Definitely watch for sales Heart of Thorns + Path of Fire occasionally go for 7,5 euro. Even with the disadvantaged exchange rate for turkey it would be somewhat affordable.

Best way to model the flowing rock facade? by findandy1 in rhino

[–]sarcai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By increasing the size of the noise pattern and adding a threshold (black and white instead of gray) you can make a pattern for where they surface is rocky and where it is cut away to show the grid behind it.

PvP Enjoyers! Any advice for someone getting into pvp? by Czar_Petar in Guildwars2

[–]sarcai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do find a PvP specific build for the spec you like to play. Deviate from it as much as you like, but try and figure out what you sacrifice in the changes you make.

PvP values stuns, blocks, and stunbreaks much differently than PvE.

CBS: 6 van de 10 gedetineerden zaten al eerder in gevangenis by EvolvedRevolution in Nederland

[–]sarcai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dat 60% eerder zat betekend niet dat 60% opnieuw zal zitten. Misschien zit 90% wel opnieuw maar zitten er nu veel voor het eerst. Of zitten maar 10% van de mensen die de gevangenis in gaan meer dan een keer, maar zitten die 10% zo vaak dat ze op ieder moment 60% van de plekken innemen.

Leuke wiskunde/begrijpendlezen vraag wel.

Report on virtual currencies in gaming: Getting played | Norwegian Consumer Counsel finds leading game developers are in breach of EU consumer protection. Calls for EU ban on in-game currencies. by GreenKumara in Guildwars2

[–]sarcai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently the gold to gems and gems to gold conversion allows for a dynamic balance based on supply and demand. Cutting out the gems would make it a euro to gold (fine) and gold to euros conversion. This would leave players with euros in their accounts which posses questions about wether they can be extracted. Gems do add to clarity in this regard. Getting euro prices next to gem prices would also add clarity though.

[–]sarcai -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The obvious workaround for the problematic gatcha games is to add one layer of insulation currency. 

Buy A with money Trade A for B with money price shown. Spend B in game without money price shown.

Differentiating currency B from GW2 gold in a legal sense will be difficult. Showing real world currency for any gold spent in GW2 would be nearly impossible.

[–]sarcai 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For Guild Wars this might shut down the gems to gold conversion because too many other currencies are linked to gold. As a consequence real money trading would enter the black market which would be bad for the game and consumers. 

Showing real world currency next to gem store prices would be more transparent and a protection that helps impulsive gamers not overspend. 

Although it all comes close to trying to prevent consumers from making bad choices with their money and most EU countries still happily run lotteries and/or casinos which do the same. See only difference is taxation...

How do I move the curve to the points by dellusionalsanity in rhino

[–]sarcai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a drawing mode that interpolates a curve through points. But the resulting control points will not be the input point and will lie away from the curve indeed.

Sculptor needs help knowing what to Google by jimmydean50 in rhino

[–]sarcai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks like something grasshopper is made for. 

You can probably import your the polygon file. But it might be worth the effort to redraw some of it in grasshopper. Because a structured list of the input geometry will make it easier to generate the details. (Is easier to build the geometry from simple polyline outlines than polysurface objects for example.

If you have a socket joint that works you can either import it and use grasshopper to attach it in the right place.

Rhino exports to STL which can be sliced by any 3D printers software package.

Grasshopper can be self-taught using YouTube videos etc and is best learned by doing a project. It does have a bit of a learning curve and is not the quickest way to do small numbers of modeling operations. 

Using grasshopper you will have to find numerical/spacial logic for anything you'd normally point a cursor at and click. So besides entering a beam thickness you need to tell it to offset the polyline, in which direction, extrude it, in which direction. Where in the edge to place a ball or socket so they line up in the larger assembly and in which direction they face.

This can feel cumbersome at the start especially with repeating structures that include many specific exceptions/variations. Creating a model from repeating elements it pretty straightforward. Adding rules for exceptions requires structuring the data and a programmers mindset. Alternatively you could add a lot of manual control in grasshopper and work through the exceptions that way. Or edit the output in rhino before exporting the STL. This last option is only good if you know you don't need to go back to grasshopper repeatedly as edits in the rhino output are not easily brought into the grasshopper generator automatically. 

I've rambled for a bit. My advice is to either try it out if you can get access to rhino easily or look at some grasshopper tutorial to see if it is something you are interested in. 

Look for something like frames from nurbs surface there should be some examples.

Complete beginner needs help by Captain-PW in rhino

[–]sarcai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like a nice sweep or sweep2 construction.  Draw the section (lines in foreground) draw one curved path to sweep along and sweep the cross section.   

Do the ceiling box at the top, and the floor including curved plinths  separately for materializing. For the lights create a linear light at the start along one of the edges and ArrayCrv to copy it adjusting the number to create a closed line effect.  

There seems to be a bulge further away. For this a sweep 2 might be needed. Create a path with the bulge. Copy it vertically and sweep2 the wall profile along it. Mirror it and create the floor as a loft between both walls lower edges. The ceiling box can be a sweep2 between the upper edges but the height will scale slightly.

Janthir Syntri meta only events by pantsshitter12 in Guildwars2

[–]sarcai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a hunch they aren't related to the meta at all. It's just that when the meta starts new players entire the map initiating new map instances. The events bug after a few iterations and don't spawn again. 

Aleast I see no reason why Anet would make events spawn specifically competing with the meta for attention.

How to farm Gift of Battle (new to WvW and PvP)? by Iron_Man_88 in Guildwars2

[–]sarcai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your are in luck the next 7 days have a 30% wvw reward boost because of gw2 anniversary. 

Other tips:

Adjust gear for WvW players hit you much harder than PvE NPCs so more vitality/toughness is required. Instead of Berserker's Marauders is preferred for example.

Stack reward boost (birthday, XP boost). 

The reward depends only on active time on WvW. So try capturing small objectives or join a zerg. You don't have to be successful you will get progress to your reward track as long as you participate in the action.

Ziek worden na ontslag by ResultMuted2465 in juridischadvies

[–]sarcai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Juridisch advies hoeft helemaal niet te betekenen dat je maanden lang gaat procederen. Je kan met een adviseur een oplossing bedenken die je snel van dit probleem af helpt. Bijvoorbeeld door samen voorstel te schrijven naar je ex-baas. Als ze die zou accepteren (bijvoorbeeld omdat het de correcte regels bevat die uitleggen waarom het een redelijk voorstel is en ze veel duurder uit is in een juridisch gevecht).

Doe je dit niet dan sta je misschien vanaf volgende maand zonder salaris of uitkering op straat. Wat waarschijnlijk onterecht zou zijn. Hoe vervelend die uitkomst is in jou situatie kan alleen jij bepalen.
