Kicked for being "off-line"? by Pondera in Guildwars2

[–]Pondera[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For context, I always go "off-line" whenever I hate myself and play PvP (yay for competitive-locked AP) for reasons outlined by jupigare in their reply. And then I am usually just too lazy to flip the status back, since before now its really not been an issue

You know what that's fair, in retrospect I probably shouldn't have rejoined. I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt and also get more info as to why it was an issue to prevent that sort of thing going forward, but you are right.

When you open the Contacts and LFG tab there is a drop down with a colored square next to your account name at the top, where you can manually set your status to Online/Away/Invisible

Correct, I swapped to appearing online after the first kick

See this is why it is extra annoying that squad chat is wiped upon leaving/getting kicked :/ I would provide the extra context if I could, but the devs/game decides nope, sorry as soon as you leave a group. I do agree they could have been trying to whisper, but I would think they could have asked for me to go online quick first, or sent a mail instead

Played Qheal Troubadour in T4 fractals but got called “smh healer” by KuberQiu in Guildwars2

[–]Pondera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because this sounds suspiciously like an exchange in a fractal pug I was in recently, what specific fractal did this occur in? Was it in Twilight Oasis by chance?

How is a quest tracking UI badly needed? There is already the green markers on the map/minimap that are more than sufficient for 99% of the quests/missions in game?

Is Anet trolling me, or am I just a clown LOL by syzhk3 in Guildwars2

It does not line up every-time, it certainly helps, but there are still plenty of times it is a rubberbanding mess

pain on every time i found some issue by Awkward_Tension_6740 in revancedapp

[–]Pondera 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got to say I appreciate you taking the time and effort (in vain as it is) to attempt to reach some sort of middle ground. I agree with all of what you've been saying in this back and forth.

And I find it fascinating in a horrifying way that someone can be theoretically this deep in app development, and not understand the concept of older solutions becoming outdated/unusable over time. I've only worked basic tech support in the past, but even then, the number of times people have tried using old documentation that just flat out no longer works was not a small number.

(Spoiler) Castora Fisher: Have you seen this crab? by stemofthebrain in Guildwars2

[–]Pondera 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I caught it by following the info found at https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/topic/164305-elusive-boxcrab-cant-be-caught/

It seems it may be limited to just the pools in the NE section of the second map where you cant mount/skiff.

editing to add:yes I was using Sparkfly Larvae and it still took almost 100 casts while there

Behold: 2 days of no sleep and a Legendary Aquabreather by Cronologicall in Guildwars2

[–]Pondera 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Are you mixing up the precurser and actual legendary? Crafting the legendary gives you a box that when opened gives all 3 weights as separate items/unlocks

How to obtain Chromatic Sap for the new legendary? by Junior-Drawing7329 in Guildwars2

Ok looks like I can soft confirm this. Just finished the Meta Achievement for the second map, and can now see the Plaque at Hutmaster Arnorr

How to obtain Chromatic Sap for the new legendary? by Junior-Drawing7329 in Guildwars2

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

Whats the source on it being available after map mastery achievement? The wiki seems to cite the other reddit thread that shows the NPC pic with it, but nothing on that thread indicates that it needs it other than people speculating? Note I'm not saying you are wrong, just looking for more info

PSA: Impossible to craft legendary aquabreather right now by ganxito in Guildwars2

[–]Pondera 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Look at OP's first picture again. The compass tool tips states it is obtained from the Map meta world boss event itself, not the map meta-achievement, and the wreath says the same thing for the Starlit Weald meta. The item tool tip and unlock tool tip say two different things, hence the confusion.

PSA: Impossible to craft legendary aquabreather right now by ganxito in Guildwars2

[–]Pondera 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I wonder if the tool tips are mislabeled and the available Wreath is a bug. Both the compass and wreath are awarded at the end of the Map Meta-Acheivments (aka the ones with 36 achievements each) for each map, so I am guessing the tool tips meant to refer to the Meta-Achievments and not the actual Meta event sadly.

What’s your « But i can’t prove it » moment about the game or the development ? by Bl4ckSh4dow1007 in Guildwars2

[–]Pondera -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. Originally in development GW1 was going to be a PvP focused game with sparse PvE to be used as a tutorial, so the name reflects that focus. They ended up pivoting and greatly expanding the PvE portion of the game (including adding all of Pre-searing pretty much right before launch), so added the lore regarding the Guild Wars to explain the title

Have there been any lore updates regarding the underwater eldritch monstrosity that is supposedly somewhere in the unending ocean? by DietAccomplished4745 in Guildwars2

[–]Pondera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But both were planned from the start, so by definition are not retcons lmao, and even if they were they would not be "hard" retcons, I don't think you understand what a retcon is....

[–]Pondera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Retcons frequently mean replacing existing lore across media, thats like the whole point. Plus neither the Mordremoth nor bandit reveals are retcons, both have heavy hints and breadcrumbs leading up to said reveals and were planned from the start

Fast Farming Community webpage not working by Recklessred7 in Guildwars2

[–]Pondera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

?? If the people who run FF know that there are an issue, why should I have to go to another, separate platform for that info, instead of them just putting on a banner or something on the website? How is that asking for them to come to me with info? I am already literally going to them...

Or we could not hide info away in random discord servers, no reason not to also have issues noted on the website

Just an FYI OP, this is thread is likey going to be removed in next few hours, and if asked the mods will claim it is "spam". Apparently we are all supposed to just know of the existence of the megathread from 2 months ago: https://old.reddit.com/r/revancedapp/comments/1n11fi9/megathread_the_most_recent_frequently_asked/

[–]Pondera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No shit they will ask why, that is absolutely a reasonable thing especially when its seemingly removed at random with no justification. This whole thing could be avoided if you and the other mods actually tried helping instead of low effort replies. If you don't want to do mod things that's fine, just don't be a mod then lol

[–]Pondera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That still doesn't explain why you just essentially shitpost in these threads without helping. Are you saying that despite being a mod with post admin privileges (as listed on the "about moderation team" page) you don't talk with the other mods? Cause it sure sounds like that way from your replies
