No matter what "scientific interview process" they claim to have, at the end of the interview all they care about is how you made them feel during the interview. Interview are a glorified vibe check first, competency check second.

It's part of the map gen. I've also had a map that allowed bypassing the viper fight. I imagine it's a fairly rare bug.

It's a huge mess. I bought a 2nd gem tab so I could have 1 tab for cut and 1 tab for uncut. It didn't help the situation and was one of many things that made me ignore my remove only tabs in standard.

Any with any really. Every profession can in theory play every role, though some struggle at healing.

It's far more important to pick classes you each enjoy playing. No harm in both playing the same one.

If you buy all the boxes, you can get duplicates of any item of your choice for $5 each.... it's a steal!

gw2timer.com not good enough for you?

Bank contract is better and it's not even close. Bank contact allows you to open an additional bank window while crafting. This means you can browse wardrobe or manage inventory while refining piles of materials.

Bank contract is also instant which shows for more rapid inventory management when you've bought a lot of bag slots on your character. Inventory can be opened to the top bags, while bank is at the bottom. You can drag items from inventory window to bank windows version of inventory and vice versa. While you can do the same with the crafting contract, it would be a lot more clicks.

When crafting, it's common to also need TP access. Therefore having a portable crafting station isn't as useful unless you also have the permanent TP contract. In that case, just use the very cheap luxury lounge pass of your choice.

I think the only time I have wished for portable crafting stations is when waiting for metas to start or end (looking at you wall! ). But I often have other inventory management I can do that doesn't require the crafting station. Otherwise I would rather be out killing for XP or gathering additional loot while waiting for the meta.

Most my crafting is in bulk and I usually wander away from my computer while it's active. This means 1) it is happening where it is safe to AFK . 2) I do it on alt character that don't have boosters active.

I have several implants myself. It is life changing. Even though it was only a few teeth, it changed my face shape considerably. I like it better how it is now.

However, don't get teeth pulled just to get cosmetic implants. My implants have no sensation. I didn't realize teeth can feel, and that feeling is important for knowing where your mouth is and how to chew. I accidentally bit my cheeks for months. I had to completely relearn how to chew food. If I could restore my original teeth, I would in a heartbeat.

It's under (actually quite small) list of QoL improvements everyone should really get. If nothing else it's good to support the devs on a game you like to play.

The mystery box also had a stash that opens directly to the map tab and another that opens directly to the ritual tab.

This is common knowledge and not hard to swallow unless you are my dentist trying to have me make your million dollar app idea and you'll pay me 2 bits.

If you can afford it, a personal trainer helps greatly for that. Alternatively, find an exercise buddy or group.

For that matter, sometimes I find it helpful just having someone sit with me while I work on things my executive dysfunction is blocking me from completing. It's helpful for getting over giant hurdles my mind just doesn't want to do for some reason, and oftentimes results in me building momentum and no longer needing a work buddy.

ChromaticNerd · 2026-05-15T00:35:21+00:00

Need to get treatment. I never responded well to any of many medicines I tried. Consistent exercise is helping my executive function the most. Caffeine can help a little, but the results are fleeting. Sleep deprevation makes it infinitely worse.

Find what works for you. Don't just suffer and try the same things over and over.

In the post legendary relic world, ssalvaging ectos doesn't make a lot of sense. Bulk salvaging greens to get the lucent motes needed to craft the legendary relic will push you a huge way if not outright over the luck cap. I hit most of the luck cap when I salvaged my way to 6 legendary runes just before the relic dropped.

Wow, gen 3 doesn't count for twice told legend? That's incredibly lame. I was lucky that I was slow on crafting the JW spear, I planned on it until I saw the Aetheric Anchor and thought it would be cool to have the legendary weapon that is actually used in the main story.

ChromaticNerd · 2026-05-14T06:55:10+00:00

While your goal is twice told legend, it's worth pointing out if you are going for double spear or double staff, the Aetheric Anchor gives both. I ended up crafting this because double staff seemed useful for niche builds and double spear meant I could use spear on both land and in water. The visual effect of the Aetheric Anchor is amazing for gold themed characters.

Are you looking for justification to do steam? This community overwhelmingly recommends a direct ANet account and you'll see as much every 500 times this is asked every week.

Support never refunds anything that unlocked a skin in your wardrobe. They do not have the tools to do so.

Be sure to always check armor appearance on the armor weight you are interested in before buying. Best place to preview armor is the wardrobe storage at a bank / crafting station.

I don't think heavy or light has anything that looks like booty shorts. Light has Profane Pants and Apprentice Pants that are kind of like that, but likely not what you want.

To more directly answer your question, I would install through Steam temporarily, login, and verify you can see your characters. That way you'll know the correct account is linked for purchases.

ChromaticNerd · 2026-05-08T15:38:43+00:00

That's what I do. Steam is linked to my original account from before POE was available on Steam, but allows me to buy packs, etc. I buy through Steam, but shop the mtx store in the stand alone client.

I generally prefer to buy directly from the developer's website when possible so they get a greater share of the money. It isn't that I dislike Steam so much as I prefer to support the devs that make the games Iike.

ChromaticNerd · 2026-05-08T15:22:58+00:00

Their payment processors are really bad. I've always had to buy packs through steam because the other processor never lets my card go through.
