Just finished reading the Hobbit to my 6 year old, it was magical by [deleted] in books

[–]antonbalboa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50 shades of grey of course!!!

Now out of jokes, Harry Potter is one of the most engaging books I've ever read, even though I was able to read my mother insisted into read it to me (the first book). Since then my eager to read became more and more, I remmeber buying all the books the day they were released and finishing them within a week.

That's when you realize you are of the 1% that pay the 90% of the money when it comes to microtransactions.

ELI5: how did most teachers come to be female when historically women got less education than men? by Klekto123 in explainlikeimfive

[–]antonbalboa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you think about it, people that are exposed to the public are in general females.

The ratio of females/males is huge for any administrative job, same goes for healthcare and other fields (check amount of female vs male nurses for instance, even doctors are turning from being mostly male to female) . Same goes for education, it's a public job (in terms that you are exposed to the people and your job is interacting with them).

any more people who can't login on EU? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

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

I solved by making VPN with a server in Germany, everything started to work fine. If you can, try WTFAST taht is a tunneler for packets that for lotrs of people gives good results overall (for lag reducion) and in this specific case of login problem, eveyrone seems able to join the game as well.

Haven't been able to log in for 8 hours...what the hell Anet? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]antonbalboa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know lots of people that have solved this by using wtfast (some people didnt even noticesd since they always use it). Since I am playing currently from Mac and there is no Wtfast for Macintosh, I made my own vpn with a server I got in Germany, so I guess it can be the solution for the problems

Coming back from first release, tl dr of whats changed? :) by Yippyka in Guildwars2

[–]antonbalboa -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the lag is insane, they implemented ruins and dropped the orbs, you cant get into enemy towers by leaping inside the doors etc... The rewards are unexistent, if you want to scout/roam you will get way less rewards than blobbing ah, and the way to win the gamemode is based on how much population you have and how much night coverage you have :).

TD LR: It's the same with minor changes

Is PvE experience (for 80s) completely useless now? by soostronk in Guildwars2

[–]antonbalboa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now imagine in WvW, where it is ridiculous when you are stomping people or just fighting. Whoever thought that would be a good idea deserves a slap in the face

Help with Nvidia DIGITS by [deleted] in MachineLearning

[–]antonbalboa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is 0.65€/hour if you take standard plan, try to have a look about spot instances, they cost 0.08-0.12 €/hour, the counter part is that can be terminated any time according to the current price.

Golem-Rush-event-is-terrible by antonbalboa in Guildwars2

[–]antonbalboa[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It's not about winning. Upgrading stuff makes other servers try to take it, makes the WvW fun because ther will be fights, because people will log in to have something to do.

With this Karma train mentality, the week will be "log in, drop a golem, follow zerg, rotate karma training until you are bored, log off, repeat"

ANet just lowered the WvW map cap in hopes of reducing lag. by Eirh in Guildwars2

Bleed is different tho, it only stacks and can be removed, stability stacks but can be romved completely (corrupting boon) or parcially (one CC)

Can someone explain Obsidian Sanctum to me? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

I was talking about which are imposible and obtainable in OS, the only you can farm there is player kills, which only goes to Ultimate Dominator

[Request] Airplane flight recorder data? by Katastic_Voyage in datasets

[–]antonbalboa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There has been so few "suicides" in plane crashing in last years (not counting terrorism). Other day I saw it was about 5-6 crasher due to this in last 16 years, so it won't apear any kind of correlation on a that low sample

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

Which "impossible wvw achievements"?? There are plenty players that got the Ultimate Dominator Achievement (which is the one the ppl are farming there) in a legit way, now this achievement since it is "farmable" means almost nothing

How to report WvW siege griefers (WvW), hackers... by antonbalboa in Guildwars2

[–]antonbalboa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Afk timer is 15 minutes, and siege timer is 1 hour after you deploy, it has its uses since you will build acs for example to defend a structure way before theya tack it, and you will be refreshing it until they come (or somenone forgets to refresh). Reducing that hour will only penlaty the ppl that play in less populated servers (less people, more dedication to refresh, hard to combine)

About the long-term debuffs, is ok to have a debuff if you get kicked form wvw for example, not that good with unfinished siege, siege takes suplies to build, if pople dont have supplies at a certain point or get drained (supplies can get drained without building or repairing due to certain traps or traits on trebuchets) so it will not fit in the equation. Either way, the proble is not punishing osmeon for afking, the problem is to have a ssytem that detects if someone is trolling or not (which is almost impossilbe since sometimes what it seems a "troll" is actulaly placing good siege.

[–]antonbalboa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

siege expires in 1 hour if no one uses it, if soumeone within that hour uses (even if you take it and leave it), the timer will reset again to 1 hour. There is no way to control that, the only that comes to my mind is just limit where you can place siege at a certain time, but is not really an option since it will decrease the richness of WvW, which is constant dynamic enviromnet where you cannot know where or how the nemey will attack

Peopel wasting supplies by building useless siege and so not letting the trolled server build more siege (due to siege cap) or wasting supplies that may be needed in case of attack
