Megalodon champion[edit]

There seem to be a bug with the way the bounding volume for the foe collision and it hits detection work. Purchased 100 water nets and still couldnt solo it under 75%. Do not engage him alone with a ping above 300 ms. Yseron - 90.15.191.48 05:20, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

The hit box on the charge attack from bull sharks is retarded--Relyk ~ talk > 05:22, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Tyrolean undeads megamix[edit]

- The first foe is actually not attacking at all. Reported the bug through the console command.
- The second one is a fun mayhem because of the 2 acolytes that spawn mobs of suicide bombers
- The third and fourth one are routines you can do to upset Linsey

Random thoughts[edit]

I just watched a movie called Battleship. With so many movies where humanity save the planet by mounting a blunderbuss on a wheelchair tractor-drawn by a tapir i couldnt help but think that we are either sure to be alone in this universe, or that we want to tell to technologically advanced species that we are a bunch of hatred primtives. The advantage with movies is that you can choose who win. Yseron - 90.14.103.221 21:35, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

The art of story telling[edit]

Dont look these... err, dont listen those stories if you have trouble sleeping. There is the equivalent of a whole library of these books on the internet. Yseron - 90.15.48.195 21:40, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Dont ask[edit]

Not suitable for children (there is no parental control in here so i am bound to put some kind of notice each time): The only thing i am sure is that i will reserve a sit for this artistic jewel. Yseron - 90.15.48.195 22:19, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Fake trailers[edit]

I'm not sure as to why there are so many fake (read: fan made) trailers on youtube. You recognise them easily as they usually got a lot of bad reviews, wich does not seem to stop their author to go on. I suppose i'm not the first to think that they somehow dont measure the negative impact those clumsy videos have on people who are waiting for a genuine trailer. Perhaps it's just their way to show their love for the stuff present in these videos, but one that tend to deserve them and the object of their love. I wouldnt mind if it was easy to filter the trailers in order to see only the real ones, because evryone has the right to express itself through video. The problem with those fake trailers, is that they are hard to avoid, almost as hard to avoid as they are bad. Yseron - 90.15.63.107 20:58, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Interesting, but the Romans knew that a man was tired quickly just hacking and stabbing hence their rotation. It's the endurance that is important, not just the ability to do a task. Also, I read elsewhere that the temperature could be exhausting too. Still, it's fascinating to see. Claret 21:08, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Survivability[edit]

I hadnt play WvW with my warrior until this evening (to advance the monthly to 3/4). My first experience with it was terrible. After a few butt kicks in my patotee i remembered something called a shield and starting from there WvW was a breeze. But most importantly, i remembered how to never go alone into ennemy territory. However, this new guildwars will never see the glory of Miss Eva Devine defeating 2 warriors and an assassin again, since the controls are not nearly viable enough to allow that and keep me interested in low-end pvp for extended periods of time.

WvW upgrades[edit]

I have spoted a few upgrades that catched my attention but the ones at the top of the list are decoys to make you waste your pts because who gives a fuck if you receive 99999 dmg instead of 100000. Yseron - 90.29.177.252 22:29, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Leader boards[edit]

Seems like the real things indicated there is how often you connect and grind dailies. For once, it's a smart marketing move. Yseron - 90.15.189.60 10:28, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

2 cents gameplay[edit]

With WvW i had found a gold sink i was happy with. Then one guy with one treb destroyed our castles from the other side of the map. I will post the few good memories i had while playing WvW on the road to rank 15. I cancelled the massive gold donation i was intending to do to our world commanders because i dont like to spend gold on things that one single guy can destroy from the other side of the map while sleeping during night with an auto attack on his treb.

GW2 crashes[edit]

I thought these days were gone but gw2 crashed just as 2 zergs met. We were about to retake a critical target... I will now go watch a movie wich, hopefully, wont crash just at the epic moment. Yseron - 92.157.127.224 22:12, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

A weekend to remember[edit]

I did get over 400 badges in 2 days, i will post some of the moments i had the reflex to capture later cause i have to get some sleep. Yseron - 90.14.97.100 01:41, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Deadly disconnects[edit]

We were pushing back a small zerg, we got disconnected. When we reconnected, the door of SM castle was broken, we reconnected just in time to avoid losing the castle and repaired the door like mad wich stoped the flux of invaders and stoped their attack. Yseron - 90.15.186.143 00:17, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

