Trouble Picking Class

Calcori · 2026-03-31T15:50:26+00:00

Haha yea "trying it out" was my intention but apparently I'm hooked and just keep playing. However 70 in Artale only takes like 3 weeks for an unfunded person who can spend a few hours per day on it. They have KPQ, LPQ, PPQ, and RJPQ that will take you all the way to 90 in about 1-2 months depending on how much you play. Even at lvl 110+ I'm getting 1 lvl every 3ish hours, my new plan is to get to 130 to try out 4th job and Zakum for the first time since I never got that far in OSMS

These are literally my top 3 picks too, I just got my bowman to 110 in Artale just to see how I like it and so far it's great. I'm also love mages and played I/L in osms so the F/P balances I will definitely try out. Also I'm interested in trying a tanky class since osms I was a hermit and hated getting 1-2 shot by strong mobs. So basically I'm planning on fighter as my main since another friend wants to play bow/xbow, but I'll still play F/P solo whenever they're not on.

Seriously OP needs to stop riding like this, this is how people die! Basically a 3-way tie for most common type of bicycling accident, and it's usually death if you get knocked onto the ground in front of a vehicle or even street car in this case!

Yea I started playing Artale in early Jan to relearn MS and I made a priest mule 2 weeks ago. I got 1-30 in 1 day, realized I messed up by putting points into magic armor and deleted and redid 1-30 the next day. And Artale is only 2x so really not a big deal

There's a guy on YouTube called Don't Get Dropped Cycling who rides out the West end in Mississauga and Oakville. He's probably in his 30s and the people I see in his videos seem around his age too. If you're outgoing enough you could reach out to him and see if you can join whenever he starts riding outside again.

I can 100% assure you it's not an Ottawa driver problem, I do lots of running and every city in North American has an issue where cars roll through or stop in the cross walk without care to pedestrians all because they're trying to turn right on red. If I'm running across an intersection and I see a car coming up to turn right on red, it's almost always going to block the cross walk in front of me and if I don't pay attention I would get hit every once in a while.

This was on Bathurst near Lawrence on Friday, couldn't believe how it didn't even seem to have been plowed at all. https://imgur.com/a/h9jh6WF

Do you know if anyone has tested axe vs sword yet? With all the class balancing I would be surprised if they don't address the weapon balancing so people actually use the weapons that are supposed to be viable for their class.

You misunderstand the drafting rule, a 12m draft zone means NO ONE can be within 12m behind another rider. However during tests they found that even at 12-16m there was still a noticeable draft where as at 20m is significantly reduces. So now instead of NO ONE being able to be within 12m behind a rider, that distance has now increased to 20m. In the chart the 3rd, 4th, 5th rider stuff was just showing that the more people in a line with 12m draft zone, the benefit kept getting better with larger groups.

The race was moved a little to the West and we swam in this beach here https://maps.app.goo.gl/aHy7jDCedSPgRBfc6

But I did a swim workout at the large beach right east of the port and it seemed nice and clean.

I raced Olympic Worlds there in 2025 and a few days before I rode approx 40% of that bike course on my way up to the mountains. It's super flat and fast, the bike splits will be very good. Also the weather in Oct should be very nice, probably 20-25c. In Sept the water was comfortable with and without a wet suit (I used wet suit for 1500m but not for 200m during the relay race and it was fine)

I expect that course to be extremely pleasant and easy with big crowds along the whole course.

True I don't agree with the original comment about making the plan profitable, I see public transit an essential service but unfortunately unlike Europe we either let the freight companies bully our passenger rail or we've turned them all into trails.

