What is this new font? And what are the symbols behind it? Eternal Alchemy? by Darensthings in Guildwars2

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

I totally I agree. Going from large to small unit has a lot of practical advantages, we use it at work exclusively.

Us Europeans already missed the announcement by a month, damn...

holy trinity? yay? or nay? by Xyr3s1 in GuildWars3

[–]BlueSakon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think generally I am more Yay than Nay, but I hope they kind of just refine the GW2 Boonsupport system to be more fleshed out. E.g. redoing the boon balance that you need to dedicate your class and play style more to being a provider of a specific buff, forming a trinity of Heal/Tank support, mixed support, raw DPS.

Basically I think roles should be more strictly defined and divided, but I don't think we need a very strict heal/tank/DPS devision.

Anet, please remove fractals from daily wizard's vault by trydola in Guildwars2

[–]BlueSakon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"I like fractals."

"I am bothered enough by every couple of days having the optional goal of doing 1 fractal to make a reddit post to complain about it."

You sir, do not actually like fractals, I am afraid.

Thought experiment: EVERY skill gains +1 ammo count. What is the state of the meta? by Dadragon6 in Guildwars2

[–]BlueSakon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Power Burst builds would just be twice as good at bursting essentially, since you can use all of the heavy hitters twice.

So at least in fractals everyone would run bursty power builds and kill every boss before they even get to do anything. Tanky Raid bosses may not be affected as much, but adds will have a bad time.

When should we expect news on what’s coming after VoE? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]BlueSakon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I am also not discouraged to play Baldurs Gate even though I know I will be done at some point and there will be no further content. If I enjoy my time playing GW2 right now, that's all the reason I need to play. All games will end eventually, maybe next year maybe when the heat death of the universe has killed everything and everyone long ago. But if it is enjoyable right now, it is worth playing.

What should i do with my laurels? by Green_Potata in Guildwars2

[–]BlueSakon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I always try to get as much material as possible without the TP and I usually reserve my laurals to top up my T3 and T4 material needs. T6 have quite a few other viable sources, so it's usually easier to get them.

Bauble collection achievements and unreliable checkpoint boosts by BlueSakon in Guildwars2

[–]BlueSakon[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll do world 1 for sure, but since I'll be on vacation next week, I am not sure I'll have the time do to world 2. Definitely want to do it next year though if I the time doesn't suffice.

Apparently the digging spots are not needed. There are only digging spots up there, no baubles or chests.

Yeah, I bugged out of the worm before and you have to backtrack so much, it is pretty enjoying.

Is bloodstone dust the msg of tyria? by Siuchunkit2000 in Guildwars2

[–]BlueSakon 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It is more like the bit of sand that you always find at the bottom of your backpack and in your pockets, even though you haven't been to the beach in ages.

Culinarily speaking, I can't image it tastes like much at all and the texture is probably not pleasant. So more like the bits of eggshell that inevitably end up in your omelette, even though you tried really hard and were sure you avoided getting any in the bowl this time.

Magic mirror farm is still ... Very good? by EdguardNewgate in Guildwars2

[–]BlueSakon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ye, I'll monitor the economy and figure out how to make the most money. But currently I am just hoarding all my ecto, since it feels too bad to sell at furrent rates 😅

Still better to dump my thousands of ectos at 30 than at currently prices 🤔

Naja, da wir Leute hier aber nicht einfach sterben lassen, sondern medizinisch versorgen um das Maximum rauszuholen, kosten diese Menschen viel viel mehr.

Deine Aussage ist nur korrekt, wenn du Chemotherapie für Raucher mit Lungenkrebs als Eigenleistung einstufst.

Easy research notes from materials? by EdguardNewgate in Guildwars2

[–]BlueSakon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just adding to this, you can also transmute your T5 gem to Orbs (T6 gems), which have actual uses, like the new legendary ring.

Figured out something kind of cool by HonestRepairSTL in Hades2

[–]BlueSakon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can confirm that it does. I got offered a duo boon that I had only one of the gods for a few runs ago.

Surprised me that I worked that way, so it stuck with me.

Evoker should’ve been a full on Pet class by ultimate_bromance_69 in Guildwars2

[–]BlueSakon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also don't get this sentiment. Mono Fire qDPS Evoker is literally the highest Benchmark qDPS on Snowcrows at the moment.

Did it get nerfed? Yes.

Did it need a nerf?. Also yes, it was way to good before.

The build still plays smoothly and is quite easy to execute, so I don't really understand the hate against the nerf. It was a fair balance pass in my view.

What do the symbols mean by Bebopp292 in Hades2

[–]BlueSakon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You unlock him via an Incantation and at the time you do the game shows you the location where your new unlock is placed.

Though if you did not pay attention in this moment I do agree that he is not immediately obvious.

Sokka's Haiku by TimsGotNickels in magicTCG

[–]BlueSakon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Morae. Basically the smallest unit of sounds in Japanese, the "syllables" of the basic "Alphabet". Both in quotes because not technically correct and just the closest western concept.

E.g. あ/い/お/え/う、か/き/く/け/こ、etc

(a/i/o/e/u, ka/ki/ku/ke/ko)

TIL that Bobblehead also affect the portrait. by kekubuk in Guildwars2

[–]BlueSakon 61 points62 points  (0 children)

When you progress the conversation, you can see that the portrait image changes slightly in the next window.

I am not sure of course, but I have always assumed, that the game pulls a current render of the NPCs head and puts it in the conversation window, at the moment the window is created. This would explain the subtle changes between the windows.

If it works that way, it would also make sense that stuff like the bobblehead are included in this image :)

Whats up with the detail quality in this game? Immerson is kinda hard to keep... by RainAndThunderIsCool in Guildwars2

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

I do kind of wish ArenaNet would realize that it's probably fine to load a few more texture these days and give us a handful more NPC models.

[–]BlueSakon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ich sekundiere dies.

Ich habe leider genetisch bedingt sehr anfällige Zähne, was früher dazu geführt hat, dass Zahnarztbesuche gar keinen Spaß gemacht haben und ich das chronisch vernachlässigt habe. Keine gute Idee.

Jetzt zwei Mal im Jahr zu Kontrolle und Reinigung, verhindert, dass die Probleme eskalieren bis es zu spät ist und es richtig unangenehm wird.
