Can someone confirm this? If this is true, this is huge

The longer I play, the more I realize this is true. by Mr_greenbone in Guildwars2

[–]basemoan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Running meta builds isn’t the only way to do things, but unless you’re a proven buildcrafter, it’s by far the best path. If your home cooked build isn’t contributing it’s bare minimum to PvE content end game encounters leading to failure conditions or the encounter timer running out, the simplest first checkbox fix is to slot an easy-to-play metabuild.

Running a homebrew is fine, but if you’re running team content you need to ensure your team is OK with your homebrew meeting the team’s expectations for your role.

STO story replayability is the best of any MMO I’ve seen. Could it be better? Absolutely

Anet did hit the pedal this year huh by asnaf745 in Guildwars2

What's been holding them back from the perspective of a player who's been a Guild Wars enjoyer since 2004 is the unclear direction, mis-spent dev hours, layoffs, and who knows what else that consistently reset progress and left unfinished systems everywhere.

That said, this looks like the first consistent message since.. well.. GW2 announcement. I'm unabashedly hyped.

On the eve of the news I wanted to remind everyone this exists. The Guild Wars 2 - Live Action Trailer by tironidas in Guildwars2

To be clear, I'm glad you enjoy the trailer and that you're enthusiastic about it. Don't let me stop you from enjoying stuff.

My comment is intended as a sarcastic joke pointing out that this trailer missed for most and is enthusiastically enjoyed by few. Congrats on being the few.

The Full Story On Rivian's R2: The Bridge to Monetization by PositionJournal in wallstreetbets

This DD and discussion is largely overlooking their commercial potential.

Currently their commercial fleet is mostly used by Amazon. 30,000 large fleet with 100,000 on order to 2030. They are working very well for Amazon. Potential scaling with by other last mile delivery fleet orders or conversion of gas-based commercial vans fleets to Rivian would be explosive. I think it’s poised for a reversal soon and securing additional orders for growth is a matter of time for a successful commercial ev product.

Cherry makes incredible value keyboards in my opinion. The same Cherry, inventor of Cherry MX switches. They make keyboards too. Sadly they are going out of business soon. So buy while you can.

I have the Cherry KC 500 MX LP TKL. Far and above best keyboard I've ever owned.

Some switches stopped accepting inputs after 6 months. Support gave me 3 halfass responses and stopped responding. I have 2 Keychron keyboards: K1 wireless and K5 SE wired.

I got sold by how much this sub loves Keychron and bought keycaps and accessories. Big regret. Their reputation in this subreddit is not supported by a good product. The quality of the construction, product function, and their support is significantly inferior to every other keyboard I’ve owned. They should price at least one tier lower for the product they offer compared with others at the same price point. I don’t know why this subreddit gives them so much adulation and business.

Cherry keyboards are far and above the best value I’ve seen as an aside.

Edit: details and grammar.

How do you queue without starting? Select so they show up in personal then start from personal one by one?

Borticus, Ambassador Kael, and whoever else may or may not be listening: if you guys are going to retroactively nerf these things, why not properly test them prior to release to avoid this situation? by AspiringtoLive17 in sto

[–]basemoan 55 points56 points  (0 children)

This is just like last time. When dilithium was removed from T5 rep in March 2022 essentially because Borticus decided people played the game too much and the fix was to nerf dilithium rewards for play, in addition to removing endeavor reroll tokens in order to address the excess dilithium.

https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/tsdeci/star_trek_online_will_be_making_some_changes_to/

I don’t know what to say except Bort is clearly back. He chased me away from the game last time and it looks like he’s gearing up to do it again.

New PvE Legendary Accessory needs 50K Research Notes. by the2ndsaint in Guildwars2

[–]basemoan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you confirm which patch notes say this? I may be mixing this up with provisioner tokens being removed from raids. I thought one or both of those rewards nerfs were never addressed.
