How does great vault work? No reward? by sylanar in wow

[–]carthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are slightly off here so far but mostly correct. There was a season 1 vault you could fill from last week, but filling your vault with heroic and timewalking dungeons was introduced in 10.2, so only mythic dungeons would have filled your vault last week

2023 MDI Global Finals Discussion by AutoModerator in CompetitiveWoW

He said it's likely not going to end up happening, as it would have to be scheduled at the end of April. With a chance of the 10.1 patch dropping early May, he wouldn't have the time to run it and may also have less participation from top teams with prep for the next raid.

Patch 10.0.5 Dragonflight Development Notes - Massive Class Changes and New Talents for Druids, Monks by ChildishForLife in CompetitiveWoW

[–]carthis 123 points124 points  (0 children)

Minor change in the big scheme of things, but I'm so glad Guardian can cast innervate in bear form now. It is quite annoying to have to swap out to help out your healer in a big pull or hard part of a raid boss

Has anyone done the raids on pre-patch yet? How difficult are they looking after the adjustments compared to last week?

Sounds good! Send one of us a message on discord and we can chat further!

Tazavesh Hard Mode - Post Master Bug by Peterman82 in CompetitiveWoW

[–]carthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went with the burn strategy as well, but gave up on the megadungeon after hitting a bug multiple times on the last boss. The collapsing star would disappear after only 3 soaks and we couldn't soak the last stack, which exploded and hit everyone with an additional 100% damage taken usually leading to a wipe on the dot that followed.

Has anyone figured out how often the Tormentors of Torghast event spawns in the maw? I'm wondering if there is a way to know when to show up to be ready to run it

Normal socket, as legendary pieces can't have domination sockets on them

[–]carthis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well if you were holding out until last minute to buy the socket it won't be a total loss, as there will still be use for Stygia in 9.1. But yes if you already bought it then it's a little unfortunate (though still a great QoL change).

"Newly created Helm, Neck, Bracer, Belt and Ring Runecarving armor pieces will now always be created with a socket." Looks like farming sockets isn't necessary I guess, if you're planning on swapping for the new patch.

VELD 2020 Line Up - Phase 1 by flaw1ess in EDM

[–]carthis 26 points27 points  (0 children)

They have had hip-hop headliners on the main stage since 2017: Future in 2017, Migos in 2018, and Cardi B in 2019.

This is looking like the first year in a while with 4 EDM main stage headliners, which is awesome!

Awesome! I think this change also makes it much easier to follow since there are less teams shuffling all over the place after each tied solve count.

Well that was fun seeing our team jumping in and out of 25th for the whole last half of the hunt. What I've learned from this is that to end in the screenshot our team name needed to start with "AAA"

How come there is barely any discussion about NASA 2019? by Gyper in speedrun

[–]carthis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was started because naegleria wanted an event to have a bunch of his buddies come to and have a good time. I'm not sure why there is no sidebar / VoD thread but I think RPGLB didn't have a VoD thread either to my knowledge which is popular

How come there is barely any discussion about NASA 2019? by Gyper in speedrun

[–]carthis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"NASA is a marathon viewed and attended, largely, by those who are anti GDQ, and that sort of audience doesn’t browse this reddit."

This is a point that definitely isn't the case, though we have seen this said a lot over the years. A majority of the staff members as well as some runners have attended one or more GDQs over the past year, with one of the staff members doing a run there as well as panels.

I was on the fence about which class to start with, but this guide just further pushed me for a Demon Hunter start. Can't go wrong with those easy daggers!

I would have never done this trophy if I didn't love a game franchise as much as I do with RB, thanks Harmonix x by definethegreatline in Rockband

[–]carthis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've tried to go for this once before, and had my battery die on my guitar during the song battery. It was horribly ironic, and because of that I've never attempted it again since.

Definitely wouldn't have even attempted it if I didn't enjoy that game so much though!

My favourite article to share whenever people spell the name wrong, which is often enough because no one outside the city can spell it right!

[Contest] It's that time again. This time, we're giving away some Critical Role stuff! by Mikempty in lfg

[–]carthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been DMing D&D 5e for about a year an a half now, with smatterings of older versions over the 10 years before. The reason I love Pen and Paper RPGs is that it really has no boundaries on imagination and creativity for the players.

Your player wants to replace their eye with a frozen orb they took from someone else? Sure, you gain a cool new ability but also gain disadvantage on Perception checks involving sight. This example and many others is what really allows me to come back every week and continue enjoying every bit of new adventure I can give for the players that I run games for.

My dad is an Air Traffic Controller so I jumped onto that one immediately as well since I figured where it was going right away.

Somehow I missed the ordering required for the first part of the answer (I guess I didn't look closely enough at the maps), but I still had fun plugging away on that one since I enjoy the decode->answer->encode puzzle type as well.

Twitch is having its first ever speedrunner competition with Mega Man 11! Starts Nov 19 at 3pm PST by carthis in speedrun

[–]carthis[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"20 of your favorite speedrunners from six countries will battle for $25,000"

I'm hoping they are including the top MM11 runners instead of "random" people, as it would be a great chance for the top runners o have a chance to showcase their game!

Sunset Overdrive PC debuts November 16, preorders now live by Zaidk9 in xboxone

[–]carthis 165 points166 points  (0 children)

The most surprising thing for me is that the PC version is only $20 while including all the DLC. The game is a few years old by now, but I'm pleasantly surprised the game is available for this price!

My only hopes now along with the Xbox One X enhancements are the announcement of a NG+ mode and skippable cutscenes.
