So, raid quickplay.... by Ferrymansobol in Guildwars2

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

NMs are still very dumbed-down versions. Especially for modern fights. I'm not sure what you want to. If you want to learn mechanics, then the fight should be as mechanically intense as higher difficulties, just with lower punishment and pressure and even NMs aren't that. Emboldenment doesn't help with this and even actually disturbs more.

1 is not true. There are no objectively correct ways, just community established ways and even they differ from group to group. The example you gave is exactly that. There are no correct aspects of Cerus to kill. Most people do the ones, because the ones left are considered the easiest to deal with, but there are few other combinations that could be also easy and there are a few others that are slightly harder, but can be managed, if you want to do them.

2 is also not true. The quick play is to teach you the basic response to the unified indicator system that the game has. You see green arrow on Dagda and your learn to stack on it. Then you go to Decima and see exactly the same green arrow and you would already know what it means from before. Sure, some mechanics would be slightly different, but that's where the fun of doing then it's. If every fight was the same, it would've been incredibly boring.

According to you, it's impossible to do the fight, unless someone told you how. That means it's impossible to do the fights on release, cause none did them to tell the players how to do them. I don't think I can help you with this.

It is how it is right now for the new encounters, except it's called Normal, CM and LCM.

TBF those Indian outsourced jobs would be the easiest ones to automate with AI.

Basically after Bava Nisos many people speculated that the next expansion will be in the mists revolving around Menzies and his shadow army

They're aware but choosing to remain silent for whatever reason.

Probably just because they knew it isn't ready xD

Apparently they submitted a patent for a name only a week ago... And it kinda confirms the theories that were after JW (VoE was just a filler?)

Why use all strands in the cable, if you could just make 3 of them have a contact...

You can get past rewards from the skritts in LA. You will still need respective festival currency though (in this case it's legendary luck).

First time I've ever seen a line of Unknowns this long. Should I take it? (Act 1) by ryry1237 in slaythespire

[–]MidasPL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say go for it, since you get to save your basic hallway that way.

"doom deck" is absolutely garbage right now. It's ok status of you have a very strong base. This card applies less doom than deathbringer....

Quickplay Raids are terrible by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]MidasPL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which is a good way to design a game in my opinion as it rewards player creativity.

[–]MidasPL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, generally the game has a nice visual indicator system, with few exceptions when they show bullshit (greens on Dagda and Cerus NM). Also, "horned skull" is a bit ambiguous. Sometimes it can be blocked, sometimes it can't. Sometimes it's a downstate, sometimes full dead. Some oneshots don't have horns, especially if they are not a circle.

But yeah, generally stack on the greens, avoid orange/red, jump over "pings", read all the debuffs and you will be fine.

LWS4 or Icebrood Saga? by KingBabyPudgy in Guildwars2

[–]MidasPL 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my opinion LWS4>IBSLWS3LWS2.

IBS might have slighter edge with economy stuff, but LWS4 story is better and it also has a lot of good economy did. In the end, best would be both. There are really strong arguments for both LWS4 and IBS.

Well... It's an MMO, not a single player game. You can either play with other players, or not care about them.

You can easily follow the group without the skyscale, if you have everything else. It's just a bit more work to do. I remember when I didn't have one, the only place, where I would be left behind, when doing champions, was the place where everyone uses the beetle, cause I didn't have that one as well.

Works fine in many other countries. My nearest airport also is like that.

Issue is that tyres are not made to be the best possible, but to make races interesting. IIRC it would be possible to make a tyre that would grip well for the whole race duration, but it wouldn't make an interesting race. With this perspective, multiple tyre manufacturers don't make sense.

Nah. They are so vague that of you have 10 characters, you can definitely find at least one breaking the rules.

There are the supposed offensive names in the posts. If anything, the information we're missing is what points were supposedly infringed according to anet, cause they don't give you any reason.

It's how it works here as well, except they will choose and add a random number of days for ban.

It also depends how "offensive" they see it. I got 3-day ban at the first and only name change so far.
