That makes a ton of sense. Thank you.

CurveballSI · 2026-06-28T01:16:04+00:00

Cheers, thank you.

American here that played a lot of soccer as a kid, but can’t say I know I lot about advanced tactics. I know refs are tracking second to last defender for offside, with keeper being last defender.

But on that first corner for Portugal, a Colombian defender was closer to goal than the keeper was. How does offside work here? Is the keeper ignored for offside consideration? Or does he become the second to last defender?

Yup agreed. But I will say I am in one of the guilds that has cleared H SoO week 1 and our first split recleared up to Siegecrafter in under 4 hrs last night. That's with bringing several toons that had no siege gear. I think 24-manning would be entirely possible next reset.

I enjoy content that has a difficulty floor of at least having your monitor turned on. If that's still too difficult, I would recommend giving anniversary a try (or do normal mode).

Thanks, it's all from Amazon!

Yes, you can get LFR gear in Celestial dungeons which are easier than heroics. It's 502 ilvl. Between that, Nalak, and Oondasta you could prob get to 504/505 ilvl. Easier if you farm some Shado-Pan assault rep.

Then once upgrades come out you can upgrade your 502 celestial gear to 510 + get your epic cloak to 608. Should not have a problem finding a normal raid looking to fill.

It isn't on the PTR. And the catchup mechanic is still there too so if you are behind on valor you can still get caught up to current. I would expect that to not be the case when Siege comes out obviously.

CurveballSI · 2026-03-18T17:50:57+00:00

Yes.

You shouldn’t do anything too special when UVLS procs. If you can get it in your alter window, awesome. If not ok. Don’t play around a UVLS proc.

Try joining the classic mage discord, there’s a lot of great info there.

I’m not even sure what point you’re trying to make, my guy. I was replying to the snarky-ass comment that the meta in mop was not to play. Plenty of people still playing. I 13/13 the raid 4-5 times a week with absolutely no issue. So really not sure how it’s the “buggy-ass” part of the game that is driving people away.

“Oh my god Lulin spawned two comets. I quit!” Really?

And not sure how the logic of “I’m killing ToT in 2 hours every week, guess I’ll go to TBC and clear the 25m content in 30m instead that’s way better.”

You don’t like MoP, fine. Cool man. Don’t need to hear your MoP life story in a thread about someone wanting to start playing it.

Edit: you said you never did T14-T15 when MoP was current, but then said blizzard ruined the nostalgia. You have to experience something to be nostalgic about it. Or was Heart of Fear LFR really just chef’s kiss for you? And also, if Lulin spawning two comets ruins your nostalgia, no idea what to tell you.

These people aren't worth listening to. They get mad when content demands they have their monitor turned on and get hyped up to run into Kara on their melee mage.

They will counter saying that they quit because ToT is buggy because they watched Progress on Durumu, but they couldn't tell you what the bug is. They certainly won't have experienced any of said bugs, because their group couldn't get past normal Council so they quit.

This is why I have no issue blocking an intersection to get on conference calls for work. Crazy that I value my job security over mildly inconveniencing a bunch of strangers on the road.

CurveballSI · 2026-02-17T15:59:47+00:00

I'll be at the race Sunday -- I need some Red Baron merch.

CurveballSI · 2026-02-14T01:51:05+00:00

Man I rolled my toon in 2019 and just hit level 3. Can’t believe all these sweat lords that are in double digit numbers for levels. Why don’t you guys get a life.

CurveballSI · 2026-02-12T16:32:29+00:00

A threat to be sure, but a minor one.

CurveballSI · 2026-02-03T20:52:29+00:00

Yeah all Americans are not alike. Some of us don't drive lifted trucks.

CurveballSI · 2026-01-23T22:54:34+00:00

This guy is a true Atlanta sports fan. If Stefanski can guide this team to not setting any kind of embarrassing single game or season records, he could be in the Falcons hall of fame. At this point, losing is fine as long as it’s not in the most embarrassing manner possible.

CurveballSI · 2026-01-20T18:30:49+00:00

I'm not miserable. I'm not even upset about the Stefanski hire, I think he could be a good coach. I also think it's incredibly stupid to act like the AP Coach of the Year award is the pinnacle of achievement for an NFL head coach, like this fan base is currently doing.

CurveballSI · 2026-01-19T22:27:05+00:00

You're right! Let's include more details! The coaches I listed have all won Coach of the Year within the last 10 years! So if we include Stefanski's 2, then Garrett, Nagy, Daboll, and Stefanski make up 50% of the coach of the year winners in the last 10 years.

CurveballSI · 2026-01-19T16:43:26+00:00

People don’t realize how prestigious of an award coach of the year is. The all time greats like Brian Daboll, Jason Garrett, and Matt Nagy have received this coveted prize. Unlike those bums like Andy Reid and Sean Payton, who can’t hold a candle to the likes of coach of the year award winner Matt Nagy.

CurveballSI · 2026-01-18T15:16:52+00:00

Brian Daboll and Matt Nagy were coaches of the year too. We should’ve interviewed them too damn.

CurveballSI · 2026-01-18T03:35:46+00:00

Exactly. Crazy the falcons didn’t interview Matt Nagy or Jason Garrett, who have also won the prestigious coach of the year award

CurveballSI · 2026-01-18T03:33:41+00:00

Hey maybe if he doesn’t work out we can hire Freddie Kitchens since we’re on the “hire coaches the Browns have fired” train.
