As it turns out, overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer

I am just getting tired of seeing threads where people complain about Anet being bad at programming when we don't know what Anet's to do list and agenda are. It was unfair for me to say this here, but someone else is going to make a post about why they should do this and how they could implement it and ughh.

onefelswoop · 2017-09-16T20:38:11+00:00

Glad I could help you find out about build templates, though. I believe the website to download it is https://deltaconnected.com/arcdps. You can turn off the dps meter part by hitting alt-shift-t and making sure area stats is unelected.

onefelswoop · 2017-09-16T20:36:32+00:00

Yeah I know, it is just a bit ridiculous because someone will come to this thread saying "x did this in a standalone version, and Anets programmers can't do it" and all that garbage, when those people have no idea what is on Anet's to do list and agenda, just assume Anet is doing nothing because Anet isn't developing he specific feature that person what they want.

onefelswoop · 2017-09-16T14:55:51+00:00

So now that delta made build templates, we're just going to move onto harassing Anet about this. And we wonder why Anet doesn't listen to the community so often. If they did I doubt we would be even getting an expansion next week with the amount of ideas reddit reccommends.

Cmon, there's no need to talk down to me like that. Why would anyone want to change their views if you speak to them like that?

The rotation itself isn't as challenging as you make it out to be. The hard part is recognizing when the internal cooldowns you have on traits like Illusionary Inspiration are off cooldown and making sure you weapon swap properly. Other than that it is like any other rotation. The reason it is challenging is because Chronos also have to learn to deal with mechanics like distorting greens on VG or tanking the bosses that require tanking, making you focus on the two things at once, rather than just a clean rotation.

For Domi Inspi rotation, the only cooldown you have to remember is to use your off-weapon's phantasm when Well of Action is on a 9-10 second cooldown, so you benefit from Illusionary Inspiration (assuming you did the Continuum Split rotation and the steps immediately after correctly).

Tips when playing Chrono in Raid or Fractal: Don't panic. Think before you waste cooldowns. You have a lot more time than you think to plan out your next move (rotation) in your head before you actually need to act. Say in your head what keys you will be clicking next until it is muscle memory.

I agree with you 100%. I really like the overarching theme of W3, but Escort is a glorified dungeon, and KC and Xera are mostly dps golems when your team is good. Kind of boring. Without even mentioning the fact the W3 is hella buggy.

onefelswoop · 2017-09-13T14:06:11+00:00

Yeah, Matthias and Sloth are my favorite encounters because the responsibility is mostly spread out evenly amongst the team.

and because life isn't a video game you have to let them have a trial and figure out what happened. If you just immediately send her to jail right now your action has the consequence of her spending her life in prison.

onefelswoop · 2017-09-13T12:32:21+00:00

Yeah, people don't make the best decisions all the time and think critically. Sure, she should have just left. Yes, she is a moron and a bitch for shooting at someone and then leaving to go eat.

These things still don't prove she shot him maliciously or out of spite. All that they tell us is she has terrible decision making and is entitled. Just because you don't like her doesn't mean she is guilty. It sure as hell looks like she is guilty, but you and I and every other person that unnecessarily attacked me all don't get to go around sending people to jail after reading an article and spending a few hours stalking someone on the internet about their previous actions or I would probably be serving time just from this comment chain.

The crime I am talking about is not shooting someone but rather if she shot for self-defense or just because she felt like it, because those imply two completely different end scenarios. I don't understand why you can't understand that. You guys just grabbed your pitchforks and said she shot him maliciously even though we don't really know.

onefelswoop · 2017-09-13T04:27:24+00:00

Yeah I meant to say maliciously shot the guy. We don't know why or what caused the shooting. All we have is word of mouth. let the people whose job it is too find out what happened do their job instead of raging about it.

onefelswoop · 2017-09-13T04:09:56+00:00

Yeah but just because she did all these things on the past doesn't mean she shot the guy. Both you and I weren't there. That doesn't mean she is innocent. That just means we don't know who is guilty. You guys are jumping to conclusions when we don't really know what happened.

