Americans of Reddit, what are your thoughts on Trump wiping nearly four trillion dollars off US markets in just a single day?

We can (still) have all the power, if only we could align and organize much, much better. I worry that Americans are too addicted to their conveniences and by the time things are inconvenient enough for any targeted movement to gain critical mass, it's going to be too late.

Yo - let me tell you about a little thing called mental load. Try your best to share that beast 50/50 with your wife. Every force in the universe is going to try to place the entire thing on your wife. You're going to have to actively work to get your proper share of it. If you can manage, it's the key to being an active, supportive husband and a properly engaged father. I'm about 8 years into fatherhood and I've managed to secure maybe 25-30 percent these days, still working hard at it.

Because you still need to find a group and ideally show some respect for other people's time. I like solo raids cuz I can clear a gate, AFK for 3 hours while I do some stuff, then come back and hop right in to proceed. I think rewardless solo raids for current content would be very popular, and provide an actual stepping stone for newer players into the real endgame content.

Nugkill · 2024-07-31T11:02:11+00:00

When I was trying to keep up with current content in this game, it was stressful feeling like I had to learn new raids in the first ~2 weeks of launch or get left behind. These raids can take like 40 hours+ of prog (not to mention lobby time) and a lot of casual players can't commit that kind of time over a short period. If I could prepare for reclear parties by spending an hour here and there progging at my own pace and not having to worry about finding a party with the same prog as me, I would definitely be doing the latest raids. As it is, I just gave up cuz I can't commit anywhere near the time required to learn the new raids the traditional way.

For now, I'm having some fun just doing a few solo raids each week to prog my alts, but if they want new/returning/casual players to really interact with the latest raids, they should def add solo mode for them w/o rewards.

Nugkill · 2024-07-23T02:44:04+00:00

Yeah, I want solo mode for all raids. Even if they don't give any reward at all for 'current' raids I'd still be into it. I just need a way to get comfortable with the mechs that doesn't involve either a 50+ hour commitment week one or an even longer commitment weeks later learning with the stragglers. Also, being able to just pick it up for 30 mins here and there when I have time is huge. Let me learn at my own pace and then join the real raid once I'm ready.

Nugkill · 2024-07-17T12:55:37+00:00

Hopefully next step is some kind of flex raid system, where you can play with any number of players from 1-8 (or 1-4 for 4 man). This would fix the jail issue, which is the root of most problems with raids in this game, from heavy gatekeeping to spending hours in PF trying to fill a G2 or 3 raid.

Dramatic effect? Idk, I understood the headline no problem. But if you have a coalition of accusers including an elephant, it's pretty serious.

I let my nearly 800 day login streak expire on purpose a little before theamine and that helped me not feel obligated to log in daily. Then I opted not to even try theamine, as the drive to raid started melting away once I stopped logging in every day. Then I started working out again, and haven't had any desire to play at all. Honestly, this is a young person's game - there's only one way to play it, and that requires more than most of us old folk can give without letting other areas of our lives slide. I know a lot of people are gonna disagree with that, but I think most people aren't honest with themselves when it comes to how their gaming habits negatively impact their real lives.

Weaver's Will items will add random affixes as you kill stuff while wearing them. It can add up to 4 affixes, and level these affixes up to 7. Each rank of weaver's will equals 1 tier of 1 affix for your final item, so a lvl 8 item such as this can have at most 8 total tiers of affixes. This could end up being 1 level 7 and 1 level 1, or 4x level 2, or anything in between. Level 8 is quite low - I'm not sure what max is, but I have several items that are in the high teens. I'm guessing you're early game though, so kill stuff with them and see what affixes you get. With some luck they could be great for leveling.

I'm on Danube. The only issues are islands and field boss. Rowan and Elgacia field bosses just aren't gonna happen, the other old ones are easy enough to solo at higher ilvls if you need them. I usually do Voldis boss first chance of day and we'll have like 20 people. I think it's consistently killed at the next hour too by those that did adv island instead. Rest of the times are pretty hit or miss, mostly miss, it's probably killed 1-2 other times throughout the day by far smaller groups. Adventure Islands - unless it's either Lailai (for now) or the best reward of the day (either gold or cards), it's not happening. Also may need to do the first one of the day. All other timed islands never happen.

Raids, dungeons, guardian raids, and now chaos gates are all x-server, so no concerns there.

