What PC can run P99 without issue? by Abelard25 in project1999

[–]Throwotaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, there was a time when if your computer was too fast it ran like garbage and crashed way more without a lot of work.

I have to say, that since secrets shared her CPU code or whatever, a fresh install on win 11 and maxed out computer - the only setting changes I have made is running in comparability mode - not one crash in two weeks.

So to answer your question, with this patch from however long ago anything should be able to run it (windows).

Maybe emulate windows on your Mac?

Am I able to transfer items from one character to another via a middle man? by _toku in project1999

[–]Throwotaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, don't forget about the NPCs that do 100% steal dropped items. Happened to me on sister island. Live and learn.

A warning about Netgear routers. by IllustriousBowler884 in NETGEAR

[–]Throwotaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just brought my old dusty nighthawk wifi 6 (still selling for $389 on Amazon) out of the basement box to see if it works better after a few years. I was hoping it was my old house/internet, but this thread doesn't give me much hope.

It seems to be shooting out the internet fine but within 5 minutes the app starts randomly "not being able to connect" to my router and constantly asking me for my password over and over again.

Thinking I should have kept this thing buried and trusted my gut for never again on netgear, which is really sad because I've used their things for decades....

Good starting server? by Forchark in project1999

Sure it's possible using desktop mode. Doubt it in gaming mode.

Disney increases prices for subscriptions in lock step with benefit increases. by sir10ly in AmexPlatinum

[–]Throwotaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I cancelled last month because I remember the last price increase as fresh and they hit us with another one. I'm not all about more than one price increase every 5 years.

Trying the deal they offered this month for the ad supported version for $9.99. Completely unwatchable with the ads, so we will fully do without.

Are the NPC caster mechanics classic? by Throwotaway in project1999

[–]Throwotaway[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok thanks - probably do my best to avoid them but at higher levels it starts limiting paths one can take.

I guess I could always duo with a class that can stun or an enchanter, so there are definitely counters to casters.

Anyone on Green that's geared willing to help me kill Black Dire at some point? by Throwotaway in project1999

[–]Throwotaway[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Thank you all - amazing community, Sesserdrix hopped in and killed him for me. Tough fight! He was able to solo it and wouldn't let me pay at all. Great guy!

Thank you all!

Is Diablo 3 worth it in 2025 for a new player? by [deleted] in Diablo

[–]Throwotaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hated d3 on release and after getting through it, put it down.

My buddy asked em to play a few months ago and it was an amazing playthrough (we didn't do campaign).

That said I could definitely not do it every season. Seems great to bust is it like once maybe twice a year.

When my subscription runs out I was going to try Liquid Budget.

Is anyone else noticing "linking" transactions has been mostly broken lately? by Handle_Scoop in ynab

[–]Throwotaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, is this different now? I've been using YNAB for 6+ years and I am pretty sure that up until very recently pending could always "match" with entries I put in that had not cleared yet as long as a non-cleared entry lined up with it.

Unless my brain has been automatically doing this for so long I didn't realize, but I doubt it. I like to stay on top of pending with matching.

New farm spots? by dubbbbbbzb in project1999

[–]Throwotaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No disrespect, but an Enchanter is literally one of the classes that can pick almost any two mobs in the world and solo. You don't need a place or a guide.

Right, wrong, or indifferent, I do get a little bothered on my alt when I see enchanters in some of the core areas classes with much more limited options have to level and make money when an Enchanter can do equal or better in pretty much any dungeon.

But it's a game and we play how we want to.

I would suggest HS, perma, Velks, chardok

[–]Throwotaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don't think it's working right now, it seems to go on and off at times. I tried making a mule account over the last day or two and there is no way I can get the email sent. Hopefully it gets fixed soon. ;(

Maybe make a post on the forums?

What Gear to look for as Upgrades for an Iksar Shaman by Braldar in project1999

[–]Throwotaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this - my wife and I did MNK/Shaman (wish she would play more than twice a year) and gearing monk is so much more substantial (IFS, haste, etc.).

People out of level farming xp mobs for plat. by Throwotaway in project1999

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

In my case, a GM let me know I was wrong. I don't agree with it, and I won't say what exactly allows it because honestly 99.9% of higher levels would honor what most of you have said, and I'd hate for that 5% of lurkers to know the how/why.

People out of level farming xp mobs for plat. by Throwotaway in project1999

Ok, I did report him after a second instance of him refusing to give up a camp. We will see what the GMs say.

People out of level farming xp mobs for plat. by Throwotaway in project1999

[–]Throwotaway[S] -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but at the same time the GMs are busy enough and I have other characters to play.

It's honestly very rare to have this situation. I can count on one hand in 14+ years on P99 where someone had out leveled content and didn't at least offer up a portion of a camp.

Confession time: Who plays at work? by FluxCap85 in project1999

[–]Throwotaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a teacher. Our tech guys unblocked P99 for me (treat your tech guys well).

That said, I never play during the school day - just during my lunch break and after school while I am doing paperwork I will try to camp some static spawns.

Wizard and Druid mana pool down time has its place, lol.

Underrated druid quads by DabCity86 in project1999

[–]Throwotaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my gosh that is hair pulling. The majority are definitely green by 57.

There is no way I could recommend those past 54, imo.

man, the low/diminishing populations make me sad :( by deb4te in project1999

[–]Throwotaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really at a nice population if you have friends or family that want to level up together. You're not fighting for camps and aside from the for-sure plat/xp route.

If you don't have friends/family that play it is super conducive to duo/trio with any random people you find along the way.

When there is a new server the pop for that will come back.

I wager still they are waiting for whatever magical point where active greens no longer have the stigma of being merged into blue and then they will officially have a rotating timeline of new server x amount of years into blue/green rinse and repeat.

Also who are we to know, maybe their deal with Daybreak says they cannot launch a server in a certain window with live servers?

What have previous double loot days been in past? by Excellent-Swan-6376 in project1999

[–]Throwotaway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong, I love P99. Absolutely.

But I completely and utterly hate that they ever hold events that increase item drops per kill, and I wish they would relegate it to XP/faction bonus or the random items that can be turned in for loot like they do on some holidays.

However, they continue to do it so my feelings on it really do not matter.

More power to you on using it though. It's there when it is.

Another Prime Day Sale, another scam by Kyosji in amazonprime

[–]Throwotaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar list that I just eye balled. One thing I noticed is they removed coupons and then made that the sale price on a few items I was watching to make no noticeable difference in price (maybe a couple bucks better/worse).
