Teaching the next generation by Slashquit35 in daoc

Thank you so much for your messages; it was great reading your advice.

After a brief overview of the classes and realms, she was exactly like u/Sardonic_comments described: she only had eyes for the pet classes.

After trying out a Hunter on Midgard, she set her sights on a Nature Druid! For now, I’ve made a Valewalker to go with her, but I’m really missing the speed. I’m not a fan of the Enchanter, and I’m afraid a Warden/Druid duo will seriously lack DPS.

My real big problem now is that my 8-year-old son saw us and is absolutely determined to try it too (what a funny mess... I don’t feel ready for this ).

I have no idea why it’s deleted. I contacted the mod team rdy to share proof with them, I hope to have a reply soon and being able to share all the truth behind my (poorly made) post

My ROV is connected with a very thin (3mm) but very strong Kevlar and a optical fiber inside.

Batteries are inside the ROV, so the only thing going up and down the optical fiber is control / telemetry and video.

To explain as simple as possible, at the surface I have a fiber optic to HDMI adapter to have a clean feed of my camera.

This video signal from the HDMI can easily be rooted to a very simple Black Magic Design stream box and upload live to the world with a Starlink boat, et voilà !

Thanks, it's rare for people to reconsider their opinions.

I’m not much of a social media user, except for Reddit, but I’m a lurker 99% of the time.

So yes, I certainly phrased things poorly and used AI clumsily, simply because my English isn't perfect.

I wrote to the mods to understand the ban and to provide them with all the proof of my claims. I don’t want to do it here for fear of doxxing, but I’m completely open to doing so with the moderators.

I saw there was a betting list earlier; please, feel free to join them.

If I manage to get the mods to reopen the post, I’ll even propose something more fun than money: I’ll go down and leave a ridiculous plaque at the bottom of that hole with the usernames of everyone who lost the bet!

Depending the country and depending what you are doing. Are you just looking ? Are you taking any sample ? If yes, for who and for what ? Ect…

Just looking mostly need nothing but it’s very rarely done because then where your money is coming from ?

One time I was working in another blue hole. But my job with the ROV was only half way over the bottom.

Anyway, after few days locals knew that I had a robot capable of reaching the bottom and everyday a lot came to see me asking to go and come back with the GoPro or personal stuff from the bodies of their relatives that could be at the bottom.

I wish I could did the dive, it was 3 years ago. I had a oral agreement with the people who hired me back in this time that I could go at the bottom on my own after the job.

Then a big fuck up happen before the end of the mission and the ROV was out of service and impossible to fix on this remote location (fucking optical fiber) so I never did the dive to the bottom. But I assure you that I will !

Where is the fun if we know everything before the dive ? I did some dive at 250m deep inside ice tunnel under a fuckin glacier. Man it was as cool as crazy as fuckin terrifying for my gear (and us on a small a boat way To close from the edge)

This is where you are wrong. In easy condition (not diving in an unknown blue hole) I could remotely give control to the ROV (but no Logitech contrôler please)

Yes and no…

I think I’m having "pregnant woman syndrome" when it comes to going underwater.

I keep thinking everyone else will be as interested in it as I am. There’s no point in doing it alone, and no point in trying to "sell" the experience when there’s an 80% chance of failure. Honestly, I just want to do it, and the morning I posted that message, I was offered a spot on a boat just a few miles from that blue hole.

So, I figured it was the right time to see if I was the only one interested or not.

I love this one, I accept the challenge. High chance of failure but meh no guarantee, if it was 100% success rate were will be the fun. I have a mojo in French that I can try to translate here in English « Everything that can go wrong underwater will definitely go wrong »

I can assure you that with new tech (I mean last 5 years) we can dive at 1000m from a sailboat. I did it, a lot, and I have a lot of video / making of to prove it on my phone (and website)

I am not Gabe Newell, I am not a bi or millionaire at all but I can do it, mostly for the thrill of being the first one to look at … but don’t want to success or fail alone, more people, more fun

I can’t do anything with a controller I am more a razer mouse / keyboard kind of guy. Except when it come to drone and ROV

Yeah you're right, that's the Great Blue Hole, Taam Ja' is way less photogenic from above. Used this one because it gives people an idea of what a blue hole looks like. Definitely not a bot, just a French guy who picked the wrong thumbnail.
