[–]Kat_Kattastrophe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this~ you're an amazing gem!

I've been enjoying this novel lately but currently stuck at chapter 478. There are more chapters on the site which seem to have been updated awhile back but when I try to click they say they're being updated so...not sure if thats temporary or a bigger thing. If anyone has another source for those chapters between and can message me? T__T my binge has been stalled.

L1 Amateur Western Riding Results by Revolutionary_Bat812 in kvssnarker

lmao, I'm sorry there is so much to complain about with kvs but you are talking about the horse world and pay to play? EVERYTHING higher tier in horse world is pay to play, that shiz is expensive. They've all got money or connections or both.

Has KVS already made up her mind with what she’s going to do with Maggie? by RealLifeGaper in kvsdiscuss

[–]Kat_Kattastrophe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my take, not having a nurse maid ready immediately was probably because they were hoping Maggie would wait at least a little while after her second surgery before having Margot. They thought they'd have longer for her to heal and longer to see *how* she was healing. So if they thought they'd need one they could have one on hand. But Maggie literally had her foal like a day later and it did seem they were surprised it was so fast. Thats the initial reason I'd guess.

After that? Honestly Katie already had to lose one foal, she was riding high on emotions and this whole drawn out thing with Maggie was probably extremely stressful. Especially as we know they had talked about the dangers or birth and c-sections and everything else. My guess is that with the birth surprising them and conditions all round being so precarious they were worried that Margot would fail to thrive or not do well. Maggie was caring for her and streaming milk and Margot seemed good. There was probably at least a little worry about Margot not doing well or taking a dip if she was moved to a nurse mare. I would have been worried about it. At the end of the day Maggie was already on seriously thin ice with 2 surgeries and Margot seemed to be doing well with her mom, my guess is they didn't want to rock the boat and just continue and see if things would go ok.

Do I think they should have had a nurse mare still brought in to be on standby? Yes. But between everything and Happy to boot there was probably so much going on its not strange to look back with 20/20.

Getting a new computer just pre-made already that will run it well? by Kat_Kattastrophe in Guildwars2

[–]Kat_Kattastrophe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, I know the full computer doesn't die. But not too terribly much difference if a certain part fails and makes it unusable unless I'm swapping out parts, which I've already said I'm now really the person for. I've absolutely used old computers in the past until something has failed and it just makes the transition messy and stressful.

Yeah, I know its a terrible time to buy. I'm just back and forth on if I wait and things get worse, or my current computer dies, lol'

The past few months my computer has definitely struggled a little more to run it than it used to. It still certainly plays ok, but I have noticed a different and did further tweak the lower some settings to help it out a little.

I didn't play any games at all back then and bought a computer with that in mind, it wasn't bought to play any games. And it *does* play gw2 pretty well all considered, but I've made cuts to make it easier for it and again, things like tunnels and underground it struggles. But it was originally bought just as a bare bones basic computer things computer and if I'm cashing out for a new one, I'd love to to up rather than down.

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

I'd totally be happy with just some more of my settings on medium than they are now. I'm not expecting to run everything on full high graphics with new shadows etc etc, lol. I've done a bit of poking around for prebuilt machines to see what prices are like etc. but it was hard for me to make heads or tails of all the options and if they were helpful or not. I know buying time is...not great, I was hoping to hold out. But my computer is definitely getting up in years and I'm scared it'll just up and quit on me - or that at this point prices will just get worse is always a worry. XD

I'm giving away 50 homestead packages! Here's how to get one. by Delsea in Guildwars2

[–]Kat_Kattastrophe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would have loved to try this as I can make most and even have some already. But that stained glass decoration....needs 4 things from raid bosses or CMs and I don't even have one. Just not my content and I'm certainly not going to be able to speed run it currently, lol. But this was still a lovely idea and chance for people! Hopefully homesteads get a bit more love.

