
If you don’t like the game, then why play it? Honest question. What is bringing you here if you are not in fact having fun? I keep playing as I enjoy the game, and find it fills a void that many other games have failed to fill. My main is only at lvl 70 and I don’t really care to get him higher as I’m working on other things (sPVP and WvW) and I am having a blast. Maybe you need to ask yourself…is this the game I thought it was going to be and depending on the answer maybe this game is or isn’t for you.
I fear you came in to this game with the wrong expectations. This game is not like any other MMO that are widely popular. This game builds on the original concept of the Guild Wars Franchise and if you are not familiar with the original GW then you most likely will not understand this game to the fullest extent. I hope I’m not coming off as elitest or rude as that is not my intention, but might I suggest you do some reading up on the original GW and what the developers wanted/designed for this game.
This game is like playing a 3d RTS game in an MMO style. Thats how I see it and about the best way I can describe it.
(edited by Zachariel.5463)
sPVP and tPVP are about working as a team to compete objectives and gaining more points than your opponent. You are coming to this game with the wrong mindset. You are coming in with the mindset that bigger numbers = better. That is not the case with this game. Working as a team is what this game is about to complete the objectives better than your opponents (yes while killing them). Its about skill level and the ability to anticipate your opponents moves. It is in and of itself a mind game. Are you up to the challenge?
I enjoy it. Its different then the regular grind type game like WoW, SWtor, and Rift. It plays to different peoples tastes. Will I keep coming back to this? I would have to say yes. I haven’t mastered my favorite class (don’t think I ever will) but that is my goal. Plus I don’t have to pay a monthly fee so I don’t feel bad about not playing for a few days as I’m not wasting money. I knew what I was signing up for when I purchased this game as I played the first game from the beginning. I’m not sure that many people that are complaining even knew what guild wars was about.
I’ve seen so many forum postings about how such and such class is OP or is UP lately, but I haven’t seen any (that I could find) just saying “Thank you”.
I know some classes are stronger than others in some ways and weaker in others compared to some classes. I honestly think some of it (if not most of it) is player skill when it comes to their class. Here is my thinking on this, a lot of the time people have favorites and different play styles that some characters either work for or they don’t. Me I love the feel of playing a mesmer. Many say they are UP due to it being easy for the opponents to figure out which one is real. To be honest this bugs me sometimes but then I remember…TERRAIN…use that pillar that is behind me to break line of sight and maybe they’ll not realize that i’m the real one so that my mirror blade can come off cool down and i can attack and summon another beserker so they can widdle down their health and make it difficult to hurt me.
Some say they are OP. I would agree some skills of the mesmer are stronger than others, but isn’t it our job as gamers to overcome obstacles and excel in tough situations? We as gamers would get very bored if everything was in perfect balance. There would be no learning of the different classes, no challenge to excel and better ourselves at our chosen class. It would be boring. Now some things may need a few tweaking I will admit and when the bugs in all the classes are figured out and cleansed, that disparity may be more apparent. I do have to say at this point in time, things are very well put together. Now I admit I may be a little biased as when it comes to other classes, well lets just say I am horrible at it. I haven’t leveled any other classes past 50 (two currently 47) besides my mesmer so I grew comfortable with him and know his quarks.
As I read these forums and see so many people screaming imbalance, I have to say, there is no such thing as perfect balance as that would just be plain boring and give no one any satisfaction as there would be no achievement. If you want perfect balance in a game there is a game for you (heres a shout out to one of my favorite game developers Morrello) Its called Take a Penny Give a Penny and you start with 20 pennies. No matter what you do, you always have the same number of pennies. Thats just boring and it leaves you with no sense of accomplishment.
So I say this, Good Job Developers. This game has only been out a month and the disparity between classes isn’t that large. It just gives people that extra incentive to push themselves to better their gameplay and knock around the mean ol warrior or shatter that dang mesmer. Yes there are some things that could possibly be tweak and the bugs def need fixed; but overall, I say very well done and thank you for bringing this game to us. We wouldn’t be here without you.
