Upcoming features from the June 6 patch

First things first: I'm fully going to support the upcoming reddit lockdown so after 11 years this is going to be the last data-mining post on the subreddit for the time being.

I have not decided yet if I want to retool a lot of my software to move everything over to my site (which could use a serious overhaul as well) or if the posts will return to whatever reddit turns into in the future. Keep an eye out on my twitter or the discords I lurk around.

Enjoy and hopefully I'll see you around

• Models
• Maps
• Shaders
• Havok physic information
• Some music cues
• Fonts

Most likely in anticipation for the full DX11 transition.

Upcoming features from the December 13 patch

Not only has the option to disable postprocessing been removed it also looks like the gemstore schedule is missing some information as well. I'll keep an eye out if this returns before the next patch.

Totally Accurate Balance Simulator

A lot of people think Guild Wars 2 skill balance is all about favoritism and nerfing improbable numbers but it’s actually all about stacking, positioning and most of all actual balance! So to help you understand how this entire system works I’ve built a sophisticated "tool" that helps you balance your skills. How many can you stack?
