But its reset night :/

[shuttlewrth]

Sorry Aduah but my computer doesn't like large amounts of people.  I can do something in pve that's lots of people because it's spamming 1 and doesn't take skill.  My usual framerate with like ten people on my screen is in the twenties, so the mass amounts of people on reset is usually just asking for trouble and not the good kind

[Aduah]

Well I only know what thats like when there are 120 people on the screen. ok maybe 60+. Those times when I get that 7 fps in the middle of a big epic battle. :3 zzzzaaaawhhhh yeeeaaa.

GW2 generally runs pretty well for me. My framerate only tanks into slideshow territory during ridiculously crowded world boss events. (Maw is bad. I blame the snow effects.)

[shuttlewrth]

Yeah that doesn't work well in a pvp environment especially when other people are actually able to see what's going on.  Makes you a sitting duck in large fights.

I caved in a bought the balthazar outfit...not sure why almost everyone is going dark black or really dark red when you cant even see the wolf design the designers did to it...I did Flare (flashy yellow) on my 2nd war and it looks awesome with the gold hammer.

I'd a feeling you would. Now you can just blind the enemy with the shine from your armor.  

Black and red is a very solid combo—they're strong colors that contrast well—although it's also painfully overused. And yes, my burn guard is totally guilty.

Hey guys just wanted to stop by and say hi.  I haven't been on much due to house stuff and having no time or energy to play.  I was hoping to get on tonight however my internet has been out for quite a while and I don't know when it will be back up.  Hopefully I can get on tonight as in few days my computer will be packed away and we won't have internet at all for a few days.  Just an update, I didn't stop playing or anything

[Silvernis]

No internet? The horror! No, but seriously, I don't remember how to live without internet.

Anyhow, if you're on, come join us for visual delights and good time shenanigans.

[shuttlewrth]

I will silvers, maybe I'll tether the crappy 3g my phone can get to my computer.  My latency might put me at least a second though lol

Yeah the no internet thing is irritating my 3 year old, she doesn't understand why she can't watch her shows on the tv or her phone.  And before I get linched for giving a toddler a smart phone so early it's my wife's old phone so it has no service and can just use our Wi-Fi.

[Sanji]

Rolf, see you soon and I hope you get it all settled...even that 3 year old linching your doing!

Not enough people discipline their children anymore, I'm just ensuring my kids are the most behaved of all their peers.

[shuttlewrth]

So it would appear we killed our modem and they have to send out a tech >.<

[Silvernis]

Modemslaughter is a capital offense in 13 jurisdictions.

[shuttlewrth]

Better arrest me then because we kill them on a regular basis.  I'm actually surprised our router is holding up as long as it has, I'm proud of that little thing.

[shuttlewrth]

My game crashed and it's now been checking the files for about half an hour and doesn't look close to being done *sigh*.  Guess I'll talk to you guys later sometime.

[Sanji]

So that was why you disappear into the blue so fast.
We should be here when you return!

[shuttlewrth]

Yep lol, it crashed then wanted to repair the data archive.  It finished sometime in the middle of the night, after about a hour and a half it was only like 25% done so I quit waiting and went to bed.  Hopefully both of us will be on tonight, if not at least for a little bit.

[Sanji]

ii !

Wow, that's a bizarrely long time to check the data files. The few times I've had to do it have only taken 15, 20 minutes.
