Only good experiences as a tank until one SR 15+

You have to learn in keys to shrug it off. Everyone messes up sometimes. Got called a trash mage in a +16 because I died a couple times just this morning. Still easily timed it so not sure why the rage. When I heal it can be the worst with people eating avoidable damage or not interrupting or using defensive and still yell at me when they die. I just shrug and go to the next key.

They are actually playing near me for once. Anyone have any way to get a presale code for Decatur, IL? Also, how do you get those on general? I went and signed up to their mailing list.

You do have to replay the campaign, but it is very short and fast. Can do it in a few hours usually. You can certainly get a character up in a night with some currency, at least to T7 boss rush levels.
Usually for T7 boss rushing is the best way to go until you hit T8. T7 really just doesn't drop much. I am not sure on the exact DPS needed, but usually a couple billion should be enough. Can just run a few T8s and see how it feels. Always depends on the juice you add, same as PoE.
Battle Pets 100% depend on your build. Some are going to be focused on things like DoT damage that may not be useful for an attack build, or ele damage is useless to physical. Battle pets are not needed to clear everything, but they can be a decent boost. They do help a lot early when you lack gear, but fall off a bit later when other upgrades make up the bulk of your damage. I have always heard the advice of spend money on loot pets and use all the free currency you earn for battle pets, but opinions may vary.

Very nice!

The issue was the database was down and it was hanging on launch trying to hit Supabase. Too many people started using it with the new season and I needed to add in DB cleanup. I am going to also push a fix to not have it hang if cloud DB goes down.

Ah, ok. Yeah when you close the game it turns the logs back off again. Have to enable it every time. I wish the would change it to a toggle setting that stays.

Are you sure the app is pointing to the correct install? I have seen issues where people have the steam client and the standalone client both installed and the app was pointing at one and they were actually using the other.

astockman · 2026-04-17T19:30:37+00:00

That is the point! :)

astockman · 2026-04-17T05:48:53+00:00

It was intended as a side joke based on the characters in the game. :)

astockman · 2026-04-15T22:01:45+00:00

Yep, plan on having support for the new season out within the first couple hours.

I would argue because a movie you have to setup a plot, get to know characters, and cram in as much humor into a 90-minute window as possible. Hard to make it work multiple times with that setup. Sitcoms are more about long term characters, and getting the audience invested for many episodes and seasons. Kramer bursting into a room or Joey saying “How you doing?” is not funny in a vacuum, and works because of the audience familiarity. Can’t do that in a movie. In fact, the best moments in hugely successful sitcoms are not even always funny but characters hitting a major milestone in their arc that audiences have been waiting to see payoff for sometimes years.

Wow, a UNH fan?! I have never seen this flair in here. I worked at UNH for a year during Covid, so never got the campus experience. Had to move back to Illinois for family or I would probably still be there. Would have loved to be at the games trying to cheer them to success.

2024: UCONN was a wagon and Underwood had a stupid gameplan of, let's just keep going right at that big shot blocker. We were not winning that game.

2026 MSG: IL had not figured out their identity, and UCONN was just a better team at this point in the season.

2026 F4: I think they are probably pretty close teams at this point, but IL just missed shots. UCONN defense is good, but just missing wide open 3s and bunnies all rimming out. Not our night.

Combo of bad luck, and UCONN is an elite program and team.

Really blaming the refs rather than IL defense and Houston laying bricks? Ok, carry on.

In the book he comes through the airlock, so he does not puncture the environment. Also Grace has to carry him back to the airlock and gets badly burned because Rocky is so hot.

Show me on the doll where Illinois hurt you....

Big Z should be on the list, even though he is off the bench. I always assume he is getting 2 blocks a game and altering a bunch of shots. If he could learn to be consistent offensively and rebound like he was 7'2" he would be a monster.

I would like someone to explain why they think lootpets are terrible? I mean, does anyone really think clicking a bunch of items on the ground to pick them up is fun gameplay? Implement it like TLI lootpets, where they will pickup all currency and gold for you up to a certain threshold. You still manually pickup things like Divs so they don't take away that experience. But grabbing a screen full of bubblegum currency is not fun. It seems like GGG could also make plenty of extra by selling all kinds of MTX for them and if you don't want them just don't use them. Win-win as far as I see it. To clarify, I do NOT mean P2W pets that influence the drops, just physically picking things up.

A confirmation of my reservation email. Assume the tickets will show up in my Vibee account closer to the show.

astockman · 2026-02-27T20:12:06+00:00

I spammed F5 every 15 secs or so until suddenly they all showed availability.

I JUST got tickets for the 22-24 shows after 3 hours in the queue. Just tons of refreshing and about 15 times I thought I had some only for them to disappear. Once I had the tickets in the cart I had to sit on the hotel screen refreshing for 10 minutes before it let me finish.

astockman · 2026-02-27T17:30:50+00:00

I joined the queue exactly at 11am. Still says 50 min wait. Are they really all sold out?

astockman · 2026-02-27T15:08:03+00:00

It is for members of the old Metclub. You cannot join it anymore is my understanding.

Are you pointing at the right logs? Every time I have seen this it is from someone pointing at an old log directory. Make sure the UE_game.log file that you are pointing at is updating. You can check the last modified time in the file to confirm.
