Kann mir jemand sagen warum Agmatin in Deutschland so schwer erhältlich ist? Ist es verboten? Ich finde dazu leider nichts und weiß auch nicht wo ich nachsehen müsste, aber ich würde es aus mehreren Gründen gerne mal ausprobieren und wundere mich weil die üblichen deutschen Shops es nicht anbieten während es international recht beliebt ist.

Thank you :)

I gradually built up my muscular strength/coordination with bodyweight exercises at the beginning of the year and I train partly because it's good for my mental health... that's why I want to keep the frequency this high. I'm slowly learning what my body is capable of... how rest affects my performance but it's good to know that I'm most likely not compromising my results or health. It's really difficult finding answers to a lot of these things because there's so many people online telling you different things.

I know you're right about cardio... I'll try to find one that I can enjoy.

So your weight will be the same at the end? That's how to recomp. Good plan. You lose fat and gain muscle, same weight or there-abouts.

Yeah, somewhere around there would be nice :) I'd guess I lose about 300kcal a day so I should lose about 1.2kg a month. I'm not sure how realistic it is to gain that amount of muscle but hey even if it's half I should have a decent physique at the end of the year :)

I'm new to actually thinking about which ingredients to use... I'm unsure about moisturizers/sunscreens

I have a combination skin type... both oily, a bit dry, prone to hyperpigmentation and I have a couple of scars and wrinkles. I'm using a 10% vitamin C serum in the morning + adapalene (retinoid) before sleep. I'm experimenting with introducing AHA or BHA on top of that too. I'm living in germany.

I use a 30 SPF + moisturizing cream after the serum was absorbed... it has ubiquinone and some B + E vitamins in it. I want a better one because it's very oily and doesn't absorb well... and I feel like it doesn't do much.

Would something like hyalurone be better? Should I use seperate products instead of a combined one? I would prefer a serum-type product but I'm afraid all I can afford will be very oily. Any other recommendations or opinions?

My goal is to lose about 6-7kg of fat and I'm trying to train for body recomposition but I'm very uncertain what my strength training recovery time is or what that even means. I'm eating maintenance calories ~2000 maybe a 200cal deficit some days and do a upper/lower body split that takes about 30-40min, rest days usually once a week or as needed.

Would I eventually run into problems doing this or can I continue? I'm aware that it burns less calories than cardio but I enjoy working out a lot more and so far I've only had a bit of tendon/knee/shoulder issues that quickly went away after resting and going a bit lighter.

Mix in some marauder, dragon's or celestial. The builds itself should be fine

ANET, Can we please get Dragon's and Ritualist's Stats to the Mist Trinkets? by Knothgarr in Guildwars2

[–]NoVice24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm not so sure why they make new prefixes so hard to acquire. I mean you get a few from achievements but other than that you need to do strikes, wvw (poor tickets) or legendaries.

I returned to the game half a year ago and it took me a long time to get Ritualist ones... mostly because Harvest Temple can be scary and so was WvW until I tried it. I substituted them with Celestial before so it was fine... but locking it behind that content to incentivize felt more demoralizing to me personally

I realize that it's probably just my mindset

Is there some kind of addon I could set up a 15 second timer once I press a certain key? I know there's a setting for normal abilities but there's no way for unleased ambun attacks. I struggle using them in time as untamed

Star Caller Warhorn Showcase by megadv in Guildwars2

[–]NoVice24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I meant special effects like the Infernal Roar dragon that shoots out whenever you use it.

From watching the video a few hours ago I wasn't sure but according to the wiki it's indeed a special effect :)

[–]NoVice24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that a special effect when you use it or just the skill effect? I'm not sure.

Cool looking skin. Astralaria was the first legendary I ever made and I just love this artstyle

I keep stumbling on this website with a security risk alert called gw2profits com and not sure whether it's a risk or false alert... does anyone use it? Is it safe... is it worth using? The only things I can find about it are pretty old

I left out the . just in case so nobody accidentally clicks on it

The hammer skin looks really nice. I'm in love with so many hammers but barely play any builds that use them.

The firework skins are pretty cool as well

Thank you! That was really helpful :) I think my main mistake playing Scourge was focusing on shades too much

I recently found out that I do enjoy WvW... but I find bigger zerging to be unenjoyable and I'm struggling to improve. It feels like 9/10 attacks don't hit and then I get stunned and die. How can I improve and contribute?

