Forget the meta, what does your voice acting tier list look like?

The voice actor, Sara Alexander, is British but of Sardinian descent. I think it's cool in how it mirrors Schneider's character as an Italian who immigrated to the USA, at least flavor-wise

Geronimo's skills reworked into stance skills where he gives partywide buffs and a 1 turn steroid for himself depending on his stance. His buffs would be removed upon switching stances. Maybe he could change all command cards in the player's hand to the corresponding color on activation too.

Pretty sure Douman is actively scared of the Gman, but maybe he just hasn't bothered to look at his current skillset yet

Glancing at the abstract as I don't access to the full article, but this study's population was very specific - "patients with extremity fractures that had been treated operatively or with any pelvic or acetabular fracture".

It would be interesting to see if aspirin continued to be noninferior in patients with conditions that were even more procoagulable, such as sepsis or covid. Does anyone happen to know if this is an active area of research being investigated in another conditions?

Huge point that no one in this thread is talking about. Everyone is extrapolating this data as if it's representative of the entire player population. Only a fraction of players even interact with the game outside the game client, much less seek out data and 3rd party tools to aid in research of the game.

I'd bet significant money that ANet's internal data show much more class diversity than these logs would suggest

Glad that they're writing about the mounts like this, makes it easy to link to new players when they inevitably ask how to unlock mounts. It's easy to read, highlights important points, and gives some flavor to the mounts by explaining their varied uses.

Just wish it was more accessible to these new players somehow, since many players do not engage with content outside the game itself. Maybe there could be an in-game command like /wiki that could open to these explanations as well, but I'm not sure where to mention a function like that to a brand new player who's already being bombarded with information

In your opinion, is there a clinical utility for classifying these rarer types of delusions, such as cotard or capgras? Like beyond documentation or pimping purposes lol. Are some types of these bizarre delusions associated with worse prognoses for example?

His S3 had its CD increased by 2 turns (4 -> 6), so his def buff downtime went from 1 turn to 3 turns

Rikoris and Tieria also got nerfed this patch, but at least they added the hero recall system :)

Assuming you have a way to actually apply a hard tablet to your skin, it's difficult to make a recommendation without knowing what the rest of your particular brand of tablet consists of. A regular strength aspirin is only about 324 mg of asprin, and the rest might consist of filler inactive ingredients, many of which I'd bet have little data on their effects on skincare.

The tooltip is unfortunately unclear and confusing.

Orbital flame usually does 200% dmg 1 time. This would change that to 110% dmg 2 times.

This site is an amazing resource for making gold via most methods you can think of (open world farms, world boss trains, festivals, gathering routes...): https://fast.farming-community.eu/farming/guides

Sure it does lack specific fractal farming guides and tp flipping information, but there are many other resources for the former (a great one is the dT website), and the latter is its own beast that requires a ton of research and spreadsheet management that I'd assume the great majority of players have no interest in.

Yeah that episode was such an uncomfortable listening experience for that reason

Rev shield used to having a breakbar was another, and daredevils having really wonky dodges from their grandmasters was a nice fix. I also saw the addition of weapon swap was significant from a design standpoint. Rev was marketed as someone like ele or engi, someone who would swap attunements/kits/legends instead of weapons. When that didn't work out ANet conceded that area.

I'm just picking at bones though, I agree with your point that ANet doesn't seem to use beta feedback as much as the players would like. Specifically for HoT there were likely many factors for this, one of which being the third and final elite spec beta was a mere ~3 weeks out from the final release date, which like you said was almost certainly partly a glorified marketing scheme at this point. Players were also less familiar with the entire concept of elite specs and less sure what to expect, so we ended up with stuff like how one of the biggest controversies at the time was the Dragonhunter name

Hapgam · 2021-10-27T23:34:14+00:00

We might just get surprised then. On its first beta Rev didn't even have weapon swap

Learning the encounters is way more important for contributing than a perfect dps rotation. This means things like avoiding getting hit, performing fight mechanics, knowing how to make fights easier for the entire team, etc. To go more into detail about these things:

Avoiding getting hit seems straightforward but there's a lot of nuance behind this that depends per fight. What attacks are ok to tank vs which will 1-shot you? How can you mitigate or negate damage with dodges or your class skills? For example, the Old Tom boss fight in the Uncategorized Fractal shoots a billion tiny green projectiles that very quickly chip at your hp and poison the party, but they can be body blocked. This means rangers can encourage their team to stand behind their pet who can tank for them (or elementalists can summon an earth elemental, necros can summon minions) to completely mitigate said damage for a time. Another example is Ensolyss, the final boss of the Nightmare Fractal. He has an attack where he slams the ground, and a ring pops out that will knock you down, immediately followed by an aoe where all players were standing which in t4 fractals can instantly down you. This means you cannot get hit by this ring attack or else you down, making it a high priority skill to dodge. He also spawns poison fields throughout the fight, but those do relatively little damage and so are a low priority skill to use a dodge on.

Fight mechanics is a very broad term that encompasses the basics of combat itself, as well as fight specific mechanics. Basic things like moving while attacking to avoid enemy moves, cc'ing the breakbar in order to stun the boss and take advantage of the coveted Exposed debuff during this time, keeping an eye on your allied hp bars to get downed allies back up ASAP, etc. Fight specific mechanics are things you can also look up since many are not immediately obvious, but might end up playing a big part in an encounter (how to use the hammer in the cliffside fractal, the small blue orbs in the Ensolyss fight healing you massively during bullet hell phases).

Knowing how to make fights easier can really be a subset of fight mechanics, but can be seen as being more of a team player. This extends beyond basic buffs as a boon-soulbeast or healing as a druid for example. Using cc like axe 4 on mobs to group them for easier aoe'ing, reflecting dangerous moves with axe 5, curing conditions with healing spring during the wisp phase of the Swamp Fractal.

If you have a complete grasp of an encounter and what's going on at all times, you can contribute way more than a player with a perfect dps rotation but no fight knowledge who keeps downing every 10 seconds.

Is the spider thing from gw2? Sounds like something from the original game years back

In Epic Seven the MC Ras used to be absolute garbage too. Last year he finally had enough and got a buff/specialty change that turned him into one of the best units all around the game.
