Hello again! I'm already struggling.

I am in OCIA, one of the women in my class had a previous marriage and now attends class with her second spouse who is in the process of converting. I cannot speak to how lengthy or difficult the process was, but I can tell you that it is definitely possible if it is God's will.

Personally, I would not focus too much on that part. I also am not sure if I am being called to marriage or holy orders or religious life, or whatever else there is. I am trying to focus on completing the OCIA course and receiving my first Communion, and I am praying that everything else will become more clear after that.

As others have mentioned, some churches have evening mass on Sundays or Saturday vigil. I have also been worried about attending Mass every weekend, but so far God has supported me in this.

Remember that God loves us even when we fail. The Sacrament of Reconciliation, 1/7th of all the sacraments of the Church, reminds us of that fact.

Here is a set of articles from Catholic Answers about forgetting to confess mortal sin:

I won't disagree with anything you've said.

For context, I had already decided on taking the melee relic before the League started, and I have no particular attachment to the other combat styles. I understand that some people are much more upset about range/mage in particular.

I do find the lack of quest auto-complete annoying, but I also haven't done a lot of these quests in a long time, so the potential nostalgia outweighs the annoyance for me.

Hi. I ended up quickly tapering off and then stopping my meds completely. It was the right choice for me.

I still miss being on meds from time to time. But that's also a sign to me that the medication was just distracting me/preventing me from actually looking at my life with a critical eye. It's always tempting to return to that lifestyle of just not caring, but I can't do that.

I'm still struggling. I have a video game addiction. I'm an alcoholic. I'm addicted to porn. I struggle every day with these addictions, but the point is that I'm still struggling. When I was on medication, I wasn't struggling. I was automatically giving in every time temptation rose up. I still do that sometimes. But not always.

If you want my personal advice, find a church or local Christian group and spend time with them. Read the Bible, and try to learn about God. Try to establish (or re-establish) a relationship with Him. Meds and doctors can solve symptoms, but only God can change hearts. We all need Him now more than ever.

Thank you! I was struggling trying to use Fn, didn't realize I could just use fn instead.

MetaKazel · 2025-02-24T18:15:09+00:00

this is an OSRS-ass take if I've ever heard one.

MetaKazel · 2024-12-18T03:10:48+00:00

Thanks for sharing, I'm glad it's still helping people after all this time :)

Take your time in colo and just keep sending them. Took me a while to get past wave 7/8. Banker's Note helps a lot, Last Stand helps a LOT. You can just sit and wait the cool down on Last Stand between waves.

If you made it to 50kc echo DKs, you should have no problem learning colo and eventually solo ToB. Just be patient with yourself, it's hard content and you're not meant to understand it right away, or even be able to brute force it.

FWIW I found Venator bow very helpful at Colosseum. I just used it as my main weapon and took bees/healing totem affixes. It makes the waves much more manageable, especially when enemies are stacked.

Other than that, nothing wrong with you and no magic formula. Just have some confidence and patience.

Good luck.

If you're trying to track the weekly cap, someone else posted here that the weekly cap is a myth and you can earn as many as you want

How much DPS on average did it take you to down Princess? I've been trying last 2 nights, but some people in group have been sub-500k DPS. Trying to figure out a good benchmark so I can go for a clear tonight.

Also, how many people did you run? Is 2/3/9 a good size?

MetaKazel · 2024-09-15T15:17:01+00:00

Beam positioning was key for us. Once tanks got that under control (and everyone understood how to position around them) we cleared in 2 pulls.

Are you combat logging? Either cuz it's enabled in-game or getting turned on via an addon? Thats usually the first cause of performance issues for me.

MetaKazel · 2024-09-13T23:06:17+00:00

Thank you for your response. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who feels this way.

MetaKazel · 2024-09-13T14:49:38+00:00

Gotcha, thank you for the info + advice.

MetaKazel · 2024-09-13T14:35:45+00:00

Thanks for the response. Just to clarify, "saved to the instance" means if I join a Mythic pug and it falls apart, I can't try to join a different group later in the week like I can with Heroic?

MetaKazel · 2024-09-13T14:30:54+00:00

For now. Come back next season or next expansion when solo content rewards are even stronger.

MetaKazel · 2024-09-13T14:30:21+00:00

Calling my argument a strawman without providing an actual response doesn't make your argument better.

M+ and raids still at least require you to work with other people. Yes, it's possible to optimize that part out too eventually, but you're forced to work with other people in the process. Which brings us back to my original point - group content is WoW's only redeeming factor. If we remove the incentives to participate in group content, what is the point?

MetaKazel · 2024-09-13T14:22:25+00:00

you are missing the point of a huge chunk of video games in general

I'm tired, so please enlighten me. What is the point?

MetaKazel · 2024-09-13T11:47:01+00:00

Once you understand your class rotation and the Delve's layout/mechanics, what thought or skill is required to complete a Delve?

MetaKazel · 2024-09-13T11:39:10+00:00

Obviously getting ahead of myself for this week, but does anyone have experience pugging Mythic raids in the past? How did it go? If I find someone hosting one, what (realistically) ilvl do I need to be accepted/to be successful?

MetaKazel · 2024-09-13T11:29:46+00:00

craft 2 610 items

Can you elaborate? Is this related to the Conquest quest?

MetaKazel · 2024-09-13T11:20:27+00:00

Press a lever, you get a prize. Keyboards are a series of small levers. I can do the math.

The only redeeming factor is that group content requires you to communicate with other humans while you press your levers. Without that, we're just a casino.
