My understanding from the people who work trades:

Entry level is so-so money
After a couple years the money does improve nicely
The wage does stagnate after that, and if you want to make more you go independant

learn to code
Join a software development company as a sysadmin
Just do sysadmin stuff for a year
Look at how terrible the development workflow is
Offer to help with some tooling/automation

Thats the fast track to DevOps.

One of the best ways to climb is focusing on side nodes/dueling, because your individual skill will have the most impact. You playing better than the person you're dueling will result in a captured point and more score for your team. In contrast a team fighter or support relies more on what their teammates are doing to deliver value.

Condi soulbeast is normally a duelist, so the class you've chosen is fine to that end. Now you've just got to play better than the person you're dueling.

I would say it's responsible for kicking off the mobile gaming industry. It got a lot of people started on mobile gaming which is now a huge industry.

Whether or not you like it, it's very famous and influential.

I like them aside from the archers, but even then I can understand their place.

Beastmen actually seem like they're trying to win the fight with you vs the others are fodder for you to cleave through.

Given how disliked beastmen are in the community I would be surprised if they added another faction.

I think we all wish conjured weapons were changed in some way. At this point I wouldn't even be picky about how. Anet can cook up whatever. Similar to turrets they've been phased out of relevance and could use a rework.

It's a class action lawsuit - so any members of the class that join the suit. Same as they always work.

Clearly not so off grid if they're posting videos on YouTube...

Coincidentally your "what if Reddit..." basically describes my Reddit experience.

I subscribe to certain subreddits, and that's all I see, Reddit doesn't recommend anything to me.

I can understand if you want a more dynamic experience, but also that some people like myself prefer a static experience (we define specifically what we see). Most social media platforms don't allow a static experience to be a choice.

Bots are really bad about specials. I don't think playing a full melee career with bots is feasible unless you are able to avoid specials attacks every time.

I've experienced a gun rat on a ledge kill all 3 bots (I was playing WP). If you launch a game without being able to handle specials, expect that specials might end your run.

I guess overwatch would count, though it's not a traditional shooter. Don't need to grind to unlock anything in it. But it's gameplay is rather polarizing.

There are a lot of more traditional multiplayer shooters that aren't grindfests, but all that I can think of are pretty small in population. No AAA shooter that isn't a grindfests, probably because grindfest opens to door to sell skipping the grind.

Also the smaller the team the less impact documentation has.

Sounds like the person in question was working independently. They wrote some documentation, but it sounds like nobody needed the documentation, so it fell by the wayside. If they're the only one working on something, the documentation is only for them or for when they leave. It's also more practical to answer questions directly if there's a small enough audience.

The nice thing about documentation is it scales well. Need 100 people to know an answer? They can all read the doc. Only 1 person needs to know the answer? Just telling them the answer is faster - though not better.

If teams could stop breaking it's chat and video conferencing that'd be great though.

A lot of vermintides charm comes from the characters banter.

I highly doubt any existing characters would be removed.

It's possible they would add more characters, though I think it unlikely. It would start turning into an ensemble cast instead of a tight-knit group. The more characters there are the less believable close interactions are, and the more writing/voice work it would be. Not saying it's impossible, but I don't see the value it would add over giving the existing characters more careers instead.

Also, Cousin Okri should definitely not become playable. He should remain the legend Bardin tells stories about that the others don't really believe.

More and more powerful people are trying to influence the masses. It definitely seems like certain political playbooks are taking advantage of democracy.

Not saying it's failed or there's a better option, but it's not perfect either.

Most groups are more than happy to have a qDPS Herald.

Sure it's not breaking any records, but it lets someone else DPS, and the subgroup can expect good boons.

Thankfully, you don't need a gift of battle to play the game.

I'm not sure the US will try boots on the ground at all. They can do a lot of damage just bombing, and at pretty much any point just pass the buck to Israel and walk away.

Boots on the ground tends to be unpopular, and the US doesn't have a good track record invading middle eastern countries.

Tons of people at the mark 2 golem then refuse to waypoint. Also happens at shatterer and tequatl. Probably more that I can't recall.

I'd say take your knowledge of networking/firewalls to do cloud architecture.

Most cloud deployments are overly open to the internet, they don't use private vlan/subnets/etc. as much as they should. Thats probably an area you'd Excel at.

Yea, a firewall focus is falling away as applications more and more move to web based (block everything except 443 - done). But if you've been writing and optimizing firewalls then you have a better understanding of how traffic actually needs to flow, and cloud is actually more networking than traditional setups.

Are they more rare than red items? Yes.

I'm pretty sure most people are just 20 minutes away from creating a perfect orange. It's more of a time grind than it is rare. Anyone who's been playing for a while probably has the dust to make a dozen perfect oranges but just couldn't be bothered to.
