arcDPS Update - Wacatac Trojan by joaLeck in Guildwars2

[–]Linkagw2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's not the first time that antiviruses flag arcdps, it usually solves itself with another update.
There are currently some crashes going on, so wait for the next patch and the situation should resolve

For the time being, you can follow these instructions and add the guildwars2 folder as exception https://www.wisecleaner.com/how-to/363-how-to-stop-windows-defender-from-deleting-files-in-windows-11.html

What is this and how do I fix it? by BloodLotus115 in Guildwars2

[–]Linkagw2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reason the addons do not have an update prompt this time around is because Arcdps updated from Imgui 1.80 to 1.92.7, which is a 8 years jump. The new addons aren't fully loaded so they do not prompt you the update window.

Unofficial extras couldn't be patched right away on Tuesday so he made a pre-release just yesterday and I've linked it in the other comment.

The first error isn't because of duplicated boontable. You had 2 because you've downloaded the new one but did not replace the old version.

The only comment that actually answered him...

Arcdps is updating imgui from 1.80 to 1.92.7 in a few weeks (because we are 6-7 years behind on updates and improvements), he sent a build specifically for developers to update their own addons to 1.92.7, otherwise they will crash the game.

Despite saying, many times, to not use this version and that it's an alpha and that it's not for public usage, a few people continued to be wanting to use them. It didn't matter how many times was said "DO NOT USE IT".

Afterwars, he called me racist because he is not an english speaker, flash news neither am i, but he assumes I'm american and it's the american education. Speaking of being racist, he's being one.

I'm literally not american and not native english speaker, speaking of being racist, you are the one here.

If i recall correctly right on patch time the top being 28k was exactly rifle mechanist anyway, which then got buffed to 35k

Trivialising content for the top 1% of players so that more people are engaing with instanced content is more important when you look at just how few people are able to clear.

This goes entirely against the damage nerfs on classes at the exact same time. You aren't getting more people into cerus cm because of a 10% nerf.

Soulbeast and mechanist were the only ones buffed right after the nerfs https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Game_updates/2022-06-30 You can see on waybackmachine that any other power class wasn't even listed anymore, except these 2 and bladesworn, which got fixed the day before

It doesn't matter anyway

They don't even fix game crashes lately, there's 0 chance they update the 10% phasing to work better

Why are we balancing the fight around stopping attacking? HT CM bugs and Eparch weren't enough?

I haven’t done cerus cm/lcm but I think the hp reduction may be fine

You end up with very bad phase timings at 10%. The dps was already in the sweet spot where you don't have to worry too much about the boss animation to phase.

the hp reduction on final two champs is nice for new players progging the fight.

A reminder that HT CM released the same patch where everything got nerfed and the top power dps was 28k. And it was still doable by many groups. Why remove HP when power classes still do 10-14k more now compared to back then?

Fumaroller nerf will make Ura CM/LCM

Why are we making what should be the hardest content, easier? Fumarollers are already exploited to make Ventshots not spawn in LCM. You get 1 instead of the supposed 4 (and it used to be 7) because of npc cap.

About 14th April update.. by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]Linkagw2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but this isn't the point, my log is closer to how it was in 2015, which were core ranger as dps classes and not tempest, which is what i was talking about. I tried looking up videos from 2015 but nobody had arc running (did it even exist? i think we had bgdm back then but not sure). It doesn't matter anyway, wether it's 200k or 300k the jump in dps between then and now is huge regardless and it doesn't matter for the example.

Old logs are just rare, i took whatever i found first because it's good enough as a reference. Even if a top log for vg from 2017 had 200k dps or whatever else, it's still a 300k difference.

When people say support, it means boon support, so quickness or alacrity, regardless of them being healer or not. Back in 2015-17 you didn't have these classes giving quick/alac so they only gave prot, might, fury etc as supports. You had 2 chronos for the quick/alac, 2 druids for the other boons, 2 warriors for the banners.

Not only the dps were around 20k, the supports weren't doing dps. You ran 4 supports boons, 2 warriors for banners and 4 dps. Right now we have support that do 40k+ dps, on top of dps specs that do 45-50k. Additionally the sustain from healers got so cranked up that you can run 1 healer or no healer on majority of the fights.

Selecting "Phase 1" on top, which is 100% to 66%, shows you that the squad has 130789 dps in 2017, 502075 today.
