    Boss Rush Workout - Day 4 - Retaliation

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 06:48 AM PDT

    Professor Courage Minimoose from the Asuran College of Statics here to issue your daily Boss Rush Workout routine. You have all been awesome in map chat and working out with me. I honestly haven't seen a single negative comment about this in map chat! All this wonderful feedback is keeping me super motivated to put out some great workouts. Keep an eye out for Pink Commanders and/or show your support by activating your Pink tag or wearing pink! If you'd like to join me today, yell at me because of today's workout, or ask questions feel free to contact at Nythious.3284.

    Yesterday's theme was "Stability" and you folks crushed it! Today is going to be tough but all you gotta do is keep fighting so that's why the theme is "Retaliation"! The Retaliation exercises will focus on explosive movements to get you back into the fight. You'll be testing your coordination while working your legs, chest, shoulders, back, and most importantly that awesome heart. Please scale these numbers to your fitness level, stay hydrated, and even if you don't do the workout make sure to get up and move around every hour.

    Easy options are designed for those with low mobility, just getting started in their exercise routines, or have an injury which restricts movement.

    1. Dragons - 10-20 Pop Ups
      1. Easy - Step Up
      2. Intermediate - Pop Up
      3. Hard - Pop Up and Fight
    2. Elementals - 10-20 Burpees (I've recruited my wife for Intermediate and above since I can't do Burpees due to feet. She's a personal trainer, former powerlifter, and crossfit beast who usually lifts more weight than I do on a daily basis. Thanks for helping me out boo! Elementals are Megadestroyer, Shadow Behemoth, Fire Elemental, etc?)
      1. Easy - Lil'Burp
      2. Intermediate - Up Down Burpees
      3. Hard - Belly Flop Burpees
      4. Advanced - Don't Hate Me Burpees
    3. Other - 50-100 Punches
      1. Easy - Stand Still Punches
      2. Intermediate - Orthodox & Southpaw Punches
      3. Hard - Punch Punch Uppercut Uppercut Switch!
    4. If multiple boss encounters without a break stack 5 (Popups, Burpees), 10 punches, and then add 5 reps/10 punches for current boss type. (e.g. Admiral+Karka and waiting in Maelstrom do 10 Pop Ups, 15 Burpees, and 20 punches)
    5. Bonus Shoulder Press Kitty Kisses

    If you ever get knocked down we'll be here to help get you back on your feet. We need you back in the fight!

    Statistically yours,

    Professor Minimoose

    [Art] My little mesmer Morrphi~

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 05:30 AM PDT

    After 8 years, I finally did it.

    Posted: 21 Aug 2020 06:09 PM PDT

    I finally just crafted my first legendary. :-D

    Howler isn't necessarily the flashiest or the most broadly useful choice, but since the first time I saw it back in 2012 or 2013 I've wanted one.

    It's kind of crazy to think about how much time this represents- I'm a casual and not a whale, so thinking back on world completion, gift of battle, deadly blooms, and an ungodly pile of mats, then discovering at the last minute that I had to get 400 LW for the wolf statue (because that makes perfect sense...) and grinding that 0-400 just to finally get the last couple of steps done.

    ...now if only the gfx would actually show up! >_<

    (Forgive the fluff, but I don't really know anyone else who still plays.)

    Would it be possible to get emotes that require pairs (like handshakes, hugs, etc.)?

    Posted: 21 Aug 2020 09:55 AM PDT

    One of the simple pleasures I get in MMOs is playing around with their emotes. Guild Wars 1 and 2 both have a lot of fun emotes (even some unlockable ones!) and I would love to see more group oriented emotes become available. Emotes that come to mind are:

    • handshake
    • hug
    • high five
    • kiss
    • fist bump

    It could work like this:

    1. Player 1 activates a pair emote ("/hug" or activates a novelty) and goes into a stance (like having their arms wide open if they are going for a hug) or an icon corresponding to the emote appears above their head
    2. Player 1 can then invite people to join them (similar to the How to Dance books)
      1. A message in chat could appear saying "Player 1 invites Player 2 to hug/kiss/high five"
    3. Player 2 accepts the invite
    4. Player 1 and Player 2 perform the emote together (Player 2's model is moved into a position near Player 1 so that the emote can be performed properly)
      1. A message in chat could appear saying "Player 1 and Player 2 hug/kiss/high five"

    I think this would be a fun addition into the game and add a lot of character. I would definitely pay money for something like this. What are your thoughts?

    vkBasalt, Reshade for Linux (Vulkan)

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 08:45 AM PDT

    For those who might be interested in using Reshade on Linux, vkBasalt is an amazing program that can help!

    DEFAULT WITH VKBASALT
    Salma District Salma District
    Transcendent Bay Transcendent Bay
    Night Lights Night Lights

    vkBasalt works on anything using Vulkan, including the usage of DXVK.

    You can use Reshade shaders in vkBasalt. You can also use other shaders such as qUINT.

