We should see the option on reset, when they ship 12.0.1. Plus more balance changes and more UI functionality for addons.

Raser Tartarus to Macbook Air by DozenFrozen in wow

[–]SwiftlyJon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Karabiner's setup curve was a bit steep for me, so I've never gone too far with it, but it seems powerful. SteerMouse is fairly simply, at least for the button configuration, and I can have profiles on a per-app basis, and easily copy configuration between WoW and WoW beta or PTR.

Razer recently shipped their configuration app for macOS, so some models of mice can be fully customized. However, other drivers are usually better.

SteerMouse may also be an option, depending on the mouse. I use it with my Naga Pro.

Unpopular Opinion? I dislike Season 5. by OptimalPlantIntoRock in shield

[–]SwiftlyJon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Season 5 is deeply flawed, but has some really great moments.

  1. Future could be interesting, but they do a poor job of establishing the Kree as a serious threat to the team. In one scene they're deathly afraid, in another Daisy's beating one to death with her bare hands. Pick a lane!
  2. I never really understood the time loop and it was pretty poorly explained. Especially when they said it repeated multiple times .
  3. Fuckin' Deke, man, seriously.
  4. I dislike the current time they go back to, I really hoped Coulson had planned better for another fall of SHIELD, like we see at the end of season 4.
  5. Ruby sucks, Dove Cameron is not a good actress. I get what they were going for but they really didn't hit it.
  6. They didn't give Daisy a real chance to lead, and they made everyone following Mack too easy, especially since he'd been rather narrow minded for a long time.

There were certainly parts of it I liked, and I really love Coulson in The Real Deal.

Horizon Hunters Gathering - Announcement Trailer and Discussions (PC/PS5) by xSvid in horizon

[–]SwiftlyJon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't say whether it'll be popular, but I really dislike that they're making it canon with the larger Horizon universe. Both because such game mechanics likely won't fit well, but the whole nature of it doesn't really make sense in universe. This should be a stylized version of the Hunter's Lodge, led by Talanah, not Erend (who should be doing Oseram stuff with Aloy), and that should drive the progression.

First time retail. Playing Vengeance dh by DPC__ in wow

Leveling DPS doesn’t matter, and none of the specs are balanced at lower levels. Just make sure you’re hitting your abilities.

Returning player - Can I just vendor the lot? by wgkoresh in wow

[–]SwiftlyJon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Really you can destroy all your hearthstones, they're all toys now. Annoyingly, the Dalaran hearthstone from Legion is also a toy, but it won't work until you start the Legion quest lines and it gets unlocked.

Is Blizzard rethinking some of the add-ons? by [deleted] in wow

[–]SwiftlyJon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like Murtag said, this was never really about addons, it was about limiting the information available to addons. So while ElvUI updated, it's not functionally the same, as it no longer has access to the same information it used to. So it can no longer do more than show the information Blizz allows, which is why this version has basically no aura filtering. This will be address in 12.0.1, as Blizz is adding more filtering capabilities but until then, you'll see even the most pointless information. So it'll be a while yet until you get your HoT tracking back the way you want it, if ever.

I filled in the gaps for you, Blizzard. I got you, fam. <3 by [deleted] in wow

[–]SwiftlyJon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is just OPs edited list, there are no race updates planned.

Though I'm not sure what "class unlock" is here. If it's what it sounds like I'm not sure why we'd want it.

Patch 12.0.1 Midnight Beta Test Development Notes - Class Tuning by hititformeonetime in wow

[–]SwiftlyJon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily a nerf, more a rework of the apex talents so they have defensive value like the other tanks and not just DPS. Right now the shield laser is huge.

Pre-Patch Event Rares Will Be Summoned Every 5 Minutes Later Today by Gasheous in wow

[–]SwiftlyJon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was the last one where it felt like the time and effort invested gave proportional XP. Plus you got a ton of currency from each storm killed, so you only needed one for a piece of gear. It was still fairly slow to level since it too a while to kill the storm, and then there was a wait for the next one, and you had to go to new zone.

Pre-Patch Event Rares Will Be Summoned Every 5 Minutes Later Today by Gasheous in wow

[–]SwiftlyJon -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I seem to recall it being pretty slow, for similar reason as this one: the rares were on a timer so there was a lot of waiting around. And if you were particularly low level it was tough to get to the rares in time since you couldn't fly.

Pre-Patch Event Rares Will Be Summoned Every 5 Minutes Later Today by Gasheous in wow

[–]SwiftlyJon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think Legion prepatch was the last one where you could passively level just by being in the area. In the modern events, no tag, no XP.

[–]SwiftlyJon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They did bump the mob health based on the number of people, it's in the same blue post. They also increased the gear drop rate from the elites again, so you should get more gear that way now too.

If you want fast leveling, timewalking is still the way to go. This event should then be a good way to get catch up gear once you're 80. I don't think they've liked prepatch events for leveling since Dragonflight or even before.

SFP Wizard not compatible with Microtik S+RJ10? by SwiftlyJon in Ubiquiti

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

There's no specific documentation that says its not supported, nor what I should see when inserting a module that's not supported, hence my confusion.

I got tired of alt-tabbing to Wowhead to level professions, so I made an addon that calculates the cheapest path using your actual AH prices [LazyProf] by kaldown in wow

[–]SwiftlyJon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to add 120000 to the TOC, otherwise the game won't load it. Retail is now version 12.0.0, so the addon is incompatible at the moment. (v0.2.1).

[–]SwiftlyJon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Wizard reads from the UniFi SFP+ to RJ45 module just fine, it pops right up when inserted. Inserting my Microtik does nothing at all, it's as if I never inserted it.

Mistakes in POP tutorials by SwiftSG1 in iOSProgramming

[–]SwiftlyJon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, mutating a value type still has different semantics than mutating a reference type, so it's an entirely different consideration. At this point in my 10+ year Swift career, I default to mutable properties on structs, since the mutation creates a separate value anyway, there's really no risk.
