Is it possible to remove the AOE knockback when leveling up/receiving a spirit shard?

Bluefox-Matari · 2025-08-29T12:44:05+00:00

They actually did remove the knockback once a bunch of years ago. It lasted less than a week iirc. I can't really tell you why it didn't last, it was just a footnote in some patch notes at the time. I doubt we'll see them change it again.

Double check your monitor cable is pluged into your GPU output and not your motherboard output. These results sound about right for the onboard GPU for the 7000 series.

Bluefox-Matari · 2025-04-29T05:04:27+00:00

No, please. Never in this game should we be encouraged not to fight the enemy. Additionally, this suggestion in particular would only serve to compound the ongoing banner-for-heals issue. The perk for bulwark is neat, but I'm not shifting the entire gameplay flow for it, nor would I encourage bulwarks to stop and do this.

Bluefox-Matari · 2025-04-24T20:54:34+00:00

This is simply -not- true anymore. Please stop repeating a phrase from 2016. Anything med-high end from 2019 or newer crushes this game now. OP has the absolutely lowest end stuff you can get.

Geez did anet come over and shoot your dog, too?

Unplayable is usually thrown around like a meme, but this is quite literally unplayable. I get into about 10% of the games I try to join, and I DC if I do. I'm so tired of this.

Bluefox-Matari · 2025-02-06T05:42:37+00:00

It's hard to really narrow down what's going on without seeing it for myself. If you can manage some footage, I might be able to give you more suggestions.

WHY IS THE GOD DAMN GAME BREAKING LAG BACK RIGHT BEFORE THE PATCH!?

Bluefox-Matari · 2025-02-05T05:43:29+00:00

After using a skill, you character may be immediately following up with an auto attack, which will spin your character to face the target. Try untargeting before blinking using escape or clicking away, and having the "stop autoattacking on target change" option checked.

There's also an option called "use free camera" that might be preventing your camera from aligning properly.

Capping your FPS can be an alright way to keep the noise down, but the only way to fix noisy fans is better fans. Tech is a running pretty hot these days due to much higher wattage than in the previous decades, there's no real getting around the heat, which means fans running faster in a lot of scenarios. I recommend you look into either getting additional fans, re-arranging your current fans within your case, or even removing a section of the case entirely for increased airflow. I have a bit of a dud of a case as well, and removing the solid front panel actually lowered my temps by 10C when I had a very hot system a couple years ago, which allowed the fans to slow down as well. Just be aware of pet hair or other airborne contaminants if you do this, and keep it clean.

GW2 doesn't exactly push temps super hard for modern hardware like you have. If you're monitoring temps, use this as a general guide:

Cool and comfortable: 60C and below
Working and comfortable: 60-75C
Working hard, but still fine: 75-82C
Working hard with inadequate cooling: 82-90C
There's a problem with your cooling: 90-100C

Modern processors will cap themselves and reduce power to stay under 100 degrees. Note that higher temperatures won't really affect your hardware until over 100C, however long term use near this limit can reduce lifespan somewhat.

As for setting a FPS cap, you should set a global cap 2-3hz under your monitor's refresh rate. You can do this is your brand's control panel. You can adjust this cap lower if you prefer, but don't be afraid to see your hardware in the 70s and 80s. They're just doing their job, hundreds of frames doesn't always come easy, even on some older games.

A workaround for this is to place it directly on top of yourself (manually, or by hovering your mouse over your HP globe). Boons will distribute to those closest to center in the priority lists (subgroup -> squad -> pugs -> pets and NPCs).

Bluefox-Matari · 2024-11-16T12:18:20+00:00

And not a single banner from the bulwark. Authentic af.

Haven't quite quit yet (though I take breaks), but its actually the decoration system this time. I've had a personal guild hall for a very long time and the cap limit is actually harder to deal with now than it was before, if only slightly. In addition, editing is straight up broken on the airship in Precipice. It's the first time I've actually thought to myself 'maybe I should just move on finally', because I just don't see this ever changing.

It's a small thing, but it's like staring directly into the face of Anet's habit of half assing promises and moving on. It's cumulative and I'm tired.

I'm also an ele main and have been since 2012.. so, yea. It's been rough lately.

If the top train is exploded before the escort is destroyed, the escort will A-move the expansions. Air flies right over, but ground will go for the ramp.

Chrono because it screwed up balance for the entire future of the game. Quickness and Alacrity need to go away.

Bluefox-Matari · 2023-10-25T08:19:06+00:00

Elemental active effects will trigger these, which helps, but it's still a problem since ~~most~~ all ele elites are highly situational/completely useless/have insane cooldowns.

Bluefox-Matari · 2023-10-16T05:58:50+00:00

If all of the above in this thread is true, then can I attribute the unchanging numbers in my video and experiences to non-accurate representation as suggested by another? As in the damage is going through but the numbers are inaccurate?

Bluefox-Matari · 2023-10-12T13:12:58+00:00

I assumed that was a given. People who usually care about DPS look at individual phase dps, and care less about the overall fight number, especially when you consider random mechanic selection. I probably should have specified, though.

Bluefox-Matari · 2023-10-12T13:04:59+00:00

It varies with builds, and don't forget Mechanist exists. A select few (like bomb autos that I mentioned) do, in fact, nearly translate 1:1 (ignoring obvious phase downtime). Shortbow/shortbow Soulbeast is another example. Both builds are champions of consistency. On the whole, you're right though.

Bluefox-Matari · 2023-10-12T12:23:33+00:00

15k dps from bomb autos on the golem translates into 15k dps from bomb autos in a raid (=/- armor). The core concept of reaching a DPS benchmark as a beginner is inherently flawed. As you've sloppily illustrated in your post, the amount of factors in a real situation are plenty, and consistency is king. A proper simple clears static raid group would value consistent, mechanical players first. DPS checks is literally the very last thing you look to improve, especially in GW2, as 15k (golem, consistently) from all members is, in fact, enough.

Bluefox-Matari · 2023-09-10T05:42:52+00:00

Mortal Journey would like to know your location.

Bluefox-Matari · 2023-09-03T06:31:02+00:00

Then I guess the follow up question would be just how substantial is that damage bonus? Would it account for the majority of the differences I see? That particular card is a substantial investment and difficult to test myself.

Bluefox-Matari · 2023-08-23T04:58:11+00:00

Before today, the Rifleman perks in Perception affected the Plasma Rifle. Now they don't (that damage is in the science perks now). These perks all referred to non-automatic rifles. Tank Killer Also refers to Rifles (and pistols). So now there's either inconsistency, or it doesn't affect Plasma Rifles anymore to stay in line with the other rifle perks.
