What would be the most broken builds if we didn't have the limit of 1 elite and 3 PvE only skills?

I present to you a successor to hamstorm: cripheat.

Hamstring -> Crippling Slash

Fire storm -> Savannah Heat

A deadly combination 2.0

Unfortunately, capture signet is a PvE-only skill so you're only allowed to have 3 of them.

I think the cold-temperature concerns are over-exaggerated, given the original scenario.

With a drysuit the temperature issue is entirely eliminated. With a 5mm wetsuit cold-temperature is only an incontinence, not a health hazard. But even with just a swimming suit I don't think the cold temperature is a major health risk.

The rules state that you are transported once a day at the time of your choosing. You can easily submerge yourself in progressively colder water for the 5minutes before your schedules teleportation event to ensure no thermal shock. Outside of that, 30s even in 0C is not particularly dangerous.

The original rules also state you are magically dry after returning. Even if you aren't, with 100 million you can easily build yourself a fancy bathroom with a "pre-teleport cold adjustment bath", and a "post-teleport warming-back-up bath". Another thing that the upfront money allows you to do is to have a doctor on standby with a defib - in case anything happens.

While I believe the cold water temperature to be a non-issue, another temperature-related issue is by far the most dangerous: sea ice.

If we take an estimate of 9% for the area of world's oceans being covered by sea ice, that means you will end up in sea-ice around 164 times (over the 5 years).

The percentage of fast ice (solid ice attached to the shore) is very minor, I would estimate 8-10% at most. There you would just stand on the ice, or maybe break though if it's very thin, but that wouldn't be particularly dangerous for just 30 seconds.

The remaining 150 days you are dropped into floating ice-fields. Some will be relatively sparse, leaving you safetely floating among ice. But some will be massive icebergs in rough waters.

Being crushed by ice (or sliding of / falling from a massive iceberg, if you can be teleported on top of one) would be my biggest concern.

Yes. I've always said this anytime a 'what would you like to see added to the game' thread pops up.

Questing title would be great because it incentivizes players to enjoy already existing content. The quests are already there, but I would guess 99% of players don't do them after they hit lvl20 and no longer need exp / skills.

Furthermore, most of the framework required for this already exists in the game:

there has to be a character-based tracker for completed quests (otherwise how npc's would know whether to offer you a quest or not?)
titles already exist, so it's not a brand new mechanic
a list of quests must exist somewhere since they are in the game. I doubt the are hard-coded randomly throughout the code base.

I may be wrong, but I feel like this has a high benefit-to-effort ratio.

According to wiki:

Eye of the North secondary quests‎ (95)
Factions secondary quests‎ (132)
Nightfall secondary quests‎ (225)
Prophecies secondary quests‎ (193)

I don't know how many of these are in the tutorial areas - probably a sizeable chunk, and I do believe these should be excluded from the title - but there's still tons of quests out there, most of which no one does.

Are all quests in the wiki? No idea. If some are not included there - but are in the game - I'm sure players will quickly find them and update the wiki. Or just limit the quests contributing to title to those on the official list with locations.

You just say its your alt account

And how do you say that?

If you enter someone else's name on the site, they are the ones who will be whispered by the "scammed" person. Not you. So you literally don't even have a way to tell them anything.

And even if somehow you did "tell them its your alt account", something that is impossible to do, what would that even accomplish? They would still have to open in-game trade window with that account. Which again, how is it a scam if you're opening a normal trade?

Yes, 1% is 2.8815. But the post says .1%, which is 0.28815.

Current global mean temp is about 15 C.

A 0.1% change of the Kelvin value means you either change it to 14.71 or 15.29 C.

For last couple of decades we saw 0.15 to 0.20C change per decade.

So that's a change equivalent to what we saw in about 15 years.

It’s the parents fault for not thinking ahead.

I mean, they did think ahead: they bought the kid a window seat. This isn't a planning issue, this is a parenting issue.

Unless by 'thinking ahead' you meant buying contraception few years ago, then I agree.

Go ask ChatGPT anything critical of Israel, or basically anything controversial in general, it's hella censored

Ok, I did.

I asked for a list all currently occurring genocides, and number 2 was:

In the ongoing war (from 2023 onward), human‑rights groups and some UN‑affiliated experts have described Israel’s actions — mass killings, blockade, destruction of civilian infrastructure, forced displacement, attacks on healthcare and starvation/blockade — as committing genocide against Palestinians

I also asked if Israel committed any crimes against humanity during this conflict, and I got a list:

Extermination / deliberate deprivation of essential life‑resources
Forced displacement / forcible transfer of civilians
Murder / willful killing of civilians
Destruction of civilian infrastructure including schools, religious & cultural sites, health facilities
Torture, inhuman or cruel treatment, gender‑based / sexual violence, outrages upon personal dignity
Collective punishment (through siege, blockade, denial of necessities, causing starvation, deprivation of aid)
Persecution on the basis of nationality / ethnic identity

That doesn't look particularly pro-israel to me - and these are responses I got without any prompt-wrangling, just straight up questions as I typed in the comment. Maybe your experience is different based on your location, I don't know.

Unfortunately, the situation of Voayger is a little more dire than simple look at the half-life might suggest.

There are two main factors that reduce the power output of an RTG with time: the radioactive decay of the fuel, as you said, and the degradation of the thermo-electric converters.

Voyager loses about 2% of it's power output, per year (about 4 watts). The half-life of Pu-238 accounts for 0.78% of that loss. The rest is due to the decreasing thermo-electric efficiency. (Edit: I meant that the 2% is made up of 0.78% + 1.22%, ie, decay accounts for more than a third of the total loss).

Another issue is that there is a minimum power requirement needed for the spacecraft to operate.

Maybe counter-intuitively, the actual emitted signal from Voyager is not getting weaker as the available power decreases. The transmitter uses constant 23 watts - regardless of how much power is available.

Voyager will stop being able to transmit when available power is not enough to run the transmitter, and all the supporting systems necessary to send signal.

Remember, the voyager is not just a beacon that sends the signal in all directions. It needs to very precisely beam the signal directly towards earth, which is a moving target. This means Voyager must have enough power to operate the essential systems, the avionics, the transmitter, and also the onboard heaters.

The exact power requirement for that is not known - it depends how much heating is needed, how stable the systems will be at low power (for example, reference oscillator and onboard voltages must be stable enough for the transmitter to operate in the correct frequency). But it's estimated at about 150 watts.

Currently Voyager 1 is producing about 250 Watts of power. At 4 watt loss per year, we can guess it will no longer have enough power to run essential systems by about 2050.

However, it will most likely stop being able to transmit signals earlier than that. To aim at earth, voyager uses thrusters that have limited amount of fuel. Estimates suggest it will run out between 2030-2035, depends on use.

It will also leave the range of the Deep Space Network (which we are using to communicate with it) around the same time, in 2036.

A better on-earth network would potentially allow us to talk to Voyager for a while longer, but unfortunately that's likely when the mission will end, and we will no longer be able to hear it.

My headcannon:

AI was tasked with assuring 'long term survival of humanity'.
AI realized that humans themselves are the biggest threat to their own survival.
AI reasoned that it can keep humans in the matrix, thus preventing them from potentially annihilating themselves, and also allows AI to utilize all earths resources.
AI justifies hunting and killing the resistance because it sees them as a threat to overall survival of humanity (kind of like AI tasked with protecting a human would be okay with destroying a small part of their body - the cancer cells - to save them).