    Downside is that vkBasalt is still new, so it doesn't have the conveniences of Reshade. You have to exit game and relaunch game after you edit the vkBasalt.conf to see changes. There is an opened issue to try to be able to reload config while in game. Sometimes I just boot into Windows and play with the Reshade settings on GW2, then copy the configs over to vkBasalt.

    Also, there is no depth of field access currently, so you cannot use DoF shaders.


    For those who are interested in my config:

    vkBasalt.conf

    Please remember to change the /path/to/ in the file.

    Solo life sucks

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 04:07 AM PDT

    Hello you beautiful people, I'm new to the game, I bought the two expansions a year ago, started with ranger till lv80, train farmed HP for soulbeast, farmed silverwastes for a bit of gold and then quit for personal reasons.
    Now I'm back, bought S3 and S4, and I'm about to go into the Heart of Thorns story, but I am tired of playing solo, so I thought I'd look for some friends. If you're new or old player going leveling up a new toon and want some company, add me ( hambounaim.5937 ). I'm on EU and my timezone is GMT+1 ( I can speak French as well).

    PoF Rework ??

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 09:07 AM PDT

    HI,
    I just came back on gw2 after ... 2 years i think, i stopped playin this when PoF release...

    And WOW !! PoF is dead... litterally dead ... after some google research i find out a lot of people think the loot system is bad and HoT is better for this ... nobody will play in some map when there's litterally no loot.

    I was wondering .... do you think we should forget PoF or Anet should rework it completely to make it back alive ...

    I am trying to some of the thing on this but since its empty a lot of thing to do its hard ...

    (sorry im not a native english speaker.. tried my best)

    I just discovered a weird jackal glitch...

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 09:02 AM PDT

    I don't have footage of it yet but as soon I downloaded a recording programm you will get to see it (most likely tomorrow). This post is just to check if it has been discovered before. It makes you, not sit on your jackal while still having his abilities and also some other interesting stuff happens but you will see it tomorrow. Has anyone seen this glitch before?

    Best way to make friends (low level)

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 08:28 AM PDT

    I have tried joining a few guilds and such and trying to meet people but it seems like everyone is level 80 and doing their own thing. I have no intention to race to the top as fast as possible like most players, I'd rather take my time and explore the maps and experience the story (well, the lore) as I level all my characters at a time.

    Is there not much social community before you get to the highest levels? I might just not be looking in the right places. What are some good ways to meet people before all the special events that come with high level?

    ANET Kicking up the Boss Rush Difficulty...

    Buying path of fire from third party

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 07:55 AM PDT

    If I buy path of fire from a third party do I still get heart of thorns as well? Due to region pricing issues it's nearly 3x the cost from the official website compare to other retailers, but if I don't get heart of thorns as well it's not really worth it

    Are you looking for the perfect class? Look no further...

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 03:31 AM PDT

    ...the meta is in constantly changing, so if your not picking a class that YOU like due to "not viable in the top top tier of pvp at this particular stage of the game", you are really shooting yourself in the foot.

    Black Lion Keys are %30 off

    Posted: 21 Aug 2020 09:05 AM PDT

    As a side note, only gamble if you are okay with getting nothing you want at all. Do not think other people's rng stories about how they got 5 rare drops with 5 keys gonna apply to you.

    How to not bug out Ogre Wars Meta, Fields of Ruin - my take

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 06:32 AM PDT

    everyone has seen it, eveyone has been annoyed by it - Ogre Wars Meta being a pain in the a** because it wont progress. After many hours of carefully observing this... abomination i want to give my take on how to avoid this meta ending up in limbo state.

    i'm 99.999% sure the meta only gets hard stuck when you start it from Ebon Vanguard/Sapper's Delve side and everything points to an NPC called Captain Gregory. So what happens when Captain C***B**** ruins this whole meta chain - in the beginning of the meta you have to kill two Ogre bosses: Foulbear Weapon Master and Foulbear Master Trainer. Foulbear Weapon Master will spawn first and after you killed him the other boss will spawn BUT something else happens too. Captain Gregory and a few other NPCs are supposed to run into the center of the Ogre camp which is vital for the meta chain to continue! this is where the bug can happen. alot of times the NPC group is held up fighting mobs that spawned in their path and in the meantime players rofl-stomp the second ogre boss Foulbear Master Trainer. If the second ogre boss is slained before Captain Gregory is in the center of the ogre camp the whole meta will cease to work. This is where players have to hold back their urge to kill the second boss and make sure Captain Fancy Pants is where he is supposed to be.

    there is a similar situation with Maybri Shadowstalker on the charr/Bloodgorge Watch side but it seems there is some fix from anet that prevents her from not getting into the center of the camp. She can be in combat and holding up the meta but if you kill all the mobs around her she will teleport to where she is supposed to be. that doesnt work on the vanguard side. Captain Gregory will just stand where he is and never move again.

    hopefully people are going to read this. it requires a small amount of awareness to not get this meta stuck. i dont think anet will ever fix this so thats our only option. one thing i never found out is how the meta un-stucks on its own. it seems like the whole map has to restart or a new instance has to open - i dont know.

    tell me if this explanation is comprehensible and if i should add some screenshots or if everyone knows what i'm talking about. thanks for reading
