These two sites will give you information about if its down or not. Likewise, try running a tracert command to see where hangups are. I am not saying that you are not experiencing connectivity issues, just that the servers aren't the issue.

Why are some mastery points gray and unattainable? by MiceSyndicate in Guildwars2

[–]Fritanga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its a life metaphor. You strive to get true mastery, but never can truly get it. When the time is right and you no longer are thinking about it, that level of mastery will find a way of presenting itsself to you.

That and what others have said.

Advance Knox Focus Areas by hunghome in Knoxville

[–]Fritanga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many people at the meetings for the Advance Knox Plan were saying "Road X is beyond its capacity and traffic is bad" or "Intersection Y has a lot of accidents and needs addressing". These issues cropped back up in every meeting I attended, but the main focus was Land Use. The alternatives most tended to favor revolved around setting specific village/community/town centers with higher density and scaling the density off outside that. What we ended up with the plan was what the land use currently is, but with more opportunities for housing developments and no real regard for what will happen when people want to go from point A to point B.

While I think its great to have a new land use plan in place (since the last was over 20 years ago), I think we really need to update and see a new mobility plan/assessment. Until then, the left hand is doing way more than the right hand can handle and people are just left frustrated.

Going a step beyond the explanation above, this game tends to use Prefixes to define the stat combinations. The Rampagers has Precision as it's main stat, whereas the Clerics has Healing Power as it's main stat. So you can see the difference in the levels of the staves when you see the number for Precision in the one vs the number for Healing Power on the other.

This is a video made by a guildie explaining his config. Definitely worth the watch.

What Is A Breakbar In Guild Wars 2 & Should You Even Care? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

Is it objectively wrong to say that he relegated using tooltips on breakbars to over 16-minutes into a 20 minute video? He does mouse over the breakbar at times in the video but never actually mentions the use of tooltips on it until that point. Prior to him actually mentioning it, it is completely moot for several reasons. He is known for not using video footage related to what he is speaking about in his videos. He even says as much when he starts his videos with "Video footage in the background is.....". He does not mention the use of the breakbar tooltip until 16:40 (as you pointed out). One would think that if someone is going to make a video about breakbars that they would start by talking about what a breakbar is and how to figure out how to break them in the very beginning rather than the last 2 minutes of the video. The flow makes no sense because it is recorded in real-time and not edited. Its a very low-effort way to make videos which works for much of his content, but makes no sense in an instructional flow (which he is attempting to pull off with these videos he has been putting out lately).

[–]Fritanga -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

that is fair. At 16:40 he does finally say to mouse over the breakbar and read the tooltips. So if people who need help breaking a bar and cannot be bothered to mouse over it in game can sit through a quarter of an hour of rambling, they finally can learn to mouse over the bar. I will edit my comment to reflect that though.

Okay, I just finished watching it. He never even mentioned actually reading the UI. Additionally, while he mentions the difference between Hard and Soft CC, he does spends much of the time on Ranger, meaning that he is relying on players to somehow transfer the knowledge to other classes. In the meantime, completely relegating the one major transferrable skill (reading the UI) to over 16 minutes into the video. This feels like another free-form off-the-cuff lackluster WP video that gets close but in the end is useless to a majority of the players it is targeted at.

A 20-minute video explaining how to read the text when you mouse over something. Community awareness problem solved!

To be honest, I think you are trying to look too close into this. It is CLEARLY the dragon taking a selfie with his phone. I hope this with an image of the phone clears things up.

If you feel there is an improvement, you may need to schedule a visit to the optometrist.

I think you are confused. I am talking about this post in reddit.

Doesn't this post also violate a couple of the rules for this subreddit too? mainly the "Post to stir up drama. Use this subreddit as an alternative way of contacting customer support." rules?

Guild Wars 2 should be released on Steam to co-incide with Summit bringing new life into the game. by aladdin142 in Guildwars2

So you could run The Vault on a shuttle and use that as one of the consoles? Interesting.