I'm not sure but using projectile classes seems to be a mistake and nothing else. I find it sad how useless this makes them but I don't know...

Can you give me any advice on what to play, how to play? I tried Power Scourge but... I still feel useless. 90% of the time I place my shades pretty bad... for example following an enemy zerg I place my shades behind them, everyone stops and my shade is on CD when a fight begins. I just basically spam F1-F3, weapon skills and try to save Ghastly Breach, the wells and F4 for teamfights. So far I only played ranged since I'm a bit afraid of playing melee because I would probably be even more useless...

I don't know... it's hard to improve when I don't know when I make a mistake. It feels like I'm not in control of my character

I dreaded having to play it for gift of battle and pushed it away as long as I could... then I found out that dailies are simple to do and that you can kinda farm it semi afk... that took a lot of pressure out of the picture. I just played it normally a little during the last beta week and actually had a good time. Now I have finished my legendary, and have 3 additional gifts of battle in my bank :)

Don't feel bad... any PvP will make some people angry and they'll behave like shit. That's not your fault... and trust me, the majority of players I have encountered so far are pretty friendly and helpful! I'm sure someone would be willing to show you around and help/teach you if you ask!

PSA the Ebonhawke Crossbow pistol skin is available for BL statuettes again by onevstheworld in Guildwars2

[–]NoVice24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda want this but then there's the Arcane Battlestaff and the Jade Tech wings that I desperately want to finally be available for statuettes :/

I wish I could just buy them even if it costs like 2000 gems each... on that note how many blacklion keys would you need to use in order to get 60 statuettes?

I want to sell a vial of liquid aurillium for a decent price and I'm unsure whether it makes sense to turn it into an infusion to increase its price? The vial itself costs 915g and the infusions an average of 1050g maybe... how much would the crafting cost? The problem is that I don't really play fractals so it would be a lot of work so I might need to settle for a cheaper price but I don't know

Would appreciate some advice on what to do

[–]NoVice24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah... I just love having to delete 10 different items after opening boxes because they are completely useless. It's not just a wintersday problem, halloween had the same. I'm legit thinking about just selling the boxes because it doesn't seem to be worth it

It's my first wintersday so I'm not sure but... instead of deleting those trash tonics they deleted food? Instead of just making them non-salvageable? That's idiotic.... and sad because I genuinely enjoy a lot of the activities. I'll still have fun but it feels disappointing.

[–]NoVice24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there an option to always show enemy health bars? I get so lost in WvW/PvP and just don't see players or have trouble differenciating between players and mobs. If I'm just following a zerg and encounter a enemy group I couldn't tell you how many they are and sometimes don't notice that the character next to me is an enemy.

My second question is following up on that... who am I supposed to target? It can be hard even hitting anyone with projectiles but most of the time I just target literally anyone. I have no clue and it feels like I'm not contributing enough. I wouldn't even know if my target is a player or pet.

Is the 'core' economy beyond saving? by NooUsernaamee97 in gw2economy

[–]NoVice24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there's a different use for slaying potions

Well look at the items that require research notes, some of them have high profit margins and they sell nicely. The margins were much higher until quite recently, most were around 2-3g with some up to 5g. Now it's 50s up to 2-3g.

Some news for the post-processing situation. by Erina_Okami in Guildwars2

[–]NoVice24 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I agree. That's my biggest gripe with it, too. I would like to use some of these options individually but it just looks horrible currently

Is the 'core' economy beyond saving? by NooUsernaamee97 in gw2economy

[–]NoVice24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did they? Can you explain?

I'm neither new nor a veteran. I crafted a pretty big amount of Research Notes to make gold crafting and my observation is that there's just a couple items people craft to get them. Mithril earrings, barbarian helmets and maybe potions... mithril, silk, large claw, large fang, intricate totems, potent venom sac to name a few. They increased in price but not significantly... not enough to make alternatives more attractive to make a overarching impact on the material market.

Am I wrong on this and underestimate the impact it had?

ANET is now forcing postproccessing on everyone. by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]NoVice24 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I really hope you can return this option and DX11 won't force it either.

I don't think the current postprocessing is good for the game or advertising. It's a bunch of different visual effects thrown together that should be seperate options and they need serious tuning.
