I hope you got the guild tage as well ;D ... I have to confess though, that it took me long to see your talk page edit. Ɲ oɕʈɋɽɕɧ  21:26, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, i think i did. GP = Guildpact, right? &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 06:30, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * A pity that the name of my favorite baroness already was taken. =/ Ɲ oɕʈɋɽɕɧ  13:29, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Wait, there's a Guild named "Teysa Orzhov Scion"? O.o I know a bunch of Guild Wars characters named after a magic card, but a guild? Oh btw, while we're at it: You can sac those spirits best at midnight But you being quite the Johnny player i guess are aware of that. &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 21:37, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Usually, I am just a Mindbender and force her to be able to. Oh, and actually I meant I wanted a character with that name :< Ɲ oɕʈɋɽɕɧ  14:15, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * D'oh, i should actually have known you're refering to the character name...i regrettably couldn't call my Mesmer Meddling Mage either :C I normally don't like Mindbenderish cards, since they are dependant on combos and only rarely worth combining...all of them should be cantrips imo :/ While Darkest Hour on the other hand isn't that useful by itself either, it can synergize with more than only one card at the same time. (See that card comment there for instance, i wrote it a while back when i had too much time in my hands, lol) You see, i'm quite a Johnny-Spikeish mix, in case you ever heard of those player types. Otherwise take a look here, yet i could bet my canary bird you do know them ;) &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 15:14, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd like to do some more or less casual (depends on your play style) legacay rounds via Magic Work Station with you. say so, if interested. ;) Ɲ oɕʈɋɽɕɧ  01:29, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm certainly casual player, glad to see legacy (without a second "a" actually, just mentioning it right now since i know such reading errors are never noticed in general, i thought for years that one ability was called "cultimative upkeep" for example^^) is your prefered format, too. Most of the time i just design decks in that format without playing them and afterwards rework them completely when i finally print a deck in form of proxies and play with it against some friends once in a couple of months :P On the other hand i got never tired of Magic, and wasn't even bothered about new cards, rules or description changes. One exception being flavor in the reminder text, which is on a card that just recently got released yet (Statement about why i dislike this is already written down in the comments section) I never played via Magic Work Station yet, but building it up shouldn't be a problem i guess :) &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 18:33, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

 * please excuse the late reply, i was on field excursion and should possibly better have mentioned that. i never used skype, but we could of course use in-game chat if necessary. i'll still have to install the stuff, but as i said this should work without any further problems. btw, i noticed that Izzy artist before, actually even thought he'd have already drawn older magic cards besides these. Well, i guess Cartwright is not the only nicknamed Isaiah out there, huh?^^ &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 13:14, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
 * That option to contact was a bite in my neck. However, I might try to use TS, ICQ or maybe MSN. <font color="#C10000">Ɲ <font color="#000000">oɕʈɋɽɕɧ  00:58, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

to which cantact option are you exactly refering to? doesn't look like you're talking about ingame chat, since your problem stated on Gaile's site doesn't seem to be related to that. (although i get the bite-in-the-neck part when regarding the next edit where Wyn is talking about support tickets) anyways, icq should work, i remember you left your number on Yo's talk page someday, but i could also send you mine via wiki-mail, or vice versa. &mdash;Zerpha The Improver 19:01, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

 * although i guess it would have suited to CA to say so as well (we might ask him to ensure that this shared thought might indeed be right), it was Yo who said so. Moreover it was actually even NuclearVII who dropped this conception for the first time. &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 02:22, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

New Drop/Salvage Research Project
After noting that drop research has been almost non-existent since 2007 and quite often presented in different manners I have just begun a shiny new drop/salvage project and was hoping that I could maybe attain your assistance as one of the major contributors of this information (or at least your support or comments on my proposals). The project can be found Here

Many thanks in advance for your time. Dakota 02:44, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * i know my reply likely comes later then you wished it to be, and i have to say that although i'm currently not playing guild wars and therefore won't be able to contribute for your project, i fully support your idea and really appreciate your efforts so far regarding the project, it seems to be built up quite nicely, great job! :)
 * i gueses that you were adressing me since you noticed that i had the same urge to research this in some of my past contributions, likely in the "Drop research" talk section of various item articles. maybe you also noted it by checking the "Items dropped"-section of various creatures or by taking a look at my older templates and related rants which encouraged a more detailed tracking of item drops.
 * regarding the latter i could maybe provide some inspiration for your project when it comes to writing down the information on the articles - i'll try to write that down on the project talk. &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 15:47, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

-cough- userpage.
Devon lies beyond this portal! Take the word of one immortal!

