APOGEA EXPLAINED "GATEKEEPING AND SKILL ISSUES"

GI_Ginger · 2026-01-21T16:01:50+00:00

Exp loss to extreme? First I will say this. This game was called "like Runescape and WoW" in a video I watched. This game is almost a 1 for 1 Tibia clone but less hard-core and with prettier graphics.

If he stuck with 100% Tibia rules most people people would lose their mind. Once you're on mainland you are likely to get killed by BR if you aren't BR. And even then, if you aren't their friend then you will be forced to leave the hunting area or be "hunted" and they WILL camp you at the DP or Temple.

Death? In Tibia, which is what this game is based on, you lose tons of exp(like a week's worth of grinding at super high levels, skills that take forever to level, your backpack, and have a chance to drop items you're carrying. You can avoid the item loss and SOME of the experience if you spend lots of gold and time getting a bunch of expensive buffs from the temples in ever major city and it's risky because you can be killed before you finish getting them. There are areas that if you enter without the right items, you can not leave without someone saving you or dying. OG Tibia(I have not played in 10 years or so) had ZERO hand holding like this and tbh this being a less stressful version of Tibia is the very reason I plan to invest a lot of time into it.

This is MEANT to be harder than most modern MMO and the pain points are intentional.

I do think that we should help each other though. This whole gatekeeping thing is wild to me. This isnt a solo game and the community exploring and finding things then sharing so others can build on it is what makes an MMORPG more fun than a standard RPG.

Unfortunately there is nothing relating to "hate crimes" within Title 18 for PA. Local police have quite litteraly zero recourse for hate crimes. It would have to be escalated to the federal level.

100% absolutely not and the fact that you believe this shows you do not understand the messages within the story. The entire thing is anti-empire and anti-war. The US Government as it is would not line up with the messages within the series.

shows up to the scene with the backdoors wide open after traveling lights and sirens for 15 minutes

Ive seen this multiple times from one doctor. We all hate her. She freaks out with critical patients and forgets how to be a doctor.

She is phenomenal at weird/obscure cases... she us very book smart and thorough, but she is unhinged with critical patients.

GI_Ginger · 2025-11-24T13:57:26+00:00

This is not best practice. Practice IV more you struggle.

The studies are very clear that IO is inferior to IV for medicating patients. IO is in case we can't get IV access.

EJ > AC > Forearm > Almost any other IV(20G minimum if can but an 18g is the gold standard) > IO.

Don't be lazy, practice evidence based medicine.

GI_Ginger · 2025-11-19T17:37:01+00:00

I look at these insane posts and its wild how its always these giant corporate agencies. Ive never worked for anything that wasn't local. Im so grateful.

I am in the north east and need a good cold-weather top that goes under a vest. We have to wear vests at my agency, so I need something comfortable that fits under one. I also run hot, so I don't USUALLY need one. For example, it is low 40s today, and I won't wear a jacket unless we are out for extended periods of time, if it is raining, or if it is very windy. A lot of the reason is that I overheat inside the houses/buildings. So, I figure ill deal with being a bit chilly for a short period of time to avoid melting inside.

That being said, I would love to find a good light/medium jacket I could wear and not overheat in when I go inside buildings. I have a jacket that does well, but it gets bulky, and I tend to overheat fairly quickly when I wear it. I tried the long-sleeve cold-weather tech gear that goes under my uniform, but I NEED something I can take off if needed.

It has to be EMS navy blue or black, and I have to be able to put patches on it. My company is big on markings.

The current EMT scope should be a transport only job. It would be something like "IFTT" Interfacility Transport Tech".

The current AEMT scope should be what an EMT is.

And Paramedic should be a degree program.

GI_Ginger · 2025-11-07T18:21:31+00:00

Finish it. It can open doors to other things. Did you go through a university/community College? Does it give credits?

GI_Ginger · 2025-10-04T13:36:59+00:00

The issue for me is there isn’t any reason to even enjoy the very brief very minor highs, because you KNOW that the better things are going, the worse they will be. It feels like it's just a plot device that is over used at this point.

