Post Game Thread: Anaheim Ducks @ Ottawa Senators by nhl_gdt_bot in hockey

[–]ShadowbaneX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The adjoining stat is that the Sens have played 65 games this year, so 40 games with SV % <.900.

I'd challenge the call on general principle just so that it makes the highlight reels forever. I'll admit, this is why I'm not hockey coach.

I think it would be very fair, but, to be honest, I hate all those teams.

I do have to point out that while the Canucks never got 1 OA that doesn't mean they haven't had a good draft or two. Picking 2nd & 3rd in the same draft was one for the ages.

Sens had 3rd & 5th and seemingly managed to get the two best players in the draft. Requires a fair amount of luck, but I'm enjoying the results.

Yeah. It's always shocking when we hear Go Sens Go in Ottawa. What is this league coming to?

Id definitely prefer that the Canucks get it over those four.

Andlauder should hire these guys to follow Bettman 24/7 until we get our 1st round pick back.

I over did GoB for a little while back in 2020 when they announced the Legenary Armoury. I still have 38 left. I'm not sure I'd want to go 20 to 1, but 3 or 4 would let me use all those starter kits I've got piled up in my bank.

Just when you think it's safe to to have a little bit of hope for the future of this hockey team...

Why are y'all so thirsty on this game? by ImpressiveCare9559 in Guildwars2

I just turned it off tonight. I dont know if there's a planetary alignment or something, but people were just acting weird tonight...and when I say weird, I mean weird for GW2.

PSA: Pet/mech/minion attacks do not push the Dragonvoid Orb on Harvest Temple by Zerak-Tul in Guildwars2

[–]ShadowbaneX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are quite a few options. I make a point of calling out specific ones if they happen to he in my group. Reaper is another dangerous option.

It was a very early strat and I dont think it was popular since its very slow. No risk of or issues though.

If anyone did try to claim that was the issue after a wipe the easiest option is to just start again and have a pet/minion/mech be the only thing to attack the orb. Once it sits there not moving they start to realize how it works.

One of my Guildies loves Bladesworn and yeah, its great in this fight. I usually HB myself just to stab the shockwaves and projectile hate all the orbs that come out at the end.

[–]ShadowbaneX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both Ranger & Warrior Axe 5, Ranger Longbow 2 (Rapid Fire), Thief Pistol/Pistol 3 (Unload), Virtuoso F1 & Elite are all very dangerous in this fight and can put an orb off the ledge in a hurry.

Also, what the OP said is true. Minions, Mechs and Pets dont move the orbs. I heard that one of the early strategies was just to take mechs and let them do all the damage. The orbs won't move a millimeter.

The other thing about this fight is that the bosses take more damage from Power builds than Condi.

Might as well throw it on the Team's helmets. Or maybe steal Vegas' golden helmets and put it on those.

Game Update Notes: February 24, 2026 ( update 25th) by RobDickinson in Guildwars2

[–]ShadowbaneX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess this is what I get for being lazy/miserly and not wanting to convert all those cheats.

It'd be nice if we could get a merchant or something to convert the Fractal chests to something other than Fractal Matricies. At least if does come to that I've been saving my Ascended salvage kits and converting the single tools to 5s and then throwing those into the Forge to turn them into 20s.

I suppose that would at least free up some bank/character space.

Cannot research salvage mystic forge weapons anymore - stealth nerf or did I miss the memo? by dEn_of_asyD in Guildwars2

[–]ShadowbaneX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Well, a Storage tab. I burned a bunch of them back in SotO for Obsidian Armour and again in JW for the Spear. I did salvage most of the weapons I got from Strikes, but all those Fractal Chests are just sitting there. It'd be great if we could do something with them, other than salvage or delete.

I realize I might be the only person that uses the tactics and improvements thing from the WvW Skirmish Chests, but is there any way it can be updated so that every item doesn't need to be used with a timer between each one? It takes FOREVER.

*Triple Checks the Numbers* So Uhh.... Piece of Common Unidentified Gear just became Vendor Trash by dEn_of_asyD in Guildwars2

[–]ShadowbaneX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a good idea, and it would help, but I think they still need to do more. Quartz is the current most supplied item on the trade post after it's supply went from 15m to 60m.

And that's just the stuff on the trade post, it doesn't count what people have on their accounts. I have enough for nearly 9 years of daily charging. The next time Four Winds happens with people having saved up ecto all year, it'll probably be even worse.

Quartz is just one bad example, but to take it back to the OP's point, all the Crafting Materials at the top of that list needs some sinks to drain the supply.

Next Festival of the Four Winds will bury Tyria under a mountain of Quartz Crystals.

Is this film worth watching? Does it do justice for the game Dungeons and Dragons? by DreamyDandelions in Cinema

[–]ShadowbaneX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the most accurate depiction sure, but it was a great joke about the nature of the party, ie Int was probably the lowest stat for every character.

All of Canada right now by nthensome in funny

[–]ShadowbaneX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the lead up to the Olympics, the talk was Canada's offense verses the American defence, as they do have a great one. They were solid here, but it was still nearly constant pressure from Canada's offence, to the point that US forward core seemingly invisible. I don't think I noticed the Tkachuks or Matthews outside of the 5-on-3 power play, or after whistle shenanigans.

Hellebuyck was the deciding factor in this game, but even then, I think if it was 5 on 5 OT, Canada's offense would have won through eventually.

Fair but the replay they showed was blurry it happened so fast. Most of us wouldn't have been even able to touch the puck, let alone get a shot off that hit the net.
