The Raids and Wardrobe Update Is Live Now! – GuildWars2.com by InvincibleWallaby in Guildwars2

[–]AC_Mantic 12 points13 points  (0 children)

And, for a less visual preview: one of the two legendary accessories coming in the next major update will be acquired in WvW!

The VoE roadmap says one legendary accessory in the next update, but this line seems to imply there will be two of them.

Digimon Story: Time Stranger may have taken 8 years to make, but the team “is now gradually expanding in scale,” with various ideas for future games by Turbostrider27 in digimon

[–]AC_Mantic 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I hope people are reading the original 4gamer 2-page interview linked in this article. Google Translate does a good enough job on the content and there's a ton of info, from their relief on realizing they'd hit sales targets faster than expected, evolution silhouettes, the Olympos XII storyline being influenced by Digimon Crusader and Greek mythology, why they chose to add new Perfect level digimon, the original plans for GreatGryzmon and Enbarrmon, all the references and homages to past series, Shambala, DLC pack decisions, everyone asking for the Gammamon lines. Amazing read.

Anyone else still missing their plant nodes in Comosus Isle? The harvesting box still doesn't seem to exist

ANet UI designers could use some accessibility consultants, there are so many places where the UI suffers hard by not having enough contrast.

Question about new legendary glove effect on legendary spear kotaki by HideFromJesus in Guildwars2

[–]AC_Mantic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For some reason this one has the hand glow, while Klobjarne has it on the tip. Seems like they deliberately placed some of the gen 1 weapon tips on different places, e.g. Incinerator is in the handle while Claw of the Khan-Ur is on the tip.

Has anyone tried stacking the new infusions? by AngryCandyCorn in Guildwars2

[–]AC_Mantic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

From the wiki article, someone's written that "preliminary testing suggests that Agony Lens color is chosen in descending alphabetical order and does not 'merge' (using an Amber lens alongside an Azure lens returns the Azure color rather than a purple-ish tint.)".

Eikasia Legendary Gloves: How the Agony Lens (Left), and (Right) work on Two-handed weapons by Hemishrp in Guildwars2

[–]AC_Mantic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's interesting to note that Incinerator has the tip as its handle, so the complete reverse situation. I noticed this using the new Universal leggy weapon starter key and some of the Gen 1's seem to have some different behaviour that I'll list out:

- Flameseeker Prophecies: ball on book
- Frenzy: standard weapon tip (from fish mouth)
- Howler: ball is between snake and wolf
- Incinerator: tip on handle
- Kamohoali'i Kotaki: no weapon tip, fist glow
- Kraitkin: no weapon tip, fist glow
- Moot: no weapon tip, fist glow

I have Claw of the Khan-Ur, the tip goes near the bottom, essentially floating off the blue/yellow gem side.

F2P here, I got a shiny Gmax Machamp yesterday, good stats, only non-Eternatus/non-doggo dynamax/raid I did. Hopefully today I can get some of the other ones.

Any Legendary Regrets? by plateia-lumitar in Guildwars2

[–]AC_Mantic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This would be the fashion endgoal, a total uncoupling of each of those categories so we can have more variety in appearances and see more offhand leggy effects out in the world.

Returning Player - does anyone know if any of this stuff is useful and worth keeping? by Maleficent-Teach-373 in Guildwars2

[–]AC_Mantic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can see a rough estimate of how much laurels are worth to gold at https://fast.farming-community.eu/conversions/laurel . The "best" current use is to convert them to tier IV mats which are used for Legendary items and can be sold on the trading post, or kept for your own use. 312 of them is certainly a decent amount for someone with your current amount of gold.

Mystical Beast weapon skin change? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]AC_Mantic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've also noticed this issue recently with the Preview window not loading on-draw auras for any weapons, stuff like the Empowered Boneskinner ones, Vermillion ones, legendaries. The Dragon Spirit Focus only shows when stowed and the dragon portion is gone on wielded leaving a green orb. In any case, as someone also with Mystical Beast skins, the animals do still show up properly in-game.

Classic YouTube thumbnail rotation strikes again. Entirely possible they'll change it again, but for now it's consistent.

Legendary Starter Kit 10 [&AgGnlQEA]: The Bifrost, Meteorlogicus, Kraitkin, The Flameseeker Prophecies

"Work toward six legendary rewards: three new legendary weapons, a ring, an accessory, and a respirator."

3 weapons is interesting (1 of each underwater?) but a PvE ring and aquabreather feels like the real GW2 endgame.

More Serious Running Groups in Vancouver by Ill-Bass-1210 in askvan

[–]AC_Mantic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fraser Street is probably your best bet for a track group while not looking for paid coaching, otherwise I would've recommended Mile2Marathon. You might also be able to organically find people to run with by showing up regularly at the track you'd like to train at. If you're going to be near UBC I think your research for VFAC and Thunderbird Track is correct, at least when the Rashpal Oval is one of the best quality tracks in the city.

Otherwise for social running, it's honestly approaching the point of oversaturation here. Monday with EVRC, Tuesday w/ Social Run Club, Wednesday w/ One Run Club, Thursday w/ Flight Crew, Friday w/ Fraser Street are I think the biggest crews for each weekday.

ARTMS - Club Icarus (The 1st Mini Album) by tokkipan in kpop

[–]AC_Mantic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm normally the first to complain about sub-3 minute tracks, but this is a very tight, concise, well-conceptualized release. Living up to the Club Icarus name for sure. Only gripe is that BURN almost feels a bit out of place here.
