 * Madness! [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 05:22, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

New Project
I propose we publish a tiers list for the monsters of Guild Wars. Seeing as this is a huge number of monsters, maybe we could limit this to just special enemies like bosses. Tiers would be campaign-centered, so we'd have one for Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall, and Eye of the North. I know that I already did this with a poll (which had ~100? votes) but an official unofficial list would be fun too. (T/C) 05:27, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * That comes dangerously close to build wars, although levels and monster skills would also come into play... it's an interesting thought. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 05:32, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

If the self-block has to do with my promotion, if you think it helps we could consider this a 24-hour "trial run" and I get demoted again until the other Bureaucrats (PanSola was most reasoned in his opposition) are of a mind to promote me again.

respond to above sections
All:

I'm sorry for causing concern and, frankly, being emo. I /ragequit because I was extremely upset, disturbed, and disheartened. Auron has decideod that he has had enough of GuildWiki, and I know I have disappointed him. He disagreed strongly with Mendel's promotion, but I went against his advice anyway. His response was, "You have failed", to give a summary. Then he told me to demote later.

You all know that I have the highest regard and respect for Auron's opinions, and so this hurt me deeply. I mirror Auron's sentiments on many things, and I have often looked to him for advice on "leading" the wiki. So this sort of violent split was sudden, to say the least. I pretty much gave up and /resigned then, having lost hope and abandoned this place as a dead wiki for a dead game.

But I changed my mind. I'm not leaving. I can't leave. I can't let others get me down such. GuildWiki is my home...it is my family. You folks are the only friends I have these days. :) ... I'd fight to the end to keep this community together. I couldn't face the shame of disappointing LordBiro and Tanaric by giving up in such a way. Even if they are or are not watching, I am bound to honor their memory and the trust they placed in me, by passing along the bureaucracy to me.

Besides, like Pan points out. I'd be leaving you in a lurch. People still depend on me here. I am important and I am valued in the community. I can't just up and leave like that. That is just so...rude.

I'm not blind. I know that in truth, Guild Wars and GuildWiki are dying. You can't deny that. But that doesn't matter to me. "For those who I protect, I mustn't lose"..."I fight for my friends". "This attempt on my life has left me scarred, but I can assure you that my resolve has never been stronger."

I'm with you to the end. I promise this time.

 * For whom is this armor being crafted? --JonTheMon 21:44, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * My Warrior. I only need one piece - the leggings - because I'm O/C about having my armor sets match perfectly, and the Obsidian base color black is the only thing that matches with the Ancient Boots, and isn't an ugly skirt too. (Female Warrior) Using others, such as my current Templar, is strange because there is this long length of "chainmail" which covers the legs. Normally it ends to the boots, which have a grey base color, and so it looks fine...but Ancient is black and thus it clashes horribly. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 22:39, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Last time I saw a screen like that we found it was because the videocard was ever so slightly loose on it's connection to the motherboard. However, if your desktop is fine then that'll not be the case. Graphics problems :(. Ezekiel <font color=#AAA> [Talk]  07:48, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

 * If you recently moved your computer/experienced an earthquake/kicked it, Eze and Silver might be right. Or it could spontaneously pop loose (happened to my RAM once... O-o ). Other than that; for ~70 euros you can get a decent videocard, so, maybe it's time to say goodbye :P Oh, and pick ATI over NVidia :) --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  16:47, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Meh, I'm just fine with my NVIDIA, but that's just me. Anyway, yeah you should probably (de-static first) try to tighten up the video card inside. And if that doesn't work, your graphics card might be some freakish mutant like my ethernet card, which kinda broke, tried to reinstall a driver causing it to uninstall driver and not get another one, then turning my comp into a time bomb due to "major hardware changes" and being unable to access the internet, then later when trying to take it out, it magically fixed itself, and the driver reappears too! Best not to question these things... and just go with it... *shudder* --Gimmethegepgun 17:11, 4 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Re-seating the video card - not just wiggling it around in the slot, but removing it, cleaning the connectors with alcohol, and putting it back in - can often solve video glitches like this. Of course, it could be a more serious problem - possibly overheated and damaged, as mendel suggested before, or corrupted drivers.
 * To fix the drivers, first uninstall them normally and reboot, then use Driver Cleaner Pro (I've downloaded this and used it myself; follow the instruction in the readme) to make sure they're completely gone and reboot again before reinstalling the latest nVidia drivers.
 * I've never had a Quadro card, but I've used four different GeForce cards in our two computers over the past five years and never had a problem with them. &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 17:34, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I use GeForce too, but actually Brian (whom you know now) had that same problem a few weeks ago. He sent me a screenshot just like that, it was affecting his desktop. Ask him what he did. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 21:19, 4 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Huh...I haven't really done anything to this comp (it's a laptop) other than what I normally do. I carry it with me a lot, but it's always in its padded case etc. Do you think constantly putting it in Sleep mode instead of shutting down could be causing problems? It takes like 10 minutes to fully boot and I am impatient person.
 * Doctor: I'm nowhere near proficient enough to do any hardware tinkering, so I'd have to wait till I can go home for the holidays and my dad could do it for me (he does stuff like that all the time)...there is a Help Desk here on campus that can do repairs etc., but I need my laptop pretty much every day and I don't 100% trust them anyway. However I will try the driver fixes. I am fairly confident that it's the drivers and not the hardware itself, since all the bluescreens and error messages tell me how the driver failed.
 * Felix - OK, I'll remember that, thanks. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 22:56, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Oh yeah, I forgot it was a laptop. That'll make it more difficult to jigger with any hardware, and I'm somewhat wary of messing with laptop drivers as a general rule.  Luckily it'll still be under warranty, so if it turns out to be a hardware issue you can get it repaired for free (you just have to get by without a computer for a week or two >.>).  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 23:35, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

