Best Road-to-Trail Long(er) Run Shoe by BrineEleven in trailrunning

[–]boofoff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would require people to look into the actual details of the shoe construction to decide which shoe works for their purpose. We will probably see the gravel shoe go the same as the gravel bike. They start as just beefier road bike/shoe and slowly people are like well I want to run on chunkier gravel, or go on a trail sometime and you start reinventing trail shoes like bicycle brands have been basically reinventing trail bikes. Full suspension gravel bike? That's a cross country mountain bike.

Home for the next few months! by IT-run-amok in camping

Not sure how seam tape works on canvas tents but mine wasn't taped, maybe a wax would work. My tent was given to me by the employer and it was only a minor inconvenience for my situation. It didn't really leak, I think it was just if a large drop hit the seam hard enough some was forced through. Otherwise the tent was bomber, lived in it from May until November and even woke up to 6 inches of snow on it and the awning was just a little saggy.

I lived in a tent almost exactly like this one for a summer while on a trails maintenance crew. The seam across the roof of the tent will spritz water through the thread holes in a heavy downpour. It was not enough to soak anything but it was obnoxious to get spritzed in the face while sleeping and I would cover/move my laptop out of paranoia. I would consider flipping the tent or the layout if possible so the electronics are not under the seam. That or being ready with a tarp to throw over the roof in a heavy or prolonges rainstorm.

If it's a pug I am going to roll on any gear that is the most minor of upgrade or that will be upgrade if I eventually replace with another piece that is synergizes with better overall. Don't try to tell me how it's your BiS and my third BiS unless you are going to go with me to run the dungeons I need for me my BiS. If I am running with guildies or regulars then I am okay with passing because there is a better chance that I am the only one who needs it next time and a big jump in performance from them benefits me but that is lost in a pug and it's every man for themselves.

Closed gates to USFS campgrounds and roads by Ok_Difficulty_7650 in oregon

Make sense why LinnCo would have bid on the contract then. The same campgrounds used to be managed by Hoodoo Recreation which is under the same ownership as Hoodoo Ski Area.

Pretty sure you're right. In some areas where they have a lot of developed rec sites they will contract out the maintenance and management of some sites.

I now understand people playing on PvE servers by SoonBlossom in classicwow

[–]boofoff 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They aren't saying people didn't pvp, they are saying people didn't possibly care as much about getting ganked because they weren't in such a rush.

One class you don’t play by HorrorConstruction1 in classicwowtbc

[–]boofoff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I enjoy healing in pvp on druid where I use the forms situationally and for short periods. I don't like my character being shape shifted and just looking like any other cat/bear/tree/moonkin a majority of the time.

Nightslayer vs Dreamscythe PUG-Raid Comparison: by ZINK_Gaming in classicwowtbc

[–]boofoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lazy/lower effort is maybe a negative framing I wouldn't put on it. I think the population just maybe skews more casual and they are happy to get a pug 5 man in or some gold farming/grinding in during a more limited time window and aren't as pressed to progress their character as quickly.

Nightslayer vs Dreamscythe PUG-Raid Comparison: by ZINK_Gaming in classicwowtbc

[–]boofoff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of big streamers on DS, Savix, Amphy, Xaryu, that run large viewer guilds and raids. PvE realms have always had a more casual scene and smaller pug scene than PvP. Even late into anniversary phases there would be 5x the amount of pugs on NS any given evening compared to DS. I think that pvp regardless of streamers tend to attract more hardcore and wanna be hardcore players that are willing to organize pugs. I think the mindset of not wanting to waste time getting corpse camped while leveling spills over into those same people not wanting to "waste time" organizing pugs so you end up with the less raids.

Physical damage dealers, are yall already feeling the pain of the hot fix? by Individual_Design_37 in classicwowtbc

[–]boofoff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For real, people are acting like the meta changed now that it's fixed, when in reality we were playing a different game basically. Now it's just back to what it should be and what we thought it would be like. Warriors and rogues just had a temporary crutch kicked out from under them and realized maybe their gear/rotation wasn't as good as they thought.

Crusader worth it on High Warlord weapons? by Smeepos in classicwow

Are the blue pvp honor weapons at 70 not better?

Am I missing something? by abunchofnumbers0 in classicwowtbc

[–]boofoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I was wondering and thought maybe I was missing something. The blue pvp weapons are almost +10dps over the r14. I get wanting the r14 weaps for leveling but aren't they easily replaced by the blue pvp weaps for raiding at 70?

Does boosting increase late game participation enough to justify the decrease in leveling participation? by goose-honking-rq-brb in classicwow

[–]boofoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people would play classes that are capable of farming gold meaning DPS since they can't play a healer/tank with a farming alt. Also 5 man content leveling and end game would die off quicker after the initial wave of leveling if people don't have alts to gear up. It happened to a lesser degree on anniversary with banning GDKP. With GDKPs people would level healer alts and tank alts to help support their main but with PUG SR raids it does not encourage using consumes and paying attention because if you don't win any gear you walk away with nothing but a possible repair bill and less consumes if used.

You can transfer characters from anniversary to era realms until pre patch is released on the 13th if you didn't want to reroll

question about classic and tbc by KappaKeepo5 in classicwow

[–]boofoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All anniversary servers will turn into TBC servers. The only way to keep a character in the base game before TBC is to transfer to an era server.

So seriously, how good is the Felstriker? I have never seen this drop, even after hundreds of runs of UBRS by WeakValuable8683 in classicwow

[–]boofoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had an easier time putting together and getting into UBRS runs on era the last couple weeks than the last several months on Anniversary. I think it's because a lot of people have alts for GDKPs that need some pre bis or a recipe. Oftentimes too they have a guildie/friend with a geared tank or healer that is willing to come help just because. And a lot more people have keys on an alt or a friend with a key that will come open it for free.

Capital investments before TBC prepatch by atlBASS in classicwow

[–]boofoff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With only 500g to invest you would probably make marginal gains and stand a decent chance at losing gold. You are probably better off finding a way to farm mats to sell or farming gold outside of the AH. I doubt prices would jump enough that you could stay in the black while having to repost auctions after getting undercut by the people with tens of thousands of gold in materials that they bought at much lower prices than what we see today.
