[edit] Bye

Cya Armond, I hope you still pop into IRC every once and a while :) Good luck with whatever you move onto. -- scourge 23:44, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Bye Armond. — ク Eloc 貢 00:44, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

a damn shame that yar leaving x). now GW loses one of the few non nabs that doesnt like ursan >.<83.249.119.162 10:59, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I didn't know much about you, but saw you every now and then. Cya Armond, hf. Maybe you decide to return in case Ursan gets nerfed someday... —ZerphaThe Improver 12:53, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

I find myself still clinging to that ideal, somehow, but Ursan is one of many things that would need nerfing for me to come back. -- Armond Warblade 15:11, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

OMG ARMOND U R GUD 99.141.0.145 00:00, 13 May 2008 (UTC) [Zeecron from PvX, You Temp. Banned Me 4 Owning IbSrs]

You also got temp banned for semi-trolling, iirc. -- Armond Warblade 03:30, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Izzy's Page

Would you want a bunch of retards with no real knowledge of the game telling you how to do your job even though you're delicately trying to balance the game without completely throwing things out of swing all at once (which will probably cause some people to rage)? He has a private forum somewhere where he discusses skill balance with people who know a damn about theorycraft. — Skakid 19:27, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

I was going to say no, but I'd like it if he could at least let those who do know about balancing that he's listening, but then you mentioned said forums. If you see me on MSN, could you chuck me a link (if you have one)? -- Armond Warblade 19:42, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't know what they are =/ 19:32, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] PvE

Is balanced now. Halogod35 03:14, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Ursan blessing, consumable, pve skills in general, and quite a few other things are still in place. PvE is not balanced. — Teh Uber Pwnzer 04:23, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

With the recent updates? with the recent "incoming" and shadow form? HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHé! -- NUKLEAR IIV 11:44, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Tbh, I wouldn't waste paragons on incoming when you can use this team. Bring a second human and you get a maintainable incoming that requires only two people. -- Armond Warblade 15:08, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Note to self

<includeonly> is NOT the same as <noinclude>.

Shit. -- Armond Warblade 14:50, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

And <onlyinclude> is not the same as <includeonly>, and certainly not <noinclude> -- Brains12 \ talk 15:01, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

And <noonly> doesn't exist poke | talk 15:02, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Lol... -- Brains12 \ talk 15:04, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Tip for that: remove the first </noinclude> and the second <noinclude>, otherwise you could have an ugly unwanted line break after the clear. poke | talk 15:07, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Completely missed that. Thanks, Poke. -- Armond Warblade 15:26, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About the breaking news...

Please note that people reading or not is irrelevant here. The user pages policy is pretty clear about the prohibition of posting such content on the wiki. The user in question received several warnings (even if not in the best way), and has been told already in the past that such content is not allowed by policy, and that trying to force it into the wiki will lead again to a ban, but he choose freely to ignore the warnings. And, since freedom comes with a price, we must understand that he freely choose to pay that price.--Fighterdoken 17:37, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Uh, I'm pretty sure that it's not offensive content. Yeah, I know about his history; I generally don't go making an ass of myself without knowing what I'm doing, thanks. -- Armond Warblade 17:39, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I am not sure about offensive content this time (too lazy to read it), but las few times (and bans) it was because of sexually explicit content, wich is not allowed by the Rules of Conduct from GW, and thus by the user pages policy which also enforces such RoC on userpages.--Fighterdoken 17:44, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

The only offense here is the violation of Guild Wars Wiki:User page#Ownership. This is a warning, Armond. Please do not break any other policies. — Gares 17:49, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] So how come...

...you're still here? According to your own statement on your own page, you supposedly left for WoW at least 2 weeks ago. 145.94.74.23 08:47, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

the drama is lulz. talk is lulz. It moar fun to be on the wiki than in the game. -- NUKLEAR IIV 10:32, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Ah, I see. L0Lz0rz b0x0rs l337 h4x kzt then. 145.94.74.23 16:37, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

thats gay --Cursed Angel 16:40, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Because there's friggin 40 minute wait times to get into AV, and I'm addicted to 40v40 PvP. -- Armond Warblade 17:09, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Mmm...that's a good argument. 40vs40 sounds like fun. 145.94.74.23 20:55, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

IT BLOODY IS. (Laggy as all hell once the warlocks and mages and hunters start dropping the AoEs, though.) -- Armond Warblade 01:08, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] D&D 4.0

I was planning on waiting a little before getting them. Put on update on your first impressions when you get them :D I'm not sure how I much I wanna "invest" in 4.0 after how much I spent on 3.0 and 3.5... ugh. -- ab.er.rant 03:30, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

...I so didn't pirate half my 3.5 books... >.>

Ok, realistically, I bugged family into buying most of them for me. I'm still young enough (or was) to do that. I do know a few things from #gww, though; the alignment system's been reduced to LG, G, N, E, and CE, because the old alignment system was popular enough that they made it not-copyright. They also booted the Bard, Barbarian, Druid, Monk, and Sorcerer iirc, which seems like a good thing (at least on the last three).