My laptop does it too, just worse than that. Only ever happens when I've been on my computer for too long without turning it off. It's not good for it to be on all the time (even in sleep mode). Try to remember to turn it off nightly (or at least semi-frequently). &mdash; Powersurge360  09:13, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The simplest explanations are often the best and I think you're right, since the laptop is hardly lacking in graphics power (sure it's not a good card, but not subpar for GW). I will try this and see what happens. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 11:09, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

IRC halp
Someone explain a few things to me:
 * What does "!" do when it's typed before a word?
 * Who is ChanServ?
 * Does the / slash commants in the helpfile on the GuildWiki:Irc page apply to any client?
 * So i herd you can send files over IRC. How does that work? GuildWiki IRC - bootlegger's paradise?

Thanks (T/C) 00:19, 5 November 2008 (UTC)


 * ChanServ is a network bot that handles channel services. You can generally do "/msg chanserv help" to find more about services it utilizes (depending on the client, "/chanserv help" works as a shortcut). -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 00:27, 5 November 2008 (UTC)


 * (edit conflict) "!" sends a command to chanserv. You can also do that privately, like you would message any other user.
 * See http://www.gamesurge.net/newuser/, down at the bottom. The iste has more details on Support/User Guides/Channel Services Guide.
 * /nick and /me work pretty much everywhere because they're old.
 * DCC send, if your firewall lets you. It's still one-on-one, so peer-to-peer file sharing networks are really better for bootleggers (but I've seen irc bots that send you warez upon request).
 * Ask more on irc. --◄mendel► 00:28, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

I would have got more, but I finally got so tired that I messed up and dropped SF. But hey, it's hard to repetitively press keys for three hours straight! Next time I'll remember to take a break. Nice part of the Chaos Planes is that it's so empty, you can just idle in peace there...go eat dinner or something. Anyway, some notes from my trip, because I know you're interested.
 * 1) Slow build is sloooooooow. Bladed Aatxes have +3 health regen and ~1200 HP; they're a real pain to kill with just Burning. Good thing you only need to kill like two big group of them for Clear the Chamber...
 * 2) On the other hand, this confirms that degen alone won't cause scatter.
 * 3) Burning Speed doesn't seem to affect Vengeful Aatxes, even though you can cause conditions to them with Traps for example.
 * 4) Mindblade Spectres have about 25% more Health than a Banished Dream Rider.
 * 5) Dead Collectors/Dead Threshers (can't tell them apart) have an increased attack range, something like a Flatbow.
 * 6) Dead Collectors/Threshers have less Health than Banished Dream Riders.
 * 7) Wailing Lords have a bit less Health than Banished Dream Riders.
 * 8) Unlike most caster enemies, Mindblade Spectres prefer to attack from about 80% of spellcasting range. They tend to bunch up like this, and by strafing you can further clump them so that they are all in range for Burning Speed.
 * 9) Burning Speed seems to have a "large adjacent" range, if you know what I mean.
 * 10) Similar to Aura of the Lich, each copy of Burning Speed is counted separately, and each will cause Burning when its duration would have ended.
 * 11) Charged Blackness chase for MILES. I aggroed a few when climbing the Twin Serpent Mountains, and they followed me all the way back to the Reaper of the Labyrinth.
 * 12) Even though farming in Hard Mode would give better drops, it probably can't be done, for the simple reason that monsters move faster and you could no longer outrun the Charged Blackness on the way to the Ecto Planes. They will kill you with Shock very easily.
 * 13) Adding some sort of direct damage skill would be mildly useful, but it would probably also cause scatter. Inferno perhaps.

