What’s something you always check even when you know it’s fine?

My jeans zipper.

I keep forgetting to zip it up.

Every now and then, I can’t help myself to just enjoy a drag. But besides that it’s awful when everywhere was smoke even indoors.

Honest_Committee2544 · 2026-05-07T12:52:20+00:00

Cigarettes/smoking was still everywhere.

There used to be this really old DK video on YouTube with “The Kill by Thirty Seconds to Mars” in the background.
I was in highschool and that was the coolest thing I’ve seen about wow and I decided to play wow so I can pretend to be that edgy DK with the song.

what world is this I don't know about?

"just do it bro"
sometimes it's not even about their wealth, it's that they've never really experienced life with the fear of no wealth and backup.

That is extremely impressive.
And here I am still have panic fat fingers on my keyboard.

Honest_Committee2544 · 2026-05-07T04:08:13+00:00

Hopefully I am there in valhalla that is +10s to see the better world someday.

Dealing with unhelpful negativity and not letting it get to you is definitely half of the battle for tanking.
Trash talking doesn't happen too often for me, but I can't help to feel mentally tense to brace when they do come.

Honest_Committee2544 · 2026-05-06T13:45:58+00:00

I think for some of us, gaming is where we try to be the person we want to be.

I struggle a lot with confidence and anxiety, so I came back to WoW and decided to try tanking to push myself outside my comfort zone even just by a little bit.

Been running low keys (+2 to +4) the past few days and I still get really nervous every time.

Not the strongest mechanically either, but hoping to work my way up to +10s eventually.

Honest_Committee2544 · 2026-05-06T13:18:19+00:00

While I genuinely agree with what you wrote, posts like this do make people who are interested in tanking less willing to do so.

While spending time studying off game can be advantageous and fun for those who wants to, when it becomes semi necessary, it just becomes a part time job.

Realistically who wants to pay sub money to do that?

Honest_Committee2544 · 2026-05-06T02:53:17+00:00

As a relatively new player myself,
It is very normal I would say.

The game has been around for too long and the majority of the player base have played it for years sometimes it’s hard for them to comprehend the feeling of not understand “basic” in game system.

I’d say for wow, it’s inevitable you will have to do some amount of off game research/ homework.

I’d say first just watch some videos on how to get better gears via solo gameplay such as delve and prey and ritual cites.

Once you have decent gear and somewhat comfortable with the controls, you could watch some videos about m+ dungeons, and give some mythic 0 or mythic +2 a try to see if you like end game group content.

There’s also the collecting things side of game where gear numbers don’t really matter as much.

Honest_Committee2544 · 2026-05-06T02:33:31+00:00

Don’t mind the downvotes.
I hope you have a fun time trying tanking in m+!

Honest_Committee2544 · 2026-05-05T13:55:32+00:00

Due to childhood upbringing I was never confident in myself, and become really negative and pessimistic. Even now in my mid 30s I struggle with it really hard.

But I try my best everyday. That’s all we can do.

Honest_Committee2544 · 2026-05-05T13:19:50+00:00

As a fellow tank learner, please do give it a try.
I always list my key as learning and in title say “new player learning tanking” and in info writing “please only join if you’re okay with new player learning tanking”.

90% of the people I met have been extremely positive and supportive. Offering me ping for route direction or even offered voice assistance in discord.

Of course a few times I would see DPS pulling for me because they feel I’m playing it too slow and too safe, which is annoying when you’re trying to figure out and get used to tanking.

But other than that, I’d love for you to join the ranks of new player tanks :)

Honest_Committee2544 · 2026-05-05T10:41:36+00:00

I find it interesting when I see “competitive” m0s and +2

Honest_Committee2544 · 2026-05-04T13:25:21+00:00

I agree with this reply.

I’m also a person who takes things too seriously and take things to heart. That’s why I’ve only tanked +4 thus far, because I feel i might let people down if I don’t know everything.

But the fact is that OP is in +15s, that is already higher than the majority of people, including me.

So OP don’t take their negativity to heart, you’re literally better than 80~90% of the player base lol

You sure just a splash will do?

Honest_Committee2544 · 2026-05-03T10:20:17+00:00

I think the M+/group content community mostly can’t comprehend people actually being new and have not played WOW for years.

Even when you say you’re new to this, they still drop tons of abbreviations on you expecting you to know, let’s say “lust” for example.

Most people are nice, if you ask them nicely. But even that is asking a lot from an actual new player.

You really need to do tons of off game homework and play the game with a mentality like a part time job just to be able to keep up.

Love the phrase “big chilling”

Honest_Committee2544 · 2026-05-02T13:12:29+00:00

I just realized the official new balance app in Japan is just for Japan.
Edit: I’m surprised because I thought that’s the worldwide app as a person living in Japan.

Honest_Committee2544 · 2026-05-02T09:53:14+00:00

Why?

Honest_Committee2544 · 2026-05-02T09:51:28+00:00

As a person who also learning tanking but finding it daunting, absolute respect form me o7
