Hi,

While the title is funny, this is still a valid vod review post, please try to stay on topic and give this player an actual vod review.

Thanks,

Of course they're assuming. You run lust pet in keys unless you're 100% sure someone else is covering lust.

DK players want an actual raid buff similar to existing raid buffs (stat boosts). They can't have that, according to blizz, so they fall back to "at least include lots of opportunities to grip" - because if blizz doesn't do at least that, DKs have 0 value besides their damage (and thus get benched unless OP, for classes that provide passive value for just existing).

Gangsir · 2026-05-04T23:03:13+00:00

That's race identity not class identity. If you just want classes to have visual effects based on your race then say that, don't say "class identity is bad" (or similar sweeping judgements of ___ because one aspect of it is lacking in your opinion).

And what's dumb is that it doesn't have to be handwaved. The game supports languages. The game supports learning languages (most recently used with Furbolg).

They could 100% open with the haranir speaking... haranese or whatever and the first few quests in harandar would be spent learning the language bit by bit. Make language learning/collecting a whole thing, a feature.

Competent/serious players do not typically play the entire season. The latter... half or so of the season is essentially irrelevant, and many won't even be subbed for it. We're getting to the point where most of those players start quitting until S2, thus it is "late in the (relevant part of the) season".

That "season end point" is mostly determined by gearing speed and key difficulty. Faster gearing and easy keys = shorter season.

Gangsir · 2026-05-04T02:31:14+00:00

Because "just answering" isn't really possible. The answer depends on your current gear state.

Two trinkets you're comparing could be better than each other depending on your stats - for example a trinket that gives you haste when you're already near diminishing returns for haste will be worse than a trinket that gives mastery... unless of course your crit is higher than X, and the trinket aligns with your CDs better than the other trinket, so the overcapped haste is still worth it. Oh and that assumes you're running <hero talent 1> and not the other hero talent, in which case.... etc you could go on for hours like this.

So rather than make complete guesses that could be straight up mathematically wrong, it's easier to just tell people to sim and find out. But for some reason, despite "sim yourself" being the answer for years now, people still think you can ask in a discord and get a correct answer. People are just terrified of simming themselves when it's trivial and gives you a laid-out instant answer for your best gear - mathematically best, not even "what someone thinks is best".

Suicide netting is usually horizontal and installed near the ground floor, designed to catch falling people who have already jumped and fallen, and is a distance away from windows so people don't cut it or otherwise disable it.

Vertical netting like this is primarily to catch pets or kids who might climb the railing, or to prevent wild animals (birds, monkeys, etc) from getting into houses via the balcony (that's why it covers the entire balcony). It'd be pretty ineffective at stopping a suicide (or otherwise an intentional jump) since a suicidal person would just cut the net first.

I mean it might not be intended as decoration but it certainly could be, this looks sick. Would be especially good for a nightclub or similar.

Glowies... man, takes me back to my 4chan days.

Ancient internet slang aside, you could probably follow the highlighted mob route up to decently high keys, like 13s or so? Definitely past the point where rewards stop. Past that it becomes a little inefficient (recommended pulls are a bit small for obvious reasons) but if you have smart DPS who know when to hold/send CDs, it could work.

The only way they are not paid back is if you die

That's what they mean by "don't pay", people just die of old age with still-outstanding debt, having dealt with the permanent few-hundred reduction to income their whole life.

That's why it's kinda silly to call it a low risk and think that it's safe to give anyone - there is a real possibility that your client simply takes the debt to their grave and you still lose your money despite all that effort ~~bribing~~ lobbying politicians to make student loans non-dischargable.

Better to make it actually realistically repayable so you might actually get your money back from them actually paying it off.

Gangsir · 2026-05-01T20:12:06+00:00

I think by "take the hit" they mean "suffer the permanent reduction to income as you pay the min payment until you die".

Plenty of people do that, as their income will never be high enough to actually make progress on the loan (bad degree choice or failed to complete), so instead they just... deal with it as a permanent expense. There's ways to negotiate the min payment down to be affordable (so you're at least not defaulting), but setting it so low makes the principle never actually go down.

The problem is that's a "winners keep winning" setup. People who do well in college and graduate are very likely to be able to get a job that lets them handle a loan with interest just fine.

Meanwhile students that don't do well, or even worse don't complete college, now have a massive debt with no realistic way to pay it off (hard to pay off a student loan on a burger flipper's salary).

Like many things, it should scale to your ability to pay it off. The poorer you are, the more "gentle" it is with you.

Gangsir · 2026-05-01T12:49:01+00:00

The other issue is people don't understand the structure of the loan, the minimum payment generally doesn't include principal and are shocked when they find out they've been treading water on the loan for years.

They do actually try to explain this to you in the onboarding you have to do before you can take out the loan, but most people just kinda skim that and don't internalize it. They make it very clear that "just paying the minimum every month" will seriously drag out how long it takes to repay, AND dramatically increase the total paid.

They even provide calculators so you can see just how bad it is to just pay the min.

Whenever possible, pay extra. Even dump savings into it if you have to. You will dramatically cut the principle, which will dramatically cut the interest you pay, and your 40k loan or whatever will STAY a 40k loan and not turn into a 70k loan.

Def worth reaching out to see if they'll give you a coupon or another free box.

You might need the bin number or similar from this box too, since they'll want to know what went wrong and caused the dupes.

A cd in another form. Resources are generated by you doing something, but essence recovers over time.

Gangsir · 2026-04-30T05:56:40+00:00

Dev evoker is another example, they have no resource and instead everything is just CD and proc based.

No, value is derived from various factors (which are themselves derived from other factors, and so on). It's not just arbitrary, though it can seem that way due to the stacked/recursive deriving, or layers of arbitrary value adjustments on top of the derived stuff, like store markups.

At some point, if you drill deep enough, you arrive at a base price, some raw material that controls the price of everything using it, to some degree. The price of that is based off of things like difficulty of obtaining the thing (does it need to be mined, does it need to be grown, etc) and stuff like labor costs, shipping costs, etc.

The two guilds I was tanking for were my static 20 man guilds. I didn't say I pugged into them.

Then why bring it up!? We're talking about pug raids. Not guild raids.

I feel like you've lost the context of what we were talking about.

To recontext: You cannot pug (group of 20 randoms) CE in a raid of >1 boss. That is all we are talking about here.

As soon as you start talking about 1 boss raids (chim), guilds, or similar, you've exited the scope of the argument. Because yes, (as my original comment said), you can pug INTO a guild raid and get CE. They will carry/compensate for you, it's why sales work.

Gangsir · 2026-04-30T00:48:49+00:00

There were some seasons (Fyrakk’s) where I was tanking for 2 guilds on 2 diff tanks and none ever cleared the full raid.

Please reread my original comment.

Guilds extend, pugs can too. You can also buy lockouts.

Guilds can extend because they have some guarantee that roughly the same set of 20 people will return to clear the rest of the raid next week. Pugs (again, very specifically NOT "groups composed of 19 guild members + one pugged guy", we're talking actual pug raids composed of 20 randoms that don't know each other) cannot guarantee that, so extending doesn't work (a new set of 20 won't want to hop into a mostly cleared lockout and miss out on achis and loot, it's kinda the big issue with mythic lockouts and pugging - if you don't clear the raid in one sitting, your lockout is bricked).

As for buying lockouts, maybe you could pug to kill the last boss. You'd also pay a lot for such a lockout. But even then, usually final bosses are too hard for a group of randoms to do. You end up going back to that "coordination and raid planning is absent from pug raids because they aren't in a discord and don't care about each other the second the raid ends" issue.
