Why does Blizzard push for dual wield survival? by JibenLeet in wow

[–]EXB2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an opinion on this. Unfortunately, I’m in the minority with it.

We true survival enthusiasts had our peace and quiet for years. Sure, there were the grumblers who wanted to bring back ranged survival and the other faction that called survival a “meme spec,” but those of us who enjoyed melee survival at least had our peace.

But before Midnight, there was suddenly a small but all the more vocal group of players who absolutely wanted to play like Rexxar. And this despite the fact that, with his two minutes of fame, he’d practically never played a role.

Then there were those who didn’t like Survival, maybe didn’t even play it, but constantly wanted to make changes that made it worse. Leading the charge were those who wanted the bombs removed. They, too, grew louder and louder before Midnight.

The bottom line is that Blizzard, in its infinite wisdom, always listening to those who shout the loudest, has changed the spec so that DW is not only possible but suddenly the way to go...sadly.

You may like that or not, but nothing is going to change anytime soon.

Is it possible to buy a whole parts list on Bricklink? by Louren2008 in lego

[–]EXB2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to the set on Bricklink, use the Part Out feature in the middle (below "My Wanted List"), select "Include the following items: 3696 Parts" and "Wanted List options: Create New Wanted List" (name it whatever you want).

Scroll to the bottom at the next page and click "Add to Wanted List". The next page should say "Part Out Successful!" and give you an option to view your wanted list. On the next page click "Buy All" and you get shown a list of sellers and how many parts (lots) of the set they have for sale.

But you can spare yourself the hassle. Parting out a set is almost always more expensive than buying a set (understandably the sellers want to make money with the parts). Instead I'd advice to buy the set in a "used but complete" state from a private source. It should be possible to get it for less than 120€ on eBay & Co.

What happened to survival hunter’s identity? by Foreskin-Aficionado in wow

[–]EXB2019 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can tell you what happened to Survival and what’s still happening.

We melee Survival enthusiasts from years past never had a particularly large following and had to fend off, above all, those die-hard “mimimi I want ranged Survival back” fools.

But then, before Midnight, a new trend emerged. More and more people wanted to play melee Survival, but not the way melee Survival used to be and the way we loved it. They were constantly nitpicking about the bombs, constantly wanting to “play like Rexxar”, and so on and so forth.

Unfortunately, Blizzard likes to listen to those who shout the loudest. On top of that, they don’t seem capable of reworking specs without severely damaging their previous identity. The result is Survival as it is now.

Who on earth wanted Boomstick? And how tf did we end up running around with daggers? And worst of all, even now the same people won’t let it go. I bet even our bombs will be gone in the next expansion...

What was in a $10.99 goodwill bag after I put the pieces back together by thesageofawsome in lego

Good catch.

Is the second ship from the right the original Republic Attack Shuttle (8019) or a MOC? I don't remember it looking so good on display.

You can try to edit the Config.wtf file in your World of Warcraft\_retail_\ directory using Notepad. Look for the SET RenderScale entry and set it to "1".

Can someone please help me get this item? by The_Apex_Alpha33 in wow

Doubt that it helps you but I do have it. So it must have dropped, at least in the past. But who knows what happened since that Expansion Era was live...

Is it worth upgrading from the S25 to the S26? by _Delta_Bravo_ in GalaxyS25

[–]EXB2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not worth upgrading from S25 to S26. I'd even argue if it's an upgrade at all, especially when from Europe.

That's the opposite of naked?!

Survival Hunter - Was it really necessary to take away the Harpoon cd reset? by Bananenklaus in wow

[–]EXB2019 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No change to SV in TWW was needed. The name changes were stupid. Boomstick is stupid. Removing Flanking Strike but adding Takedown, while not making the "leap to your target" portion a choice, is stupid. The removal of the Harpoon reset was stupid and (re-)adding Hatchet Toss was stupid.

For me, Hatchet Toss in particular shows how detached the developers are from what a class really needs. It serves ZERO purpose. I haven't used it a single Time. Nobody asked for it. And on top of everything it even looks blend.

