    I knew this comment was coming, you were diagnosed and got better thanks to it and he got diagnosed and didn't.

    No, I didn't get better after being diagnosed. ^^

    Not once have I ever talked about motivation, it is a matter of discipline to change habits, motivation is temporary and fleeting, not saying it's easy of course it's extremely hard and uncomfortable but since the diagnosis didn't improve his situation what's left to do ?

    This doesn't change the limit that a patient can have with his or her illness and the limit of people who don't suffer from it. What he can do, as amateurs on this forum, we don't know. Motivating him to keep looking for it and not giving up is the only thing we can do. But by no means by living in denial and avoiding doctors.

    Now this might sound harsh but if you think it is, please try to look for the deeper meaning behind my following statement : I do not believe in mental disorders like ADHD, depression, etc, the reason being that it would only take power away from me if I did believe them to exist, I’m not saying it’s not a thing, I’m just saying I refuse to believe in something that could open the door to excuses like « I am diagnosed of X so that’s why I struggle to do X » Having this belief system towards this subject is without a doubt a huge tool to manage my mental health and also what helped me achieve a balanced life, Now to be honest, I would probably learn more about myself and find spiritual solace talking to a tree in a forest for half an hour than to someone who might have a vested interest in me feeling a certain way.

    The author of the subject has been diagnosed by professionals (hopefully competent ones, that's another subject...).

    If you are diagnosed, avoiding telling yourself that you are diagnosed isn't going to help. On the other hand, you can disagree with a diagnosis and change doctors or do further research. At this level, it's understanding the disease that will help you, not avoiding a diagnosis.

    I'm translating the text, so I may be mistaken about the meaning of what you said. But you can't tell someone who's been diagnosed that it doesn't matter and do without adhéquat treatment and believe they'll do better that way.

    From your point of view, you didn't have a diagnosis (note, I'm not saying you needed one). If you don't suffer from a disorder, it's a question of motivation, of finding a balance in your life. On the other hand, if you have a real disorder(s), you can't necessarily get out of it with motivation.

    That's what I tried to say in my previous post. Be careful when you talk about your own experience, if you haven't suffered from a disorder, and give advice to someone who has. Because you could lead them to believe that the only thing they lack is motivation. It's a big mistake not to make.

    I was playing last night, the PC rebooted by itself (...) last chapter with this PC assembled in 2019, motherboard out of order (after 2 ram bars that had burned out in November, the GC in December, the power supply...). The news arrives tomorrow, build day in prospect, but not in GW, rather IRL. In short, after changing components, I've got a almost brand-new PC. See you tomorrow, have a good game!

    (it was a crappy PC anyway. Glad I don't have it anymore)

    Guild Wars Server Population & Player Count - MMO Populations

    According to this website, this is the current players, based on the anniversary. 14K is a pretty decent count imo, for a game that hasn't released any real new content in over a decade.

    5,727 is the average estimate of daily players.

    how do they get their numbers?

    We measure two primary metrics: Reddit Subscribers and Reddit Active Users.

    Without stirring the pot, we don't know how it was coded, and even less if an error/bug could see a skin with falls too low or in an exceptional situation (zone, monster, etc.). Who knows, an update in the near future will fix this or that drop problem.

    Istan Shield very rarely falls, but also falls in torment. Out of +15k chests there, I've only seen it fall 2 times.

    That's just Steam statistics, not gamers connected outside Steam. It also seems that the article was created to advertise the Steam store. But after the exodus of summer/fall 2012 it's always good to take.

    Note that with enough human players in the game, the prices of some items are finally coming down. Not all, of course. But I like the fact that armbraces are only 30-35e right now and that ectos are also going down. This would be even more the case with a sales hotel (snif).

    As someone who also suffers from psychological disorders (I won't go into detail on this), I think that in a subject like the one addressed here, we need to separate 2 elements:

    - People who play too much, without having a predisposition, a fragility, which can lead them into a difficult situation.

    - People who gamble too much and are prone, with their predisposition(s), to addictions in general. Be it drugs, alcohol, games in general (gambling, video games), etc.


    Sharing or comparing these hours of play with people who are not affected by disorders or predispositions is equivocal. You can't compare ways of coping or changing course. What works for one person won't work for another.

    I advise you to work in a group, with people affected by disorders identical to yours, under professional supervision. For ADHD, this is a recognized and basic approach.

    Unfortunately, in this day and age, mental illness is a sign of ignorance on the part of people who don't suffer from it, and even of social rejection. It's also hard to find the “right” professionals, to get a diagnosis AND a reliable way out. In 7 years, I've seen it all, between bad diagnoses and the unbearable wait for the right verdict.


