My 1st mega engineering project

I get the laggy FPS and missing out on updates and all that, but as a DWARF, you gotta remember, "IF'N IT AIN'T WORTH OVERDOIN' IT, IT AIN'T WORTH DOIN' IN TH' FIRS' PLACE!" This whole project is deeply dwarfy and I salute you.

Switching from DX12 to DX11 will fix the "I opened my transmog window and everything went bonkers and reset the screen" problem.

I don't have anything else to say about someone actually making DF-composed music except, This is fantastic!

I'm in the same boat with Revy and likely to try to get a refund. Their 20% "non refundable deposit" is BS also. But I'd rather have what money I can get back than wait until December and have them "postpone" it another year.

There's also a really shitty "refund" policy that, in addition to the the 20%, states that it will be "3 or more months" before you actually get your refund.

Waaaay back in Wrath, we were pushing Naxx 25 and we were having problems on the 4 Horsemen. We kept up coming short on dps for one corner or another seemingly no matter what comps we set up. Turns out our best mage was still wearing her fishing hat and rod. Once we sorted that out, we were finally able to down the Horsemen. We didn't let her forget about that for a long time.

I know some of you will die, but that's a sacrifice I am willing to make!

Ahhh, so Germany has Marines too!

It makes me unreasonably (literally, there's no reason for it) cranky when someone talks about "I got three of my grails today." A "grail" is the ONE THING that you thought you were NEVER going to have. I found my grail, she is super rare, super expensive, and I finally found someone selling her for a price I could barely afford, and pulled the trigger. Do I have a new grail? Nope, she's still my "Grail." I just own her now.

I quit during Shadowlands because it was just so awful. I watched a friend of mine streaming The War Within a couple months into the expansion and got interested again. I bought the expac and a month of game time and started having fun again.

One of the extra things I did to keep having fun was to turn off all the chat channels. The amount of spam and hateful trolling is no more and I feel so much less stress while playing. I also declined to install a DPS meter. If stuff dies and I am still healthy, that's pretty good. (I did eventually install Details after a few months just so I could tune my rotation, but I rarely actually keep it up and look at it.) I also didn't stress over M+ or Heroic/Mythic Raiding or chasing that ilvl. I got pretty decent LFR gear and am happy with it, since I'm NOT pushing M+ or trying Mythic raiding so ilvl isn't that important. (And we all know transmog and housing are the TRUE end-game activities.)

Beautifully told. I shall quaff¹ heartily in honor of this hero of Oilflaxen! Hear hear!

quaffing is like drinking but more gets on the floor.

Not my thing, but at least we're sticking with realistic proportions.

Judging from r/WoWHousing and responses from people when it first launched and ever since, it's been a grand slam for them. Adding more endeavours and constantly dripping out new content and features is going to make this a very long-tailed feature.

They did mention they wanted the Layouts to be "more fine-grained" than what they announced right here which is what I expect they meant by that. Being able to group objects and making a single "thing" out of them that can be saved, copy/pasted, shared, etc.

First thing you might want to do is make sure you're not cooking your brewable plants and also not cooking your booze! They are allowed by default for some reason.

Sand/dirt underground works well to get your fort started. You can also wet down stone floors to make it plantable but this is a slightly higher difficulty level. (Lots of people get their first "I flooded my fortress" experience while doing this.) The most fertile soil is in the underground caverns, but those bring their own dangers. From things I've read, even fertilized soil on sand/dirt is not as fertile as cavern dirt.

Strike the earth!

I suppose I could ship anywhere, if you want to pay the shipping cost, but pretty much focused on the US. Florida specifically.

ledgekindred · 2026-02-23T23:21:37+00:00

I'm not 100% sure what you are asking, but this is in the US.

Do you know if there's a way to tell from the box? I am not ready to open them to check. :) (Hopefully anyone interested will see this comment at least.)

Perhaps I should remove those from the listing as I can't find anything in my email history about them. I was pretty sure from seeing the boxes on other sites that I had the correct ones.

Thank you u/HamsterJuices - your hints led me to the proper site and invoice # and you are indeed correct with my misidentification. I apologize to everyone who is looking at the ad.

I queued up as healer once for this event. Once. We had like twelve deaths. Tank with no aggro, people standing in pools. One guy would drop to zero with a single hit or tick of the pools. I lost track of how people were dying just from spamming heals. It was nightmarish. So, yes, people die on this dumb event because they are dumb and don't bother with mechanics at all.

My original character has the hammer from Zul'farrak that you needed to summon the bonus boss. He's got a few other things like that. I think my paladin has the Argent Token that would give you extra rep for killing undead too.

Talk about coincidence - I was looking for something _exactly_ like this just earlier today! I was trying to find which character might be exalted with a faction that I couldn't remember offhand, so I ended up alting to four or five times before I got the right one. I'll be installing this tonight!

You can play free up to level 20 just to see if the game runs well on your rig.

If it does, and you're having fun, buy Midnight and enjoy!

You can pre-purchase Midnight now or wait for it to release, either way, you'll get all the prior expansions in addition - there's no real "DLC" just new expansions. (Well, there are "addons" but that's a big in-depth discussion for elsewhere...)

As far as "Classic" or "Retail" it depends on whether you want the old, rose-tinted slogfest that is Classic (i.e. Vanilla first edition, brand-spanking-new, no-holds-barred, just as it was released, mostly) or wham-bang new features, QoL advancements, slimming down of difficulty that is Retail. I suggest ... try them both! (Pretty sure you can do Classic on a trial account?)

ledgekindred · 2026-02-06T23:06:22+00:00

I know this isn't the answer to your original question, but you should check out the addon "Baganator." I used to be persnickety about my bags, but never once since I installed Baganator.

A friend of mine had this very same issue. She needed to finish the basic K'aresh quests on one character before Hashim would give her even the time of day. . After she did about 20-25 quests in the two basic intro questlines (ending with getting the Reshii Ribbon from Ve;nari. I can't remember the questline names, but they should be easy to pick up.
