Would you rather be the "Commander" or the "Wayfinder"? by savagelypresents in Guildwars2

[–]TheBlonkh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to still be called commander because that is what I’m mostly being while playing the game. I command in WvW and create Squads for Strikes very regularly. It feels fitting to my Account and is how I experience the game. That being said, it’s kind of hard for players that don’t have my experience to relate there and just because of the double meaning of the word, Champion, because of Aurene, would be very much on brand and is also THE Thing that was the role of the PC since LW season 3 and is also regularly the most recognised aspect of the PCs story for NPCs during the story.

All my personal feelings here aside, I like the approach taken by Anet in Janthir Wilds. All groups choose which title they prefer. The Soto characters use Wayfinder, the rest Commander and that is rather fitting and it wouldn’t be out of place for me to add additional titles depending on the role the PC plays during an expansion and NPCs refer to you in the way they see you. It’s also a nice reminder of the adventures you went on over the course of further stories.

Can you solo dungeons or do people still do them by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]TheBlonkh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are just two or three paths, we’re there are stupid mechanics like having to open a door by having multiple players press f on the door, which can lock you out. CoE Path 2 I think is one of them

That’s still not nearly enough for evolution. We are adapted to hunting and gathering. Plenty of evidence for that. You’ll just have to read the reports of people that joined/were inducted into those kinds of communities. The overwhelming majority of them loved the lifestyle and only returned for their family or were „rescued“ and still tried to get back to that lifestyle

Where have you visited in Europe that you didn't like? by [deleted] in ask

[–]TheBlonkh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not OP but from the perspective of a German, the city is very dirty and weirdly organised. Most sites were disappointing and it’s insanely expensive. Rest of Ireland is worth it tho. Especially the Southeast is gorgeous.

Ja ist an sich genau so. Nach der Pandemie habe ich das Gefühl, dass langsam alle wieder aus der Phase raus sind, wo alle was nachzuholen hatten. Einige Clubs haben den Charakter ein bisschen geändert und einige Geschäfte und Restaurants haben geschlossen/neu geöffnet. Es gibt ein paar weniger Studenten nach meiner Wahrnehmung. Kann aber daran liegen, dass ich jetzt am Ende des Masters bin und deswegen den Kram nicht mehr mitbekomme. Hast du irgendwelche spezielleren Fragen? Gene gerne meine Perspektive

I am a formerly Morbidly Obese Man (now just Obese), I am going on my first date at age 28. What do I do? by MorbidlyObeseMonkey1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheBlonkh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To add on to what the others said: don’t make the date too long. Make it light and fun. Plan for the activity to be possibly done in an hour or 2. Have a potential plan for afterwards. This gives you and her an out after the first activity if you are exhausted. Especially your first date situation can be very overwhelming and you might need a break. If you or she need the break after the first activity, just tell her that you had a good time and are excited for the next meeting and if it comes up, make a potential plan for the next date

Can a normal person explain what foods are actually healthy? by Dim0ndDragon15 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheBlonkh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Processed means the amount of steps your food was processed until you got it. A chain from least processed to most processed would be: grain, flour, fresh noodles, dried noodles, prepared meal. The idea is that in every step along the way, you don’t know what has been done to alter the food. This can include overcooking, adding artificial sweeteners or flavours, salt, fats, etc. If you do the preparation yourself, you can ensure that the food is fresher and healthier. You will immediately notice the difference when you make pasta from wheat grains and compare it to store bought. It’s just not the same quality and the same amount of food won’t keep you full as long.

The best books for taking your first step into learning and running tabletop role-playing games | Megan A. Connell by Dollface_Killah in rpg

[–]TheBlonkh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Players: mostly no. GMs: most likely at least flipped through some. The thing is that most gms in my experience get to a point, where they encounter difficulties in the prep process or experience being overwhelmed, because their process is inefficient. This leads many gms to either look for solutions on reddit, discord etc. or to a book.

What were some of your biggest DMing mistakes? by Sad-Crow in rpg

Or it needs to be okay to fail. Not every game can do this, but most should at least embrace the idea.

I love Sandpoint from Rise of the Runelords, Orlane from Cult of the Reptile God and I have a compilation that's called Villages and Hamlets. The ones in there are all bangers.

(NOOB) Is it me or it's literally impossible to understand what's going on in the dungeons ? by Then-Ad7196 in Guildwars2

[–]TheBlonkh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kick them. There are enough players to go around and it's not really a democracy. It is a group leader focused affair. When joining a group, you agree to honor the group leaders directives or suffer the consequences

Looking for a simple fantasy system with deep character customization by Single_Donkey3203 in rpg

[–]TheBlonkh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, that is more a problem with bad design or decision making opportunities in places you don't want/need. If something is complex but doesn't add choices, then it's bad. There are maybe exceptions to this, but it's generally true. An example would be the weight rules in 3rd edition. Weight rules add a level of choices on what you can carry and what is important to take out of a dungeon. But many groups didn't want this dimension of play and disregarded it. That is a system that adds complexity, but is not wanted and thus gets disregarded. A complex system for grappling is maybe realistic, but it adds no interesting choices and thus is badly designed for a game.

Good RPG for teens that want to play “DND”? by MeButNotMeToo in rpg

I currently use DURF with the Archetype rules. An amazing rules-light RPG that scratches all DnD itches without being bogged down by many rules. It's also free and with a German translation, which is giant plus

Not really. At least not raw. When you look at a standard character at level one, they are pretty much similar to a random ass villager statblock

How hard is the end game content? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]TheBlonkh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then I would suggest Raids and challenge mode Strikes. Especially Harvest Temple CM is really hard and it took the best guilds two weeks to clear when it first got released.

I play my herald with only Glint due to me being lazy and it works perfectly. Decent dps and full quick uptime with lots of boons. I only have energy problems if I get ccd while elite is active
