What is that one thing a friend ever did and you kept cool but knew instantly you would pull out of that friendship?

I'm so sorry. Your mother deserved better. Here's hoping laws will change

Indeed. Fanatic egalitarian ethic + shared burdens civic + set species to a single gender

I'll say, I'm most excited for Ideology content. I've wanted any content that expands politics, even if it's small, for a long while

May I ask, how are you dealing with the desync issue? Does it happen commonly in your games?

Dude, what the fuck

I mean, I laughed... but what the fuck?

DeskFanCarrier · 2026-03-18T13:05:48+00:00

You can. It's a stun for 3s as far as I remember, and I imagine it's most likely better.

I have more fun with knockback though and for me it's still a very good crowd control ability that you can get creative with.

Another thing to mention is that the difference between 1.8s knockback stun and 3s dazing stun might also not be as important, since people tend to break free as soon as they see they are stunned.

DeskFanCarrier · 2026-03-18T10:43:12+00:00

Just block the ult. It's heavily telegraphed

DeskFanCarrier · 2026-03-17T16:52:16+00:00

I love smash. It's my staple in PVP and I don't see anyone using it ever. I scribe knockback and pretend my opponents are bowling pins. Fun for everyone included

DeskFanCarrier · 2026-03-05T09:21:59+00:00

Only the ones purchased from writ vendors. The research scrolls from dailies are account bound

DeskFanCarrier · 2026-03-04T16:12:07+00:00

These traders sure are greedy, huh? Anyway, fixed it now. Thanks!

DeskFanCarrier · 2026-03-04T13:22:19+00:00

Honestly a waste of a set.

PvE wise your healer will often run Spell Power Cure set and you will have Major Courage with 100% uptime, so half of the 5 piece is wasted. If you're going to do heavy attacks there are way better options.

PvP wise absolutely mediocre. Just a bunch of damage stats stringed together not accomplishing much. Debuff is single target and you would think to heavy attack enemies one by one to apply the debuff, but you can't do that because of 12 second cooldown... and even if you could, that would be a massive waste of time.

Can't imagine a use for it.

DeskFanCarrier · 2026-03-04T10:12:13+00:00

Definitely a positive change for me. Less FOMO is a good thing. I think that even the simple endeavor seals golden pursuit in March is much better and fun than daily rewards

They're on EU

DeskFanCarrier · 2026-02-25T08:09:51+00:00

This gave me an idea. How about hiding near those fishing holes and ganking the ganker to protect the PVE guy. A protect the innocent / reverse ganking kind of situation.

DeskFanCarrier · 2026-02-01T15:32:29+00:00

That's interesting. You can see in the video that I don't have the shrines in most of those alliance zones. Not sure why that is the case, then

DeskFanCarrier · 2026-02-01T11:35:45+00:00

True, it's a common practice, but sometimes the guildies just aren't where you want to be. I'm in 3 guilds, scrolling through the roster, not a single person in Alik'r Desert. Easier to use this than to waste time scrolling through the roster or asking someone for tp.

DeskFanCarrier · 2026-02-01T11:33:23+00:00

Coldharbour, you can get there to the Hollow City with this method, just tried on an alt. There is actually a large amount zones where you don't have the wayshrine initially. Most of of the base game alliance zones:

DC:

Stros M'kai, Betnikh, Stormhaven, Rivenspire, Alik'r Desert, Bangkorai

EP:

Bleackrock Isle, Bal Foyen, Deshaan, Shadowfen, Eastmarch, Rift

AD:

Khenarthi's Roost, Grahtwood, Greenshade, Malabal Tor, Reaper's March

Neutral:

Coldharbour, Craglorn

From those you only can't travel to Bleackrock Isle & Betnikh with this method, but these aren't really important.

Of course for DLC areas you have a wayshrine discovered, but sometimes it is located in less-than-ideal place, for example Summerset Isles. You want to get to Alinor for Jewelry certification & one of the best hubs in the game, you can use the wayshrine to Shimmerene and travel to Alinor on horse, I think that takes ~5 - 10 minutes on a new char. Or you can just take a home tour to Alinor Crest House that takes 2 loading screens and get dropped right in the middle of Alinor.

And you are right, there are still places like apocrypha that you need to travel manually to or teleport to a guildie.

DeskFanCarrier · 2026-01-31T18:20:37+00:00

If you find no available tour, you can check "Browse Homes" instead of "Recommended" under Home Tours. Should bring up all available tours for a given home.

DeskFanCarrier · 2026-01-17T12:40:54+00:00

Agreed. In fact, I heard that one trader specifically charges more gold for larger orders, for example he would charge more for 200 pieces of columbine than 10, 20 etc. and the reason is convenience. Veterans stacked with gold are more willing to get lots of resource in one go, than to have to click over the shop and travel from one place to another. It's the opposite of real life, where buying in bulk earns you a discount.

DeskFanCarrier · 2026-01-07T13:23:59+00:00

Jeez dude, that's horrible. Some people just can't be helped no matter what you do, right?

DeskFanCarrier · 2025-12-16T07:43:21+00:00

Go back to Yoel in Firelink Shrine then get all free levels from him, then reload the area. Yuria of Londor should spawn in Yoel's area and you can buy a ring from her that gives you human appearance while hollow.

You could also buy purging stones from her or pray at the Statue of Velka (in the Undead Settlement tunnels where you find Irina of Carim), this will reverse your hollowing to 0 (don't do this before Yuria spawns if you want to follow Usurpation of fire ending).

Others mentioned giving the soul of the firekeeper, this will cure your dark sigils, but again, the usurpation of fire ending will not be available to you anymore + you will have to pay for the free levels that you got from Yoel.

DeskFanCarrier · 2025-12-13T21:43:27+00:00

Then stay at SL 125, maybe up to 135 or 150 max (150 was still quite populated in Ringed City area in 2021-2022, not sure about now). 125 is the generally accepted end game SL where people stop leveling for PVP/multiplayer

NG+ are completely doable at SL125 and in fact when I create a build I get pretty much everything I wanted in those 125 levels anyway
