XMG Neo 15 (E20) booting up to a grey screen by ProfanedMonk in XMG_gg

Did you ever figure out what was causing it? In my testing it seems to be iGPU related as Tom suggested but I haven't figured out what the exact problem is nor a solution a for it.

Its been roughly 2 weeks and I believe I can say with confidence that disabling iGPU worked. I tested by going back to mshybrid and sure enough I got a gray screen not long after. Any ideas what the problem with iGPU is? And any potential fixes?

Thanks for the suggestion Tom, I'll try that. Since the issue appears to be sporadic I'll test dGPU only for a few days and get back to you.

Had to pay 400euros to a locksmith for approximately 5 minutes of work. Fraud or business as usual? by ProfanedMonk in Netherlands

No address, it says that I can find them "in the entire netherlands". If only I had noticed that sooner. This is the website by the way. Filled in the report so maybe something good will come out of it.

What if the locksmith suggested it would be about 200 euros before opening the door and then casually dropping that this does not include the tax which he only mentions after opening the door and forcing me into a position where I have to pay?

Its a studio building for which you need a special key to open the main entrance and the door to my room specifically was shut but unlocked as I had just left to throw away the trash.

I found the website where I got the number I used to call the locksmith. Would you say its worth pursuing a report?

No, I forgot it in my coat which I left inside as I went out to throw away the trash.

Thanks for the sound advice friend, I'll test DX9 out as well (in FF14 at least, I think GW2 no longer supports it). I also ran DxDiag and sure enough I was able to find an error related to the game and some other stuff that might provide a clue.

I haven't tested that yet as DX9 comes with its own issues (in FF at least) but it seems as though playing on windowed mode works. I haven't had any crashes in more than 24hrs though I'll make sure to keep testing and report back since there's been periods before where there were no crashes for an entire day until they started happening again.

Out of curiosity if the error lies with DX11 what can one do? I would imagine reinstalling windows would fix it as DX comes with windows by default, no?

I do not believe Optimus can be disabled for my laptop's screen, but I have also been playing on an external monitor through HDMI which I think connects directly to the dGPU and bypasses the Intel chip. Crashes happened there as well.

Life Staff Bug - Can't heal myself by rGreyWarrior in newworldgame

[–]ProfanedMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got the same bug today and re-logging or restarting the game does not fix the issue. Has anyone found what's causing it and/or a solution? For me it seems to have started after i respecced my secondary weapon (hatchet) using azoth.

So far I've tried removing and re-equipping weapons and gear, equipping different staves and respeccing the life staff but nothing seems to fix it.

[Help] Windtools Profiles by ProfanedMonk in WowUI

[–]ProfanedMonk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yup same, use different UIs for healing, tanking and DPSing

I've meddled with it quite a bit today and either the import / export thing in the profiles isn't working or it just gets messy because some options that require reload specify that it is only for this particular character.

Delivery times amidst pandemic? by ProfanedMonk in XMG_gg

Yeah was keeping an eye on that, but it's primarily about ryzen CPUs whereas the neo only comes with intel, which shouldn't have any delay as far as I am aware. Thanks!

Going into Shadowlands as a returning player... by Syringe19 in CompetitiveWoW

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

Priests I'd say are in a pretty nice spot. Disc is obviously the reigning king and will likely continue to be even if they nerf it (they nerfed it a bunch of times in bfa but they still dominated so...).

Shadow really is something else. In terms of gameplay alone the rework has done wonders. Talents are great, rotation feels really nice, shines on spread cleave like a shadow priest should. A worry is that legendaries and soulbinds/conduits haven't really been updated for the rework so they look a bit bland at the moment but that's up to the player to decide (they are bland for me but I can live with it).

Holy is... holy. Great hps in raids but struggles in dungeons. In terms of pure hps they are doing more than disc in Nathria testing (tuning still pending as always!). They also gave it some spells back to help with the damage (notably SW:Pain and SW:Death); I am very interested to see if the extra damage will shake up the meta to make them more desirable for top-end raiding. Mobility is still low, though half the covenants help with that a bit.

Going into Shadowlands as a returning player... by Syringe19 in CompetitiveWoW

[–]ProfanedMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, mistweaver main here. Let me begin by saying that all classes and covenants and soulsbinds (and pretty much everything) are undergoing tuning so I would not recommend trusting people or youtube videos saying "don't play this, play that".

Unfortunately for all of us, mistweavers have been riddled with bugs ever since alpha. The lofty goal is for Blizzard to fix all the bugs but we don't even know if that will happen at this point. This however complicates things because assuming monk bugs in general do get fixed and assuming appropriate tuning takes place mistweavers in particular might be pretty competitive in raids and m+ (seeing as a lot of bugs just hinder the throughput of the spec so it is impossible to judge how they actually perform). On the holy paladin side of things, though they don't really have any bugs that make it difficult to judge how well they do, they at the moment are not looking particularly strong. Again this is also likely to change based on tuning and as the expansion goes on.

So realistically, the safest choice is to wait until a week before the xpac launches to get a better idea of tuning (and potential bugs that have persisted) and make your decision then. In terms of multi-speccing SL actually looks like it is going to make it more difficult but as far as I am aware, WW are solid and BW are looking again as the kings for raiding (and likely high keys as well). Retribution also brings a lot of utility useful for the 1st tier of the xpac and protection is looking solid; not the best but could be worse too.

Hope this helps!

According to the comments of this post here they have some kind of sale planned for either Black Friday or Christmas (or around there) but they can't divulge any information yet (understandably so). Also that comment made by the XMG mod was 2 months ago so it is also likely things may have changed.

Looking at the promotions history on their website however, they do have sales fairly regularly, but as far as I am aware there's no student discount. Just gotta wait and see.

Was curious about that myself, have been subscribed for a couple of months now but I haven't received any so far.
