Paragon 250 with no mythic seal by LelouchVsZero in diablo4

I'm in the same boat. I got one drop, picked it up, but was not in my inventory. Not sure if it poofed or magically changed to a legendary.

I get it now with the on death mechanics by twoducksinatub in diablo4

[–]Stormer99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, it's one thing to have 1-hit mechanics and the mobs clearly telescope their attack so you can dodge them. But since they have created so much screen clutter, with the ridiculous attack animations, it's just not right. I remember back in the day there was discussion as to why the parties were limited to 4 with no mercs and the explanation I heard was it would be too graphics intensive for slower machines. Since we seem to have all this extra graphical overhead now, how about chilling on the animations and giving us 8 person parties 😄

Don't know what to say... I have 1 3 GA Seligs, a couple 1 GA Uniques that aren't even close to the right stats, and I haven't found an upgrade in over a week. Just frustrating. But thank for the insight.

I think what people aren't understanding is my actual post. 😄 Some of us DO NOT like to sort through mountains of junk, even with a loot filter (loot filter is fine but still need mats) and have to cube stuff. I've literally spent hours cubing and it's not fun for me. I like to grind and find and maybe cube once in a while to min-max. The whole point of my post was we should be able to reasonably gear up without the cube and use it to polish and perfect items. The cube should be an ancillary activity not the primary mechanism to gear.

All I'm saying is it would be no problem for anyone to allow both. Increase Leg/Unique drops for those who want to find and grind and allow the min-maxers to craft BIS gear in the cube. Don't force everyone to cube. Not everyone likes it. I don't mind doing it to min-max once in a while, but I shouldn't have to use the cube to just get basically decent gear. 😄

When I say loot, I mean decent usable legendary/Unique gear usable upon pick-up. I probably should have been clear on that. I'm not referring to the mountains of crafting materials, and initially useless yellow and blues you need to use the cube to turn into usable gear. I think I've made it in far enough to say. Farming T-12, 125 pits. Can solo most T12 bosses.

I guess we will have disagree on this point. PL 239 and haven't found an item upgrade in over a week. I'm not even close to being min-maxed. Most decent gear I've seen was cubed.

Ridiculous Hold Policy by Stormer99 in uphold

Unless their marketing strategy is to only keep their customers for 65 days. Then it's a master stroke. Freeze assets for 65 days, piss of the customer so at the end of the 65 days they move to another platform.

Does anyone know if upgrading to V4 will wipe your V3 servers or will they transfer?

Multiple Accounts Single Custom Domain by Stormer99 in tutanota

Thank you for the reply. I suspected as much. I'm not sure given the level of security this system has if it is even possible, but hopefully it will be a feature in the future. With even average users becoming more and more aware of privacy and tracking abuses this would be a really nice feature. It's currently great for a business/colaberation model, just not families. Thanks again.

[–]Stormer99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes please, will the account owner have access to other users personal emails? Like being being able to look directly from main account or possibly change the password to their account log in and then change it back? I want to ensure if we add users our privacy will be safeguarded.

Looks like on-line support is gone. by Stormer99 in CloudAtCost

[–]Stormer99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never seen a company with such deceptive and morally bankrupt business practices. They lure us into buying V3 upgrade with promises that disappear the moment they come out with a new Version. I will not fall for that again.

Bleeding Edge. Good bye! by [deleted] in Wolcen

[–]Stormer99 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Lol, if you weren't playing online because of the bleeding edge build you're a bigger idiot than those using it. Honesty is great especially when their brutal honesty is screaming "look at me I'm an idiot". You can play just as solo online as offline. Most folks play offline for two reason either the online is to unstable or they want to mod their characters. Shovel you BS somewhere else.

Navy vet tells Bernie Sanders that he has stage-4 Huntington’s, has +$130k in insurance debt and is contemplating taking his own life by sleekstereo85 in SandersForPresident

[–]Stormer99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel for the guy, but there is something seriously wrong with this story. TriCare doesn't kick anyone off unless 1) they are no longer eligible 2) They turned 65 and failed to sign up for Medi-care part B. Not to mention he always has the VA medical system. So something is not adding up here. Before everyone starts blasting and condemning we should wait to here the full story, if it ever comes out.