    Personally, I have 2 ways of looking at things:

    - The addictions I've managed to reduce. I understand that I abuse them anyway, so I've cut them back drastically, without this preventing me from having a balanced life.

    - The addictions that I couldn't cut down and that were destabilizing my life balance. I had to stop them all, without exception. They put me in an unbearable “state”, either at the time or in terms of recovery.


    After a long time, I managed to stop smoking, drinking coffee, cutting down on alcohol (at this stage, can you say I still drink?) and many other things. But it took several years. I couldn't have done it all at once.

    I don't have a miracle solution, I'm just saying that it's possible to get out of it, but sometimes at the price of a heavy sacrifice. Having the strength to change, then, also comes down to the details, the unsuspected habits of life.


    Good luck.

    People set prices at random. Like, for the 5 SR spear, I'm offered 20a, I refuse, it goes straight to 12a (...) I'm offered the staff version for 5a, even though I bought it for 135e shortly before and dropped one via a weapon in a chest.

    But the real question is the chance of dropping it. It's not % (1-20%) it's either 4 or 5 (I haven't seen 3 or less). On the other hand, there will be a problem of supply and demand, that's for sure.

    For other mods, there are almost exclusively WTS at Kama US. Prices are very low, so it's more like a contest to get rid of them as quickly as possible. ^^

    I don't think so:

    1. The Z chest does not include all the weapons from all the campaigns, but the so-called core weapons and an additional specific selection.

    2. Some players have opened the Z-chest many times without getting any of the new skins offered by the update.

    We shall see if someone gets a drop there but I think it is worth mentioning that a lot of JQ bots have been banned (thankfully) and that has made the Z key prices skyrocket. This definitely decreases the number of people opening z keys but only time will tell. Maybe they are excruciatingly rare like getting an eternal blade drop?

    Except that now we're talking about 48 different skins ^.^'

    I also edited my previous post to add:

    Are all of the Leadership shields OS (non inscr.)?

    the million dollar question is potentially if the zchest can drop canthan targe + 1st anniv japan we could see those insc

    and all the other proph+fact drops for that matter

    Death's Head, req. Death - Domain of Fear, Nightfall - Chest. (This item can be dyed, but no difference when applied to the skin).

    Quicksilver, req. Inspiration - Domain of Fear, Nightfall - Chest. (This item can be dyed, but no difference when applied to the skin).

    The fact that it's too strong lies in the fact that this option can be used on virtually all builds, even if you don't equip it on all your switches (F1-F4). Compared to other mods, which I think are useful in a specific case, with a specific build. That's what makes this mod, compared to the others, an “abusive” element.

    The other is that heroes are stupid. Equipping them with this mod means fewer situations where they run out of mana.

    I've tested this mod in mesmer and unless you're up against a boss that's hard to kill, it's really pleasant, even if I was doing without before. As for the 40/40, I prefer a mesmer staff that also has other attribute skills on builds. Even if I have some 40/40 in reserve just in case. The 40/40 is more for my monk who plays heal. And if adding 5 SR to a 40/40 set leaves me with only 40/20, then I take a 40/20 staff and 5 SR, with a recharge advantage. So it's more useful on a staff and not on a 40/40 set. I see people getting excited about high prices for wand enhancement, and I find it almost pointless.

    As far as I'm concerned, if you don't need an ench.+20%, +30hp, +5ar on a cast weapon (sword, axe, spear), or the same on a staff, this is the mod for you.

    The problem will be supply and demand for SR 5. Like a number of players, I need dozens. The same goes for the staff, spear and blade versions. And that's not counting the price, but simply reconciling supply and demand.

    It's probably a rehash of the Utopia project, like the PvE Elites. But for SR it's a bit of an overkill, to be honest.

    Hello, I also had this problem. Seems like since the update added a hard cap at 180 FPS, this is causing problems. I changed my "Frame Limiter" setting (under the Graphics tab) from "None" to "Monitor Refresh Rate" and everything seems back to normal! exciting! but no more bajillion fps 8D

    Hey.

    I have the same issues, but for me it works on a different thing. I need to limit the framerates at 60fps. My 240hz monitor works better like that and in the past I never had a such problem (I never limited my fps before with the same monitor)

    It's kinda weird.

    Not limiting the FPS in a video game can lead to it exceeding that of your screen. This can result in freezes or, more simply, an unstable relationship between your GC and your screen. This can depend on the video game (there are many video games that are poorly optimized, far more than you might think...), the GC, the screen, the cable that connects them (data flows) and the graphics / HDR options under Windows. (Not to mention G-Syncr. AMD Freesync, etc., linked to your graphics driver and your hardware in general.)
