A risky challenge but a success[edit]

My most sincere congratulations because every thing, begining with the characters themselves, could have been messed up with this modern interpretation. Yseron - 90.15.191.142 00:10, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Strength in number[edit]

With a few well placed arrow carts i saved SM castle 2 times today, forcing Sorrow Furnace to use a well known last ressort tactic for worlds which can afford it: get as much as people as you can and zerg lag way straight to the heart of SM castle (we were already outmaned before that anyway). So we effectively repelled no less than 6 attempts today. Since 2 players did understood what was going on in the end i will post the placements of the arrow carts here so that they cant be the only other ones to mimic it. Yseron - 90.15.60.145 00:37, 17 June 2013 (UTC)


Only two players noticed me and attempted to destroy the AC on the final assault of the day, a mate told me that the placement for these ACs (one for each door, 3 total) was stupid. Those Acs repelled 2 major assaults (read, all siege weapons were destroyed below, except my AC above). In the final assault, if you want to estimate their number just know that i did get 50 bags in less than one minute. Players understand very well that Arenanet cannot control population size, in fact it is in their interest that we advertise for WvW in order to even worlds populations so that more people buy the game.

Learning curves[edit]

This evening i did teach Sorrow Furnace how to defend their keep against assaulters. They were the assaulters. Yseron - 90.15.186.87 23:16, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Disconnections[edit]

The game is currently disconnecting randomly in WvW. Carefull... Yseron - 90.15.48.82 22:30, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

We finally found out what it is, as soon as the SF and DR zergs are both on screen, GW2 resign. Yseron - 90.15.48.82 22:50, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
Impossible to play, i keep being disconnected (it gives free kills to enemies by the way, anet does not like to fail only just a little). I dont know what is going on this evening but if it keeps going tomorow i better start playing something that have a game engine actually made for it. Yseron - 90.29.176.31 23:14, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

SM castle[edit]

We held SM castle for the whole day against DR (wich have 6 or 7 anet players) and FC. When i left, SM castle was still ours. Yseron - 90.14.99.229 01:00, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Ooooh i'm afraid i wasnt being disconnected every 2 minutes this time, anet...:)

TCR TCR TCR TCR TCR TCR[edit]

The same with only the orange godess and without the TCR please, thank you. Come one baby ! Yseron - 90.15.187.4 18:41, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

The June 25th Update[edit]

Hilarious. Warriors now deal less damage, even with more than 4000 pts in power/attack, than with a bow. Looking at them trying to hit things while i'm using siege weapons (90% of my play time in WvW) have becomed my favorite sport. Go go go Izzy, i will even pay you if you add an extra 5% damage reduction ! Yseron - 90.15.63.60 21:30, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

YES ![edit]

YES ! Yes ! I found the episodes of season 2 ! HERE ! After me, Watson !Yseron - 90.29.180.230 20:33, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

GW2 as an e-sport ?[edit]

A team based sport requires dedicated teams of coordinated players who can communicate during a match. It is hence selective by nature, and thus restrictive in term of population. Once anet integrate this concept (with experience, you learn to know that the more obvious things are often the most overlooked or denied ones), they will be able to take decisions. Who am i to judge ? Just a guy humbly admitting he dont knows everything, but when he sees something that dont look like flower, does not smell like a flower, then think there is a good chance it's not a flower. Yseron - 90.14.101.111 22:29, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

Ellen DeGeneres[edit]

I'm always happy when i discover interesting people who have this ability to talk about all the little things that dont get our life easier (wich only usually reflect bad engineering made by new kids one the block who "got ideas", or people who think that because they work in a renowned company everything that comes out of their ass is gold). Enough talking, here she is. Yseron - 90.14.101.111 22:41, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

Dont worry, we know[edit]

You cant help it...

