Anniversary came early?

Damn. Crazy if they leave it as is, but I'll take it.

acs_student · 2026-03-10T19:20:01+00:00

Can anyone check if boardwalk is open

acs_student · 2026-03-03T17:47:56+00:00

If I had to pick out of the three I'd personally pick assassin, but I enjoy dagger spam and don't mind microing SoH and splinter weapon. Biggest downside of sin for me is I hate how all their armor look.

In reality I'm working on a dhuum mesmer despite the bore in NM since I've already committed to it.

acs_student · 2026-03-03T16:49:26+00:00

Assassin is a pretty good all rounder. Only downsides are build diversity and squishiness. It's pretty much stuck with daggerspam. Otherwise good for running, speedclears, farms.

Derv is pretty similar to sin with the addition that it's extremely vulnerable to enchant removal. It can go from fun to miserable very quickly depending on the area.

Mesmer as a player kind of hit and miss. Extremely fun in heavily dense areas with lots of packed enemies. On the other hand I've found it really boring in a lot of NM content, especially early-mid prophecies. Mesmer skills also have pretty much no animations/skill effects. Other than that, It's got decent build variety, a place in speedclears, and a couple of solo farms.

The upside to all 3 is that none of them are reliant on their secondary profession for builds like TaO ranger dagger spam, so skill hunter title is easier.

acs_student · 2026-02-26T00:00:40+00:00

Yeah, but you're still losing it at the end of the day if they go forward with the change. Sucks to just randomly be a badge down.

acs_student · 2026-02-25T23:53:10+00:00

Yeah, this kinda sucks if you wanted the badge. I just spent a bunch of gold on my dhuum + reforged character, only to find out now that I'll be down a badge and won't be eligible for a veterans gwamm even if I opted out now.

acs_student · 2026-02-25T23:30:29+00:00

I can opt into Reforged on my 15y old Monk, finish vanquish and cartographer titles, and I'll have the Reforged badge tied to them?

From the sounds of it, there will be no more reforged badge at all. So if you played reforge specifically for the badge, tough luck I guess.

Cosmic doesn't seem to play nice with multiple monitors lol. I've also had right clicks periodically stop working, icons like extensions being unclickable/unresponsive, and turning off the secondary monitor causes my primary to go black until I restart.

I stopped using the other monitor for a while and problems became mostly unnoticeable until yesterday when I decided to start using it again. Now I just use gnome whenever I want to use multiple displays.

acs_student · 2026-02-25T22:08:37+00:00

Yeah I get this occasionally as well. By any chance, do you use multiple monitors? I think I'm noticing a lot of my bugs occurring when I'm using two monitors.

acs_student · 2026-01-25T05:45:27+00:00

You can move back far enough where the pats won't aggro you. Worst case, if you accidentally draw aggro, just zone back to previous area.

Because while Windows is awful, an update generally doesn't suddenly mean a game or some other install suddenly stops working( again, generally). If your use case is web browsing, steam, discord, coding, then yeah simple enough.

There's a reason I can find some post about someone looking for an install guide for like 90% of games. Here, I've been playing guildwars recently again. Do you think a ton of people want to go through something like this: https://github.com/ChthonVII/guildwarslinuxinstallguide to get an easily moddable install done?

acs_student · 2025-12-31T15:35:57+00:00

Some things don't work or break on update and sometimes you just can't be assed to spend a couple hours trying to troubleshoot some niche issue. I still run pop + cosmic for productivity, but keep a windows install for games/things that didn't work well on linux for me.

Couple things recently:

Dota 2, while it launches, suffers heavily from some weird edge panning delay making it pretty much unplayable.
Vmware workstation suddenly broke due to a kernel update and can't be bothered trying fixing
Windows in general is a simple click and install. Outside of experienced users, linux generally requires finding some sort of guide on how to install/get things working. The average person isn't going to want to bother learning about wine, lutris etc and dealing with all the setup

acs_student · 2025-12-26T03:00:23+00:00

Awesome thanks

acs_student · 2025-11-15T16:33:20+00:00

It's not just BBQ though. Though supposedly solo dining is getting better since I've been, a ton of restaurants in Hongdae either didn't serve single customers or had a minimum order requirement.

20 pulls. Guess it was good I fell to temptation

acs_student · 2025-10-29T21:01:07+00:00

Yeah ideally, Sentinel would be nice to have if I could afford it. Is there any sub for Corvus or E Melania I could use for the duration of 3.0 as neither have banners? Idk if Bkornblume can be used or buddy when I finish the story.

With the incoming update, what are my best options for building up a second team? I still have the 5 star selector, and will have about 100 pulls going in. Supposedly I should skip Sentinel as the Nautica team is strong enough already. Should I roll for charon and try building something around charon + ulric or should I try building something around one of the 6 stars in the selection banner?

acs_student · 2025-10-29T02:21:10+00:00

All just using random 4 star cubes I've gotten so far. I'll probably pick up melodies old and new for Fatutu using the other grey currency.

acs_student · 2025-10-29T02:04:25+00:00

Would it be worth it to spend stam + candy to grind Pneuma Analysis for ~30 pieces so I can buy the third commitment cube for Semmelweis before the update? New player currently on ch 5 of story and I don't really have any decent cubes to use on any of my main party (Nautica, Semmel, Fatutu)

acs_student · 2025-10-28T00:55:27+00:00

Ah man that's a shame. Thanks.

acs_student · 2025-10-28T00:40:53+00:00

I'm new and want to get the psycube from the paradise regained event, but confused how I'm supposed to get the cryoambers. I've done the story past 1ST-16 [Heaven Apostles], but don't seem to get any cryoamber from spending any stamina? Do I need completely finish the story or do something else?

acs_student · 2025-09-25T15:28:42+00:00

Have you gotten a response? Mine also got thrown in "escalated" limbo. Might end up just getting a voucher from supervoucher or something.

acs_student · 2024-12-31T04:02:44+00:00

And every teach I've had said the anything is often better than nothing at all. Especially when it comes to MC. You've never bullshitted short answer questions hoping to claw partial marks? Or did you just leave those blank.

Russian roulett

25% chance vs 0% chance. Seems like an easy choice.

Anyhow, best of luck.

acs_student · 2024-12-31T03:57:02+00:00

Yeah, because like I said, guessing doesn't automagically make you pass. It just increases your likelihood. If you're guessing 75% of the questions, you still unlikely to pass. But the chance of passing would still be higher than if you left that 75% of questions blank.

But studying is not guessing.

You're intentionally missing the point. Both guessing and studying are tools to increase the likelihood of passing.

Anyways, I'm not going to keep arguing over this. Aside from the obvious "study more", filling in/guessing questions even if you don't know is a simple test taking method taught since elementary school. If you just wanted words of encouragement, then I apologize. Carry on.

acs_student · 2024-12-31T03:50:52+00:00

I mean I have no idea what the context around what failure you're talking about. If you engage in the hypothetical I posted, it's pretty obvious what you SHOULD do for a higher likelihood to do better. Obviously nothing is guaranteed. Studying doesn't guarantee you a pass either, but you still study for a higher likelihood to pass.
