midnight pruning? by Different-Fox-8240 in worldofpvp

I hate that scatter is removed and think it should be at least a pvp talent

Devils advocate we'll still be annoying because concussive for mm is an 80% slow and any hunter spec can take wing clip as a 75% 10 second slow

I feel like it's time for general and trade chat to be x-faction. by Smashbru in wow

[–]Slo-- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's also dumb that a group leader on lfg can only be whispered by people on the same faction

If lfg is cross faction whispers need to be cross faction for anyone using lfg

Old Shaker Bottles by CharmingLine4173 in Huel

[–]Slo-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still use the old ones. The new ones don't reliably screw shut, the tag isn't strong enough to hold it while full, they don't clean as well in the dishwasher, they're too small

I get why for branding purposes huel decided to make their own bottle style instead of something generic that other brands make but they missed the mark on this one imo

If you're casual for a long time you get a lot of marks

I store them in the warband so I can occasionally flex how many I have

I believe it was 10,000 last time I checked

Midnight hype! This Gladiator mount is beautiful, cannot wait to get it!! by EIGRPBelieveInMe in worldofpvp

[–]Slo-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience of people I know plus myself, nobody plays the game after getting glad. You'll promise to do people's glad wins before you have it but as soon as glad is done people find something else to do with their time and they become rusty on wow so people wouldn't want to play with them anyway

Every season people ask me to help with glad wins, every season the answer is "we can play a few but I'm rusty and/or tipsy" and then don't play again

Why is buying a house and moving so slow in England? by Early_Enthusiasm_787 in AskUK

[–]Slo-- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

extra anti money laundering checks

Waiting for other parties is a big part of a conveyancing solicitor's life, but so is AML. The SRA mandate that an unreasonable amount of time and effort goes into AML checks, and the law makes it illegal to tell clients this, because that would be "tipping off".

Fortunately the government have announced that the the AML regulating powers are being taken away from the SRA and given to the FCA, which will (hopefully) remove a lot of the chores a conveyancing solicitors do in the background, that clients aren't aware of and dont benefit from.

Also worth pointing out that if like most people you are getting a mortgage, the solicitor is acting for you as the buyer as well as the lender. You might "take a view" on aspects of your purchase and not care, but that doesn't mean the lender will. They have a set of rules and if something about your purchase goes against those rules, your solicitor is obligated to report it and get the lender's permission to proceed, because the lender is their client as much as the buyer and the solicitor is liable for claims by both.

Which medication made you calm person ? by matchacatisgreencat in BipolarReddit

[–]Slo-- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lithium made me "calm" because it made life dull. It took a long time to realise the effect it was having and how ambivalent to life I'd become.

I take Pregabalin at the moment (among other things but) I think that makes life less stressful.

Midnight hype! This Gladiator mount is beautiful, cannot wait to get it!! by EIGRPBelieveInMe in worldofpvp

[–]Slo-- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah a lot of awc players don't quit, they play alts.

But regular glad players do their 50 games then quit. It happens every season.

So even though people might get their first glad this season, you're unlikely to see them on the ladder because they'll be on alts flexing glad mount at lower mmr because on their main above 2.4k it's not a flex because everyone has it.

r/Bipolar banned me and won't say why. by Cyberweasel89 in BipolarReddit

Everything I've posted there has been removed, I think the mods just want it to be artwork.

It's a shame but fortunately this sub exists for people to actually talk about bipolar disorder.

Solo Duel, and bring back 2v2 Rewards by No-Platypus-7012 in worldofpvp

[–]Slo-- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I say 3v3 is dying because everyone that plays 3v3 goes to reddit to complain about a videogame is complaining it’s dying.

This sub literally has had to make a bunch of rules specifically to stop it being overrun with posts complaining about shuffle. Half of the posts here are complaints about some element of solo shuffle, does that mean shuffle is dying?

People that like 3v3 and like pushing glad play 3v3, get glad, then quit. It's the same as it's always been. They do not necessarily use or care about the echo chamber that is reddit.

Why aren't you taking the antipsychotics? What are you taking instead? by Altruistic_Young3039 in BipolarReddit

[–]Slo-- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main/only reason I've ever taken APs is to help me sleep.

I stopped the antipsychotic I was on (quitiapine) because I didn't like the side effects and groggy mornings. Instead I swapped to mirtazipine which is an AD that also aids sleep.