Be careful about 3rd party applications as Anet and NCsoft tend to be picky about things like this. I would PM a DEV about this and see if they will reply or send in a ticket to make sure you are not doing something that will get your account perm banned.
My question Frvwfr is, Do you want something fixed right? Or do you want something fixed right away causing more bugs because it wasn’t tested properly? Ask anyone that has done coding on this type of scale. There is no fast food equivelent to bug splatting. You tweek something here, you possibly change something over there. Sometimes its not pretty and you can’t rush it or you cause more problems. Learn patience. People are so dang needy.
I can’t download this to even look at it so I can’t honestly tell you. I’m just mostly going off of how I see this interatcting with the game. So to be honest my understand will most likely be flawed until i can get home and look at this more closely. And to be honest…when you say script I see it as something you have to put into the game files to actively use…which would be modifying the game files which Anet says is a no no…now if its a third party executable then no it doesn’t alter the files…ish.
Script in this case refers to a plaintext file that another program (in this case, the autohotkey.exe) reads, interprets and runs in much the same manner as many ‘scripting languages’ such as Python, Ruby, Perl, etc.
The reason you associate scripting with modifying game files is likely because many games themselves run ‘scripts’ in this manner, be they unique to the game or an established language (WOW uses Lua).
For your benefit, the script as described (not looking at the code) primarily does the following (other than the miscellaneous bookkeeping features for turning the ‘mode’ on and off, extra keybinds, etc.)
- Places the mouse in the center of the screen
– Holds down the right mouse button
– Changes the left mouse button to “Left Click” followed by the “1” key, and then “Escape”
– Probably also changes the skill keys in the same way.
– Creates a borderless always-on-top window in windows with a transparent reticle image in the center of the screen (the script only works in windowed fullscreen mode)
– Changes right mouse button to “Dodge”Again—I originally brought it up to show how ANet could implement controllers without having to change the game. I do not personally advocate or use the script and added notes to my posts immediately when concerns were voiced. I merely wish to properly describe the script so that people can make their own informed decisions.
I like talking to you…

So in actuality i’ve been arguing with you over your word choice ;-) granted I think the maker also calls it a script too can’t remember without goign back and looking.
(edited by Zachariel.5463)
Integrating seamlessly with GW2..thats what the maker says…thats what concerns me about possible game coding manipulation.
I am currently unable to view the youtube video as I’m at work in a hospital and its blocked so I cannot view how it inteacts with guildwars but to my knowledge…addons were just that..addons to the current game files that manipulate certain thing within the game world to give a benefit in some way to the player.
(edited by Zachariel.5463)
Here is a post on interaction between the maker of this mod and Gaile a CC here from Anet about this. This mod treds very closely (possibly too closely) to giving an advantage to a player that utilizes this software.
Did you look at the features of what this does? It gives you more keybinds. So in affect yes it does change the game coding outside what Anet and NCsoft intended which yes will get you banned. So yes I did look at it.
The script itself does mess with the UI to give an advantage over the lay player. It in all likelyhood would trigger their detection software (or should they ever take a close look at your account/game data) causing you to lose your account eventually.
Also it alters the game coding…which is very bad JUJU. Nobody like bad juju.

I will usually kick them from the guild after awhile as we need people representing in order to gain influence so we can have those nice little bonuses that peopel ABSOLUTELY RAVE about. Sadly this isn’t a system where you can have your cake and eat it to. There is still guild exclusivety and unfortunately not many poeple get that. Just because you can be in multiple guilds..doesn’t mean you will be allowed by your guild cause in the end if you aren’t willing to help your guild mates get that influence to have those nice little bonuses then you are inevitably mooching off other peoples hard work, which any self respecting guild will not allow for long.
You will find this game extremely difficult if you try to use a controller to play as many skills require the use of you actually targeting wit the cursor to place (necro wells come to mind first). So while you may be use to using controllers to play your games, this is one game that you will most likely see no controller settings for ever.
