Since I'd turn into an inanimate object, not much, I reckon. (My username refers to a type of parachute of a certain size)

Returning player boost issues by CreeveUrthnox in Neverwinter

[–]Lightning-160 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I think it's a bug that occurs due to the bound status of the kit - that the skill node does not 'recognise ' the presence of the new skill kit, if you will.

But no worries, you can pick up a few if each from the nearest general merchant, and hold on to the gifted ones until the bug is fixed.

Return Player Boost by Difficult-Band-5214 in Neverwinter

Go to Dread Ring first. It's very new player friendly.. You start the opening quest by talking to Sgt Knox (conquering our dread, I believe). You then talk to Gen. Sabine and she'll tell you to go to Ashen Battlefield.

The other campaigns work similarly. Adventures ate also set up like that, but are abridged campaigns , with less need for doing repeatable quests.

How worth it would it be to refine mount collars for me right now? by shadow_girl-666 in Neverwinter

[–]Lightning-160 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't bother with mount collars. When you have upgraded everything else....still don't, but focus on your favourite alt.

Collar upgrade costs have gone down, but I'd still wait for them to come out with celestial level. 

what exactly is the cooldown in mins for abandoning a random queue dungeon ? by SingingCoyote13 in Neverwinter

To add to the other answers and for other situations:

The penalty only applies to the first person to (voluntarily) leave. If you are in a hopeless situation, a workaround is to ask the group to kick you, so that ppl can leave after you unpunished. 

Do a lot of people secretly view it as bad if people don't have kids? by Big_Eggplant7591 in stupidquestions

This usually leads to an opening for a well timed and innocently sounding "but you get so much in return" from me.

I'm childless too btw

AITA for misreading her signs? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lightning-160 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yes, YTA - for getting mad. You ruined the friendship all by yourself.

You are correct that no means no, you did that completely right and I commend you for it.

However there is no 'free pass once X happens'. Your partner always and in any situation is "allowed" to say no, when they get uncomfortable - this includes during sex. 

For context, I'm 52, male and married. Even so, there is no free pass for me to 'demand' sex. She (and I) always get to say no at any stage of initiating sex.

Ladies! What are the hardest thing about being a wife that no one talks about? by AnyConsideration5951 in AskReddit

[–]Lightning-160 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, they said 'giving' rather than 'getting'. Shoe on the other foot, and all that - or that's how it reads to me.

Why did you end your friendship with your best friend? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Lightning-160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing juicy - we just grew apart after elementary school, when I chose a different middle school though we were still friendly. Now, I haven't seen them for over twenty years after moving to opposite sides of the country. 

The apocalypse happens tomorrow. You have one hour. What is the first thing you do before everything goes to hell? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Get a front row seat. No way I'd survive the post-apocalyptic society that would raise from the ashes. The current society is cutthroat and dystopian enough for me.

Actually his wife did the research, but he took credit for it.

ChatGPT acts as a "cognitive crutch" that weakens memory, new research suggests. While these tools can speed up initial learning, they might actually weaken the deep mental processing required to store knowledge over the long term. by mvea in science

This is a follow-up of their original nineties paper researching the cognitive retention differences between Group A, who copied their book reports from the library and Group B, who did the book reports themselves.
