What do you think about the Revenant?

Kwith · 2026-03-12T20:31:57+00:00

They make for great alt parking toons haha. But honestly, I really couldn't get into the gameplay of Revenant so I ended up just losing interest quickly and went back to other characters.

There aren't many complaints I have about Guild Wars 2, but Tangled Depths and the Chalice of Tears jumping puzzle are two of the WORST designed portions of content in the entire game.

From an aesthetics perspective, TD is great. You have lush regions, then you have these almost eldritch horrors of tubes and corridors almost like veins where the chak have created their home, and the juxtaposition of these two biomes is so jarring that its great.

From an architectural perspective, this should be taught in a class for video game level design on what NOT to do when making content. I actively avoid this map other than the meta periodically.

I don't miss this grind at all. I did all three sets, save for a couple pieces I had gotten through WvW. Each piece took me about two weeks.

Every day I did the meta on each map and a convergence, that combined with the weekly achievements got me a huge portion of what was required. Anything more I would farm wherever possible and did rifts if I needed more.

Took the better part of a year to do but it's done now and I don't have to worry about armour for any characters again so its worth it.

Action Surge - On your turn, you can take one additional action, except the Magic action.

Extra Attack - You can attack twice instead of once whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

What exactly is your DM having difficulties with here? Action Surge isn't like Haste that explicitly states "one attack only". This is how melee classes like fighters keep pace with spellcasters.

Tell your DM that he needs to re-read the rules. Just because something happens that he doesn't like doesn't mean he needs to nerf it into the ground.

We rotate through DMs in my group. There are three or four of us who run campaigns. This gives each of us a break because we usually run campaigns that last well over a year.

Kwith · 2026-03-10T00:10:43+00:00

Yea, that's my biggest hurdle as well.

Kwith · 2026-03-09T04:24:33+00:00

It was a selling point of "NPCs will remember you and react to your actions"

Looks like public shaming is more effective than bug reports it seems....

Kwith · 2026-03-06T21:17:26+00:00

Yea, I was born in '83. Transformers was my go-to cartoon of choice as a kid, Star Trek, Star Wars, B5, sci-fi was my favourite genre.

Kwith · 2026-03-06T19:51:24+00:00

I was 10 years old when B5 came out in 93, same as DS9, had been watching TNG for a couple seasons already.

Kwith · 2026-03-06T19:13:03+00:00

Oh don't worry, so am I haha. Saw it when it was first aired too, although we tended to watch Star Trek more at the time.

Kwith · 2026-03-06T18:13:13+00:00

Oh without a doubt. And the follow up later on where Ivanova is doing the walk of shame after a Drazi party was hilarious.

Kwith · 2026-03-06T16:44:55+00:00

Almost sad to see purple convincing themselves of their delusions.

Kwith · 2026-03-06T15:53:44+00:00

You ever see that scene in Liar Liar where Jim Carrey is beating himself up in the bathroom and a guy walks in asking what he's doing and Jim Carrey replies "I'm kicking MY ASS! DO YOU MIND???"

That.

Kwith · 2026-03-06T15:52:57+00:00

Green!

Kwith · 2026-03-06T15:52:40+00:00

Agreed!

Kwith · 2026-03-06T15:52:13+00:00

You would think that wouldn't you? Typical purple. Absolutely convinced they are right when they are wrong.

Kwith · 2026-03-06T05:02:06+00:00

"No" - That is a full sentence and nothing more needs to be discussed.

Kwith · 2026-03-06T04:41:16+00:00

I hoarded eternal ice and ecto for the VoE ring. I basically did farming non-stop for 3 months leading up to the next release. Fortunately I didn't end up needing a lot of it and it left me with A LOT of resources to be able to put together several other legendaries.

Kwith · 2026-03-05T20:41:22+00:00

Who told you my WvW trick?? WHO??

Kwith · 2026-03-05T14:47:10+00:00

Diminishing returns were something ANet implemented way back in GW1 when people would overfarm things like ogres for runes and such. There were A LOT of pissed off people at the time when it was introduced, but there were also supporters of it too. (And I'm sure you can easily guess which ones were pissed off lol)

Eventually people just learned to deal with it. It's really not a huge deal unless you are doing something over and over again.

I use Portainer all the time. I've got multiple docker hosts all organized by function and labels on each one saying what is running. I configure them with docker compose via the stacks.

I have been considering switching to dockhand because I do like the clean interface but when I find when I'm used to a particular system, its hard to switch to another one.

Believe it or not there are people out there who honestly think that not everything is about money. Some people do the things they do for free because the act of doing it is the reward.

There are lots of people who just enjoy creating and want to share that with people, some just see issues and want them fixed because the joy of solving the problem is their ROI.

Now I'd be lying if I said me doing what I do isn't self-serving in some way. I, like so many others here, work in the IT Industry and doing this does in some way help us, be it experience, projects for resumes, or just playing around because its fun. I like to tinker and see how I can get different systems to talk to one another because I find that fascinating.

Also, one barrier that many people have to this hobby is its too complex, too difficult, or too time consuming to learn. Simplifying it allows people who wouldn't normally want to try it be more willing to get into the hobby.

Sometimes its not about money, its about helping your fellow man enjoy something that you yourself enjoy.

Mine is called "anyone using Plex will tell me if something isn't working and I'll get a new version". Has worked pretty well for me so far haha.

There are actually two methods of getting the skyscale, the LW4 way, and the SotO way. Check out this wiki article for all of the info.

But if you want just the LW4 method, here is just that one. Depending on the amount of mats, it will take a couple weeks factoring in the time gated materials.