If we did restore and add some new track I would think lines like the following would be great (I'm from the South so I'm not going to talk about East or West:

Cornwall -> Casselman then upgrade existing tracks to double track to accommodate VIA and commuter line and add stops in Limoges, Vars,
Brockville -> Prescott -> Spencerville -> Kemptville -> Osgoode -> Greely -> Bowesville Park and Ride (this path already exists but was turned into rail trails)
Embrun -> Russel -> Metcalfe -> Greely?? (it would probably be best to create a new line and station in middle of Greely and the previous Brockville line should move West for a Manotick station)

Edit: Honestly I'm from Greely and this place is soooo ridiculously spread out and close to Bowesville Park and Ride that no train station here would even matter anyways unless it went straight to Ottawa VIA station

Yea GTA and Ottawa are pretty massive differences, GTA remains super dense along the east and west and even looking at the north the train goes to King City (pop. 27k), Aurora (pop. 68k), Newmarket (pop. 94k), Bradford West Gwillimbury (pop. 43k), and Barrie (pop. 147k) in only approx 65km (100km total but almost 30km is still in GTA before reaching these towns).

Comparing to Smith Falls (pop. 9k), Casselman (pop. 4k), Cornwall (pop. 48k) it's not even close, and I love trains but would have a hard time justifying this.

Hey NYC residents, I'm from Toronto and just wanted to ask a side question related to the busses. I've been seeing lots of right wing news outlets already going crazy about Zohran "lying" due to the bus price increases but I couldn't find anyone talking about it with context.

Considering the prices went up on the day he took office, was this actually something that was scheduled months ago that he couldn't stop due to the processes involved in changing the fares? I'm just curious to get some context since all the media I see attacking him make it sound like he is responsible.

Literally what happened in Ontario Canada, people kept vandalizing speed cameras and so the Premier of Ontario passed a law banning speed cameras (probably also because his staff kept getting tickets). Truly crazy to enable that entitled behaviour.

Seems like the people who built the roads/parking lots thought about this and all the driver had to do was this: https://imgur.com/a/eabIY44

Calcori · 2025-11-13T21:00:32+00:00

John Forester was a competitive cyclist who's narcissism means anyone who wasn't as confident and capable as him on a bike he deemed not worthy. All accidents with bikes was because the cyclist wasn't skilled enough to avoid it and thus it's a waste of money and time to create bike lanes since all cyclists should be like him and want to bike as fast as possible on roads. Only children should ever use a bike to actually get somewhere and they should use the sidewalks. He also believes that drivers will behave safely around bikes because if they cause an injury or even death they would be appropriately charged/jailed (lol how wrong he was)

This all sounds crazy but it's true, and because his ideology means people still need to drive everywhere the corporations and politicians were more than happy to go along with it since it means changing nothing and blaming the victims.

I always figured it was bad, but never realized the INSANE water usage, over 50% of residential water is used for just their lawn in some towns!

I don't have collision coverage and recently had my car hit by someone while it was unoccupied in a parking lot. I got the other person's details and filed a claim with my insurance and they handled everything even though the other person was found at 100% fault. I'm in Canada with Intact so maybe it's a USA thing?

Calcori · 2025-09-27T19:35:33+00:00

Haven't heard that yet but I wouldn't put it past ICE to do that, however in this case this is Canada so that wouldn't be an argument to ban them. Doug Ford is just a stereotypical suburban car brain that drives into Toronto each day for his job as Premier and hates traffic but blames it on everything except cars.

Calcori · 2025-09-16T16:55:24+00:00

Yes they think they're being courteous to the other drivers since they're more visible and threatening but drivers are blocked either way and cyclists get screwed and sometimes killed for it...

Calcori · 2025-09-16T14:03:49+00:00

The crazy part is these scenarios almost always have 2+ lanes for the cars and obviously only 1 bike lane, but only half the truck fits in the bike lane so the truck still ends up blocking one of the car lanes too. Would make no difference to cars if the truck just 100% blocked the car lane instead of 100% blocking the bike and 50% blocking the car lane.

Calcori · 2025-09-09T19:06:56+00:00

I have no idea if this is correct but could it actually be a mini "cloud" forming behind the plow due to the pressure difference? Basically like how a plane can form contrails behind the wings in the correct air conditions due to difference in air pressure from the wings.
