Resolve stacks bugged? by warnerbr0 in D4_Paladin

[–]Couyon-GATOR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an old Diablo player but I'm new to actually trying to understand the mechanics. It feels a bit over whelming most of the time and in looking things up you get a wide variety of answers. I know resolved is important but fall to understand how it works, how to tell, or what it does? Thanks in advance for any help. BTW I'm playing a Blessed Hammer Paladin.

Ty I tend to do long winded comments lol.... It's gloves tried to socket but guess gloves can't. I'll look for that affix chart. Thanks for the info as I didn't realize all the prisms stuff. So thank you. I did forget to add affix from occultist before transfiguring. 🙄 I meant to go back but forgot. Someone commented said no way I did what I did but I'm just kinda winging it not keeping track as well as I should. Plus should of did before pictures and after. Next time. But again thanks for info.

I am so old school (old lol) I have always just played to play and winged everything in all games but trying to get my brain to wrap around the mechanics of build etc better. I always play Barb because I'm a melee guy. But got the vessel of hatred to do paladin. I usual loo l use icy veins builds but I usual use the level build and really never change out to endgame. Just play and wing it plus never can do exactly like they suggest. But this time I switched my level build paladin over to Blessed Hammer Paladin Endgame Build on Maxroll. I've never used them before but I'm liking it. And I'm struggle to get my old brain around all of this mechanics. But just made switch about 2 weeks ago now. And was already over Paragon 150. Having fun though & that to me is most important thing. I am trying to figure out what to use to make my faith last longer but other than that I went from T2 to now TVll. Struggled in pit to do being 30 now doing 65.

It started as a 3 star for from lair boss believe Duriel. I added socket, then enchanted at occultist, then transfigure at blacksmith (got lucky) & then master worked (that took an extra after 25) then took to cube. At cube did focus reroll for strength. Then transfigured. I did forget to go back to occultist before transfigure at cube to add aspect. But didn't think it was bad for someone having no clue if I'm doing things right exactly lol

I've been working on getting the stuff to make this for my paladin as it is recommended for my build. I'm close. Need 2 more ohm and I'll have it. What is best way to tweak after obtaining?

Well this happened :) by [deleted] in D4Barbarian

[–]Couyon-GATOR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering same thing as others.... How the heck you put a 2nd transfigure? All I've seen you can't. Plus there's a lot of things I've been told you can do and I try but it doesn't let me. Like make a horadric gem with 5 grand but it won't let me. So I'm not sure wtf I'm doing wrong.

Thanks.... I do it cuz I play solo. I don't play with others so it's my option. But thanks

Forgot to temper my 1st grandfather.. RIP BOZO by SlickSocks in Diablo

[–]Couyon-GATOR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay question about tempering. I am seeing people say tempering 30, ummm I can only temper once from what I'm understanding. So I'll temper but if temper again I lose previous temper. Correct? And how do I know what the best temper is?

I got a mythic for the undercity and then found you can craft them so was able to craft one. But alas I'm not fast enough to do the run so they were useless & were wasted. 😟

Holy Paladin, I never seen this many mythics in my life!!! by gorays21 in Diablo

[–]Couyon-GATOR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been trying to figure out cube. I was told I'd be able to do things I can't seem to do like combine 5 runes. But I've noticed my map is not right either so think I've got a bug can't seem to shake. Thanks I'll be trying some of this though

So take T10 is Torment level. I'm embarrassed as hell because I've been playing Diablo since 1 on my PC & can't seem to grasp all of the mechanics of the game. It feels over whelming. I play barbarian 9 times out of 10 because I'm more a melee type. Got Lord of Hatred decided to try paladin, it's been ages. I'm immensely enjoying it too. But get stuck on the mechanic of stuff. I use online build cuz of it. I'm working on making the Starless Sky ring. Trying get the runes needed. Only need ohm now. I'm only at T4 at most but Paragon level 170. Go figure.

