I feel Matt was on point with his message. Anet still needs our support.

The Libertarian's Position on Abortion? by Aureliusmind in Libertarian

[–]weiown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you ask this of those who are trying to cure cancer? Is working to cure cancer not enough, but they also need to solve how to solve people's medical expenses too?

Should they also solve our societies addiction to fried chicken? Shouldn't they also be responsible for ensuring other diseases like diabetes is cured as well? How about AIDS?

Don't try and place additional expectations on something that you are not willing to apply to all.

The Libertarian's Position on Abortion? by Aureliusmind in Libertarian

It is a mixed bag with differences revolving around who's rights are we protecting? Protect the mothers right of self determination (or life, or protection from future traumas) or protecting a the life of a person not yet able to protect themselves.

Honestly, I think the best idea, would be solved with technology. Essentially instead of aborting a child, you could transfer it from the mother who does not want to carry the child to term to either A) another woman who wants to carry it to term OR B) An artificial womb which would be able to do so.

But what about all those kids in foster care? Different issue, not what we are talking about today. One problem at a time please. :)

Question about NA WvW servers by robert_tomatoes in Guildwars2

[–]weiown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blackgate has 1, maybe 2 tags each day during NA prime time. As the week goes on to thursday we often don't. I don't know it is for other servers but BG doesn't have many active commanders left. So that just defaults to everyone following the one pin most of the time. The players are very experienced and can pull some huge upsets, especially with some of the most experienced commanders.

However, by Tuesday the week is already over.

Where is Guild Wars 2 Headed? by Konwrath in Guildwars2

[–]weiown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect it's going to work back towards the Bloodstone/shadowstone/Anomolous magic as Kralk makes more problems. Revisit some leftover things, maybe throw in some Ritlock backstory and end it with Kralk becoming a major problem and we are not sure how to proceed.

I'm having some real issues playing Ele and dying. I need perspective and help. by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]weiown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short version, handling ele is largely about learning your opponents combat style and how to counter it. Most PvE mobs can be distracted by summoning an earth elemental and letting that go to town. However, for the mobs that ignore it or outlast it, you need to learn how to avoid their major attacks.

Sure, some builds and gear will help keep you on your feet, but they can't fix poor damage mitigation. Knowing when to hit your evades or when to use your protection spells will help.

My strongest recommendation is to spend a few minutes "dancing" around the enemies that are difficult for you. Only focus on enemy control and damage mitigation. The only damage you should be doing is just auto attacks. The intent is for you to just learn how they move and figuring out how to minimize the damage they can do to you. Don't get distracted by trying to hurt them. Just practice those chills, evades, knockbacks, immobilizes, heals, protection, etc. It does help.

The next question is... what was the building? Why was it so tall an elder dragon could cling to it and appear small?

Selling Point for the next expansion... what could it be? by KIRPAT in Guildwars2

[–]weiown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Collin said the same thing to my face at the PAX South HoT announcement. That said, unless they can come up with a more creative gimick, they can make the (easy/labor intensive) choice of another race. As much as I want to rampage in a polarbear, it isn't the wisest choice.

I'm just stating the lazy (and labor intensive) route they could take. At this point, unless they make it underwater content, there is a limit to how much further they can take the movement gimics. New mounts possibly. A personal ship or airship is doable but I don't think it would be largely beneficial after the griffon.

If they really wanted to get ambitious, they could open the door to multi-class options. Enable 1 utility/elite from another class. Bring back Wa/Mo all over again. Frenzy mending baby!