If they did indeed allow controller settings they would have to remove the placeable wells as you are unable to reliably control well placement using said controller as you can with a mouse. I hate to say this, but maybe this game is not for your playstyle.
Actually, it could be done with the combat mode script and could be integrated into the game in that manner long before they would have to consider removing skills. to support it.
The the OP: the combination of the above script and joy2key will probably get you rolling.
Also just a forwarning, most games have programs built in to check to see if you are running 3rd party programs (teamspeak gives you a nice warning about their overlay due to it being seen as a third party program by some games) and if you are caught you will lose your account. While you may see this as worth it, it only takes one report (maybe you anger someone in pvp) to ruin months of time and you are now out 60 dollars (plus any other money you put into the game). So my advice…don’t do something stupid that is against the EULA like using third party programs to alter your UI or any mechanics of the game without express permission of Anet/NCsoft.
As they have said before in past game updates. They were giving suspensions for 3rd party programs/botting, but I do believe they have now started full on perm bans for the infractions from what I’ve been seeing on the forums of people crying about.

Using any third party programs that give an edge over another player will get you banned. So i would not be encouraging that behavior. Also, using a gamepad to play could be used in an unfair advantage (specially if you are using third party programs in conjunction with the game pad to give yourself an edge). It is one reason they (while I cannot say with 100% certainty) won’t allow macros as they can cause major issues (specially in pvp as half this game is pvp).
I would have to agree, but it could also cause issues in my opinion. Granted it is fun to kill your friend/boyfriend (as i have done to his chagrin ;-)) and sometimes its great to have them on your team. But mostly overall I wish they had this too.

Thats really annoying and pretty lame
Glad I’m not the only one who feels this way.
I agree with Gaile..sometimes the best thing to do is have a fresh start. Yes it can be a pain, but this way you know exactly what is going on your computer and know what sites you have been to in the process of getting it re-setup. Helps limit the possability of getting re-infected.
All other games I logged into to check to see if my connection was hanging at all as I play wireless, and nothing happens to show that it is my connection. I keep getting network lag and disconnnected whenever I am able to log in with the GW2 client. Has happened since last nights update.
Its freakin creepy. I am always screaming “KILL IT. KILL IT” When they run at me. My friends on mumble make fun of me. You try to not get freaked out after have a Zombie Dream while taking Chantix.
On the thief skills it gives the option for the “Duel skill” to be depending on your offhand. It has one for Dagger, pistol, and Off-Hand light. What is off-hand light? I was thinking sword but on any sword it only says main hand. It has a skill described already for pistole and dagger so what is this third? is it a bug?
I have also noticed that there seems to be a cap on doing events. The experience, karma, and silver rewards seem to stop being worth doing in lower level zones after awhile which makes running with low level friends or clearing hearts more of a chore then it should be and takes the fun out of helping friends or clearing a low lvl area you skipped. Don’t know if it is working as intended or not but doesn’t make me want to offer my help to low level friends, or guild mates as their is no reward outside of the fuzzy warm feeling of helping someone out….I want my shiny lol
Ok this is how I see it as I am the represent enforcer in our guild. By not representing in our guild but in another guild, you give the impression that you are mooching off of other players due to the bonuses that can be employed at any given time by guild management. While another guild may have more bonsuses going then the main one you are in, representing another guild does nothing for your main guild as you are not getting influence for that guild. I will almost always kick someone if they do not understand that guild hopping because of bonuses is not OK. It gives the impression you do not care about your fellow guild mates and not want to better the guild as a whole. It gives the impression that you are selfish and only out for yourself. That does not make a guild member.
I’ve had people rant at me because I’m being a “Guild Representer Nazi”, but you know what? I’m looking out for everyones interests in the guild. Do you want to have someone that only talks in guild chat when we have a magic find boost weekend and the rest of the time acts like you don’t exist, or do you want someone that goes out of their way to help the guild and make it possible to have those magic find weekends by representing at all times across all characters.