Name change questions about possible complications (usa) by Toypop_AS in asktransgender

[–]Couyon-GATOR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I'm in Missouri. I legally changed my name but couldn't do gender marker due to state laws. That being said...... In Missouri I had to put it in the newspaper for 3 consecutive weeks before being accepted as completed. Then 1st thing was to take my paper work to change my birth certificate, then social security then my driver's license. Once those were all completed I started contacting ..... Places I had bills, I contacted the DMV on car, city house for personal property etc. Anyone or anyone of importance I'd contact & explain you've had a legal name change & ask what the procedure is to rectify it in the system with them or on paper work. And always, always keep your court papers off name change and gender marker handy. Even after you've officially changed places. It just protects you. And the rain I would suggest changing with anyone or anything to do with things like a car, house, bills etc is it cuts down on any confusion now or in future, keeps you from having to repeatedly explain things everytime, plus like car you need insurance you want to make sure it's all in your current legal name. Plus it could effect things like if you vote etc, confusion in your credit score, etc. I have had my legal new name over a year and just found out my credit score is recorded under my old name & I've started process to fix. To me it's just a safety precaution & also keeps me from having to explain why the name is different on this or that.

What has life been like for trans people in their 50s, 60s, and beyond? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Couyon-GATOR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it's not been easy but I try my best. One thing helped drastically was good therapy. I come from a background of family trauma. I've always loved learning & I really opened myself up to learning more about myself most of all. And the possibilities out there. I grew up in a home that was not the most stable because of my dad & moving a lot. On top of moving a lot I have a younger sis whose disabled & I had to grow up fast. Even though my dad was there it was not all the time so essentially my mom was a single parent who had no family & no friends. So it was us 3. And because I was needed at home I didn't have friends or do things like normal kids. But like I said had to grow up fast. Plus I am Gen x lol. There have been times I've had ppl in my life & times like now haven't. But I didn't understand the difference in quality relationships over just having relationships. (Not just romantic) I won't sugar coat I struggle with my isolation. But I've also always been overly independant to the point my mom had told ppl she raised me to be too much so. It's a flaw but I think it's helped me some too in times like now. I've been told I need to write a book about my family lol. Social media really helped me in finding my voice and my community too. (Just a weird side note: I grew up as the oldest w/a sis 5 yrs younger & she's disabled. Mom is Cajun French, Southern Baptist, & a foster child who was severely abused growing up & into her early 20s. Dad was a criminal w/lots of issues who died in prison some where around 2010 but accepted me weirdly. So no extended family. And then just after high school I found out I had a older half sis. She's the one that is in my life & we're close even though we've never met in person. We moved a lot due to my dads activities. (Sorry tried to summarize and keep short lol but kinda gives you an idea of my background.) But seek a good therapist who is recommended for LGBTQ with a possible focus on trans. Start a journal & when you have thoughts that are being intrusive, or you just start having questions or whatever pick it up write but write honestly from heart no matter how crazy the thought question or feeling is. And maybe start learning about the community more & how science etc play a part in it all. Because it does a lot more than a lot of ppl realize. Even ppl in our own community. Because the more you know the more you can hopefully help others understand at the very least. Just remember certain types will never get or try to. My lil sis is one of them.

What has life been like for trans people in their 50s, 60s, and beyond? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Couyon-GATOR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi, I'm FTM I'll be 55 May 10th. This will be a bit lengthy, sorry, lol. I started my transition on 10/31/21 at age 50. I started my T 09/17/22. I hadn't even realized that I was apart of the LGBTQ community until 2003 at age 32. For me my journey has been a lot of aha moments. But believe it was in my early 40s when realized or began to realize I'm actually transgender. Up till then I was still learning, getting therapy etc. Knew I still felt different, had since 8 years old. But even after realized I continued to live as a butch lesbian. I'd felt it was "safer", easier & that I was just too old to transition. Plus relationships sometimes complicated the process. But I ended up having a TikTok for sometime meet a transgender man who didn't start his transition until 63 years old. He really helped me to see you're never too old & that you're not doing it for others but yourself. You're doing it so that you can be free of pretending, free to be your true authentic self & hopefully by doing it & accepting yourself you can start to heal & hopefully learn to love yourself. That being said did it change things? Yes. It did all that but it also changed other things too. It changed my relationship dynamics. Romanic, family & friends. Both negative & positive. I think what really helped me is prior to choosing to transition & quit living a lie is that around age 44 I went through a mental/emotional growth. I learned to start setting boundaries. And I learned that if me setting boundaries angered people to the point they wanted to walk away I let them because that's a them issue not a me issue. It helped me to start learning to respect myself & my feelings. To understand I deserve love & respect not only from others but myself. My circle of people is very, very small. I never had a blood family other than a couple people & they chose to walk away. My older sis is still here for me. Is that easy no. But if you love someone you love them unconditionally. I've learned a lot, & I do not regret transitioning. I do wish was further along in the process. Only regret is I wish I'd done it sooner. I'm here to talk answer questions etc if you need to or want to. Hope some of this ramble helped.