Other than that, I'll keep you informed. -- Armond Warblade 18:35, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Even though they booted a lot of traditional "core" stuff, I think it's safe to bet WotC will come out with yet another PHB2 and DMG2 that provides these as "options"... :D From the previews I've been reading on the website, some of their rationalization does seem quite justifiable... which annoys me all the more because they really did seem to rectify some of the 3E problems. Getting rid of the gnome was a good move, since gnomes were never really distinct enough, but bringing in the tiefling as a standard race? A bit strange to me. -- ab.er.rant 01:21, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

I haven't heard much about race changes (I heard about the tiefling, but not the gnome), but I was under the impression that they kept LA adjustment races out of PHB because LA was supposedly too complex for newer players. If they brought in the tiefling, I hope they brought in the aasimar. -- Armond Warblade 18:30, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Survey question

Does it have to only be MMO's? Something I really like is the crafting system in Diablo 2: Median 2008, but it isn't an MMO so I can't add it. — Teh Uber Pwnzer 03:58, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Really, I'm trying to find specifics of a game (any game, really) that makes it fun/not fun/interesting/not interesting/etc. So yeah, go ahead and throw it up there, and whatever other thoughts you have. -- Armond Warblade 15:13, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hello from Amazon.com.

[edit] Super Igor

Don't make that matter worse by with thinly veiled NPA offenses please. Also: Saying someone is from PvX is an NPA offense now? Not the last time I checked. --Xeeron 08:31, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

If that's your idea of thinly veiled, I'd love to see what you'd consider srs bsns NPA. And that removal wasn't really NPA, but it wasn't really anything else, and given how this wiki is known for its "QQ NPA" attitude, I figured it fit. Regardless, that doesn't belong at all, as he has absolutely no proof that it's Igor, nor does he have any proof that it is, indeed, someone from PvX. -- Armond Warblade 22:44, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

So you figured that you'd remove something from a userpage, and because it "wasn't really anything" you'd simply make up something about it? That is hardly going to help your cause. --Xeeron 23:25, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

I removed what was essentially a paranoid lie in an attempt to calm Droks down. Take it as you will. -- Armond Warblade 23:09, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Just a side note...

WoW has one hell of a metagame. (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 07:09, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Rogue/Shaman can go choke on a gigantic dick. --71.229.253.172 07:16, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

To expand on my brief comment; arenas are the only PvP that's in any way e-sport'ish. 2v2's are orders of magnitude more "builds wars" than GW ever has been; 3v3's aren't much better, and if you're not running a shammy in 5v5's you're doing it wrong. (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 07:20, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

That's what I get for not having a 70, I guess. But I was basing my judgment on the fact that of all the bloggers I know and read (which, I suppose, isn't as large as it could be), only one or two really do arenas; the rest stick to BGs, although I'll admit I hadn't thought of premades at the time (mostly because I don't run into them all that much). -- Armond Warblade 13:01, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

71 always makes me go lol. -- nüklaer | VII | selfless self promotion 15:39, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

BGs are basically just the equivalent of AB - mostly just random teams of people where half the people still don't understand the gametype years after it's been released, and consider "strategy and tactics" to be hitting the person casting heals and running away from people with big swords.

[edit] Old HA map

I don't know how long you've been pvping but maybe u can help me out. What was the name of the 3-way altar map that used to be in halls before Sacred Temples replaced it? ~Shard (talk) 17:40, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Broken Tower? -- nüklaer | VII | selfless self promotion 18:46, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Sacred temples replaced it. It's not listed anywhere on this wiki because it was a beta map or something. ~Shard (talk) 19:17, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Read the page for the broken tower. The bit about "Broken Tower was most recently a Kill Count match, having been changed from an Altar Capping match during the Heroes' Ascent 8v8 Test Weekend." I may be wrongi though. -- nüklaer | VII | selfless self promotion 19:26, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Not been PvPing that long, sorry. (I wish, though.) -- Armond Warblade 21:18, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

I know about broken tower. The map I'm thinking of was high tier, right before halls, or maybe 2 maps before halls. It's not listed on wiki.

It was similar to broken tower in that there was an altar in the middle and 3 bases in a circle around it, but it was not the same map. I wish I could go back in time and play beta GW. ~Shard (talk) 21:30, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

I also wish I had taken screenshots of it. It was a really fun map. I had a wierd dream last night involving that map (dont ask) and thought it would be awesome if they brought it back as a cap points map. ~Shard (talk) 00:46, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

tl;dr at "...I thought it would be awesome if they brought... back... a cap points map". -- Armond Warblade 00:52, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

It was originally an altar map, but the layout would be perfect for cap points. I'm not a fan of cap points in HA right now because they designed the 3 worst possible map layout to put it on.