Serge Yseron (talk) 12:06, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Upon a 30 secs testing it appears that the ingame tooltip is wrong, and that the game sometimes grant something else than 150 at lvl 80, it depends on the weather or the age of the captain, something like that. Yseron - 90.14.100.102 11:50, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Joke[edit]

Bad balancing is, for exemple, the idea that if you give 10 times more strength to a lion to compensate for his lack of rifle when facing men, he will have an equal chance to get to the top of the food chain. Stronger animals are cooked daily in restaurants. Yseron - 90.14.100.102 11:55, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

A badass site for teenagers who dont want to die of ignorance[edit]

Here. The journalists are a little rock'nroll but they got unprecedented accurate infos, wich is the trademark of efficient people. Yseron - 90.15.179.238 18:06, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

After reading an article about the wanderings of the press anouncing someone's death by mistake, then announcing the next day his "remarkable recovery" i cant help but think that it can only become more interesting with "the internet". Yseron - 90.15.179.238 18:37, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
If there is anything i should learn from this it's that maybe good people accept the foolishness of the masses, while those who resigned exploit it. Yseron - 90.15.179.238 20:20, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Phantasms[edit]

Would be some lovely workplaces for video game studios wouldnt it ? Yseron - 90.15.179.238 21:08, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

By the way i already visited the neighborhood of arennanet offices. Thanks google map. Yseron - 90.15.179.238 21:10, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Movies[edit]

I usually dont recommend that much any movie because chances are that people usually think "who's that god dam prick who think he knows what i like", and they are absolutely right to think it. That's what make situations where everyone like the same movie so awesome. So let just say that if, this weekend, for exemple, you dont know what to do and you feel like watching something i might have a few ideas (only 2 in fact):

1) I dig it heavy
2) C'mon jackasss, bring on the creepy

Modern bandits[edit]

Veolia is a cool company that is now in charge of providing us water instead of the governement. They are so cool that nobody like them and here is an exemple of why: you can go on their site to declare online your comsumption. After a moment, you realise that the message "service unavailable" means that in fact, you must check the box that allow them to bind your contract with this online profile and use your personnal informations for commercial purposes, no less. Then when you proceed to declare your consumption you realize that only one service works: the one for paying online. I am growing a money reserve to pay a hitman in order to spank the responsible for half an hour. Yseron - 90.14.99.100 17:36, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

Target selection[edit]

Today at work i did get the occasion to do a game's target aquisition and as i suspected it, it was trivial. Wich now make me wonder even more about gw2's one... Yseron - 90.15.183.51 19:22, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

PS: i deactivated every gw option related to target aquisition some months ago, so just to be fair, maybe they corrected it since. If not, dont tell me anything, and let's pretend we live in a perfect world. Yseron - 90.15.183.51 19:37, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Laurels and hardy[edit]

I thought that by retro-active they meant that we would get the laurels we were meant to get all at once, so that, you know, it would compensate for the laurels i wasted on a piece of equipment i will never be able to wear (i destroyed it by now since you cant even salvage it). Then i remembered i was playing gw... By the way, if they could stop thinking that everyone care so much for a ton of crap like resurection orbs and whatnot it would spare me the time to enter the name of each and every object i want to wipe from my inventory for one hour. Back in the 80s people invented something called "options" in video games, if i remember. I did hesitate to use this joke with the right click interaction too but i shouldnt have, given the time it took them to think of it. Yseron - 90.15.183.51 19:30, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

It's your fault you didn't look up an obscure article on the wiki about what "Unique" means. ArenaNet even has the word in the tooltip.--Relyk ~ talk < 21:00, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
So true. Yseron - 90.15.183.51 21:44, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

World transfers[edit]

I wanted to transfer to a world server whith a lower population, typically, one of those servers that always complain about not having enough people for WvW. The first thing i see is a nice window that ask me to pay 20 golds (1000 gems) to do so. One day anet will think. We will be dead by then. Yseron - 90.15.56.23 18:24, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Guesting does not work, at best it says Unknown Borderlands on the gate screen but nothing changes althought the character select screen says i'm in guesting mode. I will play another time. Yseron - 90.15.56.23 19:06, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
There is no other solution for me than to use 3% of my reserves as explained here, apparently. Yseron - 90.15.57.121 09:13, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

Traits that work but not because maybe....[edit]

