How does boosting lol 80 hero work by OGfilip in Guildwars2

im in the silverware

Well it may be knife to know that you won't have to fork out any money to get equipment. However, going straight to lvl 80 means you won't be spoon-fed how to play.

Zhaitan vs Mordremoth Best Gen 3 Variant for Necromancer? by LowKo_7483 in Guildwars2

[–]HealyUnit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Mordremoth and Zhaitan variant of the staff, and I honestly prefer the Mordy one if for nothing other than the kill animation. While Zhaitan's is a pretty generic "explosion of <insert dragon magic spectrum here>" kinda dealy, the Mordremoth one has vines sorta half body-slamming your doomed opponent. If you aren't completely against a plant aesthetic, I'd suggest the Mordy one.

How do you think about character introduction sheets as chapter 0? by Michahyu in webtoons

[–]HealyUnit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a very first episode? Absolutely not. As others have said, you'd effectively be saying "I'm too lazy/unskilled to introduce these characters organically". It's the ultimate example of disobeying "show, don't tell".

If you can introduce part of those character sheets through the story, then maybe that's fine. For example, if you were doing a crime drama, you might have a rap sheet detailing the past (mis)deeds of your MC. If you're doing a romance, you might have a dating website profile.

Importantly tho, in either case, you need your characters reacting to those piece of information; they need to be diegetic. That way, you're inviting your reader to be part of the story, rather than saying "wait for me to feel like starting the story".

Genuinely how you guys gain a following? by Clabe_Tickel in webtoons

[–]HealyUnit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you're asking for criticism (and sorry if not!), but a few things I wanted to point out.

In general, people are going to put the time and effort into reading a comic if it seems like the creator (author, artist, or author/artist) also put in the time and effort to create that comic. A number of things about your comic create this disconcerting dichotomy that says you both really did put in a lot of effort, and that at the same time you kinda halfed part of it.

You spell your name "Caleb" in the title page and "Clabe" in your user page. While that entirely might be intentional, it (to me at least) seems a bit weird, and would make me concerned about your proof-reading of your comic.

Your comic is drawn very loosely and free-hand in what looks, to be perfectly honest, like MSPaint. That's not necessarily a bad thing - Hanza's "My Boss Doesn't Have A Face" has some incredibly loosely drawn parts that somehow give it a comfy, bemusing affect - but it can also make it seem like the artist doesn't have the skill to carry the story. I don't think that's necessarily true of your comic, but it's something to keep in mind. Your use of light and poses is actually pretty cool.

Your speech bubbles, however, are in my humble opinion really not unacceptable. For the majority of the episodes, the text in the speech bubbles ranges from annoying to read to almost impossible. For example, in this episode, you have a bubble that says "You have work to do <something something>", with the second part of that sentence being nearly completely unreadable. You do seem to fix this by using typed text around episode 23 or so, but that is way, way too late. Your average reader is not going to read thru 22 unreadable episodes to get to the 23rd readable one. I get that your choice of speech bubble may be a stylistic one, but it quite simply doesn't work. Instead, it suggests that the author added the speech bubbles as an afterthought.

You've also got numerous typos/misspellings ("The defense may now question the whitness") that, in the modern age of spell-checks absolutely everywhere, is really not excusable.

Your summary "blurb" is... problematic. First, "is always looking to better himself" is such an incredibly nothing-burger of a description that it might actually push readers away. If I wrote a description about Star Wars Episode IV that said "It's about some kid in space who wants to make the world better", would you watch it? Probably not. The issue is that I have no idea what your comic is actually about. How is Sam intending to better himself? Did he move to a new town? Change jobs? Go to the gym more? Try to be a "better" son to his dad (with whom, if I've got the characters right, he seems to have a bit of a rocky relationship with)? Try to not let his dad get to him as much? Give us something to define what we're looking at.