I don't blame you if you don't get it. →← 20:09, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
 * well, after some Google research i can tell you that much: it's an excerpt from the lyrics "Inside the fire" from Disturbed, an apparently the song is dedicated to David Draiman's ex-girlfriend who committed suicide and indicates that he wants to be brought to death by the devil in order to be able to join her again. I still have problems finding the exact connection between this and my userpage, but so far i can tell that you apparently don't like it that much^^' &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 20:22, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I lol'd. Good assumption, but no. The reason I said that was cause there was an asuran portal image there. Very bad reference but still. →[ » Halogod User Halogod35 Sig.png  (talk)« ]← 21:40, 20 February 2010 (UTC)


 * I was quite disappointed with Indestructible. Believe and Ten Thousand Fists are still the best albums by Disturbed, but Disturbed itself isn't progressive enough for me to stand that band much. -- -Chaos?- (moo!) -- 22:27, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

 * uhm, does one have to be a big Disturbed fan in order to associate that asura portal with the unterworld? O-ô (from their songs i listened so far, i liked Inside the fire best.) &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 23:49, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Nobody said that. You need to be at least a moderate Disturbed fan to see the reference, though. -- -Chaos?- (moo!) -- 00:05, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
 * alright, then here was the problem. i couldn't call myself a fan, but i definitely like some of their songs (i especially started liking Inside the Fire, listened to that one about one dozen times today, lol) &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 17:52, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

The association is incredibly strong. -- -Chaos?- (moo!) -- 03:28, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * :D I'm actually surprised that's the case. My sobriquet was initially intended to express that - the person's process of improvement. But i think it should have been "the Improving" actually. Though "the Improver" is a neologism and therefore does not have a definition, i'm afraid most people interpret it as "the guy which makes things better", which unintentionally gives it a pretty conceited impression. But maybe i'm wrong and the majority are people which look at it like you. &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 14:01, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Weird, i can't remember that right now, and i didn't find this within my archives either. Maybe it's hidden somewhere within your archives. Or maybe you're indeed having just a déjà-vu and it never actually happened. But i could imagine it nontheless^^ As i said, i consider "an improver" to be a person that improves things, but when i came up with that name i thought more of a person which gets better, an improving person (in passive instead of an active way). &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 16:48, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Johnny Ftw
Myself being a Johnny Vorthos combo with like 27 decks in various states of completion.who midn you hasnt bought cards since uh several years ago. Just wanted to pint you to my newly renovated page. and say, Its sad that your Barroness name was taken, I took my MTG reference a little lighter in 2 of my characters, Ogden the Wise my perma pre Ele.. which if you read his background you'll see he's no ordinary Ele.

And my Necro... Daughter of the daughter of everyones favorite Baron. I do ask though? Is Grandmother sengir, Irini's grandmother, or Baron sengir's? &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Evil Eyeball (talk &bull; contribs) at 07:55, 2 April 2010 (UTC).
 * At first, i'm going to agree with your header :D Your Magic rant comes right on cue since UnendingFear's strip mining has reminded me of the Vintage restricted list. (Kind of retarded, i know.) Well. You seem to be a far bigger Vorthos than i am. I normally like the flavor background behind the functionality on cards. I only know the background stories roughly most of the time, but i like such random facts like Jeska and Phage being the same person. I never read any of the books though. I only considered reading the Mirrodin novels, but according to some book review i found on the internet it wasn't that good, so in the end i didn't do it. So i never heard of Ogden (regarding Magic characters) nor of Irini. Btw, it wasn't me that wanted to create a character named after Teysa, it was Noctarch^^ But i planned naming my Mesmer like that non-legendary follow - yet the name was already taken as well, there are quite a lot character names using a Magic card's name. &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 09:17, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Ogdan is no actually a character the reference is more in his backstory in that he's ment to be a plainswalker. I didn't even pick the name Ogdan based on he dwarf Ogden, it just was something cool...
 * as for Irini... Here you go, Irini Sengir &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Evil Eyeball (talk &bull; contribs) at 08:37, 5 April 2010 (UTC).
 * Ah, so your elementalist's name is kind of intended to be a GW-Magic lore crossover. I totally forgot about that Vampire Dwarf card Irini, but now i remember that card's creature types and artwork. &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 09:10, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Fix those and then deleting the redirect won't be a problem. -- Armond Warblade 03:18, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't quite know wher the problem is. They all link to Henchman Skill Bar Contest. I wanted to delete this page so the article, Henchman skill bar contest could be moved to this page. Isn't that what "Housekeeping" is about? Delete a page that prevents moving another one to this proper name, since the move is needed to keep the revision history of that article? &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 11:58, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * They all point to Henchmen Skill Bar Contest, but they should all point to Henchmen skill bar contest. The ones that currently point to the capitalized version require the redirect there so they don't become dead links. -- Armond Warblade[[Image:User Armond sig image.png]] 22:50, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * You apparently misunderstood me here. They all link to the capitalized version, yes - that's even better. Since this is an official term and also refered to as "Henchman Skill Bar Contest" on the official page, the version with minor letters that currently makes the title of the article should at best not have any links anyways. So we delete the version with the capital letters. This will create a bunch of dead links for a short period of time, but it doesn't matter - the article will get moved to this deleted page with capital letters immediately afterwards. It's kind of retarded to change the entire set of links twice just for this instant. &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 11:12, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The page was originally named HSBC (all capitals) because that is what is was referred to on the GW's website, etc. Then Pling tagged it for a move to the lowercase because of not needing to follow in-game capitilisation. I opposed the move, Armond said to leave it (as HSBC) and Ariyen wanted it move. The tag was left on the page as no consensus was reached, or no one bothered to remove it, and eventually someone moved it. I still don't agree with the move, as it's the name of the contest. I don't see people slapping the other contests that are all capitals for moves, but hey...As for now, if you just move it back, it just creates a whole new shit storm. <font color="#bb00bb" size="3px">~Celestia 11:51, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * well i didn't know about the background story, but seeing that the links on the other pages didn't get changed to the minorcase version along with the fact that every single other contest out of these about two dozen contests doesn't use minorcase letters either, this is pretty retarded. There are a lot more arguments that support the move. &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 11:58, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Do you want??
A mini Seer? I have one I could part with, I saw your comment about easily acquiring one on the talk page for him, Only issue is My mini seer came from a pre birthday gift and is thusly in pre. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.121.12.148 (talk &bull; contribs) at 07:26, 27 April 2010 (UTC).
 * (I wonder if i will even get a reply from you, Mr. anon). I don't severly want one; i effectively never bought new miniatures so far since their price decreases severly over time. I also doubt that my pre-Searing charcter could bring up an amount of money that you would be content with. &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 12:46, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Lockpicks Table
I like the Lockpicks table that you've just added to the Lucky/Unlucky guide. I note that you've quintupled the Unlucky points to normalise the graphs. This effectively puts the Lucky & Unlucky on the same scale percentage-wise. Would it be worth actually labelling the y-axis as a percentage-of-max bar to make this clear? I particularly like that, since I know I have 21% to go on the Lucky title and 54% to go on the Unlucky title, I can determine the optimal retention rate for my particular case by looking for the x-value at which the Unlucky value is 54/21 times the Lucky value - in theory, anyway. In fact, an extra line showing this ratio against a right-hand y-axis would be impressive, thought this would probably clutter up the graph too much.

