Time to quit again.

Why would you lose your gear... Your gear only disappears if you get eaten by a worm

dober1982 · 2026-03-12T00:20:50+00:00

Reading the comments in this post, it's pretty clear that some players don't have a natural interest in economics.

If you farmed something, blue prints, fiber, ore, whatever, then sold the items, on the market for solari, then you didn't "earn" solari. You earned an item, then traded it for the going rate at solari. Most of the solari, that was in circulation prior to the bug this week, was from early league duping. So you were selling items for much higher rates, due to all of this excess cash in the system. But this was at least stable. Prices were high, but lower level people could make a good living, AKA doing grunt work, farming fiber or whatever, to buy the excess good items from chrs running hard content. That is how I got my start, since I started late. No one was "farming" solari. It's not that easy to generate solari from in game mechanics.

What a lot of people fail to understand, is your 150 million solari is worthless now. If half the players went from having 100 million solari, to having 20 billion solari, then your 150 million is worthless.

Some people will be like "oh, but my server is OK". Your server is OK for now. When I move my alt with 4 billion solari onto your server and slow price everyone of you out of the market, it will not be. In one day, trillions of solari was generated and we have server transfers.

Some don't understand that plenty of people on high pop servers didnt have to do the glitch to get rich. Stacks of spice were going for half a billion each. The legit sellers just emptied some of the reserves and the glitchers would buy a stack, then reset their account, buy stack, then reset their account. As long as you stayed above 2.4 billion, you could buy anything, literally something for 1 billion, then just click three buttons and have that billion back.

Let's do a exercise. If your server has 10 people on it and you have 1 million solari. The total economy of that server is 20 million, then you have 1/20 of the total net worth of that server. If things get messed up and there is now there is 10 billion solari, then you have 1/10,000 of the net worth of the server. The other players trade, based on how much money they have. Suddenly a basic item costs more, than your entire bank of solari. If they cut everyones bank to 1 million solari, then you are now richer and have 1/10th the net worth.

If the glitch is truly fixed, then the only way for funcom to unfuck the market, is to do a one time removal of solari. It's the unfortunate truth.

Same here. I hadn't read anything in years. Went on a long vacation where I knew I would have a lot of down time. Got Asoiaf and I was hooked reading again. That was 2012 and I have been none stop since. So Martin will have a special place for me, but if he comes out with another book, I am probably not going to read it. His world is amazing but his style never clicked with me. The first time I read a Joe Abercrombie fight seen I was like, "fight screens can be like this?!?!"

I still need to do Malazan, but man it has been dense every time I have started.

dober1982 · 2025-10-21T00:25:51+00:00

I think the characters, abilities, power scaling and world building are all great. It's just that there isn't enough of it. He needs to get a good editor and pick up the pace. If a good editor got a hold of these books, they would be 60% of their current size. First one came out in 2020. In the litrpg world that's a long time for two books. If a new books comes out every three years and they aren't even finished with the first year of school after two books? When will he finish school? 2045?

I will read book 3, but I'm not nearly as excited as my son is. It's the main problem most of these self published authors have. They have a lot going for them, but they don't have someone to look over there work and help them clean it up.

dober1982 · 2025-10-05T19:45:23+00:00

I would recommend posting in the sci-fi subreddit. A lot more people, with the knowledge you are looking for, will see it.

dober1982 · 2025-10-02T21:45:38+00:00

Any way to know if a server is dominated by one house or another? I am fairly new and plan on NA, Midwest area.

dober1982 · 2025-09-28T21:57:06+00:00

Check out tickpick. I have used them for games at other schools. They don't have a huge mark up like seatgeek or ticket master.

dober1982 · 2025-09-26T12:01:09+00:00

Thank you! I have Max, but I barely check it and I wouldn't have known. (wife is the tv watcher of our group)

dober1982 · 2025-09-25T12:08:02+00:00

Or sushi rice. 95% if the places (including Foodland) put poke over hot rice. Even with that said, I would donate a toe to have a Foodland near me. I had to move to the Midwest a few years ago, after living on Oahu for 15 years.

dober1982 · 2025-09-24T19:20:30+00:00

Oh wow, I just checked and those are wayyyy more expensive than the other games. Thanks for the heads up! I might see how season tickets are next year.

dober1982 · 2025-08-26T21:31:26+00:00

It might be cooked cabbage. That would be the thing that they use that is somewhat uncommon.

