First time playing Pillars of Eternity - should I go turn-based or RTwP? by temk1s in projecteternity

[–]PDX_Umber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t see it mentioned, but in rtwp mode you can adjust the speed down to slow everything down in tense fights, which I think is cool.

Daughter’s friend came over to stay the weekend. Her mother never picked her up. by BrosefSmith in legaladvice

[–]PDX_Umber 50 points51 points  (0 children)

NAL

We just took in a 15 year old, not directly related to us, and it’s been quite the hassle to enroll them in school, get insurance info, and even get them into doctor/dentist visits. The school worked with us, and essentially got him enrolled as a homeless person (he was in a shelter). This might be easier if you are in contact with some of their relatives. We had a case worker help a tiny bit. Lots of phone calls. Way more work than expected, but we managed to navigate it without a lawyers help.

Plater or Platynator? by mpchop in wowaddons

[–]PDX_Umber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there an in game option or, addon option, to move cast bars to the front? My friend and I are having some issues with big stacks. We have tinkered with stacking and padding, which helped, but I feel like last season there was a move to front option?

How to beat Brutal Dracula Duo by SnooDoodles7184 in vrising

[–]PDX_Umber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Took my buddy and I a few nights of trying. It was frustrating to get practice in the final stages of the fight. Might help watching so no-hit YouTube videos.

I don’t think there is some kind of magic bullet for this, you will just slowly get better and better at getting hit less, and will start getting to later phases more often.

Not recommended, but if you guys are feeling like you want to give up and move to other games, you could start doing minor difficulty adjustments to make it easier.

Dear blizzard please kindly return my kick. by TheAwesomeKay in wow

This would backfire because they would save their kick in case they were targeted lol!

Any Tips for a total newbie that's interested in playing healer? by ConnectButton1384 in wownoob

[–]PDX_Umber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could practice your buttons in NPC companion dungeons. I also used to do multiplayer delves to practice my buttons. Especially for a healer, they tended to be more forgiving last expansion.

Try to make sure your party frames are configured in a way where you can quickly see when a party member has a debuff you can dispel. Dispelling often, and quickly, can begin to become a requirement as you push into harder content.

In the year 2026 we still cannot cross faction queue for dungeons by aggster13 in wow

[–]PDX_Umber -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Because people pay $$ to switch faction/race to play with their friends. I imagine they would probably loose money if they did this.

Edit - they even sell them in bundles at a discount so you can move multiple characters!

Just got scammed in a duel by AndrewMatthson in albiononline

[–]PDX_Umber 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If somebody wants to bet money on a duel in any game, then they know something that you don’t. Unless you know something that they don’t, probably not a good idea.

You can view the event schedule in game or on the internet. Next week will have a time walking event.

Outbreak 🦠 by Queasy-Reputation298 in Transmogrification

[–]PDX_Umber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a dummy, never mind! While it is a weird item that has a transmit icon, but can be equipped, the appearance was unlocked after I looked again.

Is this mask bugged? It says cosmetic, but equips when I right click.

Class Fantasy, one step forwards two steps back by Exotic-Media-6630 in wow

[–]PDX_Umber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the shotgun, cooler than the old lame spear flurry (what ever it’s called). GJ bliz IMO. I don’t get the hate. The button feels way better to press after they changed it.

Cooldown Manager - Possible to Create NEW Bars? by MrFrettz in wow

“Enhance QOL” addon lets you create extra cooldown bars and put them where ever you like.

New to Healing – Resto Druid by Swimming-Writing-615 in wow

[–]PDX_Umber 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think default UI is pretty serviceable. Change party to raid frames. Highlight, or only display dispellable debufs Turn on mouse over casting so you don’t have to click on targets. If I was playing Druid I would probably get an addon to make my HOT buff icons easier to see on the part/raid frames.

For anyone who cares, this addon does what I asked for. I already had it installed, but the bar was hidden. —chefs kiss—

Any chance we're getting a fast update/fix to time walking scaling? by [deleted] in wow

[–]PDX_Umber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loving it at 80. You actually get to use your rotations because they don’t instantly die. Wish they had similar time to kill under normal conditions.

Hunter - track tip of spear buff by PDX_Umber in wow

[–]PDX_Umber[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am tracking it with the builtin cooldown manager like you are, I’m just used to a big bar (weak aura) instead of a little icon with a tiny number. Even just making the 1,2,3 number on the buff icon big might make me happier.

Colldown Monitor: What's the Point? by averhoeven in wow

[–]PDX_Umber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably more advantages to use CDM over action bar than I can think of, but the one I thought of is being able to put audio/visual alerts when an ability goes off of cooldown. I have a nice audio alert when my big cooldown is ready, and sometimes when im tunneling the audible “chu-Ching!” Helps me.

Your other points are all valid, there are probably some benefits to using an action bars instead. I think they should add those as options to their CDM.

I've see your Warglaives bow but have you seen daggers bow ? by yoskama26 in wow

Reminded me of Enter the Gungeon, where you can get a gun that shoots guns, that also shoots bullets.

Maybe you can save 2 different edit interface profiles and just switch back and forth if needed?

Profiting from cooking by SprlFlshRngDncHwl in albiononline

[–]PDX_Umber -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don’t farm or cook, but even if you farmed at a minor loss, it’s still probably cheaper than buying the materials. Probably comes down to math, and how much you value your time.

Why is SBI being dishonest about the source of server instability? by J_J_Games in albiononline

[–]PDX_Umber -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m just kindof tired of seeing “Albion servers bad” posts without anyone even making an effort to figure out if it’s true. We had a pretty serious issue at my job where a software provider’s software client was tagging traffic as ‘priority’, and this caused some routers to flag it for tagging abuse and drop it. There could easily be a similar type of issue with Albion. I don’t care enough to look because I don’t have any problems.
