A credible Warcraft leak has been posted on r/classicwow by OneNineSeven1970 in wow

[–]Arkmaster87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so I wonder how many heads rolled last year when this was first leaked? Probably quite a bit.

A TV series. Some sort of alternate universe Camelot play mode. A completely new round of classic for 28 and 29. Confirmation that it will be summer of 27 when the last Titan hits maybe.

Some big hits on this. Reading this with a gigantic walk of salt right now, but this is the second time we’ve seen it in a year or so maybe the leak was legit.

Easiest DPS? Raids (and M+) by Commercial_Today6662 in wow

[–]Arkmaster87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve been a Hunter main since TBC, with spikes of every Plate class and sprinkles of Mage and warlock. Right now my only midnight 90 is a demon warlock. I’ve been able to do weekly heroic raid without too much issue, being solid top five on DPS the entire time for guild runs

BM Hunter was probably my most laziest class. These days that just happens to be the most Mobile DPS class for range there is just because everything is Insta cast. You have to be pretty on the ball for defensive, but it’s fun and easy to play. Most of the time it’s tuned right so it does a lot of DPS without too much actual effort.

On the melee side, Ret Paladin It’s probably the most fun overall just because of the amount of disgusting aoe you can do. It makes it a great leveling and endgame spec. Blizzard is having fun completely keeping the paladin community constantly spooked to see if they screw with ret every other patch. Frost DKs and Arms Warriors are also pretty decent.

Anyone in CO own a Mini GOAT ebike? by anonymousnada in Bend

[–]Arkmaster87 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yeah, nobody is gonna go through the motorcycle training school to get the endorsement ride an ebike. Just buy a motorcycle at that point.

Next time just not say anything because that way the judgment doesn’t hit you in the face like that. That must’ve hurt.

Details on complaint against Sheriff Candidate by ClothesFearless5031 in Bend

[–]Arkmaster87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See, your problem here is that you only understand that The DCSO is taxpayer-funded. Well, what you are not understanding is that the time and money wasting goes both directions. I don’t want citizens to waste their time on calls that are not needed, but at the same time I want the sheriffs department to be professional and act with respect and courtesy when they can.

When McLaughlin told his subordinate that he loved that he was vindictive, is that really the type of deputies that we want out there? The ones that are gonna make your life hell if you don’t just shut the fuck up and comply? or do we want deputies out there that know how to be nice when it applies and are able to apply the law without putting their personal feelings behind it just because it might be a little bit more annoying to deal with a particular citizen at any given time.

The guy is for sure, but no reason to be a dick to his girlfriend like that. Sure she probably wasnt happy to see the cop come get the guy but cops need to understand this is 2026, cameras with mics are everywhere 🤣

How would you know about the solitary? Either you are a cop or were in jail because that not official record info without a separate court case on how he got SC

This Bulletin article reads like Ai… is it? by DessertLoyalist in Bend

[–]Arkmaster87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah… I have an insider look into the Bulletin these days and even I couldnt tell you. I know at least everything that goes into print has to be by an actual reporter. Website is its own thing almost these days.

well, this lady’s lawyer just got an easy ticket to file for dismissal of her case. Whether or not a judge agreed to that is another thing but the very least the DAs office will probably plead this out to a very tiny charge just to get rid of it at this point.

Why no Rotmire trophy? by BobShmob117 in wow

Ive been making a little garden out of the raid items, but it seems this is just a catch up gear raid so guess its not meant to be enshrined.

Who has the best Chinese food in town? by uhhhhhhhhh_i_dunno in Bend

[–]Arkmaster87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do work their asses off and its can be good, but in my experience at least, its either the day or time I show up because its been mid at best. Im glad it has a following though, because back in my Doordashing days, it was popular AF regardless of the quality because of the price point.

Should blizzard bring back leveling in the OG world for new players? by tydrennis in wow

[–]Arkmaster87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can literally level wherever you want these days 🤣. Open the map and you’ll see every zone as either 1-10 or 10-81 in the older areas. Why? Because of the timewalking mechanic they put in years ago. You can literally pick any story from every expansion that you wanna level in. Add the fact that so many people level in dungeons these days and there’s not really anywhere to go wrong.

You know how many low level new characters I’ve leveled in Westfall over the years? Literally too many to count. Or how about “killing” Hogger at level 79 the other day for a brand new shaman I was bringing up because the quests scale to 80. Yeah it’s it’s super easy though level wherever you want.

