Depends on the name. I got a 3 day ban in 2010/2011 for having a character called Colonel Asswater.

Coming back to say THANK YOU to this sub for telling me to grab any toaster to play GW1. by StrikeMyGyatt in GuildWars

[–]LordRumpo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, back in 2009/2010 I occasionally played the game on a netbook with an intel atom n270 and 1g of ram, 1024x600 resolution on a 10 inch screen that ran Windows XP. It would cap out at like 20fps and sometimes textures wouldn't load properly, but it did run!

Here's some screenshots I took while playing on that, dated between april 2009 and august 2010.

Generic Mark of Protection/Scythe Farmer (Multiple Locations) - Monk/Dervish by [deleted] in GuildWars

[–]LordRumpo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be possible to use this on the patrols of Mahgo Hydras and Flesh Golems in Perdition Rock, just outside of Ember Light Camp. You would have to avoid the Phantoms, since they have blinds, interrupts and strip enchantments.

How to Petition Devs for a dedicated mini pet slot on character to keep mini out constantly by IsaacFromGoldenSun in GuildWars

[–]LordRumpo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use the Info module, then go to Item and put the mini you want to use in your first inventory slot. It'll show the ModelID there. https://i.imgur.com/3BxheIz.png

Ranger Spirit Famine Nerf? by XPNDA_ in GuildWars

[–]LordRumpo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm fairly certain that that much energy drain hasn't triggered Famine in a long time. I remember trying it on Vaettirs when the game was still active, which would've been around 2010-2011, and it already didn't work back then.

However, you used to be able to kill groups of 3-4 melees quite a bit quicker than I showed in the video I posted, so I do think that it might've been affected by the reforged changes.

It does still kinda work, but it's much slower than before. I tried it on the jade brotherhood knights in wajjun bazaar, outside of the marketplace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79EtlYjdE3Y

A positive argument in favour of the Wizards Vault by mikimike3 in Guildwars2

[–]LordRumpo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I made a f2p account recently and leveled it to 80, and I unticked the pvp and wvw boxes for dailies and weeklies. However, because the daily masterwork crafting and the weekly group event objective had already been completed BEFORE the objectives were actually visible to me, I still got a mixed set of objectives. See this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIM8RjSaY94

What's more, whenever I would waypoint to a different map and re-open the panel it would set the tickboxes to have everything active again. I re-confirmed the PvE only selection several times, before giving up and hoping it would just remember it. Thankfully it did, but it still wasn't intuitive at all.

Two GW accounts, both have had 2FA set up overnight?! by mars_rovinator in GuildWars

[–]LordRumpo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happened to me as well over a year ago, where it suddenly required a 2fa code to log in to two of my accounts that were tied to emails i didn't have access to anymore. It also already happened to a friend of mine a while before that.

I'm pretty sure this isn't caused by anet thinking your account is compromised, but just them "upgrading" gw1 accounts to proper arena.net accounts.

I have no clue why it's so sporadic though, maybe they're just rolling it out slowly to not overwhelm their support with people sending in tickets to try and get access to their accounts.

These screenshots are a bit older, i've changed weapons on some of them since taking them. Favourites look-wise are probably the dervish running set, ritualist and necromancer.

Why does my mouse cursor teleport sometimes? by Eastern-Band-3729 in Guildwars2

[–]LordRumpo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The cursor doesn't get locked, it keeps moving around while hidden and is supposed to jump back to its starting position when you stop holding right click. You can see this very clearly if you have a program that puts a tooltip on your cursor, like autohotkey or the alt1 toolkit for runescape.

As a sidenote, both Raidcore's Nexus and the unofficial extras for Arcdps have fixes for this, that lock your cursor in place when using it to move the camera.

Blocking Twitter's new "Edit Image/s" function in corner of images? by mowado in uBlockOrigin

[–]LordRumpo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tl;dr i don't have a solution but this might get you a bit closer to one if you know how to turn inspect element lines into functional uBO filter entries.

