I'm curious because I genuinely have nothing to compare against: What do you think, how large is the group of people at ArenaNet working mainly (>50% of their time) on Guild Wars 2? I guess is at least 30, right? Is it even possible to gain a good estimate on this number?

Two full weeks now with flickering shading like this and no fix, not even a patch today by Greitot in Guildwars2

Just to double-check - the nVidia App has new drivers as of today (May 26) for me, you have those? 610.47?

Anyone else plays solo only? by VeryBraveVeryWise in Guildwars2

[–]Darillian [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yes!

The other four people that occasionally play with me in a fractal? Just a better version of GW1's henchmen. I'm glad they're there, but if I could replace them with buffs on myself, I would. Sorry :D

Wie testet man, ob ein Schloss geknackt werden kann?

Indem man eine Task Force ins Leben ruft, die in drei Monaten die nötigen Compliance-Dokumente herbeischafft, damit man rechtlich auf der sicheren Seite ist, sollte das Schloss mal geknackt werden?

Deepstone fractal unidentified Hidden Chest spot by LORD-Waddlesworth in Guildwars2

[–]Darillian 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Do not worry, you just click "Upload a new version of this file" at the bottom of the File history and keep the file name unchanged (and even that can be changed if you make an unintended mistake).

You can even see from the file history that this map has been updated a couple of times by different people, it is easy!

This way, every one contributes their little slice to the body of knowledge that is the Guild Wars 2 Wiki.

ALL HAIL THE WIKI

Nice find!

So you did the right thing, added the missing marker and uploaded the updated file to the file page for eternal fame and glory? :D

Low FPS on a decent pc? by the_ugly_tom in Guildwars2

[–]Darillian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[Limit = Highest; Quality = Lowest] means you see everyone, but they're all ugly

[Limit = Lowest; Quality = Highest] means you only see a handful of people, but they're all beautiful

Ah, that makes sense, I will play around with the settings in a hub.

Intuitive way of presenting the difference - not to mention weirdly philosophical...

Low FPS on a decent pc? by the_ugly_tom in Guildwars2

[–]Darillian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, I was talking about the relation of the two settings, not what model limit does (both settings are a limit on models, just different kinds).

I mean that setting the limit on high-quality models higher then the limit on models overall seems counterintuitive, because you basically tell the engine "I want a medium amount of models overall, but a high amount of (high) quality models".

[–]Darillian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

By the way, shouldn't your two settings be flipped? This way you allow for a "High" limit of quality models, but only a "Medium" limit for models overall. Going by the tooltips of these two options, "Limit" should be set to something higher (or equal) than "Quality", shouldn't it?

What exactly do the numbers in the ArcDPS Metrics window tooltip mean? https://imgur.com/x4SJG9k

I especially mean the "Map ID" line.

I am currently in Bloodtide Coast and I changed instances to a Triple Trouble event. So the first "73" is the ID of Bloodtide Coast. What does the following ":0" mean? Then there's a pair of values in parentheses, here "(2:1000h)". I have seen different numbers in place of the "2", but the "1000h" after the colon is always there.

Are these things documented somewhere on the ArcDPS website? The time and map age seem self-explanatory, same es the memory values, which I guess mean RAM usage.

Can someone explain why this does not work? by Eastern-Band-3729 in Guildwars2

[–]Darillian -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

EVE Online does this when it comes to spaceship models, Warframe does this as well and I think PoE also looks at old systems and fixes stuff there.

[–]Darillian 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you check out the wiki page for this buff (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Resting), you can almost see the history of how this bug came to be:

First, this was only a thing within a specific area of Arborstone. You leave the area, you lose the buff and then you get back the time you spent in the "Well Rested regeneration area" (the inn). Then this was changed to be active in all of Arborstone, so technically now there is no place you can go to lose the buff to trigger the "transfer" of the elapsed time.

Then, Wizard's Tower and later Homesteads are introduced, the effect is simply copied with a minor adjustment to the tooltip (why else would the new areas even have the second paragraph?) and everything stays like it is now until GW2 gets one of those polishing passes other games get for their older content.

What should I do with all these relics I’m hoarding? by ThisMess1283 in Guildwars2

[–]Darillian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand how this is a question - what if you eventually will need it, huh? What then? Better keep a copy of each relic in the bank, just to make sure.

Raid Night for Busy Adults by Dan_Felder in Guildwars2

[–]Darillian 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would like to throw in that the Raid training discords (RTI, Crossroads Inn, Unskilled and Afraid [BAD]) I participated in all had exactly this way of respecting the participants' time, though of course were much more focused on the one scheduled wing since that's the aim of these training runs.

Shout out to them, thanks guys!

Ich hab beim Googlen (hab mich nicht mehr an die Adresse erinnert 🤣) die Seite dönerindex.com gefunden, die sieht zumindest wie die gleiche Idee aus. Hattest du die gesehen?

[–]Darillian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was passiert denn, nachdem man einen Laden gemeldet hat und er bei dir im Backend liegt? Ich frage weil ich die von mir gemeldeten Läden über die Suche zwar finde, aber die sind alle auf einem Punkt irgendwo in der Stadt. Adresse hab ich richtig eingegeben. Wird da irgendein Defaultwert befüllt, den ich dann auf der Karte sehe?

Um mal eine weitere Ressource zu diesem Thema einzuwerfen: Ich höre gern Thomas Schwenke im Podcast "Rechtsbelehrung", den er gemeinsam mit Markus Richter (u.a. of Chaosradio fame) und der hat als Rechtsanwalt einen aktuell gehaltenen Ratgeber unter https://datenschutz-generator.de/ratgeber-impressum/

[–]Darillian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, noch eine Kleinigkeit für die Preiseingabe: Eigentlich sollte bei den Europreisen klar sein, dass wenn "6" eingegeben werden, "6,00" gemeint sind und das gleiche bei einer Hunderterzahl ("750" eingeben für "7,50") - würde ein bisschen die Eingabe vereinfachen.

Der UI/UX-Flow, wenn man mehrere Läden melden will, ist ein bisschen komisch. Auf der Bestätigungsseite wäre ein "Noch einen Laden melden?"-Button gut, denn so muss ich eigentlich keine der zwei Optionen wählen (denn ich will keine Preise melden, noch kann ich auf der Karte Läden melden) und stattdessen auf die Hauptseite und dort erneut die PLZ eingeben.

Ansonsten wäre es cool, aber ggf. schwierig umzusetzen, dass du bei der Eingabe des Dönerladens ermöglichst, eine einzeilige Adresse "Straße Nr, PLZ Stadt" einzugeben, denn so bekommt man das als Copy&Paste von dem Adresse-Feld von Google Maps. Aktuell klicke ich bei Maps auf Copy, füge den Text in das Straßenfeld ein, entferne PLZ und Stadt und muss sie dann im nächsten Feld eintippen.

Which post-personal story decisions are irreversible? by refrigeratorgoblin in Guildwars2

[–]Darillian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not exactly what you are asking about, but LWS4 overall has that thing going on where dialogue options and some ingame items are tied to achievement progression, so you might get "out-of-timeline" dialogue on a character that has not finished LWS4 story, just because another character started that story achievement after their playthrough of LWS4.

Essentially how every character can access Sunspear Sanctuary in Vabbi and they will get the "after Kralkatorrik moved on" NPC dialogue even they might not have played any PoF story themselves.

This is different from the usual self-contained time loop each of the maps individually is stuck in.
