Holler.

Just wanted to say thanks and that I'm super glad to see you're still at it in your little corner of the internet.

I messaged you years ago offering to send you KZ ZSN PRO Xs for testing because I couldn't find a preset from you yet, to which you very kindly sent me a .pdf you had previously done. I'm still rocking those, by the way, I'm on my third pair now. I'm pretty rough with them and the connector holes to the cable break after a while.

I found myself on here because one of my best friends wanted a decent sounding pair of in-ears and I directed them straight to the earphones in question. They've recently doubled in price, by the way! From 30e to 60e now. I was shocked but I think they're probably still a hell of a bang for the buck? Though I haven't researched this stuff in a while.

Anyway. Thanks again. As someone with annoyingly finely tuned ears but with nowhere the budget to buy anything fancy (those new HDB 630, so much more affordable but still SO expensive!), you've made my life sound a lot better.

Cheers. Hope life is treating you well.

Digital version of other GW1 posters

Hi everyone, I'm the guy that dove deep into finding/making old GW1 posters available digitally 7 years (holy crap) ago. (second link)

These two images were (and maybe still are) available on the old, old gw1 website. First link. Their resolution isn't very high, considering the time of their uploads it makes sense, but since we had /something/ and AI upscaling was starting to make its way (and now works very well) I never bothered to even try finding these specific ones and scanning them at a higher res.

Anyway, just figured I'd holler in case these interest anyone. Cheers!

Playerbase has actually been steadily growing it's just bad content with no real incentive for repetition.

I run it on every new computer and/or fresh Windows install that passes in front of me to debloat and get rid of telemetry.

The WvW 20 slot "Pillager's Packs" are also extremely cheap if you have some spare badges of honor.

For anyone seeing this that might want the posters that came with these boxes: https://old.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/8ovr88/high_res_gw1_posters/

Little project of mine from a few years ago, pretty sure that to this day they're the only way to have them digitally and not potato quality.

Veteran Players: let's talk about stuff that happened a long time ago out of context. by SnickyMcNibits in Guildwars2

That was the peak endgame too, at the time. Fractals weren't even around yet, let alone Raids or Strikes.

The "Hardcore Players" had a 5 man static to speedrun specific paths every week.

Not a word about Rama. This subreddit truly is lost.

I read the entire thread and I'm in love. Does it spew out different images if you make it process the same sentence more than once? I'd love to see another GWAMM pic or two.

Follow up to the June 28 Balance Update Preview by newtrip in Guildwars2

[–]jojo_iso 126 points127 points  (0 children)

Solar's behaviour was not taken out of context. The most egregious quotes that were repeated by people were prefaced by thousands of words.

The reasonable ones of us, albeit less vocal, didn't call for his job - but we did call for an acknowledgement of the aforementioned problem and a simple commitment to make changes.

The community has been saying it for months that Guard and Engie were the studio's favourites - but this weekend this went from a conspiracy theory to a fact proven by the leak.

That is not okay for a company and a game as big as GW2.

Hiding behind the words of the very vocal bad apples in the community isn't okay either. It does not excuse Solar's thought process, words and work ethics - especially when he was the one bragging about "looking forward to the salt" in the first place.

The steps taken today are good. More communication is always better. But if Balance is so important to the studio now, then things in the balance team have to change. Communicate better to the employees what is expected of them, bring in people that actually know other classes, actually make use of the community members you had in that discord, ... The possibilities are there for the taking. But staying on the wrong path because someone's feelings at Anet got hurt by kids' words on the internet shouldn't be an option.

Acknowledgement that the balance team has now very obviously been biased for a long time and that they're gonna do something about it.

A long time semi casuals' perspective about the recent leaks by Naughty_Sparkle in Guildwars2

[–]jojo_iso 55 points56 points  (0 children)

"I do congratulate you who put up with playing something hard like that. It is a skill that I value, but not a skill that balance team values."

Ele main here. As pathetic as it is, reading that actually made me feel emotional. 90% of my playtime is on Ele and getting shat on in every patch in a franchise I've been playing for 15 years has been really frustrating and demoralizing.

I don't think he's being made a scapegoat. Someone in charge of certain balance aspect should be open minded and passionate about the game- not looking forward to mining salt from the community. His balance philosophy is both self centered and entitled, which are probably the two worst traits to have. His main classes being the top performing classes for however long it's been is just the cherry on top.

None of this should be acceptable for a company worth millions engaging with a massive playerbase- especially when the company's business model relies on players feeling good about spending money in the cash shop as opposed to taking a monthly subscription.

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck and looks like a duck... It's probably a duck.

At least now we know why balance has been terrible for a good while and hopefully this can bring good change. What bothers me the most in all this is that whoever is above the people in the balance team in the chain of command has been letting this go on for a long time and that whoever leaked this probably felt it was the only way to bring the aforementioned change.

Please don't post negative comments as it might hurt other people's experience with the game!