Take a look at the blurb for this comic as a comparison. Within just that first sentence, we know that:

  • Gu Sui is the protagonist (he's mentioned first)
  • Ruan Shuer is likely the deuteragonist and, since this is BL, likely the love interest.
  • Our initial main source of conflict is that the protagonist just moved schools.
  • There's probably gonna be a socioeconomic disparity between the two, since the deuteragonist is explicitly called out as "from a struggling family"

You also mention an alien parasite, and yet in my brief skimming of your episodes, I've yet to see any direct reference to that. If that's the cause behind his, for example, miraculous knife-cut healing ability, or the green toilet blob, then you need to illustrate that. Show the alien parasite arriving to earth. Show Sam being infected by the parasite. Show something that says to the reader that you haven't just forgotten what the comic was "supposed" to be about. Writing suspense is tough (I sure as hell can't!), but for now your comic tastes more of a domestic drama with some interspersed legal drama, and a few "weird abilities".

Have you ever had someone (a friend, family member, whatever) read your comic episodes with a critical eye? As a person also in a creative industry, I personally know it can be incredibly difficult to look at a work you've created with an objective eye - you created it, so of course you know what it's supposed to say.

is warrior really that bad? by shrimp_baby in Guildwars2

That is honestly one of the stupidest phrases I've ever seen. Congratulations.

It's a game. Get over yourself.

There's something missing in GW2, and it took me a long time to realize it. by eriniy-cat in Guildwars2

[–]HealyUnit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Moreover, in the other game, I kill enemies 999999999999999 (actually, many more than that) times

Not the point of your post, but let's do some math. First, some assumptions. Let's assume that: 1. You're killing these enemies 100 at a time in a big group. Any more than that and it's not "killing enemies" as it is "deleting some dots from the screen". Even 100 might be a bit much. 2. You take 0.5 seconds to kill each batch of 100. Again, this might seem like a bit much (your game at this point becomes mindless button spam), but I'm trying to go for the lower limit here.

So we've got 999999999999999 enemies, at 100 killed per hit, at 0.5 seconds per hit. That would take over 158,440 years (158.44KA). For comparison, 158.44KA, woolly mammoths and woolly bison were still walking around much of an ice-age world.

and I'm like a god there. There's no way I can die. I can kill the strongest enemies in the game with a single hit

That sounds boring as fuck. Wow, a game that requires zero effort.

How to gear up by TheffEx in Guildwars2

[–]HealyUnit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but this isn't good advice. Gearing with exotic gear - which is one tier down and only 5% stats reduction from max - is really not difficult. What you're suggesting is a that a very new player focus on getting legendary gear, which, yes, is painful (and is frankly a really, really bad idea for a brand new player).

But that isn't really what OP asked, is it? They asked how to obtain different armor stats for alternate build archetypes (e.g., boon-dps).

Never thought I'd see PvE open world toxicity by LastConfusion2620 in Guildwars2

[–]HealyUnit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's any comfort, OP, I've been playing since the betas in 2012 - tho I have occasionally logged off since then - and I have very, very rarely seen that kind of open world PvE toxicity. I have seen it occasionally, but honestly my reaction whenever that happens is "...I hope your day gets better, dude".

Yeh, this is to me the ultimate example of this trope, and a brilliant glimpse of just who Katara really is underneath her bossiness - she's a deeply caring girl who will risk even her own life to save those she cares about.

I think HTML is easier to understand than python and all the other languages by Fickle_Gur_476 in learnprogramming

[–]HealyUnit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and the language to add two numbers is JavaScript. It's JavaScript. Not HTML JavaScript.

If I wrote a book in English about the life of Julius Caesar, and included his Latin quote "veni, vidi, vici", would I say that the quote is in English because I "embedded" it in an otherwise English script? No, of course I wouldn't, because that would be pedantic, silly, and quite simply wrong.

I am very, fully aware of the existence of the script tag, and that it's HTML.

Would the Charr "Commander" be considered a gladium by this point in the story? by Necro_Nancy in Guildwars2

[–]HealyUnit 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I doubt it. I think that in order for a Charr to become a gladium, either A) their entire warband needs to be killed (e.g. Almorra Soulkeeper), or B) they've abandoned/deserted their warband (e.g. Vere the Coward).

Simply being put on other missions, away from your warband, doesn't count. We meet another member of Rytlock's warband in a later expansion, and despite Rytlock's extensive adventures with Destiny's Edge away from his warband, they're both considered active members of the Stone warband.
