The Lunar New Year patch contained some very basic prep work for the next expansion. So what actually makes a expansion 🤔

the biggest flaw with the community is our shitpost game is severely lacking

Lucinellia,
@Lucinellia@mstdn.games avatar

@pixel I've realised what the problem is. All the shit posting seems to happen in the Thief channel on Help Desk

@Lucinellia shit i think you're on to something

Happy Lunar New Year! Wanted to do something small to celebrate - no requirements, just check the screenshot and it's open to whoever claims them first. 400 each (800 total).

I wish you luck and happiness during the Year of the Dragon!

officially have logs on every fight this patch in

need to get logs for the easier CMs but, I'm really pleased with my performance. I'm hoping I can go out as the #1 willbender when pistol comes out and i eventually have to relearn the spec, chasing mastery on it has been such a fun adventure for me :)

Lucinellia,
@Lucinellia@mstdn.games avatar

@pixel Yeah I don't think pistols will see much of a change either. I think thief axe will just get up and nerfed, necro swords slightly buffed and rev scepter probably changed to be worse with allied targeting.

The new weapons look cool enough, but I am more interested in what comes next tbh. I'd love selectable weapon skills that we could change in and out between fights.

pixel,
@pixel@urusai.social avatar

@Lucinellia that could be kinda neat. My guess is we'll get a new set of util/heal/elite skills and potentially a new traitline with the new expansion, but we'll see

Also I forgot but I def think they're gonna make changes to engi sb, they have to LMAO that weapon seemed so anemic

Hey, any players on the fediverse into data science and interested in helping me with a little (as in specific, not little as in "not a lot of data to parse") project?

pixel,
@pixel@urusai.social avatar

@S_H_K @neatchee Yes to all :)

There's another site, https://gw2wingman.nevermindcreations.de/stats that posts logs on every fight. I'm not sure how easy it would be to scrape logs and determine "burst" windows mathematically, but this site has a ton of logs for a ton of encounters that you can use to model against, instead of the benchmark logs on snowcrows.

multiboxing hurts legitimate players. This needs to stop.

I ran Dragon's End today. Kicked these people when they joined, before we got a map to play on. They were not able to join our instance via squad.

Within about two minutes, a map queue formed. These people running 5-6 accounts EACH maxed out the map's player limit of 60, and made it so legitimate players could not join and have fun. They waited in queue for an HOUR.

Seven people could not join our fresh map and have fun.

If you happen to still have a Twitter account, I would very much appreciate any help boosting this post. Decided to bring it up over there too and the discussion is gaining traction.

More eyeballs means more chance of this problem actually getting fixed.

Update: this incident went a little viral? Teapot boosted this on Twitter and did a stream where he tried to find leeches on EU. Glad to see the issue get more visibility.

I also got a few other commanders reaching out to offer suggestions on ways to avoid leeches while we wait for ArenaNet to figure their shit out, which was GREATLY appreciated. We ran DE today and had zero leeches.

This isn't over yet, but at least ingame it's at least playable.

I will never shut up about willbender

unfortunately, it's the only reason I still have a reddit account, but if anyone wants to read my thoughts on how today's Radiant Fire change affects willbender, here ya go <3

@Lucinellia thank you for sharing!!

I'm really inspired by people like you that communicate/advocate for your spec so much (doubly so bc i also adore specter lol) so im glad I've found a way to contribute for mine :)

My Wizard's Vault bugged out and showed the main account page instead.. so after a bit of clicking around I managed to play Inventory Manager inside

@scy@chaos.social avatar

@that_shaman I wonder … you didn’t, by any chance, have a look at the HTTP headers the Wizard’s Vault is sending to the server? Because I’d somewhat expect it to send some kind of authentication token so that the server can identify which account is making the request.

Not that I think that one would actually be able to do something then with such a token¹, but it’d be interesting nevertheless.

¹ not if the system is well designed, at least. If it isn’t … oh dear.

that_shaman,
@that_shaman@mstdn.social avatar

@scy all of the web based parts use generic token authorization (just like the site in a browser does). They most likely have quite a bit of anti tampering in place and a lot of server interaction is still done by the game client itself by calling custom functions using the coui:// protocol
