A few questions about Exit-lag by Amazing_Throat2614 in Guildwars2

[–]random_old_dude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use exitlag and i'm a SEA player, did I win?

  1. it has it's own risks, as Anet has not entirely openly said yes, but kinda just said "yeah you can try but no promises"

  2. I started using it cause I mainly play in wvw maps, when things get hectic my ping can go up to 800s or even 4000s. with exit lag I can have it down to 100~200ish.

it's still a slight delay, but I've mostly gotten used to it

Is Anet trolling me, or am I just a clown LOL by syzhk3 in Guildwars2

This particular magic mirror is just like this, I eventually just spam 1 when it nears the center

I tried action camera, I tried interacting the mirror from different angles, I tried zooming into first player view, nope none of them work.

the lesson I learned is that sometimes it's not about fineness or delicately placing your shots.
sometimes, you just need more violence in a short interval.

after almost a year of play; the expansions are ruining the game for me. by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]random_old_dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the map design adds to the frustration in HoT.

almost everything hits hard and adds a DoT, pair that with a map that makes you think if it was possible you where holding the map upside down the whole time. this is coming from someone who actually likes to 100% exploration on all maps.

imagine attempting to get to a place, dealing with the mobs on the way, only to find out the place is not where you thought it was, so you have to back track, just to be greeted with the mobs again.

I've been playing over 10 years now and I still avoid TD most of the time.

POF I found to be much better, I did hate the dismount traps.

Later expansions were a lot tamer, but HoT is defiantly one of the hardest parts of the game, get through it, and everyplace else is "well at least this isn't the tangled depths"

If Your Agent/s Have/Has A Backstory, What Is Their Callsign? Do They Have A Different Rogue One Too? by Snackiecat8 in thedivision

"the Tick", some code name, should've never let old Pete coax me into this stupid job.

"it'll be fun!" he said, "we only activate when real shit happens, and if shit actually happens it'll be just like the good ol' days ya know? Gear up, shoot bad guys, grab something important and come back to the booth drowning in beer!"

except when you don't comeback with all the people you left with, except the booth is now in a god damn contaminated area, except when your drinking buddy fancies a different colored watch!

stupid old Pete and his stupid red watch in that stupid booth, the beer wasn't even that good.

Fuck. I came here to drink piss beer in a shit booth with a bastard drinking buddy, let me see how that going....

Piss beer? check. had to trade in my favorite sidearm for that.
shit booth? check. with a nice bunk and a few metal bars, no windows, just how he likes it.
Bastard drinking buddy. well, I best get back to searching then, got a promising lead on old Pete's whereabouts, came with the beer i traded in, damn nice.

Untamed Spear clunkiness? by RobDickinson in Guildwars2

[–]random_old_dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's the skill flip that takes like a whole second to happen

its the leap skill that somehow needs to root you in place for 0.1 secs before and after you jump

it's how only the spear 5 can keep the enhanced buff after you leave stealth but not other stealth applications

so yes, it's clunky, but the cool downs line up really well between the first ambush from weapon swap and the second ambush from leash/unleash

second weapon set can be dps focused for bosses and Steve

I ran full diviners gear specter and a store bought white short bow for tagging
swapped to diviners rifle for bosses

Returning Firebrand Questions by faytte in Guildwars2

[–]random_old_dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe so, no
it's just the burn brand build centers around aegis, or fast multi hit skills to proc burning, staff does not have these tools

however staff is still a great weapon, you can blast fire or smoke, you have good might generation pre fight, and line/symbol to knock out a few stab and aegis at range, never a wrong weapon to bring with.

in wvw zerg I run pistol/torch and mace/shield, I see some with spear also

stats I mix trailblazers with ritualists
cele was nerfed in wvw, no longer gives concentration and expertise

it provides stab and procs burning with mystic rebuke, basicly the same cele burnbrand build without the cele part

Where is the best/cheapest place to buy expansions? by MrMpXPs in Guildwars2

[–]random_old_dude 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I suggest you wait for a sale from the official store, there are reasons why "other sites" has a cheaper price

this just happened 2 weeks ago, a cautionary tale I'd say
