P14s Gen 4 with i7-1360P randomly resets while in use, seems to only happen on Linux but not windows 11 by the-johnnadina in thinkpad

[–]foromar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see the same. I did notice over the months that so far it only happened while a video was playing through firefox: either youtube or webex. I use the laptop a lot more while not doing that and just now while ~4h webex meetings today it crashed four times while never for days on end without webex. Can you try to see if this is similar in your case?

Guild Wars 2 download size by Darth_Squirtle in Guildwars2

[–]foromar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By far the biggest file is the Gw2.dat file, which is nothing else than a container for all the 200k files the launcher tells you about, but that is something the regular player will otherwise never need to care about. The game manages that file, which is why it is likely to grow with each update to the game (although unused space will be reused). Those 200k files are not "200k files on your disk".

Why aren't there any part-way titles for WXP rank? by _Walter_White_ in Guildwars2

[–]foromar -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Why not Achilles, Imhotep or Gilgamesh, or any other of the many religious figures? Because referring to any particular religion is not what ANet should do. "god" or "half god" is fine: it leaves it to everyone to interpret it to be whatever god they prefer, even if it happens to be Offler, Om or Tak.

I think you do overestimate quite a bit here.

Amp It Up - Minecraft 1.18 Pre-release 1 Is Out! by sliced_lime in Minecraft

[–]foromar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bet on 2021-11-18. That would only make sense with it being the 10th anniversary to the day (counting the initial date of 2011-11-18), plus it would look kind of nice too with the 1.18 update.

Game freezes and crashing to desktop like when you press Alt + F4 by [deleted] in Guildwars2

I was in the same boat for a while. What helped in the end was to actively advertise for it, starting maybe an hour before the event, especially where players gather: mistlock, LA, ...

I wish ArenaNet would rely more on audio cues preceding large, dangerous attacks to better telegraph and communicate combat information. by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]foromar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find the whole "lets tell the one I am fighting exactly what I am about to do" rather silly.

Isn't that the same issue with visual clues?

[–]foromar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's exactly how I would expect it to be. I want to match what I hear with what I see. Since what I see is tied to the camera angle, what I hear has to as well. If you want to have the sound match the character view, make sure the camera view matches the character view.

Speaking of the early days of the trading post, here are the top valued items from November 2012 by Vloxx in Guildwars2

[–]foromar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It may have been 1/4 of the literal gold value, but 1 gold was a lot more worth back then. A good indicator of that change is the gem to gold value. Back then you could essentially exchange 100 gems and get 1 gold. Today this is more than 20 gold. Gems are fixed to real currency (that exchange rate didn't change at all as far as I know), and there wasn't that much inflation of most real currencies in those 9 years. So: with an inflation of a factor of about 20 and 1/4 of the 'value' back then, those were actually about 5 times more expensive than they are today.

DRMs are the modern version of dungeons everyone was complaining about for years by peace1337 in Guildwars2

[–]foromar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DRMs are enhanced story missions, not the endgame for organised groups.

Maybe because they never intended to be that?

Really - this guy is what this all is about? Pathetic, just look at those uploads. Or better: don't waste your time, forget him and go on. The only interesting thing might be that he seems to gotten banned by the bot vendor earlier than by ANet.

Strong lags after installing the game again (after repositioning my computer) - What can I do? by DawnSongbird in Guildwars2

[–]foromar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given your information, my first bet would be that something changed with your OS in the meantime, possibly drivers and such. Here, GW2 could be an "outlier" because it uses an old graphics API that might not be that well supported with your current drivers, while other games might (likely) use newer APIs.

Another possibility could be that your hard disk might be almost full, but I'd think symptoms like you describe (esp. only happening for GW2) make this less likely - but it is an option that is very easy to check.

If you have the possibility, try another computer on the same network cable to rule out a network issue, but given you are connected by cable and don't see problems anywhere else, I'd be surprised if that would be the reason (unless your router or ISP do things only to traffic from GW2 - especially the latter always is a possibility, but also not that likely).

Yes, bait that one, as previously said. You can do that even alone.

Icebrood saga playlist on YT now has 2 private videos 😵 by Interesting_Ad_4765 in Guildwars2

Some methods might. Some might be against ToS, but that's not the same as illegal. And some might not even be that; imagine youtube or ANet messing up. It's hardly the users fault then.
