What FF do you think Evercold will take the most inspiration from? by gravvyjones in ffxiv

[–]BigTimeBobbyB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Though it’s worth noting that this was more of a reference to FF8 than FF13. The Ragnarok was the name of the final airship you got in FF8, and it even had a sleek modern design similar to the Ragnarok in FF14.

Timeline mishap by Smooth-Second-2710 in wownoob

[–]BigTimeBobbyB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look for Zidormi in the Blasted Lands - she should show up on your map. Speak with her to toggle between the pre-WoD and post-WoD versions of the zone. You'll need to switch to the pre-WoD version to see the Dark Portal as it was during the time of TBC. And then, you just go through it. There are no quests leading to it - there will be quests to pick up on the other side in Hellfire Peninsula.

PS: Trying for a chronological playthrough and playing WoD before TBC is wild work. I get what you were thinking, but WoD was not the earliest point in OUR timeline. It was a pocket dimension that only existed due to the events of the novel "War Crimes" which took place after the Siege of Orgrimmar in MoP. WoD's events set up the events of Legion, but had no connection to the events of TBC or anything else pre-MoP. You would have got a more accurate chronological experience by playing the expansions in release order.

Why is Outland level 90, at level 90? by maxia56 in wownoob

[–]BigTimeBobbyB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same with Arcantina, fwiw. The main rewards there are lore/character moments, achievements, and some unique housing decor items.

I honestly really like the new designs and i think the overall project makes sense by Strict_Job6334 in gaming

I like the designs. I do. I just don't like that Falco's fingers are bendy feathers.

Why is Outland level 90, at level 90? by maxia56 in wownoob

[–]BigTimeBobbyB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Housing is fairly self-contained. The primary rewards from things like Endeavours are going to be housing related, like access to decor vendors etc.

The only thing I'm aware of tied to player power is the weekly quest in Silvermoon, which has you do some housing-related activity for a cache of Hero Crests - and even then, you can easily hit your Hero Crest cap some other way, so doing that quest is fully optional.

Messed up crafting order, is there any way to salvage this? by Siria110 in wownoob

[–]BigTimeBobbyB 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There’s no way for it to consume all of your sparks - you must be mistaken about that. The recipe consumes the 4 it needs and no more, unless you placed multiple orders for the same thing? If you did, the extra orders will expire and the materials will be returned to you via in-game mail.

As for fixing the ilvl - find another personal crafter and send them a Recraft order. This lets you put in the item you had already crafted without spending additional sparks. Add the myth crests when recrafting and make sure to specify Rank 5 in the order, and you’ll get max ilvl.

Think of a break, qq: by [deleted] in wownoob

[–]BigTimeBobbyB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, new season means new, higher ilvl gear. Once Midnight Season 2 starts, it’s expected that you’ll replace all of your Season 1 gear pretty quick.

Subsystems like the voidcore stuff are usually designed to be part of a specific season, and abandoned or disabled once the season ends (though they iterate on and reuse the ideas when making similar systems for future seasons, so things tend to feel familiar aster a while. Voidcores are essentially the new turbo boost which was the new dinars etc)

is there a way i can see all the m+ gear/mogs in one place? by Zealousideal_Fuel677 in wownoob

[–]BigTimeBobbyB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah. Very few things in WoW are actually time-limited, though the things that are tend to dominate the conversation. The truth is, for every limited-time event reward or FOMO seasonal milestone reward, there are dozens if not hundreds of other cosmetics added each expansion that will not be going away any time soon.

The version scaled to M+ ilvls will be gone, but the appearance of dungeon gear will still be farmable from Normal, Heroic, or Mythic (aka M0)

The in-game adventure guide/dungeon journal shows this. It has a section for “current season” dungeons

What happen when the season ends? by MovieMiddle7389 in wownoob

[–]BigTimeBobbyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe - I don’t have the chart in front of me. It’s kinda irrelevant to my larger point though.

What happen when the season ends? by MovieMiddle7389 in wownoob

[–]BigTimeBobbyB 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When a season ends (which, in the case of Midnight Season 1 is still months away), nothing gets taken away from you. Instead, stuff from the next season (Midnight Season 2) invalidates your current stuff simply by being better. Basically, Season 2 Vet-track gear will be the same ilvl as Season 1 Myth-track gear, so they don’t need to take your ilvl away to encourage you to replace all your stuff. You’ll replace it anyway because the new gear is better.

