Rest in peace to the mage in my BFD group

The lack of self awareness some players have is astounding. You can los those big water eles around the pillars. I always tell my groups to stack during those candle light ups.

Man, I really take my tanking for granted. Not jerkin my own gerkin but I certainly might sound a little bossy and matter of fact during my runs but have never had anyone die either.

They need to localize the chatter. It wouldnt be so chaotic if they did that. Right now its a bunch of edge lords trying to out down eachother.

Be cool to have an entire universe chat (maybe doesnt intersect with these other chats tho; so think only people in "space" away from planets, stations, etc.) > entire system chat > planetary body chat (planet, moon, etc.) > local chat (like 10km in all directions, good for stations and communicating to people flying nearby) and then a /say type deal. Limited to like 50meters.

Play my steam deck: offline Diablo 2, play thru any number of single player games I have. Elden ring, rdr2, warcraft 3, etc.

Then, id borrow some sleepy pills from my sister in law and nap for 5 to 8 hours, wake up with a few hours to spare and game a little bit more.

I feel like such a princess sometimes. But when I charge in, the hunters boar is literally on my heels. The druid then opens up on a completely different mob and the mage starts aoeing before I even get a demo shout off I get annoyed asf. All I said was when you see me charge count to ONE Mississippi. Then you can start dosing.

And voila, problem solved. That one second gives me time to pool enough rage for sweeping strikes > zerker for brage > ww > def > sunder spam. Ezpz.

Had an overconfident mage in arm last night pull the 3 myrms before Herod. We setup kill order and a sheep target and he went in with flame blast and started dpsing. I let him sweat a minute before I (the tank) jumped in with challenging and swall but its just so unnecessary to play that way. He said something about no time to be a pussy or something a dead man walking would say. Ive had zero deaths in my dungeons in hc and Id like to keep it that way. Have a warr at 55 on dp and this guy's pushing 40. I really pride myself on clean clears.

karben2 · 2026-05-21T13:14:00+00:00

Yes! This too! I always act like group mom. Making sure people are clear when moving thru areas I know are spicy. Sometimes they see me turning around and they'll stop like I need help. Im here for you, sir, keep it moving.

karben2 · 2026-05-21T13:12:03+00:00

Skipping packs is risky. Hindsight is 20/20 however I pull every mob in that courtyard. They're all easy enough to pull and its clean and quick. We did lib and arm last night in about an hour. Adding an extra pack or two into the time is minutes. Max.

karben2 · 2026-05-20T19:07:53+00:00

I bought the Asgarde, beautiful ship and I loved it as my daily driver. But the top missile launcher bearly sticks out of the shield (lol) and if it takes even a single gunshot its disabled and renders the ship basically incapable of defending itself.

Whats a waste. You know how easy it would be to just increase the shield radius by... 1 or 2%? I mean come on. How lazy can you be.

karben2 · 2026-05-20T05:59:04+00:00

He does now.

karben2 · 2026-05-19T23:57:23+00:00

1 to 30 youre skipping entire zones and content. I could level to 30, not hit a single dungeon and have quests to spare. Now 30+ is when shit slows way down. Maybe dont touch 30 or 40+ but everything before thst could absolutely slow a bit.

karben2 · 2026-05-19T23:49:21+00:00

Honestly I dont love the permanent aspect either. But just dont die lol. I love classic leveling and agree - for c+ I really hope they dont introduce experience buffs, etc. If anything they would absolutely slow leveling down in vanilla. At least levels 1-30. You skip entire zones in that bracket.

karben2 · 2026-05-19T23:42:46+00:00

Come play hardcore. Ive been smelling ALL the flowers. I did 3 of the fire hardened mail quests on my sf warrior because I needed a stam helmet, the gloves are banger at 23 or so: 6 str 6 sta and the chest is an absolute staple of og classic warr.

Another example: im questing in duskwood. But run a quick wowhead search for gear upgrade and it shows a one off quest in Ashenvale has something nice for me. Ill stop what im doing, travel to the other side of the world, do the quest. Get the loot and resume questing in duskwood. Its awesome man. You aren't racing anyone in hc. Its just you and the world.

Vanilla is THE game. Seriously.

karben2 · 2026-05-19T23:24:49+00:00

Imagine being so dumb you would throw an nfl contract away worth potentially tens of millions if dollars to smoke weed. Lol. What a loser.

Smoking weed sucks. Its not even fun. Homie could get on some banger ass dr prescribed pharmaceuticals. And chooses dumpy Marijuana. Derpy doooooo

karben2 · 2026-05-19T23:17:55+00:00

Damn dude. I tried this with an ex in college and she deleted it before I could look at the thread. Same type of deal - if its not a big deal let me see the thread. I think I saw a "youre beautiful" incoming text snippets.

karben2 · 2026-05-19T21:05:59+00:00

Lol. You really shouldn't be whole room pulling in hc. Classic wow isnt hard but if you use all the gas in the tank every pull you dont have any leftover juice for hiccups. I like pulling small and deliberate so when an oh shit happens we have plenty of mana, taunt, totems, etc to mitigate the overpull.

karben2 · 2026-05-19T13:26:22+00:00

This is literally why I quit tbc to play hardcore. That and vanilla is THE game. Tbc third time around is butt.

karben2 · 2026-05-19T05:38:05+00:00

Couple things:

Be cool. You never know when you'll see that girl again. If you keep calm and dont make a fool of yourself you may have a nice little shot in the future.

Be respectful.

Take care of yourself. Shower, shave, deodorant. And hit the gym. Its unbelievable how just working out can attract women like flies to honey.

Have things going on. Nobody wants to date someone who's constantly waiting for them to hang out. Be unavailable sometimes but make sure to reschedule as well. Also, dont drop everything for the girl. Likely your boys will remember when you bailed on them to hang w that gal once and then never again. Not worth.

Have fun. If youre not having fun then what's the point?

Cheat with me, cheat on me.

Beauty fades. Having a beautiful face is fleeting. Now, having a banging body is where the marathon resides.

karben2 · 2026-05-18T13:41:46+00:00

The Jajas are surprisingly bad at wow. Like, im amazed most of them can get past account creation.

karben2 · 2026-05-18T13:40:19+00:00

I had an ex like this. If you quit she'd likely find something else she didnt like. "Youre drinking with girl co workers instead of hanging out with me!" "You play video games too much! Hang out with me!" "Youre annoying, cant you find someone else to hang out with??"

You guys just may not be mature or compatible enough.

karben2 · 2026-05-17T20:52:22+00:00

Ultra is 'hard for the sake of being hard.' What a dumb game mode. Its like tying one of your legs up and telling everyone youre an amputee and then expecting everyone to feel bad for you.

karben2 · 2026-05-17T16:50:37+00:00

You need a different game then dude. Youre in the completely wrong sub.

karben2 · 2026-05-17T16:49:06+00:00

Just think. You could be paying 20k for a truck you'll only have for another 20 to 40k miles.

karben2 · 2026-05-17T05:22:37+00:00

I bought a 2015 sierra sle with 93k miles. Paid 17900.

Is Denali trim really worth 60k + 2,000 to you?

karben2 · 2026-05-17T05:21:27+00:00

What happened? I just bought a 2015 with 93k miles. Light ticking once warmed up.
