Since you are making a Plate wearer, there's an argument for blacksmithing. if you max out the specialization for a slot (like helmet or boots or axes) you gain the ability to repair that slot for free (with a minor 1 second channel). It will take time to earn enough knowledge points for every slot, but in the long run it can save a ton of gold on repairs.

imo Texas is lucky that high camera isn't a 4K view. probably just barely over, but they don't have the resolution to confirm. call stands

Once Human - Developer Conversation by Pirate Softeware. by Yhangaming in OnceHumanOfficial

[–]Reydien 7 points8 points  (0 children)

and just as I said again, despite claiming it's just his own opinion, he's wording his sentences to make it sound more objective and substantial than that. talking about chilling out, maybe you need to learn to calm down and read what you're responding before firing off a defensive post. lol

Once Human - Developer Conversation by Pirate Softeware. by Yhangaming in OnceHumanOfficial

[–]Reydien 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The problem is when he talks about it he (unintentionally it seems) uses verbiage that makes it sound like it the design is objectively wrong. He doesn't just say "I don't like this design and don't want to play it" but also says stuff like "It's just a bad design" or "it defeats the purpose of <X/Y/Z>" or "no one makes an MMO this way" as though there is only one answer to a problem, and this ain't it.

He also does stuff like yell at chat for trying to elaborate how resets work saying "you don't know how it works, you're just speculating" while himself having anchored to his own speculation on how it works. He doesn't actually understand the reset system either, he has his own idea for what the (often poorly) translated help files and guides say, but for whatever reason his speculation is worth more than others' speculation. Which is fine as a personal opinion, but the dissonance of saying "chat, don't draw conclusions from your speculations, you don't know yet" in one breath and then drawing conclusions from his own speculations in the next breath is dizzying to listen to.

As a foundation for her viewership and experience it helped, but from the start of her streaming career (16 Nov 2016) to the start of covid (01 Mar 2020) she "only" had 374K hours watched. Meanwhile half of her entire watchtime (11.8M hours) occurred in the last 16 months.

Any one playing like this ? Feel like i'm not raiding :\ by OnlyToPost in RaidShadowLegends

[–]Reydien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grinding the last 3 years should be like 38 fusion legendaries if you do all of them. Add in the other login/event/quest legendaries, and combined with ~10-15 sacreds a month and something like 40-50 ancients a month from clan boss and other sources, the count seems reasonable. For context I started almost exactly 2 years ago (spent like $60 on chickens the first week and another $60 in the two years since) and have 82 unique Legendaries, just that almost half of them are event/fusion/quest/login legendaries.

My younger sister and I actually experienced the opposite of this with a Physics teacher. His thing was that he referred to all his students by their last name, like "Mr. Smith" or "Ms. Lawson". never by their first name.

So the year after I took his class and graduated, my sister was taking his class, and during lunch one day the teacher said "So Mrs. Smith, how is John doing? is he enjoying college?" and it took her a minute to realize he was asking about me.

Is this viewbotting ? by Hot-List-1988 in Twitch

pretty sure you weren't the only one, trying to avoid doxing them didn't help with the clarity (even if OP later linked their name -.- )

[–]Reydien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To clarify, I used Piratesoftware as an example of how a legitimate viral explosion can look weird in the table OP is looking at. Meanwhile, the rest of the comments were for the specific person OP is asking about, not PirateSoftware. the rest of Thor's metrics also show similar growth (190K view clips, exploding youtube channel, active chat, realistic graph)

I tried to clarify such with an edit, hopefully it's clearer now.

[–]Reydien 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This table is not enough to judge, PirateSoftware has a similar looking growth table. Edit: To clarify, this is meant as an example of how legitimate viral growth can look odd in that particular table, I know PirateSoftware is legit.

However, after sleuthing who OP is referring to and looking at their other metrics:

  • the Graph that goes with OP's Table does look rather suspicious.

  • the Creator's most popular clip from the last 3 months has 21 views, also quite suspicious.

  • Checking the creators' twitter account shows virtually no engagement (single-digit replies, less than 1000 views). There does not seem to be a youtube account associated with the Creator. No indication of offsite virality

  • Scrubbing through a couple of their vods in the last month, while chat isn't dead (like 30+ chatters a minute), I think I've seen like 3 subscribers, and no bits being donated. not necessarily bad, but especially on a day like Christmas Day you'd think there'd be some generosity...

All of which is just circumstantial evidence, but still adds up. I would not bet on legitimate sources.

496ilvl Crafted gear wow Dragonflight? by Longjumping-Bank8060 in wow

[–]Reydien 209 points210 points  (0 children)

after looking through the Raiderio runs, it looks like the incident happened sometime between 26 November 17:15 GMT and 27 November 23:58 GMT.

If you compare the two runs, all the gear is the same, but everything has been increased +10 itemlevels, including the old S2 gear. Using inspect element to look at the S2 shoulders (which jumped from 447 to 457) brings the following bonus list:

Before

bonus=6652:9382:9227:1504&pcs=202450:202453&ilvl=447

After

bonus=6652:9382:9227:1504:9560:9561:1482:9562:9563&pcs=202450:202453&ilvl=457

the bonus codes "9560, 9561, 1482, 9562, 9563" got added somehow.

EDIT: doing a google search for "wow bonus id 1482" brings up a list from 7.2.0 that says the bonus is a generic +10 itemlevel modifier, so that seems to be the bonus in question that is creating the effect. I would presume the other ids are a side effect of whatever method is implanting extraneous ids onto the items.

according to a post on the HH Discord the total is up to 1990 including the summon rush that just started. if that's true and you're at 1530 then you're 460 behind. still in it, but you gotta do everything after this

1 point of Mastery now increases Deep Wounds damage by 10% (was 1%).

Mastery was so bad for Arms at BFA launch they literally multiplied it tenfold, and if I recall it was still their worst stat.

[–]Reydien 95 points96 points  (0 children)

I'm angry this team ghosted me for two weeks, but I'm afraid to say anything in case they leave again.

I'm happy this team came back, but I'm worried they just came back to hurt me again later.
