  1. They've been told to be playing this event WB event. Literally a 4000% increase in dev contact this week, people been spazzing across discords.
  2. This is a highly valid point that makes me feel good about my life. I agree this is probably an unintended consequence which evidently impacts on individuals but am unsure that many people have been offended to warrant a fix. I'm sorry you found the banker inappropriate....lmao
  3. Minion rework into valid power build seems logical, I would quite like managing health to summon more minions, they could balance this by putting a dps cap on individual minions. It would be really cool having to micromanage those kittens through raid mechanics and to have a valid power build.
  4. There are lots with them that barely log in anymore ;-; Good luck bud, hope you find what you're looking for :)
  5. Just try to ignore it I guess. There are a lot more liquid infusions around than people realise which do pass hands quite commonly. I have acquired 3 queen bees this year and 11 permafrost Dyes however, like most players who do this my goal is not trying to make money long term. It just makes sense to buy these items given the drop rate and proportion of players that have them who are largely inactive. Its pretty much a wealth thing, if you know what to do with your money you never won't be able to afford something you want.
  6. Unless you're theorising that this macro enabled him to skip animations (which it doesn't) then it's logical to assume that a slight amount of lag made it look like all the skills went off at once?
  7. You saw barely an improvement because the i5 4460 and i7 4790S are the same (both released for 2014). The marginal improvement you saw was due to slight turbo clock speed difference. Both the i5 and i7 have a base of 3.2 but the i5 turbos to 3.4 and the i7 goes to 4.0 Other than that, the other differences are also marginal for games, 6mb cache vs 8mb, and hyper-threading which doesn't improve fps for 99% of games, and can sometimes cause worse performance (higher temperature and some games randomly using HT instead of cores). This is why the unlocked i5s were recommended for gamers over an i7 due to both being quad cores for so long, and when you overclocked an i5 it would generally be equal to the i7, and sometimes better as gamers don't need hyper threading. You were better offer buying an unlocked i5 with a better cooler and overclocking it, or saving the money to put toward a new motherboard, ddr4 memory and a more recent i3/i5. To get the highest fps for GW2, you don't buy older i7s, you just get a newer i7, and if someone can't afford that, and don't need high core counts, an unlocked i3/i5 is the best option. Current i3s are quad cores just as older i7s were, but come with better clock speeds, in additions to all the improvements to single core performance over the last several years. Any testing you've done is flawed, as I have a 6700k and an 8700k next to each other, and even between those two there's enough of a performance difference for GW2 (and every other game), let alone comparing the 8700k to a 950. I'm not sure what you've done, but with the 8700k I experience zero stuttering, and I don't drop to 20 fps during metas, or wvw. I even have the game running Supersample, reflections off, character limits Medium, everything maxed, and Vsync off (as Vsync causes random fps issues). I even often times have multiple games running at a time while GW2 is up, and two instances of an Android emulator. FPS isn't just about the specs either, as software can have major impacts. Poor drivers, and no, not just gpu drivers, but anything related to Intel, Microsoft, storage, etc can cause stuttering or performance degradation. Early on I had issues with this desktops for games, lower fps than the 6700k, but I eventually found the cause to be a random Intel driver from a Windows update thanks to it causing a BSoD eventually. Thermals also play a big factor, cpus/gpus need proper cooling and air flow, as well as being cleaned. Not everyone suggests spending 3,000$ getting the new i9 and pairing it with a 2080ti, while it gets the best fps possible for gw2, there's severe diminishing returns per dollar spent beyond a certain point, which is why I always suggest the unlocked i3/5 depending on budget and learning to do light overclocking. You're just wrong but. Like you couldn't be more wrong and I don't think there is a way to explain it that would make sense to you :3 neither of my last two pcs had any aircoooled components (I guess some parts on the mobo inherently). There isn't a writeup for gw2 specifically but this is known for dx9 and there are writeups addressing that. the i7 950 is BiS for this game. Hence older Mobos are inherently BiS (can run the i7 950) this is fact for any server based dx9 game.
  8. It wont drop because we buy everything under and hold it. That's why it's been rising for a month. Then hopefully sell in a spree before buyable on gem store announcement/shrug. The legendary market is worse so just deal.
  9. Well said. The game i currently play, vets have to literally hunt noobs and take them around in instanced content, with strict rules preventing abuse, cus they get something for doing, something vets need e.g no longer get reward if 'noob' has 3 full clear in instance./boss kills. Its definitely something to come back to/join a game and know that the lfg system will reward you with kind knowledgeable players which quickly aid with all content, making no dungeon hard to group. What makes me really sad is that there are 3 guilds in gw2 with a custom lfg system for raid and dungeon speed clears that is quite quick and not accessible by 98% of the community. I'm not even talking about the raid training discords... they're a workable band aid.... I guess....
  10. WAY TLDR but still if it hasn't been said; the game really needs some form of penultimate reward for commanding metas and teaching raids. Currently there is little/no motivator to do so. The results of not having a system that rewards players willing to coach new players in a game designed to be noob friendly above all else are extremely noticeable. They include 1. Constant complaints from Anets 'target audience' surrounding raid accessibility 2. Clear ratios of hard content get lower and lower as about half the (competent) community goes back to a different MMO(its Japanese take a guess) 3-4 weeks after new content drops 3. Elitism to the point where most (competent) players no longer engage with any of the games LFG or chat systems, instead choosing to progress and find guilds/groups/statics through raid/endgame training discords.I won't suggest a solution as per the user agreement/code of conduct :(
