Guild Wars Codex from February 19, 2020 Stream

This post serves as an overview and reference for a rather large project I'm undertaking: Reviewing and rating all player-usable skills in Guild Wars 1. I'm undertaking this project for two major reasons. The first is that I believe there is a lot to learn about game design from this sort of review. The second is that I want to make a program to generate randomized pools of skills, and for that, I need ratings in order to have the program work the way I want. Edit: As this became quite the challenge to actually undertake in post form, I've made it into a YouTube series instead. You can find the playlist here . Rating Rubric Skills will be rated 1 to 5 points, as outlined below. Note that these ratings are based on my subjective experiences, and are focused on the PvE experience! I might bring up PvP every now and then, but it won't factor into the ratings I give. I also will not be reviewing the PvP-only versions of skills. (Some skills have a PvE version and Pv

A New Player's Guide to Guild Wars 1

June 19, 2020

Hello! If you've found this, then that means you want to know more about playing Guild Wars 1. This article will cover a variety of topics that I think are useful for getting the most out of the game. To set some expectations, my focus here is on conveying concepts that will help you play the game better in general, rather than on giving specific strategies for areas, specific team setups, or other similar things. There is a lot to learn about the game, so in order to avoid this becoming any more unwieldy than it already is, I'm going to focus on concepts and mechanics that the game doesn't cover particularly well that will help newer players. I'm not going to cover how to play, as that can be found elsewhere such as through in game tutorials and hints and on the Official Wiki (where you can also find plenty of more advanced concepts as well as a ton of information). As my first tip, you can use the Help menu in game to get handy wiki links. This menu, accessible

Presenting the Identity Tier List!

January 29, 2021

An Identity Tier List is a way of displaying how important various aspects of someone's identity are to them; it can also be useful for figuring that information out in the first place! I had the idea for Identity Tier Lists as a result of trying to figure out how to word a comment on one of Liana K 's YouTube videos that involved aspects of my identity that are distinctly less important to me than other parts. Creating the Tier List and filling it out for myself has helped me process my identity quite a bit. I'm hoping it can do the same for you! I'll present and give an overview of an image template for making Identity Tier Lists in a moment, but first... What Is a Tier List? My first experience with Tier Lists are the ones used with Fighting Games (such as Street Fighter, Guilty Gear, Mortal Combat, Smash Bros., Tekken, Soul Caliber, Marvel vs. Capcom—look, there are a lot of popular fighting game franchises out there). These are games with many characters for player
