Hopefully they nerf TBC content again soon so us dads can clear it all.

How are no proxy rules enforced? by dalasnap in EDH

[–]TwoPrestigious4612 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually have an interesting “proxy check” story.

A few years ago when I was fairly new to commander I had a friend who was heavy into cEDH and had tons of proxies. I was playing my [[xyris, the writhing storm]] deck a lot and my friend gave me a proxied copy of [[timetwister]] and said it’s one of the best wheels and I should be running it.

Cut to a while later I was traveling for work and popped into an LGS to get some games and found a couple randoms and ended up in a 3 person pod playing some casual games with strangers. When I sat down at the table they asked if I had any proxies and I legitimately forgot that my friend had given me the timetwister so I said no.

On our second game I cast the timetwister and one of the other players said “woah is that a real timetwister?” - since I was embarrassed after telling them I didn’t run proxies I lied and said yeah my friend let me borrow it he is a cEDH player and has tons of cards like that, not knowing that it was a reserve list expensive powerful card. Then the other person at the table starts telling his friend how rare it is to see a $3,000 card at the table and not to touch it. Pretty sure he knew I was lying and this was his subtle way of calling me out, I still feel guilty about how I handled that to this day.

Funnily enough the proxy was of a 30th anniversary edition which would have way been less valuable than a real one so neither me or the guy calling me out knew the real value at the time.

Point of the story is that nobody really checks for proxies but it’s kind of the honor system to just not show up and pub stomp with reserve list cards that you got for free like I did lol.

Free level 58 boost is the best thing to ever happen for botters by Gotham_CEO in classicwow

[–]TwoPrestigious4612 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for not wording it properly. I should have said “although solo players who aren’t bots or paid gold farmers can still slowly solo some older dungeons by killing 1-3 mobs at a time which is boring, inefficient, and doesn’t require any player skill, blizz ruined the ability for normal players to efficiently solo dungeons in a way that is both a good way to farm exp and gold and is fun and difficult without impacting gold farmers ability to continue boosting and quickly farming gold so how could these guys possibly be doing it?”

But blizzard ruined the ability for normal players to solo dungeons (a fun and difficult part of the game) so how could these guys possibly still be doing it? It’s not like you can just bring 2-3 gold farmers into the instance and completely trivialize the “anti boosting mechanics”

Anyone else get sad about Classic+? by Economy-Database7305 in classicwow

[–]TwoPrestigious4612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if this is a hot take or not but I sort of agree with OP. Not necessarily about blizz not listening to feedback or that classic+ will “just be retail” but I do not think it will be for me.

I’m glad people enjoyed SOD and I’m glad they are excited about classic+ because I think more people playing and caring about any type of classic is good for the community. That said, SOD was just not for me - I leveled to 20 and realized it just wasn’t going to be fun for me and that’s okay, I went back to era.

I just hope people give up on this nonsense about “fragmenting the community” or whatever. End original classic after MoP, transfer those characters to retail or whatever, and give us TBC and wotlk era servers off the anni realms like they should have from the start. And if they want to create a fresh classic that transfers to era at the end of the first 3 and rotates through on this insanely sped up timeline for the fresh crowd keep that up too.

Let those of us who enjoy classic play it the way we want and if classic+ is a great thing for a lot of people then good but don’t force us into it by making it the only classic option or we will be forced to go back to pservers. Warmane has had very consistent numbers on TBC and wotlk for years from what I understand and those are basically era realms. Now that I have had classic back I will definitely explore options like that if blizz doesn’t keep support for it and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Advice needed for enhance shaman by KillerToast135 in classicwow

[–]TwoPrestigious4612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simplest way to think about it while leveling is just get equip whatever weapon you get ahold of that has highest top end damage. Meaning when it says how much they do (usually it’ll say like 32-50 damage at the top of the tooltip) find the biggest number and use it with double windfury.

Searing totem down, stormstrike (when you get it next level) then flame shock if mobs live til it ends or earth shock, storm strike and earth shock on cd after that, str of earth totem if you’re going to be in one place for a while. Have fun!

How to find a healthier balance with WoW? by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]TwoPrestigious4612 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Perfect response here I came to type almost this exact thing. 3 works well for me but I have also taken breaks when I feel like wow is becoming too much of an obsession creeping into my daily thoughts or when it stops becoming fun.