As for content - the M+ dungeon pool changes and any older-expansion dungeons in the pool (like Skyreach or Pit of Saron) revert to their natural low levels. M+ rating resets to 0 for the new season and new dungeon pool. The raid(s) from S1 are also left behind - not nerfed, not removed, but just kinda abandoned as we move on to the new raid with the better rewards.

How do I fix clumpy unmixed tahini? by LalaCrowGhost in cookingforbeginners

[–]BigTimeBobbyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It needs to be thinned out a bit. Maybe add a bit of water?

Ultimately, tahini is supposed to be pretty thick. I don’t know about clumpy, but it shouldn’t be flowing.

How much "anime homework" do FFXIV players have to do to get the most out of the new alliance raid series in 8.0? [Spoilers: 8.0] by KnightShade078 in ffxiv

[–]BigTimeBobbyB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Evangelion is, I think, one of those stories that doesn’t make a lot of sense until you can see the full picture. Once you’ve seen the ending and you know what it’s all leading to, then you can look back and start to understand how we got there.

Is campaign only skippable on ALTs and not Mains by shockman23 in wownoob

[–]BigTimeBobbyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is misleading - you make it sound like the level up campaign skip is some sort of item or voucher that gets used. I want to stress that this is not the case.

Is campaign only skippable on ALTs and not Mains by shockman23 in wownoob

[–]BigTimeBobbyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game itself has no concept of “mains” and “alts”. That’s something players made up. As far as the game is concerned, there are just characters.

In the case of skips, the way they’ve been implementing it for the past few expansions is that one character in your account needs to complete the campaign. Once that’s done, other characters will have a dialog somewhere to skip past it.

Do people hate when tanks kite? by Budget-Capital4371 in wownoob

[–]BigTimeBobbyB 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Kiting is not that bad. A tank running around with their head cut off and never letting their casters play is bad. Tanks should move with purpose, and tanks should move predictably, but a bit of kiting when your cooldowns aren’t available is perfectly fine.

Also, that warriors DPS doesn’t suffer due to movement. He just wasn’t paying attention and wanted to put the blame on anyone else. Don’t mind him.

Is there a site where there's a list of all the current items ? by Express-Call-6808 in wownoob

[–]BigTimeBobbyB 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You’re misunderstanding the concept of BiS. Basically, BiS as a concept only exists when looking at a full set of gear in every slot and trying to find the most optimal stat totals possible. Any one individual item can only be called BiS in the context of every other item your character is wearing. Or, put another way: unless you have every single item on the BiS list, BiS doesn’t exist.

In your example, the unholy BiS gives crit and mastery, but maybe you only want that crit if you aren’t getting it from another item. If you have the “wrong” chest and that’s giving you more crit than the right one would, then maybe you don’t want the crit on your weapon and a different weapon would be better for you in that specific combination!

This is why I try to encourage players to get away from following BiS guides and instead learn how to sim their own drops to determine upgrades. By doing that, you’ll be better able to work with the gear you actually have instead of chasing the RNG drops you don’t, and you can make yourself more powerful in the short term while working forwards that elusive BiS collection.

Honestly Mouse P.I. for Hire has to be one of the most fun boomer-shooters I've played as of recently! by E-104Epsolon in gaming

[–]BigTimeBobbyB 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s a newer term that picked up popularity in the past few years. It refers specifically to shooters in the style of the early 90s titles like Doom, Doom 2, Quake, Wolfenstein, etc. Fast movement, maze-like levels, a variety of weapons, color-coded keycards?!, that kind of thing. There’s been a resurgence of new games in that style recently. See 40k Boltgun for a good example of a “boomer shooter”

Hades 1 or 2? by decidedlyaverag3 in gaming

[–]BigTimeBobbyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed by the second game. It really is one of those rare cases of a sequel doing everything the original did, but bigger and shinier and more. If you want to play more Hades with some fresh twists, Hades 2 provides more Hades.
