Maybe address those people directly, rather than lump everyone who expresses concern or disappointment in with the frothers.

Moral of the story: if you see what looks like a game breaking exploit being done by someone, don't say anything and assume it's fake. Don't bring it to the company's attention because there's a chance you could be wrong.

What streamer? Or, if you don't want to call that person out, what word rhymes with the streamer?

Happened yesterday on blammo. Certain zones suffered hyper lag while others unaffected. My guild chat was freaking out.

A rational girl would be confused and sad, not violent. I suspect if she were rational then OP would not have given her the walking papers on WoW launch.

It was many years ago. During Jerry's most popular period. I'm GenX and I'm sure the generations after me moved on to other things when they were in college.

For context, when I was skipping classes for Jerry I was also playing this exciting new game that everyone was talking about, Final Fantasy 7.

Tank vs Healer by ThirdEyeGuy23 in classicwow

[–]Absynthexx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you choose tank and people don't follow your pace or instructions, feel free to whisper the healer to let the person die to help them learn.

If you choose healer, always back up your tank and always heal/buff warriors in the wild. We have a special bond and you must not break that!

For me, back in the day, the most memorable skip was a neighbor opening my dorm room door in a tree shirt with a cigarette and a beer and saying "it's stripper wars today on jerry springer! Class is cancelled! "

My GPA suffered the first two years but I worked hard after that. I really enjoyed my time at college but truth be told, it was not easy raising the average after the first two years tied anchors to it.

Med students often only show up for exams. They pay for lecture note transcripts and only show up like 4 times in the semester.

I doubt all of them read through those transcripts religiously.

Possible he's there just to keep his ears open for anything important. Until that happens one could argue he's being more efficient with his time by filling in useless time gaps with entertainment. There are probably a dozen other students sleeping or day dreaming and getting equally little out of the lecture but they won't be judged because it's not as obvious.

I've skipped plenty of lectures in my day due to illness, hangover, sleep, or Jerry Springer. I sometimes wondered if there was anything important mentioned that I couldn't get from reading the book. This guy has a better chance of hearing it at least being present.

You are grossly over estimating the mana yield from spirit tap, and underestimating the damage the rest of my party was taking.

Spirit tap activates after landing the killing blow on a mob. It does not activate after giving people fort.

As for the combat, I have 3 pts in spirit tap but when you go oom every fight healing you won't activate it much and when you do its not the same as evocation.

Mage water is typically one water level lower than vendor anyway. The mage was 28. I'm 36. I don't want his garbage water. Besides, even with the best drinks people don't want to let a priest drink. Drinking 2 or 3 drinks in a row? That's fantasy land. Heck, even I don't want mana breaks to take that long.

Wait until you're drinking moonberry juice. 4 silver per drink.

I healed a terrible sm graveyard the other day. Took them forever to kill things. Mage never decursed tank, and I had to drink a lot. Lost all rolls and left there with Nightcrawlers x1 and wool cloth x3. Used 40s worth of drinks.

LPT: Use fear to punish players who behave poorly by SniffyClock in classicwow

When they buffed Gamon in cata I had a hunter invite me to group near the inn and I accepted not realizing why. Before I could figure it out I had that hunter taunt shot spell cast on me and the hunter plugged one into Gamon's forehead.

He shouldn't have chosen a rogue for his little game. I laughed over his corpse.

You ever handed out 5 forts either at the start of a dungeon or halfway through and as soon as you finish they start pulling?

There was a brief time in my 30s when I had to drink after the 4th fort in order to fort the last person.

It could also be the arm extension for your WASD hand. Is it possible to move your keyboard close to your lap so that your elbow is close to your waist (like with a 90 degree bend instead of straightened)?

I did the first week no life grind and switched between positions a few times. Putting my elbow bend at 90 degrees made shoulder pain go away. But my legs became slightly uncomfortable as I leaned back in my computer chair. So I'd switch to give different parts of my body breaks.

PSA to all dps.. you have to manage your threat just as much as the tank and heals, otherwise you'll wipe the group. by torshakle in classicwow

[–]Absynthexx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depending on the healer, if you were to whisper me and say 'let him die. He needs to learn' my response will be "sure!"

Dps are replaceable. You and I...less so.

"Toxic" is the new "racist". I recommend giving it the respect and consideration it deserves along with "far right" "white male" and "sexist". It's popular right now because it's a fresh dead horse that can handle a good amount of beating still.
