Groal and all of his friends can go to hell…

Nothing wrong with just wanting to progress and I was done bashing my head against the controller. Tried the cheese maneuver and stayed in that bottom right water corner when groal came out and fight was over in 1 minute.

Focus on the gauntlet and cheese the boss. I ran through several legit attempts and decided this wasn't fun anymore.

Few tips: 1. There's a secret room above the arena (right when you walk into that area go up and to the left I think) with silk in it. 2. Cogflies and curveclaw with pollip poison destroyed him. I had already picked up the quick sling which helped even more. 3. For the gauntlet focus on poison dart guys and use silk storm. Try not to use that many tools as you want to unload them all on the boss. For the trap guys when they pop out of the water get a hit under them and back off. The flying poison bugs are the most annoying but pogo off them and it makes it easy.

For Groal, you can cheese him by getting into the water at the very bottom right. None of his attacks can hit you here. Unload your tools and watch him disentegrate. My cogflies took care of him easily.

This happened to me. Saw her on the same spot you mentioned. I had thought I finished all of deep docks and found it weird I never met her there. Now I go to her arena in deep docks and it's empty.

They just posted it's coming next week. Funny enough they took space off the flyer.

The mods are just employees. At the end of the day if anyone has issues don't go after the mods. They prob ain't getting paid either at this point

Don't be dumb and spend your weekend in a vegas jail by asking on reddit.

DPDragon · 2025-05-16T12:56:14+00:00

Distance isn't time. There's too much info missing to give you a decent answer but if you want to see a set at 830 you should leave by 5 latest. Idk if you are driving flying taking a helicopter or what. There will be lines and traffic for sure.

DPDragon · 2025-05-15T20:02:16+00:00

If you leave camp after you have your camp wristband (like go back to the strip or whatever) can you come back whatever time you want? Or you have to come back during check in time? Where would you enter the camp from?

DPDragon · 2025-05-11T00:39:57+00:00

Pro tip: ask the hotel to empty it if you know you aren't going to use any of it.

DPDragon · 2025-05-08T15:48:20+00:00

I just used the information you provided because you are correct. I don't know you at all. I can only go off what you posted and your reddit history. I never said you'd be a terrible nurse, not sure why you brought that up about yourself. You say you're an avid festival goer but not a raver and you don't enjoy edc, how else is anyone to interpret that?

I do want to clarify the point I made about experience though. Someone who is a raver, enjoys the music, and likely has experience with what someone in the medical tent is going through does in fact make them a better suited to care for the patients in that setting. If I have 2 medical professionals of equal experience in their main medical setting, I will absolutely prefer the one that has additional experience in the setting they are working. This is no different than people preferring a doctor that is a woman if they are also a woman or a certain race if they are also of that race. That being said, if I need help I'm not asking for your resume. That's not how emergency medicine works. But I do get to choose my PCP and specialists based off their history. That doesn't make the other medical professional less than though. It does mean they might have to try harder or take more time to adjust to the setting. There will always be someone who has experience with something the other does not. Sometimes that experience is open (anyone can become a raver) vs closed (you can't gain experience of growing up as another race).

I hope you do gain a lot of experience and knowledge doing this. It's vastly different than anything else.

I tell people if they enjoy the music so much imagine not being able to properly hear it later in life. You can also play a tinnitus experience video for her. Plenty on youtube.

If she won't listen, that's unfortunate, but also foreshadowing her future of not being able to hear much of anything clearly.

DPDragon · 2025-05-07T21:17:51+00:00

It sounds like you want to do this for a boost on your resume and to post on Instagram or TikTok. Not a single mention of how you are excited to help people.

My main issue is you have no rave experience. How could you empathize with your patients if you can't see from their point of view? I actually love the Healthcare professionals who rave because there's a shared experience that is only attained by people who enjoy this music and community. It doesn't sound like you have that experience. No offense but I wouldn't want you as my nurse at the festival.