I have noticed that many botters seem to be staying in the game. Do they need to hire more GM’s to be able to pop in and be able to ban players personally?
I’m sure they have a list of places that are routinely farmed and exploited…why not randomly pop in and ban the bots then move on..sooner or later all those gold farmers are gonna leave as its not profitable to be playing a game you constantly have to shuck 60 bucks for but get banned for a week later once you’re high enough level to farm certain areas.
Please add a confirmation to the guild kick option. Its really embaressing when you are trying to click add friend or something and you accidently hit “Remove from Guild” instead. That’s an awkward conversation to have, “Hey sorry, meant to add you as a friend, not kick you from the guild…Besties?”
Just a suggestion.
I’m on Sorrows Furnace and in the kessix event, I’ve been whitnessing usually a group of four people running in sync usually in an x pattern. When mobs show up, they stop in sync and start attacking.
Now my first thought was they are botting, but having four to five different toons (all dressed the same) attacking in sync and running in sync screams hacking. I reported it and sent in a screen shot but as soon i reported the original 4…5 more showed up. Tried to report them but they keep running around.
Hey all, it is my fault the updates to those 3 dungeon chains did not get into to the notes. There is a lot going on right now and as we establish our patch process sometimes things will slip through the cracks. I wanted to shed some light on the dungeon speed clear stuff as well. You should not see any diminished returns unless you.
1) Run the same exact chain over twice in a row
2) Complete multiple dungeons in 30 minutes or less each.We also reduced the rewards of completing story mode, once you have already completed it, because the rewards for story mode were never intended to be a high as they were.
At this time, dungeons should one of the most efficient ways to level and get gold, and it is not our intention to make them feel like a grind. This is a very large game, and we have a lot of people playing it in many different ways. Right now we are working hard to make sure there are not any ways for players to circumvent the normal rewards in the game and then we will be able to look at the actual rewards and make sure they require a reasonable amount of investment.
Dungeons are meant to be difficult and we will continue to update them to try and reach a point where the time invested to XP/Gold/Tokens is similar for each dungeon. Some right now are just too easy to complete while others may be too hard. Moving forward we will try and post more clear change notes for those dungeons we do fix.
Thanks for your feedback, we really appreciate your desire to help us keep improving on the game.
Jon
You sir are full of it. The xp is crap even if you haven’t completed the dungeon in hours. I just completed CM for the first time in four hours and I recveived 16k xp and 4 silver for my troubles. Complete waste of time to even do dungeons as you get better rewards doing events. Well I won’t be (and many of my guild mates also) won’t be doing your dungeons anymore due to the total lack of rewards for doing them. Not worth the time, frustration, and money required to do them.
EDIT: Also would like to point out I was running on my 61 mesmer from before was getting 50-60 k xp per completion…now only getting crap rewards. Total waste of time to run them. Not to mention the money rewards are totally worthless…don’t even cover repair costs.
@zach ah, I see they’ve removed it. Yeh, I agree that is overkill. Just locking it and letting it get snowed under by the hundreds of other topics about the subject would have been better. When I wrote this, I thought it was only locked.
I assumed you did, why I replied ;-)
The problem with petitions is that you only reach one part of the communty. “Sign this petition against A” will only attract people who are against A, while maybe there is option B and C as well. In this case, it was asking for a complete rollback. While I agree that there should be a balance between reward and effort, I do not agree with a full rollback, because I do feel that being able to farm a dungeon was not the way it was meant to be.
So you won’t see my name on that petition. Other solutions get ignored. Players with other opinions get ignored. And by doing a petition, players may (wrongly) feel that they will get their way, if they only get enough signatures.
That is why petitions are forbidden on any game forum – not just this one. It has nothing to do with censorship. You are not forbidden to voice your opinion. But creating a petition gives skewed expectations that cannot be fulfilled, and is therefore useless.
That may be, but locking/deleting a post should be the last resort for any kind of moderator and should not be taken lightly as the backlash can and usually does cost you something in the end.
