First thing to do would be to make sure the .dat file has the appropriate permissions.

If it is from a NTFS Secured harddisk..wouldnt that cause access issues?

World Boss Proposal

and then waht happens? If all players can start a world boss, rumour spreads like the plague in the dark ages and you will end up with the same “overcrowded” issue. Although your idea is noble, I really think it doesnt work

Oh but I think I know what happened hehehe. Just assuming, but weren’t you trying to use the former bug on the TP whereas you could avoid huge listing fees by using a low offering price and thus avoid a high fee ?
For those of you not knowing…this bug was there for a long time, but had been fixed since (I believe) the september patch 2014

Tragedies happens every single day.
Going by this logic they would never be able to release anything at all, since it will always be possible to make a connection to said tragedy.

True, but on the other hand do you think they would of run this 7 days after 9/11? (this question is rhetorical by the way)

I missed the official sheet that mentions the timeframe after which it’s acceptable to forget about a tragedy, shrug it off, and continue joking about it without hurting anyone.

Can someone send it to me please?

I found it..it is in my imaginary world called “LaLaLand” ..now to find a way to send it to you…might take a while, sorry for that..

To someones loved ones.

gg.

This is a first for me defending lordkrall, but seriously dude why do you feel the deaths involved over a tragedy that was widely publicized demands extra empathy and special privileges compared to the several deaths that occur everyday but dont make for great click-bait for the media’s stories? Every death hurts someone somewhere, just because one story is popular enough to make international news doesnt mean the world should be careful not to reference the tragedy in the slightest. As many have said, why should bladed weapons be allowed in the game when everyday somewhere a life is taken by a knife.

+ 1…all these people are suddenly feeling victim somehow..and forgetting they are playing this game and virtually killing numerous enemies, birds, does, bears, boars, insects, fellow players, etc etc . Occasional Victim Behaviour, huge opportunistic QQ level.
Stop playing if you feel this being against your so called “principle”

If you think map completing the wubwub makes people want to stay there, you’re mad. It’s unbelievably unfun.

Wubwub daily achievements probably do more to get people in there than map completion ever did.

Stacking Black Lion Salvage Kits

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: metaldude.4132

metaldude.4132

Yes! Yes! Yes!

I have so many taking up space that it’s driving me crazy. I would love to have an option to stack them all up into one big kit that is similar to the mystic salvage kits and their 250 uses. Or maybe being able to mystic forge them into 100 use kits and then mystic forging those 100 use kits into 400 use kits. I need that space!

You are sitting on a gold mine there buddy..use them to salvage 80 exotics for insignia’s (as said earlier by someone) or ecto’s to obtain Crystalline dust (the ratio of getting Crystalline dust by BLSK is quite rewarding is my experience). Also obtain some luck on the side

Confessions

  • I dislike humans and warriors so much I once made a human warrior and ran around wearing only a feathered helmet. Not surprising I rarely died either. Once I got him to 80 I deleted him, thus beginning my sadistic ritual of always keeping one character slot open to make a human to abuse then delete when I hit 80. So far I have abused and murdered 47 humans….
  • I often wish I was any of my characters because my own life is so sad and unfulfilling….
  • ^ Because of that I will secretly do RP in areas none of my friends or guildies are in because they will make fun of me
  • I actually enjoy using most of the racial skills….
  • ^ I use those as part of my secret RP too
  • I often avoid killing ambient or non-hostile creatures unless they attack me first except dredge. I don’t know why but the sound they make when they die is extremely gratifying and I enjoy going out of my way to slaughter untold numbers of them for no reason other than personal gratification.
  • In WvW I will often troll warriors I defeat by downing them then running off and letting them almost revive and hit them once to stop the self revive. I will repeat this until they either vengeance or they ragequit. If they use vengeance I kite them in circles until they die but never hit them just to be a jerk.
  • Occasionally I will grab the orb in spirit watch and run with it forever or drop it in front of an enemy and pick it back up right before they get to it. Repeat as desired until it despawns.

Rather disturbing, I hope you live out your sadistic inclinations virtually only.

