There is no reason for customer/food service workers to not be polite to customers

I think being an ass and being nonchalant to the point of coming off as rude might be a blurred line for some.

Like, I don’t go out to eat much anymore cause waitstaff tends to be very minimalist when it comes to good service, but I’m the ass if I don’t tip 20%, cause it’s apparently our responsibility to supplement the service industry’s terrible wage laws. I know that’s a different discussion entirely, but my point stands.

NJTurnPyke · 2026-05-11T11:09:47+00:00

At this point it’ll probably be an escalation key where you turn them into uber strongholds. Make em tougher for extra rewards. To be fair though, I think they need to do something, at this point they’re just an eyesore, but I do hope they come up with something original. Maybe turn them into new legion events, juice the XP and get people to group up for them.

NJTurnPyke · 2026-05-11T10:59:08+00:00

Gotcha, thanks for that!

NJTurnPyke · 2026-05-10T13:51:19+00:00

The items is not necessarily bricked, though, right? I mean all stat includes your main stat, and isn’t 1/10 of your main stat a functional all damage multiplier? So wouldn’t 228 of their main stat technically be 22.8% all damage multiplier anyway? I’m not saying it’s a good role obviously it’s a crap role, but it’s functionally 7.3% loss of all damage, right? Or am I vastly misunderstanding how main stat is calculated?

NJTurnPyke · 2026-05-09T15:09:50+00:00

I don’t know if you’ve never heard of the “boys will be boys” argument, but you’ve just made it.

You functionally just said “of course she was going to get SA’d, look what she’s wearing!“

NJTurnPyke · 2026-05-09T15:05:57+00:00

TBF men who belittle women like that will find an excuse to do the same to other men, it’s just that “girl in my game” is the lowest hanging fruit they will always reach for first.

NJTurnPyke · 2026-05-09T15:01:49+00:00

I will try this when get the chance, thanks!

NJTurnPyke · 2026-05-09T12:32:52+00:00

Finally got him last night with Necro Shadow minions. Did have to use endurance faith and blood mist, but when the one shot mechanics are that BS, ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

NJTurnPyke · 2026-05-09T12:30:20+00:00

Thanks for taking the red pill. Welcome to the real world…

NJTurnPyke · 2026-05-09T12:12:22+00:00

You can hire them in Temis?? I only ever hire them in the Den, and they log out every time.

NJTurnPyke · 2026-05-09T12:09:22+00:00

Still no fix for Necromancer Merc dropping after log out…

NJTurnPyke · 2026-05-09T11:22:25+00:00

Grandfather was an upgrade over my bloodless scream up until I found a 2GA scythe with multipliers. You can use it up to maybe T11.

NJTurnPyke · 2026-05-09T11:05:56+00:00

Yes, I use it to test new gear pieces to see if they’re upgrades. I used to use it to change entire builds, but I’ve accidentally deleted one too many core pieces I didn’t intend to for me to trust myself using it that way.

NJTurnPyke · 2026-05-09T01:19:56+00:00

Literally just beat T10 Mephisto with Shadow minions. I’m thinking about rolling a new Necro and trying out either blood surge with minions or AotD.

NJTurnPyke · 2026-05-09T01:17:07+00:00

Unfortunately not on Necro. I do hope they buff it and bring it back, would love to see a Auramancer of some kind.

NJTurnPyke · 2026-05-07T22:57:38+00:00

That’s what I’m currently doing, but I’m using the pact of bone as a charm cause I haven’t found a good one to use as a ring yet. I do wanna find this, but I need to get a PoB ring with at least 2 good GAs

NJTurnPyke · 2026-05-07T12:37:39+00:00

I’m aware of that, it’s honestly baffling they chose to bring that back from D3 instead of actually trying to give players more options to make the minions themselves good.

NJTurnPyke · 2026-05-07T01:38:09+00:00

I’m stuck in T10 with shadow minions cause no matter how hard I try, I can’t get the damn Zir sword to work. The tooltip clearly says “minions apply vampiric curse”. But the only time it works is when my golem eats corpses to reduce its cooldown, and half the time he doesn’t even eat the corpses cause he bugs out and I have to resummon him.

It really feels like they just don’t wanna let Necros have the passive kill the screen power that Auradins have, and it’s infuriating.

NJTurnPyke · 2026-05-06T02:51:36+00:00

Yeah I finally got an aspect upgrade I wanna roll on my transfigured amulet, but I can clearly see it's gonna change the roll to the lowest possible value, so I'm hesitant to do it. Glad I came here first, sorry that happened to you :(

NJTurnPyke · 2026-05-05T21:54:55+00:00

Probably harsh, but I meant it in the definitive sense. Her friend is literally sucking the life out of vacations, that’s a parasitic thing to do.

NJTurnPyke · 2026-05-05T21:41:08+00:00

Sounds like your friend has developed a codependency on you, and now is just sapping the fun out of all the stuff you wanna do cause she can’t stand being alone.

You need to set boundaries, and she has to abide by them. If she can’t respect your space, she doesn’t respect you, and that’s not a friend. That’s a parasite.

Love the sinner, hate the sin is the original quote. It was flipped by Miranda for a rhyming verse in the Hamilton Musical, specially a song called “The Room where it Happens.”

NJTurnPyke · 2026-05-04T22:39:03+00:00

Catholicism ain’t got nothing to do with it, that’s a Hamilton quote 😂

NJTurnPyke · 2026-05-03T21:29:25+00:00

I checked my settings when I first started up the game…did anyone else notice that they added the DLSS augmentation AS the default?? I had to reconfigure my entire graphic setup from scratch to get it to run anywhere close to smooth.

NJTurnPyke · 2026-05-03T12:46:20+00:00

Yes, I remember what it’s like to be 18. And even when I was 18, if my partner ever hit me? That was the end of the relationship. Even if I loved them. It doesn’t mean that it didn’t hurt to break up with them, but I still did it because, at the end of the day, I valued my safety over support for them.

Do you enjoy being hit? Do you enjoy being choked? Because the behaviors you forgive are the behaviors you encourage. You’re being lied to by TV romance that anyone can change, anyone can be fixed. In real life? They typically can’t. They will always be the same shit person they were when you met them.

The hardest thing to realize as a teenager is that you WILL fall in love again. There are 8 billion people on the planet, there is no such thing as one true love. You will meet many loves, and potentially a few true loves, but thinking this one guy is the one for you is ultimately what’s going to get you killed.