 * You don't need to kill any aatxes, at all. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  13:37, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Point 10: if you're using a +enchant weapon, the burning on you ends before the enchant ends, which is when the burning on your enemies begins. It helps to keep from overlapping burning too much. And the build I use has Shadow Refuge and Flame Djinn's Haste in place of Frigid Armor and Feigned Neutrality. Granted, the armor from feigned would be good when crossing traps, but you get 10 pips of regen from shadow refuge. If you try it out, let me know what you think of it. --JonTheMon 13:45, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Burning speed should be fast enough to get you over the traps. Also, it helps to bring a pair of zealous daggers you can autoattack with when you're not doing anything else. Point 13 - not inferno, lava font. The enemies won't scatter, because when you get to the chaos planes, before aggroing anything, you let shadow form wear off and then recast it, and bring a vamp weapon to keep your health down. You abuse the part of monster AI that stops them from scattering when they're about to finish someone off :P You just have to be careful not to cast burning speed when frigid armor is down.  &not; Wizårdbõÿ777  ( talk ) 18:54, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Zealous scythe > zealous daggers. Huuuuuuge energy returns --JonTheMon 22:23, 5 November 2008 (UTC)


 * If I don't kill at least some Aatxes, they may come to attack the Reaper of the Labyrinth, and then I get kicked out of the UW. Which would be fail.
 * I am using a +enchant weapon, and I do what I can to not have the Burning overlap - wait like 1-2 seconds after the burning begins before recast. You can get off two Burning Speed if you have to cast Fire Attunement first, and three if it's already up. Casting more than that, you also suffer Burning because Frigid Armor isn't up; and because most foes are spellcasters, you don't get any natural regen, so you have to use Feigned Neutrality eventually. Long recharge is long...
 * The reason I have Feigned Neutrality is because of the annoying Charged Blackness. You can usually get by most of them, but sometimes it is just unavoidable that one or two will Shock + Whirlwind you, especially during times when you need to stop and recast Shadow Form (remember that Nature's Renewal is always on from Behemoths). Their Shock does about 100 damage, but with Feigned Neutrality it does like 30, and it's quickly healed. I've never had a problem with the traps; you can run over them with Burning Speed anyway. Anyway, with Shadow Refuge you would need to keep casting over and over again, which in the end is probably less energy efficient. I may try it though.
 * I have a Zealous Scythe of Enchanting which works much better than daggers against such big mobs :) In my experience, Lava Font eventually causes scatter, even in Normal Mode...I don't understand about abusing the AI. So you're saying that when you're low health, that overrides the scatter? Interesting. I guess I could try that. As long as I don't forget to swap for renewing SF... [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 22:24, 5 November 2008 (UTC)


 * What are you doing at the Reaper of the Lab, anyhow? O-o
 * "So you're saying that when you're low health, that overrides the scatter?" Tested and proven by observing Progger extensively in the UW back when he wanted a stack of ectos :P Stay ~10%, don't screw up SF and scatter is null and void. It's awesome :P --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  10:27, 7 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok, you know, it's really not my fault that there is no guidance anywhere about what I should be doing to farm ectos, other than the builds themselves. No one tells me "here's how to avoid scatter" (until after I encounter the problem), there is no page saying how you don't need to free the reaper before the doors to teh areas open (yes I am dense and directionally challenged), there is no up to date "best build" at PvX which works magic because they are fail like that, etc. I have been learning all this the hard way.
 * And it doesn't help that I only get 2-3 ecto per these hours long runs either, before I fudge it and die from not being a robot and missing SF. >.> [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 11:16, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Hypothetically
Could one run two copies of GW on the same computer at the same time?

I've done some research and it seems you can do it, but the method involves editing registry files and using a HEX editor on the GW.exe, and that seems kind of...dangerous...if not potentially ban-worthy...

Alternatively I am wondering how players with multiple accounts manage to move stuff between them without the use of a go-between friend or a second computer. It's not like I couldn't "borrow" a second one, but setting up a new copy of GW takes at least some hours, and considerable memory, etc. so I'd be asking a fairly considerable favor in that. I could wait till I can go home for the holidays, but I'm impatient. :\ (T/C) 09:37, 5 November 2008 (UTC)


 * You can just download the gw client on the second computer, then when it starts downloading, cancel it and copy your fully downloaded gw from the other computer over the new data file. <font face = "Matura MT Script Capitals">Silver Sunlight [[Image:SSunlight.jpg|19px]] 10:04, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * There's a program called GWx2 that allows you to multi-client. It's not against terms of service, Gaile Gray used to use it. (I use it too.) It has no real instructions though, so you kind of have to guess how to use it. Website anywho. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 21:46, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

I Like GWW
because there's always drama to keep it interesting. (Shard = fun.) I could read for days. I think we need to make our WikiDrama more accessible to the entertainment-minded. Cause we have like <5 "arbitration" requests, and stuff on RfA's is kinda limited. The Builds Wipe caused us to lose some of our most precious drama: the builds talkpages. I fondly remember the Starburst Warrior, as well as my own build, the Inspired Smiter. And so many more..."Dragon Swordsmen" series...Wammos and 55s...Meleemancers...Paragons with Spiteful Spirit... How passionate people were back in those days! I surely do miss it...not the damage it caused, of course, but for the life it brought to GuildWiki.

I'm not rehashing the same old topic of "lol wiki is dead", but you must admit that mass edits to armor galleries, or perhaps to fix capitalization due to GW:ULC, just isn't much fun. And certainly doesn't bring out the best intellectuals among us.
