  • Guild Wars Virtual Identity Survey

    Hey all,

    I wanted to share with you that I just had a really interesting interview with someone who is studying a PhD in Psychology and who is researching people's virtual identity in video games. They are trying to learn whether people tend to create characters that represent themselves, an idealized version of themselves, or someone completely different. It was a genuinely really interesting and fun interview and I just wanted to pass the message on to see if anyone else would like to take part in the study. The interviewer currently has 79 out of 200 participants that he needs for his research so I thought why not ask the great GW community to see if anyone else would be interested in taking part. I have done a PhD myself and I know how difficult it is, so any help for this guy in his research would be great!!

    Here is the link for more information. You just fill out a quick survey and then the researcher will ask you to have a short interview. I just did my interview a few minutes ago and it lasted just over an hour: https://ubpsychology.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cSlw8tHptYaxoIl

    The research is being conducted at the University of Barcelona. It's really interesting to discover what identity your virtual Guild Wars character represents. It turns out I view my character as someone who is quite different to myself in reality!

  • Title ratios

    Ha!

    And yes I was aware that there were other threads like this (indeed this may well be a duplicate that ends up getting removed..)! I saw the other day that Péter Kádár has 33,333 points in Wisdom, though I don't know his Treasure Hunter score!

  • Title ratios

    Quote from TongTong

    Well I am working a little project (which is taking some times).

    Maxing my lucky/unlucky titles without the rings, or opening a chest who counts towards the title (so no HM, nothing higher than elonian/canthan/kournan chests)

    Here is what it looks so far :

    This is cool! So did you start a fresh account to do this? And do you have 0 in the Treasure Hunter title?

  • Title ratios

    Thanks for the reply Red.

    I did have a look at the wiki page and it looks like playing Nine Rings and standing in the corner circle is the quickest way to max Unlucky, yet you suggested I play Rings of Fortune? I assume you meant that if I wanted to bring my ratio closer to 5:1 then I should play Rings of Fortune, not that playing Rings of Fortune is the fastest method to max my Unlucky title. Have I understood you correctly?

    I'm not specifically interested in bringing my ratio closer to 5:1. I was more just making the general point that I thought the ratio was high. In fact, as you say, the ratio isn't that high given the probabilities associated with the Nine Rings game (which was the main method I used to max my Lucky title).

    More generally, I was intending for this thread to be a place for others to share screenshots of their title ratios, not necessarily for me to seek advice about maxing titles. Hopefully others will share theirs too!

  • Title ratios

    Hi all,

    I'm currently stood at Nine Rings slowing working on my Unlucky title. Somehow I have managed to amass way more Lucky than Unlucky, resulting in a 10:1 ratio of Lucky:Unlucky. Looking back I'm a little bit stunned as to how this has occurred. It is also a little bit frustrating given that the optimal ratio afaik is 5:1 in order to max both titles (2.5m Lucky points required versus 500k unlucky points required). I also heard a rumour that it is uncommon for someone to max their lucky before unlucky - is this really the case?

    This made me think - what other obscene ratios do other players have on their accounts? For example massive amounts of one faction versus another, or even greater disparities between Lucky and Unlucky? I'm curious - please share!

    Hi all,

    Welcome to my WTS thread. Selling all for the purpose of trying to max my zrank! I will update this from time to time with new items. I will allow 1 week from the time of any update for bidding to take place on any item added to the thread. Please PM me either here or in game to arrange a time to collect. All weapons are max and gold unless otherwise stated.

    As always, I reserve the right to not sell an item if something in me suddenly decides I actually want to keep it (unlikely). I may also from time to time update listings with revised b/o prices.

  • Offering taxi to CtC

    Hi there,

    I am offering a taxi service to the Central Transfer Chamber. The cost will be 100e/2a per person and I can take up to 2 people with me at a time.

    Why might you want this service?

    • Access to Armorer to craft Gauntlets (Chaos, Dragon, Stone), Armor (Deldrimor, Silver Eagle) and headgear (Bandana).
    • Access to Collector to craft Destroyer Gauntlets.
    • Access to Hero Armor (Brotherhood Armor).
    • Access to Glint's Challenge for farming destroyer cores.

    Feel free to write here or PM me in game. IGN: Devilish Scythe Z

    Note that because this can only be done once per character I will wait until I have 2 persons agreed before proceeding.

    Cheers,

    Devilish

  • LF Quote on Heart of the Shiverpeaks/Central Transfer Run

    Hey, if you're still after this I have a couple of characters who are ready to make the transition to the Central Transfer Chamber (i.e. HoS, DD, ATFH).

    Someone once offered me 10a to get them to CtC but I think this was a bit of a joke as the guy never actually joined me. So I'd be happy to do it for much less than that. That said I'm not sure what would be considered reasonable. Perhaps 1a?

    PM me in game and we can discuss. IGN: Devilish Scythe Z
