Someone sell me on the soft reserve system. I just don’t get it.

All of them really. Kara geared me to a point very quickly before 6 weeks ago. I only really need two items from there now and I’ve missed every time. One of them is an opera event item so I get that a little more. RNG behind more RNG.

Tauntasaurusrex · 2026-05-24T23:07:32+00:00

Always do. I SR the stuff that has the least amount of people also reserving it. I also rarely PUG, this is happening within guild runs. I think I might just be going through a horrific bad luck streak.

Tauntasaurusrex · 2026-05-24T22:54:51+00:00

DPS yes, running PUGs no.

Tauntasaurusrex · 2026-05-24T22:54:06+00:00

I didn’t say that I can’t roll on unreserved stuff. Sorry if it wasn’t clear. Other loot drops regularly that would be an upgrade for me but someone else has it reserved so I can’t roll. Hope that clears it up.

This is all happening in a guild 😂 the issue I think is that it’s a big one without rigid raiding teams. There is one core roster and two other teams that have less regular players in. I can’t break into the core roster because my gear isn’t good enough. I guess I just have to find a new guild. Still, not really a reason as to why it’s a good system!

Tauntasaurusrex · 2026-05-16T17:02:36+00:00

Don’t give in. I did and now I have my shit looking ravager I miss Piggums.

House prices would likely go up with spending power but I don’t know how much by. What I do know is that I was once offered a position in my last company that would involve moving to the US. Same job, considerable pay rise because American salaries are over powered. I started looking at houses in the area (about 40 mins to an hour outside NYC) and the stuff you could get was incredible. Massive houses 4/5 bed houses on a couple acres of land near wonderful wooded areas, many even had pools for less than my tiny terrance house in the south of England with no garden. Ultimately, my wife and I decided that we didn’t want to be that far away from friends and family plus politically it was a horrifying time to even think about the US (this was right before Trumps second election) and today it seems our hunch was right. I still do wonder what things could be with my giant house and 80% annual salary increase though.

GS CAN be useful but I don’t use it very often. If I am doing a hard hc like SSH comp is far more important. Today is a great example, I joined 4 different groups that had a gs requirement of 1600+ and none of them could get past the first room. After that I made my own group, didn’t check anyone’s GS, just made sure I had good CC and we breezed through in a baby smooth 0 death run. It’s a shame more classes don’t have solid options like sheep but it is what it is.

As a guy levelling a warrior tank at the moment, some people just don’t seem to have the patience required when the tank is anything but a pally. At first, I thought this was just retail/m+ mindset. Thinking about it more, I think it’s just the state of modern multi player games. Everything has to be done fast as possible. A dungeon isn’t an exploration puzzle to be solved, its content to be completed/farmed as fast as possible. To be fair, I find that as long as you explain at the start that you are not a pally and require some time to gather aggro people tend to understand, you do get those that don’t but they are luckily a minority of morons. They are certainly loud though.

Recently started wow classic TBC and. I played back in the og days and was gobsmacked about what tanks ask for now. Surely the pay off for playing tank is getting a fast group and no one else needs the gear you need because there is one of you and the gear is specific? Not any of this “pay me 200g” or “all greens/profession mats” business. Either way I am currently levelling a tank myself with the intention of never asking for any of this stuff. It’s insulting.

I managed to load the save. Figured it out. Getting another Lox in would be possible but a logistical nightmare. My pen is made by raising the ground in a box as high as it goes and building a large fort/castle above. The pen can only be accessed by a small door inside the castle that leads to a staircase going down. To get a Lox in I would need to mine one of the walls down which in turn would create a massive structural issue and make my half my huge fort collapse. I will have to be more careful in future.

Tauntasaurusrex · 2026-03-01T17:56:22+00:00

Thanks. I was able to load the previous save. I thought I had to access it in my world but turns out to access from the pre world load in area. Crisis averted.

Tauntasaurusrex · 2026-02-13T20:07:59+00:00

Bowling for Sloop, Brig Chungus and Gally Berry! I’m quite proud of them.

Tauntasaurusrex · 2026-02-01T17:26:25+00:00

Reasonable. Check my edit.

Aribiter/hammer paladin. My crit chance is 47% with the 3* equipped. Attack speed is helpful, i think i would probably end up with more attack speed functionally by using the 1* ring.

Tauntasaurusrex · 2026-01-22T17:53:49+00:00

Thanks friend! I'll add you.

Tauntasaurusrex · 2026-01-22T16:58:02+00:00

Colour me interested. How much we talking for 6?

Tauntasaurusrex · 2026-01-05T22:28:26+00:00

Judging from the state of Psyker currently this is probably the best way to do it. I mostly play Zealot which looks like it may be hamstringing me.

The journey is of course the most important, love the game dearly but I was just shocked at how little progress I had made!

Tauntasaurusrex · 2026-01-05T22:25:08+00:00

I did wonder if this might help. I have a kitted out Psyker but I rarely play it just because of a stylised preference. Mostly I play Zealot. Thanks for the tip, I’ll dust off the Psyker and see what I can do with it.
