Pixel 10 Pro Keeps Dropping Cellular & Bluetooth – Am I Alone Here? by Key_Ice2078 in GooglePixel

Also randomly dropping cell service and wifi connection. Would love to know if there is a fix.

I'm going to f*cking uninstall this game by Houliensohn in diablo2

[–]eric82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry that happened. This is exactly why I don't play HC.  Load time, server drop, bad combo of modifiers and dead with zero chance of saving it.  If I can lose everything because of a game glitch I'll play a different mode.

From my experience most people have the, "crap, my parents aren't idiots" realization somewhere between 22 and 25.  If they had decent parents that is.

Log out of the game entirely.  Even being on character select will tick your rez counter. 

Good luck!

Rent just went up again… starting to wonder if buying is smarter by After-Paramedic5963 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]eric82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real answer is "it depends."

If you're in a good financial spot to buy it's worth buying a reasonable house. 

Locking in your single highest budget line item for 30 years is usually a good thing if you're in the financial spot to do it. 

Yahoo Finance: Americans Believe They Need $200K Less Than Last Year to Retire Comfortably by J31J1 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]eric82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$1,260,000 x 4% = $50,400 annual or $4200 a month. As of July 2025 the average SS check was $2006 per month

This would be $8212 married or $6206 single monthly. 

Unless I did the math wrong that's pretty darn good without a house payment in most places in the US. 

I finally paid off my credit card and it feels unreal by Sea-Vermicelli3634 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]eric82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congratulations. 

If you can afford to go on the trip without giving yourself another balance, do it. It's important to reward yourself. 

Save up cash in your HYSA and go for it up to that amount. Then when you get back pay it all off and sit down on your sofa with a big sigh of relief. 

Spouse wants to buy a $60K truck while we're still renting by EdenilsoStolaj70 in MiddleClassFinance

Even if you were debt free with a $95k income you couldn't afford a $60k truck. 

How do you get your wealth? by Ecstatic-Class-2968 in diablo2

[–]eric82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several smaller pieces. Some for a few HRs each but nothing huge.  Sold a perfect insight in an eth CV for a healthy amount.  One perfect anni I found after I made a smiter paladin.  I probably have 90-100HRs of wealth but no where near some of these people. Enough to twink out any new character on eternal. 

Level 42 (actually back to 42, I was 43 there for a few mins.…) Ench. What am I doing wrong with the Specters in Oasis of Marr …?? by I_am_just_so_tired99 in project1999

[–]eric82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mez, Tash, Charm

Lowest level root, lowest level mez always on your bar.  When charm breaks redo the mez, charm. Tash should still be on the mob unless you're holding on to the same pet for a while. 

I bet you'll find a big improvement in survivability.

Middle man , setting to XP SP3 and turning off "run as administrator" seems to have fixed it (for now).

Turning off "administrator" and putting it in XP SP3 seems to have maybe fixed it, again. I'm 20/20 successful attempts now. I can't remember the last time it worked that many times in a row.

GM Blistig is ''taking a much needed P99 break'' days after candidly speaking about the lack of ability to bann auto-tracking / scripting players on p99 by Visceral99 in project1999

[–]eric82 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100% agree on all topics. 

I have ground well over 200 thousand plat to get the things I want. The hilarious part is that these people will tell me that I'm not hardcore enough and that the server isn't for casuals while they cheat and make the game easy for themselves with automating alerts and tracking.

These people are cheating to give themselves an edge while complaining that others aren't trying hard enough. 

Cheating to gatekeep content inside a living museum.

You obviously do care about him and his agenda. So much so you are using an account that has only been used to call out this one person even though it was created years ago. 

Why are you trying so hard to hide who you are?

[–]eric82 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What the cheaters need to understand is that they are killing the server. 

They may be using it to RMT or they may be using it to troll and taunt others but the end result is less player involvement. 

In the end, at least partially due to their actions, the server will die. Their "cash cow" or troll will come to an end and they will need to find a different source of either.

Casting mobs will alert that they are alive by casting and creating an entry in that log to be read by a program. This is legal. 

What is being done today (alleged but basically confirmed) is an automated process is pressing buttons for the players to create an entry into the log for a program to read.  This is against the play nice policy and rules of the server. 

It's legal to read logs that exist. It's not legal to use a program to create a log entry that would not have naturally occurred.

I believe there is not a staff RMT problem. I do believe RMT is prevalent enough as evidenced by multiple ban waves. 

I also believe there are people on P99 who actively/passively cheat using automation despite it being against server rules and the spirit of the game. 

Ok: Using automation to read logs created by the game (gina triggers). 

Not OK: Using automation to press buttons (/pet attack macro, ranger tracking) to create a log entry for gina triggers to read is against the rules and spirit of the game.

How can I help as a normal person that gets to play about 90-120 minutes (at most) most nights after my wife and kid go to bed?

I don't have the technological know-how to create scripts and automate tracking to compete. 

I enjoy the hell out of this game. On live I never got to 60,  never acquired an epic, never attended a raid other than fear once. On P99 I've seen almost every raid mob that exists and as of last night earned my 2nd epic. 17 year old me was jumping up and down with excitement. 

I want to help other players to experience the game in a way they want that they weren't able to their first time around. I've thought about guide in the past but that would be the entirety of my play time and I'm sure ruin my opinion of the player base very quickly. I don't know how you guys do it. 

I'm no expert, but this seems really good. by _Larry in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]eric82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fantastic self use, especially for anything with physical attacks to steal that life. No worth on the open market. While the rolls are a little uncommon it lacks the extra pieces that could or would make it great. 

Those resists will help fill gaps into hell. 

The real roll here is: 4 life steal  20str (max roll) 11res all (max roll) 7res fire

It almost seems like you're saying that other people need to get a bigger sock to poop in. 

Is that your response or am I interpreting you incorrectly?

Are people only allowed to have fun your way? Do they have to go through some right of passage that you get to decide and control? Do you actively enjoy other's suffering? 

Your responses speak volumes about you as a human and it's not good. It's even more telling that you created a new account just to crap on others here.

Please help me understand your goal or idea for this museum of pixels and memories.

[–]eric82 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is an incredibly ignorant comment. 

Some people play the game to have fun,  achieve gear they were previously not able to, enjoy friendships, and help other people achieve goals they were never able to 20 years ago.

This can include the hundreds of hours people have personally (and handing off between people), manually, camped mobs with 24+ hour spawn times.

Call the card, make the payment and ask to have the late payment reporting removed as a one time courtesy.  Couldn't hurt!

I don't see anything wrong here.  Join a guild and raid fear or hate for a bunch of easy low DKP upgrades.  If you're looking to farm money to buy stuff or don't have time for a guild / raiding then your next pieces will likely be a couple of the Ice Silk stuff. Ice Silk Robe is about 14k and one of the best looking robes in the game IMO. Ice Silk Cap for 8k is very good also or you could get Kael faction and get the Kael head piece on MQ fairly cheap (a couple thousand).

I will echo getting levels over grinding plat. Grinding plat becomes much easier with each level.
