Worth $40? yes.

Notthe best game ever (you ay disagree), but its fun to play, and you don't have to worry about a monthly fee.

Same, but the level 20 cap sucks xD

i like the level 20 cap, its gets you into PvP faster which was by far the best part of the game.

I heard good things about Guild Wars... is it worth buying? Or does Blizzard games like WoW and WC3 still reign supreme :)

guild wars is a very good option next to WoW since it has no monthly fee and i guess in my opinion that GW sounds like a good game but im sure there are a lot of people who would disagree w/ me

go to gamespot and look at the reviews and see for urself

as for me im still trying to decide...lol

does low detail still maintain some of the graphic's good quality?
does it run smoothly on low detail ? or is it choppy and laggy?

I can play it with my GeForce 5500FX...all settings are maxxed, except anti-aliasing (which is on 2x), and water reflections on default.

It's an excellent game, but I've pretty much quit it now. My guild was full of a bunch of adult hippies who enjoyed chatting about meeting each other, getting drunk...sleeping together, was real annoying.

Am I getting Factions? No. I'm done with GW, and I hear Factions's storyline isn't as good.

I don't like the idea of a stand-alone expansion. We all know Faction's players will be 70% newcomer, 30% veteran...

Two of my PvE characters beat the entire storyline, my third one made it to the Northern Shiverpeaks before I quit.

I have two issues to correct, although I can see how someone might be confused. ;)

1. Factions can act as a stand alone game, or combine with the original chapter. In fact, you can travel between both chapter one and two if you own both games, and there are even quests in the chapter one map which are made available to chapter two professions. To say that Factions is a stand alone game is simply half true.

2. PvE is light in Guild Wars. The reason why it's light is that the real game begins with PvP. If you're in a guild where your team does not like to PvP, then you are probably in the wrong guild (nevermind the whole sleeping around issue). If you view PvE in this way, then it makes a lot of sense that all the skills are balanced, and that the weapons do not make such a huge difference in the overall gameplay.

I hope this information helps some :)

    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