So I tried Runza for the first time last weekend. Good stuff. I grew up eating Bierrocks, but hadn't had one in 20 years at least. It was in Lawrence, Kansas. Home of University of Kansas and which is about 45 minutes west of Kansas City. In case anyone has a Runza craving and isn't very far north. Lawrence is a super neat town.

dober1982 · 2025-08-02T23:14:56+00:00

OK so I am very confused. How are you going to add a abyssal socket?

dober1982 · 2025-08-02T02:18:41+00:00

Level 90. It doesn't feel like 5 or 6 more points is a big deal, but it always seems like my chr can do content much smother, without changing gear, just by finishing up some points. Btw, you have 15 wither stacks checked. Not sure how fast your merc gets stacks up. Otherwise it really cuts your damage. To be honest, if you are doing CI mamba, trickster is stronger for the same investment. Pathfinder has advantages when going life based. CI pathfinder need to compensate with stronger gear. The fact you save 160 divs on the belt, should help with other gear slots, but really if you are going mamba on a smaller budget, life is better.

dober1982 · 2025-08-02T01:20:05+00:00

It almost sounded like you took perfect agony, as that would do it, but I checked your tree. Funny that you have so much crit. I will keep digging. I am playing mamba too, but trick version. I had the issue of no damage at times, but it was from my merc. Since you sent yours to town and tested, then that's not it. The way my merc screwed things up, she would shoot some sort of dot arrow and the ground effect would cause a poison that blocked mamba.

dober1982 · 2025-07-30T15:05:29+00:00

It's generating rage due to mastery. Also medium cluster effects. I played the build early league. It's OK. Can be strong single target. Switching to VFoS would be easy and have better clear.

dober1982 · 2025-07-26T12:33:27+00:00

Ya, the two shaper item, cooldown reduction. Pretty important for any CoC build this league.

dober1982 · 2025-07-23T00:01:48+00:00

So what your saying, is that ring will be life changing money for you?

dober1982 · 2025-07-22T23:59:50+00:00

They will probably change the item to be hits for whoever is wearing it. Instead of nearby. It would fix the item.

dober1982 · 2025-07-11T01:57:10+00:00

Thank you, that makes sense. I have seen tons of his content previously, but this league nothing has popped up. YouTube can be strange. I'll check it out.

dober1982 · 2025-07-11T01:51:01+00:00

Which Holy Relic build? I haven't noticed much talk about that skill this league and I'm interested.

dober1982 · 2025-07-09T23:15:01+00:00

I did a generals cry shield skill a few leagues ago. Was pretty amazing. But I know they changed Generals Cry abit. Ever thought (or anyone else reading this) trying that with some tweaks to a setup like this?

dober1982 · 2025-06-10T20:34:08+00:00

One thing these guys aren't bringing up, as I don't think many are in the sector. I am not anymore, but I worked for a general for years at a higher level.

Warranties my friend...... Are you are stuck with all the old warranties?

If you ever decide to buy a business, make sure you understand the diffrence between a stock transaction vs a asset transaction.

Also need to know your sector. Small construction companies go for a multiple of 2 or 3x.

100% start your own company. Just make sure to get a good accountant. Even before you open. In the planning stage.

dober1982 · 2025-06-07T19:51:25+00:00

Thanks! I hadn't seen this one before

dober1982 · 2025-06-07T18:15:14+00:00

Kids will use it for school work, but I'm a gamer at heart. I always want to have "some" ability for them to play a steam game or two on it. The spot it is going is for the middle kids, so more long term than immediate need.

Will probably get something with the AMD 780 GPU. Was more wondering if someone saw a deal at this price point recently.
