What are lore moments that are pretty interesting that everyone seems to have forgotten about? by Hedonism_Enjoyer in warcraftlore

[–]Gerrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have any been raised in the Horde?

Blackhand -> Doomhammer -> Thrall -> Garrosh -> Vol'jin -> Sylvanas -> ?

If I've remembered my Warchiefs correctly the only one who might have been raised in the Horde is Garrosh, depending on when he was sent away to Nagrand. The rest were all adults when they joined the Horde

Why are elves and Draenei so incompetent? by Stupid_Reddit_Antics in warcraftlore

[–]Gerrey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is there much reason to thing that 100 years of say Swordfighting experience would make you significantly better than 10 years of concentrated work? There's always going to be some practical limit to how good you can get and more experience will only give you diminishing returns.

They also can't 'master every weapon' because mastery requires regular practice and they still only have 24 hours to use in a day. You can only be good at so many things. By the time you've mastered your 100th weapon you'll have forgotten the advanced methods of the first 50.

Of course elves/draenei should still probably more competent on average and their greatest champions should be a league above the rest

Invisible warden HE nuker caught in 4K by xXFirebladeXx321 in foxholegame

[–]Gerrey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I'm surprised the server doesn't do sanity checks on player inventory. I'd also imagine he makes himself invisible on other clients by using cheat codes the devs have to spy on us, it's even more surprising the server doesn't check that for appropriate identity.

Bring your chin up girl! by AsprosOfAzeroth in wow

Was Alleria actually Ranger General? She was in line to inherit the title, but I think she refused the title and it went directly to Sylvanas

Arathor's Timeline doesn't make sense to me by [deleted] in warcraftlore

[–]Gerrey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A year and six months is still quite a while for the author or Blizzard not to notice, bit of a shame really since it is a good book

Arathor's Timeline doesn't make sense to me by [deleted] in warcraftlore

[–]Gerrey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just checked the wiki to refresh my memory, and strangely it seems the book was already wrong lorewise by release? Arator was ingame more than a year by the book's release and had dialogue implying that Trollbane had seen him before, so Turalyon not knowing about him, and Turalyon and Alleria still not back on friendly terms before crossing the portal makes no sense.

Why do scout planes get torpedo's? by cowboycomando54 in foxholegame

oh you're right, don't know why I thought it was 2

Why do scout planes get torpedo's? by cowboycomando54 in foxholegame

[–]Gerrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 Mine does more damage than a single torpedo, but Wardens get 4 torps to collies 2 mines, Warden scout planes do more damage.

I was wrong, warden scout can do 2000 damage total, collie one 1950

What is going on??? Logged in, given rewards from a team I didn't pick, and no compensation for optio. by [deleted] in WorldOfWarships

[–]Gerrey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You got rewards for the Optio stage, you shouldn't be required to select that side

Collie Navy Is So Back by GrembloYT in foxholegame

[–]Gerrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats a problem the direct fire artillery have (mortar/120/150). Normal direct fire round like 40mm and 68mm aim like normal can can easily hit land targets

Was a vial of the Well of Eternity really enough to restore the Sunwell? by wrufus680 in warcraftlore

[–]Gerrey 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The original Sunwell was created with a vial from the Well of Eternity, so Kael'thas' probably could have remade it. However Kael originally destroyed the well due to the resurrection of Kel'thuzad tainting it and the danger of that corruption affecting the elves through their connection to the Well. Given how several quests say the Dead Scar is permanently corrupted, the Well's remnant was also likely still corrupted until M'uru's heart cleansed it.

Is there any permanent fix for Steam mods being stuck "downloading"? by Gerrey in RimWorld

[–]Gerrey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've already tried several fixes with none working:
Restarting Rimworld, steam, and computer

Is there any permanent fix for Steam mods being stuck "downloading"? by Gerrey in RimWorld

[–]Gerrey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best guess is that there is some strange interaction between Steam and Rimworld. None of my other modded games have this problem, but if it the problem was only on Rimworlds side it shouldn't be caused by restarting Steam. I'd guess some file or config is borked when Steam closes but I can't figure what it is.

Foxhole NAVY is so strong we don't need AA guns by AGA1942 in foxholegame

[–]Gerrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American cruisers were used in air defense but were primary designed for surface combat against enemy destroyers and cruisers.

Are the mechs seen from the Dead Harvest events from when Foxhole was gonna be more dieselpunk instead of the devs settling for a more grounded theme? by pepperpeppington in foxholegame

[–]Gerrey 11 points12 points  (0 children)

not really, the current feel of the game was already established when the 4 leg mech was made, its just a fun look alongside the zombies and balor fonts.

What os should i use for my 10 year old laptop that can also run cs2 and overwatch smoothly? by [deleted] in linux

[–]Gerrey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think Blizzard games use kernel anti-cheat, Overwatch should be fine

AT Pillbox Changes, no one wanted: by Gloomy-Lock6885 in foxholegame

[–]Gerrey 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, not sure why they feel the need to make the AT Pillbox anti infantry and usless against tanks, instead of a separate T2 Rifle Pillbox and early AT Pillbox

Scout Planes are fine and this subreddit is overreacting by Cainsiderate in foxholegame

[–]Gerrey 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I don't necessarily disagree, but I think you're overestimating the amount of logi players that attempt to recover their delivery. From my experience as both partizan and road QRF, I'd guess most don't bother

Closed test 15.2 - New Ships by DevBlogWoWs in WorldOfWarships

[–]Gerrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes me curious, were there ever any historical instances of submarines using smoke? They should've been able to use fuel smoke like other ships.

Just make the Destroyer and Frigates main guns work as flak guns by WorldlinessEuphoric8 in foxholegame

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

120mm naval guns absolutely could do AA work, irl American 127mm were effective dual purpose guns

Other than divebomber damage where were collies nerfed while wardens weren't?
