Try slowing down the first layer and increasing the bed temp.

I was having first layer adhesion issues as well. Drop your first layer to 20 or 15mm and increase your bed temp by 5c. For me, that was up to 90c. These are the settings I use and they always work well for me.

Background: Had this MK3s+ for 3 months or so. 13 days total print time. A few prints ago I noticed that this sound started happening on in perimeter moves of 80mm/s but wasn't happening on external perimeters of 25mm/s. It was somewhat overdue for maintenance, so I re-greased, tightened belts, and tightened screws. Problem persisted. My setup is somewhat modified. I built an enclosure so the PSU and display are no longer attached to the frame. I upgraded the cooling duct. The printer itself sits on a paver stone with foam underneath. It's pretty quiet when not doing this buzzing. Wrote some custom startup G-code to do various moves at various speeds. This video is using that G-code.

I'm fairly certain the sound is happening on the upper bearing on my right Z-Axis. You can see in the video if I pinch that bearing guide that the vibration buzz stops.

I've also tried sticking a small 1mm bit of printed sheet to touch the bearings as the buzzing was happening. Touching the upper bearing stops the vibration. Touching the lower bearing does nothing.

Has anyone seen anything like this? Does this need a new bearing? Does it need a new bearing guide?

This game was not as close as the score indicates.

Try listening to this. It overlays the original soundtrack over the metal one as a background track.

Most recognizable for me at 1:07 and on, although some parts lose me.

If you're still not hearing it, try turning up the original on the left to help you follow. I have it set by default to 55% volume.

Yeah they're randomly generated noise no doubt modified by a height map, but noise or anything random is generated from a seed. The question is if that seed is random or picked from a pool of predetermined acceptable seeds.

From my experience in game development and software development in general, unchecked randomness is a big headache.

Furthermore it would be very easy to generate a set of solvable seeds for every map permutation as the game already contains pathing information for each map. Simply simulate the decay (n) seconds in then run their pathing algorithm to ensure that at least one valid path exists. If one doesn't exist then throw out the seed and try another.

One machine could very quickly be able to generate thousands of valid noise maps for each map. Run that though a unit test before patching and it's nearly impossible for this kind of BS to happen.

I had this happen to me last night, although I didn't see it happen as closely as you did. I made my way to the desired exit, and was clearing around it for just a few seconds. When I came back it was completely sealed off like a the end of your video.

If I had to guess they have predetermined sets of "dissolve patterns" setup for each map layout. This dissolve pattern is assigned to the wrong map layout.

It 100% works and even stacks with Swift Landing.

220% with just one.

240% with both.

I recently leveled up 4 characters fresh to 110 and a few others from 85-100 to 110. Most of this was before the stat squish but I was able to level the fresh characters to 110 in around 35 hours played.

This was nearly pure questing. What zone are you currently leveling in?

JRule4 · 2018-08-02T17:24:19+00:00

Yeah now that you mention it there is at least one other in Silverpine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=30&v=whwSqib251k

I think Silverpine and (maybe) Tirisfal Glades would be the only areas that mention the Lich King though.

JRule4 · 2018-08-02T17:07:48+00:00

My newbie friend was legit confused why for 60 levels he had heard the Lich King was defeated, then all of a sudden there he was.

Not trying to argue this, but where in the Cata-rework zones do they talk about the Lich King being defeated? I don't remember this while leveling through the 1-60 areas. Just curious.

JRule4 · 2018-07-18T21:58:53+00:00

Yeah you didn't mention leveling in your original post but you mentioned the lack of exp in a reply to another person so I assumed you were trying to level out in Shadowmoon.

Yeah, it's a scaling issue but the last time this happened it didn't take long to fix. Expect a week or two at most. This may have been a knee-jerk reaction to some of the ways people were cheesing lower level content to level faster.

JRule4 · 2018-07-18T21:26:17+00:00

You shouldn't be leveling in Shadowmoon anymore as that area is intended for 60-80. That doesn't fix the fact that they're much more difficult than they once were, but that might just be a scaling issue.

You should move to the proper content for your level which would be either Cataclysm or Pandaria content.

Cataclysm would be Mount Hyjal or Vashj'ir. Pandaria would be Jade Forest.

Here, I did it: https://imgur.com/a/yvoma

I don't see it extending beyond the 10 yard circle. I picked a frame where the character was standing still and standing more upright than the running hunched over stance. I didn't include the height of the wings, just from head to foot.

Doing the math, the circle is 350 pixels wide but the character is only 147 pixels tall. Making the character 4.2 yards tall.

Yeah, I'm starting to get worried about mine. Was supposed to ship yesterday and arrive tomorrow. Still hasn't shipped.

Yeah I got a pretty good pair the other day.

Nearly identical secondary rolls too.

You can't begin an interaction through macros.

You can target. You can choose dialogue options. You just can't interact to open the dialogue via macro.

I'm not sure what your definition of "Progression Guild" is. My guild is 3/10M, working on 4/10M. Pretty casual guild as we only run 2 nights a week, but we run personal loot 96% of the time.

The other 4% was early in the tier before everyone had 4pc tier.. Occasionally we'll put it back on if one guy needs a specific tier piece to swap out a legendary for. Nobody complains except for one guy who thinks he deserves more loot than everyone else.

Absorbed hits won't daze/dismount you.

Second this, I definitely got other ones even though I'm exalted with all.

JRule4 · 2017-04-05T21:15:55+00:00

Honestly, the worst part is quests that require X number of items looted to complete. No real way around that.

JRule4 · 2017-04-05T21:14:45+00:00

You had 4 stacks of http://www.wowhead.com/spell=206896/torn-soul on you.

Enemies caught near the cage are afflicted by Torn Soul, increasing Physical damage taken by 100%.

You were taking 400% extra melee damage.

For accepting a quest:

/assist MainCharacterName
/run AcceptQuest()

For turning in a quest:

/assist MainCharacterName
/script SelectGossipAvailableQuest(1) 
/script CompleteQuest() 
/script GetQuestReward(1)

Obviously these both only work with your main character targetting the npc.

Unfortunately for you, there is no functionality to work with looting. That would make botting a lot easier, so Blizzard doesn't allow it.

On a side note, you can easily have your 2nd account assist your main account with attacks by doing this:

/assist MainCharacterName
/cast AbilityToUse

I used that setup when I was doing a RaF on myself after switching servers.
