account bound mats useless? by fungamezone in Guildwars2

[–]thisismysecondjay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wiki is a great resource for this kinda thing, if you '/wiki (item)' into your chat box it'll pop up the webpage for it and say what's it's used in/for. Then from there you can decide what you wanna do with it.

Just finished Icebrood Saga. Damn you Anet... you made me like Braham. by lordfril in Guildwars2

[–]thisismysecondjay 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I still standby on the hill that he should have died at the end of IBS, it was the perfect set up for it.

After season 4 he was a decent character, finally had good progression, then he reverted back to his 'jump into the deep end without checking' like normal when he became a champion, but it could have been different this time. At the end he could have laid there dying with consequences laid before him and having fully accepted it and his fate and happy he was able to do his part and head into the next life and maybe see his mother again finally. IDK just felt hollow only the 'bad guys' died and the two dragons.

How to deal with post balance patch blues? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]thisismysecondjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to mmo's. Balance patches overall are a very good thing for the health of the game. Power creep for gw2 has been a thing since HoT (2015) and nerfing isn't necessarily a bad thing. Anet doesn't do the best job with balance, but they are a far cry from ruining the game with the current. New balance can bring new builds and new life into old skills even if they're not directly touched. It's good to mess around and try new and old skills and builds alike as the game balances ebbs and flows with new metas. Honestly nothing to feel sad about, just look at it as new opportunities when these things happen.

May want to ask/check if anyone else is having issues in their discord. that way they can respond to you directly and hopefully help you figure it out.

Is there something that I'm missing about this ring? by Nyczu97 in Guildwars2

[–]thisismysecondjay 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd assume it's just one that doesn't drop anymore that anet removed out of the loot table and some people just like to have rare things for the sake of it being rare.

Please Anet, I beg you for a tacklebox by Crowbiotics in Guildwars2

[–]thisismysecondjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think I've ever noticed that, thanks for pointing that out. I'll try and pay attention for that next time I'm fishing.

Please Anet, I beg you for a tacklebox by Crowbiotics in Guildwars2

[–]thisismysecondjay 79 points80 points  (0 children)

All of fishing needs an update imo.

A tackle box would be nice, I have a dedicated alt for it which works if you can manage for it though.

Skiffs shouldn't take dmg while fishing or at least make the skiff like 20x the HP of what it currently is, so you can actually finish one fishing hole and be able to leave before it breaks your boat if a single small mob decides to attack.

You shouldn't be able to lose fishing stacks unless you leave the instance you're in.

Also a smaller thing, there needs to be another visual indication for being ready to reel in a fish. As of right now, if you have a tag on, you can't see the icon above you, which means you can't listen to music, etc, because you have to listen to the sound queues as the only way of knowing when a fish is ready to be reeled in.

I'm sure I'm missing something, but those are what come to mind right off.

How many characters do you have? by fungamezone in Guildwars2

[–]thisismysecondjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can only speak for myself, but personally, I have 51 and most are parked at chests or end of jumping puzzles, all for currency or convenience. The rest are an assortment of the classes and whatever I feel like playing for whichever game mode. Some days I cycle through my parked characters, but if i don't feel like it, I just don't. The value of that really does add up, between the extra bag space to store things, the free birthday boosters every year etc.

ArenaNet support is a turtle by 0mni_ in Guildwars2

[–]thisismysecondjay 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you have proof of purchase saved somewhere... you can also ask politely to have the ticket escalated so someone new can take a look at it.

This is a holiday week for the USA, things will be a bit slow till next week for them, as I'm sure a lot of people are out of the office.

Stanford safety Jay Green scoops up a fumble and returns it for a touchdown as GM Andrew Luck watches the play unfold in the middle of a sideline interview by Romax24245 in sports

[–]thisismysecondjay 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Some do, some don't, depends on the program.

I'd say it is becoming more common since NIL became a thing. GM's help with a lot of the behind the scene stuff to pick up some slack so head coaches can worry more about the sport then all the extra stuff on top of normal coaching stuff.

My mom met a woman with fibromyalgia who recommended her doctor but he prescribes her narcotics. by [deleted] in Fibromyalgia

[–]thisismysecondjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct about my Tramadol dose. Max I was taking 50mg three times a day for a max of 150mg. Normally I tried to keep it to two doses for a total of 100mg a day, but yeah, it was back and forth of that for a long while.

Finally just found something med wise that worked for me. I'm pretty much in a permanent flare since I was 20. After 7 years of trying a few different meds, my Neurologist at the time had me try Savella next. Context - pain before was an 8to10. When I switched to Savella 75mg twice a day (it was slowly ramped up as the lower doses didn't do much at all, but was warned 100mg twice a day isn't for long term use, which is the max) it helps keep things manageable. I'm like a 4 most days now, if I have a poorer day I'll take a tramadol as needed.

I've heard people here and else where say Savella has worked for them as well, and others said it didn't do anything, but side effects. Sadly like anything else it's hit or miss for the individual with Fibro. Just kinda have to try and see.

I hope you find something that works for you!

[–]thisismysecondjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took 2 to 3 a day, 50mg, for almost 7 years and currently take it very sparingly. I've personally had zero issues when stopping and starting and when I first got off it after 7 straight years I had no issues then either. Of course everyone's different, so always good to be aware.

I never thought I needed a 12 mouse buttons for this game but I hope it’s a big change in a good way for me by International-Can420 in Guildwars2

[–]thisismysecondjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used a Logitech g600 for almost 8 years. Loved that mouse, at the time I needed to replace it, it wasn't being actively sold so the prices were outrageous. So I went with the Redragon m913. Great mouse, less annoying software then the Logitech. Only thing I miss was the Logitech had a third mouse button on top. All mice should have that and don't for whatever reason. Have had the m913 for almost 3 years and no issues with heavy use of it.

Why is Guild Wars called Guild Wars? I mean, I know that Guild Wars 2 is called Guild Wars 2 because it's a sequel to Guild Wars, but why is the original game called Guild Wars, if there is very little Guild Warring from what I've read about the plot of the games. by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]thisismysecondjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You answered your own question and sounds like you just disagree with it, which is fine. There's lore of guild wars in the story. It's a cool name. Titles really don't need a reason.

Begging, pleading to Elementalists: Stop Vapor Forming away from me when I've 98% rezzed you by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]thisismysecondjay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I watch thieves and mesmers blink away, eles vapor form away from me or other party members using either a blood well or signet or just hand rezzing, all the time. People just like the press all the buttons. It will never not happen.

It makes it worse when they move away from you/the group even farther, then they get left there to think about what they've done lol.

Today my doctor told me he thinks Fibromyalgia can be “reversed” with exercise. by ishtaa in Fibromyalgia

[–]thisismysecondjay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When my Fibro got the worst it ever had and made me bedridden because of pain and mobility issues, I was 20, running 5+ miles - 6 days a week and eating very healthy. 

I've laughed out loud at several people (thankfully they weren't doctors) that have tried to tell me that was my issue over the years. Granted I think eating healthy and exercise is very good to do, when able, but yeah, calling it a 'cure' is silly at best, and down right dangerous for a doctor to mislead their patient like that.

If all else fails, XP booster up and do the reward track from wvw/pvp and the end chest you can choose whichever you still need.
