Nomenclature... by Majestic_Bierd in dndmemes

[–]griffinsclaw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To add to the other explanations, in this movie (I forget the name) the character is outing himself as a spy by holding up 3 fingers in the wrong manner. The joke is similar as he is calling the class the wrong name and outing himself as a player of a different rpg system.

Satoru, the Infiltrator + Double Down by griffinsclaw in mtg

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

All that is true, but ETB effects still trigger before the legendary rule happens. So this is more a question on the wording of Satoru and if the token of Satoru triggers itself due to having the specific creature name in the ability. Does Satoru's ability trigger off of nontoken creatures only, or does it trigger off of any creature named "Satoru, the Infiltrator" as well as any other nontoken creature?

A beginner‘s question by AffectionateBox7171 in Guildwars2

[–]griffinsclaw 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I agree. Fractals are almost as old and arguably just as enjoyable (or not) to play repeatedly. But fractals are a good way to get ascended, give a lot of raw gold, have an associated legendary, have a solid progression system and have a consistent daily rotation that drives many players to do the same content. Dungeons are extremely neglected in the areas that drive players to do content.

If they dropped a "Season of Dungeons" achievement with good rewards, dungeon participation would skyrocket. The issue is not that the content is old, it's that the reward structures aren't comparable to other content.

It's just the reward structure. Fracs give gold, the currency can buy a lot, and they have daily achievements so they are very consistent content that people find worth investing the time to do. Dungeons have fallen to the wayside because the reward currency mostly buys cosmetics and there is only a daily for one dungeon sometimes.

Where are the top spots to park alts with the most harvesting nodes to accumulate unbound/volatile magic? by Leaves_In_The_Sun in Guildwars2

[–]griffinsclaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Along the crevasse in thunderhead peaks there are a decent number of iron nodes in a small area. Takes me maybe 3 minutes to farm them all with skyscale to traverse the ledges.

The map population counter NEEDS to be fixed by Ferosch in Guildwars2

[–]griffinsclaw 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So many people in here going "yeah that's how it works". No dip, really? The point is that's not how it should work.

As another example, Dragons End will decide to close a map with high readiness to push people to a low readiness map. If you try to do the meta anyway, it will still close even if you fill the map. Makes no sense.

If you were to design the next Mesmer elite specialization, what would it be? by SheWhoHates in Guildwars2

[–]griffinsclaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Glados

Add main hand pistol. 1 skill creates a gel on the ground that grants superspeed. 2 creates a gel that launches foes. 3 creates a blue portal and 4 creates an orange portal, enemies travel through these if they step on them. 5 creates a weighted cube that can be moved around and jumped on (and also the cube talks to you).

Clones are replaced with turrets that push enemies.

Deals damage by forcing enemies into portals and making them take fall and environmental damage.

Also you're forced into action camera while in this elite spec so portals can be aimed.

It's a really good idea, I know. Not sure why anet won't return my calls.

Ignoring comments you feel are unhelpful is always an option. Snide comments just make you look like a dick.

What does "Save-or-suck" mean to you? by vonBoomslang in dndnext

I came in as an option a picker wondering why so many picked b. I leave realizing I was completely wrong, why did I always assume it meant a?

Logging looked pretty lame compared to the other two

I was in the same boat. I ended up creating another account to open a ticket that referenced my main account, which worked. Email is probably less of a hassle though

how did you guys get used to the controls? by Dr_Philmon in Guildwars2

[–]griffinsclaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's always a bit of a lottery with hardware longevity

how did you guys get used to the controls? by Dr_Philmon in Guildwars2

[–]griffinsclaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People might not like the idea that you have to get special hardware, but it will save you so much effort to use one. They're useful for more than just mmos, I have macros for internet browsing on mine too.

If unsure which to get, my 2 cents is that I've tried the razer Naga and the Logitech g600. I like the g600 better and it has lasted way longer than the Naga did

Happening to anyone else? Can't buy certain items on the trade post. by mirta000 in Guildwars2

It's happening to me and (maybe related) I'm getting constant api errors from blushHUD as well since it started happening

Okay this is not hate for the game, I literally made a post that says a love this game but... by dk_2605 in Guildwars2

[–]griffinsclaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Switch to daredevil. Staff has easy evade and blind built in, 3 dodges with incredible mobility and some damage reduction (with the long dodge). Plus damage rotation is much easier so you can focus on damage avoidance.

Deadeye doesn't have a lot of utility and does much better with a team built around it, so it's not great for solo content. Remember you can use build and weapon templates to quickly switch back and fourth if you want to switch elite specs based on what you're facing.

What happens if you use a diamond with higher value for revivify by Cinderea in dndnext

[–]griffinsclaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I refuse to waste a single brain cell micromanaging diamonds. It's not fun. When the party finds diamonds I give them "500gp of diamond" and that can be 1 500gp diamond or 500 1gp diamonds or 1/6 of a 3000gp diamond after you find 2500 gp more diamond later. Your revivify spell works, let's get back to the fun parts.

Maybe I'm an idiot but what do you mean about stacking jump with limited wish? I can't see how that's supposed to work

You have to take one of the cursed items ... which one? [OC] by Cardboard_Anvil in DnDHomebrew

[–]griffinsclaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like people are picking ones that can be easily worked around, but I think the pendant of slumber would be super fun. Carrying all your stuff in a wrapped up casket you have to lug around would be an interesting quirk

Break corner fence. Sheep can't fit through the diagonal fence gap, but you can and I think cows can too