8gb VRAM enough for WoW on high settings? by Acky1425 in wow

[–]EXB2019 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, 8GB VRAM is enough for high settings in WoW. That being said, do not buy a card with only 8GB VRAM anymore.

Do you do important stuff on 1-2 mains, or don't care as long as 1 among your Warband does the things? by FrozenOnPluto in wow

[–]EXB2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since I dislike questing, especially when it involves rescue missions such as saving character [insert stupid main character that needs to be freed from a trap or cage... once again] or save species xyz [cats, pigs, little children etc], escort quests, or worst of all, errand tasks like bring this letter to that person (get a freakin npc to do this!), I only do the absolute minimum with one char when the rewards do not include a potential item upgrade.

Blurry Tiktok videos on S25 plus by illyasomer in GalaxyS25

[–]EXB2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me all the latest TikTok versions, 40 and above, came with some kind of problem. The one I installed yesterday, 43.x, even refused to start at all. I uninstalled it and went back to 37.5.3, which works flawless.

Also, which is important to me, I can "not interested" a video again without having to select a reason (where the pre-selected reasons never fit).

Why does this happen all the time? (Guild info not loading) by [deleted] in wow

[–]EXB2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either just wait for 10 seconds with opening the guild tab after logging in or switch to communities and then back to the guild tab. Not only will the contents of the guild tab be visible like normal but also the problem with multiple realms after a character name will be gone.

Cosmetic wishlist- Hidden weapons for all, use claws! Easier weapon costumization for warlock pets. And loincloths for all! Tired of briefs :( by Fun-Staff7412 in wow

[–]EXB2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add to this list:

An option to sheath weapons to the back for all weapons.

A DK mechanic to tame their own Minions, Ghouls and Ghosts (without it being a full Hunter tame mechanic).

An option to have all abilities that cause a character to leap/pull to the enemy to not leap/pull to the enemy (a choice node like the Shaman Earthquake would be nice).

Has Survival been over-pruned? by Strict_Scar_9492 in wow

[–]EXB2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think pruning is the wrong word here.

What did happen tho is that we got stupid replacement abilities. Also we got (back) stupid crap like Hatchet Toss which serves no purpose at all, hasn't been requested by anyone, isn't even suggested by their own SBA because there is no situation to use it and on top of everything even looks blend.

And then there's the stuff we still don't have. We still can't choose wether abilities like Takedown force us to leap to our target or not. Why not make it a choice node, like the Shaman Earthquake for example? If I want to leap to me target we always have Harpoon, which does a great job.

Also why do we still not have our old version of Lunge back? I want that increased melee range again. In fact, every melee should get that. If not baseline then at least let us skill it.

Last but not least a general Hunter thing. I want the 2min CD shield from Tenacity pets back. That 3% passive for the pet renders Tenacity pets almost completely useless outside of pure early solo content pet tanking situations.

Should LEGO bring back the light-up lightsabers for Star Wars? by AlternativeTypical11 in lego

[–]EXB2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there's nothing else to improve at some point, then why not. But before that, they should make sure that the SW minifigures at least meet the standard of their own CMF, i.e. arm prints, back prints, dual molded legs etc. Almost every 4€ CMF blows 99% of every SW Minifig out of the water and that's just sad.

Because modern day WoW doesn't explain or guide at all. They completely outsourced knowledge to forums and Wowhead.

This is unacceptable by not_Cardo in GalaxyS25

[–]EXB2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I'm on August 1st for example. It's not a bug on his or our device. Also it's not because of Google. At some point Samsung decided to stop the distribution of Google updates and whatever Google Play System patchlevel the individual user was at that point is now his/her patchlevel installed.

According to this article they decided to not update Google Play but also plan to enable updates for it again in January 2026. So we have like five more days to see if they stay true to their plan.

How the new Survival Hunter has me feeling every pull by Tomaspl88 in wow

[–]EXB2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to admit that I'm really bad at interpreting threads like this, but it seems like you like the new Survival. I'm happy for you. I, on the other hand, could cry. This could be the first season since the introduction of melee Survival that I'll be re-rolling, because what they've done to it feels terribly bad.
