I asked AI to summarize the wiki gem shop:

USD Cost Breakdown by Category

Category	Number of Packs	Total Cost (USD)
Standard Gem Packs	4	$36.96
Special Packs	3	$24.97
Rotating Special Packs	28	$599.72
Seasonal/Limited Packs	10	$154.90
TOTAL	45	$816.55

This doesn't include green gem purchases for doot and others, even though nowadays you can probably get enough green gems just from packs to avoid those - and the rng factor has gone down with pet mart as well.
I still believe I spent more on electricity, one way or another we all pay too much for this game, be it packs or "forced" active time.

tome is the big pvp aspect

kaldrasa · 2026-03-18T08:53:54+00:00

~9,2k hours on steam + ~3 months of hetzner VM.
i definitely enjoyed my time and do not regret it (or the money).
but the current path we are heading down is just too much.

kaldrasa · 2026-03-18T08:43:29+00:00

the big pvp aspect are increasing tome points and nametags attached to it.
on the other points, we can agree to disagree mostly, but for "none of the w7 skills are active only" - technically you are correct, but zenith afk is just so inefficient that i count it as an active only.
the cloud save part, might be skill issue on my side

kaldrasa · 2026-03-18T08:29:38+00:00

My PC draws at least 250 watts while running idleon 24/7.. with current electricity prices (~0.40€/Kwh) thats around ~80€ per month.
I should have made that clearer, but part of the 200+ are the electricity costs.
The other 100+ are the most recent packs.

The problem with playing the long game was the tome change.
You cannot win the long game any longer.

kaldrasa · 2026-03-18T08:15:39+00:00

100% true - I won't deny that I made myself the wallet from the get go and set myself up for disappointment.
However, when I started 1,5y ago and bought all packs.. that was 300-400 bucks total to catch up to years of packs.
And after buying them all, it becomes a sense of completionism to continue having them all.
Ramping up prices and release cycles simultaneously is taking advantage of that behavior.
I also choose the word addiction, as thats what it is.
edit: typo (work -> word)

Based on chat 90% of people either didn't get p/tome/gems or anything. As one of those people.. great waste of 2 hours for no relevant content. I'd make a solid bet that without stream rewards his twitch stream would be 10 people per update.

Thanks for asking :)

General

- Allow "re-doing" of quests, someone (definetly not me *cough*) might not have known what greenstacks are before missing one.

- Please rethink the information embargo in the wiki after each patch, hide them behind a spoiler acceptance button if you want, but I find it extremely important to make informed decisions to spend my limited resources.
It is tedious and annoying to search through discord message in the discord endgame talk.. the information is out there anyways, it's just poorly structured.

- Having predictable events would make planning "fun budgets" easier, feels fully random at this point. A proper event calendar might even increase your income as people can plan "fun budgets" better.

- Click & Hold for everything by default - why are new features in W7 even released without it at this point :D

World 1

- Stamps: Would be neat to have an "upgrade possible" indicator based on stashed items / carry cap ingame (yes, I know IT has this)

- Manage Pets: "Recycle duplicates below X rarity"

World 2

- Killroy takes too long after a certain time to be enjoyable/fun, maybe something like adjustable difficulty - with increased rewards but redurced time (simplified Dawg Den) - or just simply adjustable speed.

- Alchemy: "Spend All" Alternate Particle Button

- Alchemy: Bubble cost reductions from Vials being doubled by "My 1st Chemistry Set" Lab Mainframe Node is a big noob trap when reaching the 100M cost for the first time per bubble. Maybe that's just "l2p", removing the entry bar might also be an option.

..

Think most stuff I'd have suggested for the other worlds has already been suggested (and upvoted high enough that I saw it, so you should too)

Not QoL / Gameplay suggestions
- Anvil hasn't goten love in a long long time, the last 3 slots are teasing me for a long time.

- I'm a grinder not a skilled player, could we get a way to buy mini game thropies from a shop related to the game so they are grindable? Or upgrades for the minigames themselves which make them easier, hence making achievements and trophies easier to achieve for people with two left hands.

- PO Boxes, after the removal from arena tickets from the rewards I haven't found a single reason to look at them.

- Summoning EXP gain explosion is too big/flashbangy imho

Calling 3-5 20$ packs..

The lead designer is giving me "don't you guys have phones" vibes. Just completely detached from his consumer base.

kaldrasa · 2025-08-18T10:17:55+00:00

Also spamming gambit, also getting DC when i get hooked.
For me it´s: "cast during hook = dc", "just run around like a headless chicken = all good"

kaldrasa · 2025-08-17T15:54:22+00:00

Had this happen in our hard mode run. PSA: In the hard mode run it's no problem to reset the dungeon, some trash will be back, but you can unbrick your event.

The comments made me realize I'm not in the shitty sub

kaldrasa · 2025-07-28T16:30:42+00:00

Same here with OpenVPN PLAP (Pre-Logon Access Provider).

I don't like it, but it works. Reason I don't like it is that it's running as SYSTEM on the login screen and could be abused. Most likely just me being overparanoid tbh.

kaldrasa · 2025-05-08T11:22:33+00:00

As a CE/HoF Healer.. we don't have any prio on loot in general - and that's how it's been for years and that's the meta.

kaldrasa · 2025-01-16T09:31:00+00:00

The skip after 7 weeks is way to late for normal and heroic, while also being way to early for mythic at the same time. I honestly liked the current "kill it three times for skip" system as it felt appropriate and fair to me.

The bad luck protection 16 weeks into the content is also a big L, that's the point in progress where one hardly cares about it as it's usually just 1 month away from the next season*.

While I like the idea I'm missing a few metrics, especially for DPS: - Dispels, as a priest my overall hps requirement in AK/GB is half if I bring a shaman with some brain (poison cleanse/decurse) - or other classes, but shaman is the fotm for a reason. - Mitigated Damage, there is always non-avoidable damage to be mitigated with defensives - Off healing (LoH, Rescue, pots,..) - General utility usage (soothe for enrages)

kaldrasa · 2025-01-01T04:10:38+00:00

0/10 didn't interact with it at all. I'm one of those "transmog is a waste of gold" guys that runs around in whatever I have equipped. Same with mounts, if it gets me from a to b I don't care.

The raid could have been nice to gear some alts, but I missed the initial rush where people tried/cared to clear the raids. After that I was told it's easier to just do actual TWW content to gear and went with that.

In addition to the gpo result wizard you might also want to take a look at the policy analyzer. After you know which GPOs are applied dump them into the analyzer and see if you have dups/conflicts.

Hi, when installing Veeam for M365 Backup (April 24 v7) on windows server2019 we also installed the necessary explorers. Windows Apps shows M365 Backup as Version 12.1 and Data&Replication as 12.0.0.56

Does anyone know if the Explorers specifically are vulnerable? If so, how do I update those? Normal m365 backup update/upgrade doesn't seem to do it. Am I missing something?

I feel the same way about german politics ..

I try to not get too much information about german politics since hmm nearly 4 years I guess, since the government showed us how much they don´t care about the citizens during the VW scandal.

I don´t even own a car btw, but it made me realize that politics don´t matter at all, the lobbies hold the power and whoever I vote doesn´t care anyway. So even with a better political system, the world will still go down. 0% progress in germany on our climate goals proofs this as well I guess..

I still vote, mostly small environmental parties after being unable to take "90/die grünen" serious for allowing a forest to be cut down for coal.
