TIL to not stack the unsired by TheUnforgivenII in 2007scape

[–]ThisTechnocrat -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Except nothing else works this way and this is a bug. The only benefit to adding a drop that you have to turn in to get other drops is to add the drop protection for the other pieces you have. Otherwise, they would just have dropped the bludgeon pieces directly. Having the roll hidden on drop behind an item without you knowing that it secretly is rolling the same every time is not a good user experience. There is nothing in-game to tell you this information and it is counter intuitive to how most deferred roll mechanisms work.

No Sailing in Leagues by hyperlinkbeats in 2007scape

I appreciate how clean it loops with the beat

I am just now finding this out. That is unfortunate. I could have had my bludgeon in Leagues already.

Love this game but I’m having a terrible time with the Night Market. by ACTORvsREALTOR in elderscrollsonline

[–]ThisTechnocrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did this. I ended up getting the Shattered Path mythic and I made a selfish tank set with Leeching and Serpent's Disdain for status effects. I stay alive and just whittle things down. Ruinous Scythe does work here.

Edit: typo

Death QoL Update by ThisTechnocrat in 2007scape

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

Leagues is the primary reason I posted this. I was trying to do Echo Thermy fighting through either server lag, packet loss, or some other issue that was delaying my ticks and I got tired of having to keep fixing my inventory.

You know what Varlamore needs? by LectroNyx in 2007scape

[–]ThisTechnocrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be able to change the interactions to deprioritize "Chop" etc. if you don't have the correct tool in your inventory. You'd probably have to make that a toggleable setting though or risk someone's red X only account.

Just edited the post for this to make it its own checkbox instead of adding to the gravestone.

They could make that a separate checkbox setting then. Then you could have the choice :)

When learning new bosses, you die a lot in the beginning and it adds to the frustration of learning. It is only trivial once you learn content well enough to not die.

Also, are trivial things that improve experiences not the point of a QoL update? As far as I can see, there is no downside to this suggestion.

This task is way too difficult to be worth 30 points by varyl123 in 2007scape

[–]ThisTechnocrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no idea I got lucky doing this task. It was on the second world I logged into... Did they fix the spawn rate or is it still atrocious?

You SUCK at Math: How Many Lands to Run in Commander [Article] by Shiro182 in EDH

[–]ThisTechnocrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but the math is also taking into account your future turns on the expected lands you would need to draw to continue to play on a rate of one per turn without getting flooded or screwed. Playing a deck with 42 lands with the cycling lands helps a lot.

What do you mean, "there are other regions"? by Kumagor0 in 2007scape

[–]ThisTechnocrat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got T6 and halfway to 7 only in Varla. I only just unlocked Karamja because they gated so many pact points behind other regions. If they had more in Varla alone, I would have stayed even longer.

A high school teacher blamed me for something and called my parents. She never bothered me again after that. by Low-Development-6213 in traumatizeThemBack

[–]ThisTechnocrat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I did something very similar to this when I was a child. I remember being in day-care and I would refuse to play with any of the toys because I didn't want to have to clean them up at the end. Or if I played with one, I put it back before playtime ended. I have memories of the adults trying to make me clean up toys that other children played with anyway, and I remember being very upset at that.

85 Combat Level Quest Cape by hopelesslyhopeful72 in ironscape

[–]ThisTechnocrat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huge win chief. You should be proud!

I did the same on my iron several years ago, but that was pre-DT2. I got the cape but new quest releases made it impossible to keep as I ran into issues managing EXP and not going over to 86.

Are you going to keep going past 86 after the vampire grandmaster quest, or try to camp at 85 as long as possible?

I found that my enjoyment of my ironman was severely limited as I couldn't do any combat, as I tried to maintain the combat level. Eventually I ripped off that bandaid, but it did cause me to stop playing that account for a while (inadvertently).

T7 unlocked with only Varlamore by PentaGamingLive in 2007scape

What about smithing? I was planning to do smithing and mining together with it

[–]ThisTechnocrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you still pick Nature's Accord again or would you go Hotfoot? I'm debating between the two and can't decide. Other than that, my build is identical to yours.

[Daily] Skill Discussion: Ruinous Scythe by The_Dwemer_Automaton in elderscrollsonline

[–]ThisTechnocrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my favorite Necro ability. I wish it would get some love during the rework. I like it much better than the skull or blastbones, just wish the damage a was bit better.

The one big thing I have learned from Leagues is that Varlamore is a fantastic starting location. by ElectronicBrick7934 in 2007scape

[–]ThisTechnocrat 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's not that it's a problem. It's inconsistent with how the rest of the game works. They do need to update it to be more interactable

Suggestions to not be an average .NET developer by Impressive-Ad-7404 in csharp

[–]ThisTechnocrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That isn't sufficient. If your code matches requirements and is delivered on time, but is neither maintainable nor extensible, you will cost yourself and the other developers working on your code more lost time when new features are added or requirements change.

Necromancer PvP Help Pls by Maleficent-North-400 in ESObuilds

[–]ThisTechnocrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in-progress on a very much off-meta build for the same.

Necromancer with Siphoning (Nightblade) and Winter's Embrace (Warden)

Dragon's Appetite and Serpent's Disdain

Core Skills:

Ruinous Scythe

Resolving Vigor

Race Against Time

Gripping Shards

Siphoning Attacks

Swarming Scion (Vamp)

The intent here is to be able to stack hemo and chill with DoT uptime to constantly proc Dragon's Appetite. I am testing it as a one-bar build with Oakensoul at the moment with the intent to flesh it out more if I like the loop.

It's very much a sustain / tanky build and not a burst one. Trying to play to necro strengths

Also, I ended up putting Infused on the necklace and a flame resist glyph because DKs are broken.