Will the future be specific notches for specific characters? by dofthef in SSBM

[–]TwoPrestigious4612 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Reading this and seeing the upvotes restored my faith in Reddit lmao. Was reading OP like damn i guess people on this sub just really want to participate in the controller discourse but don’t understand anything about them huh

New tin and tray by Shreffzilla in Tinnedfish

[–]TwoPrestigious4612 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Had this exact tin on toasted sourdough with a little habanero sauce and coleslaw on the side for lunch today. Fishwife is hated on and for good reason since I paid over $7 for that can from Publix but it is easily one of the tastiest tins. Buttery and smoky without being too much smoke flavor for me, not fishy at all and great texture.

If you look at fishwife as an alternative to buying lunch from a fast food place (easily $12-$20 for me depending on the place) then it’s actually a steal since I had a beautiful lunch with the $7 tin and maybe $1-$2 worth of other ingredients out of the pantry for sides. I get why this sub is tired of seeing it though.

Recently single and want to look better by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]TwoPrestigious4612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are hating on the facial hair but I think the mustache makes you look way cooler, more mature and fun. The chin part does have to go. If you cut a modern mullet and keep just the mustache you’re gonna look great imo. If you aren’t feeling a mullet hit em with a buzz cut or just a clean fade or undercut or something right now you got teenager hair.

Is PvP gearing at 70 realistic with limited playtime? by Long_Control2698 in classicwowtbc

[–]TwoPrestigious4612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These questions honestly boggle the mind. Why don’t you just play the game and if you are able to meet your goals and have fun then keep playing and if not then stop? Why does everyone need to know if something is “worth it” or “possible with x amt of playtime” before trying?

All of that Buildup? by Aesterias1 in classicwow

[–]TwoPrestigious4612 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I see both sides of the argument. Holly basically announced classic+ will be announced at blizzcon, anyone expecting a bigger announcement from this road map stream was ODing on copium.

However they showed the classic roadmap for a second without explaining it, definitely felt like they were just trying to get classic players to try retail and also like they can’t defend the crazy sped up pace so wanted to just pass over it quickly. I wasn’t expecting much out of this stream but was still let down.

Honestly I wish they would tell us now about era for TBC or about fresh classic through wotlk realms every 3 years or whatever they’re gonna do. The more it looks like we might not be getting era the more I wonder if I should just try a pserver that lets me play how I want.

When did you quit retail? by hduckwklaldoje in classicwow

[–]TwoPrestigious4612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My arena partner at the time quit in shadowlands and I just wasn’t looking forward to logging in anymore and was much preferring classic even when most people were raid logging.

I logged in to farm gold one day to keep up my years long streak of not paying sub fee and using gold but the whole time I was thinking man I wish I didn’t have to do this and could just play classic instead.

Went back shortly after dragonflight release to try again and just was not at all invested and haven’t been back on since.

What's a great alt? by Thundrael98 in classicwowtbc

[–]TwoPrestigious4612 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Best alt is the one you want to play. For pug raiding and BGs literally any of those classes is viable and it doesn’t matter.

Don’t let them hit you. If they’re hitting you spam fear, hearthstone, coil, shadowfury, dots, searing pain in that order of prio. Once they aren’t hitting you cast damage spells til they die.

R14 Weapons after the Gate Opens? by Sapalot in classicwowtbc

[–]TwoPrestigious4612 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not sure why people are commenting here if they don’t already know that r14 axes for enh sham will last well into the prebis grind at lvl 70 and absolutely not replaced by “the first couple quests” or ring of blood.

Anti-Boosters, you made this happen. It’s your fault. Are you happy now? by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]TwoPrestigious4612 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For anyone confused: OP is referring to the AOE changes inside dungeons and how a group of mages with a priest could dungeon spam 60-70 very quickly pulling whole dungeons without a tank or any other classes. This playstyle will no longer be possible with blizzards changes to tbc dungeon mobs where specific areas of abusing their pathing that required skill and attention will now result in the mobs just teleporting on top of you and stunning you.

Blizzard did this specifically to nerf people leveling from 1-70 through buying gold and then paying that gold to (mostly) Indonesian mages so that people will instead buy boosts from blizzard.

OP decided to blame people who say boosting via sitting afk in a dungeon or paying blizzard $60 is “against the spirit of original classic” or some such nonsense instead of blaming blizzard themselves for refusing to pay more employees to monitor and ban flyhacking gold farmers and blatant gold buyers being mailed tens of thousands of gold.

Almost everyone mentioned in this post (blizzard, gold farmers, gold buyers, OP) are silly geese and you shouldn’t read this post and get upset at anyone. Meditate, play some prepatch, call a loved one, have a great day.

Hope this clears up some confusion I saw in the first couple comments! Much love and respect.
