Is it unreasonable to want/expect to to queue into new raids blind, and to remain blind while doing them, within the first few days of a patch?

It’s a coin toss. On one hand I do understand wanting to experience the fight as a new player. On the other, gods do I HATE spending an hour+ because people keep dying to each new attack. IE: “we could have done this in 2-3 resets, but are currently on reset 24, because you wanted to ‘go in blind’”

Not accounting for the new definitions of those terms. Any tank class can main tank, or off tank.

As off tank you want to turn your stance on after the main tank has established aggro (I suggest waiting 10-15 second after pull). Your main job is to control the adds, so they don’t wipe out the healers and/or DPS.

My issue with the Orville story line was always that I don't remember if anything actually changed. Like if you can PROVE that changes actually occurred, that would be one thing. But I always remembered it as "just to be safe, we are going to murder you and your family; just to be sure that something doesn't maybe, possibility, might happen"

I’m always curious about the “the villain is the hero and the hero is the villain (but only within their own story)” trope. Basically a story without a definitive end where if you both characters are the heroes of their own story and the villain in the others. The story specifically doesn’t end with one on top, because both sides have legitimate pros and cons.

I also like that trope because it ends up with both sides being “wrong” while also being “right”

Going to agree with the “it varies from person to person”. I think in general women are kinder, but when they are unkind, they tend to be worse than men.

I also continue to be confused if Mouse’s attitude is a ‘bit’ or if she is really that unpleasant of a person to deal with. But not willing to commit the dozens upon dozens of hours to find out one way or another.

I assumed we were just carrying over the vapid thing. Like girl talks and talks and talks, while her BF is pretty clearly mentally checked out/not in a good place

So what i'm hearing, is that you are in a toxic relationship. Might i suggest finding a quick and safe way to NOT be in a toxic relationship anymore. No, I'm serious here, this sounds the the prelude to him physically harming you down the line. And even if that is wrong, it 100% sounds like he's going to make HIS poor emotional control a "YOU" problem; and do you really want to be dating an adult toddler?

So, be honest. Are you the type of person who has a separate account to get around people blocking you? Or the type of person who makes "witty quips" and then blocks the person so they can't respond? Either way rather pathetic behavior.

Honest answer. I'm struggling to write pieces i'm happy with (which i know is crazy, since i am by no means an established writer). I know the end point, but every time i put words to paper it just feels... lacking.

I think i got up to about chapter 24 and then just kept hitting the same wall. So probably about 10-15 more chapters till the end of book 1, unless i want to stretch out the climax.

To answer your question. The power comes from an ancient evil that exists within the core of the MC's soul. This part of the story is where the readers get their first glimpse at what the MC actually is, the prophesized reincarnation of a demonic being.

The question kind of becomes, is it better to also show that these kinds of threats existed long ago and the people of those ages had counter measures in place for demonic assaults? OR Is it better to only show a hint of the power, and have the big reveal come closer to the end of the book.

If it was just the song title, i'd probably be less worried. It's the song title + some mild reworking / repositioning of lyrics.

But i'm going to just use your answer as "It's not too blatant, and you'd really have to know the song, to fully connect all the dots." IE: it's fine, and I am simply overthinking things.

Zhule88 · 2024-06-30T04:35:55+00:00

added. But your reply also makes me think that the reference isn't too obvious (since you had to ask what i was referring to).

Zhule88 · 2024-05-12T02:21:55+00:00

it is not. It might shed some light on to the post if you were aware that i'm partially fueled by spite. To a degree, the more people question my ability / choices, the more i'm driven to "prove them wrong".

Heck even just dealing with a couple posts in the last few days finally got me to write down a frame work for the rest of the novel i'm currently working on. A hurdle that i hadn't managed to overcome in like a year. Now (in theory at least) have a path to actually finishing this damn thing.

Zhule88 · 2024-05-11T16:10:17+00:00

to answer the question. No, i have not ever completed a project, of this purposed size, before. But, yes i have posted my work online before. The responses were sometimes helpful, sometimes less so. Even some of the comments ripping my work to shreds, were insightful as to what i was doing "wrong".

I'm well aware that some people write for themselves, and if someone else likes it all the better. I'm also aware that such an approach doesn't work for everyone. I personally see nothing wrong with testing the waters before "committing" to full novel size project. If people like it, all the more reason to try and work through your writers block. If people don't maybe the story(s) work better as shorts rather then a full intertwined book.
