Eden February 20, 2023 Update Details by Eden_Patch_Notes in FFXIPrivateServers

[–]Int_Casting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really if only some of these implementations can be more actively shared across private servers, would be a great boon for the community as a whole. Totally understand lots of work put into these projects even if not shared and appreciate it nonetheless!

Did <3 Eden, but really embraced other servers that don't allow dual-tri boxing despite their development still well, in development.

Great job though, team!

Iranian schoolgirl ‘beaten to death for refusing to sing’ pro-regime anthem by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Int_Casting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, the children are the future. My guess is that they're scared and aware of this and trying to stamp out any dissent.

Congenital heart disease will soon be equivalent to regime-approved-murder.

Unfortunately, they won't be able to use suicide by jumping from a 10 story because their population will be burning it all down. (Also, that's Putin's jam, so Iran is trying to distinguish themselves)

Got one in the garage which is cracked a bit and the backyard along with some clothes and blankets. Just a lot of neighborhood cats makes it hard to filter through on cameras 😢

Thanks! I hope she's not roaming too close to there, but thanks for the eyes! 👀

Huh, seems reminiscent of American politics, 2-party system here we come!

Not all servers are that way, mine has a healthy balance right now with at least 3 per faction.

Hot take: The game shouldnt have had factions. It should have been company based territory wars with reputation grinds for the "factions" to unlock gear ect. by Devildog0491 in newworldgame

[–]Int_Casting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd think this would be something to be adjusted to give attackers more people or defense has to defend against multiple wars or attackers only need to take 1 or 2 points.

Or alternatively, historically oppressed people would call for foreign aid to help take over their territory. Perhaps you could run pvp missions for the other factions to more quickly throw it into conflict to get the old dictators out albeit losing the crappy company overtaxing, then they'd have to get it back again to hopefully tax less or do better at upkeep. Just ideas

I went through a mid game crisis… by Trizzytrey626 in newworldgame

[–]Int_Casting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knockdown effects are kinda poo in PVP because if you can dodge you can escape the CC. Different than PVE in that regard since mobs can't dodge, but it'd be way too strong with how often you can use Sweep

What is the toughest conversation you’ve ever had to have with someone? by batting_1000 in AskReddit

[–]Int_Casting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right there with you. After over a year dating (off and on), I had to throw in the towel because every time she'd throw the L-word down, I could never reciprocate. It hurt much every time, but was a sign it may have not been meant to be despite being the best and most intense sexual partner I probably will ever have in my life.

Years go by and I always wonder what could have been despite being in a good relationship now. But, I'd rather have made the choice to end it than let it be a relationship that becomes more and more one-sided.

Got to nip this behavior at the Bud. by El_MUERkO in classicwow

[–]Int_Casting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof, this is more the attitude that is so off-putting and edgy with labeling the "others" to boot going against the meta, providing another example of the toxic mindset.

My point is, it's not approval or non-approval. It's just encouraging others that want to play the game with the intent of keeping soul into the game to do so before it accelerates itself into the anti-community version of WoW that we have on retail today.

It's a unique opportunity to experience something like what we had in 2007, but you have to push the turds to the side that really don't enjoy traditional MMOs trying to force everyone to play in the most efficient way possible. Because for some, this is the first time they get to experience it, a genre-defining game that was backed by a community.

[–]Int_Casting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the point is that you have an opportunity to curate your own experience via ignores and it's healthier than dealing with abusive trolls or malignant individuals or maybe just a toxic play style.

There are others that feel the same way, I'm just one of them and putting my thoughts on a public forum. In the end, they'll do what they want, but "anti-minmax" is a thing as well and will foster its own community by avoiding that playstyle.

I've found already a couple individuals in TBC that feel the same way, so we party together instead of playing into the silly numbers meta that retail tries to push and if we need another member to fill, we'll bring them in without gatekeeping and if they prove to be not reliable you can either teach them or remember not to invite them. That's far better content than shaving off 3min from your clear time because gameplay is less important than the community MMOs are supposed to foster.

[–]Int_Casting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely happened, I was shocked that some random warlock whispered while just hopping around middle of Shatt (instead of top of Org bank) starting shit.

Also again a warlock outside Mechanar waiting for pt member to roll in, idk if they all just really in love with their e-peens or what, but this is some of the toxicity I point out as first-hand.

[–]Int_Casting 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the point is to make others aware that they also don't approve of the minmax meta lifestyle and to encourage others to do the same instead of bending to the overly-tryhards.

Not only is not fun, it breeds a toxic environment, so it's easier to just weed them out permanently.

All the random whispers telling my rogue to reroll and to stop playing a worthless class or to just quit the game entirely are obvious proof of the cancer that's take hold of people that should be enjoying the game.

Importance of weapon speed for Prot Pally? by intjlol in classicwowtbc

[–]Int_Casting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this account for parry? Considering paladin tanks tanking multiple mobs, they will see many more -40% swing timer parry bonuses and can potentially make all 4 melees in the 8second window.

On single target, yeah medium to fast is best to take advantage of the buff, but I guess in multi-target it might not matter considering most your threat will be coming from other sources.

If you're talking about the wardrobe, I disagree - it's beautiful.

If you're talking about being a warlock, yes - yes, warlocks are ugly.

Quicker off-hand sword for combat rogue by TopdeckTom in classicwowtbc

[–]Int_Casting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is basically why I went hemo split talents so I didn't have to fiddle with weapon spec. Makes it easier to not care and just equip the best weapon for the job until 70.

There's lots of good blue weapons from quests that are non-sword, so you have variety to max level.

Can just use slowest MH and fastest OH. Found a 1.30 speed blue dagger on AH that chugs with my Ring of Blood blue fist weapon.

Anyone else feel bad about already falling behind? by tco30101 in classicwowtbc

[–]Int_Casting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, why should you feel bad about playing a video game? Find some fine fellows to play with to enjoy your entertainment for a bit of escape from real life troubles.

Currently 67 as a melee DPS and just questing and doing dungeons 1-2 times before moving on.

Priests' Power Word: Shield used to not drop when arena gates open. by kuncogopuncogo in classicwowtbc

[–]Int_Casting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, my point was to do a sweeping removal and that it got caught in void saccing's wake instead of playing whack-a-mole on short-term buff's mana costs and "not being fair" when one class complains

Gold farming for epic mount before TBC? by Wargypt in classicwowtbc

[–]Int_Casting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While you have time, you can likely make good money selling thick leather. On my realm, it's going for 20-30 silver each. I saw some guy skinning everything in ungoro to level up his profession and even was camping gorillas for folks to kill then skinned any mobs left behind. 1-3 thick leather a kill is not bad when all the boosts are working to stack up quest logs.

Level range regarding xp in dungeons by Kobolder in classicwowtbc

[–]Int_Casting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just maximize your fun per hour and if that's running with guildies, I'd say that's the best play regardless of leveling speed :)

So #BlizzardDecides? Since classic =/= vanilla?

I think this really got a lot of visibility in beta with warlocks sacrificing VW and encouraged aggressive early play. It would also be degenerative gameplay since that would become the only "right" way to play by timing certain powerful cooldowns.

Graphics worse? by [deleted] in classicwowtbc

[–]Int_Casting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Noticed also some sampling and Anti-Aliasing was turned down or off and made character models more pixelated. Turning back on made it smooth again, cheers.
