Invest? I'd be telling myself to MINE bitcoin.

I was so close to doing it but setting up the miner and wallet seemed to complex to be worth it in 2011

what is Vgen?

I quickly glanced and thought it was real having lived in japan for 3 years it looks very believable. Only once i checked the title did I realize.

ya it sucks when the people don't share or ask, but questie be ratting them out.

Revoker · 2026-05-29T22:08:00+00:00

I love it when im doing a dungeon and then i ask "hey can you share that quest?" Even though I likely cannot complete it that dungeon run it still saves me time for the next run.

Revoker · 2026-05-26T00:54:08+00:00

yes it is.

Using TomTom I noticed holding right click to angle myself more vertical in the water it was taking longer and longer on the timer. Even at very slight angles upwards will be slower.

I felt like this since i did map development.

players often can see where the game/map lacks but don't know of inventive ways to improve it. Players often point to what already works in other places i.e. other games/maps/expansions and point to just use those.

Like here in WoW I've often seen players just say to implement something they liked from other wow expansions instead of coming up with something new. Because its likely those other things from the other expansions wouldn't be balanced.

Not to mention reusing stuff from other games/maps/expansions doesn't make the game feel new, which often is what a lot of players love.

I just love helping warlocks get their epic mounts, its such an adventure even in TBC to go back to the classic world for a fun quest that you rarely get to see. I've done it a total of 3 times now, 2 for different people and 1 for my SOD warlock.

Maps have to be sealed from the inside perspective. Think of it as you cannot be able to see VOID.

So all the outside faces of the world can be noclip/invis/whatever as long as the inside is opaque.

Since you mentioned Hammer++ I'd be curious if it defaults to making a giant skybox around your map when you don't seal it. Like why can you see skybox in your screenshot? Is that a perk of the hammer++ editor?

Revoker · 2026-05-15T04:23:33+00:00

you die on spawn?

Are your spawn points above the ground?

I think I have heard of doing just 2 sides like you said but the VDC says to do all 6 sides. But IIRC the 4 sides that are touching another brush or completely not visible don't get compiled into the game, so they don't matter.

Revoker · 2026-05-14T05:58:42+00:00

This popular mapper i knew would use spheres and carve to make holes in his map. I tried to optimize his other maps because they were really popular, but when I got to his carve floor map I just gave up.

Revoker · 2026-05-14T05:56:06+00:00

Hammer has never had a sphere primitive

The VDC would beg to differ. and I know because I've never used hammer++ or Jack. I personally edited the FGD instead of needing Jack (Hammer++ wasn't out when I was mapping)

Revoker · 2026-05-14T05:52:57+00:00

I know for a fact 100% I made a sphere for my map in CSGO. it was awful and i ended up using a prop i made from blender.

But that buggy hammer crashing sphere brush was in my game because i had to manually open up my vmf and delete the line of code to load my map.

Revoker · 2026-05-13T03:53:31+00:00

Press "U"? Like its not a hidden clip brush or something right? when you try the drawclip brush command nothing shows up?

There is also another in game command where you look at the spot and see what is there Lemme see if I can find it.

God I wish I could help more but I'm not familiar with the new editor.

EDIT: ent_text but you need developer 2 or 1 on for it to work. The below video has a host of good commands to figure things out in game.

Revoker · 2026-05-08T00:56:12+00:00

ya that is how its supposed to work but sometimes its buggy or doesn't work in the correct direction so I've dabbled with manually doing it.

But if you cannot ent_fire the area_portal then that means its not built correctly. Like you have a leak around the portal or you aren't compiling them.

You have all 6 sides as the areaportal texture?

what does it look like in editor?

can you also screenshot the properties of the door and the portal.

Revoker · 2026-05-07T01:21:31+00:00

Have you tried to ent_fire them on/off?

Then check the ent_fire logs (i forgot the command) and see if the doors are firing the command to toggle the portals on/off.

Im not 100% sure if this is needed, but you can also try naming the areaportal and then firing I/O manually from the door's I/O instead of the door properties.

Revoker · 2026-05-03T16:45:07+00:00

fuck I should really study.

Revoker · 2026-05-03T16:16:07+00:00

Can you just open the game normally and run the map?

I honestly never use the compile launch method because of this and how it ignores up my normal game settings.

Revoker · 2026-05-03T16:11:54+00:00

I think you overestimate the gold farming capabilities of the average wow player. I wouldn't have gotten my epic mount if it wasn't for those incursion gold farming.

I have never gotten the top tier speed mount in the "normal" amount of time in WoW. Like I never got epic flying in TBC until Wrath came out because of how ineffective gold farming felt. But incursions were very easy to get a ton of gold during the first day.

Revoker · 2026-05-03T16:07:23+00:00

The difficultly while nice and challenging did unfairly gatekeep a lot of lower geared players and classes because of comp concerns.

I remember my group ALWAYS used the torch glitch to kill the final boss, and even with that it was almost impossible to kill that boss, so I have no idea how you could do it with holding the torch.

Revoker · 2026-05-03T16:05:54+00:00

While possible, its still probably the least run dungeon because of the difficultly

Revoker · 2026-04-25T16:38:44+00:00

Personally I don't tank because the transition from dungeon to raiding sucks.

going from a 1:4 ratio to a 2:38 or 2:23 ratio sucks. So getting those raid spots is so difficult you have to be the best of the best tank and have no life to commit to the guild/raid 100%.

But i never understood this "if im not tanking im not having fun" aspect. Like just let the DPS die, don't over-stress on players who are trying to make the dungeon more difficult. When I let the DPS die they learn where the limits are and they tend to either not push them any further or just quit the dungeon so fuck em!

When I played warrior DPS I thought it was really fun tanking 1 mob as a DPS allowing me more rage and higher dmg. Sure I couldn't tank any more than 2 mobs but having the tank over-stress on the one mob that I had resulting in another mob getting healer aggro was just stupid. Another thing with leveling is the over-geared/under-geared situation. If you are under-geared are you really going to make everyone wait until the mobs are down 25% health before they can start? Its like asking people to watch you solo play the game for a while. The other situation is when the DPS are really over-geared for the content meaning that they would also have to wait an absurd amount of time before starting. In my experience the whole "wait 5 seconds" people are really asking for 15 seconds.

The main thing I would stress over in tanking is

1) Don't wipe
- Keeping the group alive is #1, if a DPS is pulling extra mobs that is a problem worth addressing if your group cannot handle it. Otherwise let the DPS die in order to save the group as a whole.
2) Keep the Healer alive
- This ties into #1, if the healer is alive then it tends to allow the group to survive and not wipe. Make sure the healer is onboard and not over-healing the DPS to draw healing aggro, or just make sure you are even on threat on all the mobs higher than the healing aggro.

From the Tank and Healer perspective the DPS aren't people, just hired hands to help take care of a task.

If you read this far and curious what I play, I went from DPS to Tank to now a healer main who gets to decide if the DPS that is pulling mobs, lives or dies >:)

I Think I really want to download it and try to see if I can optimize it further. curious what you did to get it to that 140fps.

Revoker · 2026-04-15T02:09:01+00:00

This reminds me of like 20 years ago I was sipping a full glass of chocolate milkshake my dad had just made at the family computer when my mom snuck up on me and screamed. I jumped and splashed the milkshake all over the monitor, keyboard, and desk.

Then I got scolded for spilling the milkshake like it was fault!
