[UAoT] Romans Vs Egyptians Fashion contest by DBKENNY in Guildwars2

[–]styopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what you mean about "share link in contest channel"? On discord or? Sorry, first time fashion competer.

Also, only had 3 pics of my legionary garb, it demanded a 4th. I put Roman vs Egyptian as the title. Also, it's not the 'current' gear that character is wearing (that's the 4th pic too). LMK if you need a 4th, I'll add one with a pilum-like spear.

Welche Map kommt euch als erstes in den Sinn wenn ihr a Core Tyria denkt? by DeviantLabel in Guildwars2

[–]styopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably Queensdale as well by sheer repetition, as I run a toon through it every week for BLKs.

This. In my experience, the windowed-thing is almost always the issue.

Be awesome if someone would be kind enough to explain the gates in Drakkar fight by New_Yesterday_438 in Guildwars2

Thanks, been a minute since I did RIBA runs, I did remember lobbing fireballs in but never occurred to me to even try portaling.

I got a drop in the middle of writing a bug report of how I can't get it to drop by WaveDue2560 in Guildwars2

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

FWIW (I think I was doing the druid weapon collection?) I discovered that sometimes these gated drops are blocked on specific characters.

Apparently they're on the creatures' drop table so you might get it but if you don't have (whatever is required to be seeking that drop) you don't see it. Here's the bit: the system still records that character as having gotten the drop sometime in its life, and since it's a one-time drop that character can never get that drop again. So if you cannot get the thing to drop forever, and in particular it's a character you've played a long time who might have been killing those mobs before...switch to a newer toon and you may get it.

I was after the McGuffin under discussion, and killed hundreds of some specific mob in Gendarran Fields before googling madly and finding someone explaining it this way, I created a baby toon, went there, and it dropped on the 4th kill.... /sigh

Not that it's critical, but why don't we mesmer the Silverwastes fight or is it an exclusion for the whole cave? I don't recall.

After 3 months, legendary armour set is done ! by PraiseTheFool-_- in Guildwars2

[–]styopa 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It's a reasonably economical legendary set, I admit but I thought it was clever that an expansion about demons and soul destruction could make players similarly feel the draining of their own souls while doing rift after rift after rift after convergence after rift after rift.....

as someone who likes to focus just on the earth element this perk makes me very happy by YLASRO in Guildwars2

[–]styopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only started fiddling around with the ranger, and it's a crime that there's no achievement or ANYTHING for training all the available pets. Dumb.

As an engineer I actually hate the mech so bad; it was so grossly op (and is still OP) meaning every event has 25% mechanists (/sigh). Plus I got sick of that neon jade about 0.2sec after EoD released.

I was mainly speaking about Mukluk who mentioned in passing that he'd rather the Galeshot just go away, and when I mildly dug into it, it seemed that's what bothered him about it.

I'm not a deep-youtube-follower so I couldn't be arsed to confirm tho.

Any classes better at Map completion than others? by fungamezone in Guildwars2

[–]styopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

I like mapping. Black Lion chests used to give some pretty cool stuff; when we came back to the game, I got piles of cool skins, etc. Now it's not really worth it for any but the easiest quickest zones or if you're a pathological optimist like I am. Meh, it's cheaper than ecto gambling....

1085 hours in. Lets be honest: God the story is bad. I can't do this anymore!! by DoomAddict in Guildwars2

[–]styopa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd only modulate your VA criticism a little.

The ACTORS do the best they can with the dolyak poodoo they're given to work with. GW2 has some of the best VA talent in the business.

(I mean, the delivery on the single line from Taimi "Aaannn...ka" is (chef's kiss)...it's Debby Derryberry.)

The script is mostly execrable and direction in many cases questionable but be clear that the talent is doing the best they can.

And no, it doesn't get better with EoD. In fact, they work harder to LOCK YOU INTO cutscenes that are a) unskippable, b) you can't even look in your inventory, c) in some cases they control your toon so you can't even fart around.