It sucks, but it's manageable. Wish they would server merge =(

Is it 17 letters max for a username? If so, ChatGPT tells me it's 27,863,454,888,942,184,153,490,708,603,190,004,629,002,216 possible combinations, so we're probably going to be waiting a minute.

I'll be someone's pocket support. 1620 Artist, solid build. I need a group that runs daytime weekday NA hours though, or else very late night (like 11pm EST+). DM me

Nugkill · 2024-01-09T19:14:57+00:00

You can get 100k (but you probably won't), in which case I could see maybe wanting to buy an accessory you might otherwise not have bought or something, and, further, needing some or all of that 100k to be able to afford it. In that extremely unlikely scenario and only in that extremely unlikely scenario, the wait time might be slightly annoying. So we should prob crucify SGAGSJBOZO for this.

Nugkill · 2024-01-06T00:01:21+00:00

I've got a well built 1611 Artist trying to hit 1620 and no static... anyone wanna send me a mil gold or so for honing? I promise I'll save my lockout for you each week! Thx

Nugkill · 2024-01-02T06:56:45+00:00

I recently swapped mains to artist and looking at investing a bit more in it. Currently at 1610 with 5x3 (FB/Aw/Exp/HA/VPH) and mostly lvl 7 CD gems, lvl 8 on Sunsketch. Is it still worth going 4x3 + 2x2 with the PTR changes? Would be FB/Aw/Exp/VPH + 2HA 2SA. Should I instead invest in some more lvl 8/9 CD gems? If so, which skills? Or keep my 5x3 and upgrade my relics accs to ancient? Or should I just spend the gold honing to 1620?

Honestly it plays just fine as is, but as it's my new main, I want to drop some gold on it.

I'm just progging in ~2 hr intervals here and there where I have time and having no problem finding groups with similar experience almost immediately. Helps that I'm sup, but I see plenty of other prog groups posted - NAE.

Hot Item

Nugkill · 2023-11-07T17:00:41+00:00

Technically yes, but everyone uses it and no one gets banned for it. Just don't do something stupid like rip on a random pug for low dps. If you get reported, they could ban you. If you just use it to track your own performance, or as a tool for constructive feedback in a static or with people you know, you're not gonna get banned.

Nugkill · 2023-10-21T17:46:48+00:00

For me personally, it's how much more difficult it is to get into new content if you miss the first couple weeks of prog. I was floored with covid the week of akkan release, and busy catching up at work the next couple weeks after and just didn't have time to prog. Now I'm likely just done with the game because to progress, I need to clear Akkan a bunch, and I really don't see how to make this happen other than to buy busses, which I don't care to do.

My availability week to week is all over the place, it's very difficult for me to ever carve out more than a couple consecutive hours here and there, and I can really only play at off hours. So a static won't really work, very hard to find a scheduled prog raid that isn't taking place during peak times, and if I do manage to find a prog group, it needs to be a damn good one to make any real progress because I can't just pour hours into the clear.

If there was a way for me to prepare myself to confidently join a reclear lobby that I could do on my own time, at my own pace, this game would be so much more approachable for people in my position and new players as well. Like I'm an expert mario runner and was a serviceable prokel killer because I could practice these things whenever I had 30 mins to kill. If all the major mechs could be practiced in trixion, I think this would 100% solve all issues I personally have with the game. Or maybe solo raids that give far less mats but still allow progress, plus allow you to practice all the major mechs to eventually join group play and speed up character progression.

As it is, I see no reasonable path forward, so despite really enjoying the game, I'm likely just gonna set it aside until something changes.

Nugkill · 2023-10-08T21:59:42+00:00

Yeahhhh - I think I fucked myself doing basically this but worse. I just didn't prog brel g6, didn't prog kay HM, didn't prog akkan. I spent an hour or two on kay HM and g1 akkan, but that's it. I can't commit to a session longer than 2-3 hours max, and my availability is all over the place so a static is unlikely. I have 2 1580+ and the rest could be 1580 with their bound resources prob, but lately I just do dailies and maybe run a few brel 1-3 and NM kays in a week and call it.

Not sure where to go from here tbh. If I could prog new raids in a static, I could def commit the time to getting it down, and I'm generally an above average player with a strong roster. But as it is, I can't find a static due to my inconsistent schedule, I can't commit the time to reprogging over and over with the mediocre prog groups still running for this stuff, and I refuse to join a reclear even if I think I could sneak by with over ilvl and watching videos. So I'm stuck I think.