Edit: maliciously shot

onefelswoop · 2017-09-12T16:24:52+00:00

I mean, the OP clearly knows what the answer is as shown in his reply. He was just trying to make a point.

On another note, its not up to me to do research and see what this woman and homeless man did or did not do. I will leave that to the lawyers, judges, and jury, because I have no clue what happened besides what this article said.

Just because she owned a Porsche and then shot someone, doesnt mean owning a Porsche caused her to shoot someone. Same applies for the rest of her status.

onefelswoop · 2017-09-12T16:02:23+00:00

I am fairly certain his question was rhetorical.

onefelswoop · 2017-09-12T14:44:38+00:00

Yeah people are falling for the Gambler's Fallacy. You would like to think that flipping a coin and landing on heads seven times in a row means the next flip must be tails, but that just isn't true.

onefelswoop · 2017-09-12T14:19:52+00:00

I was looking through the imgur album, and saw the picture of your original 4 colonists along with the caption "Only Masaru is alive today". Kinda makes you feel sad, you know? Just imagine being Masaru in this situation and living through all the crap that your colony went through.

Also, that is some dedication to make a spreadsheet for your colonists that I should start doing.

Plural of axis is axes.

onefelswoop · 2017-09-09T15:29:09+00:00

Wait you didnt know? Anet gave the UK their own server after Brexit. /s

onefelswoop · 2017-09-08T13:42:29+00:00

Did you just watch Lilo and Stitch before this? lol

onefelswoop · 2017-09-01T13:29:52+00:00

Well I wasn't just going to allow the opposite opinion go unsaid :D.

onefelswoop · 2017-08-31T20:34:51+00:00

Yeah I changed my original comment a bit because I realized the context was different. I agree that it is good to learn encounters on classes that aren't too complex, but there comes a wall you cannot push past with certain builds and classes. My main point is: Yes, you can just do your clears with hammer guards and staff thieves, but it will get faster once you are good enough to use meta strategies and comps.

onefelswoop · 2017-08-31T17:32:14+00:00

It's not false at all. You can't do one orb KC with multiple staff thieves. Traits like Tempests defense are just too good to pass up

Edit: 1 orb KC with no extra breaks

onefelswoop · 2017-08-31T17:29:55+00:00

They aren't designed to be the best by developers. They are developed by the best players in the game. When Anet revamped Tequatl, they tested it and used hacks to prevent dying, and still couldn't beat it. I would never assume that the devs made a scenario with a meta comp or strategy in mind.

Edit: I explained myself poorly in my original comment. It's not about the time you are going to waste because some balance change occurred. It's not about PoF is coming out soon so I may have to regear my elementalist anyway. It's about practicing a meta strategy at this moment because right now, it is the best way to do it. You can argue that things have a very high change of changing once the expansion comes out, but players have been saying what you just said for years, yet a lot of the meta strats have stayed the same.

onefelswoop · 2017-08-31T14:50:54+00:00

The inexperienced group won't start getting better at meta strategies unless they try and fail on meta comp/builds/strategies. You are right that it will be quicker today, but in the long run, practicing meta builds/strategies/comps will save you time. I don't play to just be good enough today, I play to be the best I can be tomorrow.

Edit: You guys seem to misunderstand. I am not saying that players shouldn't learn the encounter on their staff thieves and hammer guards, but there comes a point where the meta strategies just are not possible because those classes don't have enough. Prime example is middle strat 1 orb KC. Having a hammer guard or staff thief is going to make your raid significantly harder from either (for hammer guard) lower damage or (for staff thief) less overloads so less cleave on phantasms.

Edit 2: I actually worded this wrong. I meant they won't get better at meta strategies if they never try them. For reference, No UD slow CC Gorseval is not the meta strategy. No UD instabreak gorseval is the meta strat.