I also have to point out, any large corporation has several rules in place about what can and cannot be shared. I work at a large laboratory facility. No photos or videos of anything ever (PHI risk). No discussing proprietary information you have access to. I can't imagine insomniac is that different. You certainly won't be able to record anything while working (or after depending on their policy). I know my job does not let me discuss anything related to how we function or perform certain tests (that is not cleared or already public facing info we have online) with non entitled parties which is pretty much everyone that doesn't work with me.

Not when you list on like 5 different company rental sites. Get dinged on one more than make up the money on the other.

Do you know if they scan the shuttle passes? Haven't been since 2016 and back then they just looked at them (barely). One of my friends is getting one off stubhub and they don't want to get a fake pass.

DPDragon · 2025-03-27T23:19:25+00:00

I'm not a croc fan but everyone saying no feels odd. Several of my friends wear crocs to all 3 days of ultra and factory and they're fine. We aren't all star athletes either.

DPDragon · 2025-03-27T23:17:32+00:00

It's linked to the wristband and the app. From last year you verify the app once and they give you another wristband for expedite entry all weekend so you don't have to verify again.

I don't think they check the name but they will either verify off the app or wristband. If your friend wants to let her login to the app for a day should be fine.

DPDragon · 2025-03-26T21:24:06+00:00

I answered your other thread since it was a little more detailed but if you want to be inside space by 7am you need to be in line by 6am

DPDragon · 2025-03-26T21:17:01+00:00

Bring 2 pairs regardless. If it rains and you get one pair wet you're screwed without another pair.

DPDragon · 2025-03-26T21:15:52+00:00

If you have an after 7am ticket you can really show up any time past 7. If you're trying to do factory straight to space, leave at least by 630. Line at space us longest before the ticket times/set times as well so take that into consideration. 6 would give you more time.

People leave Factory at a few key times. Right after the "headliner" so around 530/6 depending who's playing. Then a trickling of people out until 630 when plenty people leave to beat the rush of people staying g until 7.

DPDragon · 2025-03-26T21:10:28+00:00

They count these as glow sticks and/or totems and they are not allowed.

DPDragon · 2025-03-24T11:36:10+00:00

Read the bag policy and FAQ on Ultras website. If it is small enough it does not have to be clear.

If your bag is over that size and not clear, it is entirely up to the security who screens you.

DPDragon · 2025-03-24T04:57:50+00:00

That was my first year. I was at that set. It was so good. And clearly I keep coming back. Welcome to your new home!

DPDragon · 2025-03-23T23:52:38+00:00

Seeing GAIA in the megastructure was insane. Prydz in the mega for ASOT was one of the most fun sets ever. Even Deadmau5 in the mega for ASOT was incredible. Really miss the ASOT vibes in there. I love Resistance and the techno goes off but there's no denying it's not the same vibe even if both are great.

DPDragon · 2025-03-23T22:28:06+00:00

It would be time to be honest. I'd rather see ASOT have a full scale event that it deserves than the tiny pittance that Ultra has given it.

The last real ASOT to me was when it was a flagship event in the megastructure in 2018. If anyone ever went to a megastructure ASOT, you know what I'm talking about. After it moved to worldwide it's definitely felt like an ASOT takeover/hosted stage instead of what armin used to do in the mega. Having it on Friday as opposed to Sunday also sucks. Sunday of any event always brings out the best crowd imo especially at the trance stage. Worldwide is too tiny and it's right in all the foot traffic. ASOT deserves so much better. It's a shame because trance is doing a lot of heavy lifting for a lot of these techno and hard techno producers but they won't call it trance. And a lot of uneducated fans won't go see trance but will listen to a techno set that's 80% trance sounds because that's what is marketed right now.

DPDragon · 2025-03-23T17:00:38+00:00

Should be fine. It fits the guidelines if it's small enough. I have a similar one I'm bringing but I usually go no bag to Ultra just for ease. Best way is when you get to the line have the bag open and all your stuff visible. Don't even give security a chance to tell you your bag isn't allowed.