Seriously? You are replying THIS on a forum of a game which exist out of killing as much as possible on order to grow strong to be able to kill even faster/better/more on different maps ?
Surely you must be trolling… :P

The only thing special here is the fact that Abyss ( and the others in lesser way) is quite pricy on TP right now…and players are responsible for that (economy rules)
If hypothetically speaking all Shadow Dyes were only worth around 50 s, almost no-one would complain I think

Real life example..I would LOVE to get 5 uncommon dyes..as long as they are “gold”
So, getting the rares isn’t that special…getting the valuable ones is

Grind is still grind

metaldude.4132

You’re confusing “large/time-consuming task” with “grind.” Simply because it takes a long time to get all the requirements for something, doesn’t mean that doing so is a grind… unless you play in a grindy manner.

No I don’t. If you have to complete something 500 times, if you do it 500 times in 1 day or once a day over 500 days is not relevant. You still did a repetition. All examples I listed qualify as such.

Interesting approach…Is grinding considered being based on “time spent”, “number of actions” or being “repetitive” ?

Personally, I played the entire game solo. There is never a requirement to group up outside of dungeons and fractals. That said, playing with a group on most anything can really enrich your experience. I highly encourage you to find a guild of people you get along with and play with them doing whatever.

Trevor..by “the whole game” do you also mean your personal story ? I thought the last phase couldn’t be done solo, hence my question

Symke, if you like to see how it is done, you are welcome to join one of the guilds who are dedicated to tequatl kills.
I am one of the Turreteers of the FTF (Fsp Tequatl Fighters). I Assume seeing your name you might be from EU (and Netherlands..even Friesland to be more precise..since SYmke sounds Fries )
We fight Tequatl every day from 20:00 (Dutch time, but be available from 19:30 on since the map fills up real quick)). No representation required, only for the Tequatl event.

Being able to be on TeamSpeak is advisable, but not mandatory (as long as you are able to follow directions in map chat)

You’re welcome

What you DO:
Get DOWNED people up (which should be fast if zerk is playing compact and balanced)

What you DO NOT DO:
Rezz DEAD people. The time they need to respawn and get back in the fray almost equals the time needed for them to be rezzed.
In this case, it is DPS minus 1 player…
If you do rezz them, it is DPS minus 2 players. (the dead player and you rezzing instead of attacking)

Furthermore, there is a strategy to prevent dying underneath Tequila’s feet..it involves the players :

1. Dodge the waves
2. have CC removal (for fear)

And ALSO turreteers, which main tasks are:
1. Use turret skill 2 to lower tequila’s scales (PRIORITY ONE! )
2. Use Turret skill 3 on zerk(s) when AOE fields appear on them
3. Use Turret skill 4 & 5 to provide boons , both offensive as defensive
4. In between turret skill 1 to do just damage

Nope, its a feature. Onto the catload of CC and damage the attack traiol also blocks projectiles in a quite wide area around the trail, making it almost impossible to attack the Teragriff right after its rush from the side or behind.

What's the best and worst profession atm?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: metaldude.4132

metaldude.4132

Best all-round professions that can do something really well in all game modes:
Warrior
Guardian
Ele

Professions that are uneven and/or have design issues:
Ranger
Necro
Mesmer

That said, every profession is viable for everything in the game and has something unique and powerful about them, largely a matter of finding one you find fun (which can be difficult with the way Anet has leveling set up for people just starting the game).

I have no opinion on this, but I would like to compliment you on the perfect choice of words in your explanation. This is a school book text example of how to be constructive in replying to other peoples questions. I wish more people would do this instead of assuming, jumping to conclusions and judging negatively

For me the biggest problem by attacking a Terragrif is that when using a LB ranger, almost 60% of all shots do not hit…(and I do not mean “evaded” but simply dont hit)

Unacceptable...

Posted by: metaldude.4132

metaldude.4132

First of all, I do not mind bugs..they happen and will be solved.

I DO mind however the amount of it AND the fact that thousands of players are using this “system” on daily basis. If we should release our website with updates and the bug count should be this high..oh boy, we would be SOOO in trouble…(triple trouble to say the least :P )
The difference however is..our site is an “need to use” for our society..this is “JUST” a game..but still one who has a huge dedicated fanbase, so there are obligations to deliver at least a less buggier product.