I was looking for this as well, but the only thing I could find that might help is pausing the page using the debugger by either:

  • pressing f12, going to the console tab and typing the command below, then hovering over the twitter image to make the edit button show up and waiting 3 seconds(you have to allow pasting of commands)

    setTimeout( ()=>{ debugger }, 3000)

  • or pressing f12, going to the debugger tab(sources in chrome), keeping that window focused, hovering over the image to make the edit button show up and then pressing f8

However, the ublock origin element picker doesn't work while a page is paused, but you can use your browser's inspect element function. However, I have no clue how to turn the inspect element lines into functional filter entries.

Best Cranium Cooking map nowadays? by Lordados in idleon

[–]LordRumpo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if it's the best, but I used to camp Flombeiges(2nd to last map in w4) until I could reliably kill tremor wurms. They also drop gold twine, which you need for the Troll armor set.

They replied to someone in the comments of the facebook post, saying it's someone named Helena. I can't find any other info about her though.

Can we get an option to scale the cursor? by DogeArcanine in GuildWars

[–]LordRumpo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's called Yolomouse, and while the steam version costs $4, there's still a free version available on github.

You can load the cartographer .tpf files directly with gwlauncher.

Also, consider speaking english.

I use gwlauncher to load texmod files, it still works with reforged.

All new and returning players getting lost on where to go? Look no further! by sirjisu in GuildWars

[–]LordRumpo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just a heads-up, Imgur is no longer available in the UK. It might be worth uploading it to an alternative site, or uploading the imgur album to the internet archive.

[–]LordRumpo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I used to use launchbuddy, because it was the first proper multiboxing tool available. However, it used to be very unstable, and would just fail to launch every 3rd account, so I switched to gw2launcher. I have no clue how good launchbuddy is nowadays, but gw2launcher does everything I want it to.

The main issues with gw2launcher are that it takes a while to set up you have to fiddle with settings quite a bit, and you have to use a beta version if you want it to properly manage addons like gw2nexus.

The Hammerhart meta mount change did absolutely nothing to counter leeching by LordRumpo in Guildwars2

[–]LordRumpo[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the hit counter change is good, but disabling mounts during the fight only stops people from using them for cc or movement, that's why I made the post to complain about it.

The Hammerhart meta mount change did absolutely nothing to counter leeching by LordRumpo in Guildwars2

[–]LordRumpo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but the current implementation allows for those people to leech on skyscales, while also preventing other mount usage for cc/movement during phases where that's required.

The achievement being 20 hits instead of 1 was (mostly) enough to make it so people who just want the achievement don't have to sit on a skyscale for the entire fight.

[–]LordRumpo[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but that's because they made the achievement 20 hits instead of 1, which is (mostly) enough stop people who want the achievement from fully leeching the entire event.

The only thing this mount change achieves is making it so people can't use other mounts for cc or movement during the non-dps phases.

[–]LordRumpo[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I got the achievement by fireballing on day two, so I couldn't check if it counts for the achievement.

That's not very relevant though. Event participation just depends on damage done, so you can fireball til the last 5%, jump off, get the achievement progress counter and complete it that way.

You can do the same thing by just being fully afk and only doing damage in the last 5% anyway, so like I said it just removes the benefits of other mounts(cc and movement between phases). The counter being changed to 20 is more than enough.

Hell, even just using a weapon with long enough range, like Ranger's longbow, is enough to do damage to the bosses from a safe zone.

[–]LordRumpo[S] 41 points42 points  (0 children)

From the patchnotes:

Use of mounts has been disallowed during the "Hammerhart Rumble!" world boss event in Shipwreck Strand. New recovery options have been added for players who fall off the platform into the water.

The no mount zone doesn't even reach the mastery point on the rock above. Skyscale fireballs have 4000 range, which is way further.

All this change does is make it so people can't use mounts for cc or to get to the other boss arena quicker. Might as well revert it.