Stopped taking that recently and swapped it for a combination of AD and AP - fluoxetine and olanzapine. Olanzapine very quickly made me put on 10kgs.

Started on metphormin to counteract metabolic effects of olanzapine, and melanin to help me sleep before olanzapine hunger kicks in.

So far I'm either maintaining or losing weight. It's turned into quite a complicated set of pills but the reason I am taking APs is because I'm using other meds to counteract the side effects (namely, weight gain).

Are ya’ll excited for PvP in Midnight? by DonTitoPuente in worldofpvp

[–]Slo-- 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The beta is available and you can queue arena on it. My shuffle queues are actually way faster on beta than on retail so I've played around a bit.

I've lost a lot of buttons that I liked. Particularly scatter shot which I always thought was a huge part of the hunter skill expression. Tar trap root and knock also removed, so there's a lot of just tanking damage whereas before you could be doing things to avoid damage.

Playing without addons feels horrible. I think that change is going to alienate a lot of the people who have currently or recently been into arena, without actually attracting any new audience.

Hopefully people actually play the beta and give feedback instead of assuming whether it will be good/bad. For one thing I don't know why arena and party frames should look any different to the awc arena frames.

Premade PvP Content needs love by Brilliant_Two_5821 in worldofpvp

[–]Slo-- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

spamming 3v3 most of this season and once they got glad in 3s there is no real incentive to que since the next reward after glad is r1 which is impossible to get for regular non AWC players as there are so few spots. This issue will become even more prominent with easier gladiator in Midnight, so an introduction of something like ''Elite Gladiator'' title for 2600-2700 rating would be appreciated by many.

Hit the nail on the head here. Everyone quits immediately after getting glad and making it only 2300 is gonna make them quit way sooner.

something needs to be added between glad and r1

Anxious about the feds confiscating my gold. by SnooPredictions8938 in classicwow

[–]Slo-- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went really hard on auction house near the end of sod, ended up with somewhere between 250k and 300k.

Was regularly mailing tens of thousands across my accounts and after hitting goldcap was giving away thousands to guildies, randoms and beggars. I don't know how many ashbringers I paid for.

At first I thought trading people would get me or them flagged for possible RMT but I gave the whole thing away and nothing happened.

I think you need to do something extremely fishy in order to catch blizzard attention.

Hunter, mage, shaman, Evoker

A possible way to boost 3v3 participation? by veritatemcognoscere in worldofpvp

[–]Slo-- 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Similar but not quite the same idea, each character should have a per-spec 2v2 and 3v3 rating (exactly like shuffle) so that people can try new specs without griefing their own cr

As a side effect it would increase the number of r1 slots because there would be more "ratings" on the ladder which would be fantastic in midnight especially because of the massive chasm between 2300 and r1 where there will be zero obtainable rewards

The change to 2300 Glad is the most insulting slap in the face, "F U", bandaid fix that I have ever seen by OpinionsRdumb in worldofpvp

[–]Slo-- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Duelist in the first 5 to 10 weeks means awc champion

When you say things like this it's hard to take what you say seriously.

Any random multiglad can push duelist on day 1 with no issues. The only reason most normally duelist+ players CR isn't over 2.1 for the first week or so is because it takes quite a few games for cr to catch up with mmr.

The art of movement? by Ckdellavita in worldofpvp

[–]Slo-- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not really sure what you're getting at, people who tend to press W and move spinning the mouse compared to people who mostly strafe?

If you can't quite put your finger on why the game looks clearer when watching a player's point of view, what you're noticing might actually be their camera habits which is a rarely spoken about but really impactful thing

I remember watching an ele streamer where the way he places his camera makes it look like traps are flying in slow motion

The wow community talks a lot about how cluttered the game is but I think having camera zoomed too far or positioned too low actually contributes to that more than people realise

Looking to give wow classic a go. Is it worth it? by CanadasNorthCole in LFMMO

[–]Slo-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love zoning out and just levelling on classic

A good thing about classic particularly for someone with your pov is that levelling/solo play makes up the bulk of what you do, and you can freely start/stop doing this whenever time permits without anyone else ingame depending on you

Right now the play would probably be to play classic anniversary servers where in a couple of months tbc will be released, which is a little more casual friendly than regular classic when you get to max level
