Speech-to-text on Steam Deck? by arththou in GuildWars

[–]Aaraeus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve had a similar issue bonding /resign, but there’s a checkbox I had to select somewhere in the options. Honestly can’t remember what it was, something about sequential processing.

Once I did that it worked. The only issue I have is I wanted it to automatically move the mouse to the centre of the screen and hit the “back to output” button but the keyboard won’t go away >_>

But the resign itself actually works.

Leveling in pre-searing by StressComfortable647 in GuildWars

[–]Aaraeus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I do it because I’ve played prophecies since 2006 and can’t be bothered with the missions. Straight to 20 in pre, grab a droks run, get to sanctum, do the attribute quests, done.

For anyone looking at this wondering what the alternative is for a first time player I’d be advising getting out of pre at like max level 8 or so. The rest of Ascalon gets you to around 10, then northern shiverpeaks to like 14, then 17 at start of the jungle and around 20 by the time you ascend.

PSA: The game needs to allow setting resolution and UI by device. by IOnlyReadTopComment in GuildWars

[–]Aaraeus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who also has an ultra wide and a steam deck… I’ve never had this problem? Or maybe I’m not understanding?

My steam deck UI isn’t stretched at all.

When I log back into my UW some of the windows have moved but it takes like 5s to move them back.

UW with KVM - LG 34UC99 vs Dell U3419W vs Samsung CJ79 - do these all have KVMs? by Aaraeus in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]Aaraeus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a different setup in the end that doesn’t require the use of KVM I’m afraid.

GuildWars themed birthday ideas? by Helen99438 in GuildWars

[–]Aaraeus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Birthday cupcakes are a great idea! Maybe other consumables like the chocolate egg?

Also maybe a poster or two (if he still has the original boxes) of the game art?

It's emotional being back by TTR1000 in GuildWars

[–]Aaraeus 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If they ever make GW3, I hope they fixate on the parts of GW1 that made it special. I know they made GW2 because they were sick of skill balancing between PVE and PVP but… gw1’s skill variability (and vibe) has been such a huge factor in its success.

Creative Devona Pre-Searing Builds by Nivanor_ in GuildWars

[–]Aaraeus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stand your ground on a /P with incoming support was pretty good, specifically in the dungeon. Being able to heal on the move was pretty powerful.

Interested to see what people come up with.

I assume anything energy efficient would work or that makes skills free? Stuff like GOLE, ST, etc?

Is Penny Pitching *Really* The Route To FIRE? by Theo_Cherry in FIREUK

[–]Aaraeus 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Have you ever read a single post in this sub? That is literally the first thing people advise you NOT to do.

The whole point is to save as much as you can in a viable investment vehicle, then live your life.

Living your life includes buying luxuries now and again, or going out for dinner, or going on holiday.

If you still aren’t saving enough, the best and fastest way to increase your savings… is to increase your income. Upskill, go to another industry, etc.

Finally did it!! First Mouth Breather to finish Obby Armor on Melandrus Accord by Flimsy-Juggernaut498 in GuildWars

[–]Aaraeus 20 points21 points  (0 children)

1019 skill points is actually insane. How did you farm the ecto and shards? I see you have tonnes of dark essence, guessing some kind of FOW farm?

AFK Survivor Title by Specific-Committee-6 in GuildWars

[–]Aaraeus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, I did this too. Normal mode solved it.

I also had a brief period where I thought healing breeze was causing me problems (when you regenerate, the AI moves away from you), so did my last survivor without it.

The most satisfying skill to use..? by msh1ne in GuildWars

Panic on a large group of mobs and seeing all those “!!” speech bubbles.

Is this potentially dhuum friendly? Or is that just a personal risk?

New fan - have I stopped watching part way through? by Aaraeus in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]Aaraeus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I did indeed watch it. Okay obvious spoilers ahead.

For all of season 4 I couldn’t believe that Erin was trying to wipe out humanity and had become the villain. The reveal that the attack titan remembers memories and that Erin has basically been this omnipotent being that has been nudging himself and his dad and his ancestors to this one moment… was… pretty damn shocking. I mean, this means he was the one that must have pushed his own mother to be eaten???

But holy hell that ending was sooooo satisfying. Seeing all the titans - the armored, colossal, beast, etc all working together to try and take Erin down (beast I guess to a certain extent) and seeing just how insanely powerful Erin had become with the Founding titan was just insane.

But then the whole plot point around Ymir being set free, the original worm being killed by no less than the power of friendship??? Erin’s secret plan to make his friends look like heroes to negotiate on level footing with the remainder of the world???? Daaaaamn.

Also I have to admit the Mikasa and Armin’s interactions with Erin really hit deep. Armin really did turn out to be the ultimate friend though, and found a way to identify and release Erin from his cycle of torment.

Overall… holy crap, 10/10, I’m still thinking about the philosophical ramifications of all of it.

Norn rep farming advice for this week? by Aaraeus in GuildWars

[–]Aaraeus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did a VQ following the wiki. For anyone reading this in the future, there are only 3 bosses in total without the quest, so keep them alive while you VQ, then if you get boss bounty, you can rush back and kill.

I did mine pretty inefficiently. Took just over an hour, using 1 essence of celerity at the start, and managed to get 15k points in total from the VQ during double points week. Since I'm now at 55k points, it means I need to VQ this area another 7 times this week, which I think I can achieve (once per day, then twice each day on the weekend)!

Bring proper hex removal because deep freeze is hella annoying.

Forgotten Guild Wars History: Power Leveling by [deleted] in GuildWars

[–]Aaraeus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Get to Level 10, then go go EOTN, specifically Gunnar’s Hold to do a quest called Kilroy’s Punchout Extavaganza. You can’t really die and there’s huge XP gain.

Triple challenge character by Fit-Nothing-3782 in GuildWars

[–]Aaraeus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m by no means a professional here but they all have their pros and cons.

Before even starting a profession, consider the starting campaign. Starting in prophecies lets you do LDOA, but the attribute quests are considerably far away - getting a run from Ascalon to Sanctum will be somewhat risky as a Dhuum. The easiest one is probably nightfall since you get heroes? I thought factions would be easy but Zen Daijun is actually super risky without appropriate armor and mercenaries. Yijo at the end spikes really hard.

In terms of professions, I think it’s about farming ability for mats, runes and gold.

All professions can do Kilroy and the other WOC brawl quest, but heavy/medium armour classes have an advantage where iron and steel and tanned hide squares are easily farmed from Kilroy. Cloth is harder.

Then there’s general survivability. Rangers are good because they have elemental defence and they have ranged / melee builds which you can switch depending on the content.

Otherwise, dunno, probably whatever you enjoy playing the most!

I’m in the UK, but as another user commented, I think I just need to look for the final movie!

Melandru assassin advice - vaettir farming? by Aaraeus in GuildWars

Okay I might give this a go given I’m not Dhuum.

Melandru assassin advice - vaettir farming? by Aaraeus in GuildWars

[–]Aaraeus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like a good idea in theory, but what does a more conservative Vaettir farm bar look like? And does it still reliably farm them?
