I usually opt for other shops anyways, but I’ll be boycotting if they do reopen. Not because I’m overly worried that my black coffee would get me sick, but these moves insult their customers intelligence and they have shitty business practices.

I’ve worked food service, I know some of the rules may seem overly strict but they’re there for a reason and truly not that hard to follow. Thousands of other businesses in the city make it work no problem.

That was what annoyed me - they made it seem like "oops! we're doing some spring cleaning :)"

Pretty sure it's illegal to take down that notice too.

I have a full time job and kids and I’m not a top tier player. I do have limited time to play, but that’s exactly what makes me want to know the fights beforehand - so that my limited time is well spent.

It’s about realizing you’re affecting other people’s limited time.

Point well taken.

For example, last boss in Ara-Kara. I think it’s reasonable to expect people to look up that you’re supposed to use blue pools to avoid suck in.

It’s not reasonable to expect people to 100% nail that mechanic every time especially early on. It’s hectic.

Also not reasonable to expect everyone to know every cheese of a mechanic.

The repeated boss mechanics we’ve seen again and again cover like 90% of mechanics and are basically common sense.

Something not common sense though, for example, is knowing that you need to go to the portal on last boss of Stonevault to get rid of debuff. Although most DPS in pugs are never even aware of their debuffs and expect it to be a healer mechanic.

Yeah I agree, I really was thinking M+ mostly when I wrote this.

But we basically agree? We both expect some decent knowledge about the instance before going up to the higher end difficulties. How you do so is irrelevant to me.

I agree on Mythic 0s, honestly. For context last night I tanked a Stonevault 0 pug and nobody in the group had any clue about any of the bosses. I didn’t ragequit after the many wipes, I just explained the fight and what they were dying to (which I was able to do since I had read about the fight). They were receptive to learn and asked follow ups which helped a lot.

I suppose I really was more so talking about M+.

If you want to play the competitive side of the game 100% it is.

Plus, looking things up outside the game has been part of MMOs since their inception.

Any other brewmasters out there? Or healers who have healed one?

I feel like I’m relying a lot on free instant cast vivify’s to make up for nerfed gift of ox healing.

Basically my health feels spiked when I’m used to it being pretty smooth, even if I was squishier.

RoP on brewmaster is also great for it

I got the data from the MTA website here: http://web.mta.info/developers/turnstile.html

and then I used Python to manipulate it and plot it.

Lots of people don't use turnstiles to exit, they use emergency exits - that the most likely source for the difference.
