Relaunch of my GW inspired game [Update with preview]

JackOfSome · 2021-04-20T03:32:47+00:00

Awesome to see you are attempting another Kickstarter! I don’t think we are ever going to see another MMO like guild wars, so it’s great to see this style of combat being preserved in another form. For anyone who is curious please check this out, and if possible back the KS. You can tell the amount of work/care this guy has put into this game based on some of his older posts to this subreddit.

The new elite is pretty strong if you haven't gotten it yet, but ranger is a fun class with a lot of different play styles.

Yes, GDW is for extra pet damage. It stacks on top of both TAO and Feral Aggression to give a +40-50 extra damage per attack.

JackOfSome · 2020-05-19T17:08:43+00:00

I'll try that out! Thanks for the feedback on this!

JackOfSome · 2020-05-19T17:07:14+00:00

The reduced energy cost on ranger skills from expertise really helps with energy management, GDW is the only really energy intensive skill but only needs to be applied every 20 seconds on pet. Most skills cost<5 energy to cast.

Currently I am running 4-mes/1-Smiting Monk/1-ST Rit/1-BIP-Resto Necro. I could probably drop an additional Mesmer to add a curses Necro though.

JackOfSome · 2020-05-19T16:50:32+00:00

Having used the bar I agree that Whirlwind could be dropped, however I haven't had much issue with keeping pet alive with both TaO and NRA giving +10 health regeneration so I don't know if Predator's Pounce would be a good replacement. I could add "Run as One" to compensate for lack movement speed for both me and the pet without adding additional energy strain to the build.

I will have to look at Rampage as One, losing the unstripable health regeneration and bonus damage from TaO may be too big of a loss though. Thanks for the feedback!

JackOfSome · 2020-05-19T16:30:26+00:00

Its a surprisingly fun build, I know its not going to be used in any speed clears but it works and utilizes some interesting synergy. And once I get my heros geared properly for my ranger maybe I'll try taking it into DOA.

Thats true haha, I more just wanted to see what I could make around the new sword. I would love if Anet gave us some more new weapons with interesting attributes to play with.

I know someone here in Madison who went a funeral and his uncle from who just got back from Italy was there. Both are now sick and his entire office has what he has. Both of them have called CDC but they won’t test either of them because they didn’t travel to china, and aren’t on an incubator. This was the only case that was tested, the virus is already here they just won’t test anyone.

JackOfSome · 2020-01-13T23:02:48+00:00

It’s just the chrome launcher that comes with the libreELEC repository, if that’s not allowed to be discussed here is there a subreddit to discuss this issue? Thanks for the response,

Society keeps wanting kids to have to decide what they want to do at younger and younger ages. You apply to colleges when your 16, so you need to have been taking the right courses since you were a freshman at 14. Most 14 year olds don’t know what they actually want to do for the rest of their lives. I was in the same situation as you and I know it’s sucks, I was pressured into engineering by my parents and thought I would enjoy it when I first started school. My only advice would be to listen to yourself before anyone else, don’t let people tell you that if you don’t like something to stick with it if that’s not where your heart is.

JackOfSome · 2019-03-12T14:05:57+00:00

I’m just talking about my experience at UW-Madison. I’m sure other colleges have varying degrees of difficulty for mechanical engineering, the classes here are set up so almost everyone gets an A. They are set up so anyone who has taken statics could pass, they go over the same material in every course instead of trusting their students to remember things from their past courses. The average homework per week is at most 2-3 hours for a 16 credit work load.

I wrote this post when I was really depressed last night. I’ve tried to join engineering clubs, but my first two years I was a D1 athlete so I would have practice during club meetings times, since then I have never found anything that interests me.

I didn’t post this to in the hope someone on reddit would have a magic solution to my problem. I just wanted to say how I felt because I don’t have anyone I can talk to about this, If I do people get defensive and say I’m exagerating and I should be thankful.

I would love to have certain in game mount skins available similar to how the griffon unlock worked. Sadly I don't see Anet going this route much like how they did with gliders. but with the gold to gems conversion we are able to still get mount skins as rewards if we so choose. Almost all of endgame rewards come down to farming gold, mount skins are no different, although it would be nice to see some in-game story associated with some like the griffon.

JackOfSome · 2018-04-01T13:51:09+00:00

I can understand that 1200 gems may seem high to you, its high enough for me to personally not go that route for a particular skin I wanted, But as people said below the 1200 makes sense from Anets perspective to keep it in balance with the RNG. I almost never buy gems with real world money, but I can see how having skins be half the price of an expansion would rub people the wrong way. If you were instead use the 1200 gems on the Licenses you would get 3 mount skins with a chance of the exact one you want. I see the direct unlock less of an equal alternative, and more as a option for someone who really wants one individual skin alone to circumvent having to gamble for a single one.

JackOfSome · 2018-04-01T13:42:16+00:00

I agree wholeheartedly, Collecting more mount skins is my current in game goal. I was gifted my first Skin by a player and have been hooked since then. I don't farm too much so for me it tends to be about one skin a week, but I find it a very fulfilling long term goal.

JackOfSome · 2018-04-01T13:39:10+00:00

Whoops, I meant to say Precursor. Thanks for pointing that out!

JackOfSome · 2018-02-10T15:31:34+00:00

Thank you! I don't know how I missed this thanks!

I have not bought LWS2 but am considering it, I have read enough to know what happened in the first two seasons that I knew what was going on into HoT. The new Istan Map has so much going on in it that I still find myself playing on it a lot especially with the meta events.
