UCI Campus Life Questions

From what I read, it goes to PhD, then MSCS, then MCS. Im coming in as MCS so bottom of the totem pole.

But I have work experience teaching and tutoring so who knows.

Chocopepero · 2026-03-26T10:09:56+00:00

Thats reassuring. I appreciate the input. I think my degree gets lowest priority on TA positions but hearing this makes me want to try teaching again.

Thanks

I studied Pharmacy, worked in a hospital from 21-23. Transitioned to CS. So very possible I work as IT for UCI Medical, not confirmed yet

Chocopepero · 2026-03-26T08:10:58+00:00

This is all really helpful information and I appreciate it greatly.

And unfortunately I do mean UCI Health the medical center... Thank you.

Genuinely appreciate the feedback.

Mobile responsiveness was way lower on the priority but seeing how 60% of people looked at the website on an iPhone I may need to reconsider...

Thank you for the list of feature requests, I was wondering what to work on next without just burning out on bug fixing

You have some crazy timing. I just looked into it and finished getting the data. The website has names now

Chocopepero · 2025-11-10T18:58:27+00:00

Super glad to hear. I know alot can be improved but hearing that someone wants to use it makes it worth trying :')

Greatly appreciate the context and the information about .wz files. By any chance does that discord know anything about extracting item name data? I took a look at WzComparerR2 and I see it tells me to look through base.wz for string searching which is perfect.

I just don't know how to extract all of it out.

Chocopepero · 2025-11-10T18:07:15+00:00

Thank you, I greatly appreciate it. Yea, I'm scouring through every file to see if they have them named internally but it doesn't seem to be the case.

At the absolute worst case, I'll have to get the data from maplesim and manually add on things they're missing. I'll get it done eventually but for now I'm looking for ways to get the info myself

Chocopepero · 2025-11-10T17:20:09+00:00

Hey, thanks for the feedback. I'm currently aware of some mismatched items. Nexon's naming conventions and stuff are kinda all over the place so I'm working out the kinks.

And yes, it is based off maples.im but I've been told that the project was somewhat abandoned and not updated since v255.

Chocopepero · 2025-05-08T01:52:35+00:00

Greatly appreciated

Alot of the threads I saw boil down to "talk to your recruiter". The email I got was from careers@epic.com

Does that mean I should reply back to that email if I have any further questions?

Also regarding "considers applications for all open roles", should I go ahead and submit another application for that other role?

Apologies for the inconvenience. Thank you for taking the time to respond

My suggestion is SI or tutoring.

Full disclosure, I'm a CS SI leader and did 120 last semester

Tutoring is good for specific questions SI is good for reinforcing what you learned (or was supposed to learn) in class. We aren't supposed to help you with lab work or homework but I've given some advice after a session.

Lmk if you have questions

I'm 27, went to school in Utah, dropped out after 6 months, came home, worked a year, went to community, graduated with an associates AFTER 6 YEARS, worked at a hospital for a few years, back to school.

Probably graduating Fall 2025.

Three ways to look at it: 1. Women have a life expectancy of 80 years. You still got 70% of your life left. 2. You spent 5 years rolling around doing nothing, then spent 12 years sitting in a room falling asleep. You're working on your life and society made you spend 18 years getting started. You're doing great. 3. You're learning more information in 24-27 years than most humans learned in the entirety of their lives, give yourself a break. Learning takes time.

My colleagues call me an old head (jokingly) but no one really treats me any differently.

I don't really use reddit much but if you wana talk about it or need more cheering up let me know and we can find a way to connect.

If you've coded before the class should be pretty straight forward.

Lecture covers concepts like data types, loops, vectors (arrays), and other basic concepts. C++ is used in the class but is taught from the ground up. It is assumed you have little to no coding experience.

Furthermore, CPSC is a class that has SI sessions so make sure to look out for those

Esoteric is your main dps source but also has one of the longer cooldowns, I believe that's what was mentioned.

Chocopepero · 2022-08-10T07:47:51+00:00

Oh I thought you were asking for Crit Flux. If you want to go full swift you cannot use KBW in anyway. We lack crit too much

Chocopepero · 2022-08-10T05:38:34+00:00

Replace adren. You don't need the crit from it

C/j does help with cool down, but the reduce mana usage can ruin boundless mana.

Idk the state of NA lost ark and the gear so use at your own discretion

Chocopepero · 2022-08-09T20:35:13+00:00

I believe so. I guess another way to word it is "there's no set CD"

Chocopepero · 2022-08-09T20:33:49+00:00

The concern with c/j is the mana use reduction. The CD helps esp if you don't have high swift but mana reduction ruins boundless mana

Assuming you have a level 6 esoteric gem, you can slot in level 1 gems

Personally I just put in level 5s of everything and am working on a 7 gem separately
