  • Underappreciated items

    Quote from Coffee Man

    This one (in different attributes)! Used to hoard Warden Horns and other collector items so I could get them for all my caster heroes on every character :D In my opinion it's one of the best staff skins in the game!

    I swear they made that staff skin not drop anywhere knowing some ppl would go crazy trying to collect the stupid trophies. It's underappreciated by players because so many seem to have the idea "If it ain't gold it ain't good", and it got no love from A-Net making it so annoying to get them in the different attributes.

    It really is saddening that such a great skin is pretty widely unknown to many players.

    Quote from Kabong

    Apologies if you have seen this before.

    I've never owned an item possessing such a quantity and variety of perfection yet garnering so little appreciation as this.

    Holy Schniekies! I made a 3 attribute Dragon Staff, but, all 4 Monk attributes on one piece of prenerf goodness is EPIC... (it had to be a Holy Branch tho xD).


    Now that I think about it... maybe it deserves more love just because most monk twigs aren't. It's like actually liking your mother-in-law.

    cosyfiep it might be possible to not annoy you every time you login.

    Most providers even those using dynamic IPs the assigned IPs are within a range assigned to your ISP. I'm not sure but if you login once with 2 step there is usually a 'remember this network' option. Right now I think it remembers the exact IP but perhaps if you can figure out the range anet could *possibly* set the range as your trusted network.

    I agree it's annoying, but, I like to look at the positive side...

    All those stolen gw1 accounts used by spammers are lost if the accnt ever had 2 step set up, plus I guess most that were just linked to gw2.

    That alone is a huuuuuge win in my book.

  • What's your favorite movie?

    I'm not sure it's my 'favorite' since I watch lots of movies, but, it's the only one I bought a digital copy of since I couldn't find it on netflix, hulu, or amazon prime video for free.

    "Idiocracy" is pretty hilarious, I love a good comedy. It's kinda odd, it was a satire but seems to be turning more and more into a documentary.

  • How did Guild Wars treat you today?

    Just did bogroot with some random guy I met in gadds with heros.

    He opened the chest first and got a q13 chan froggy (+ a junk item) so ofc I figured on crapola...

    However, the gods were smiling on me, and a q9 dom froggy popped out when I opened the chest. In all the runs i've done it was my 2nd froggy drop evar. =D

    Guess I won't complain about my other drop being onyx lol

  • Snipe a gold seller bot with a headshot

    Quote from cosyfiep

    I think that the anet people should do that themselves---they have plenty of accounts they can use as dummy agents...and ways of getting their money back from the thieves. So I would leave that part to them--if they wish to.

    Yes, i agree it is something ANet should do themselves, but, the only obvious recent action has been the ban hammer for their spammers and there is always replacements. I figured it was more likely players being proactive would provide quicker results since there is limited staff doing stuff for gw1 these days. If ANet knew it was taking place they could check logs and find useful info possibly.

    Really all I want is less of the spam but kill one 3 more show up so go after the sites somehow. ?(

  • Snipe a gold seller bot with a headshot

    I had a thought...

    Anet has been banning some of the website spam bots but is there a way to get the website storage accounts too?

    Would it be possible to 'purchase' a small (as cheap as possible) amount so they have to meet you to deliver the stuff and then report the account that makes the delivery. Yes, buying bad, but, if you only did it to trap rmt storage accounts is it truly 'bad'? You could then drop 'purchases' on the ground and leave the explorable or just trashcan the stuff so in reality you only 'purchased' the chance to possibly nuke some of their inventory. You wouldn't be gaining anything in game if you trash the items, you would just lose a few bucks and possibly identify a website storage mule.

    If something like this could be set up with anet's blessing (albeit probably not their money) it might be a good way to grief some sites into closing down.

    as I said, its just an idea and probably a poor one, but, there must be a way to hurt them more than just getting advertising bots banned.

  • If you could

    Quote from Motoko

    I am genuinely surprised they never released White Mantle and Shining Blade armor for WiK.

    I feel like that would have boosted ridiculous amounts of participation for exclusive armor to that content.

    I can only imagine how many medals of honor that would've been, but yeah, i'd love having some of the WiK npc armors available.

  • Canthan drops and blue req.8 +12 energy offhand

    single inherent shields/focuses you can safely merch, except possibly a q7 ar16 prenerf single (obv none are).

    The q8 e12 insc blue focus is probably ~20e (or were last I knew, ectos = wtf recently tho lol)

    Q11 +5e gothic sword is probably a few ectos, i'd take pretty much whatever someone offers. Its a heavily farmed skin, dragon moss farm drops them... go to St. A's and watch the R/As in offline parade out the door.

    Rest idk, but, probably not a ton on the 2 off shields

    (and the demons focus I have no clue what the doa nutters like, shields sure they use 'em, focuses? No clue xD )

  • Game update May 3 2018

    My pc isn't 'brand new' but one would think a gtx 1060 ftw would be fine even with the new settings on... and it was fine, it only started happening in the last few days and I've had the new gfx options on since they were added with no issues

    Weird.

  • Game update May 3 2018

    i'm not having issues with fl connectivity, my issue has been at random my fps drops to 20-25fps for a minute or so. I have vsync on, never had an issue with it dropping below 60fps before.

    Yeah, I have the new gfx options on, but, the fps drops only started the past few days.

  • A little help maybe?

    Personally, I wish the stupid guards would start trying to walk in a different direction when you talk to them.

    Its the player blocking the guards, and the guards block Levers.

  • Price of Ecto

    *sigh* I guess I'm old. I look at the mats I have, do math, and type in how many to make and hit craft... it's like basic math and 3-4 mouse clicks (my number pad is on my mouse too).

    I guess I'm too old for these newfangled automatatonizationing sauftwere.

    Edit: Wait? Ppl BUY mats for consets? I thought the mats were a byproduct of salvaging crap drops from chestrunning (plus a small amount of feather farming since nothing salvages to feathers that drops from chests). Or maybe that's just my method lol.

  • PC OS Stuff,

    Tall shield = 264g.

    Be sure to read the rules. New items = new thread, close the old one/mark resolved but leave the OP intact so ppl can see the items and pc.

    New items in an old thread leads to

    wtf ^ talking about? What bow? What staff? What crude?


    ***mod edit---what Looney said...READ the rules PLEASE!!!, thanks Looney--mod edit***

  • [PC] Mixed Stuff III

    tbh I would merch/hero most everything.

    The 20/20 q9 holy branch could fetch maybe 10e but idk for sure, they are pretty common to find

    The q4 ar 12 gold sharktooth is the only 'max' shield listed but I'm no good on prices

    The way to figure out max armor for shields is (req+8)=max ar

    So q0=ar8, q1=ar9, q2=ar10, q3=ar11, etc

    Red's thread can maybe help with other shield/weapon ar/dmg questions.

    GW gear stat ranges and Gallery - Rebirth

    20% undead bow mods are somewhat used and fetch ~2e

    (maybe demons too but few and far between)

    Others there are some ppl who collect them but finding the right collector is a p.i.t.a.

  • The Report Function - And We Should Be Using It Against Bots

    As far as the rmt website kama spambots, I was told report them for 'spamming' not 'botting'.

    It was explained to me like this:

    A 'botting' report cs will look at activities in explorable areas for suspicious activity.

    A 'spamming' report they will look at chat logs for content/frequency of what they say.

    'Spamming' is kind of the blanket report for them to look at chat and see websites being advertised.

    if even that is tl;dr

    Bots in jq / spam in kama