For once i tried the warrior trait that cleanse you from one condition for each empty adrenaline bar on hit. Well, you know what you can expect from anet on this side of things... you gain adrenaline on hit, but that's all. Yseron - 90.14.98.248 18:37, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Dont forget to increase the price for refunding trait pts, because you know, you want players to experiment traits that dont work. Yseron - 90.14.98.248 18:43, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
If you're talking about Cleansing Ire it looks like you only clear conditions when you spend adrenaline/use a burst skill. As I don't have a warrior, I can't test it.... but yeah, the description is a bit confusing. --JonTheMon (talk) 18:47, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
(Edit conflict) You're referring to Cleansing Ire. It removes conditions when you spend adrenaline (i.e. when you use your burst skill), not on every hit. —Dr Ishmael User Dr ishmael Diablo the chicken.png 18:48, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

ArenaNet's latest anouncement[edit]

Nothing to say. It's cool. Yseron - 90.15.177.17 19:49, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Sorry anet ;)[edit]

I loged in with SM and our land being ours, i left with SM our land still being ours.

DR, wich have some anet players, and IOJ double teamed us the whole day. We passed the test. But you, DR, can you pass it ?... ;)

Ca va pas mieux les gars ?!!![edit]

The latest anet bright idea was to send me an email to notify me that my account will be shut down or partially limited because of suspicious transaction or abnormal login (if i need to do somehting that take more than 5 minutes i usually log out then log in back later, be it at work or at home).

Instead of bothering me with imaginary things they should instead fix bugs and constantly put real efforts into balancing the game around something else than people going all criticals.

Yes i'm heavily loaded, but that's because i buy only what i need. Why dont they go investigate players who cheat the hell out of this game, forcing Izzy to balance it around exploits instead of ennoying me.

The more it goes, the more i think that anet is plagued with strange staff at all levels of the company... Yseron - 90.15.59.3 12:40, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

I think i know what's going on, i recently discovered a legitimate way to use the trait that grant permanent 25% speed boost while getting overall better stats than when when i was focusing all my points elsewhere (it evolves around not using any rune at all -> it gets me 4012 power, 3750 armor, 28.000 health AND 25% speed boost). Since in WvW people rarely invest in warrior's Discipline, a bunch of guys must have noticed i was always ahead of them while not having any boon on me that boost movement speed and did hit the report system. Yseron - 90.15.59.3 12:52, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
Apparently it was a form of fishing as mentioned here. I did not follow the instructions in the mail but i wonder who i insulted on the phone... Yseron - 92.157.127.7 17:42, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Fun things to not try on your computers[edit]

Depending on how much you are up to date with your version of Windows7 you might play with this: make an empty .bat, launch it, and observe how the system is locked into starting an inifinite cascade of instances of your batch file. I prefer to say nothing about this... Yseron - 80.11.87.230 10:19, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Cancel[edit]

I think the button cancel of Visual Studio 10 is something around the "the most useless button in the universe": it wait for things to complete before halting. Either that or none of the threaded tasks it notify have ever been written with a cancel in mind. Yseron - 80.11.87.230 15:18, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

This morning i check the processus involved when canceling the compilation of a small project. The hang out is in microsoft compiler driver which allocate / deallocate memory like mad (200M0) for god knows what reason since everyone is waiting for it to finish whatever it is not doing. Yseron - 80.11.87.230 08:33, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

Server load[edit]

Disconnections made their return with the large servers populations of this week's match up. Yseron - 90.29.50.148 07:04, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

The Village Idiot[edit]

For a few days now i noticed that the tooltip that indicate how much damage you do with your weapon display a lower number than whan i wasnt above 4000 power without buf. Would it be that a village idiot at anet uses a modulo instead of a simple limit cap ? Yseron - 90.15.186.227 16:37, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Mistery solved: in WvW you deal different damages than in PvE. Yseron - 90.14.227.61 00:14, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
The bug that make you lose 100 armor on occasion also made its come back, nobody notice except those who are maniacal with their stats and often display the hero panel. And it have nothing to do with a consumable effect wearing out, or a trait. Yseron - 90.15.186.227 16:39, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

World Vs Lag[edit]

We repelled two times in a row assaults on SM castle (we are outnumbered since day one on reset) prying for each skill to activate because of the lag / lack of controls response when too many players participate. A game where you log in in order to pray that your skills will activate and that you wont be disconnected... Enough of this non sens. Yseron - 90.14.98.98 04:16, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