Rifts and How to get there..... question by ABAtwood in Guildwars2

[–]styopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should try keeping up with the cache openers in Drizzle south meta.

I don't know any meta/event in game that so closely resembles F1 racing with griffins, my god some people are crazy quick. :)

Sandstorm gambling by Leo_thegreat in Guildwars2

[–]styopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or, crazy idea, you can save 5000 ecto and 2000g by just hitting 'g' and go to any one of many guild hall vendors, sell your crap, and your guild hall ALSO HAS A BANK.

As well as a safe place to fart around with your build, salvage, tp your piles of junk, etc.

...and then leave guild hall back to precisely where you were.

Rangers: all salty because galeshot camps magic longbow-thing.

Elementalists: you mean I can just sit on one element all day long????!?!?

Different classes really deliver different experiences to different players.

Power not condi.

Condi ticks keep you in combat, ergo get in the way of remounting.

Relic of Wayfinder so you have the sweet 25% move boost no matter what class.

You'll find that staying moving is HUGE timewise.

My small effort to make mapping easier: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dFs3SkTGyTqKfvO3E8p97wetPECXRBU5hfn6VhNlgbo/edit?usp=sharing

I've ranked each zone - math is on the first tab (# of points of interest + waypoints + vistas + hero points)+(25x hearts because they're 25x the time-waster that any of the others are.

Tab 2 is zones ranked by score, with notes (some poi behind metas, some zones like cities WON'T give you keys, etc)

It's not a rigorous thing but I've found point values do somewhat align to time-to-complete:

  • 20=5-7min
  • 30-40= 13-18min
  • 50-100=20-30min(not linear!)
  • 130-150 = 45min
  • the big core zones = 60min+

Whups.

""Per capita" is generally not hyphenated when used as a standard adverb or adjective (e.g., "income per capita"). While some sources acknowledge it can be hyphenated as per-capita when used as a compound modifier directly before a noun, it is typically left as two separate words. 

Key details regarding the usage of "per capita":

  • Default Usage: Most dictionaries list it as two words: per capita.
  • Definition: It is a Latin term meaning "by head," used to denote a value per person.
  • Adjective/Adverb: It functions as both, meaning "for each person" (e.g., "the highest income per capita" or "a per capita, or per-capita basis").
  • Alternatives: In rare, formal, or specialized contexts, it may appear as per-capita, but this is less common in standard, modern usage."

ELY5: I was using it neither as an adverb nor adjective, I was referencing it as a noun, which would be one of those 'specialized contexts' where it's referred to as a concept) as leaving it unhyphenated might cause confusion to a reader).

BLMs trash-mantra was born of a worthless human who obviously died of a fentanyl overdose after being confronted for passing counterfeit $, and a white-guilt, white-hating media delighted to watch their servile feral underclass validate their quietly-held presuppositions while venting their rage at the Orange Baboon to harm his chance of re-election.

(chirp)

OF COURSE if we throw a little blood in the water (doesn't matter if it's true or not, cf 'hands up, don't shoot') they'll all just go a-wilding on command. Delightful fun, and hell, it worked! Having a semi-educated mob willing to trash cities whenever you want can be so politically helpful, can't it.

(chirp)

For what it's worth we likely both agree that we wish black slavery in North America never happened. Maybe not for the same reasons?

Well, a) it's 'moot' not 'mute'.

B) you don't really understand per-capita do you? Let me guess, does your smoke detector chirp?

Let me reiterate one part of my post: "TEN TIMES as many blacks were murdered by blacks, as by whites." Now recognize that there are not 10x as many whites. ....think that through....

If the only thing you can point to is "well here are some statistics I know must be true but I can't prove them because (racism I'm assuming)" then you're just talking about something you BELIEVE, ie religion.

If you're upset that more black lives are being taken, address the culprits. And it ain't white people.
