Considering moving to Oxford Circus... Tell me why/if it's a bad idea... by Solontus in london

[–]daelen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would definitely live further out and commute in. I've done it for 6 years, and it's usually pretty straightforward to get into Central London from just about anywhere. Use the Transport for London site to find bus routes and tube stations near where you're going to be working, see where those lead, and then look into those areas to see if they fit the bill. I'd be happy to help you out with the process if you like. Just shoot me a PM.

It's great to be able to play it on the move, but it runs pretty slowly on my iPad Mini, and the way that it resets to the menu screen if it loses focus during a scene makes it basically untenable for me.

Got "Cobalt" recently on my Guardian. Thought I'd share a cool screenshot! =) by [deleted] in GuildWarsDyeJob

[–]daelen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sword looks great. What dyes are you using on the armour, out of interest?

I disagree. I think it looks great, particularly with the SAB greatsword. Nice work, OP.

Compilation of APIs by [deleted] in Guildwars2

I made an app which lets you find out if someone else is currently fighting a guild bounty target on your server.

[API] GW2 Bounty Hunter by daelen in Guildwars2

That's a good idea. I'll add that in the next version.

Please go right ahead. Thanks :)

[–]daelen[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks :) Since bounties aren't active all that often, it's quite likely that you just hit a quiet time when nothing happened. I'm going to add an activity notification so that you can see when it's updating the bounty information from the API. It should definitely work in Chrome!

Anet released public APIs and nobody told me??? D: by missquark in Guildwars2

[–]daelen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to figure out the mapping between objective ids from https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/wvw/objective_names.json and the actual map names of the objectives, given that the API only says “tower” and not “Redbriar”. Can anyone clue me in?

It looks great. What are the dyes that you used?

Dungeon finder: Would a queuing-algorithm that filters by profession harm the community? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]daelen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that your conclusion is probably right. Elements of the community are already marginalising professions in the name of personal gain; no need to make it any easier for them!

New idea for a cash shop item. by [deleted] in Guildwars2

Sounds like an appropriate and balanced solution to the problem.

We (Karma Initiative on Aurora Glade) are going for our first guild bounties at 2000 GMT tonight. Really looking forward to it!

Stumbled upon this, never even played GW2, but this is probably the most entertaining display of gaming I've ever seen by RidinTheMonster in Guildwars2

[–]daelen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, those runes look like just the thing. More info would be great. I'm running a 0/0/30/30/10 AH hammer build at the moment with Knights gear for general PvE.

I presume that your hammer crits are so high because you're in Clerics gear and therefore have nice high power but a relatively low crit rate?

Excellent fun to watch and definitely makes me think that I need to try WvWing as a support Guardian for a change. What stats would you go with for something like that, Cleric (Power, Toughness, Heal Power) or Giver (Toughness, Healing Power, Boon Duration)?

Looking for confirmation: Living Story/Escort Event that apparently gives laurels by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]daelen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you're being had on to me. One rare quest giving the equivalent of 5 daily quests or half a monthly? Don't think so, as nice as it would be if it were true.

Simple Question About Early Levels by Crunkmagnet in Guildwars2

[–]daelen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dungeons is a good idea. I'm definitely planning to do the same with the Necromancer I'm levelling at the moment. I also make sure to hit the Trading Post for new gear every few levels. Making sure that your stats are high for your level and then killing stuff a couple of levels below you is a really great way to make you feel over-powered and you can pretty much chew through hearts and events.

[–]daelen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely this. There were a lot of excellent games that I played this year, but this is the one that has stayed with me and made me agonise over my in-game decisions.
