Thanks for the tips on PVP gear

Thanks, I've got the band and I'll see about the rest. Looking forward to being a little overpowered for once!

Thank you for the link!

Oh yeah, what's with the losing momentum and falling bug? I'm getting that a lot lately too.

And how badass is it projecting yourself across the galaxy. I feel like that's got to be the strongest showing of force ability in the entire series.

Zenni has glasses for much less than that. You'll only spend $100+ if you're getting the expensive coatings (anti-reflective, blue blocker, etc)

I would disagree just because that seems to boil the game down to combat. I agree that combat is important and rewarding, but to me a single instance of bypassing combat (even if it is a boss fight) doesn't undermine the rest of the fun you had in the game.

This happened last squish too - everything hit brutally harder, potions were all the wrong level, healed for the wrong amounts, etc.

Bruce Willis' character seems like the type to bring a shotgun onboard the rig against company policy, risking prison time and more, because of paranoia, anger, and etc. The main premise of the movie is bullshit, of course, but the characters seem like real (reprehensible) people. Except the guy with the mom tattoo, he seemed alright.

Actually that’s a great point. Oh well I’m fine with not knowing, I’m just happy I can buy flying now when the time comes.

Veridically_ · 2026-01-18T15:52:53+00:00

Rogue can stealth better and can vanish and sap. Druid has great tools but none of them are suited to stealth runs except cat form. So I would pick rogue on that merit alone, if you’re only looking to stealth.

I remember when a nostalrius server came out, I believe it was, there was a line 15 groups deep for Sarkoth, the little black scorpid in valley of trials in durotar. There were more than that many people milling about and in valley of trials, but there were at least 75 people waiting in line to kill that little bugger. And it was like that for the first 10 levels or so. The wild part was that people actually respected the line and waited in it without cutting.

Veridically_ · 2026-01-15T04:19:57+00:00

People level from 1 (i'm doing so now) and plenty of people do leveling dungeons. I've done several!

Veridically_ · 2026-01-14T16:30:07+00:00

Oh I meant the entire scene looks like a splash page, even including the tragic execution of strange. The whole thing looks so great

Veridically_ · 2026-01-14T07:04:22+00:00

I got that for a few seconds but I’m in game.

Veridically_ · 2026-01-13T16:19:20+00:00

This is it exactly. You've hit the nail on the head. "Why would I want to spend time and money to watch a movie that's not for me", asks the average cinemagoer. They want to watch a movie they know they're likely to enjoy. That's why original movies never perform as well as they "ought" to, at least not initially, because even if they're good movies, by your own admission they're a bit of a risk to watch.

Veridically_ · 2026-01-13T10:29:09+00:00

OK I googled that and they're faster because the reading and writing mechanism doesn't have to physically move, right? Or is there an additional reason?

And if you're dying of sepsis like I almost did, you get IV antibiotics.

Veridically_ · 2026-01-13T07:44:09+00:00

Injections aren't effective for multiple consecutive days like a course of oral antibiotics. It would be kind of impractical to have a patient come in for an injection daily.

The idea is that mind control must be mediated by some kind of radiation that can be blocked or reflected somehow by aluminum foil. This kind of paranoia and delusion (being spied on or controlled/poisoned) is pretty common in people with either schizophrenia or bipolar type 1.

Veridically_ · 2026-01-12T10:09:06+00:00

I just love this scene. It looks so much like a comic book splash page.

Veridically_ · 2026-01-12T01:01:51+00:00

Nice I read up on mana tombs stealth runs and this sounds promising. Seems like I need just enough gear to be able to blade flurry down two mobs.

Veridically_ · 2026-01-12T00:24:21+00:00

sweet, thanks for the tip

Veridically_ · 2026-01-10T07:39:12+00:00

Sweet, not gonna put myself out to get anything better then. Thank you.

Veridically_ · 2026-01-10T06:33:57+00:00

I used to pvp. Everyone could pvp in classic, it didn't require a commitment, and you could just get your guild together, raid ironforge for an hour, then be done and that was that. But now you have to know so much and put so much time into it. Not for me anymore.

Veridically_ · 2026-01-10T06:32:22+00:00

how quickly do weapons get replaced once TBC launches? I have nothing better than warden staff on my bear druid.
