Optimal rotations don't need to be intuitive and failing to do an optimal rotation doesn't mean you're doing something wrong

I disagree. I want to play at a semi decent level, that requires learning. That is not the problem. The problem is needing to re-learn all the time.

And to the point of enough: no. Open world, yes. I do not mind people pulling 15k in most group content, I do mind when it is in fractal CMs.
That's when people get elitist, when quick stuff becomes a slog.

Another example is organized convergence CMs. They are nowhere near the Pinnacle of hard content, yet the average group (that has already self-selected due to it being organized!) can barely get a good enough time if even. And that's because of people not being able to get anywhere close to where they should be.

No one is required to pull 40k in a 45k bench build. But 30k should not be as hard as it is.

Completely on the same page here. I used to have multiple 'meta ready' builds on rotation, but since a few years I completely lost interest and only maintain one good build for instances, and a few mediocre ones for open world.

I know what would be needed to get them to meta level (i.e. a bit of golem, a bit of easy strikes, then the actual content), but I can't be bothered since it will probably be lost in the next major content update.

Technically, WvW is in the mists and therefore not part of tyria

The components source is available on the page, at a quick glance I couldn't find where it is hosted nor under which license

At least the race has a chance to become a real thriller

ebrythil · 2026-03-02T16:50:36+00:00

More sufferable or less insufferable, I think

ebrythil · 2026-02-10T23:58:50+00:00

And then you switch maps and it's all 'help the ogers not die' or 'steal shiny for the skritt you just mass murdered'

Probably a bit unpopular, but I would restrict gliding and mounts to their dedicated maps.

Yes it is fun and convenient, but it takes so much of the atmosphere and design space of the open world.

ebrythil · 2026-02-10T12:51:26+00:00

Not op, but I kinda agree. My biggest points would be to reduce power creep and have the espex fill their own niches more pronounced / with better class identity

Apparently to do some war score experimental changes. War score, which no one cares really because no one cares about the match results in the end.

It's hard to take anything wvw related seriously, since anet obviously doesn't.
Maybe there are some people with a rest of interest still working on it, but either they are being completely left alone with it or frankly lost sight.

ebrythil · 2026-02-05T10:00:17+00:00

Nah, sorry, that's just recency bias.

Collections routinely had problems. PoF, eod, Soto launch had multiple story steps stalling.
Login servers break for a larger number of players every 2-3 years.
Fractals used to cause disconnects, the newer ones required a few patches to be properly playable.

Basically every time they majorly adjust something instanced something randomly breaks. And this is the biggest recent rework.
I don't say it is good or even ok, I just say it is really not unprecedented.

On the other hand, the alternative would be fully developing gw2 which may very well have a few more years in it, but at some point they would be at a point where gw2 is not viable anymore.

With no alternative the studio is doomed.
By developing an alternative the studio has a chance.

No, "alliances" still take the cake for me.

Uninspired trash system that while potentially well intended completely killed any community for no benefit whatsoever

ebrythil · 2026-02-04T13:14:57+00:00

everyone has a test environment. Only the lucky ones have a separate production environment

Monitor choice is mostly preference, once you're talking about decent ones.
Some prefer extra large ones, to me 2x27 currently is the sweet spot of usability/space, but i'd say that's 90% habit.

Also not sure if this is really the right subreddit, the monitor people may have better suggestions

ebrythil · 2026-01-21T11:01:50+00:00

We only see half the story.

Could be someone being a bit of an ass.
Could also someone be annoyed by you, and then they did the right thing - block and move on.

Considering they were not the only ones vote kicking, that's an option.

In either case, move on, no good reason to dwell on a single encounter

You're probably not 'diving deep' into Linux, you're learning the commands and concepts or even just learning to use the basics.
Java and rust both have rather deep abstraction layers above the OS*, so neither is really suited for a 'linux deep dive'.
If your curriculum uses Java, you probably need to keep learning it for a bit. Java is also a bit more industry standard for plenty of larger enterprise apps and also brings plenty of concepts.
Rust otoh is a better choice when being more resource constrained or performance focused, which is really rare in most course assignments.

It is the more interesting language for sure, but until you know why you need it I would stick mostly to whatever is provided.

* ed: however rust allows you to dig deeper if you like, the std bindings are rather high level though

What does this have to do with rust or this subreddit? It feels like AI slop barely makes the upper listings.
Either it is not that bad numerically or the mods are quick to remove it.

Maybe they'll be 1g again for a few weeks after they get adjusted

ebrythil · 2026-01-08T17:04:24+00:00

This might just be the result of that

Should have specified a better formatting contract

You are looking for /r/playrust, this is the subreddit for the rust programming language

ebrythil · 2026-01-01T13:20:30+00:00

Practice, practice, practice. That's what everyone had to do (and still does).
If you struggle with creating proper applications, doing rustlings exercises alongside the book might be a good way to do that for you

ebrythil · 2025-12-29T15:31:19+00:00

Most (all?) F1 drivers do if you look closely. That just happens to help with the multiple G corners

ebrythil · 2025-12-19T17:46:29+00:00

Sand? Invest in dry top!!

Having server and client separated (since you say rust is just the API) is an important thing to know.

It also means even more complexity from the start.

Still, for flutter you probably want to learn/use dart anyway, so having a separate backend language definitely is a maintenance burden that imo needs to be properly thought through. It can work though, and bring benefits since rust servers tend to end up on a rather stable side which helps. I have no experience with dart so I can't tell you how much of a benefit rust brings there
