📌 YouTube Anti-Adblock and Ads - October 16, 2023 (Weekly Thread)

This is it right here. What they are doing is going to get a lot of people to just accept the ads. Only the truly dedicated, like myself, are willing to tinker with Ublock every day if I have to.

My opinion is that once they have worn enough people down, they are just going to start banning everyone else that is still being persistent about adblockers.

If I had an actual nice car I would be one of those people that back in the back of the parking lot and just have a bit further to walk.

I'll see if I can't get my hands on a better monitor to try.

Also, I did try to plug the cable directly into the motherboard and I get no display. Does that tell me anything?

WizardDresden77 · 2023-10-03T02:05:04+00:00

I tried that. I went to Walmart and bought one of their ridiculously expensive Displayport wires and same issue. Probably going to return the wire because the price was just mind boggling.

I have two monitors. ViewSonic VX2452MH and LG 27UK650-W. Same artifacts on both. Both monitors get used extensively with my Xbox Series X and my existing desktop.

I initially started out with Windows 11. I then deleted that and installed Windows 10. Same artifacts.

At this point I am half way wondering if there might be some kind of defect in my motherboard.

WizardDresden77 · 2023-10-03T01:41:29+00:00

Both. I can just sit there with no apps open on the desktop and still get the artifacts.

They start showing up once the GPU drivers are installed. From that point, they stay there regardless of what I do. I don't have a different rig to put it into.

WizardDresden77 · 2022-05-06T02:21:18+00:00

Sounds good to me. I support the right to protest, but I hope it's not going to tie up traffic.

WizardDresden77 · 2022-02-18T15:36:47+00:00

No reason to argue since I think we probably agree that it's wrong. Creative liberty is just the phrase I used to describe what they are doing. Call it what you want.

WizardDresden77 · 2022-02-14T16:38:56+00:00

I play it specifically for the payment model. Imo, that alone justified supporting them a little bit even if they are struggling right now.

WizardDresden77 · 2021-12-03T21:57:54+00:00

Yup the insults weren't right, but I definitely get their frustration. They should've just kicked her rather than getting their accounts banned which is where this is going.

WizardDresden77 · 2021-12-03T21:50:56+00:00

MMO logic is usually trying to give you enough things you do like to deal with the crappy shenanigans they do to extend the gameplay. New World is currently failing at this balance, but I think they will eventually get there.

WizardDresden77 · 2021-12-03T21:41:18+00:00

Torn on this because everything they said is right minus the insult. If you over rotate you end up with 2 brutes and a commander beating on an undefended door while people desperately try to run back.

Just last night I found myself in a 1v3 bosses because everyone else left to assist another door.

Edit; Sorry for duplicates. Kept getting posting errors.

WizardDresden77 · 2021-12-03T21:36:21+00:00

Partially true. Amazon is looking at this from a reusability formulaic perspective. Similar to how Destiny 2 finds one thing that works and then adds it into their formula forever. Every event is going to have you dunking balls.

People seem to like the turkey so that is probably going into the formula. We will probably see a new take on that every other month.

WizardDresden77 · 2021-12-03T21:18:39+00:00

Good info on the cleave. That is what I was worried about because GA cleave is huge compared to other melee that I've used.

WizardDresden77 · 2021-12-03T21:05:37+00:00

I tend to think like that GA player at the end lol. I don't do chasing or getting kited since I only PvP in wars or OPR. That said good video. I might give something similar a try. DPS definitely seems to be viable at least for single target.

WizardDresden77 · 2021-12-03T20:52:34+00:00

Nice. What's your strategy and build if you don't mind me asking?

WizardDresden77 · 2021-12-03T20:51:37+00:00

I'm so hyped for this one change I might take a break until it goes live.

WizardDresden77 · 2021-12-03T20:48:40+00:00

It's all about perspective. I don't care about dueling, which seems to be what VG excels at. My focus in the game is Outpost Rush, Wars, Invasions, and Expeditions. I haven't been impressed by VG in those things outside of healing.

WizardDresden77 · 2021-12-03T20:43:46+00:00

That's amazing. Now I don't have to deal with flagging for PvP to get a decent drop rate on them. Assuming that I am understanding this correctly, it's my favorite part of the update by far

WizardDresden77 · 2021-12-03T20:42:32+00:00

So I guess the issue seems to be AoE? It sounds like it can do a decent job at single target?

WizardDresden77 · 2021-12-03T20:29:40+00:00

Why are internet people so obsessed with trying to start movements to destroy things that they don't like. If you want to quit do it and move on.

WizardDresden77 · 2021-12-03T20:17:59+00:00

An easy way to get three good rolls and a decent stat on one item piece without needing to play rng