P.S. What did you use to create the graph? Kirbett 16:20, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * It was made in Microsoft Excel. poke | talk 15:40, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * As poke said, it was made in Excel. Regarding the y-axis, in fact i initially planned to make it as you wanted, but then figured out that i should use it to show the title points gained instead since - as you figured out - the quintupled function shows it as well. If the axis would be used to show the percentual relation, we would actually only have one curve that reflects this relation, which - as you once again figured out correctly - would likely mess up the clarity.
 * But since your needed rate is about 2.57:1 and 2.55:1 is the relation at 50%, i'd look for chests between a rate of 47% (2.7:1) and 53% (2.4:1). The relation curve between 0% and 100% goes from 5:1 down to 0:1. If you need far more Unlucky points then lucky points, the best rate you should try to reach is still 50% - below 50% might mean a better relation, but also less points - so i guess you'd prefer getting more of both and maybe "too many" lucky points than less of both (and on top of that, it will also cost you less money for lockpicks). The only case where you actually have to look for an optimized retention rate when maxing both titles is when your unlucky title track is further progressed than your lucky title so that the relation would be below 2.55 - and that normally only happens if you passed your "afk weekends" primarily on the Rings of Fortune instead of the Nine Rings; or if you got your title track forwards primarily by opening chests (especially when done in hard mode) &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 00:09, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I got seduced by the thought of an optimal percentage relationship, completely overlooking the fact that in most cases this is a red herring. As you say, my best bet is just to go for the 50% chests. Except what I do have to do now is work out another trade-off which is unlucky-points-earned vs time-to-repeat-chest, for the various farmable chests (Boreal, Frontis, etc). This never ends, does it? I think my challenge now is to max Unlucky before GW2 :) Kirbett 08:55, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * so if i got this right, you now want to calculate the time you'll need to acquire max unlucky title? i guess this shouldn't be a problem once you figured out your average time needed to open one chest. A nice place i always used for chest running that i can advice is Pongmei Valley (normally starting from Maatu Keep). It has five or six chests, most of them are easy to reach. On top of that, thanks to the many different kinds of creatures found there, you'll find many different weapon skins. &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 12:27, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

hey
I was trying to get your No Glitter from items/bundles on the ground TexMod, but it seems the file isn't on mediafire anymore :/ Could you find it and reupload it? :) Thanks – <font color="#7777cc">alistic 07:14, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
 * i've skimmed through my guild wars folders, but unfortunately i couldn't find it :/
 * but the upside is, this mod wasn't too hard to create.
 * just drop any inventory item, switch through the image files with PG UP or PG DN until the glitter turns into green squares, and extract the file. (afair some bundles have a special glitter animation on the ground - e.g. the Repair Kit - so you'll need to extract this one seperately as well if you want to take a screenshot of these)
 * all you have to do now is to open these files (i did it with Photoshop, but i guess Gimp works as well), cut out the entire image (CTRL + A and CTRL + DEL) so that you have just a transperent file left, and save it. it sounds more complicated than it actually is, but i guess the entire instruction was unnecessary anyways in case you ever created something with TexMod before :P &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 12:32, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
