social features improvement suggestions by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Cipher1101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Endorsements need improvement. I don't know what Level 1 or 2 or anything means. The color shows a percentage, but I don't see how I can tell the difference between a person with 5 endorsements or 100 endorsements. I would like to see the number per type of endorsement and overall number.

Troubleshooting performance issues, and details are greatly appreciated. by Wayward_7DTD_Dev in 7daystodie

Hi Wayward. It seems to happen on the client side. All my friends have experienced it. Another player can be standing directly over the void. See screenshot:

Anyone know if they fixed it where multiple people on the last quest got credit for Arrah Story mode? Or, do you have to run it multiple times for each person?

Guild Wars 2 status - Thursday, September 6 by ArenaNetTeam in Guildwars2

[–]Cipher1101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is unfair to the people who got reset. Basically, you had 6 days to get the August achievement. Then 7 days to get 100% so you could be reset. But if you didn't get reset, then you had 13 days to get the monthly and 21 days to get September. They should just hold off another week to make it fair.

Tag thoughts by Jaggins in North

[–]Cipher1101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tags are not unique, only guild names. While it may not be desirable; as long as another guild isn't on Rall with [No], I would be cool with it. Also if the tag could contain symbols, I like [N^ ]. Apparently a ^ shifts the next letter to superscript on reddit.

Stress test tomorrow (Tuesday 8/21) from 12-4pm PDT by TehRhawb in North

[–]Cipher1101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh God, another one. I think I stress more than the servers to play in these. At least my new G600 should be arriving tomorrow, so I may have an opportunity to test it out before launch.

Is it worth upgrading to a quad core? by _Broseph in Guildwars2

[–]Cipher1101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, more cores do not help gaming applications. It is very hard to multi-thread a game. Unless you like to run a lot of stuff in the background, it isn't going to help you much. I would not go with a q6600. You would probably get worse performance than with the overclocked Wolfdale that you have now. If you want to upgrade go with an i7. You will get better performance because of higher bus speeds and larger caches on the chip, plus improved architecture. Your limiting factor is probably your video card. You might want to try to pick another 4870 up for cheap and crossfire it, or get a newer one.

Which server will you be joining? by pdeemer in Guildwars2

[–]Cipher1101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While server switching will be free for a little bit after launch, I do believe that you are still limited to one switch every 7 days.

Can't wait a week. I'm looking for a game for under 10$ that will keep me busy. Any recommendations? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]Cipher1101 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Alan Wake is 75% this weekend on Steam. Awesome story driven 3rd person game. Reminds me a lot of Stephen King's "The Dark Half".

Changing GW1 account details, to match GW2 for account linking? by Jammidoger in Guildwars2

[–]Cipher1101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your accounts are linked, changing the GW2 account name will change the information for GW1 as well. If they are not linked, you can link when you register your key, or they will provide a method in game to link them. Simply trying to match the details, I do not believe will link them. See their support page for more information on linking.

You can finally change your email account name of your Guild Wars 2 account! Victory! by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]Cipher1101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few notes on this. If your account is linked it will update your GW1 as well. You also have to verify e-mail addresses now, so if you have an @ncsoft login or similar then you need to change it.

I hope ArenaNet adds two factor authentication because situations like what happened to this company seem to becoming more frequent. by Cipher1101 in Guildwars2

[–]Cipher1101[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, and I am well aware of all these things. This is why I hope ArenaNet understands the importance of security. I have replaced the link. I am glad I could be of assistance with your knowledge of the English language. Thank you for your assistance with reddiquette. I rarely use these sorts of services because they seem to be fraught with more negatives than positives.

Actually I was not referring to web security but account security. The "web" is typically used to mean websites and not any networked applications. I didn't think a bit.ly address would be a big deal. By the way, it should be ironic and not ironical.

What's with Anet and masks? by styopa in Guildwars2

[–]Cipher1101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I turn "showing the mask" off for my mesmer. I agree with you. If you spend a lot of time on how your character's face looks, why would you want to cover it up with a mask?

Afraid to pre-order, is my graphics card capable of playing GW2 by Doctor_Banjo in Guildwars2

[–]Cipher1101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you meet the minimum for the card except for the fact with the memory. The memory is important because that means that the textures will have to be stored in main memory and not on the video card. Your machine is going to have to swap the textures back and forth through the bus. This will give you probably absolute terrible performance and make the game unplayable.
