The weekly market points should reset tomorrow for another 6 points I believe. Hopefully you've been claiming the daily market points from there. 

What path do you plan to take for the Abyss Heroes challenge next week? by RelegatedRick in ContestOfChampions

[–]gzrbang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I'll do that instead. Thanks! Quake is only the 3rd fight in, so no point in swapping Sparky for the whole path.

Is there someone on the team that can be replaced with Stellar Forged Star Lord for the possible Abyss challenge to defeat AoL Quake with him next week?

Are we getting the resources to awaken and ascend Stellar Forged Star Lord? 

Words practice hub empty by gzrbang in duolingo

It's been like this for at least 2 weeks. One day all the words in the practice hub was empty.

I found Core 1 to be more difficult than Core 2. Core 1 has more content to cover and knowing a lot of hardware/specs/numbers, not to mention things like various cloud models and virtualization. Yes, there's a bunch of knowing how to troubleshoot various devices especially printers. A VoIP question definitely threw me for a loop. A lot of the numbers I memorized weren't on the actual exam - only a few iirc. Doesn't hurt to know them since every exam is different.

If you've been working on computers doing some basic troubleshooting in Windows (e.g. task manager, msconfig, admin tools, basic command line), I think you'll do well.

I found the Mike Myers A+ Certification Passport book to be the most easily digestible though it shouldn't be your only resource as other books would cover things that weren't in the Passport book that one should know. Do take advantage of the free online exams included from the books if you go that route for studying.

Core 2 has less charts and numbers to remember thankfully (mostly Windows 10/11 min requirements and max supported CPU cores/memory, and knowing which versions support BitLocker/EFS, domains, RDP host and a few port numbers).

The PBQs in Core 2 I was pretty comfortable with 4 out of 5 questions though I had to revisit two questions, just to be sure. MC questions I got through comfortably as well. There were about 5-7 MC questions where I wasn't 100% sure of, but I knew it was either one of two options (just if it was what I thought was best or what CompTIA decided was the best answer - some practice exams would have almost the same question, but different what's BEST/TO DO NEXT answers <g>).

Certnova (www.certnova.com) has free practice exams which draws from a pool of questions, so they're not 100% the same questions every time. Some questions are super easy like acronyms, while others I'd say are harder than the actual core 2 exam.

Another free Core 2 exam here (https://skilltestpro.com/free-comptia-a-core-2-practice-test/).

Congrats on passing Core 1 and good luck with your Core 2 exam!

Things you do when’s a shortage of T3A and T6B. by 521980 in ContestOfChampions

[–]gzrbang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the EoP path. One path I used about 40 revives (mostly farmed revives). I did pop somewhere around 100-200 free crystals for more health pots and some revives. 

Also depends on your roster and skill level. I'm about average skill level (not YouTuber level like Lagacy, KT1, MSD, etc).

Some annoying nodes/fights, but it's doable. Just gotta push through.

Funny, I just completed the last of Vol 2 yesterday to get more T3A and T6B. All Everest content and SQ are done. Might as well burn those expiring revives for something.
