Oh no, he has two left hands :D I love it anyway.

The package with the Skysteel Greatsword Skin, Skysteel Chair, and Skysteel Glider is kinda quirky. I like the sword but gliding and hovering gives me Tao Pai Pai vibes :D

Thanks for your great work and transperancy!

Great catch! Thanks! Watched it twice and missed it...

I hope it works with glyphs. I would miss my volatile magic.

06/25/2024—June 25 Release Notes

Land Spear Beta Event

The land spear beta event begins this Thursday! The event runs from June 27 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7) until June 30 at 10:00 p.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7). Every Guild Wars 2 account in good standing, including Play-for-Free accounts, will automatically get character slots marked "Beta" when the beta event begins. Clicking on one of these slots will allow you to create a character using any of the nine Guild Wars 2 professions.

General

• Added an option to hide or unhide aquabreathers in the equipment panel.
  • When the aquabreather is hidden and the player's equipped head armor is not hidden, the head armor will be shown when underwater.
  • The aquabreather's attributes will still be used when underwater.
• Fixed an issue that caused some vendors' interfaces to scroll down when purchasing items from them.
• Updated the Sunken Treasure Hunter content in anticipation of an upcoming weekly event:
  • Sunken chests have been added to the end of the Aquatic Ruins fractal and Siren's Reef fractal.
    • Deadly piranhas will now subside after the Siren's Reef boss encounter is completed.
  • In addition to resetting when the Master Diver achievement is completed, sunken chests will now also reset upon logging in or your first time entering a map after the weekly reset.
  • The locations of some sunken chests have been adjusted within the map they are located in, primarily where they overlapped with quaggan villages.
    • Hint cinematics for the chests have been updated.
  • Ornate rusted keys can now be double-clicked to show a hint cinematic for the next available sunken chest in the Master Diver achievement.
  • Dive Master Astora's merchant inventory has been updated.
    • Swim-speed infusion upgrades have been condensed to encourage upgrading in increments of 5; single-point upgrades are still available.
    • An account-based swim-speed infusion is now available. This infusion begins at +15 increased swimming speed and can be permanently improved for all characters on your account by purchasing upgrade items from Dive Master Astora.
    • Infusable, exotic-quality aquabreathers are now available so that players can enjoy their swim-speed infusions before they have earned an ascended aquabreather.
    • A limited number of extra ornate rusted keys can be purchased for karma each week, and excess keys can be exchanged for karma.
    • Some of the new items will be available as prizes in an upcoming weekly event.
  • Made various functionality improvements to opening and resetting sunken chests.
• Lowered the difficulty of the "Help Lucretia get back to Garenhoff" event to make it easier for one player to complete.
• Fixed an issue that caused players to become trapped in the catapults near Garrison Waypoint.
• Fixed an issue that could prevent the rockslides encountered in the Missing Brood collection from being in the proper animation state.

Fractals

Lonely Tower Fractal

• Reduced the boon corruption Eparch causes with Envy Empowerment.
• Eparch's Consume skill will only absorb emotion globules that are 5 or more seconds old.
• Reduced Eparch's health.
• Fixed an issue that prevented Wave of Envy from hitting enemies if they were standing too close to Eparch.
• Reduced the boon corruption dealt by Wave of Envy. The skill no longer corrupts boons on players who evade the attack.
• Reduced the health of the rift guardian champions summoned during the encounter in challenge mode.

Strike Missions

• Some balance adjustments have been made to the Temple of Febe challenge mode encounter to make it more accessible. These changes do not apply to the legendary version of the encounter.
  • Reduced the duration of the Insatiable effect applied by Empowered Insatiable Hunger to 3 minutes.
  • Reduced the number of stacks of Empowered that Cerus gains from Empowered Smash to 2.
  • Reduced the health and toughness of Malicious Shadows.
  • Reduced the penalty for failure during Empowered Crushing Regret. Failure to have enough people to absorb an attack will cause players to be downed instead of defeated, as will being hit by two of the attacks. Multiple failures or being hit by the skill more than two times will still cause players to be defeated.

Player vs. Player

  • The cost for a set of ascended armor has been lowered from 1,200 ascended shards of glory to 800 ascended shards of glory.

  • This achievement has been added to the list of achievements that award progress toward completing the Secrets of the Obscure: The Midnight King Mastery meta-achievement.

Items

• Players who misplaced their Saga's End Draconic Core or would like extras can now purchase additional copies from Sarettokk in Lion's Arch after completing all requirements to earn the item.
• Suffused Obsidian armor skin consumables' rarity has been updated from legendary to exotic to prevent the deletion confirmation from requiring players to type out the name.
• Fixed an issue that prevented Eparch's Empowered Greatsword and Eparch's Empowered Sword skins from being unlocked in the wardrobe.
• Fixed an issue that caused the Saryx Backpiece, the Midnight King Backpiece, and the infused versions of both to grant exotic attribute values instead of ascended attribute values.

World vs. World

• Fixed an issue that caused some WvW teams in Europe to experience map queue issues.

I think, it is the real world logic that makes it hard to grasp. If you divide something with something small it becomes bigger. Mathematically it's easy and makes sense, but it it's somehow not intuitive. Especially for young me :)

25/5=5

2.5/0.5=5

o.O

A wild fork appears :)

Saw the trailer, was hyped. Then I read some steam reviews... Now I'm sad...

The article is a summary of:

https://www.mayerowitz.io/blog/mario-meets-pareto

Fake news, but great to have this info here. It‘s always good to know what is going on everywhere.

Am I reading the article wrong? The plastics come from the storage containers. Therefore the heading is quite misleading.

The Sweet Baby Inc. situation is taking this to another level currently. Maybe it's my bubble, but it seems everyone is talking about it.

Thx!! :) have a nice day!

Here ist the latest mainline Windows build: https://archive.org/details/yuzu-windows-msvc-20240227-120358cf6

kebab-case-for-the-win

Uhh, I didn't know that. Thanks for mentioning it!! I used the Blish Black-List, I'm probably missing some squads in the LFG - lel.

Too bad, I loved the GS Rev. It became my second main ( after thief :). I switched to sword+sword last patch so it's not that bad, but I miss the GS aesthetics.

PS: Shortbow thief works great in the lab.