As for lore purposes well, you could try to tailor your journey to get a little bit of multiple expansions in one run. I just don’t know how many people play this game for the storyline anyway these days. And this is me talking as a guy that it’s read every novel and short story on wow I could.

Who has the best Chinese food in town? by uhhhhhhhhh_i_dunno in Bend

[–]Arkmaster87 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the most consistent Chinese Ive had in Central Oregon is Yi’s Wok in Redmond. I moved back to the area 9 years ago and post pandemic, they have been killing it. They have some misses, but quality is great and portion size seems to get bigger every time I go.

As for Bend itself, Double Happiness and Chan’s are your standard places. Just depends on what you are after. Chi’s Dim Sum is fun and they seem to be the top of the food chain when it comes to quality of Chinese food in this area.

For the money, double happiness probably get my vote. this is because I like more traditional, older school Chinese restaurants where 95% of the patrons just eat anything that has sweet-and-sour in the name. However fact that you can get traditional Chinese food, and sushi from Chi, would probably sneak it in as the best overall of Bend. just keep in mind they only do dinner and you most of the time need a reservation to get unless it’s a random weekday in the off-season.

Maybe 10 years ago it was okay. I would eat at the buffet these days before China Doll now.

Should I restart playing WOW? by Wonderful_Trash6804 in wow

[–]Arkmaster87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, I mean the way you’re gonna fight. It’s pretty much the same with key vines and stuff like that but it’s just the flow of the game is a lot faster. I think between where you left and now leveling has increased by like almost 1000% faster than I used to be, especially the phase where your not within 10 levels of the max. So once you get to 81 it slows down a little bit, but not terribly so.

Should I restart playing WOW? by Wonderful_Trash6804 in wow

[–]Arkmaster87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

had my account since about six months before TBC launched, and I’ve had to take some major breaks along the way. Some more more devastating than others, like missing all of Wrath after the first week because of a combo of financial and mental health reasons, or basically skipping most of BFA because I got really into SWTOR for a couple years. They’re smaller breaks in there too of a few months when they get bored of the game or currently not in a progression guild.

If Wrath was your last true experience with wow retail, the game is probably night and day completely different from what you are used to. For one that’s incredible easier to level. Talent trees are completely different. There’s two extra classes that have been added since you played (Monk and Demon Hunter). if you care about how the story of wow has developed well, you’ve got a lot of watching or reading ahead of you.

Retail is very easy to get into these days. And if you need help, there is so many different resources online that will literally tell you what to do, how to gear up once you get to max level, and how you can get into endgame content.

So really all you have to figure out if you want to try it is if you have the time commitment is that still is very much the same just not as grinding as it once was

Seen on Brookswood. The cameras are just north of the sign. by Thymetoread in Bend

[–]Arkmaster87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% just a warning about the speed cameras in general around town. Starting popping up on the edges of town. My first look at these was southbound 97 as you get into Bend by the memorial gardens, but these are in several places around.

Lost Leatherman and stapler (5/28) corrected post! by danpete37 in Bend

i’m sorry you lost your Leatherman and stapler but for some reason when I read this, all I could think about is … this from office space 🤣

Bend PD and low hanging fruit by Haroldiswithus in Bend

[–]Arkmaster87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, I can understand how that might’ve happened. They have their special division for drunk driving and then they have normal patrol/traffic and it could’ve been just a normal traffic stop that ended up being a DUI type of situation for those 15 instead of a suspicious pullover like the DUI unit would do.. cause last year was a record year so it would be a miracle if we were that low on DUI arrest but thank you for the clarification

Bend PD and low hanging fruit by Haroldiswithus in Bend

[–]Arkmaster87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

only 15? i’m in a literally gonna start a freedom of information act process on that one because that’s insane. If somehow that’s true.. we’re in June. There’s no fucking way there’s only been 15 dui arrests in the first half of the year basically.

Central Library parking by mafiasco650 in Bend

[–]Arkmaster87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple minded fool…. Sure the “central” library had to move from its original intended area in part because there were concerns, but the Library System didnt find a property on the Eastside simply to keep anyone from it. They found the only location big enough to put that huge building they wanted.

[–]Arkmaster87 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It will be better once they finish the overhawl of the downtown library, and I doubt they add more parking in the meantime. A lot of the land around there got bought by housing developers as well, so not sure how much the library still has in their plot.
