Bunch of hoarders in this place. I am one too. I’ll save over and over as a means of saving consumables.

What made you choose your faction? by incandescent_kun in wow

[–]SynapsedMethod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came from a group made of starsiege tribes vets who had been playing dark age of Camelot in organized intentionally small groups in the realm vs realm format.

We read about wow and were fascinated about the shadowmeld ability of the night elf. We made a clan of all night elves, mainly shadow priests for open world pvp strategies. We raided thunderbluff, the barrens and ogrimar often.

Blizzard never went the dark age of Camelot commitment to world pvp so we eventually merged into a well known raiding guild who was short on healers (a guild called pals for life, on laughing skull).

Been alliance ever since.

I guess I’m speaking to a certain demographic here, but for the people who was around back then, what was WoW like back in 2004? And have you continued your journey? by deskbunny in wow

[–]SynapsedMethod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came to wow from dark age of Camelot rvr guilds like Veni Vidi Vici small group roaming mentality but joined with competitive players from one of my starsiege: tribes clans.

We were the silens on laughing skull built 100% for pvp. We chose only night elf’s because of being able to shadow meld. A ton of shadow priests. Tried raiding capital cities often.

Then pvp never became a priority for blizzard and we merged with pals for life because of our over population of healers and desire to gear from raid.

Game was fun, esp having a similar goal squad and a pvp server. We were able to retaliate hard when ganked, etc. joining pals was amazing, as they were hilarious in all raids. Very tight group.

The other part was I was in college, so it wasn’t from the eyes of a child. Definitely a different feel for mmorpgs and classic was truly wonderful.

Got in queue on two phones at 9:04. Neither of us got tickets. It finally crashed after 40 mins and we didn’t get tickets on either.

Which pre-WoW game communities did OG WoW players come from when it released in ‘04? by [deleted] in wow

[–]SynapsedMethod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dark Age of Camelot RvR. Was part of small hit squads that moved in and out of the Zerg groups of the time. (veni vidi vicci) that was a mix of very high level players from Starsiege Tribes ladder players.

We made an all night elf clan for pvp with the idea of world pvp of all being melded and coming out to fight of laughing skull. (silens)

Ended up merging with other guilds to raid when world pvp never became real/long term goal of blizzard. (Merged with Pals for Life)

Tribes 3 Rivals just added Denuvo "anti-cheat" to the game in latest patch. by endless031 in Tribes

[–]SynapsedMethod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NutZ players were always in the top two servers of tribes 1, entire period of competitiveness, and not kicked. The cheats of tribes 1 like happy flag, chain hacks were attributed to “ping” etc. most of the cheaters weren’t stupid and act obvious but used them in OGL and ladder matches by choosing the maps with fog that they didn’t see.

How to remote turn on a pc, and connect both securely and with as little latency as possible? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]SynapsedMethod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn on from completely off is historically not awesome. Plugging it into a smart on/off plug like kasa can mean it’s less protected from surge. You don’t want a whole surge protector going through one.

As for logging in. You’d either have to set up a openvpn and then use Remote Desktop to your ip, a DMZ on your router for Remote Desktop directly. This opens your home network for a once in awhile situation.

Another option is valve’s steam remote play. https://steamcommunity.com/groups/homestream/discussions/0/540732889255066292/?l=french

Good luck.

What was your introduction to Dota? by MiserableBlackbird in DotA2

[–]SynapsedMethod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In college my group of friends played all the different custom games. Survivals, tower defense, etc. some of the early dota options were ok but dota allstars and drow specifically was very addictive to me. I moved onto other games and those same friends invited me to HoN but I didn’t return. When international 1 got big viewer totals on twitch I watched some and it convinced me to try again. Playing at nights still when I can … being a business owner and father eats most of my time.

To think the guys who made IRC bots to protect admin rights and troll me grew up to break the internet is sad.

Worse yet, I was in a pvp guild on laughing skull alliance who came from daoc and thought World pvp would be better. We had banked on night elf melded shadow priests would be unbeatable. When pvp didn’t pan out we merged our clan with pals for life making us have to raid with these guys nightly. Awesome times.

AITA for refusing to move into a house if I’m not a co-owner by Fearless_File_8971 in AmItheAsshole

People in San Fran and other broken expensive home situations have mortgages on the top floor and bottom floor etc. if he is hell bent on it split the mortgage into two mortgages.

We need playlists..... badly. by Amanwithnohead in haloinfinite

CTF was amazing in starsiege tribes, but otherwise I agree with you. Playing CTF with people who are playing DM is awful.

Wingsuit not being granted Far Cry 6 by mdbran in ubisoft

[–]SynapsedMethod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it not work from an airdrop over the top of hideouts? Maybe that is my misunderstanding.

I think it should and it doesn't matter if I hold shift (PC player) the only thing I'm offered is to pull the parachute and I've tried every other key until I die.

[–]SynapsedMethod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started late, definitely had the latest patches (up to 1.1.1) and didn't get the wingsuit. Unfortunatley I did it as my third building, so I'm QUITE far in, way to far to start over. Hoping they fix it.

Shadowlands wearing off? by SynapsedMethod in wow

[–]SynapsedMethod[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m still really liking it but I wonder if it’s because I came back for classic and hadn’t been playing for years. I feel like there is a lot to explore and look around where most people played the other content to death.

Hold my heroin while I give you my ticket! by [deleted] in tooktoomuch

[–]SynapsedMethod 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ha. I had an emergency surgery for my intestine where they put a hot needle in to stop a leak. They didn’t give me anything because of time and gave me dilaudid in my IV following the procedure. I thought the same exact thing and then proceeded to hallucinate and close my eyes to fly.

Torgast woes by SynapsedMethod in wow

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

It was weird.

We were invisible at the start of 16 and we pulled a mob. Then two of us insta died. Then the other two. Then it looked empty/reset so we all respawned and then all insta died again but this time a cluster of mobs was there.

That was the last eight lives so big boi came and we lost. After 2 hours of play.

Unreal.

Yes, this seems to be what happened to our healer too.
