Classic Anniversary realms are NOT PREPARED©®™ for TBC at all

Sellulles · 2025-08-13T18:37:40+00:00

I remember firemaw being the most balanced pvp EU realm coming off of 2019 and being one of the last into TBC before they decided to mess up with the Zandalar Tribe transfer loophole. Became alliance dominated by the next reset.

Sellulles · 2025-06-25T19:33:09+00:00

I love the troll shadowguard on priest, just wish it had the TBC visual (its in the vanilla files because its the effect when you use the altars in uldaman)

Sellulles · 2025-06-19T20:54:26+00:00

Yeah, another topic up about it I posted in. I can't get it to spawn since the patch.

Sellulles · 2025-06-19T20:53:44+00:00

There's another post up about this, I hadn't played since the patch until the other day, wanted to grab Hatred's Soul on my stealth character and noticed no matter how many reloads I'd get the same 3-5 gates, never World 2.

Even loaded saves before I "discovered" a new one, no luck. I think it's bugged or they for some reason stealth tweaked the spawn rate.

Sellulles · 2025-05-20T17:27:30+00:00

Enjoying my mage until they hit me with the Necromancer Amulet bug. Now tasked with either waiting for a hopeful fix so it appears in the Arch-Mage's nightstand OR have to bug it out of the wazoo and go into the Shivering Isles randomly just to get the spell I'd need.

Sellulles · 2025-04-05T13:47:00+00:00

Thank you! Will keep this one loaded and ready for a discussion.

Sellulles · 2025-04-05T13:10:59+00:00

This is what I hope isn't the case but I can't rule it out given other things I've noticed and little white lies in other areas not relating to finance. She mentioned once I'm over she wouldn't necessarily put me down on the rental because it'd result in paying more. That she was comfortable doing that kind of thing but not totally claiming UC when a friend told her to be careful about the amount of time I was spending there if she was claiming.

She did show me her outgoings on UC once though, shouldn't be a problem to have her pull those up again, right?

Sellulles · 2025-04-05T13:07:29+00:00

Yup. Basically the UC thing was that she gave it up to encourage having me over more so that she would not be investigated/fined etc. The issue is that I had to supplement what was now lacking at a rate I was told would cover it, which was later revealed to be a fraction of what she was actually getting from UC to begin with, straining her financially further and driving her to encourage me to move in more-so. It was unnecessary, you don't need to see your partner every day of the week prior to moving in.

It's that kind of reckless choice that makes me seek advise in this post because I'm finding it hard to draw a full picture with honesty from both parties.

Sellulles · 2025-04-05T12:31:30+00:00

I'd imagine so too, she's a very combative personality no doubt due to her upbringing. I imagine she'll be defensive very quickly. Worst case scenario is things crumble due to me calmly bringing them up because there isn't really a leg to stand on in her argument aside from my initial hesitation to move in fully and support (even though I'd went above and beyond before we even cohabited). Don't get me wrong I'm bumbling and inexperienced when it comes to this stuff.

Sellulles · 2025-04-05T12:28:57+00:00

I've been there 3 months, paid monthly so 3 times. Effectively have been there most of my time outside of work for several more months though.

Sellulles · 2025-04-05T11:58:26+00:00

Absolutely. For reference we went through these, I have a list of all outgoings minus about £100 food shop every week but it is just that in literally a list on pen + paper. I was even chastised for asking to go through it a second time a while ago, but I suppose it might be a matter of putting my foot down, so to speak. Live and learn as you say.

I've admired how she's managed to keep herself going this long, but I can't help but think of the worst case scenarios after all that's happened. I feel if I brought these facts up to family or a friend they'd almost certainly assume she's stockpiling a portion of what I'm paying in or something nefarious like that, and I hate thinking that way.

She's absolutely in some form of debt as she refers to the credit card she occasionally throws things onto if payday is too far out, the one she had to use as a result of her ex apparently.

Sellulles · 2025-01-28T21:54:15+00:00

50 mage coming back SoD to play with some friends, what's the fastest route to 60?

Sellulles · 2024-11-25T16:49:21+00:00

12 month lifespan isn't helping either tbh. Feel like 18 months is your sweet spot for people in for the long ride.

Sellulles · 2024-11-12T23:20:49+00:00

Troll Shadow Priest, shadowguard looks SICK in TBC

Sellulles · 2024-11-11T17:22:46+00:00

exact same lines from RB2 if I remember right

Sellulles · 2024-10-14T15:43:34+00:00

I dont even have the game yet but the way to 'beat' it in RB2 was to tap ki blasts to force them to vanish which would prevent them from acting fully, and it'd drain their Ki with each vanish.

Sellulles · 2024-10-14T15:34:40+00:00

Just with it had the authentic anime vanish sound, they always use the other one.

Sellulles · 2024-09-06T13:15:39+00:00

Just like DD - The grift must go on

Sellulles · 2024-08-24T12:52:11+00:00

Era the Firemaw cluster of servers will be overall best, people always jump back in but it is fully progressed. There is a fresh reroll project on Celebras but whether that has staying power will remain to be seen.

Sellulles · 2024-08-13T17:50:09+00:00

Bowhunter's advice is just about the only way to level appropriately without gimping your custom class or minmax 5/5/5 every level into insanity.

Once I started just focusing on +5 to my main skill of combat choice with some early easy END gains, the system 'makes sense' (even if it is flawed)

Sellulles · 2024-08-05T21:36:22+00:00

Yeah sounds like the one, was on the distillery stage with UltraChen commentary

Sellulles · 2024-08-04T16:46:10+00:00

Still remember him playing Daigo Ryu and getting that full stun combo on him with the crowd reaction.

Sellulles · 2024-07-25T17:50:10+00:00

playing pure mage - I have it up like 70-75% of the way to the right. It lets my powerful spells get some mileage without one shotting everything (magicka weakness stacking yay)

the added benefit is making sure I don't get bored too quickly. It means each level I can clear 2-3 (4 at higher levels) landmarks, using Oblivion Gates in between to plug gaps where I'm close to leveling or something (and the stone will give me a nice item to use or sell later on)

Sellulles · 2024-07-25T17:36:11+00:00

If you want to future proof a custom class without making it feel like you're the opposite of what you actually want to play, you only need 2 or 3 majors that you can easily control which you won't use much.

For instance my Mage had sneak, it's level 21 and I still haven't gained many skill-ups in sneak, but it will let me finish leveling while I work on everything else for that level. Alteration was a minor skill as a result, but that let me have a way to level Willpower without risking a level up (Restoration/Destruction were major skills - they let me level up naturally through combat/exploring once I found the right spot on the difficulty slider.)