For some time now people doing stupid actions like runing against a wall while facing it have been spoted doing this for more than 10 minutes. Yseron - 90.15.186.143 00:20, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Serial Crasher[edit]

GW client release build have never been so unstable. I did get a second crash while defending SM castle, but this time it was more ennoying because i did not picked up the 30 bags that were near the mortar i was handling. Yseron - 90.15.52.100 17:08, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Game Design[edit]

In WvW the most poulated world win. Simple as that. After a lot of deconnections and skills that wouldnt activate (talk about something new...) as soon as the opposite world bloat the screen i came with the conclusion that it would be foolish to hope that anything else than numbers matter in WvW. I had my badges, took everything i had to take, no regrets. Yseron - 90.15.52.100 20:42, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

After a siege that lasted over 3 hours they took SM castle. We took it back immediatly after a 2 hours long siege wich was exhausting: 80% focused on gw engine bugs (if i go there maybe skills will activate, if i go there maybe the "build" option will finally show up, if i orient the camera in this direction maybe the fps will be high enough for the attack to hit its intended nb of time instead of just once, etc..) and 20% focused on the assault itself. I wanted to leave with SM castle being ours. Done. Screenies later. Yseron - 90.15.52.100 01:59, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Trying another profession[edit]

This video convinced me that the perma stealth ability (90% of the comments are: "i stealth") of the thief will be a great thing to toy with. Hence my next character will be a thief. Yseron - 80.11.87.230 14:36, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Today we spoted a strange assassin that is able to show himself only 1 second and remain invisible the rest of the time. We thought that after a moment he would somhow not be able to continue but we played chasing him and he was able to continue for 10 minutes. This profession becomes more and more interesting. Yseron - 90.29.182.53 23:07, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

WvW and magic find[edit]

I verified that i got 0% magic find and yet another named exotic droped today for me in WvW. Bug ? An interesting one if it is ;) Yseron - 90.29.182.53 23:08, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Artistic behaviors[edit]

A siege weapon's dark power bar wich is difficult to see on most occasion because of the terrain... I tried to figure out how i could ask the artists at anet how it ended this way, trying hard not to include any rude, offensive or bold terms in my question, wich gave:...."why ?". Yseron - 90.29.182.53 23:16, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Dear artist, make the fuc..g bar fu..ng visible. There is a moment for being artistic, and there is a moment for doing hud assets. I swear the world would not have fell apart if you had just put even a basic, simple, visible white rectangle as a background for this bar. Yseron - Serge Yseron 23:33, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

A welcomed update[edit]

Overall the last big update is welcomed, there are however still some bugs and aspects of the game that bother me given the difficulty to reach some stats that, like in gw1, will never be explained by anet in a usefull way, wich defeat the purpose of being able to choose to invest in them.

Yesterday i decided to fight some lvl80 critters in WvW naked without wearing an armor, then noted the difference with regard to damages received/dealed. It doesnt do a dam thing to have 3600 armor or only 2300. Overall and at best, i take only 400 less dmg for a difference of 1300 armor. The difference for having 3600 power instead of 2300 is even less noticeable. Hell at one point i reached 4000 power and dealt only 900 dmg instead of 800. What's the point ?

As i suspected it, the real thing is critical damages. It seems to be the single most deciding factor for increasing damages in a meaningfull way. In gw1 they waited for the game to be almost dead before informing players that investing pts above 14/15 was doing little to improve your stats. Will they do the same with gw2, waitigng for us to have invested tons of gold on gear in vain ? Will we have again to get usefull informations by trying to get as close as possible from players that got involved in testing the game for the devs ? For me descriptions that just state: "it reduces damages" is like telling to someone who is searching his path: "it's not in this general direction". Because it can be a 0.5% reduction or a 20% reduction against fluffy damages only for what we know.

I will pass on stupid bugs that make you die like the level up that interrupt your skills activations in the middle of a battle, or the infinite fall loop when jumping from too high if you dont press a direction, the great sword charge skill that consistently miss even static targets etc, because i get angry each time i think of a all of this. Yseron - 90.15.51.247 10:08, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

I have begun once again the search for informations that come from the devs in order to understand what was their intend with the attributes. For this first search i stumbled across a page with a note of Izzy regarding traits: Izzy Cartwright, Guild Wars 2 game designer, gives a great explanation of how a player can make attribute choices which complement their playing style..."A Guardian could favor raw Power so his Orb of Light does more damage, or he could go higher in Precision and use a trait that causes burning with every critical hit. Going this second route, the Guardian could also wield a weapon that caused a short cripple with critical strikes. Now, with a high enough chance for critical hits, his Orb of Light will often snare his target, setting up a following attack, and apply burning, making up for the lower raw damage."