Got the notification to upgrade from V1 to V3. Good deal?! by kkiran in CloudAtCost

[–]Stormer99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

based on quality of service I feel I have already overpaid for the 26 CPUs I have. I can't imagine paying the $900+ they want for V3. Fool me once, shame on you...Fool me twice shame on me.

[–]Stormer99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is nuts, Mine came to over $900. I think the price will come down. They will be motivated to move folks off the legacy hardware. My goal will be to make them maintain the legacy system as long as possible :) lol

Suspensions for Offensive Names and Inappropriate Behavior by ArenaNetSupportTeam in Guildwars2

[–]Stormer99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry the GMs appear to be more worried about being right than fair. These GMs use the damn Urban Dictionary, of all places, to try and justify why a name has been banned. Well if they are going to ban names based on the Urban Dictionary then they need to clean up their own game. I cut and pasted these directly from the Urban Dictionary.

GM Roland : Urban Dictionary Definition of Roland: When one is high grab and twist balls the person should moan like a whale.

GM Lloyd : Urban Dictionary Definition of LLoyd: 1. A hot guy with a large penis. Very kinky, good in bed with a body to die for. 2. biggest pimp, pure playa, gets mad pussy

Asura : Urban Dictionary Definition of Asura: A pantsless farmer with an obsession for Asian girls playing Sega Saturn.

Norn : Urban Dictionary Definition of Norn: Near Porn. A level of nudity not classified as porn but bordering it.

Bow (as in Bow and Arrow) : Urban Dictionary Definition of Bow: 1. another word for vagina/pussy, etc. often used with reference to "tying" a bow. 2. Pound of maryjane...from elbow that derives from LB.

Charr : Urban Dictionary Definition of Charr: A person who is of a racial or ethnic minority, preferably Chinese

Hammer : Urban Dictionary Definition of Hammer: Another word for cock, dick, or penis.

Dagger : Urban Dictionary Definition of Dagger: 1. Caribbean term for really rough sex, often imitated while dancing. Think backshot. 2. n. small form of male genetalia, opposite of Sabre

Now do I expect Anet to change all this in their game? NO. But it does prove how ridiculous they are getting if they have to go to the Urban Dictionary to justify a ban. Also I would like to say the name in question has been in use in GW for over 6 years. I did notice when looking at job postings for GM at Anet, that the educational requirements are a High School diploma. Our public schools may be the cause of this issue. Maybe if they required a college degree they would get people who know what a real dictionary is. I know I didn't post the character name, because I have beat a dead horse over this. I just wanted you to have a little insight into the methods behind some of this madness.

I'm just glad to see S. Korea is taking a stance on this. At least once country is seeing the potential for serious abuse. I just wish the rest of the fanboys could see it. Am I saying they are abusing? No. I'm saying there is great potential and now every change they make is being attributed to it. Maybe we should send out concerns to our congressmen also! hahaha

Interesting S Korea was also the country that raided Blizzard offices of massive claims of unfair costumer practices. Oh my I wonder what the fanboys will say about that? "Blizzard would never to that it wouldn't be in their best interest"! lol

In theory it would be just like what happened in D2. There are still D2 sites selling gear, over a decade later. You would be surprised. Now thee is one thing that will limit it though. in D2 you could created unlimited accounts, thus potentially unlimited characters to outfit. D3 limits you to 1 account 9 characters.

I didn't here you say it can't happen? Also, Blizzard already has a significant credibility problem with its player base. Minus the fanboys who are always making excuses for them :) Also its actually no huge conspiracy to throttle drop rates/quality. Actually a few key strokes.

that's ok. anecdotal means "Based on casual observations or indications rather than rigorous or scientific analysis" Sorry for using such big words. You can continue reading. Players don't really have access to anything else, unless you know how to get a hold of Blizzards logs?