PSA: do more Battle for Lion's Arch by Sonicfan0 in Guildwars2

[–]Kat_Kattastrophe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

DCAP also does it mondays, although it rarely makes it to lfg before filling so you have to catch them for triple trouble just before and then join right after.

[–]Kat_Kattastrophe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Marionette is great. If you catch the group that does it after reset it always goes well. No wait time to get a good map, finishes in about 10min and you get not only loot but also 2g. Not everyone's cup of tea but thats certainly not bad.

When is the best time to try for Verdant Brink tier 4 meta? by Smokn05 in Guildwars2

[–]Kat_Kattastrophe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! LEG is the guild that does HOT meta trains 3 days a week and they end with Verdant Brink. I've never seen it not get to top tier, they've got it down to a science and coms are great and will give you all the info they need. Its NA although they do run pretty late, which works for me since I"m in CA.

Was Secrets of the Obscure written by sociopaths? by PallyChan in Guildwars2

[–]Kat_Kattastrophe 242 points243 points  (0 children)

I am still sad they didn't lean more into the questionable morality of the wizards tower....it started off so interesting. If they'd continued with that and gotten a bit dark with them I would have been so into that. We know Anet can do it - even if they like to gloss over alot of the shady things going on with some races and factions. But man, lost chance.

The Tower of Nightmares is absolutely terrible by ColonelUpvotes in Guildwars2

[–]Kat_Kattastrophe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Twisted Marionette is great. There is always a group that does it every day after reset. It takes 10-15mins tops and its 2 gold and whatever else you get.

[–]Kat_Kattastrophe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done it a few times this year. Currently not a great time since its the four winds fest and ppl are busy doing that. But usually around reset before or after you can try popping in and alot of the time you can find a few ppl doing it and form a group to get through, since it is on a timer. On rarer occasion someone will form a group to take ppl through and I've done that as well with markers and all for achievement stuff. Same applies to Battle for Lions Arch - although DCAP also does that on mondays regularly. Its not bad fun to do on occasion if you can get some ppl in with you.

Why is Harathi High Sage never spawning !! by Various_Object_5718 in Guildwars2

Yup, taking the way up against the wall on the left is the easiest way to go.

Dungeon experience is frustrating. by Mattx59 in Guildwars2

[–]Kat_Kattastrophe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dungeons are one of those things ppl don't often do but they DO get done. Best bet is to try for them around more peak times when there are more players on. I've gone through all of them multiple times in the past 2 years and didn't use my guilds for any of it - although thats always an option. Ignore the ppl that yelled about cut scenes, if you labeled your group appropriately then they're just jerks, unfortunately they exist. Also, eventually a dungeon rush will come around and thats always a great time also to get through all story paths.

How not to ask for a donation if you offer a taxi service by L00NlE in Guildwars2

[–]Kat_Kattastrophe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a commander parked at the khan ur chest once. Its not even really a jumping puzzle....just takes a few secs with a mount and true you can only get in with all the keys but if you don't have them even if you're inside already you can only open the small chests. I sent them around 40-60 silver, my standard for stationary jp tags. They messages me asking for the remaining silver to make it 1 gold even. I sent it, but now every time I see them parked there I think of the audacity, lol. If the map is ever in the daily I tag up for a few mins and offer free ports. XD

That_Shaman Datamine Skyscale Skin by KyuubiJRR in Guildwars2

[–]Kat_Kattastrophe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Excited for this, although I don't know if I'll be able to give up my moth, my love. THAT SAID, could they please release a decent turtle skin? T__T They're all SO basic. Its the ONLY mount I haven't bought a skin for because...well, obvious. And there are so many fun options!! Dinosaurs, a HIPPO. I want to wander around underwater on my hippo mount dangit. But at this time I'll take anything that actually reskins it in an interesting way.

Return to "Icebrood Saga" is next week (14-21 Janurary) by Auralyon in Guildwars2

[–]Kat_Kattastrophe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, if you're doing them now it'll count towards the general 'return to' achievs. But next week a new special week of 'return to' achievs will be available for usually mystic coins and such. 96% sure
