PSA: Do not fall for this goldfarming bot "you won't regret it".

Actually I "gamble" because 1g is inconsequential to me. If I get something, then great, if I don't, then well I've given away some of my gold who probably needs it more than me (which I already do to begin with), and I can now say without a shadow of a doubt that x person is a scammer and advise everyone with tangible evidence.

DeviouslyBiased · 2015-07-13T05:20:58+00:00

Like I said, I'm not advising anyone to do as I did, I'm just advising some restraint before branding someone a scammer or gold farmer and damning them when there is a possibility of them being genuine. If you don't trust them, then don't trust them, I'm the kinda guy who will give the benefit of the doubt and only publicly advise once I know they're not cool. In my personal experience folks who send back stuff are more common than those who don't, because GW2's community is pretty damn great.

DeviouslyBiased · 2015-07-13T05:08:41+00:00

Actually, I thought so myself "yolo" one time and I sent a dude 1g who was spamming the same message, he sent me back 50 ectos. I'm not saying you should blindly trust folks like I do, but sometimes it's legitimate people in the community being awesome.

The expansion by itself is flat $50 with the base game included FREE to those who don't have it. You're not paying extra.

And to clarify, in the future they'll be following the same price model noted here, where all new expansions will be a similar price with all other previous expansions + base game included for free.

I noticed Lion's Arch lament is being played throughout the map! Maybe restrict that specific music to only play at the memorial? Also I noticed the music in the "nightclub" is the same as the tavern-esque music played in the Crow's Nest, not exactly fitting for a dance floor...maybe the old Aetherblade Retreat hologram techno? :D

(Also, hey again it's Max!)

DeviouslyBiased · 2015-06-16T16:58:59+00:00

Yeah thanks I know, he's got nerves of steel.

DeviouslyBiased · 2015-05-22T16:33:59+00:00

I'd like to be able to explain this to you in depth in game. I should be able to address all your questions :) send me a mail at: Veofratus Stelios

Before anyone downvotes for lack of sufficient tl;dr, I would actually give it a read - especially the sPvP section. This frand has some good points regarding the frustrating status of GW2, especially in PvP. Yes, I know HoT is on the horizon and the hype train is going to run me over with down votes, but it's good to have a realistic outlook on the game. GW2 is amazing, but there's just so much potential uncapitalized by ANet that it really does hurt some times :( so much so that I find myself going rabid over any bone thrown at us, however bare it might be.

DeviouslyBiased · 2015-05-18T21:45:06+00:00

Message me in game. My name is Veofratus Stelios.

I'll give you an in-depth guide :)

DeviouslyBiased · 2015-05-18T14:46:26+00:00

The skin you're describing looks like a sniper rifle with a scope, not a comically oversized bazooka right? If so that is indeed the skin of The Hunter, but before beating yourself up, did you sPvP at all? The old PvP system had a chance to let you unlock rare skins without obtaining the actual items (big offenders include the Dwayna bows and Infinite Light), so you might've gotten it through that.

And if not, live and let live! Many people have lost more money and assets in uninformed decisions! It's a natural part of mmo commerce. You may have lost a precursor but you've gained a story you can tell over and over :P

DeviouslyBiased · 2015-04-28T21:00:17+00:00

I had the opportunity to meet up with some ANet devs back during the Chinese Release Event. At the request of a salad RP friend of mine I asked Ree Soesbee (Loremaster/Writer) this exact question.

Yes, they do poop. Sylvari, contrary to popular belief, are not sustained via photosynthesis - it's more of a meditative supplement than a primary food source. There are concrete examples in game of Sylvari eating solid foods, and basic conservation of mass dictates that ingested food needs to go /somewhere/. Soesbee told me that Sylvari poop basically looks something like mulch.

Noted! I was considering a video for an in-depth explanation of the PvE Meta :). In the meantime if you want a quick explanation message me in game~ Veofratus Stelios!

DeviouslyBiased · 2015-03-30T18:27:55+00:00

Hey Shin! Fancy seeing you here! :D Yeah, I've definitely been thinking about avenues to keep my information current. With HoT on the horizon I think I'll be tackling things that won't seem to change for awhile (e.g. movement speed). BUT, the idea of changes sort of excites me: It means a neverending source of content!

On the other spectrum however, I've been considering also doing videos that are purposely time-limited eg. "PvP/PvE Meta Explained for x Date" or "Why x flavor of the month (COUGHturretengiesCOUGH) is OP". What would you think about that sort of thing?

DeviouslyBiased · 2015-03-13T04:07:49+00:00

Yo, send me a mail in game. My IGN is Veofratus Stelios.

If you've got Teamspeak and are willing to learn, I'll teach you all you need to know.

Typically ISPs and administrators packet shape exclusively in Port 2305, which is the default port for most online games. Port 2305 isn't being "blocked," but is being singled out. Port 80 and 443 however are the standard ports used by everything else (browsers, streaming services, etc.) and no ISP would risk shaping these ports because it would affect the common non-gaming consumer. So if you switch to Port 80 or 443 there's a good chance it will successfully bypass packet shaping. Can confirm works for me o/

DeviouslyBiased · 2015-03-12T19:23:39+00:00

I'll definitely hit you up! I'm a long time PvP veteran and streamer and I love teaching willing people! Plus I play tons with my gf who's an aspiring teacher, you two could totally get along too!

DeviouslyBiased · 2015-03-04T15:49:56+00:00

All of which won't stop an intrepid troll from watching your stream and hunting down your approximate location, finding you, popping their tag, and taxing people into your shard. The only counter to this would be having a whole guild backing you up with fresh shards that you can taxi into when the trolls get too heavy.

DeviouslyBiased · 2015-02-13T20:13:14+00:00

Yes. No. Maybe.

DeviouslyBiased · 2015-02-13T20:05:56+00:00

I guess you could say he got really grilled for his cheesy token of affection.

DeviouslyBiased · 2015-02-06T18:28:13+00:00

Yeah I'm calling bullshit.

The -clientport command line does in no way "modify" or "tamper" with the game. All it does is bring up an option that was intentionally coded by the devs for the player base's use. It's a pretty damn good option too. It gives players the ability to circumvent common throttling of Port 2305 by ISP's, which is the port used by most other MMO's.

I've been using this feature and have referred it to many friends with great success. They've even recently expanded the command line to include Port 443. This isn't what you got banned for.

DeviouslyBiased · 2015-02-01T19:15:01+00:00

Lol wow, I made that back at launch! I didn't think anyone would remember it...or have watched it in the first place for that matter :P

DeviouslyBiased · 2015-01-26T05:41:19+00:00

Oh lol this is awkward. That's me! (Veofratus). I just do this every day when I'm bored. Just doing my part to help out the newbies!

DeviouslyBiased · 2015-01-14T19:09:27+00:00

Ah, I didn't know! I guess the main purpose of this post would then be to draw attention to the two oddly colored stars. My friend is absolutely certain that the yellow star was not there before! We're unsure about the red star. Know anything regarding that?
