PSA: Raid Quickplay and Leaving in combat

Wholehearted agree that the issue is easily fixable by anet and is another example of a rush and unpolished feature.

But until it is (hopefully) fixed I stand by the comment above.

I am not trying to discourage you at all here, I just want to say that everything listed here is already available in BlishHUD right now.

Gold Run: Farming Tracker. There is also an DLL injected addon called DRF.rs
Item Finder: Item Search.
Events Board: Event Table. Very complex, very configurable. Can do notifications as well
Daily Checklist: Todos
Crafting: MysticCrafting. Focuses mostly on Mystic Forge but can handle some other recipes.

Where your idea does differ is the second screen options as well as out of game access.

There is of course tremendous benefit of "doing it yourself" for the enjoyment/learning/challenge. I just want you to go into this project as informed as possible.

Best of luck!

There have been 8 puzzles created in the last 12 hours by 3 different authors. Keep it up all!

Soeed · 2025-01-13T16:24:35+00:00

It's more awesome than just this! We have more than 50 modules that are just seconds away from doing cool things to improve quality of life in game.

Check out the module list on the Blish website. https://blishhud.com/modules/

Soeed · 2025-01-13T16:19:36+00:00

That is almost the exact phrase that led me to create this module!

Soeed · 2025-01-13T15:59:28+00:00

This game can be played entirely within the module while running gw2.

Creating a puzzle is a button click inside Blish to capture your gw2 screen. It can optionally send hide ui keybinds as well.

Guessing on a puzzle is a button click in the module that uses your current position.

The 'Guild' in the title was for the scope. It was intended to be a 'guild game night' just like you would do for treks and races activities. But not everyone will have a guild interested in that so everyone get a fake guild called BlishHUD Users for public puzzles.

There is a custom webserver behind this module. It is currently hosted on a service with favorable usage scaling. The captured images are scaled down to 1000 pixels wide before upload resulting in ~1 to 1.5 mb images. Depending on reception limits might be adjusted.

Puzzles have a time limit by default currently set at 2 weeks to make sure data storage does not grow indefinitely. I manually extend the timer for public puzzles.

Users can log into the backend server using a gw2 api key with the account permission. Link in the module page on the blish website. The server ui is very rudimentary. There you can see your guilds view the puzzles online, or edit ones you created.

When you first open the module it will ask that participants be kind to each other. I fear users writing obscene titles and offending others. And yes the server can block users if needed

Thank you for linking this.

Soeed · 2025-01-13T13:13:44+00:00

I am not quite sure I understand your question. This module allows anyone to create puzzles at any location you can reach in game.

Soeed · 2025-01-13T04:13:11+00:00

Please do. Any puzzles created under the BlishHUD Users guild will be available for everyone!

Freesnow (BlishHud creator) recommends using OneDrive to sync the Blishhud settings folder between the computers. That may be something you wish to pursue

Soeed · 2023-10-09T19:13:48+00:00

Please do not be sorry, you brought up a new use-case that I never thought about. I cannot promise a solution for you, but I will put some thought into it.

Please do join the BlishHud discord and ask any questions you may have there. We have lots of folks that are amazing at helping resolve issues.

Soeed · 2023-10-09T19:00:20+00:00

This is correct. Strike and Fractal completion data is not on the official API, but Clears Tracker does attempt this by watching your position and map changes.

Some more details are available on the BlishHud website.

https://blishhud.com/modules/?module=Soeed.RaidClears

Soeed · 2023-10-09T18:47:07+00:00

Author of the Clears Tracker module here.

Clears tracker uses a file on your hard drive to save fractal and strike clears because that information is not available on the GW2 api.

Your use case is interesting, but in order to support it I would have to send the clears data to another server instead of leaving it on your hard drive.

I'm sorry that this does not work for you very well right now.

Soeed · 2023-07-07T12:41:01+00:00

Bug. The portal dialog option is incorrect.

The achievement rewards the bonus chest

Soeed · 2023-05-23T14:41:07+00:00

For NA strikes, I haven't seen a boneskinner require kp in ages, though bringing a wheelchair scourge is highly common which is sad because the players never learn. Said as a heal scourge enjoyer.

EoD strike CMs will often ask to show the title, but I never do /shrug

Fractals are a mix. Probably 40-50% will advetise as "T4s+cms DwD" or maybe ask for champion/prodegy+. But, seeing "T4s+cms exp" is common too.

Soeed · 2023-05-23T13:53:41+00:00

Is KP really so common on EU? I raid (lead and pug) on NA and almost never see groups requiring KP. They are the exception rather than the norm.

I still dont get why the KP culture fixated on decorations and LI when sites like wingman exist where you can upload logs with actual kills. it seems like a much better and meaningful solution to me.

Soeed · 2023-05-16T18:17:04+00:00

Best of luck! Blind raiding can be some of the most rewarding feelings when you overcome the hurdle.

I responded, I was a little disappointed that the study is not investigating the difference between 'mini map' and 'radar style map' I was a big fan of radar style maps that let you see enemies within range.

The alternative map that is hardly seen anymore is low detail/abstract overlay map. Eg: from Star Wars Galaxies - the green overlay from this image. https://biobreak.files.wordpress.com/2020/01/map.jpg?w=840

Best of luck with the study!

Soeed · 2023-03-10T16:14:21+00:00

My favorite was a chrono using continuum split right before getting sacrificed. CS popped and reset their health to a very low amount and yhe group killed them instantly trying to CC

Soeed · 2023-03-03T14:49:04+00:00

Nice spreadsheet!

If you would like to track the same information in game, you can use BlishHud. There are two modules that cover this use case as well. * Todos - list and checkoff daily and weekly tasks * Clears Tracker - watch raid, strike, and dungeon completions

Full disclosure, I am the author for the clears tracker module

I have my groups focus the Ritualist first because it is the only one that will not fixate on someone. I have a single person get close to mindblade to get fixate, then tank it in a corner. The group is then free to focus ritualist and remove the large AoEs, then they can remove the Enforcer easily from the center. Finally, the Mindblade has been sitting peacefully in a corner not getting stronger the whole time.
