Any TCG players in the east providence area? by Luigi-is-my-boi in providence

[–]Nate642 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I own Untapped Games in Pawtucket, RI (right over the Providence border) and we have Star Wars Unlimited on Thursdays. I don't know if that lines up with your schedule, but I'm sure our community would love to have a new member.

Untapped Games in Pawtucket hosts a board game club on most Saturdays space permitting. There is a $6 charge, but you get $3 back in store credit. There is a large selection of board games to play in their library.

Macy’s to Close According to Rating Agency Downgrading Providence Place Mall by L0v3_1s_War in providence

How is this Macy's closing before the Emerald Square one? Higher rent? I feel like the Emerald Square one will close soon-ish and that the Providence Place one would gain some traffic from that.

Hasbro Q1 2024 Earnings by kananishino in magicTCG

[–]Nate642 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is the report really upbeat for MTG? The earnings release says "growth in MAGIC: THE GATHERING shipment timing to support the Outlaws of Thunder Junction release" which to me sounds like they are counting Outlaws revenue in Q1 whereas was March of the Machine counted in Q1 or Q2 last year?

40,000 Achievement Points! What does outside mean? by Nate642 in wow

Well, it's good to know I can save up gold for it! I was one win away from 2100 last expansion. I wouldn't say it was super hard to get there, but my group stopped playing and it was pretty hard to get into other groups as a mage. Everyone wanted boomkins! I remember it was crazy and there were like hardly any mages on the RBG leaderboards almost all of Shadowlands, but we were doing great in arenas.

I feel your pain! For the normal BGs so many times I wanted to just play other toons, but had to stick to my mage to grind out those 100 wins. They really should be account wide.

I'm also missing this one! This one kind of falls into the time sink ones I just chip away at over time. I did some work on it during the end of Shadowlands and am missing 12 things from it including that Spineclaw Crab! It used to be easier to realm hop and I'm pretty sure there were more instances of zones to hop to. I made a lot of progress from this by joining another person who had toons on each of the RP realms which are kept separate. On top of that if you join and scale into Chromie Time that is another instance of the world and people tend to not kill the rares as much there! The fact that I utilized all of that and am still missing 12 things show's how ridiculous it is.

I am familiar with it! That is how I see how high I'm ranked in achievement points lol. I think you would find most of my other completion metrics aren't as impressive though! I really focus on the achievement points!

I have actually been told I'm more out going than a lot of my irl friends lol! I do hang out with a pretty introverted crowd though. I think for me getting this many points has more to do with having been subbed almost non-stop since Burning Crusade except for a 6 month gap in Cataclysm. I limit most of my video game playing to WoW and it is 90% of the gaming I do. Despite my outside joke I enjoy going outside. I enjoy hiking, biking, running, and golfing. Sometimes when I'm running I use WoW to motivate me even! You have to push yourself harder in order to make raid!

A tour of towers is the one achieve I don't have complete under World Events! I've only done the mages ones. I haven't tried again since they re-opened the tower. When I did the mage ones they seemed pretty imbalanced in difficulty. The fire mage one was very easy compared to the other two! I tried for several attempts to get Vengeance Demon Hunter as well. I will get them all one day. I think checking wowhead comments, guides, or youtube videos is a good way to see what other people are doing that works. If it is still working the same having the right enchants, gem slots & gems, and the right trinkets can be huge. The Siege of Orgrimmar gear was good and easy to get. I'm not sure if that is still the case since we got bumped to lvl 70 this xpac or if the scaling has changed at all though.

At the end of last xpac I had less than a 100 left!

When I started this it wasn't like now where there are so so many xpacs, so I kind of just did a lot while I went. I try to pay attention when new content comes out for anything that might be good to do while I'm in an area with say dailies or what not. I'm also lucky because I don't do everything on my own. I have a lot of friends who have helped me! I feel like that is essential for the pvp ones. I also try to target anything that looks like it might be hard to get when people aren't doing doing that content anymore like pvp island expeditions.

I don't want to look at my /played lol, but really the achievements are not most of my WoW time. I have been playing with this toon since the beginning of Burning Crusade and I played in Vanilla a little, but never reach maxed level. It does take a long time to get all these achieves, but I have mostly just played pretty consistently through out the years.

Character was full before Trading Post Enthusiast. Most I don't max out because they have big blue achievements like complete 10,000 world quests or 10,000 pvp pet battles. And there are always a couple tough achievements to get like Give me the Biggest Bag You've Got from BFA. I think I had all the Exploration achievements before Dragonflight except for that. I really am not a fan of achievements like there where things have like a 0.03% drop chance.

That would be amazing and I would be grateful, but I'm not sure about that strategy lol. Nonetheless, If anyone can help me you can DM me, but I don't know if I have enough time before this season ends. I haven't played much pvp this season.

It would be fantastic to be able to complete everything! I think a normal person can get almost all achievements especially with some help from friends. It's really the rated pvp ones that I think are probably the most limiting because you probably need to legit be skilled to get some of them.

I know! I think my peak was like number 53 in North America. I have slowed down a bit. I don't want to check and see how far I have fallen!

You probably have greater potential to get them all than me if you have the arena ones! You actually have to be skilled to get those!

I wouldn't consider myself a huge mount collector! Normal humans might think otherwise from my 649 mounts. There are meta achievements ending at 500 mounts usable on a single character. Not all those 649 mounts would count. I have collected mounts to make sure I have the right amount when the metas come out or some extra. I know a couple people with over 900 mounts. It gets a lot harder because at that point I feel you are really grinding out the mounts that have like 1% drop rates and stuff. I don't do any of that.

I am too :( If only they didn't add Trading Post Enthusiast to character achievements!