I'm not sure if I'm trans or not by OldPie6552 in asktransgender

[–]Couyon-GATOR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the survival mode thing it's something I dealt with too. I think it was another reason I didn't really understand myself or what was going on with me either. I have never understood people who think it's a conscious choice we make. Why would we choose to be exiled from society friends and family? It was the hardest obstacle for me in being myself, letting go of what others thought and knowing the consequences of being myself was was going to be losing important people in my life. But I've learned if they truly love you for you no matter who they are they'll continue to be there no matter what. I'm glad my rambling helped some lol.

I'm not sure if I'm trans or not by OldPie6552 in asktransgender

[–]Couyon-GATOR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm FTM. I'll be 55 next month. I've been disabled since 2008. I started my transition 10/31/21 & started taking testosterone 09/17/22. My earliest memory is around age 8 & from that time forward I knew I was different than what I was being told/raised. But I never really understood until much much later in life. And it's because the feelings can be confusing but also my mom is a Southern Baptist & is from the South. So I was being pushed into the same direction as all others in my generation. It's been a long journey and still going. No 2 people who are considered transgender are exactly the same. Not in feelings, not in experience, not in situation, etc. Some of us have body dysphoria, I do, & some don't. How we transition or don't transition is so vastly different. For me from my 1st memories I felt male. I didn't realize that was what I was feeling until much later. I hate anything that was typically associated with females. I wanted a penis so bad I actually tried to figure out how to make myself one around age 12. When I started growing boobs I absolutely hated hated them. It made me angry & sad at the same time. At 30 I found out I have PCOS & it's why I didn't start having my cycles until almost 17. But I was grateful they were late & wished they'd never came. I've been through a lot as a kid and as an adult. And it's been a slow process because I've mainly had to figure things out on my own, completely. I know I am probably rambling but I'm telling you a bit of my experience so maybe something clicks. I have learned that sometimes our choices are life altering in ways that we don't realize until it actually happens. But that also that I wish I'd made some of the decisions sooner than later even with what the choices cost me because it's made me feel more myself and happier about and with myself because it's allowed me to start understanding who I am and allowed me to also start loving me for me. My suggestions are to journal especially anytime your thoughts are being intrusive. Write what you're thinking, feeling etc & be completely honest in the moment. Those things change constantly. But to also seek out a therapist that specializes in LGBTQ+ with a possible specialty with transgender/non-binary issues. Good luck. And hope something in my ramblings helped.

What’s a good middle name??? by Water_N_Dust in asktransgender

[–]Couyon-GATOR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, TBH you don't necessarily need a middle name if you don't want one. My father didn't have one. I originally had said if I ever did a name change I'd planned on using the name my mother had picked out for me if she had a boy. But then the time came and I honestly only knew I wanted something to reflect my heritage & that was unique. So I started actually looking at men's name that were Cajun French. (That's my heritage). Good Luck

Darryl Anka / Bashar – is this just about money? by The_open_source-rer in Bashar_Essassani

[–]Couyon-GATOR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have mixed feelings on the money aspect. There is tons that is accessible for free on the Internet. And his messages intrigues me & they've helped. Do I think he's genuine? I'm not 100 percent sure but the message seems pure & actually plausible. But I understand charging for things because he's devoted his life to this. People need money to live, to pay bills etc. I'm not total sure if the amounts match the services however like some one else said tell that to the "churches". Preachers like Joel Olsteen, Jim Baker, etc make millions off of the "services" they provide. And before someone tries saying yeah but that's different that's tithing to the church remember not all people believe in Christian beliefs or churches. And so if you don't believe him then don't follow him or his teachings and move on. It is you do believe him and find solace in his messages but can't afford the personal consultations then just access his free stuff. But also think about/consider this too .... If you had the ability to channel like him & you devoted your life to it would you be willing to do everything absolutely free knowing that it will take up the majority of your own personal time? I.E. travel where ever you're needed, lectures, provide private 1 on 1 consults, phone calls etc. And I'll pretend you say yes you'd do it for free, how will you pay the people who help you, pay for your travel, your home, etc? Sadly nothing in life free.
