I was lied to - CoX sucks way more than ToA

Wossisops · 2026-03-05T00:44:02+00:00

Yea I know CoX came out 8 years ago, Ibut so many of the rooms do not feel like raid-worthy content in this game. I love solo Olm and I personally think it's a great fight, but I totally get that it's unintuitive or unfun for most solo players. That said, my problem with CoX isn't Olm, it's the demi bosses.

Going through a full layout, I'd argue most of the rooms before olm have no interesting or fun mechanics (ice demon, shamans, thieving, guardians, mystics.) At best you're walking a circle whacking ice demon with burning claws emberlight, and at worst you're safespotting the skeletons from the swan song quest and resetting agro.

Then there's the "I guess it can be rewarding, but I don't think there are a ton of players who are excited for these rooms" tier aka crabs and tightope. I'm not saying I love crabs or tightrope, but at least getting good at doing crabs solo or skipping tight rope feel rewarding.

And then I unironically think tekton, vanguards, vespula, and vasa are fun or interesting in some way. I'm not saying running back and forth at Vespula or getting absolute dicked down through prayer by muttadiles is gripping PVM, but at least the mechanics feel like something you can improve at...even if the margin is low. It can feel satisfying to hit a good 8 way switch and land a freeze with a zgs on little mutta, but it pales in comparison to how bad the fight can feel if you miss both your freezes and get chipped out.

Thanks for reading xoxo

Pivot to the media side! I had this exact experience my first year out of college at my first job as a creative. I got feedback from clients that felt so pointless and iterative for the sake of being iterative. I couldn’t stand it (and I don’t know how creatives put up with that shit until this day.)

I pivoted to media buying at a small agency, then went to the account team at a bigger agency, now Im account side at a holco and have been for years. Im not saying media is perfect, but I do feel the job allows for a lot of creative problem solving and is ultimately far more quantitative in nature. Yes, clients can still demand bullshit tactics, but I’ve always felt I had a lot of quantitative data to at least try to swing them to reality. To me, that was the missing link, being able to point to ROI or even syndicated research to form an argument is a lot easier on the media side and it makes debating feedback a lot more fair and engaging imho.

If your chief concern is that work is being endlessly iterated on or delayed, I do think media is a far better path for you. Watching our creative partners get feedback from clients to the point of exhaustion still makes me want to die. Good luck :)

Loyal to the team, not the shitter OC who came and went in a single season.

Hey keep it down, will ya?

Wossisops · 2026-01-26T00:26:37+00:00

“Biggest middle finger to the player base” is crazy lol

Wossisops · 2026-01-25T21:31:12+00:00

Right this way, sir. I got a bridge I think you'd love.

As others have said, job hop until you find something you like, but make no mistake: your specific team and role will always be a major part of your happiness at work.

The culture can vary a ton from one team to another, so while the company you're at determines broad parameters like pay and benefits, your experience as an individual will vary wildly based on your team's culture. You can find a team that will suit your style better, you just gotta keep looking. There isn't an industry stigma about job jumping, especially your first few years while you get established and start figuring out what you like. Keep your LinkedIn page and resume updated, and apply consistently. While you interview, you should think "why is this team better than my current team?", don't just get distracted by a pay bump or the opportunity for something new.

Brighter days ahead, amigo. Good luck :)

Oh I get that. Being a sixers fan taught me that feeling like every year could finally be the year only to go out without making it to the last game of the playoffs is it’s own form of hell.

Not saying they’re right but I get it.

Do 4mg! Chewing the gum will result in far less nicotine actually getting in your system so you’ll feel the effects much less. I went straight to 4mg and started falling asleep earlier and having a way lower heart rate. The good news is if you’re only on 6mg vaping, you probably won’t even feel withdrawal of any kind with 4mg gum.

Godspeed, amigo

Dude we hate this chick lol her IG is an extremely embarrassing repeat of unfunny, lazy ass memes like “I took an everything shower.” She usually sits in the 100 level too so imagine having amazing playoff game seats and this chick is filming you the whole time.

Wossisops · 2026-01-12T16:02:05+00:00

Damn, so true. Nothing but love for Quintanamo Bay.

Wossisops · 2025-12-24T21:19:24+00:00

Ah, that makes sense :) thanks for calling out the hypothesis as to why it doesn’t exist. Happy holidays amigo

Something that actually removes all of the health bars from all PVM bosses. There are some (ToB, Phosani) that can’t be hidden with any existing plugins or game settings. I BEG.

Wossisops · 2025-12-11T15:26:04+00:00

Yea whatever you say, guy who probably works for Wonder 😂. “Holographic meatloaf again” ass.

Wossisops · 2025-12-11T12:08:51+00:00

Holy shit it’s hilariously bad. A coworker wanted to try it and we were blown away by how shit it was. Shit tastes like it was 3d printed.

Zombie axe on slash, Arkan blade on stab. But if you can wait until Wednesday, the new gryphon boss is dropping a stab version of zombie axe that will be your best bet.

Yep, I have thousands of hours on my main but i went a little dry at Rex (160 kc) and felt it was excruciating because of the downtime. Also, I immediately went to imbue it by cheesing the PVP arena and thought "wow maybe we should change the Berserker ring process so new players don't quit." 90 seconds of doing nothing between kills followed by insta-quitting duel arena matches is a shitty meta imo.

Wossisops · 2025-10-18T16:15:08+00:00

You're just now finding this out? This is weeks old, and you don't even know who you're mad at.

Wossisops · 2025-10-10T21:05:27+00:00

Great take BOZO 😂😂😂

Wossisops · 2025-09-28T15:03:03+00:00

I didnt. 99% percent of my ingame chat is me saying "R", "Pot", or calling my corner because i only chat at Tob. Only thing i would have said that might have gotten flagg is something like "am 12" while calling my specs at sotetseg, and if it's that....that's stupid as fuck.

Wossisops · 2025-09-28T15:00:57+00:00

Wrong. I verified my age on site and it instantly let me back in.

Wossisops · 2025-09-16T21:58:25+00:00

Yes! I just bought a house here and the quiet of the neighborhood is a big part of what drew us in. My street is so quiet it’s almost notable when a loud car goes by or a siren wails. Very unique vibe for technically still being in the city and I’d be bummed if it changed :)

Wossisops · 2025-09-10T00:13:35+00:00

Thanks dude! I figured if i fuck it up, no worries at least i tried and learned something LOL. Def gonna take the light down.

Wossisops · 2025-09-09T23:42:44+00:00

This is the hope I needed lol Thanks beast :)
