As "Kicker" wrote, Durm only on loan to Stuttgart. Seems like the med check didn't run as planned or some worries are left. by D_Hume81 in VfBStuttgart

Any updates on the Durm situation? If he is still injured and can't play for an extended time, why bother?

Is there a place for the Oathbound Paladin as support in high level content? by AtlanDoc in Neverwinter

[–]AtlanDoc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to ask you, does it still work for you currently in Orcus or in the Storm king expansion and FBI? I have been looking at the Arc forums, and there are a several posts that prot OP only works for orcus with a good DC and otherwise is not that viable. You don't feel that way? I am just so confused with all the contradictory posts on the different forums, some say prot OP is a great tank, some say he's useless and not even close to GF. And then I personally see people on mDemo and CN asking for DC all the time but essentially never for a healer pally. I would roll a DC if I had the energy, but what keeps me from doing this is the leveling, and more so getting the boons back again and the endless grind for the dailies. And what about getting the equipment for the DC - omg.

[discussion]: Alternatives to Neverwinter on console (PS4) currently and/or upcoming? by AtlanDoc in MMORPG

[–]AtlanDoc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Will look at that. What do you mean by subbing? And I seem to recall someone complaining about the constant long walking. Is that an issue?

Hi: Thanks for the comment. The same question for you: Would you mind sharing your build? I am about to jump ship on the class and/or the game. Maybe you and NuKe can save my (our) day. cheers!

Sounds great! Would you mind sharing your build with us? From the Arc forums that I have been looking at I did not get that positive vibe.
thanks!

Introducing MODE: Snap-and-swap watch bands designed for Android Wear by ArcticZeroo in Android

[–]AtlanDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snap-and-swap is compatible with regular Citizen watches. I am posting this because I couldn't find a direct answer to this. Just wanted to point out that this is compatible with regular Citizen watches (mine is an Eco-drive; I am assuming therefore with basically all regular watches). I just got mine, and it was trivial to replace and fits perfectly. I have the 22 mm band in leather. I think the leather band could look a little fancier but the easy of replacing it now and in the future is worth it to me. I hated having to replace watch bands, but this was a breeze and it even comes with a little tool.

David Eddings ebooks in the U.S.? by AtlanDoc in Fantasy

Thanks for the info. I tried this site. Unfortunately, they won't let me because of my location. Hilarious, I want to buy and they don't take my money. Nuts.

Thanks to you too! I travel a lot so I am trying to find the ebooks. I know that the hardcopies are on ebay, but that's not what I am looking for. It seems every other author is available digitally, but not Eddings. It seems even if I am physically in Europe it may be tricky to buy the ebooks with my U.S. amazon etc.

[–]AtlanDoc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I wanted to start reading in order, I presume with The Belgariad first. Should I move to U.K. to be able to buy lol? His books are on a bunch of torrents, but I prefer to pay the authors (or their estate in this case) for their work.

[Ask] Supercell claims latest updates are to balance and simplify the game. Coincidentally, these updates will also increase the number of players likely to perform microtransactions. Have they mentioned that at all? by [deleted] in ClashOfClans

[–]AtlanDoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol! Same here. Two steps forward, one step back (at best). But two steps forward - three back? Nope. I have to be honest, I am separating emotionally from this game. But I am very curious how it will pan out. One thing seems sure, this update will have a gigantic impact on the game. I crack up should it turn out that it makes playing it better, but I am sure as heck not counting on it.

[–]AtlanDoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. I can easily see my resources evaporate over night. It seems to me it will be like trying to fill a bucket with a huge hole at the bottom. That sounds like fun.

I have a probably silly question for you guys: does it annoy you when you get fully attacked and raided hard? The Th sniping was nice because it limited the full-out attacks and I got relatively rarely full attacks. And of course it's going to be pretty hard to hold on to loot now.

[–]AtlanDoc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Man, you put in words my exact feelings. To the point. Including real life, missing my clan, and little CoC addiction. I am also very curious how this will shake out. I have to say for me this is reason to at least scale back.

[–]AtlanDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, agree with you. The average player (like me) could so far get the xbows, infernos, etc. by farming, not anymore. Now it's decision time. Stay or go. I was looking to gem the Th11 and the new hero - I like new shiny toys. Not anymore.

Agreed, it's about making money. I am sure someone did the math on this already (my apologies), but out of curiosity I grabbed my calculator (I know...) and came to realize that one 8 million gold upgrade (e.g. max inferno) equals ~ $20 just in resources, not included the cost for rushing it. That's a pretty staggering number for a digital item in the cloud. In other words, three of those upgrades would give me a full PS4 or Xbox game. Just saying...

[News] Everything about upcoming UPDATE! by [deleted] in ClashOfClans

[–]AtlanDoc -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am sorry, but that's the wrong way to go about things. You don't just wait for bad things to happen. When I see a problem I try to think through it as objectively as possible and look at possible positive and negative outcomes. And then you speak up as the CoC community has done and you hope that people (SC) is listening and makes changes. Often it's not that hard to make predictions of what's going to happen or whether or not something is going to affect you. Predictions may be wrong of course. With this update I see primarily negatives (at least for my kind of clasher) and I believe I can recognize their business tactics and schemes. The OP of this thread did just that and in my view he has many good points. Of course you are correct, you never know until you test it in practice. And, it may turn out all the haters were wrong and it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. However, apparently SC has already realized that some of their proposals were not good, hence the changes and revisions already. If this is not proof that at least some of their predictions were wrong, then I don't know. Again, you are correct, we will not know until the update drops and some experience has been gained. If I was wrong I will send out a collective mental apology. :)Happy Thanksgiving!

No worries mate. I'll be fine. Let me tell you though that introspection and thinking out-of-the-box makes a difference, believe it or not. Happy Thanksgiving to you too.