True, but in this case, there are tons of threads about the subject. I suspect there will be a lot of merging and locking done in the next few hours.
Petition threads are not discussion threads and pretty useless for the reasons I stated above. How would you handle it without locking? Let 100 people only say /sign? That is not discussion or constructive criticism, that is spam.
As many game forums do…let them say sign and be on their merry way. Or just lock it. NEVER Delete a thread. Never. It is horrible customer service and shows that your opinion supercedes any of the players opinions (while it may be true, shoving it in our face however is not a smart way. You don’t poke bears in a zoo.)
This is the stuff that turns into bad press real fast. And if you haven’t learned it already, MMO players are the most fickle and finicky game players. You have a small window to impress with your service. It doesn’t matter one bit how beautiful your world is, how compelling your combat is, or how immersive and fun your game experience is. If your communication with players is lacking, if your communication with players is hostile, if your players do not trust or even worse if they are afraid to play your game for fear of being labelled exploiter or cheater… nobody is going to play it.
I’m sorry if my original response seemed to brand those that may have benefited from these as cheaters or exploiters, it was not intended to be read that way.
You sir just committed the cardinal sin of customer service, blaming the consumer. You may have not intended it that way, but you indeed wrote it that way.
You have moderators deleting posts (which should never be allowed, locked yes, delete never). You by your own hand, whether intentional or not, have called many of the player base cheaters and or exploiters. You single handedly angered many where perception is EVERYTHING.
By nerfing this and buffing the difficulty of many of the dungeons, you have made this game dang near a solo game. Heart farming is a solo job. Dungeons were a great place to do stuff as a team. Now many of them are just a pain in the rear to do with very little reward at all. This single decision could very well hurt your game immensely. There is a reason people don’t do AC but once. Now its the same reason for many of the dungeons. Very little reward, but the pain, time, and frustration it takes to complete it. The big complaint about SWtor was it being a solo game. You’ve been out less then a month and you pretty much just made SWtor (but without the lightsabers…and a better story).

Deleting and or locking threads is a great way to anger/alienate your player base community. In all honesty, that should be the last resort. It is also a great way to end up losing your job as a moderator as who do you think is going to be the scape goat when the backlash blows up in your face? Sorry, just stating the obvious.
Like I said, there are better ways they could have handled this situation. And to be honest, they should have done something first about those AFK botters at the kessex bridge. They completely nerf a fun aspect of the game into the ground, one you actually have to work for, while leaving one aspect where you can set up your computer and walk away and not work for at all. Yeah that makes so much sense.
This was poorly thought out for the xp limiter for the dungeons. You increased the difficulty of the dungeon and then made it worthless to run. I can understand the limiting of the number of times you can run a dungeon in a days time, that would make sense. That I can understand. What I can not understand is increase the difficulty, then nerf the end rewards. My repairs cost more then I received. Not to mention the drops in your “Dungeons” are abysmal to begin with and from running CM, did not improve.
I, along with many enjoyed running CM as it was actually fun to run and did not get old. You have now relegated this dungeon (for me and many others) to AC status.
Ok so not sure if this is actually a bug or not but I have spoken with those in my guild and I’m not the only one this happens to (although we are unsure if it is just because we lose track of it or not or if it does indeed go stealth).
The cursor.
It likes to stealth during combat at inconsistent times making it difficult to use your mouse target skills (can’t remember what they are called). I am unsure if it is due to the color of the cursor (off brown color) and the size of it making it difficult to track with the eye. I don’t know if a different color would be more appropriate with a different size or shape but it does make it difficult as those few seconds you are looking for your cursor as you wiggle it around can spell life or death (like in PVP).
I hope this is looked at as it does make the game frustrating at times (specially from someone who isn’t very good at PVP anyway, it just makes it more stressfull and thats from talking from experience…i’ve cussed at my screen more times in the past two days then I ever did playing league of legends which isnt’ a good thing).
Thank you for reading
TLDR: Cursor goes poof at the most inoppertune times
