I set it up and it asked me once, and I did a cool thing where I scanned a QR on the screen. Worked nice.

I’m curious as to why everyone is being challenged so much?

When was the last time anyone got one out of a Sprocket Generator ?

Granted, I have enough of a collection in the bank if I was ever so inclined to make one again, and yes, it was something I ended up deleting, but at the same time, it is something it’s supposed to do.

I think it’s been weeks since I’ve gotten one, and was curious if they shut it off and why, or if I’m just on a crazy RNG streak? Though, conversely, I have been getting some nice things from World Bosses as of late, so it’s hard to complain too much.

About gw2 music and music folder

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: notebene.3190

notebene.3190

forgot to ask, what if I create the folder and I only put a playlist for nighttime? would that work to only pick music from the folder when it needs to use nighttime? or if I create the folder I need to put all playlists in there or I will have silence when it needs a missing playlist?

I think if you don’t have a specific list, it plays the internal one.

About gw2 music and music folder

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: notebene.3190

notebene.3190

It doesn’t exist by default, you create it.

I used this to learn how to do it. Unless you download some of the original in game music and mix it into your custom play lists, then it’s been my experience it doesn’t play. If I feel like listening to the original music, I’ll rename my ‘music’ folder to ‘music custom’, and restart the game. If I feel like listening to my custom music, then I rename ‘music custom’ back to ‘music’ and restart the game.

I suppose you could include original music by incorporating it into your play lists, though I don’t know how to go about acquiring it.

Not enough concern given to male characters

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: notebene.3190

notebene.3190

As long as this discussion is about choices and options, I’m all for it.

The minute it turns into a discussion about needing to take things away from people, rather than providing mechanisms for everyone to get what they want (including, but not limited to, adding visual filters that work like chat filters, for anyone that just doesn’t want to look at it … even going so far as making it work like a ‘block’ feature, if someone is so caught up in whatever it is they are caught up in that makes them want to refuse to see me as I want to see me, but if they and their friends want to look like it, it’s OK), then I’m out.

And even with some sort of visual block filter, it’s not enough, and an affected party demands it be taken away from me, then I … just don’t even understand that, on any sort of human level, wanting to deny something to someone that has nothing to do with them. Me wanting to see my character as I want to see it has nothing to do with anything larger than just that: wanting to make my hero how I’d like to make my hero. It doesn’t mean anything else. It’s not a slippery slope. I didn’t draw a picture of Muhammad. It’s not a war on Christmas. Me wanting to see a little character on a screen the way I’d like doesn’t affect salaries, nor does it disprove that Jesus brought the Constitution down from Mt. Rushmore riding his raptor.

It’s just my character.

So yeah, choices and options for all, you bet!

To add to 2, I think, or maybe a 3, I don’t remember the TP moving back to the top of the list ‘every single time you sell something’. It’s annoying. I could have sworn it remembered where you were each time and didn’t roll the list back up to the top each time.

My bags are laid out in such a way that much of what I need to sell is in the middle of the list, and having to scroll back down after each sale is not terribly productive.

I could have sworn it used to not do that.

World Boss Targeting

Posted by: notebene.3190

notebene.3190

Is it me, or has that thing where they ‘helped’ with world boss targeting been removed? I’m not talking about clicking on the event health bar UI thing to target, but the stuff they added to give it priority and to make it more ‘sticky’ so you wouldn’t lose the target once you had it? It’s been awful for me since the last patch.

Old vertical camera position

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: notebene.3190

notebene.3190

On the one hand, I’m glad they are giving us these options.

On the other hand, it’s really, really frustrating having to futz with things to try and get something that works each time.

Not only am I struggling with this slider, but it seems to have affected how the Zoom Sensitivity works.

Edit: Whew, think I got it.

Now, back up to ‘one the one hand’: Thank you!

P.S. – Could we get an option to enable/disable automatically adjusting the camera, to our near/far settings, when we perform activities like sit, sleep, kneel, etc (though probably not dead)? Can’t ever get a close up of that.

For me records…

People have the right to complain about it. They shouldn’t be subjected to personal attacks because they don’t like an annoying ad.

I agree with your sentiment, especially since the OP posted it as a very benign, non-antagonistic statement and questions.

Though there are subsequent posts by other folks which seem a bit silly, and I don’t mind seeing the string fly.

Play for Free Confirmed [merged]

I guess I understood, way back when, people not wanting to pay for a subscription on top of paying for the game. While the model never bothered me (and the way ‘some’ cash shops work, not GW2’s or MH’s, but rather maybe AA, I rather miss paying a sub and just getting all the clothes and houses and what have you with that sub), I could always see why it was a turn off for some folks.

I’ve never understood not being willing to pay for a core game itself. Especially a game that offers far more than 40-45 hours of play for your $50-60, like Tomb Raider, or Mad Metal Solid Halo Max Gear Duty 16: Shoot Cops and Beat Up Women Platinum Edition.

The electro lemon looks interesting, if I got lucky and got one of those. I wear yellow on a few characters that roughly that same color, and it would really make it pop (based on the previews I did).

I can’t decide which dye pack to pick. I bought one of those super black dyes for 200g maybe 3 weeks ago when I started playing again (well, more often then logging in and just doing enough to cover the daily), so I don’t need that black dye (unless there are other nice options in that to get).

Any of them have more interesting dyes than others?

Except I thought they used to change it around based on matching us up above and below our ‘set’ group of 3 closest to us in ranking?

So like this

We are 12, so normally we’d match against 10 and 11, which we are this week, and 10 and 11 are switched, but we’re still in the 12 ‘red’ spot.

I’ve seen other weeks where we might be fighting the 13,14 folks (I think?), or maybe just one of them and one in our bracket, and again, we’re red.

There’s gotta be some sort of insurance plan to knock you out into some blue or green spaces, regardless of who you are matched up with that week, if you’ve had a streak of ‘n’ reds in a row?

I don’t really visit this forum much, and I’m not really interested in trying to use their handicapped searching (something -site:blahblah -grep -pewpew /prices /erflik —++QQ 1!ELEVEN2?TWO), so apologize if this has been asked and answered.

We don’t change colors any more? Like the past two months, my server (eBay) has been red. Before that, there was a nice long stretch where our color changed almost every week, with the occasional back-to-back same color weeks.

Is that an intentional change, or just something about their matching and color assignment system that has got us stuck in some sort of rut? Should there be some sort of ‘courtesy color’ change built into the system?

Anyone having weird lighting issues lately?

Thanks.

Noticing everything seems really dark, like running around in Queensdale in the sun used to be … different. It was lighting. I suppose I could change the contrast on the TV, but then I’d have to set it back for all my other games.

It’s one of the new settings. You can toggle it off in your Options if you wish. I don’t recall the exact name but the designed behavior is to have your camera adjust like eyes do when moving between light levels.

The other new setting is ambient occlusion, I think that has something to do with light coming past edges of things.

And my ambient is off.

Did they happen to mention, like they did with all the other camera settings when they introduced those, what they should be set to so it behaves as it used to?

Edit: I guess I’ll just reverse them and see what happens:

Ambient: On
Light Ad: Off

I do, and it’s on, is that a new setting and they added it and turned it on by default?

Like when you zone into a new area, it’s kinda dark, and then brightens up? Or just standing around in some sunny areas don’t seem bright enough?

I suppose it’s possible I got another bum Vizio TV OS update that messed things up (they finally fixed the auto dimming issue), but what’s weird is it doesn’t seem to be affecting any of the other games I’m playing, just this one.

Did we get a new display setting maybe?
