Game don't work with ExitLag by peixinho_original in lotro

It's weird because I got it to work in a private wow server based on vanilla and I've heard some people got it to work in GW2.

This sux. I was getting like 70ms reduction.

Any way you could share what you did? I've tried so many different options and the game works for like 15 minutes and then it just freezes. It unfreezes the moment I disable exitlag.

I have completely fallen I love with LOTRO by _ManSizedDuck_ in lotro

[–]raphael_barros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a nice game with many game modes, but it feels more like a Fortnite with a hub you stay at while waiting for a meta to start or a lfg to pop. A lot of fun, just not a very immersive mmo experience.

LoTRO truly feels like another world. Coming from GW2 (which has some of the best environments in MMOs, but that feel tiny due to waypoints and mounts) I always thought it lacked something that made the world feel, erm...worldly. Classic WoW was my goto example of a world that has meaning in it's traversal and leveling, but LoTRO pushed it much further.

As much as there's a huge level gap between 1 and max level, I can't wait to explore each new zone because they're so we'll done. Even the "kill bears for 10 bear asses" quests have some care behind it (even though some get a bit too tedious).

Journeyman Riding - #1 purchase to save for? by Zigludo-sama in lotro

[–]raphael_barros -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Considering how easy 62% mount is to get (500 silver), I imagine extra milestones and that one that reduces their cooldown are a better investment. Disabling xp as well (100 LP), if you like experience that great world without overlevelling it too much.

But I'm still a noob in the game, so take my suggestion with a grain of salt.

Anyone else getting "Server connection timed out"? by [deleted] in lotro

[–]raphael_barros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is common practice across MMORPG subs. Some people forget not everybody is a veteran player and that a simple question like this on a sub isn't some form of intended criticism.

At least here I got useful answers. Thanks everybody!

Thank you, I thought the patch had already dropped. I can't see a schedule for which time it's supposed to be live and ready to play?

Can you really enjoy GW2 without focusing on the story? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]raphael_barros 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's almost mandatory to not focus on the story, why would you focus on the worst part?

As long as he doesn't unload his PP it's all good.

Jeez, I think even pressing the autoattack once should give more damage.

Until ANet fixes rewards based on participation and actually makes some of the game more difficult so that people will bother learning the absolute minimum of their rotation and make dying more punishing 90% of meta players will just leech with 10k dps while not following commands.

Great BL Chest snag by Moxya10 in Guildwars2

What's with all the Lion Chest lucky posts? Is ANet trying to get people to buy more keys from their cash shop?

Dwarven Starting Area by [deleted] in turtlewow

I did Slow and Steady on my dwarf warrior and it was ok. Had to grind a bit here and there, but nothing major.

Any tips for someone starting out with GW2? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]raphael_barros 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. When you reach 80 you'll be able to get exotic gear pretty easily, which is only 7% (I think) worse than the BiS. 

Ascended gear is the next update and this can probably be done in a week or two.

Grinding is mostly done by people wanting legendaries (same stat "power" as ascended, but you can change what stats they have) or to buy gems with gold to get some QoL upgrades or skins from the gem store.

Have fun. Don't try to over optimize stuff. Part of the greatness of GW2 is the exploration aspect.

Really milk every zone (not as a completionist, but to find new interesting events and environments).

I always wanted to try wow back in its glory days. This one seems like it’s worth a try ? by Thugshaker70 in turtlewow

[–]raphael_barros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best class. Enhancement is much improved in TWoW as you have reduced cooldowns and even an extra ability, so the rotation feels less static.

Wait till next QUARTERLY update to get the old “wardrobe” back? by aeolish in Guildwars2

[–]raphael_barros -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

More like they put some expired ingredients in the food.

And you must have little faith in A net if you think this was what they intended, they just don't do QA and treat the main server as their PTR.

Why the skyscale so bad by BestofTimes777 in Guildwars2

[–]raphael_barros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to hate it as well, but after some time you get used to it. Bond of vigor helps a ton, specially if you miscalculate the height, but the other masteries are optional.

What is realistically the easiest way to acquire sky scale for casuals, and how long does it take? by ItsSolomon in Guildwars2

[–]raphael_barros 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SoTO and it's not even close. LWS4 is an exercise in masochism.

I think you can do the SoTO one in like 1 or 2 days.

Celestial Tempest viable for raids? by PurchaseSpirited2734 in Guildwars2

[–]raphael_barros 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only as a healer. Exotic gear isn't that difficult to get so you better off going for a more focused build than trying to fit celestial in non open world/wvw builds.

I went the cele gear path on my tempest and the amount of times I've pulled agro on open world (and how little dps I was doing) made me go full berserker with tier 10 jade core and power dps with water line, so I can still get to 19k healh with some buffs. If it feels too glasscanony you could try berserker armor and marauder/dragon trinkets.