The real usefullness of armor is confirmed in this page: zero.

Twilight Zone[edit]

This evening we experienced 2 strange things for the greatest pleasure of everyone in WvW. First we spoted some zealots of the shiverpeaks, then they tweaked the server speed and we were moving/attacking twice as fast than normal. It was a good day to play ! Yseron - 90.29.49.122:50968 03:54, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

A video that should have appeared sooner[edit]

After looking this video of Izzy explaining WvW from the point of view of the devs a lot of stuff suddenly make sens. The fact that he retreats when i also retreat in some situations, along with other reactions, reassure me. I am now at peace with with my playstyle, because this video help to understand what you are expected to be able to do, and what risks are best left behind, in fact we have a more lot than i thought in common. My grief regarding some professions was just coming from the fact that i wasnt sure of when i was acting cowardly because i didnt know what was intended and what was not. Just one more thing: he Izzyly tend to run away from a single thief :) (and i never have a coordinated team, nor have i a voicechat) Serge Yseron (talk) 12:09, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

SM castle double teamed[edit]

We resisted a double assault on stone myst castle during 3 hours, at wich point the two opposite factions stoped. I wont be able to sleep for days if i cant hear the sounds of siege weapons or see the commanders yelling in the console chat. Yseron - 90.15.59.137 00:26, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Arenanet asking for feedback on their video introducing the consortium[edit]

The general feeling i got about this is that either they lack the means to carry their idea, or they are too shy about how they carry it. Southsun cove is a small island, and pretty much the only place where the consortium is present. An easy and interesting way to really make the consortium appear as a black-lion competitor wanabe would be to have consortium trading posts whith cheaper products but, for exemple, a 25% chance to get your recycling kit destroyed on use, things like that. But as i said they do not seem ready to really carry on this consortium thing that stick to a single mini island. Hell, competitors are usually the first to brag eveywhere that they exist. What makes them look like mafia is that instead they are discreet. Yseron - 90.14.96.171 14:28, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

WvW Updates[edit]

The Northern Sheaverpeaks server paid the price for the folly of a system that pick servers without considering the server populations. The [Zos] have been eradicated by the Dark Haven who seem to be able to outman every one every where every time. NS is slowly recovering. We tried to show them that we would agree to make an alliance with them in order to fight 1vs3 instead of 1vs8 but the impossibility to comunicate with them and the lack of support for alliances in anet system ended the thing before it started. Yseron - 90.15.191.57 19:55, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

WvW reset[edit]

Dark Haven tried to capture our main keep before the reset. But we are not the Northern Shiverpeak. Yseron - 90.15.59.26 01:18, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Hint: each world's keep have a unique feature. For the blue one guess what it is... (i can safely disclose this tip since i'm the one who came with the idea for our world)

Concerning the warrior's great sword whilwind attack[edit]

Yep, it still bring you sometimes in the opposite direction chosen under some circumstances. So for those of you who wondered if i had suicidal tendencies the answer is i didnt code this - Serge Yseron (talk) 01:37, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

PS: this attack could do with a dead-zone so that it doesnt flip around if you move your mouse 1mm around your character. But who am i to say such things, after all... Serge Yseron (talk) 01:40, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

I got the vague feeling that if every anet employee think that something is a success based on how it match what they wanted instead of what it gives we are going to wait a loooong time before any subjective preference is trhown out of this game. Yseron - 90.15.60.86 21:29, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
We have four times the score of the two other worlds... Yseron - 90.15.62.238 16:27, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Exploits[edit]

A recent wave of reports concerning strange players in WvW performing unusual moves or using cross professions skills (like Captain Hack) gave me an idea. I typed "gw2 exploits" in google and guess what... People run in the game with 33% permanent speed boosts, things like that... You cant stop progress. Yseron - 90.29.180.38 23:37, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Naive worlds[edit]

Every one look at each other world's forums but Fergusson'sCrossing is the only one... not clever enough, to expose directly its tactics for all to see: here.