I need to get my emulator working, steal the GW textures, build the area, and screenshot it. ~Shard (talk) 01:52, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Instinct, which turned out to be incorrect. -- Armond Warblade 16:28, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About time imo

we moved on completely from GW, only to return when it is completely fixed. I have done so, heck, I've even resorted to having a shitload of fun on maplestory private servers, it's that much more fun than pulling teeth by fighting against imbalanced and lame shit in GW. Still waiting for my dad to NOT be a prat and actually subscribe to WoW for me so I can pay him for it. Napalm Flame 16:32, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Your dad is lame. In other news, shamen and rogues can suck my dick. (Locks aren't that bad, because I have 33% uptime on my "lolimmunetofear" button, plus another fear-break skill. Soon enough I'll have enough honor to buy a trinket that'll be yet another fearbreaker, but req level 70.) -- Armond Warblade 17:05, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

why do you want PVE to be balanced.Why not start with pvp or izzy's diet yh maybey thats a good place to start.PS HI :) Lilondra 17:30, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

the beautiful thing about an ınline game is that your saves don't go up in the air when you uninstall. -- NUKLEAR IIV 20:26, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

I want the entire bloody game to be balanced. The thing is that most players either don't have a clue that the game is broken all to fuck (these are generally the PvErs), or do mostly PvP and want PvP to be fixed (and wonder why it's taking so long now that the PvE/PvP skill split's been installed). There's a relatively few number of people that actually want to see PvE balanced - the PvErs generally don't realize there's a problem because, even with perma SF and Incoming buffs, they fail at the game, and the PvPers are so used to "lolPvE" because PvE's been so easy for so long now. -- Armond Warblade 23:01, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Seriously, armond, did you expect the split to be a viable fix? It was total trash. Not only was it implemented poorly and didn't do anything, it has no potential of doing anything. Bleeehhh. -- NUKLEAR IIV 00:07, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

It has the potential to do plenty once ANet gets off their asses and actually starts working as a company. -- Armond Warblade 01:03, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

And actually starts working* Lilondra 11:28, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

The sad thing is that the staff for gw is now so laughably small that they can't do anything. Almost everyone aims on gw2 now. And gw is abandoned, yay.Oni 13:10, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

See it this way in about a year that staff will be bigger then the amount of members owh wait nm that Lilondra 17:13, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

It's too bad they only did the split because of Whiney PvE softcore players who think the game should never be changed and their precious creative build (yea, PvE softcore people were bitching because Vampiric Spirit and Thunderclap and FUCK even incendiary arrows got changed last update. I lol'd)'s are god like. They split skills cause of PvE softcore players who cry about PvPers nerfing their shit 24/7. So now you have a split that basically every PvPer who has no faith in Anet called would just be giving buffs to PvE being right because Anet did it so that they could balance PvP without pissing off whiny PvE softcore players.

Now, if the split was done to fix problems in PvE while not affecting PvP, we'd be getting somewhere. Too bad that isn't the case. :( DarkNecrid 20:36, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kicking people from guild

is annoying. Second time now I've had to kick people for randomly shouting "NIGGAAAAAA GANGSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" in guild chat. The second guy tried to defend himself with the trio of "I'm black, so how is it racist", "have you seen what people say these days", and "it's a movie". He honestly doesn't understand that he was spamming /g with racism in all caps (even though he only said it once, it's still spam - and come on, we had a huge discussion about it the last time this happened, common sense please!), or that it's wrong.

In before Auron: Yeah, have to oppress the racism, the guild leader's a grandmother.

Where do I sign? -- NUKLEAR IIV 13:58, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Am not yet. Have some ideas down (see my userpages here and at pvx, pvx has a neat discussion going on that I had to break into a whole separate section) and a bunch of stuff in my head, but I have concerns about releasing things under GFDL. I'd say get on MSN/Skype and bother me about it, but I kinda, uh, disconnected my registry from my computer and don't have the CD to repair it, so I'm working off of my dad's mac (again) until I can get one in the mail from my grandfather. Which, hopefully, will be tomorrow. (The awful part is that I'm supposed to be in charge of my guild in WoW, as our guild leader's currently off watching one of her sons get married until Tuesday.) -- Armond Warblade 17:33, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Ew mac. If you want a balancer/questmaker/loremaster/storywriter type of guy, I'm your man. I can't program for shit, but, you'know, I'z bored... -- NUKLEAR IIV 17:55, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

IT'D BE EASIER IF YOU HAD MSN. Or did they ban that too? (I do have a sort of story lined up, but I think trying to explain it verbally over Skype would be... problematic.) -- Armond Warblade 17:57, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

YOu don't have to verbaly explain it over skype. Text chat also works over skype. Besides, the comp I'm posting this from it.. not suitable for communications like that (don't ask..) -- NUKLEAR IIV 18:14, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Wow, Skype just got about fifty times more awesome in my book. I'll have to actually check it out now. What's wrong with your comp, did you spill orange juice over your speakers? :P (I did that to my GBA's speaker, it was never the same again...) -- Armond Warblade 18:24, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Skype is better in every respect. I mean every respect. For one, the interface is not as horeshit as MSN. -- NUKLEAR IIV 11:18, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