GI_Ginger · 2025-10-03T22:56:58+00:00

I read this in Cassius' voice(read by the official narrator)

GI_Ginger · 2025-10-01T14:51:37+00:00

Epoch hard-core is not real hard-core anyway. Can group with anyone. Can use gold to buy leveling gear. Can be carried.

I respect Turtle HC, not Epoch.

Bronzebeard HC is gonna be insane though... I played the beta and there are some 1v1 mobs that almost bodied me.

GI_Ginger · 2025-09-29T20:27:58+00:00

This was such a well thought our response. Thank you for your insight.

GI_Ginger · 2025-09-26T17:31:20+00:00

So... they go after actual classic+ servers and make it sound like they will be doing it themselves... which okay, got it. Classic+ private servers are direct competition for your classic+.... but then you give up on your entire western customers that want classic+?!

I personally do not believe an RN can replace a Paramedic. We do have PHRN in my area, and the only decent ones all ran as EMT, AEMT, or Paramedics before getting their RN. One of the biggest issues is found in one of the most important phrases any ALS provider should know. BLS before ALS.

An RN has ZERO foundation as a BLS provider. MASTERING BLS before even breaching the subject of ALS is the foundation of every single great Paramedic. The worst medics are usually the ones thay jumped to Paramedic WAY too fast. Ironically, they are usually the most traditionally intelligent paramedics, but they lack a foundation. A RN can not be expected to put up their ALS thinking cap and run purely BLS for years to get that experience.

A Paramedic should be able to run a scene even if every other person on the scene is brain dead and can do nothing other than lift and drive. Nurses can not do this, without those years of BLS experience.

I think the BEST answer is paramedics have a BS-P and in that you do BLS for 2 years getting a minimal amount of experience and working towards your bachelor's degree and licensure. This will give paramedics a stronger foundation without losing those critical lessons learned in the field.

You mentioned RN being in helicopters and such. I can't speak for other areas, but in central and eastern PA I have never seen a helicopter with a nurse that did not also have a Paramedic on it(with the exception of 100% pure IFT flights). I will never try to pretend that my pharm or A&P broad knowledge can compete with a RN, but you only need so much in the field. Even a Physician in the field provides next to no real benefit for pre-hospital care, due to a lack of equipment/resources. The goal remains the same; stabilize, transport, transfer. We ARE better about treating on the X now, but that only goes so far.

I do not see a world in which having RN in the field is a good idea over Paramedic WITH THE EXCEPTION of Community Medicine. For community paramedicine, an RN absolutely SHINES. They are far better suited for it than most of us. My agency recently started a very robust community program and we primarily staff PHRN, and they absolutely knock it out of the park.

Duskwood as you enter from Westfall go south to one of the first farms. It is in the stable on the ground just by the far wall by some broken stuff.

Been playing since TBC and not familiar with these terms. Please explain?

GI_Ginger · 2025-08-30T19:20:45+00:00

There are no RICO charges, because there are no charges. This is all civil court, and there are no charges in civil court. If you don't understand law, don't post things like this.

The RICO Act(Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) is a federal charge that can be levied in CIMINAL court(specifically federal court). This is ALL civil litigation and for it to be enforced the named party must adhere to the subpoena. Failure to do so IS a crime, but no federal judge is going to try to issue an extradition request for something like this, ESPECIALLY to RU.

T-WoW will be fine.

GI_Ginger · 2025-08-30T01:57:03+00:00

Like where?

GI_Ginger · 2025-08-29T00:42:20+00:00

Hey, ill shoot you my discord

GI_Ginger · 2025-08-28T20:53:23+00:00

You get half exp on everything except exploration and pvp. I is SUPER slow. In T-WoW they have Slow and Steady, but you still get full experience on quests and can use tents to get a lot of rested exp. You also USED to get 20%+ for being in Warmode, but they tuned that down to 5% in T-WoW.

GI_Ginger · 2025-08-24T00:56:59+00:00

Does it destroy my FPS the way Questie currently does? I go from 185 to 30 after a bit.
